you know overstatement the whole debate about sectarianism the whole debate about out of nationalism the whole debate about the role of the state the whole debate about corruption about the elite all of those elements now and others are engaged on in twenty fourteen where it rooted there and i think in addition to all of that the finger at of playing off the outsiders and that's fine british friends in two thousand and fourteen fifteen americans it's the same with different to play in some states of the same scenario the same ideas the same slogan the same debates something different. the new middle east was formed by the first world war. many hopes the end of the war would herald a new age of independence and peace. but the region has proved to be one of the most tragic and troubled of modern times

a barrier between the two which quite often means only more snow to fall well yes across the plains states are running out to maybe the northern ohio valley but not much in it the temp is still different but we're above freezing at least to chicago if not in minneapolis and down in dallas and atlanta were up in the teens so the division still exists west coast well as well as the way of trying but the breeze is no longer blowing at the interior chief anything is slightly good news not taking you had to monday now and the picture still of a little bit of snow for gone the high ground maybe otherwise temps recover they were up into ten or above new york or washington south of all this and this is the active line of cloud showers have been falling in cuba in the bahamas and particularly down in honduras that line still exists and honchos will get another bit of a pasting and for anywhere down towards panama could well see some potentially very wet weather over the next day or so to give that we've seen over one hundred million meters in honduras repeat that in costa rica and panama some flooding.

9:04 am
the arab. this is al-jazeera. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. talking about the killing we're not talking about anything else we're talking about a killing so who did it as pressure builds president trump says the u.s. will determine who murdered general fish in the next two days. sifting through the damage will get an update from the epicenter of california's worst wildfire and gauge the mood of trump's visit. fighting resumes in yemen's keep port city of the data after a brief pause. fired up about fuel prices
9:05 am
protesters in france blocked roads to make their points. allow the u.s. government is expected to give its conclusion on who killed. in the next two days that's according to president trump himself who says he's awaiting a final report early reports said the cia believes saudi crown prince mohammed bin men ordered the journalist killing in the kingdom's consulate in istanbul called that premature and the u.s. state department said it had not reached a conclusion. still just this audience and our cia director who is terrific and very knowledgeable and been studying this very closely and it's a horrible thing that took place the killing of a journalist very very bad situation. and somebody who is respected
9:06 am
it should never have happened and we'll be having a very full report over the next two days in the meantime we're doing things to some people that we know for a fact were involved and we're being very tough on a lot of people what with this report and we're going to come up with a report as to what we think the overall impact was and who caused it and who did it you talk about a killing we're not talking about anything else we're talking about it kill it so who did it we'll see how britain has been following the developments for us from washington he joins us live from there so she had been getting mixed messages from different parts of the u.s. government over the last couple of days so presumably president and his advisors are hoping to to set the record straight on tuesday that's what it would seem it's not quite clear whether they don't trust was thinking only on his feet or whether this was always planned for tuesday but he did
9:07 am
say that those reports that the cia had reached a conclusion were premature that the cia howden actually reached a conclusion amounts fascinating because we've had multiple reports now that not only has the cia reached its final conclusion it has high confidence in that conclusion which is that jamal khashoggi was murdered at the direct order of the crown prince of saudi arabia. on his way to tour the devastation caused by the californian wildfires don't trump claimed not to have been briefed on the cia's reported conclusion that the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi we also have a great ally saudi arabia to give us a lot of jobs to get out of the to begin to. get out i also think that the president i think a lot of physical. shortly afterwards the president spoke with his secretary of
9:08 am
state and the director of the cia then the state department released this statement recent reports indicating that the u.s. government has made a final conclusion are inaccurate they remain numerous unanswered questions with respect to the murder of mr krug three the state department will continue to seek all relevant facts and we will do that while maintaining the important strategic relationship between the united states and saudi arabia according to several reports the cia has high confidence in its assessment but khashoggi was killed by order of the saudi crown prince but reached that conclusion having examined communication intercepts and analyzing the power structure of saudi arabia there's still no direct evidence confirming mohamed bin solomon ordered the hit and that's all the leeway the president needs to avoid reaching the same definitive conclusion congressional leaders have been briefed by the cia some members of congress are demanding action me senator richard blumenthal tweeted this trump must accept for
9:09 am
once his intelligence experts in controverted will conclusion crown prince m.b.'s is culpable for casualties monstrous murder this brazen killing must have consequences sanctions prosecution removal of m.p.'s and others not continued cover up enabled by trump and the president is not willing to take those decisions the congress of the united states when it comes back. and reconvenes in washington will take decisions. and the president might not like those decisions so he'd better get out in front of this oncoming train according to reports even the cia accepts that muhammad bin salmond's position is secure but they're also justin's but the u.s. may attempt to use evidence of the crown prince's culpability and to show g.'s murder as leverage on yemen the blockade of counter or the incarceration of dissidents even as some in congress see the murder of jamal khashoggi as a movement to reevaluate the entire relationship between saudi arabia and the us
9:10 am
others see it more as an opportunity to clip the wings of a volatile crown prince while still relying on him to advance the trumpet ministrations agenda in the middle east and now we have one more development that's adding to the intrigue on this on this topic the new york times is reporting for the top white house official responsible for drawing up policy on saudi arabia abruptly resigned on friday night and she had been pushing for tougher action against saudi arabia although the new york times is does point out it's not quite clear why she resigned but the fact that she's now gone is again adding to the speculation that the white house may not be entirely united on a response yeah lots more on this still to come we expect for the moment she have a life force in washington. john jones is a u.s. foreign policy analyst and a former congressional advisor on national security he expects the u.s. to change its relationship with saudi arabia. the cia report
9:11 am
essentially has listed out many discoveries that weren't available to the us public or the international community and i can definitely imagine that congress will call for a significant adjustment of the u.s. saudi relationship already out of the gate you have bipartisan calls for congress to pressure policymakers to use this as an opportunity to basically hold the saudi government account to account and when you look across the board what's happening in terms of these reports just over the last twenty four hours you can say with a great deal of certainty that prince mohammed in the eyes of the global community is definitely damaged goods so will he survive and will he most likely still
9:12 am
continue to be within the reins of power in saudi arabia that seems to be the expectation based on reports by u.s. policymakers but it's expected that this relationship will definitely change going forward. as it is tony berkeley is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and has the reaction from turkey. for the steady trickle of revelations and information coming out from turkey. it's interesting that trump is talking about jobs here they're talking about justice and the cia revelation is something that very much in dorsey's what the turkish government has said almost from day one and this was a premeditated murder they pointed the finger of suspicion quite early at the crown saudi crown prince and this really affirms that what they've been saying is correct because this was far from what the saudis claim a and that hoc killing on the spur of the moment this was a meticulously planned operation to kill an opponent of the saudi stablish ment's
9:13 am
so it's reaffirm what they've said the latest information that's been coming out now to is concerning how he was killed either by a rope or a a plastic bag over his head the harriet newspaper which has been the source of a lot of the turkish government leaks that mr casady was injured in jacked it with a coagulant and this is suppose that this was because to stop the flow of blood so when his body was dismembered would be less traces of his d.n.a. and there's been a joint saudi and turkish investigation into the killing no d.n.a. traces were found either at the saudi consulate where he was killed or at the consul general house so they did a pretty good job of cleaning up but this report reaffirms what the turkish government said but what does that mean at the end of the day because as tom says jobs are important but justice here is something they think is very important also the u.s. president donald trump visited the town in california where least seventy people died in wildfires this went through the state's north the town of paradise was
9:14 am
almost completely destroyed wilma thousand people are reported missing in the region after the worst blaze to hit the state in a century tramples again blamed poor forest management for the fires. or trump's also dismissed suggestions climate change caused these latest wildfires the scene of devastation and change your opinion the goal in climate change the president you know. is going to be what we're going to have and we're going to have forests here and say. as we take you over the years it's going to save forests and to the southeast recently of course the saloon has been to the town of paradise she is now in the neighboring city of chico where she has this report. many are in shelters some are staying with family some are in hotels but others have camped out in various locations including where you can see behind me here
9:15 am
a makeshift camp ground on the sidelines of a wal-mart parking lot they've made a little community here and they're just trying to get by and figure out their next steps and we've talked of a lot of those evacuees earlier in the day now i want to talk to some volunteers because we've seen a lot of volunteers coming out as well the community really pulling together to try to help people survive the situation and figure out their next steps i'm joined by the yemen american association of the bay area you guys drove a long way this is iraq men you guys drove several hours to be here right what is it that made you want to come out and help today yes we did we got up at like six in the morning and got the yemeni american so she asian together and we wanted to do our part for the this beautiful country you know we've been hearing about it on the news and we went on ahead this whole week and got the yemeni community together gathered up about five hundred brand new blankets thermals clothes and that's why
9:16 am
we're out here we registered this morning it took about four hours to get registered after we got registered they said we cannot help at the fire site until they finish their investigations or whatnot so they sent us to the salvation army a salvation i think it's our media and what we did over there is we helped bring in the clothes in the donations that people were bringing in and dividing up throughout the warehouse and that was a great experience for all of us so now we want to distribute what we have in our truck to people that are in need of it so that's the whole thing we want to help the community absolutely and however you have been talking to people and what have you been seeing what's your reaction to even seeing and people been going through what we have talked to quite a few people and it's everybody has a sad story and i mean we wish we can help everybody we're going to try and do what we can we're planning on coming back in the next couple days when. they do call us back we have fifty people registered already twenty five stayed and hopefully tomorrow or the next day when we get a call we'll be ready to whatever it is they need from us we're willing to do
9:17 am
that's great and interesting you're telling me that in the san francisco area even though this fire obviously the people here are just you know i've lost so much but even in san francisco you're feeling the smoke and what's the what's the environment like right you know we thought there'd be more smoke out here when we got out here but we have more smoke in the bear area than out here i guess it's blowing towards the bay and it's bad out here but not as bad as the bay area at this time so yes you know you can smell it in the air for our viewers you can taste it feel it in your throat it's actually another concern for everyone who lives in this area because of the bad air quality it says concern for people with respiratory problems and so on a lot for people to worry about to consider fema the federal emergency management association has come to the scene as well people are starting to register with them to think about where they can get permanent housing moving forward and that is really the pressing question that is facing this community now even as they try to
9:18 am
contain this fire further it's mostly contained fifty five percent contained away from population areas but still burning those recovery efforts as i mentioned still going on but the next step that they are going to have to deal with is just where all these people are going to go for permanent housing or the saudi led military coalition has resumed and strikes against yemen's hooty rebels in the port city of how data is now control most of yemen while the exile government rules a section of the south the united nations says situation has pushed some eight point four million people to the brink of starvation mohamed atta reports from nearby djibouti. after a brief pause in fighting a few days ago the besieged city of her days again in flames. fighters us a top targeted industrial complex on the outskirts with rockets and artillery because it was a base for the pro-government alliance backed by so did the u.s.
9:19 am
its forces took control of these parts of the eastern suburbs a few days ago philthy commanders say the recent p. four ceasefire is simply a ploy to allow their allies to the group. a military escalation must be met with a similar escalation once the balance of power is gained over they are in possession of advanced technologies sophisticated weapons in addition to the logistic support from the usa then a political solution can be acceptable to them if we remain weak they will dictate their own terms. the two day law in fighting earlier this week seems all but shouted on the residents of the city are bracing themselves for more fight. video posted on the internet by the pro-government dance brigade shows troops advancing towards the neighborhood south of near the city's airport. data has been under attack for months dolphins' it is aimed at cutting off a controlled areas from their main supply agreement. the un and the international

from one of cyrus. for a year and two days they walked into the same question where are the forty four loved ones the crew of this on kwan finally they have some answers but not closure just yet 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 detected just said i was the sun one we couldn't believe it we turned on the television and they said it was the sun one this and one was on a routine patrol before it went missing the crew reported water enter the snorkel area and cost shorts or quitting problems that provoked a fire an explosion was later detected submarines are built to be difficult to find it proved impossible for thirteen countries who joined the two week long search operation the argentine maybe provoked anger and dismay among the crew's relatives by officially ending that search. contracted by the argentine government the u.s.

company ocean infinity has combed the deaths for more than two months. on the first anniversary of the disaster 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 it positively identified the. resistant shell is in one pace but it's deformed and dented inside which was caused by external pressure of the hydrostatic column at nine hundred meters you know. the government says that now it's time to find out what happened. the president specifically told me that we had to find a submarine and find the truth to get justice now we have found the submarine we need to establish what the causes were and if there are people responsible. but the relatives one the judiciary to look into the current administration but also into
9:24 am
the previous one the submarine was refurbished during the previous administration of former president cristina kirchner many are calling into an investigation of everyone involved in the process earlier this year the police raided several navy bases and shortly after the head of what. my mama had judges meeting an investigation into what happened because the relatives want to know why was it possible that water entered the snorkel area of the summer which is what caused the fire for the cruise families closure will only come with accountability. i'll just see it up with a situs. a trade tensions between the u.s. and china are dominating the apec summit in papua new guinea on saturday chinese leader xi jinping took an aim at u.s. protectionism while u.s. vice president mike pence said washington would not back down until beijing changed its ways to impose tariffs on each other's exports andrew thomas is live for us
9:25 am
at the summit from the caf talk port moresby so andrew what's been the main takeaway there. well this is supposed to be the asia pacific economic cooperation forum but there's been a lot less cooperation than the has been competition between two countries in particular that want to get their agendas out there the united states on the one hand and china on the other and in their speeches on saturday the president of china or the vice president of the u.s. really use their words to lay into the policies of the other country china's president using haste so it's not the protectionist policies that the u.s. vice president paints using his speech to attack the soft loans of china and the way they influence many of the countries in this region so a lot of competition that currently all the leaders the twenty one leaders of the twenty one i pick members there are it's the leaders will treat right now behind closed doors so he about the same stance of issues about cooperation that they
9:26 am
should be discussing here but this is more than just a conference for political leaders on the sidelines is a business forum and there are many campaign groups here one of the issues that particular effects pop when you get it is the devastating deforestation that is taking place in huge parts this country and i'm joined now by will nichols of the group canopy watch and you've got a policy initiative about deforestation why come to apec why this is a good opportunity to push your initiative forward well the main problem with deforestation is that has an impact on the communities and with this particular form the three main players that are here so up new guinea has the locks they processed in china and they're sold in america as woods furniture will florrie and when pressed it she. first time he's listed what you need from mr o'neal of course a pop when you get up you know going to meeting with either of them only so what's the point of making the noise now why does i pick how well the dynamics are that
9:27 am
there is a expert group on illegal logging and. forestry related products so with this particular forum is there a way to release this policy initiative to allow us to crying crater and impact on what the actual agendas are in these big committees because i think it's supposed to build about sustainable development so i guess your emphasis is on the word sustainable as much as it is on development and that's something you need to push right well the agenda that we actually have is threats to protect the waterways world where when the logging is taking place so normally well in theory there should be a fifty meter buffer zone between the water water courses and the looking operations this is never actually a do to so it's roads going into the logging. taken out of the logging so when the waterways become polluted the rescript destroyed drinking water is it just creates a poverty site well hopefully your issue can get some attention and there are many other people here who are also trying to push their agenda forward and on the business side of things as well there are many competitions initiatives trying to
9:28 am
generate attention for sustainable development projects both are in papua new guinea and around the country it's all report now shows a little bit of one of those projects and then talks about how the leaders of the league with the issues here and. technology and international trade mean papua new guinea and we can sell the baskets to anyone in the world crystal queue developed an app to help and at this weekend's aipac summit has been awarded a price for innovation i'm so happy that i'm doing this i have a chance to utilize digital technology to bring harm and development to. in a very simple people even losing his appeal to. the ambition of the asia pacific economic cooperation group is to foster better relations and smooth the trade. in the twenty one biggest economies of the pacific region combined they're worth more than hoff the world's total but papua new guinea's economy is the smallest of those in the
9:29 am
apec group and there's obvious poverty in port moresby a city right now where security is tight most years the leaders of all apec countries attend its annual summit the u.s. president as leader of the biggest economy in the world is the star attraction but donald trump is skipping this year's event leaving china's president xi jinping as the leader in the spotlight and in his opening speech were clear criticisms of 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's and malaysia has criticised terrorists too but the us 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
9:30 am
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 pm jeez man a silent us has been there before obviously during world war two but to be back in this region and potentially partnering with a stranger and thingee on permanent military facility in this part of the world very much a push back on some of that strategic movements in the region this weekend there are strongly in warships protecting port moresby and the cruise line where leaders gave their opening speeches this is the biggest event papua new guinea has ever hosted but without the us president it's not as major an event as it's hosts had hoped for though donald trump isn't here his presence is being felt his protectionist policies and china's growing assertiveness are the twin contexts for
