washington will take decisions itself and the president might not like those decisions so he 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 there are suggestions that the u.s. may attempt to use a. evidence of the crown prince's culpability and murder as leverage on yemen the blockade of carter will be incarceration of dissidents even as some in congress see the murder of democracy as a moment to reevaluate the entire relationship between saudi arabia and the us 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 she overturns the old zero washington a secular about to work istanbul and zeroes tony berkeley is outside the saudi consulates in the city tony what's the latest well basic we're still in the situation here where turkey is quite adamant that this leads all the way to
6:53 pm
mohammed bin solomon they say although there's no direct evidence the circumstantial evidence here is overwhelming that it's beyond belief that anyone can launch an operation like this without the crown prince knowing about it i mean meticulous planning that went on to involve this there's still some details that we don't know that there's been some dispute about what actually happened to the remains of mystic shelby's body the turkish foreign minister says that perhaps now those were taken away and the bags that they saw were purchased in the grand bazaar by saudi consulate officials but generally all the all the trail now leads to riyadh they point out also that after the murder of mr casady there's a phone call made to riyadh and the message was tell the boss the deed is done now the question is of course who is the boss but there's also a bigger question even if it's proven and president trump in his administration accepts that it was the crown prince behind this what will they do about
6:54 pm
a such an important player in the middle east policy of the united states standing gets around except for that what will they do they need him on side in pushing away probably won't happen turkish authorities. happy that all of the details now about this case are in the public domain or is there more evidence do you think still to come. that is a question we don't know the answer to they've been giving information revelations through the turkish media on a regular basis no one apart from governments and intelligence services have heard these audiotapes so we don't know if that sit in its entirety or there is more i mean everyone is playing some kind of game here behind the scenes everybody wants something everybody's out to get something so we don't know if everything is out in the public domain at the moment a lot of talking going on i think this now is now has moved to the united states it's moved to the capitals and people are discussing what's going to happen next
6:55 pm
but the perhaps is the turkish side a pretty confident i'm pretty certain that this leads to the saudi crown prince and that's the most important thing as far as they're concerned tony many thanks and deserves to anybody there live in istanbul another development that we should perhaps draw to your attention is the resignation on friday of a senior white house official responsible for american policy toward saudi arabia a move that might suggest fractures inside the trumpet ministration over the response to the killing of jamal khashoggi joining us now via skype steven erlanger the chief diplomatic correspondent in europe for the new york times stephen good to have you with us who was this senior official and why did she resign. kirsten fulton wrote so hadn't been at the national security council for terribly long but was brought in by john bolton considered tough on saudi arabia and she had just returned from saudi arabia where she had been pushing sanctions against people
6:56 pm
very close to crown prince mohammed bin so. including about. tani and that was a bit controversial then she came home to washington and our reporting indicates there was an argument in the white house so i think the white house was very reluctant as your own reporters have said to point the figure directly at the crown prince. she resigned friday night you know we don't know the exact circumstances but from everything we understand she probably was pushing for a harder line against the crown prince you heard president trump in california saying it's still not clear to him the spotted what the. state departments of the cia report isn't quite as definitive so you can see the white house kind of trying to pick out how to handle this one. is very important to the white house policy i

mean jerrod question or the sun involves embrace the crown prince. the crown prince is felt sort of have been reckless there's no question there are rumors that his power as been constrained a bit in saudi arabia but the cia now believes he will survive in the job so he is the future of saudi arabia at least for now which is why it matters to the united states not just president trump but the united states as a whole so which way do you think this is going to go with the president says that he's going to decide in the next couple of days who he thinks is ultimately responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi how can he ignore what is own intelligence agency has concluded. well they made an analysis apparently there's no direct voice of it in some modern ordering this murder
6:58 pm
or him at all on tape so the president could if he chooses it well his analysis is slightly different from the analysis of the cia has made a conclusion present may have a slightly different conclusion or may put a different shape. on that conclusion but as you know there are lots of ways to skin a cat. but i'd be very surprised very very surprised if president trump himself blames the crown prince muhammad been so mom for this murder will congress stand for that . well congress will push maybe they'll be hearings but you know the president decides foreign policy. even this national security council person wasn't in charge of of of person but both foreign policy and on bolton her boss. is clearly trying to do the president thinks ought to be done
6:59 pm
so proper it's going to hearings i mean the washington post all journalists are upset it's just. foreign policy will rule and in the end i think this administration has put so much weight on saudi arabia for its whole middle east policy. containment as they put it of iran it's turned toward toward the sunni is that for trump to come out and blame the crown prince seems to be almost unimaginable steven really good many thanks indeed steven erlanger chief diplomatic correspondent in europe for the new york times. the united nations and the red cross say that hundreds of thousands of people are in immediate danger from renewed fighting in her day in yemen the coalition is trying to retake the key port city from who the rebels u.n.

officials say that eight point four million people are in danger of full scale famine. reports now from across the red sea in djibouti. after a brief pause in fighting a few days ago the besieged city of her days again in flames both in 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. its forces took control of these parts of the eastern suburbs a few days ago philthy commanders say the recent plea for 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 although 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.
