communication intercepts and analyzing the power structure of saudi arabia but there's still no direct evidence confirming muhammad bin salman ordered the hits and that may be 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 once his intelligence experts in controversial conclusion crown prince m.b.'s is culpable for monstrous murder this brazen killing must have consequences sanctions prosecution removal of m.p.'s and others not continued coverup 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 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 sounds position is secure but there are suggestions that the u.s. may attempt to use evidence of a. crown prince's culpability in to show g.'s murder as leverage yemen the blockade of qatar where the incarceration of dissidents even as some in congress see the murder of jamal khashoggi 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 had her town see al-jazeera washington media reports in the usa that a top white house official who essentially involves an american policy on saudi arabia as quits. in jordan reports from washington people know who john bolton is he is the national security advisor to the u.s. president donald trump but most people don't know the staff of the national security council the people who give john bolton an ultimate lee the u.s.

she left to avoid being fired either way she is a veteran expert on mideast affairs and this was opposed as she had just taken on earlier in two thousand and eighteen what is clear however is that phantom rosa's departure indicates that there is no unanimity of opinion when it comes to how the u.s. should respond to the killing of custody and more important how it should interact from now on with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salim on the united nations and the red cross say that hundreds of thousands of people in immediate danger from renewed fighting in yemen's hard data the saudi or iraqi coalition is trying to retake the key port city from the rebels u.n. officials say the 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 if itas us

a talk on the docks is still a possibility something that could put at risk more than fourteen million a dependent yemenis on the fighting is said to continue as both sides try to gain more territory ahead of peace talks due to be held at the end of the year in sweden mohammed on the world is either djibouti. the u.s. envoy for afghanistan says that he's hoping for a peace deal with the taliban by april so make that as have three days of talks in quetta where the taliban has a political office the u.s. led coalition force the taliban from power seventeen years ago following the september eleventh attacks on new york and washington but the taliban still controls almost half of afghanistan and frequently attacks security forces and government targets it's refused to negotiate directly with the internationally recognized afghan government calling it an illegitimate regime put into place by foreign powers michael semple is a professor of queen's university belfast

a former deputy u.s. special representative to afghanistan who has to go seated with the taliban he says that these talks may prove to be crucial in the peace process there are significant are really as you know remarkable the and boy from his now the now saying that he hopes to get a deal by april because until now publicly the taliban are not given anything away well i think that that he actually the u.s. will really be delighted if the if the taliban would come on the inside when it comes down to they this is the interest of the u.s. they went in there actually because of problems with al qaeda and it was the taliban's sheltering of terrorists rather than the fact that the taliban were in government now the u.s. has got no intention of sort of handing government locks not to talk and borrow over to the taliban but the whole idea of the u.s. encouraging the taliban to join talks with the afghan government is that they can come up with some deal whereby they taliban come into the political system i mean

the whole idea of us of a the plural political system might have been afghanistan is that there's meant to be room for everyone but until now the taliban have refused to talk directly to the afghan government they've refused to acknowledge the government to accept the political. system and they haue yet prepared their membership for the kind of political compromise that would you know would be in both so far what the leadership has been telling the members of. is that the fight goes on until i'm the the us calls out and we restore our government without sharing it's never happened before an apec summit until now leaders attending the meeting failed to agree on a final statement after two days of meetings in papua new guinea the asia pacific economic cooperation summit was less about working together and more about individual statements as andrew thomas reports from port moresby.

international summits usually end with bland communiques not chaotic scenes and the prime minister being bundled out of a conference room who peter o'neill papua new guinea's prime minister had just been telling reporters about the success of the apec summit he'd been hosting and trying to leave without taking questions on its dramatic failure that leaders have not been able to agree on even the plan this language for an agreed leaders statement at the apec summit took place behind closed doors so why the failure to get all twenty one to agree i think your writing is as the chair you don't even not to be able to achieve a community where you have almost twenty one economies agreeing to the agreeing to all the issues that we have discussed and it is not the frustration but it is that we all haitians summit thank you managed to publish something even if it's pretty bland of if they haven't this is how i'm not authorized to have published that and i'll be releasing their due.
