was killed on orders of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salim on position during the interview and the white house's position now it's still too soon to say who ordered the cheese murder i don't know you know who can really know what if the crown prince speaking to you the president of the united states directly lied to you a lot that he told me that he had nothing to do with it he told me that i would say maybe five times in the last two years trump and his son in law jarrett cushion or had grown close to the crown prince they see him as key to their goal of isolating iran into promoting u.s. economic growth but on capitol hill the idea that mohamed bin solomon is a friend of the u.s. is dying i'm going to do whatever i can to place blame where i believe it lies i'm a put it at the feet of the crown prince who has been a destructive force in the middle east embargoed or without telling anybody this war in humans got completely out of control he put the prime minister of lebanon

under house arrest is clearly this guy's a wrecking ball some in congress say trump's long running hatred of the intelligence community is keeping him from doing the right thing the president needs to listen to what our intelligence committee has to say what our best professionals assessment is and it's vitally important that this ministration not allow itself to become part of any saudi coverup and while the u.s. . has imposed sanctions on seventeen saudi officials others in congress are pushing for much tougher punishment we need to punish who ordered this who's in charge and really the only thing they understand over there is strength already there are two efforts underway in congress to block arms sales to the saudis not just to end the civil war in yemen but also to send a message to the white house it won't be allowed to ignore the indefensible rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington let's go live now to istanbul al-jazeera is tony buckley is outside the saudi consulate there tony what's the expectation in turkey
6:53 pm
about where this whole case is headed. i think it is a kind of note of pessimism here they feel that the way the rhetoric has been coming out of washington from president trump talking about. special relationships and business and money that perhaps there may be a whitewash here pushing to the side that the fact the put pursuit of justice will be lost here the evidence seems to be pointing quite conclusively to mohamed bin solomon the saudi crown prince as being behind this murder they point to the fact that this was meticulously planned this was not an ad hoc spur of the moment thing was a fifteen man hit squad sent here specifically to kill most of his body was dismembered the turkish foreign minister says now that perhaps three suitcases that were purchased in the grand bazaar in istanbul probably used to take his dismembered body out of the country and the fact that saudi arabia while exonerating the saudi
6:54 pm
crown prince has not given any evidence whatsoever even those holding eleven people for the murder they've given no evidence at all details about where the body must have gone so people here are thinking that the pursuit of justice may be lost to a whitewash because of you know money interests rather moral ones and why does it matter of the turkish government whether the relationship between saudi arabia and the us changes because of this. to finds itself in the middle of all this it really wants someone else to take over the mantle of pursuing justice because it still wants to maintain good relationships with riyadh it wants to maintain and improve relationships with washington because there are a whole host of issues that between the two countries talking about steel and allen million tariffs about support for kurdish parties for example he wants to improve business with saudi arabia and saudi arabia a very important member of this this region so they don't want to really muddy the
6:55 pm
waters but having said that they have a moral duty they say to pursue the culprits of this murder because it was done in . under their watch and they want to clear this up so there are lots of issues going on i think they're waiting now to see what president trump will say choose day the cia says quite conclusive about what it thinks it all depends of what president trump thinks now. all right tony many thanks indeed i was there is tony berkeley in istanbul let's talk more about those widening political divisions in the u.s. republican party over at the jamal khashoggi. is an associate professor at lancaster university in the u.k. and a of the trump presidency journalism and democracy he joins us now by skype from lancaster good to have you with us once again robert we saw a report republican senator lindsey graham. on n.b.c.'s meet the press in our report a few moments ago he also said that if mohamed bin simon is going to be the face
6:56 pm
and voice of saudi arabia going forward the kingdom will have a hard time on the world stage when it comes to the crown prince he's a rational he's on the hinged and i think he's done a lot of damage to the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia and i have no intention of working with him ever again what do you make of that. well i think this is going to be a moment for a divided congress and the united states to work with a very nice put nail down concrete trump white house that says you know i won't be surprised if if this week or next week. trump starts to say yeah you know let's not worry about this anymore that you know it's it was an unfortunate event let's just move on and if that's the case that's going to leave you know the house or particular and some members of the senate in a position where they have to decide is this important enough for us to deepen the divides for domestic issues is this important enough for us to go to an
6:57 pm
international stage which is already calling for a greater stance from the united states it's going to put the senate and the congress in a position of saying is this worth the battle against donald trump the president as you say has been equivocal about this summit and what the response to the killing to shock she should should be. you think then the critical voices eventually are going to have to fall into line behind the president this is critical voices from the g.o.p. . well i think you know again this is a twenty and everything for donald trump at this point revolves around a twenty twenty presidential bid it's unfortunate that that me actually be the case but so so we have people who are career politicians wondering what is what does this do for my candidacy what does this do for a cabinet position and what does this do for the policies that i truly want to get through because it can help the american people and it can help in international
6:58 pm
community donald trump is going to use stand on his two feet and he's going to say things that aren't going to make sense to the rest of to the rest of us any way up about this how is it possible that a journalist and a dissident from saudi arabia but also working for the united states media company is allowed to have this happen to him and the president of the united states doesn't even want to hear all of the evidence despite how horrible it may be friend paul is another of those critical voices is he right when he says that the sanctions against the seventeen individuals involved in the crime and not against the saudi leadership will be interpreted as as weakness by the united states how will i know given the go down. well it may be a maybe weakness but it's also helping the saudi officials we're scapegoating here somebody has to take the fall for this somebody is going to have to say it was a mistake we should have done this but here are the individuals solely responsible
6:59 pm
and it's not the people at the top and that certainly is going to help the the saudi position by saying you know we're going to are going to take action it's going to help some people the united states and say here's some sanctions and i think that it's these low level maybe not so meaningful sanctions. that are going to allow the story to to drift off into next week and donald trump would come back and start to be a great those who say you know we should continue to focus on this and he's going to say there are more important things for americans than the death of a journalist at the hands of another nation and that's a shocking as that may be i think that certainly the direction we're going to go and i think trump shown that pattern over the next year over the last few years robert really good so too many thanks david kitschy the associate professor at lancaster university in the u.k. . it with the news hour from hour to zero still to come on the program.
