act against riyadh over the mud a journalist. the us president admitting that the saudi crown prince could have known about the plot to kill but does not want any more measures against the saudis early a state department official said the cia report made it quote blindingly obvious that prince mohammed bin some man ordered a special g.'s mudda a trump has defended america's alliance with saudi arabia saying he needs to put american interests first it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first they're buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth of things from this country if i say we don't want to take your business if i say we're going to cut it off they will get the equipment military equipment and other things from russia and china russia and china would be

very very happy because right now we're doing very well against china we're doing very well against everybody including russia and i'm going to keep it that way and i'm not going to tell a country that's spending hundreds of billions of dollars and has helped me do one thing very importantly keep oil prices down so that they're not going to one hundred nine hundred fifty dollars a barrel right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being full it was saudi arabia our mike hanna is live for us now from washington d.c. so mike an astonishing statement there from president trump what more did we have to say. indeed a statement filled with a large number of exclamation marks certainly president trump making very clear that the primary motive for any decision he makes is transactional it's all about

economy he contends certainly this is something that's come under immense criticism in the hours since president trump released that statement insisting that he did not want to take any action against saudi arabia that would impinge on the u.s. as economic relationship with them will certainly his critics contending that he is putting the economy before moral values insisting that the fact that it would appear that he simply doesn't care whether or not muhammad bin solomon was involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi but amidst all the criticism he did get support from his secretary of state. so it's a meeting at the world out there. of the middle east in particular. there are important american interests to keep the american people safe to protect americans not only americans who are here but americans are traveling and working through the

business in the middle east it is the president's obligation indeed the state department studio as well to ensure that we have the policies that further the american america's national security so as the president said today the united states will continue to have a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia they're important partner of ours we will we will do that with the kingdom of saudi arabia its people that is that is the commitment that the president made today so mike what's been the reaction from the u.s. congress and presumably a lot of a lot of pushback. well certainly can be summed up in one word absolute fury the president trumps a major supporter in the past has been republican senator lindsey graham well he's at the forefront of criticism of the president's statement insisting that the senate is intent now on introducing sanctions against saudi arabia and significantly adds including against appropriate members of the saudi royal family

as he puts it another senator bernie sanders says that the senate will now go ahead and vote on a sanctions bill that has been introduced in the senate which basically implies sanctions against saudi arabia by preventing any further u.s. support for its ongoing operations in yemen so very clearly congress is going to go for a bipartisan reaction to president trump statement we heard from senator lindsey graham that there is enough bipartisan support within congress to make this happen the key issue here is that any legislation that the president does like coming out of the house or out of the senate he can simply veto but the way to get around the veto is a two thirds majority in both the house and senate and clearly given the mood of congress at present that is that the stink possibility all right for the moment my kana live for us there in washington thanks mike our reaction to trump's comments was quick and scathing as you've just been hearing here's what former cia director

john brennan tweeted since mr trump excels in dishonesty it is now up to members of congress to obtain and declassify the cia findings on demand death no one in saudi arabia most especially the crown prince should escape accountability for such a heinous act. a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations condemned trump and payors response over twitter saying it is a mean and nasty world but trump siding with the meanest and nastiest out there detecting a c.c. putin or assassin m.b.'s will leave the world even nastier but this statement is a green light for would be murderous in countries that have things trump thinks we need iran's foreign minister zarif as also hit out to donald trump on twitter for his statement saying mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accuse iran of every sort of malfeasance he can

think of perhaps we're also responsible for the california fires because we didn't help break the forests just like the finns to which i'm fredricks is a syndicated radio talk show host in the us he was chairman of the trump for president campaign virginia unit unit he joins us now from virginia beach thanks very much for being with us so what do you make of the president's statement then thanks for having me brilliant. what the president did tonight and everybody is missing is he surgically and strategically severed or homik been solomon from the saudi kingdom that's what he did what he said is i'm not going to let one person stand in the way of my strategic relationship and the u.s. strategic relationship with the saudis i'm going to separate out

a pure business transaction of four hundred fifty billion dollars and one hundred ten billion dollars of arms sales it's not one hundred fifty billion dollars it's not one hundred fifty billion dollars taken is completely that's been completely overstated in fact for the moment it's a filipina half billion that is coming from the state department's own figures the actual value of u.s. arms sales to riyadh is a ten and a half billion and those are just letters of offer and acceptance which and it's all part of a longer process of arms transaction there's a memorandum there is a memorandum of understanding of four hundred memorandums of understanding going to have contracts are completely indifferent but isn't the president completely understating this nothing when he's talking about hundreds of billions is not an issue then why did you bring it up. no because there is a memorandum of understanding that's what governments go by they go by memoranda but that's separate the real question here is that what donald trump has done to i would president trump is done is he has basically hung m.b.a.'s out to dry he

didn't implicate him and he didn't exonerate him he left him hanging and sifting in the wind he said maybe he lied to me maybe he did maybe he was there or murder or maybe he was not involved i don't know but anyone anyone anyone could have said that you know and i want to get a sense of what i mean it's a there's a messy finish what sort of a message is this sending letters what sort of a message is the and i not think that the united states sends into the will cannot accomplish if you're just repeating yourself now what sort of a message is the united states senate on took a little let me answer in including when it's putting essential business business interests and money ahead of human rights. he's not doing that at all you're missing the whole point of this what the president has said is he has an america first agenda he's making decisions that are in the best long term strategic

interest of the united states but as far as m.b.'s is concerned he is sifting in the wind the m.b.'s charm offensive of going to the united states and meeting with members of congress and c.e.o.'s that's over he's never going to get back if there isn't a c.e.o. in the country who will meet with him there's not a member of congress who is ever going to meet with them b.s. again he's tarnished forever now this president is not in the business of regime change but here's what he did he left the door wide open to further sanctions he left the door open to congress making actions he left the door open to preserving the relationship between the two countries exile genus of mohamed bin solomon and the final thing he did is he left the door open to regime change any of these things can happen this is the way the president has laid it out today nobody can

see what he did and it was a strategically brilliant move and in the best interest of the people of the united states when the president says the president says at the top of his statement that the world is a very dangerous place when he says that is in the making it more. by a by allowing the. saudi leadership to essentially get off on this scot free isn't he making the world them even more dangerous place by sending the message to them that they can get away with this. nobody's getting away with anything what he said is that he doesn't know if m.b.'s lied to him or not he doesn't know what m.p.'s did what that means is the relationship between mohamed bin solomon and the president of the united states and the leader of the free world is finished that's that's done so the saudis have to figure this out he's protecting the strategic

interest of the united states putting america first ahead of this but he has he has completely destroyed mohammed been so men's ambitions he mohamud been saw men has campaigned in the united states as a reformer now you know what he is a point sure and everybody knows that and the president knows that whether he was explicitly commanded this or not the cia thinks he was involved in it and the president has the left mohamed bin solman sifting in the wind all right we're going to have to leave it there john fredericks thanks very much for being with us thank you for having me and turkey says it is not satisfied with the level of cooperation it is receiving from saudi arabia and may seek a former united nations inquiry into the shoji killing their foreign minister is in washington and spoke about the journalist's murder you know if you see them and in addition you lose time i think you can then we believe that nobody came to turkey

without preplanning first eleven have been invested all this have been set free why have they been freed and why is someone to the death sentence the question needs to be answered any investigation should be conducted according to turkish law they have to be handed over to turkey we should have cooperation it's not just up to saudi arabia to bequest information from us we also have to be given information by them. attorney bert's attorney but he has the latest now from istanbul. mr chairman all of the turkish foreign minister was speaking after the president trump statement and after meeting with mike pompei over the under secretary of state he did refer directly to those meetings and that statement but he did reiterate a call to the saudis to hear better cooperation in this inquiry into who killed mr khashoggi they said they're not getting enough information from the saudis they're not sharing that information and he called for further details of the men the

saudis say they are holding especially the five that are facing the death penalty the turkish authorities say they know nothing about these men they want the chance to question these men as part of the investigation and they want a trial to be held on turkish soil they say that's the only way of having a fair fair and open trial they've been complaining about the lack of access and also they're talking about the fact that the saudis are not cooperating and they understand why a number of countries may be scared about setting the saudis because of their economic might and turkey is prepared to put that in jeopardy because they have to pursue justice there has been some dismay in ankara about the statement from president trump they find it a little bit kind of unbelievable that he can just dispell the finding of his own security service and believe the word of a man who they believe is responsible for ordering the killing of mr saudi this is going on they say it's not going to when they will pursue justice as long as it

takes. we got plenty more ahead on this news another day of protest in south africa as a foreign minister faces a major corruption inquiry. organizations take a stand against israeli occupation of palestinian lands. for we'll hear what the head of european football has to say about the possibility of a break. first afghanistan has declared a day of national mourning after at least fifty people were killed in a suicide attack in the capital kabul and interior ministry spokesman says more than eighty others were wounded in the assault a suicide bomber detonated his explosives inside a wedding hall during a gathering of muslim religious scholars they were meeting to mark the birthday of the prophet muhammad. i heard the explosion just to take my cousin out of there

whole deal out anyway whatever they try to do which is good news for this wrecking crew the ultra right wing faction of the conservative party their promise that they would have enough to sensing m.p.'s by now to force a leadership contest has gone up in smoke but they still believe their moments will come oceans is a version of virtues it grows at such we shall see whether this is coming. there's a meaningful vote as well those who woke up this week. nor is the british parliament the only rock to reason make it crash into the spanish government has said it will veto the whole brics it deal between the u.k. and the e.u. if britain insists his outpost of gibraltar is regarded as parts of the u.k. and any trade negotiations for spain is effectively the same as giving up a claim to the contested territory he would have to look at benefit. to broad does not belong to the u.k. it is represented by the u.k.

but it doesn't belong to the u.k. therefore as a country we cannot assume that what will happen to the growth of the future depends on a negotiation between the u.k. and the e.u. it will have to be something that it's defined agreed are never stated between the u.k. and spain it may be a scam consolation for the reason may that there's a rare sink in the unity of the european union but it's nothing compared to the problems he has at home on wednesday through go to brussels to continue the negotiations over the draw withdrawal agreements knowing full well that in just over a fortnight's parliament here could trash the inside deal lawrence leigh al-jazeera westminster in london. the us president says it is fake news to compare hillary clinton's use of personal e-mail and during her time as secretary of state with reports his daughter used personal email for government business in the washington post says ivanka trump who works as a white house adviser sent hundreds of e-mails from a personal account that is

a violation of public record laws donald trump has repeatedly called for his former democratic rival to be jailed for using private e-mail why she was in office. donald trump's lawyer says the u.s. president has submitted written aren't as to questions by special counsel he is investigating if trump's campaign colluded with russia to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election to trump has repeatedly called the investigation a witch hunt and says he would not stop his acting attorney general if you move to curtail the inquiry italy's foreign government has ordered the seizure of the migrant rescue ship the aquarius accusing it of illegally dumping toxic waste the vessel which was chartered by doctors without borders is currently stuck at the ports in the french city of say the charity denies any wrongdoing and says italy is trying to criminalize humanitarian missions special butler reports. italian

magistrates say this video shows potentially toxic waste being offloaded from the aquarius rescue ship in the sicilian port of catan you're welcome and can be seen sorting through bags of medical trash finding syringes and throwing away clothes the magistrates accuse one of the charities that runs the ship doctors without borders of having dumped twenty four tons of waste on past missions allegations the charity denies. it has been use a drug being criminalized exists they say our work arabs people smugglers were given special codes of conduct or lessons to say taken away from us this is just another way to stop us from doing our work from the aquarius began operations two years ago it's rescued thirty thousand people on the often treacherous sea crossing between libya and europe but since october it's been stuck in the french belt of mass say it needs a new registration to sail off to panama withdrew its license al-jazeera fisted the

ship shortly after it docked it was being cleaned at the time doctors without borders say that italian authorities have frozen the charity's italian bank accounts and ordered that the aquarius ship be seized. italy's interior minister met any says that italians are fed up with bearing the brunt of europe's migrant crisis in june he prevented the aquarius from docking in italian ports in a tweet on tuesday he said the ship aquarius has been seized i've done well to block the ngo ships not only have i shut off traffic in illegal immigrants but also it seems in toxic waste. more than fifteen thousand people have drowned in the central mediterranean since twenty thirteen there have been no rescue boats in the area for more than three months charities warned that unless the aquarius can continue its vital work many more lives will be needlessly lost or paris.

one hundred six central american asylum seekers have arrived into one adjoining a growing group in the mexican city a u.s. judge has blocked president donald trump's order to bar people from seeking asylum if they enter the country illegally border agents are preparing for the so-called caravan of people making their way to the u.s. security has been upgraded at some crossings let's cross now to where john homan is standing by live so john what is the latest there are on the migrants assemble there. it. was about two thousand between two thousand and five hundred people maybe a little bit more that are in this center that's behind us they've been there already for nearly a week and you can see here there are nations coming in here from people in terms of food in terms of clothes that we will circle here just yesterday night we saw people locals really handing out food and things like that so the outside in terms

of the organization here by the authorities it's been a little bit. cautious they haven't provided quite as much for the especially as a man has said that these might be people that have bice's they might be people that have been addictions the people who are within the center saying that they're being provided just enough food by the city authorities to get by but they're going to be here for quite some time we're talking probably in terms of how many months here while they wait to see if they can get asylum to the united states now on the other side of the border the secretary of homeland security for the united states was saying that there were about five hundred criminals in this caravan that's been sort of the accusation of the united states government from the start since a. accusation of five hundred criminals it was based on already provide any evidence or it can say it's of men and women and there's lots of children in this

caravan and it's now spread throughout mexico this two thousand five hundred as i said. coming out through the country about eight to ten thousand in the country as a whole and what's the atmosphere there like at the moment particularly given that many local people in town and the mayor as well and has expressed a lot of opposition to to their presence there. and the exact. i think a lot of local people there's been sort of especially on social media videos and things flying around since they've been rejecting it saying that they don't want to eat beans anymore which is what they've been given they've been traveling for more than a month now and that's really fueled the sort of. feeling of resentment against i suppose people that are going to be here for some time especially in the town of thirty one there's also people that are helping out as you can see behind me but i

think maybe a difference here and to other towns in mexico is that in other towns along the route they've stopped maybe for a couple of days they've taken over the town square and slept out in the open and then they've moved on i think one as the town which usually is more accepting of migrants is where the people are going to be here for a lot more time basically because they're being processed very slowly for asylum into the united states and for their asylum requests so this is going to last a lot longer and i think that's affecting the perception of people towards them in this town all right john home and life for one. the been protests for a second day in south africa as the inquiry into government corruption continues the economic freedom fighters party demonstrated in johannesburg as former finance minister pravin gordhan testified he's been talking about his term under former president jacob zuma the inquiry is part of current president cyril ramaphosa is

a number of changes were made to the finance ministry specifically that of the minister at the time there were at least six ministers over a period of three years and he says at one point these other african economy lost billions of rand about four billion dollars in a couple of days when a new minister was appointed one who was not respected very and people knew very little about but the many south africans the question that's come up is just how far the ruling party the african national congress is could be implicated in these allegations of corruption just how. he walked close who knew what and who was involved in these allegations of corruption and how it's affected millions of south africans. gorrostieta head on and is it a pakistan summons the u.s. envoy what's behind the latest flare up between the ones close allies plus.

hello again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s. president has admitted that the saudi crown prince could have known about a plot to kill saudi journalists. but says he's not going to take any more action against. the cia report supposedly concluded that the crown prince ordered the killing. donald trump's comments have been widely condemned with former top u.s. officials accusing him of giving a green light to countries to commit murder the iranian foreign minister also lashed out of trump on twitter for bringing iran into his statement about the saudi

crown prince is involved. afghanistan has declared a day of national mourning after at least fifty people were killed in a suicide attack in the capital kabul explosion targeted a meeting of islamic scholars at a wedding venue. and more now on our top story trumps comments on the case and the fear of it has cause and is the executive director of the arab center washington d.c. he was a friend of john murtha shoji he joins us on skype from fairfax in virginia so just broadly speaking then what do you make of the president's statement on this. i think it was somewhat of a strange event on the one hand this is the same president. only on sunday in a measure interview requests to the intelligence community to resubmit a new. assessment or a reassessment of the events leading to the murder of yet today he

attempts to preempt that reassessment before he hears back from the intel community so in a sense. gave him basically a slap in the face and proceeded to preempt reassessment essentially what he offered that is statement today i believe is like a presidential pardon. amendments been some man in advance of finishing the investigation even in saudi arabia and terms of listening to his own intelligence community so how do you see this play out then with the pushback that he's already getting from u.s. congressmen including congressman his own party on this. i think he is going to get more of a push back once congress is fully back and functional from the elections and in the current recesses pertaining to thanksgiving and christmas i think we should see

some pieces of legislation trying to force the hand of the administration to be more responsive to the seriousness of this crisis and that would be probably be enforced over the next few days and few weeks as more results. found whether the u.s. and dominance community or the turkish intelligence community or even by the saudis with regards to the actual details and the facts of the case. and as far as the techie reaction to all of this obviously this is this is not what they had hoped for from washington what are they likely to do. i think we want most probably see additional leaks in public even though that information has been released by the turks to their counterparts here in mclean virginia at the cia during that

director is the director of the cia his visit to turkey i think they will be leaking now that information that was shared with her which was shared with the president but apparently as he said today he had met that today that he doesn't seem to care he suspects that maybe. m.b.'s had been some man knew more about the situation maybe even then maybe we will never know that's the way the president of the united states spoke so i think it would be an interest of the turks to to go ahead and leak more information and public good to speak with you. joining us there from fairfax virginia thank you. other been more airstrikes and gun battles in the yemeni port city of her data. lisa say fighting near the city center were some of the worst they've seen in

palestinians on the ground but rights groups say it's an important way in which highlights the issue of illegal settlement expansion and of who has access to land which remains at the very heart of this conflict stephanie decker al-jazeera in the occupied west bank it's been seven hundred days since al jazeera journalist mahmoud his saying was arrested and jailed in egypt without charge last month a court in cairo renewed his detention for the seventeenth time he's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera have strongly denied saying is repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail and jazeera has condemned the repeated renewals of his imprisonment and the network continues to demand his release. a members new guinea's armed forces have stormed the parliament over a pay dispute stemming from the apec form it recently hosted they broke windows smashed furniture and tore pictures from walls inside the parliament house the government

thousand and eighteen and there was still a document saying i don't know that something will happen. we discussed it with all the big clubs and. the it was most serious discussion about what is ruled out its super elite what must be ruled out and this it's extremely important to me is that as far as easy is concerned as far as you venters is concerned as they also represent your interest in twenty eight teams they have been no talks about super league sweden have secured promotion to the top tier of the wife in nations that need a seal top spot in league b. group two by beating as it is russia so you know that lindelof got the opening just before half time and after the break marcus berg scored number two his first international goal in more than

a year on monday the netherlands got the draw they needed against germany to qualify for the finals at the expense of world champions france the dutch will join host portugal along with england and switzerland at next june's tolerance our sports correspondent late welling says most fans have been won over by the formats . yes it's complicated because we get to the end of the games in the end of this intense period of three months or so you find a situation where there were a lot of crucial games injected exactly what your wife a wanted they wanted to get rid of this thing about meaningless friendlies but i don't think i could have predicted or myself that the going to be so good in the final few days you had incredible going between croatia and spine and then in that group managed to get through with a late goal just when they look like they're on the verge of being relegated your side of the situation with netherlands coming back against germany and that meant france missed out on getting to the finals that we played in june and also have switzerland really been given enough credit for what

a victory over belgium and i think there was so often on the righted i don't think people expected bodum to go through and be in those finals so you had phone much to get stuck into in the last few days and also it did make me smile that people were wondering whether it was a crazy situation that england could be relegated if they didn't score but when their group if they did but that's the jeopardy that you wait for wanted in the pairs to be working is giving a lot of credit on social media well there was a much nicer love in a friendly match between north african rivals morocco and shoon is year this game taking place in tunisia and a single goal was enough to decide the game in my favor. or the science was still trying to get the upper hand even after the final whistle. change could lead to again as they qualified for next year's africa cup of nations or cricket australia held the ban on three of its senior players but some printed the ball during a match in south africa in march camps in steve smith and vice camps in david

out on two of the best batsmen is is not an ideal thing for any team but even then they have guys specially in the limited overs game who can do damage at any given point of damon. you know you can never underestimate any state in come here to compete against australia the whole demon. you know we definitely will not take anything for granted or the los angeles rams and kansas city chiefs have played out one of the all time great n.f.l. games of the rams beating the chiefs fifty four fifty one is the first time it suits aims and scored more than fifty points in a game also the third highest scoring n.f.l. game of all time chiefs quote about mommy's finished on the losing same despite throwing six touchdowns his rams counterpart just got three of the four touchdowns including a forty yard pass that gerald everett for the decisive score with less than seven minutes on the clock. it was a whirlwind i feel like you know i might need
