a turkey took on a grim significance this year a short time earlier donald trump and made it clear he was giving the saudi crown prince a pass in the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in an eight paragraph statement filled with the rhetorical flourishes the exclamation marks and slogans characteristic of the president's tweets don't trump made his argument king solomon and crown prince mohammed bin salman vigorously denying any knowledge of the planning and execution of the murder of mr khashoggi our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information but it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic events maybe he did and maybe he didn't our relationship is with the kingdom of saudi arabia donald trump went on they have been a great ally in our very important fight against iran the united states intends to remain a steadfast partner of saudi arabia to ensure the interests of our country israel and all other partners in the region very simply it is called america first basically he was saying that our relationship as saudi arabia solve porn really

doesn't matter later in the day mr trump was asked about his staunch support for the saudis 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 after talks with my pump a.o. in washington the turkish foreign minister also discussed the complexity of his nation's relations with saudi arabia making it clear that ankara did not want to sabotage those links but he added this we know well that the team who came to stumble did not come because they wanted to but they came at the request of somebody we know though that this person is not the king there was a withering response from the washington post who wrote four hundred list rights groups president trump is correct in saying the world is a very dangerous place the washington post said in a statement his surrender to the state ordered murder will only make it more also an innocent man brutally slain deserves better as does the cause of truth justice and human. it's in this failure of leadership from president trump it now falls to

congress to stand up for america's true values and loss to interests the committee to protect journalists tweeted this if you boil the white house statement down to its essence president trump has just asserted that if you do enough business with the us you're free to murder journalists that's an appalling message to send to saudi arabia and the world but it seems the trumpet ministration has made a decision not to be concerned by the ridicule and disbelief that is greeted its arguments and ultimate position on the khashoggi killing she ever turns the old zero washington on mike hanna joins us live now from washington so mike an astonishing statement there from president trump what more did he have to say well indeed it was astonishing indeed since the beginning of this affair since the murder of jamal khashoggi president trump has made very clear that he is reluctant to impose sanctions against saudi arabia and he's particularly reluctant to impose any form of sanction against the crown prince mohammed bin selman this all came to

a head today where he made this absolutely clear in president trump's mind that appears the investigation is all but over once again dismissing what he heard from his intelligence agencies basically making very clear that whether or not the crown prince murdered jamal khashoggi it doesn't matter to him what does matter to him is the ongoing economic relationship with saudi arabia and the ongoing strategic importance of saudi arabia to the trump administration's various strategies in particular the operation against iran and of course president trumps a long heralded middle east peace initiative so basically president trump is saying as we heard there i simply don't care i want to keep this relationship the way it is let's just move on. so it's a me the world out there. in 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 who are traveling and working doing business in the middle east it is the president's obligation indeed the state department's duty as well to ensure that we have up policies that further the america 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 a my what's been the reaction then from the u.s. congress on this. well the reaction has been absolutely furious former trump supporter in the senate lindsey graham as made very clear that he's going to take further action he said that the is enough bipartisan support in the senate to

apply sanctions against saudi arabia with the including as he put it appropriate members of the saudi royal family you've had from the independent senator bernie sanders a statement that next week he will move in the senate to introduce legislation providing sanctions in saudi arabia what you've also heard as well is another letter from the senate foreign relations committee asking president trump to carry out an investigation into who killed jamal khashoggi and to come to a conclusion this in term of a letter that was sent to the president back in october the tenth invoking the global magnitsky act which provides for accountability for human rights abuses so right across the board from republican from democrat congress has made it absolutely clear it is does not consider the matter as over it will continue to press for sanctions against saudi arabia and possibly sanctions or some kind of

accountability for the crown prince himself mike thanks for that mike hanna live for us in washington. our reaction to trump's comments was quick and scathing 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. death no one in saudi arabia most especially the crown prince should escape accountability for such a heinous act the 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 to tear to putin or assassin n.b.s. will leave the world even nastier this statement is a green light for would be murderous in countries that have things trump thinks we need iran's foreign minister javid zarif as also hit out of the us president 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 a douglas sloan is a democratic strategist and senior principle consultant with the national capital strategy group he joins us now on skype from washington thanks very much for being with us so what do you think the response from this from congress should be. well i think that congress needs to step forward and know that they had to send out a. decree or demand. for more information from the trumpet ministration and also you know the

way the united states is. congress in the legislative branch is supposed to operate as a check on the executive branch and when the executive branch i.e. the white house is doing something that may be unconstitutional or untoward li warming damage the united states and for relations its own congress to step up so at this point you know you really like to see congress demand sanctions against saudi arabia and really push for the white house to issue sanctions against this country not just for the assassination of the show he but also for the horrible human detached of bees humanitarian catastrophes that we're seeing in yemen you know so we're really looking forward to connors to step up in terms of for by i ding in effect

a check on the office of the executive. and it did it does seem pretty clear that the president and his and his administration we heard it as well from the secretary of state might pompei on this that they are trying to to draw a line under they sin and say this is this is our position and that's the way it is if they are they going to allow they're going to be allowed to to do that. well. you know the troop administration has really tested the boundaries of our constitution. and of the system of checks and balances that was put forward for others. they are they again yes he did send out my bail to try to hold a lie regardless the united states not having any additional actions against saudi arabia but ultimately this is

a country of rules this is a country the oldest constitutional republic on the planet so i'm confident and even even his republican allies are having a hard time finding any type of moral ground on which you support president trump in this position because surely not only as a journalist but a u.s. resident you simply cannot allow foreign countries to willfully assassinate journalists u.s. journalists at will in since a horrible message so i fully expect congress to assert its authority in terms of pressing the administration to move forward what one terms of fish will actually do in saudi arabia what do you say to those who argue that

the president didn't dismiss that the idea the idea that crown prince mohammed bin said a man and man may have known about the killing and they they have seized on that as as as proof that he's not trying to protect the crown prince here. well it's statement. during true statement he didn't seem to really take it seriously he was trying to find a way to leave avenue of doubt in plant seeds of doubt he said well maybe he did maybe we didn't you know maybe the crowd prisoners involved maybe wasn't we'll never know when the cia and our intelligence agencies came out with a statement of italy saying that the crown prince did order this assassination so it's quite clear. so i don't see how really has the standing to be able to again come out against our intelligence agency because

life rightly he's been doing that ever since the moment he was elected were guarding all collusion saying that there was no it appears by the russians and hillary clinton in raising her emails and being guilty of corruption this all lies in the base of the reports given to us by u.s. intelligence agencies so trump has really been at war with the us intelligence agencies since he was elected so i really don't see that being a tunable position for president shrub could just make me douglas sloan joining staff from washington thanks very much thank you for having. attorney bert lee has the latest now from is stan ball. mr chairman all of the turkish foreign minister was speaking after the president trumped statement and after meeting with mike pompei o b and the 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. a new report by amnesty international has accused saudi arabia of torturing and sexually assaulting women's rights activists held in detention they were violated by men wearing face masks other detainees were flogged and electrocuted amnesties middle east research director says only a few weeks after the ruthless killing of jamal khashoggi these shocking reports of torture sexual harassment and other forms of treatment if verified expose further human rights violations by the saudi authorities plenty more ahead on the news out of the traumatic tale of a royal hinge a refugee still formed by her past. another day of protests in south africa as
