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 crown prince mohammed bin salman vigorously denying any knowledge of the planning and execution of the murder of mr. 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 i'm going to don't 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 for journalists' 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 so and innocent man brutally slain deserves better as does the cause of truth justice and human rights in this failure of leadership from president trump it now falls to congress to stand up for america's true values and lasting 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 are 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 has greeted its arguments and ultimate position on the khashoggi killing she ever time to see al-jazeera washington. reaction to trump's comments was quick and scathing 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 jamal khashoggi is 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 pompei as response to on twitter samantha power wrote it is

a mean and nasty world trump siding with the meanest and nastiest out there deterred if they see see putin or assassin m.b.'s will leave the world even nastier this statement is a green light for would be murderers and countries that have things trump thinks we need republican and democratic leaders of the senate foreign relations committee are demanding a second investigation they want it to focus specifically on the crown prince to determine whether he's carried out a gross violation of human rights mike hanna has the latest from washington d.c. . president trump's comments appear to have infuriated congress his implication that the investigation is now over as far as he is concerned that it's business as usual with saudi arabia has certainly inflamed feelings among both democrats and republicans on the hill it's been made very clear that congress is going to take whatever steps it can to get to the bottom of the matter to find out once and for

all whether one hundred insolvent the crown prince was responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi to get this done they are intent on introducing legislation within congress republican senator lindsey graham says this and enough bipartisan support within congress to get this legislation through very quickly in addition the senate foreign relations committee has sent another letter to president trump reminding him that it had already invoked the global magnitsky act which accounts for accountability for human rights abuses anywhere in the world good relations committee says in this letter to the president that they want him to continue and conclude this investigation and they add in the wake of the recent events they want him to make a definite finding on whether or not the crown prince mohammed bin selman was responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi so certainly pressure is ramping up

from congress and any thought that president trump might have that the matter is now settled that's been denied completely by both republicans and democrats turkey says it may seek a formal u.n. inquiry into which of g.'s death foreign minister move luto shaul who says it's not satisfied with the level of cooperation from riyadh to any birth lee is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul so they're not satisfied with the level of cooperation from we are watching as do they have now been tony. well the mention of going to the united nations and asking for an independent investigation whether or not that will happen remains to be seen and what extra evidence they can give to change the situation is something that remains to be seen as well they've been relying purely on these audiotapes which have been leaked to the media here they've also been given to the various security services around the world these are

the ones that present time didn't want to listen to because they were too horrible but apart from that what can be done turkey finds itself in a difficult position it wants to improve relations with washington it wants to maintain good relations with riyadh but it does say and the bottom line is this has been a murder it's a criminal offense and they have a responsibility to pursue it they have been complaining the saudis who entered into a joint investigation on this murder have not been helping out a great deal they point out in detail about the fact that even though the saudis are holding eleven people they say they've charged the turks have had no access to these people they know no additional information they don't know names furthermore they say that if it was not the crown prince in saudi arabia or someone higher up who was it they want to name they want information they want something some lead to go on and they've also asked about where mr because soldiers borg body ended up there's speculation that it was handed over according to the saudis to a coordinator here collaborator in turkey if so they want to know who that

collaborator was where the body parts ended so they're very unhappy with the level of help that the saudi authorities are giving they're suspicious as to why this is happening and they fear that perhaps these whole things are going to be pushed under the carpet and totally forgotten all right thanks so much tony berkeley there outside the consulate in istanbul on mehmet challenge is the political news editor a daily thought newspaper and joins us now from their offices in istanbul good to have you with us now turkish line coming out today is how disappointed they are in the level of cooperation from riyadh been known for a while the level of cooperation from riyadh was today's statement really triggered by disappointment in the trump reaction. well i think there is a disappointment from before on what's going on statements coming from riyadh and also there's i mean who isn't disappointed on the statement that coming from trump administration and turkey wants to get us an answer that will satisfy not just

the investigators but also the international community because this is now or and issue that is you know an international issue turkey do want turkey does want to keep good relations with the united states and saudi arabia however it wants to maintain these relations based on a principled foreign policy so i think this is something that. foreign minister said last night saying that yes this we do have good relations with saudi people we have no problem with. the king the king in riyadh but turkey also wants to maintain a principled position when it comes to the brutal murder of. incident. aside from that i mean i had let me tell you this question what was it that the turks perhaps were hoping the u.s. president would say or do what ultimately does tookie want to see what sort of

action in order for it to be satisfied that this is not going to be swept under the carpet well i mean the ultimate question that needs to be answered is who is the executive decision maker in this and this incident we haven't answered that question. turkey does not have an answer to that because it is in riyadh and at this point turkey is seeking the answer is that turkey is not the one that has us are all low turkey does have evidence with regards to who could be the possible this issue maker in this incident and this is this week i think is very crucial with regards to do is sit because now the trunk has pushed everything under the carpet trumpet ministries and turkey is in a position to release some other evidence or some other political statements with regards to density and so this week is i think very crucial but i think the one thing though we we need to acknowledge trump is against the united states at this

point when it comes to the question of g.-d's what he has to do now then if trump is. high thing many see it in the u.s. congress is not taking a tough enough line. what can an international inquiry is at this point i think something that turkey you will push for because it does not see this as a bilateral issue turkey does not see this as this issue between turkey and saudi arabia and internationally quite inquiry is now and sensitive because if the international community is not pushing or press ring president for his own for yosh only quality ma'am it cannot be launched without the support of the u.s. i.e. the white house donald trump. i think although the effect would be different i think you can still push that i mean to keep maintaining its present form posy choke you will see the end cers you know simply who is the decision maker in this

is that the answer turkey is seeking and turkey will do what it takes to get the sensor because you know aside from the brutal murder this is an incident that happened in turkish borders so does not want to let this go and needs to carry it is to an international institution so that it can actually demand answers through an international mechanism so and un depend un inquiry could be an option other than that i mean you will i'm sure there are considering and waving and assessing what could be done in the near future and what sort of preparations are required when it comes to a legal inquiry into the incident at an international level otherwise you know i mean this will go this will turn into a back and forth issue you know between riyadh and onco or between each national committee and riyadh that really needs to nowhere unless there is that unless there is an end mechanism that will hold accountable at an international level i think

it's very unlikely that we will get answers on who was the decision maker in this case and why what was the motive behind this. that you know that led that it happened in a stumble rather than somewhere else we know that dissidents are at risk when it comes to saudi arabia right but the fact that it would be committed in istanbul and at saudi consulate in istanbul i think there is also a political message that was being given to turkey entering does not want to let this go just like trumped it all right mohamed tawfik thanks so much for your analysis. still ahead in al-jazeera the traumatic tale of a hanger refugee still haunted by her agonizing past.

out of there how about the why did the military attack and kill them how can anyone expect us to go back there. when taj asks that question because of a much criticised repatriation deal between me and moore in bangladesh that was set to begin last week it was ultimately delayed but not before causing a huge amount of concern for him to refugees in bangladesh terrified of the prospect of returning to me and more in august a u.n. fact finding mission accuse top military leaders and me and mark a perpetrating a genocide against the rangers in october the head of that fact finding mission went even further saying that the genocide in myanmar is ongoing montez like so many other refugees here wants to know why the international community isn't doing more to help of one thing though she is certain not a member of the island even if they could bring my husband and my children and my parents back from the dead even if they brought back all of them we wouldn't go

those that we spoke to in the caravans makeshift camps were simply unaware of the legal fight around the hazy on the obstacles ahead. but only god knows what's going to happen if we see we can cross will cross if got permits we'll get work here. if we cross over in peace i think things will be ok but if we go causing problems they're going to hitters and deport us and. then you also don't know that trying to escape from crippling poverty back in their homeland doesn't mean they're eligible for asylum in the us they've made it this far just by keeping on going this may be the point when that's not enough to go for john home and now does it or. the french carmaker i know is appointed an interim c.e.o. after the arrest of carlos go and go and detention has been extended by ten days after he was arrested in japan are allegations of financial misconduct he's accused
