shock and anger over trumped support for riyadh as u.s. senate and seek an investigation into mohammed bin sound man's role. tens of thousands of children dying in yemen and save the children says the deaths are entirely preventable. with the sport it's four years until qatar kicks off the twenty twenty two world cup the first winter hosts will take a look at the progress made for football's showpiece of a. trail of american values that's how u.s. politicians have described donald trump's refusal to hold saudi arabia accountable for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi the president and intelligence agency which concluded. the sat saudi crown prince ordered the killing he says mohammed
1:02 pm
bin solomon's role may never be fully know the president's response has provoked strong responses from both sides of the aisle the senate foreign relations committee as for an inquiry that specifically looks into the crown prince's role in the matter and turkey says it may push for an international inquiry its foreign minister says there shouldn't be a cover up in order to maintain trade ties with riyadh she have returns he begins our coverage now from washington d.c. . i hear by the way you and i are the white house thanksgiving tradition of the president pardoning a turkey took on a grim significance this year a short time donald trump 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 tweeds don't trump made his argument king solomon
1:03 pm
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 all 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 is so important 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 them a very simple it's america first off the. talks with might bump
1:04 pm
a zero 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 an 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
1:05 pm
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 shihab rattansi al-jazeera washington well president chavez has members of congress afraid to follow a different direction but he will put america's economic and security interests the us more now from mike hanna on the bipartisan pressure on the president to act. 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 with one hundred insolvent the crown prince was responsible for the death of
1:06 pm
jamal khashoggi to get this done they are intent on introducing legislation within congress republican senator lindsey graham says there's a nuff 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 the good relations committee says in this letter to the president that they want him to continue and conclude the simplest occasion 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 bahamas and solomon 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
1:07 pm
now settled that's been denied completely by both republicans and democrats well president tom statement defending the u.s. saudi relationship didn't begin with riyadh instead it concentrated on its regional rival iran in the opening lines president trump cited terror on as an example of how quote the world is a dangerous place he accuses it of being responsible for the war in yemen and of trying to destabilize the middle east. and iran's foreign minister jobbers the reef he issued a swift response on twitter 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 who are also responsible for the california fires perhaps we didn't help break the forests just like the finns do. let's talk to our correspondent tony berkeley he's in istanbul outside the saudi consulate where of course is he knows crime was actually committed so turks must be
1:08 pm
somewhat disappointed in the presidential statement but must be very heartened by what seems to be a growing attitude among u.s. members of congress to pursue the investigation against the crown prince. yes i think the turks now are in this difficult position they want this pursuit of justice to carry on they feel they probably can't do it on their own behalf they need some international body maybe the u.n. for example because it's quite clear the u.s. is not going to push saudi arabia on this matter the response so it's been rather muted i think officially in public the most we've heard is the deputy leader of the ruling a k party mr pneumococcal most and he said that mr president's statement was comical but that's the closest we have got i mean the turks do find themselves in a difficult position here because while on the one hand they they want to pursue justice it's a moral responsibility for them they also want to metate maintain and improve relations both in washington and with saudi arabia but they are
1:09 pm
a little bit concerned now they're looking focusing more on finding the perpetrators and finding out who was behind the murder a mystical saji their very disappointed at the response from the saudis for example they feel that this joint investigation is not going anywhere they don't feel the saudis are cooperating they've asked for additional information that if it wasn't a saudi crown prince then who was it they want to know more about the people they're holding on a standing trial or accused of the murder of mr karzai they want to be able to interview them and they also want to know what happened to mr soldier's body because according to the saudis there was a local collaborator involved in disposing of his the body they want to know who this collaborator was they want more information considering they've been holding these people for about a month now it's surprising that there's no information whatsoever coming from the saudis side and tony is it your impression that the turks actually have more information up their sleeve and do they have what the what might be described as
1:10 pm
the the smoking gun. that's the big question now this information has been released through the turkish media the turkish government been very very careful not to name anyone precisely they didn't name the crown prince they did say that this rested very much on the doorstep of the saudi royal court but it did not involve king solomon but other than that they haven't named anyone we are being told that perhaps there is more taped evidence but it's interesting to see that a couple of events in the last couple of days one the turkish foreign minister he visited might pompei or the u.s. secretary of state no comments was made by the turkish foreign minister after that there was a statement by the saudi foreign minister. and he said that ankara had accepted it was not the crown prince that has not been rebutted by ankara so there are things going on behind the scenes still but ultimately the pursuit will be of
1:11 pm
justice but it is interesting that when mike pompei o said it's a mean and nasty world well what happened here behind me a lot over the second was exactly that mean and nasty and the fear is that the real culprits behind this will not be held accountable to anybody live in istanbul thank you well now i can speak to us monserrat is a research director at the anchor institute and he used to be an advisor to the turkish prime minister he's joining us live now from the turkish capital ankara thank you very much indeed i'm just wondering it seems very much as though this presidential statement and the position generally taken by washington while the turkish foreign minister is actually in town appearing for a photo op at least with the u.s. secretary of state pompei or that this is a personal snub being issued by the administration to the turkish government. and if there is open gap between the american and turkish positions door not all meetings and means are exhausted between the relations regarding the case but it is
1:12 pm
so open regarding you know there is a very huge gap between washington's anchor his position on the issue whenever when you are looking at the state department's briefing regarding the meeting with mr pompei or mr cho sure it wouldn't just mentioning just that bit about answer questions about just they priority is much more different than the turkish case but turkey is. exactly the. case because it has a potential to deteriorate its relations with the saudi arabia and this is so important thing because if this case won't be revealed the facts won't be revealed then stumble won't be as safe have been for the all people coming from all around the world and that is that this case will be sold in any way and the international new choir is also an important but what is important you know at the end of this month mr trump and mr rudd on will be meeting at g. twenty meeting in argentina and i think we need to wait for this meeting to see
1:13 pm
exactly what will happen on these two contracts. is there a real danger now given how long this has been going on for is there a real danger that the turkish campaign if you like for justice is going to run out of steam unless the turkish authorities released the the definitive evidence that links the crime to the crown prince of riyadh there is a real danger that this could just go away. yes there is a potential there is a danger for this but turkey tried to be careful not to really need to cruel so would the kingdom regarding issues the president had on underlined that the responsible is somewhere the from the very high level but he is not the kink responsible is not the king he told this and this for turkey is on the one side just putting the pressure on the case in the sake of the justice and the. to find
1:14 pm
out who is the responsible giving the order behind this horrific crime but only had the site and just its making cooperation with the soul of the auto it is when the prosecutors come to turkey turkey is sharing all the evidences with the saudi authorities but it is trying to not to eliminate the saudi kingdom and i think this is so important not to see this mr case as zero sum game if mom had been so man is responsible and he is held accountable for this then all the relations of the years with turkey and the united states will be burned the way i didn't it is not solved we need to find a way turkey need to find a way in the united states find a way to separate the m.b.'s issue and the relations with this old the kingdom. a middle way should be fine but to reply your question again yes if there is there is a potential for him then that's why i encourage so careful to handle this issue with care and is there also
1:15 pm
a real danger given the kind of delicate path that ankara is trying to pursue on this being very diplomatic not wanting to upset relations with the kingdom of saudi arabia and to keep this in internationalize issue is there a danger that the turkish message if you like is being diluted somewhat is being watered down. if i understood correctly the turkey will push the international inquiry as well and it took you may be left alone this is the danger for turkey turkey shouldn't be left alone to follow this issue if turkey is alone to follow the issue for the international inquiry to decays in the un. system there is there is there's a danger to to lose the momentum for mr crusher to case because time is in favor of seoul the arab year and the united states is just shaping its policies much more in favor of moment missile man and
1:16 pm
a saudi king the man who family and its relations and you defense contract and that's why there is a danger to lose the momentum for turkey as well and it is it is it is not not an easier thing to keep the momentum high and that's why the international press the international community and the other countries especially the europeans beautician d.d.d. united kingdom french and the german authorities are making some concrete statements on this and that's why this the collects the collective. position is important to keep the momentum by us man sat thank you very much indeed for talking to us. we've got a lot more to come in this hour al-jazeera news hour including the traumatic story of a range of refugees still haunted by her past. tensions along the southern u.s. border as asylum seekers try to reach the united states from mexico and in sports cars of a winter motion to the higher divisions of european football just two years after being recognized as an independent team.

of a u.n. envoy for yemen has arrived in the yemeni capital sanaa to meet who feel leaders in the latest push for political talks to end the civil war his visit comes as aid agencies are warning of an urgent need to reach hundreds of thousands of severely malnourished yemeni children before it's too late to save the children says around eighty five thousand children under the age of five may have died from extrusion hunger since the saudi year coalition began its air campaign the u.n. warns at least fourteen million people are now at risk of famine and it's reckoned four hundred thousand children are now on the brink of severe acute malnutrition mohammed as our correspondent he's talking to us live from nearby djibouti and
1:18 pm
mohammed first of all let's talk about the political element to this crisis that is affecting yemen and that is that martin griffiths the u.n. special representative is in sana'a to talk to the hooty leaders there at a time when there seems to be an upsurge in fighting. yes indeed martin what he is seeking is a farm home a month from the whole feast to a broader. promise so far is the firing of ballistic missiles and drawn out against. the united arab emirates on their allies on the ground the pro-government alliance. translated to the guns still happening particularly in the crucial port of the day which is a lifeline for millions of yemenis who need vital that's is coming through the ports the fighters so far have not given any indication whether there will be.
1:19 pm
seizing fire what they're saying is the. two if the. ready for peace is what they say what griffith international community as a whole is seeking is a pause in the fighting with time to talks and a negotiated agreement yemen is peaceful run by a transitional government because ultimately of course is only the end of hostilities that is going to improve the life chances of the people of yemen and save the children of come out with a report when even more devastating. yes indeed and what the children say is that this is not all this is what they have managed to get in the circumstances existing in yemen because many. unreported many people who know access to medical

care and the fighting that is going on especially in the port of the day the croods in and around the city that is making it very difficult for the delivery of aid is only exacerbating the. unfolding in yemen one which the united nations calls the world's last humanitarian crisis here's a look at some of the stories of some of the people affected by this crisis. kushal to solve human swore and not just was hit by the bombs and bullets there comic impact has been catastrophic for the general population food supplies have been disrupted prices have gone up and millions of people are now living with the effects of malnutrition. is weak and severely malnourished she's ten months old but weighs just three kilograms the weight over a newly born baby. been sick since she was born hunger and disease have left

tiny and frail she even struggles to cry. mariam is a very sick not only she and her nourished but she also suffers from diarrhoea she's very sick yemen has always been desperately poor but the war husband thinks was while food prices inevitably rise incomes have plummeted many families can barely afford to eat. or have sixteen children two of them suffer severe malnutrition and hung on the living conditions as you know and i'm without any source of income hospitals in hijab province overflowing with sick and starving babies and more arriving every day so i thought there had been one hammer let them but your problem of severe malnutrition is getting worse the consequences of four years of war are clearly visible here from severe malnutrition to deformed needy born babies breastfeeding mothers also suffer from undernourishment. the frequent
1:22 pm
strikes also make it difficult for the people to leave their homes the destruction to roads and bridges has limited the delivery of food and fuel to a population already suffering according to the united nations two point eight million people have been driven from their homes by the bombing its humanitarian chief has warned of a clear and present danger of farming many of the displaced are living in green comes in the middle of the country. when we go to leave hundreds whose deliveries of few and far between. seeing children dying for local food in the middle of the war in yemen is deeply shocking the hundreds of thousands of children perhaps even millions who have more access to proper medical care and as the conflict rages on aid workers say they're finding it more and more difficult to deliver aid to those who need it most they now hope the farm in just like the war that caused it won't

be forgotten to behave without the wall disease or the booty there the world's biggest police force interpol has elected a new president after what's been a bitter contest between russia and western countries on who would lead the organization south korea's kim young jang is taking charge after being strongly endorsed by the u.s. secretary of state well kim replaces mung way who's currently under arrest in china over corruption allegations now moscow had been hoping that its candidate a vice president of interpol and a security veteran is name is alexander shook that he'd get the job but his candidacy candidacy was strongly opposed by both europe and the united states we can speak to john coyne now who's head of shitty chick policing and law enforcement program at the australian city policy institute he's joining us via skype from camera thanks for talking to us that rarely has this. interpol this organization been so consistently in the headlines from from its leader the chinese leader
1:24 pm
disappearing pretty much and then being discovered to have been arrested by the chinese authorities and then to have this controversy surrounding a russian potential candidate this is something that is quite sort of unprecedented isn't it for interpol. getting that a look at most definitely e.'s i think there's some real concerns with each of. the main issue was really a hot blood will organize i should that is fighting to reinvent itself in the twenty first century and it realistically also for the challenge of it also but the challenge of the h.r.t. . ija policies rate notices the pursuit distance right i was going to add to her name outside of the in john le carré novels and that was in interpol actually due today but i think there are really two very important things that number one
1:25 pm
is it's great now to system which is essential like at international risk war and the second one is a runs an incredibly important system called twenty four seven which provides a secure communication between the various one that are not to your member states and between each other no laz the secure transmission of police intelligence information between the stakeholders so it plays a really important role but what really for now matinees you know wade is interpol going next in the twenty first century is that enough for a multilateral organizations right and what about the the south korean new elected president then kim jong yang i mean he's a compromise candidate is he the man to to be rebooting this organization to take it forward look i think president kim is excellent selection under the situation under the circumstances that we are facing but he's of course
1:26 pm
a conservative his conservative approach to learn foresman which means that he's unlikely to be continuing on some of the push that president may had been doing to reform egypt. and to change its role into the i guess a more strategically focused capability. right and given that most intelligence agencies certainly in the west identify cyber security as being the main priority in terms of national security is this the way forward for interpol interpol will have to deal with the digital threats these days look i think it's going to have to deal with and account for it not to deal with this cyber forum and the challenge of course is finally where is the sweet spot for policing in egypt. and there's certainly some some suggestions that that could be focused on the issue of so i think roy it will cost the country creatively challenging now that we see certainly

1:32 pm
a controversial plan to repatriate them to me and ma failed many of the ranger refugees in cox's bazaar say they're too afraid to go back to me and my almost three quarters of a million people fled the northern rock state last year after a brutal crackdown by mia miles military at least six thousand seven hundred range of were killed in the violence within a month of the crackdown june has a story of one woman who survived the horrors. refugee. the scars may be healing but the pain is constant. point about i'm not even i am not if i were there my husband was shot and killed three of my children had their throat slit and then they hacked their bodies to pieces left one of them will say you know well mom taz recalls how in august two thousand and seventeen being moore's military attacked her village of tula tolly
1:33 pm
rights groups called it a massacre that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians after being raped says she was locked in a house that was set on fire she shows me the burns she sustained before managing to escape with her sole surviving child eight year old razia for whom these marks from a machete serve as a reminder of the kind of trauma people three times her age would have trouble processing and could therefore indicate would be nikki we're getting a little what did our children do to them. but i don't know how devoted a. lot of their to how the why did the military attack and kill them how can anyone expect us to go back there. when taz asks that question because of a much criticized 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
1:34 pm
prospect of returning to me and more in august a u.n. fact finding mission accuse top military leaders and me and mar 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 as 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 out of them are the only one 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 back we wouldn't go because of how much we were persecuted. resolve it seems conquering despair even though the sorrow will never go away. here in the studio with me is mohammed he's just back from cox's bazaar in bangladesh and we just saw that incredibly poignant story of a woman and the suffering that she has endured she asked you at one point for
1:35 pm
more help from the international community what sort of help to see and this is what the rich in culture is bizarre actually need from the international community martine what we've heard more and more from refugees the past couple of months when we've gone from reporting trips is they would like to see the international criminal court step in they were heartened to hear that there was that u.n. fact finding mission recommended the charges of genocide be brought against top military officials and men more but they also are aware that it could take years possibly even decades for some kind of action to actually be taken going forward so they would really like to see people step in and for those who committed these atrocities in myanmar to be held to account so justice as you point out is not going to be immediate is it in the immediate sense this repatriation deal that seems hastily arranged the ill advised that's being put on the back burner now but what is the status then all of these desperate people i mean is their immediate
1:36 pm
future to remain in bangladesh which of course i mean perhaps who can talk about later is is posing a huge burden on the authorities in bangladesh oh is there any chance of them and you kind of have to break this down because there are separate issues on the one hand bangladesh has been exceedingly generous toward this population of over seven hundred thousand ranger refugees that fled me and more in the past year and are now housed in these you know really terrible makeshift refugee camps inside of bangladesh this deal that we've been talking about so much in the past week was really destined to fail the reason for that is because it did not have the blessing of the united nations you just had a bilateral deal that was agreed to very hastily between the governments of bangladesh and myanmar that for their own political reasons needed to try to see this happen now in bangladesh the country is polarized you have many people in the . country that support the rebels are refugees that want to ensure that they are safe and you have many people there that want to see them return and don't want them to be there for decades to come because of that and because you have the specter of elections looming hoped probably this next month you have
1:37 pm
a government that is saying we are going to ensure that this process begins but there is no safe mechanism that has been set up yet that would ensure their safety and another thing we're going to refugees will tell you is even if they go back to their land have been taken their villages have been destroyed and they still have no guarantee that they will get citizenship and under this ill fated deal i mean what sort of assurances were given by the government to receive these people back not only did the government of myanmar not give assurances not only did you leave was the u.n. special repertoire of human rights in myanmar come out from the against it and dozens of other aid agencies and you want to lead agencies came out against it but also you have reports that atrocities are still being committed inside me and more that the hundreds of thousands of or hinder that remain there are potentially in internment camps that they are still be having atrocities committed against them and the government of myanmar is not doing anything to safeguard their rights or to promise that their rights will be safeguarded for anybody who returns really

a with more to come summer fleeing violence many of them poverty but a further attempt to stop them has failed from now a proclamation from president trump to stop those who cross illegally rather than the points of entry from asking for a sign of a federal judge blocked his attempt temporarily this is important because what many people try and do is get over the fence and then as soon as they touch u.s. soil hand themselves in to authorities and ask for asylum stopping that may be one less legal avenue for them but now temporarily it's been opened up again many in the caravan already trying to ask for asylum through the point of entry anyway but those that we spoke to in the caravans makeshift camp were simply unaware of the legal fight around the and 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
1:40 pm
here. if we cross over in peace i think things will be ok but if we go causing problems they're going to hit us and deport us. 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 further john home and now does it a tea partier. now italy's far right government has ordered the seizure of the migrant rescue ship the aquarius is accusing it of illegally dumping what it calls toxic waste now the vessel which was run by doctors without borders is start the port in the french city of must say the charity denies any wrongdoing and says it's really is trying to criminalize humanitarian missions that's a ship outlet reports. italian magistrates say this video shows potentially toxic waste being offloaded from the aquarius rescue ship in the sicilian port of catan
