e.u. moves to punish rome for breaking the rules with a budget that would push italy deeper into debt. an unfortunate accident that's outside the arabian foreign minister is describing the premeditated killing of a journalist from a shot at their leisure bear has given at the fi an interview to a u.s. network reiterating that the crown prince was not involved the spy the cia's assessment that he ordered the murder and the foreign minister also said there's no question of mohammed bin solomon being sidelined the leadership of sundry been presented in the king in the province is a red line for the saudi man or woman the country is totally supportive of them to condemn the saudi arabia is committed to the vision that our leaders have put us in terms of vision twenty thirteen in terms of moving along the path of reform

senators in the us are calling for an inquiry into the saudi crown prince's role in her murder that's the spy president from statement on tuesday that there would be no further action taken against riyadh he also cast doubt on the cia's conclusions say mohamed bin some man's role may never be fully known and stressing his backing for saudi arabia that's angered politicians on both sides of the aisle on the turd though donald trump kept up his phrase and support for saudi arabia on wednesday saying it helped keep oil prices low by pumping more oil surprises don't spike above one hundred dollars a barrel trump tweeted oil prices getting lower great like a big tax cut for america and the world enjoy fifty four dollars that was just eighty two dollars thank you to saudi arabia but let's go lower. let's get more now from mike hanna in washington d.c. ok so there is the president very much like he has really done from the start but

you know reiterating his support for saudi arabia but what about other members of the government here is the fence secretary james mattis for example he's been speaking out about the shoji case what did he have to say well it seems that all members of the administration are circling the wagons so to speak the secretary of state my composure came out of the statement in support of the president in the past twenty four hours and in the course of today the defense secretary james mattis speaking off the camera to a group of reporters said that sometimes you don't choose who you do business with a president cannot always choose the partner to do business with you then went on to say that it would not be possible to deal with the ongoing war in yemen with saudi arabia implying that the strategic relationship with saudi arabia very important for a number of reasons echoing his president and one level but also adding that other

reason about to engage with them means a better way to. organize the conduct of the war in yemen so there is a gathering around of cabinet members around president trump basically no one has yet spoken aren't in any opposition that is within his cabinet against that remarkable statement well beyond the cabinet what action do you think is congress likely to take. congress has a lot of possibilities we have heard from republican senator lindsey graham saying he's convinced there's enough bipartisan support within congress to get through legislation in forcing sanctions on saudi arabia and enforcing sanctions on the crown prince himself if possible so if that movement congress very angry all statements from congress have completely rejected president trump's comments they are absolutely adamant that sanctions must be exerted in saudi arabia that action

must be taken against a crown prince directly but there's another avenue of approach as well way back in october the senate foreign relations committee sent the president a letter invoking the global magnitsky act now that provides accountability for human rights abuses the committee has just followed up with another letter to the president saying that in the light of recent developments it wants him to concentrate his investigation into the death on one very important thing did the crown prince mohammed bin solomon kill jamal khashoggi and if so what sanctions are going to be exercised so the committee asking the president to narrow it down there is a legal obligation on the president to do what the committee asked in this particular case though he has one hundred twenty days which would be from october the tenth to do so but lots of moves by congress likely in the week ahead michaela with the latest there on u.s. reaction to this case mike thank you what about reaction from the country where the murder actually took place well there has been no official reaction out of turkey

to trump's use they statement for example but many politicians are angry the deputy chairman of the ruling ak party called the trump statement comical and has accused the u.s. of turning a blind eye to murder tony berkeley has more now from istanbul. president donald trump's statement of support for saudi arabia was perhaps no great shock in turkey but there was derision. yesterday statement is just comical the cia would know not only who killed them but what color the consulate cats were the turkish government has said nothing officially but privately is angered by the u.s. president ignoring a horrific murder because of economic reasons and there are worries this could lead to other governments abandoning human rights if you have a situation in the united states where you have a leader which is hostile to principle if you have a situation that you have an european union where many leaders who were once.

defending human rights principles are now indifferent or silent or abuses taking place for example here in turkey or elsewhere i think this is a very. damaging time for human rights principles amnesty has issued a report about how women activists have been tortured and abused in detention in saudi arabia but without the leverage of a powerful country like the us little is likely to change and without u.s. support it will be difficult for turkey to get answers from saudi arabia about who really ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi turkey's position actually still we need to get an answer or let's say a conclusive answer from this saudi arabia say because most probably. united states the european union. that there will not push this problem and a further to turkey this is not just a political economic issue it's also

a criminal one a murder has been committed and they want to investigate it and solve it but they say that investigation is being hampered by a lack of saudi cooperation. the turks are demanding details about the day mr kosofsky was murdered they were asked the saudis who if not the crown prince gave the order they want the man accused tried in a turkish court and they want to know where mr remains are but tookie can't force this alone it has to be an in international investigation under the powers of the un secretary-general. so it has to be an investigation where there is an experienced investigative team with the power to go anywhere they need to go to interview witnesses to interview suspects. and only in nice circumstances i think genuine justice be possible. this murder has gone from the realms of a tragic hollywood movie script to a political chess game it may be that with the help of donald trump saudi arabia

has the advantage tony berkely al-jazeera istanbul. the u.s. defense minister says saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have seized offensive operations around yemen's vital port city of the data this after the u.n. special envoy to yemen met who are the leaders in the capital sanaa martin griffiths has been discussing peace talks to take place in sweden only next month the iran backed rebels announced this week they were ready for a broader ceasefire if the saudi led coalition wants peace well but save the children estimates that nearly eighty five thousand children under five have died from extreme hunger or disease since the civil war broke out in yemen in two thousand and fifteen the aid group says continued fighting is making it hard to get help to those who are still alive mohammed of the reports now

from neighboring djibouti. kushal to solve human swore and not just by the bombs and bullets their 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 is 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 has made things was while food prices inevitably rice 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 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

camps in the middle of the country surviving on meagre relief hundreds whose deliveries of few and far between. seeing children dying for lack of food in the middle of the war in yemen is deeply shocking the hundreds of thousands of children perhaps even millions who have not 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 that the farm in just like the war that caused it won't be forgotten to behave like the wall does it or the booty the british foreign secretary has warned there will be serious diplomatic consequences for the u.s. after it sentenced a british man to life in prison thirty one year old matthew hedges has been convicted of spying for the british government that doctoral student was arrested in device airport six months ago after a two week research trip paul brennan reports. thirty one year old matthew hedges

was arrested at dubai airport at the end of a two week research trip as part of his ph d. on the country's security policies last month a court in abu dhabi granted him conditional bail raising hopes he might soon be cleared of all charges but the sentence of life imprisonment is a massive blow to those expectations this only does think that you know it is a very dangerous place in the already known the u.a.e. is dangerous for journalists for activists for any critics of any sort and so now we also know it is absolutely dangerous for academics want to conduct research in the country as well matthew's wife daniella to hard has said in a statement i am in complete shock and i don't know what to do matthew is innocent the british government must take a stand now for matthew they say that the u.a.e. is an ally but the overwhelmingly arbitrary handling of math case indicates a scarily different reality matthew she said was shaking when he heard the verdict

the u.a.e. authorities should feel ashamed for such an obvious injustice it's only ten days since the british foreign secretary met the crown prince in abu dhabi and personally discussed matthew had his case it seems to have had no impact on the outcome in an indication of the level of concern here at the u.k. foreign office the foreign secretary jeremy hunt first issued a statement expressing his deep shock at the sentence issued on matthew hedges but he then followed it up with a post on social media which said the following matthew hedges news extremely worrying we have seen no evidence to back up the charges against him the f c o will do all we can to get him home and i will meet his wife daniella tomorrow thursday the u.a.e. claim to be a friend and ally.
