in broadcasting union suddenly i see from the outside. ministry. what's really going on. inside. each and ray and i were on the roof when we came on the fire. i was in the lobby on equasym militia man with a sword try to attack the journalist. we filed our last report. in. the field. the next morning we were forced to leave the indonesian military came to town put us on two trucks and drove us to the airport. we were moved from one of the largest international stories at the time. we were

devastated angry frustrated it was a horrible empty feeling for andrea to be denied the ability to cover the event that we all knew. we feared for the lives of many and it was almost no one left to tell the world. we were forced to cover the story from afar. and the e.b.u. meanwhile found a way to get journalists back to dili as soon as australian peacekeepers arrived word got out that the european broadcasting your new maybe you had charted and they managed to get approvals to land an aircraft in dili. once the airport had been secured because we knew viewers coming in we set up a table. of the mandarin oriental journalists shut up put their names and. details. and pay full amount of this one way trip to east timor

come to the mandarin oriental hotel poolside will be someone there to meet you the cost is that i think a thousand u.s. dollars for this one way trip you're not coming back you get on that aircraft you're getting off at the other end so it was not chips at all. or even you would i describe myself like i really would pay this much i may just like to get to hell one way ticket to hell and then pass a law student this showed up with his friend. to start a conversation from me. he struck me as a very friendly warm hearted kind of person i want to be a problem i want to meet him that way ok sure and he wrote down this name and this sums your voice from somebody you know yeah they speak very fluent in bahasa and so i had to blanda oh ok so from all

and and they were standard films very friendly very. interactive and. from what i remember jane you just met there never met him before never knew him before and he just like. everyone clicked with sam or you must that kind of man young smart. he and i were part of a small group of dutch journalist based in jakarta friends who she had stories and travel around the country we love so much and it was the financial times correspondent and was as unlikely as me to become a war correspondent so quickly i need to understand more about the people who killed him. these are the remains of battalion seven four five the compound where they were based but also where they started their bloody retreat. people were very very much afraid of seven four five in the last palace they know

that these soldiers. were pretty violent. along my demeanor government. be the. america. this was also not the only camp they had many more in this in this little town basically this town was dominated by seven four five. the people here were always reminded of the indonesian presence because of this this battalion. you can actually see seven four five seven. four. five. it's still here. they try to remove it but it didn't really work. they had of america back with

a bigger better. monitor back to barrow. on. goggled and i don't think i'm going to listen to. any. yacub though unlikely that they'll get on medical issues that i'm a goblin but on a low caliber alum reffin netiquette model and when they come the moment of seeing your ensign and i get those at the last caliber alarms other than that but if i come i could just ask i've got an imbalance and then i say more than one and then they don't issue. mamoun what i had mimics and i had. an english error. on the morning of september nineteenth one thousand nine hundred ninety seven for fine departed last policy and barked under drily.

as they began. they headed. towards the beach at. the departure point of the battalion most of the soldiers left east timor back to indonesia right here. and the supply route for them kept their main supply. and they didn't want anyone to have any profit from those supply so they destroyed everything. and it was a group of one hundred twenty members who are not allowed to go on the boats but they had to go back to indonesia and they had to bring back the vehicles so sixty trucks and thirty motorbikes. from here and one in fourteen destroy and kill everything you find.

at the. ready. this is. an italian members who hadn't set sail those charts which were turning to come for you to indonesia. in lao to for the night. they left early on the morning of september twentieth the orange glow of everything that had satellite filling this guy. their route was now to the west following the coastal road along the northern shore of east timor towards laga once there they came down for another night at one of their supply base. on the morning

of september twenty first one thousand nine hundred nine. with our tickets bought at the man from g.e. on order the e.b.u. flight in jack after eager to return to the east timor forced to leave but nervous and scared but what we would fight. for sites from the plane confirmed all worst fears destruction on a scale we could not even have imagined being ready dos also one of the hardest stories we would ever have to cover. at the same time as we had set off on a journey to help the soldiers of battalion seven four five ready themselves for day a departure from lag on a journey of a very different intent. what was to become a very dark day began here with a day that would affect so many families not only in east timor. having

set their base alight with the talian departed towards delhi and began a pattern of violence that would continue for the rest of the day but. it wasn't long before the battalion met their first victims that morning. within ten minutes of leaving the base they came across two men on a motorcycle unfortunate enough to be on the same stretch of road at the same time it says two man were killed here by the indonesian military. twenty first of september. one thousand nine hundred ninety. and i know these two guys or two brothers their names were gus and. unbeknown to the battalion the actions were witnessed by seeing me up into a. moment and land at a star the sun. does make the place of new birth the qualities drop but the

bodies. and their message and to give it become known and i think i think if you look. at their own battle isn't my and that doesn't stand a point there. that would develop a balance and a lot of my a lot more don't want to come i had a bad think about ever got the army. and i got in was in my business but then i'm sick and then bang my. dinner as a deal to be reminded doesn't. the meat of a matter dan not going to have a dope legacy at the end. that are not want their way out i think he let em be a one man said about dope busted out of a set are out of the us a bomb and give it out on. it will not be out on eleven out on my sock eleven this is dog bare ass i don't have it on a set at home and then out of a bit of a lot of a solid dome complained of ill ghana was clear.

that of them at the name on it. since then. i mean and. say yes bitterly sad story was the first of many tragedies that occurred on september twenty first one thousand nine hundred ninety. s. i continue to retracing the battalion's journey i met more and more people who had witnessed their violence and was she at with me story after story of grief and sorrow. just outside balco this man showed. the way his uncle was gunned down in the doorway of his own house now abandoned and overgrown. this family lost a daughter a young mother callously shot in both lax she bled to death in front of them on this spot only in her arms her infant child. now teenage school will.

retracing the steps of battalion seven four five was never going to be easy physically or emotionally and i'm finding it disturbing in every way and i know there is more and more to come. and there's still some way to go before i have to deal with how the battalion affected me. i reached the center of back out and like the battalion my straight. everyone at flag the mt town the beautiful market building had already been destroyed years before. by now what had to reach the file until soldiers hiding in the mountains sacking with battalion seven four five was doing. in. saw as usual every day it was common man does this sort of us from the yard is

a set of procedures the same artist does a set in this three of us. of to see vultures but only a cell. that care. a million or farmers that there may not i gather. the president on those plays you know when. they. said oh it will. cover up to get. the oxy acetylene have. done it. but make up but one hundred eighty. so i even want to double check on that one to come up and go up each hour that intimacy got him up what about what. despite the general's way shifts some fellow deal soldiers could take it no longer . they hid in the land next to this bridge and it was here that the battalion met with the only resistance they were to face that day there was a shoot out of around two hours between the indonesian soldiers and the fall until

the fight us not of the indonesian soldiers but four members of al until they got killed and then the indonesian battalion moved on and killed more people on the other side. having survived to fell into ambush the battalion struck again just beyond the bridge. a young man with his friends unaware of the danger return to his village to collect supplies. his own just in time told me what happened. more shocking a night out i imagine. adding going on in mountain man and through the lobby. out that show that i'm wanting to eat nothing i'm a medic that doolittle. and a good deal. but how does she need to get the new going on at pin data.

a higher power was a table of the roads outreach very object and security had completely fallen apart delhi airport was eerie when we came in at the same time as aircraft that is training in peacekeeping forces the f one building was deserted and partially destroyed there were no formalities no security checks. nor was there any transport not a traditional kind anyway. we managed to flag down a cattle truck and i can remember sander standing at the front of the of the tip with his head up above looking down the highway the australian peacekeepers that set up in one of the beachfront hotels in dili the ring didn't steal that made the headquarters in the main hotel which is called the tourist my hotel which is also on the beach we didn't want to get involved with the australian army we didn't want to be controlled in any particular way we wanted to. stay independent because we

hadn't flown in with the australian forces we were prevented from entering into that protected hotel and instead walked down the beach from the promise about three hundred meters to where there was a nunnery an abandoned nunnery. andrea and i also took shelter in this town from that day. this is the first time that our free turn to one thousand nine hundred ninety and it's only partially familiar i've come back to independent east timor many times i have avoided the nunnery for fourteen years i really very strongly remember how afraid we were when we were staying here that what we thought it would be a lot safer. before we actually went to the lead and we experience when we actually got here. it was very unpredictable very eerie you know to the gunshots fires we did we just didn't know we had we had no idea where we had to

look out for. we thought that the indonesians would have left but many of them were still here. but there was no time for fear we were all here to work and that's what we did our story that day was right across the road from the convent where thousands were crammed together on the beach looking for safety going out to interview them i saw this huge collection of. humanity on the beach and went to talk to the refugees and found this young refugee family headed by a sweet young man called i met at a saw. who spoke some english and said well i'd like to use you as an interpreter but we need some transport so they are not there to come near my c.v. i see them with so they might land here those who took from me some of those c.d.'s the more. i saw the interview my problem i'm with what are. the more

likely what i wanted or no we didn't want to go very far we didn't want to go anywhere unsafe particular was our first day in delhi. florindo roger had been driving journalists around dealey on the back of his small motorcycle all day as he dropped one of them off at the turismo sunder was next in line. that other thing was that they said that their beloved is in the. in the quote that elite it without that is silly they put a smiley at that one has. a chorus everyone because there's a muscle mass it i was. getting that without that we did to them oh they must have a mole that is that is a zero idea. having set off earlier than florindo and sander john

chip and i make lateral in such a ramesses car some way you have on the same stretch of road. a would be to first meet a battalion. that's just beyond the city limits reading about off among us because. there was this noise of motorbikes arriving here on the corner and there were about thirty or forty. men on motorbikes who longed. for. the pursuit of them up to. one of the first scenes that it was they attacked my driver i watched some of them my time up coming in. the last. one of them just took his rifle and bashed as i ought with a rifle but. i just saw it. coming down his face like a. snake ready just like a broken neck just hanging down that on his cheek with

a book called to sleep through to those who spoke of water. there was suspicion very suspicious of him because he was with two westerners i said lugh i'm a card you could to get my book. it's. goes down town good luck it's. much too moderate. we were ordered back into the vehicle and driver with his eye still hanging out. to drive the car down the hill. immobile they had said to my thank you mark good to spare my son. would give me some for a while on. the motorbikes swat team stopped in front of us so we could. not go away we couldn't go any further. to. separate out it doesn't look good at those who have come on yes i was up to

come on down below the dose of it i love boomers who medical out of out of the that them i doubt it were left on their mark better luck on tuesday that their thumbs up would be our best buddies so the only two. i said to chip and to to ramos i said. we've got to get out we're dead. last in a lot of. rhetoric up them up for the scum. mother could. get well soon move to those. bloody blew up monasteries with that at the levee i don't mean they came off to us short which you can really look behind we just kept going as fast as we could we could and looking for cover. say that it was a lot of luck. but our society.

but thank god. we didn't know ramos is gone he had just an idea where it was safe used to be and. you know he's he's an east timorese. time he muttered brown eyes that he was safe was beyond people to westerners who took was terrible. at the sort of. john and chip it through didn't unsure of what had happened to and it can add to unsign chill. italian in the meantime continue on its bloody root of destruction. a given. day and i find that this is the deepest into or out of mortal sin more of this is that it says that god out what they are more thought it through a number and it. will grow or a place to move like up and since other. pilot model i reckon i was on the thing he

got out and. when i got a lot of americans who got it edited they did it with the unit. to mark this more. as a given but that if i didn't say that it was in the. goodness a lot of truth. truth. and id or get one thing wrong. it's about the knitting the most of it's in the low to be said. i am not of that there was never been. this apple. but it was a. little something beginning. to medicalize it with. him but. he has got a lot of it it would take them to say develop america restore your lost. hello stuff he says with a look at him what did the little guy at the political atmosphere that obama got it

out of all the what i would end up dead there might be. a little different idea. battered bruised and bleeding in a rainbow made his way to the turismo tell everyone he could what had happened. we heard that santa was missing so it was very confusing. my husband and ray was looking for him next door in a tourist motel while i was still working i had to keep working because i had deadlines and so it was all like really. messed up because we were also really worried about your own safety i mean not much was standing lots of for building still burning you could hear gunshots so it's very very times very eerie situation here. you don't feel learned very safe.

that all night i spent here with my friends with colleagues trying to make phone calls like really you know trying to get through to anyone who would have any news about and. early the following morning all dylan was one of the first journalist to find her out of the convent. to reste guy came up to me sort of talking he said i know where there's this step for the judge we take you. so that we have this long. thirty thirty minute walk out to the corner. and then off the left hand side of the road to a small gully looked up almost a driveway was shuttered all. want to side. it was new it was a very unpleasant you know you get used to seeing bodies in repose if you like

almost with a sense of sort of calm. but i didn't get that often i didn't get that sense. i got a sense of reaching. you know. the only thing i could imagine with. his family friends. fellow journalists. i could hear people crying in the corner. very real moment for everyone. could just as easily be. anybody else in the nunnery that way. as the pot of stew pot.

it's called. let's hear. something else that. i've learned if. you were woken up here by your friends and they burst into the room and then the first thing they said yes we found. and of course then you know and it went into a whirlwind of events. we cried together with the trends trying to grasp what had happened meanwhile painful gruesome things had to be done. and this body which had finally been recovered by those training peacekeepers needed to be identified. my husband andrei help for this task an experience that really traumatized him. jon swain and chip high. we spend the night within metres of sand as body without realizing had been assisted back to delhi by peacekeeping forces

the question was. what happened around us and what happened to ana tatar. with the rising of the sun we heard that a dutch journalist had been killed or a nearby my immediate reaction was that he'd been killed by the same group that attacked us it just made perfect sense this would only marry a photographer. agreed to take me back on his motorbike to. where the whole incident happened that i was going to try and find. ramos we got back to where they attack happened and the old battle taxi was still there with his windows all bashed out. towers flat from but had holes. bargains are. for the food what about multiple. at the mall a said to somebody and suddenly there's a rustling in the bush isn't running running up in his eyes doing. through the ok.

we have to have three on a motorbike. and so he was in the middle grounds around him get him studying. he decided to take him to the australian. military hospital they set up with. at that moment the command of the australian forces general cosgrove right i turned to my grabbed him and said to general you know this is what happened. out of my drivers had his eye bashed up and he needs to urgent medical care. can you authorize it and some sort of way and he turned to his men and he said get this but on the first flight to dollywood. in a strain the essentials received emergency surgery and a sight in his remaining i will say. as for my interpreter and i clatter. of course it was

a devastating thing to happen and. not something new to us or. not something to use a journalist i want to have to go through anyway. our readers who made inquiries about what happened to him and no one could give any real explanation. but later i learned that he had been taken with a group of other prisoners and paraded. up the army base. being beaten up and that was the last anyone ever saw of him. i suspect that any plato like so many of us was ultimately taken to jack that not the capital city of indonesia but to a cliff south of delhi and then troll now. gleeful cynically named by the indonesians because the families of victims taken their toll that it was to jakarta and their loved ones had flat.

i think this journey is for me. looking for some kind of closure and i'm not really sure closing what exactly. the idea when you are late but early on partly my luck to mark a spot. where your brush arguments are. under way at the men's hockey table you're blind to the money barnett's a great time of the messiah and upwards are you to the remaining go mark because. i get up each day what i said you could you know because a. police investigation shows that sandra was most probably still alive and the soldiers picked up his body and directed off the road. that brought him to a piece of scrap and behind a house in shock. the liberty in the back. by the time his body was found his face had been mutilated beyond recognition most probably by his

murderers. or by a by a muscle seven job are. open to you don't want to do this at our last set of my. daughter. so i think that it will stop a. young fella killing. a mummy my. guest must allow equal but i'll put up by the sharia. law so i hung up a big cup of muscle we don't let that get near the. site. so does he have you ever felt responsible for what happened in east timor. oh and that is one of the always is say i told you many many know. this is over youse on the. mutallab made it up but i'm

a jackal. and little for a wicked man she lives lost and the old now miss all on the good he pursues its article. i always thought they're just going to chase us away to make us they want to make us scared they don't want any witnesses. to see you know the plan they had to file and says they had planned all the healings and they succeeded many journalists including me had to leave. and when we came back we thought you know it's over it's better it's safer in. general we're on top was eventually indicted by the special crimes unit in delhi for gross human rights violations but he never appeared in court if i. could be just and to be taken so you're on behalf. of us probably just a bigger your own their own home into a dollar when you're going to be judged on the god of the state policy and state

policy other people should have done so you could when do comes to policy. look he me see everything the world is not blind that it is that told you i've done my job show me the fact that they were instructed by i b b to kill sean. o'keefe. let me hides the past we look for in the future. and the future that we are on two aims for is becoming the president of indonesia in the twenty fourteen election. the former east timor guerrilla leader has become the president of his country and he leaves me with a very warm message. formularies

. and. all that the more. that i'm in the. air let. me start the message start. the event in east timor one of the most traumatic events i experience not only as a journey journalist but as a person. and these events have led to a lot of other events in my life. that are also traumatic so. being here of course has something to do with. it's. my

always belief some kind of spirits are in birds. for some reason and now good to pass and. as i sat at the start of this film this journey was something i could only do alone is a very sad reason for that. everything that happened here was very traumatic for andrei and he decided not to work in conflict areas anymore. not long after he started to suffer from depression it's mine i once at first but then more and more severe. three years ago life became to my trainer and he decided to end it. but as i noted in indonesia in east timor. life there. we

need to accept them as they come. and things do change for the battle so the only he who sold me the ticket at the mandarin oriental hotel my one way ticket to hell is my wife of seven years. seven years she'll kill me when we do it again two thousand and four two thousand and thirty nine years we couldn't ask are we really last. happy with a. family who cares one way one. look at this. and what of me i don't have andrea in my life anymore but i do have a wonderful son a miss. he's thirteen years old yes we conceived them together during that terrible

time indeed. i see him every day the spirit of andrei and move the absolute love of my life. it seems that true beauty can be born of tragedy after all. it wasn't i was a little boy in india my dream was to make bollywood films so five years ago i decided i was finally going to do it one man's quest to realise a lifelong ambition the story i chose was of my own will it and it's done for mission going behind the lens as gautam singh brings his personal story to life. al-jazeera correspondent my own private bollywood.

binny's ping skunks by the time hans. r. is the sun sets in the city of angels. hollow we've got lots of showers the usual popcorn clout there across the amazon basin some very heavy downpours the making their way across northern argentina we have had some flooding here big storms very strong winds look how blustery they sat as well as they rattled across the north of the country now in the process of easing further east was will quieten down over the next couple days or maine or a friday the northeastern corner of argentina will still be rather wet ceased in parts of paraguay pushing i bring to the southeast of brazil as we go wanted to sas day you're quite in the space of wet weather as well at this stage but further north the showers continue unabated scattering the showers to into the caribbean

but not see bad really lots of dry weather lots of bright sunshine coming through temperatures to be getting up around the thirty degree mark cross the region one of two showers into the western side of the caribbean want to see showers through to the eastern side of cabot greater antilles john restyling drive is generally dry too of course a good part of north america we have had some bits and pieces of cloud out also some rain we have that really wet weather just around the west coast still some heavy showers northern parts of california flooding concerns remain here with the possibility of some mudslides eventually will make its way further east. the weather sponsored by cats race. day one of a new era in television news we badly need at this moment leadership and this encampment that we're in today it didn't exist three weeks ago now there's at least twenty thousand or hinder refugees who live here. i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism business first of all that has resigned.

after all a lot of cover ups and the. loved ones some form of closure we saw the syrian army flag. in the city as well as posters of syrian president bashar assad record. a good. hundred meters away from us we're on the frontline but. it must have happened now. this is al jazeera.

hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news live from doha i now team denis coming up in the next sixty minutes turkey's foreign minister says donald trump's response to the murder of. means he'll turn a blind eye to saudi arabia's involvement no matter what. serious side attackers target china's consulate in karate in pakistan three gunman and two policemen are among the dead. the man known as ram the accused of war crimes in central african republic appears before the international criminal court . and on peace summit with all of the day's sport as france and croatia take to the court in this year's davis cup final all of the latest from low for you plus plenty more later in the program.

the u.s. is turning a blind eye and europe is not doing enough that's to his foreign minister a western leaders response to the murder of this jamal khashoggi may have a lot to cover so lou is accusing them of protecting their own interests instead and he specifically cold out u.s. president donald trump for refusing to take action against all those involved. there are a number of questions that have not been answered the whole world wants answers to these questions the explanations given by mr trump saying i will turn a blind eye whatever happens is on acceptable before everything else we have to remember that there was a life lost here well this came just hours of the president made comments once again supporting the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma and he denies he had any past in the. whether he did or whether he did and he denies it vehemently

his father denies it became vehemently the cia doesn't say they did it they do point out certain things and pointing out those things you can conclude that maybe he did or maybe he did but there's no there was no other part of the false reporting because a lot of you said yesterday that they said he did it well they didn't say that he said he might have done it that's a big difference but they are vehemently denying it and the man at the center of it all mohammed bin sound man well he's in the united arab emirates on his first foreign trip since. and lawyers in tunisia of rules the legal case aimed at preventing mohamed bin sound man from visiting the country right we have two correspondents on the story today we have kimberly how good she is in washington d.c. first though let's go to see them cause here lou she's in the turkish capital ankara and sin and it sounds as though there's a mounting amount of frustration then coming from turkish authorities at

a time when speculation grows as to whether president as well actually meets mohamed bin salmen on the sidelines of the g twenty summit due to take place next week in argentina. well yes actually in homage been sandman had some contacts with turkish president bridge of taper down after damascus churches murder and after all those leaks were you know were given to international and turkish media which directly address him as the instructor of this murder he called president are down twice actually to talk some things on the phone and as far as we know in the in the law in their last talk he he he he sound that he would like to meet for instance our job during g. twenty in argentina of course in diplomacy these kinds of requests are not turned down immediately we were hearing that there was such a request but until two days ago it wasn't confirmed by the official side

technically it seems as turkey's for as turkey's foreign minister moshe cho shola has also address today there is no obstacle in meeting for both leaders but yesterday after turkey presidential spokesperson said that we are seeing where there is going to fit and present down schedule or not it might happen and why not so that was the first reaction but then we heard from presidential sources that dawn is not going to meet mohamed but of course that's diplomacy and since they say they're spoken twice on the phone there is no obstacle they may surprise us but for now the last decision from the turkish president's side is that he will not be meeting mohamed cinnamon thank you for that let's go now to our white house correspondent kimberly how get in washington d.c. and kimberly it's not often that a u.s. a sitting u.s. president is accused of turning a blind eye to murder but that's what we've heard from the turkish foreign minister

with regard to donald trump. and that's what we've been hearing for several days from members of the u.s. congress even members of the president's own republican party i mean we certainly heard in the last few days that there was this evidence of coming from the cia in the form of its assessment that there was very much a conclusion that mohamed bin someone had been behind this killing and now to have the president once again doubling down casting doubt on the intelligence of his own intelligence committee the central intelligence agency has infuriated many here in the united states not just ordinary americans but we've had tweets in recent days from senior senators on capitol hill including richard blumenthal who says that donald trump must accept his intelligence experts incontrovertibly conclusion the crown prince mohammed bin cellmate is culpable for monstrous murder we've had from lindsey graham the senior republican senator one of many senior republican senators

on capitol hill who is not in support of the president's stance saying that the evidence is overwhelming and even bob corker another senior republican saying everything points to the crown prince of saudi arabia as ordered her show she's killing so this is going to infuriate members of congress even more the statement coming from the president on thanksgiving day in florida where he seems to save it in suggest that the intelligence assessment is in any way but conclusive something that we've had anonymous state department officials say is blindingly obvious to hear the president say the crown prince might have done it the points both ways certainly contradicts what many on capitol hill are saying and that's why i think we're going to continue to see a push for this assessment to be made public well this is an american thanksgiving holiday there will be a return to capitol hill in the coming weeks to reno their legislative pushes to try and hold these senior escalades of the saudi government responsible for this

killing to tao all we've seen is. seventeen sanctions from the treasury department mostly to people that are already in jail but not naming the crown prince or any of the royal family in any way and of course it is the crown prince that here on capitol hill they believe is calling the shots and that's why we're going to continue to see this push and what the turkish authorities are doing kimberly is that they're separating out mohammed bin solomon the crown prince from the saudi royal family the king in particular and the country itself and this is something that it seems president trump is unable or unwilling to do. i'm willing certainly and we've talked about perhaps the motivations why donald trump repeatedly points to the arms sales he said in that same press conference where he seemed to cast doubt on a teligent his reasoning behind it and it comes down to money the relationship

between the united states and saudi arabia has been a lucrative one for decades particularly when it comes to arms sales but donald trump has been accused of inflating those figures when it comes to how americans would benefit saying it provides hundreds of thousands of jobs a center of international policy report says that number is more like twenty thousand and many of those jobs would be in saudi arabia as part of the crown prince's vision twenty thirty project as well donald trump has argued that these deals amount to some one hundred ten billion but that same report cites a much lower figure of something like fourteen point five billion dollars as well donald trump in that press conference said there would be a global recession if this relationship were to be altered in any way dramatically a global depression i think was exact wording so he's working to keep oil prices low partner with saudi arabia as the united states continues to pivot towards confronting iran a nation that they say is responsible for malign activity throughout the middle

east so these are some of the motivations for donald trump but not everyone in the united states agrees with that stance does not believe that american values should be sold for economic reasons kimberly have live in washington thank you susan attackers of trying to storm the chinese consulate in the pakistani city of karachi three kumon and at least two policemen are among those killed the separatist group the baluchistan liberation army claimed responsibility victoria gave him the report and that is. this is the man who attacked the chinese consulate in karachi armed with guns they calmly walked up to a security checkpoint and opened fire police say the men threw up to ten hand grenades at the compound as they tried unsuccessfully to storm the building they were stopped by gods before they reached the consulate. two policemen who were on duty have been killed the attackers parked their car away from the consulate they

minister also condemned the gunman. one attack a designated his suicide vest killing two policeman but police killed the other two attackers before they could enter the consulate premises we're glad that all the consulate staff a safe the government says chinese consulate staff have been moved to a safe location and that security forces have the area under control however they're braced for more attacks from people who feel china is transforming the impoverished. region but not giving them a fair share of the benefits big tourist gayton be out there and in a separate attack in the northwestern part of pakistan an explosion in a crowded market has killed at least thirty five people including children dozens were injured in the reside district it recently merged with khyber pass to enquire province after decades of direct rule from islamabad so far no one has yet claimed
