paris as protests over a proposed fuel tax rise turned violent. taiwan's president resigns as leader of her ruling party after suffers major defeats in local elections seen as a test of its pro independent stance. in doha with all your sports a couple of it's a lot it's final was delayed by an hour of the players were taken to hospital after the team bus was attacked by the river plate for. murder seems to have brought us republicans and democrats together senators are due to get a briefing on saudi arabia next week which could determine whether congress goes forward with sanctions against its longtime ally key figures in both parties are

demanding answers from donald trump's administration and questioning the president's reluctance to act on the saudi journalists killing adam schiff the democrat tipped to leave the house intelligence committee says donald trump's response will be part of a probe into his possible financial ties with the kingdom he's promising a quote deep dive into washington's relationship with riyadh pretty high def the war in yemen and the stability of the saudi royal family. on the republican side key senators including foreign relations committee chairman bob corker demanding answers from the administration. and jordan is live from washington d.c. so wasn't both democrats republicans have been complaining about handling of the case but what are they doing about it well certainly there have been some discussions and some efforts introduced legislation to try to hold the saudi government accountable particularly in its conduct of the war in yemen but using

the murder really as the impetus to try to push this legislation through now come reports suggesting that the full senate for one will be getting a briefing from the u.s. secretary of state mike pale and the defense secretary jim mattis some point in the coming week to discuss basically what does the administration know about the war in yemen about the murder of jamal khashoggi about other issues that have raised concerns among u.s. senators and for that point members of the house of representatives of as well but given that this is something that both democrats and republicans want to do this could be a very very pivotal moment in terms of trying to was see whether the white house is going to be able to stand fast and say that it does not accept the cia's

conclusion that it was at the behest of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon that jamal khashoggi was murdered back on october second and shows his daughters have been talking to us media to defend their father what wife it felt the need to do that. well let's consider this it's been going on now for more than six weeks his murder and the political and diplomatic fallout from because she's death and there have been some efforts by pros saudi partisans to try to was denigrate the the reputation of jamal questioning his political alliances his religious alliances his objectivity as a journalist and it is worth pointing out that his daughters wrote an op ed column for the washington post where jamal khashoggi had himself been a columnist they talked about him not as

a journalist per se but as their father and they said that they were basically trying to what put out there in the public record that their father was someone who believed in his work as a journalist but who also believed in trying to raise his children in a way that would make them proud of him proud of themselves and willing to stand up and to speak out for in against injustice and so you could consider this given that this is the newspaper where he had a toehold in the u.s. press it's part of the counter campaign as it were to preserve his reputation because not to be crass about it but it's rather difficult for dead people to defend themselves it's up to their loved ones to stand up for them particularly at a moment like this when there are such great political sensitivities at work president jordan thank you very much. well more details continue to emerge about

the murder. two months after his death and the most recent comes from turkish investigators analyzing the phone calls and movements of the suspects and they said the operation to kill him was planned twelve days in advance in the recordings a third voice is heard which security sources say might be that of the saudi crown prince tony betty takes a look at to the varying accounts of what exactly happened to the journalist on october second. it was meant to be a new beginning for jamal khashoggi a new wife a new home and a new country but turkey was where he died and exiled journalists who dared to question and authoritarian leader his death in the saudi consulate in istanbul could so easily have been missed or even forgotten had it not been for the secret audio recordings from the scene no one really knows exactly how these recordings came about either the turkish security services bugged the consulate or a consular official with a conscience recorded them in the end it doesn't really matter what matters is that

they expose the lies and deception surrounding this murder at first the denials are strong on october third the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman denied all knowledge of the killings saying mr casady disappeared after he left the consulate building an october the eighth his brother khaled bin salman the saudi ambassador to the u.s. repeated the claim but on october the twelfth according to cia sources reported saudi crown prince asked jerrod krishna president tom son in law why the outrage is because saudi was a dangerous islamist this anger the turkish authorities and that is when the audio recordings started to be leaked. on october thirteenth eleven days after mr casady was killed the turkish newspaper subba published details of the killing it said they came from a recording from his i watch that was sync to his i phone held by his turkish fiance outside the consulate the i watched part is perhaps not correct but the newspaper said the recording was of the journalist being tortured and then murdered

this is when the picture and the response started to change with such grim and irrefutable evidence it was difficult for this out and out culture of denial to continue and if you're a suspicious or cynical nature and this is when you could believe that and agree now it it was beginning to take shape and an element of collusion was starting not just in saudi arabia on october the fifteenth president donald trump introduces the element of rogue killers maybe being responsible he repeated maybe two days later mike comp a of the u.s. secretary of state was dispatched to riyadh where he stressed the strong alliance between the two countries and said we face our challenges together the past the day and tomorrow those challenges then got harder on october the seventeenth the turkish daily yeni shafiq printed more details about the killing revealing the concerns of the saudi consulate general in istanbul he asked the hit team to do it somewhere else the paper reports that he was told to shut up if he wanted to live

back in saudi saudi arabia as noted began to change at this point on october the nineteenth the saudi attorney general said the journalist was killed during a fight on october the twenty first the saudi foreign minister adel al job there follows president trump's line and says mr khashoggi was killed by rogue elements and insisted the crown prince had nothing to do with it it's interesting to see who these rogue elements are according to the information available they include some of the most trusted members of mohamed bin salman's personal security team and a forensic expert and they acted under the orders of the deputy head of saudi intelligence in a country where the crown prince exercises unbridled such. per hour it's unbelievable to sound that such a mission could have been undertaken without his knowledge on october the twenty second the saudis introduced a new version saying that it was an accident that mr kosofsky raised his voice the team panicked moved to restrain him and then had him in a choke hold in which he died on the same day this was dispelled by more audio

revelations in the newspaper which revealed new recordings that mr cumshaw ji was either strangled with a belt or is fixated with a plastic bag after cia director gina hospital listened to the recordings in a visit to turkey saudi arabia changed its story once again on october the twenty fifth after more than three weeks of denials and implausible explanations the saudi attorney general finally admitted the murder it was premeditated he later and now to the death penalty for five of the team but with no further details and stressed that the crown prince was not implicated. on november the sixteenth the cia leak their findings with one official saying it was blindingly obvious who was responsible three days later more audio details released by her newspaper revealing just before the murder exactly how the hit team was going to commit the killing and who would do what the paper said the recordings also detailed nineteen phone calls that were made to riyadh after the killing including one in which the caller said

tell the boss the deed is done on the same day habit turk online newspaper reveals more from the consulate audio recordings with mystic ashaji being grabbed to soon as he walked in and being called a traitor and the man who posed as his double to give the impression the journalist left the consulate saying it is spooky wearing the clothes of a man we killed twenty minutes ago when president trump declared his support for the saudi crown prince he said there was no direct proof against mohammed bin salmen on november the twenty second harriet made the strongest allegation against the crown prince stating that the cia has an order recording between mohamed bin selman and his brother in washington ordering mystica shaadi to be silenced it hasn't changed the mind of president donald trump it's business as usual with saudi arabia this terrible murder will be remembered for the lies and deception but also the day a u.s. president gave a pardon to a thanksgiving turkey and a virtual pardon to saudi crown prince tony berkely al-jazeera istanbul.

local issues they also indicated the popularity of the government led by president zine with the verdict a severe setback to her leadership the democratic progressive party lost control of taiwan second and third largest cities she offered to resign as party chairwoman which analysts say well we can help our within the d.p.p. so here i think in iran think first of all i need to take full responsibility for the resolute in today's elections effective now i resign as the chairwoman of the democratic progressive party our efforts were not enough disappointing all supporters who gave their all i also want to once again express our deepest regrets as with all elections in taiwan there was one overriding issue china. with or without the afrin demanded. dependents we taiwanese decide our own future we are always taiwanese and unlike us they are chinese. and fine with

a referendum to decide whether we go for independence or unification but i personally support my taney to stay to school and the governments of both sides should cooperate in january two thousand and sixteen zion and the d.p.p. won a landslide victory and taiwan had its first female head of state but almost immediately china's leaders and their supporters here began a campaign to undermine her administration the relationship worsened doctors dying when became president almost three years ago the leadership in beijing often demonizes her over her refusal to accept there is but one china and taiwan is a part of it as a result the diplomatic and economic squeeze of taiwan goes on. there were setbacks as well into contentious referendums with taiwanese voting against same sex

marriage and changing the name taiwan uses what it competes in international sporting events it's been a bad weekend for taiwan's leader but it's provided a further of mind that the democracy here remains one of the freest and most vibrant in asia adrian brown al jazeera taipei. joins me from washington d.c. is. senior advisor to the global taiwan institute thanks very much for being with us so what do you see these results as essentially the verge of delivering a rebuke to the president. well she has been very much between a rock and a hard place on the one hand forming down has never really accepted her victory in two thousand and sixteen and. they have basically tried to undermine her in many ways at the same time her core supporters from two thousand and sixteen but we refer to as deep green people they basically have said well

you are not moving far enough and you are not fast enough so between those two she was squeezed and death resulted in the loss of the elections in a number of major cities we have to remember d.c. still local elections the national government and the legislature still remain within the hands of the d.p.p. but at a local level there will be let's say more willingness to interact with the chinese more exchanges of tourists more purchase of goods by china china really try to drive a wedge between the national government and the local government sued their interaction with the local cities and counties have and in that way strengthen yes yeah just just give us an idea of how important or the position of these

matters in these various cities is unhappy. well they do of course run the local cities and counties and the overall balance between the d.p.p. and the kuomintang in the cities is an indicator for the general support for the president in the country as a whole and in that respect to the kuomintang basically reversed the results of the two thousand and fourteen local elections when the d.p.p. one thirteen out of twenty two and the commandant went down to about six. mayors and county magistrates and no woman down basically has gone back to its old level so it does have a significant influence at the local level and it is to some extent an indicator of national policies and what about i mean she it's i has resigned as party leader but

she'll still be the president how much will these results damage have presidency well not. really directly she will. basically separate out the responsibilities of chairman of the party and president and in my food that is a good move those should be two separate responsibilities she and her previous esther have combined us in one person but as we see in no doubt leads to relatively large burden on one person to run both the country and the party so in the run up to the two thousand and twenty elections it will be a different person who runs the party and she will be able to focus more on national issues and i feel that this is a good point on many of the national issues such as taiwan's international space

purchase of arms from the united states and other such issues there is a significant. agreement between the d.p.p. and the comandante so she will be able to push for more international space and for better relations with european countries and with the united states so for national governments that will be good but of course it will be a very different person who will run the election campaigns for two thousand and twenty ok thank you very much need care to have a nice thank you. human rights organizations say the parliamentary election being held in bahrain is neither free nor fair the two main opposition groups on taking part voted earlier this year effectively to ban them. reports. the lyrics in arabic say i'm from from. state t.v.

a platform of one hundred percent clean energy and the youth vote that we saw i think was really galvanized by a recognition in young people that their future is at stake now so i expect climate change to be very much an issue in the congress no longer a debate about whether it's happening but rather a debate about how quickly we need to move and what needs to be done to tackle the problem. still to come on the al-jazeera news hour front stairs live in the davis cup final peter for details in sport next. day one of a new era in television news we badly need at this moment leadership and tell you this encampment that we're in today it didn't exist three weeks ago now there's at least twenty thousand for him to refugees who live here on al-jazeera i got to
