the prize what do you think it will all amounts to that it's all well and good having a meeting at the u.n. but what will that actually amount to. the kremlin can use you know to stop the u.s. security council any steps that could lead to the meaning of the un general assembly which i think a large majority of nations. russians and russian russian escalation this is a very dangerous moment for the first time since russia began a swarm ukraine crimea and more twenty fourteen re doing russian forces attacked regular ukrainian forces and russia did not how it was this is a new escalation and it's very dangerous. what about the political situation in ukraine you've got with the libya you know how it works there but the thought idea of martial law it does seem to be quite a strong reaction well it's actually not a strong reaction at all or should go to prison criticized by others in the political system or not declaring martial law years ago after all keep in mind that
3:01 am
russia the world's second most powerful military has been attacking ukraine since then who are you trying forty and for ukraine shoe concentrate its forces to deal with this major threat and declaring martial law is not a credible act. so i don't buy into the idea that sorry to interrupt you don't buy into the idea that it's more of a political ploy actually designed to delay the elections by by sometime and give him more political time well point of fact when a fact by all proposing one martial law on money and who was going. even more on the mosque in conducting russia and ukraine here's every trying to distract attention we talk about ukraine's internal situation we should not be fooled by propaganda real story here is washed out with its regular motoring forces and attack. we should be strongly condemned and what's needed to react shanks's we
3:02 am
. make sure the crime is not. i mean that well the point i think of also is the fact that this was four years ago that russia are actually annexed crimea and i mean from the view of president putin he's probably thinking well i've basically gotten away with this for four years so why wouldn't he push the boundaries further what was correct because the west response and you know the crimean february twenty fourth and their covert war. and now they raised the stakes. now the west has put out some serious action or circle years trying to take additional sanctions right additional modern weapons to ukraine believe me you had to be a russian ship to enter e.u. and u.s. harbors as long as russia's aggression you've also continue. to hers thank you for taking the time to talk to us today from kiev very much appreciate it thank you for
3:03 am
having me on. plenty more for you on this new. general motors. jobs closing factories in the united states and canada for the back of the life and legacy of one of cinema's most daring voices as the world says goodbye to. cheap and sports will the big match the one to decide america's top football team ever take place that story. well turkish police investigating the murder of jamal khashoggi searching two villages one hundred kilometers outside of istanbul the remains of the saudi journalist of course haven't been found since he was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last month tony burke he has more from that side. the search centered on a large villa near the town of yellow over an hour's drive south of istanbul the forty strong team including police with sniffer dogs security forces and forensic
3:04 am
investigators spent all monday at the villa which is said to be owned by a rich saudi businessman turkish media reported that he has links to crown prince mohammed bin sandman portraits of the saudi king and crown prince could be seen hanging in the hallway turkish investigators were acting on phone records of calls made from the saudi consulate in istanbul before jamal khashoggi was murdered one is said to have been made to the villa by a saudi national he's been named as left tenant colonel mansoor othman abu hussein was a member of the so-called hit squad which carried out the killing it's thought that colonel abu hussein is in the saudi civil defense force and to serve the crown prince the turkish prosecutor has issued a statement saying the call was made a day before the killing and it was to discuss either how to hide or destroy this because saudis body. the search included the surrounding area and
3:05 am
a neighboring villa which is also owned by a saudi national neither of the owners was present fire services drained two wells before the forensic team took away samples. the two main theories about what happened to mr body either it was dismembered and dissolved in acid in the consulate or his remains were taken away in black suitcases purchased by saudi officials on the morning of the murder they were then either disposed of in turkey or flown to saudi arabia under diplomatic privilege only the killers know the answer and they are in saudi arabia if this search fails to produce any significant evidence about the whereabouts of mystical saudis body it's difficult to see where this investigation goes from here without meaningful saudi cooperation which for some reason it still refusing to give. them i think you know they are in the queue . saudi authorities are investigating with the perpetrators of the crime and they must hundred more over to us so that we can investigate them ourselves and know who
3:06 am
the local collaborators or collaborators are and who gave the orders to carry out the crimes since all these questions are still unanswered calls from around the world and international organizations are getting louder to open an international investigation into this crime the saudi arabia mohamed bin salman though i'm moving on doing business and seeing friends the crown prince the man thought by turkish and u.s. security services to be in the want to order the killing is in egypt is his first foreign trip since the murder of jamal khashoggi and the question being asked is if he wasn't the architect of this killing then why is he not finding out who was tony berkeley al-jazeera yell over turkey and we'll pick up the story from ankara now what's the name cause the only it's been an interesting developments and guess given so much of the focus was first on the consulate and then it was on the consul general home all the searches there and now we move on to kilometers outside of istanbul. well he has come out of the
3:07 am
story is getting more and more complicated but also we are receiving many more evidences every day by the turkish investigation team so let me explain why the police was there in the yellow up to the to do search in those two a villa today well actually this this investigation came when the prosecutor's office figured out that consulate cars the diplomatic cars had movements to that area one day before jim alpha shook his death and on the night of jamal for shoot does that i have to explain one thing here what is the plot to cars in every country when you have a diplomatic car belongs to the platic mission a you met you make a deal with a gasoline company and you put chips in that car so that you buy cheaper gasoline and these diplomatic cars were carrying that gasoline company in micro-chips that's
3:08 am
why the police it was so easy for the turkish police to identify where these diplomatic rickles were moving to and the cars came there and according to the neighbor is that we have contacted in the area they told us that the villa which was used only for a couple of weeks and every year it was busy was active on october first which means one day before. that october the second the day he died and october the third so there was a movement around the area the diplomatic saudi diplomatic corps were coming to this area and pressed statement by stumble prosecutor's office say that. a saudi intelligence employee whose name is monsoon last month above hussein contacted the all of that will last one day before jamal does that and the statement says we believe that this contact was a stylish in order to elaborate how to dispose or hide the roommate. use of to
3:09 am
mouth to ship his body after this membrane go to the press statement again emphasize that that was a preplanned murder committed by the saudi official team that that arrived from saudi arabia. let me explain who that monsoon hussein is monsour a small number hussein is one of the members of that fifteen mensa quote that came specifically to kill jamal khashoggi he is an employee of the saudi consulate in istanbul and also he is an employee of the saudi intelligence organization and according to the turkish stumble prosecutor's office investigation file. is also one of the prime suspects of this murder along with saudi consul general and what is interesting is that monsoon or smaller hussein he came to stumble he was in
3:10 am
riyadh according to the official records it arrived in the stumble on october the first in the afternoon and he left stumble on the night that jamal his ship was killed at nine forty five pm he left istanbul and the police say is as soon as he landed in a stumble as soon as muster last month landed in istanbul he had a lot of phone contacts phone calls with mohamed el for zones employees while metal for example was the owner of that villa and who is known to be one of the very rich families close of the royal family simcoe silly with that update from her thank you . now saudi arabia's crown prince meanwhile is due in egypt part of his first foreign to us since the murder of jamal khashoggi mohammed bin salman met the king of bahrain on sunday journalists in tunisia though demonstrating against his planned arrival that's on tuesday activists have even started a legal challenge to stop his visit because of their revulsion at the killing of
3:11 am
shoji we're going to talk to my own bashara about this our senior political analyst in london that's quite something isn't my one that these journalists and i suspect other members of society into his ear making a public stand against mohamed been someone you're so there's nothing to be shocked about that right certainly the tunisian sort of gone through the revolutions relatively successfully and were able to rebound over the various challenges including terrorist attacks and elections and so on so forth into what the civil society in tunisia is today and really where they stand for is freedom of the press not cutting journalist into pieces and so in a way they are telling mohammad been so mun that their president might feel pressured into accepting this or is it their president might be in crisis or in lacking the dollars that mohamed the saudi man is spending but that they
3:12 am
remain in principle and in reality opposed to this kind of visit that might give any credibility to the crown prince or to the crime that took place in istanbul that moment as long as mohamed bin someone stays in relatively safe water says i guess to his ear is getting a little bit murky but bahrain egypt these sorts of places i mean it it he's insulated is the not know he's got the backing of president trump from the united states any action there is still a while away he just kind of carries on. well yes and for the time being he's also as we all know going on the thirtieth of of november to argentina to meet with other heads of the g. twenty summit so look what we've seen thus far is of course the international community and i see a community and i see that's the key word here the operative words if you will that
3:13 am
we are a community. that the public opinion and most of the world leaders are of course. you know angry by by a by what they so happening. and i think generally speaking a lot of them still associate and how medicine man with the so-called. bone saw a but there are those others especially among the elites and among certain countries and the we've seen that coming out of pakistan we've seen the out of egypt and other places that they do think of him how madmen so man as mohamed big spender because he is capable of spending billions upon billions of dollars of petro dollars and we've seen that happening already for example in the case of pakistan six million dollars for the pakistani recently elected prime minister to drop in in riyadh and basically give credibility if that is possible to to the crown prince that so i think the overall with the american president also chipping in with hundreds of billions of dollars for his government and and so on so forth i
3:14 am
think we will see more and more of those who really want to exploit this crisis i think there's a lot of cynicism we've seen on the part of set the leaders but i think the international public opinion i applaud is still indignant a by what they saw from the crown prince and his. minions if you will i want to share a senior political analyst in london thank you. a british student accused of spying in the united arab emirates has been granted a presidential pardon and is expected home in the u.k. later on monday matthew hedges he had been researching his ph d. when he was arrested at dubai airport in may and then last week he was sentenced to life imprisonment a surprise verdict which threatened to create a serious diplomatic rift between up with abby and london this from paul brennan. seven months after his arrest matthew hedges is going home his wife daniella surprised and delighted by the news it's overwhelming. of course the laid out
3:15 am
about it but also it's the kind of thing that no one ever prepares you for. no one ever prepared me. to face this situation and let alone celebrate so. i can announce it with certainty i can to say i'm happy to have him back on the plan for matthew's return a winter barbecue we had it postponed from the spring so hopefully we'll just get to catch up on some sleep and have our winter barbecue at the announcement of the presidential pardon came as an early morning news conference in the u.a.e. capital abu dhabi. this. is. really. the least that's being seen as a diplomatic compromise the u.a.e.
3:16 am
stands by the court's conviction for espionage based on the postgraduate students research work on the u.a.e. security strategies the british government disagrees but when mr hedges freedom the compromise is something london is prepared to live with we've made it very clear for a number of months now that we see no basis in these allegations they reflect on that they've taken the action that they can which means that matthew hedges is going to be reunited with his family analysts say the outcome enables both sides to save face but lessons must be learnt i hope that behind the scenes and very careful thought is given to how such things can be involved in the future proper safeguards in the legal process to review things an earlier date so it doesn't get down to the issues of pardons and clemency and a diplomatic fallout because nobody really wants to see that there's something all sides in this diplomatic route do want to see and that's matthew had just back home
3:17 am
in the u.k. . and we'll read things up now with paul brennan live in london for us now it really has been quite a roller coaster this one and i think i said to you earlier you know when to look at it is simply or as well that ends well because as the gentleman in your report was saying there's a lot to learn here there is i mean first of all matthew had his as far as we know hasn't arrived back the final two planes jus to land at london's heathrow airport touched down just an hour ago now and no indications that matthew was on any of our either of those two says that the most likely that his return to the u.k. will be on tuesday morning even then the family says that they want very low key return at this point there's no news conference or big homecoming certainly in public that's been organized in the foreign office is also playing it very low but the other thing is of course that the nature of his return he hasn't been exonerated he hasn't been cleared of espionage charges he remains guilty in the
3:18 am
u.a.e. all of those charges but he's been pardoned by the president and thus allowed to go home so there is a possibility that that might cause him a few problems further down the line although the academics and analysts that i was speaking to today hope very much that it wouldn't given the high profile nature and lots of publicity around this case people who are looking at potentially having matthew hedges come and do research in that country in the future perhaps would realize that there was a disputed circumstance as to the background to this case paul brennan thank you for that update from london. here's what's coming up for you on this news are protecting vital financial resources of the day thousands gathering in africa to explore the wealth and possibilities of the so-called blue economy. and frustration and chaos on the u.s. mexican border as migrants defied donald trump's threats to try to cross into america. sports news atlanta united taking

a general motors is cutting car production in north america and plans to stop manufacturing some selling car models the detroit based company says it will end production by the end of twenty nineteen at its assembly plants across the u.s. g.m. says these closures are part of sweeping changes shifts more of its focus towards electric vehicles thousands of jobs could be at risk and the biggest employee union the united auto workers as to fight the plan but still in washington about the she had this is a very big deal because of the strength in the history i guess of the motor industry in the u.s. . right fourteen thousand seven hundred jobs may be lost as a result some eight thousand white collar jobs the rest on the factory floor devastating for the communities affected in ohio michigan maryland in the u.s. on tarrier canada as well in addition to other plants not in north america will cease operating by the end of next year according to general motors generated says
3:24 am
it's simply reacting to changed market conditions the u.s. consumer doesn't want a lot of these models that that making the the passenger cars in particular u.s. consumers with low oil prices have been buying s.u.v.s and trucks and are willing to spend more money on those so they james to sensibly look we just need to we to phase out the production of all of these these models awfully devastating for communities which actually ten years ago you were. responsible for bailing g.m. out that g.m. had a multi-billion dollar bailout paid for taxpayers and the united auto workers pointing out look i mean you can't just now maximize shareholder value at the expense of workers we saved you the taxpayer save you there's a great really really strong statement from the u.a.w. james production decisions in light of employee concessions during the economic downturn and the taxpayer bailout from bankruptcy puts profits before the working
3:25 am
families of this country whose personal sacrifices stood with g.m. during those dark days they say it's a slap in the face of the memory as we recall the historical american made bailout we must step away from the anti worker thinking of seeking simply the lowest labor costs on the planet but that is exactly what g.m. is doing it's a continuation of that race to the bottom which is a mark of capitalism globalization whatever you want to call it the shareholder value comes first the plight of workers is very distant second if it will be very interesting to see how president reacts to all of this when it she had given his talk about jobs jobs returning to america employment unemployment going down this although just in one second it does fly in the face of all of that. and specifically he's going to ohio he's going to michigan and boasted about the jobs that he's bringing back as a result of revitalizing the car industry in the u.s. this suggests that actually he hasn't revitalized the car industry to the tax cuts
3:26 am
he instituted huge corporate tax cuts which many ways of just going to the shareholders through share buybacks that's not going into revitalizing the manufacturing sites the tower of solomon even still haven't helped the car industry either g.m. says its costs may be up by a billion dollars results as a result of the tower of however. most of this is more about that that shift in consumer sentiment on the on its wish for low wages outside in mexico and elsewhere but it is interesting that trump is going to be facing some pressure these two swing states ohio and michigan what key the doldrums victory and his promise to do to not forget about those left behind by globalization so this is actually putting a wrinkle in his pitch to american workers in case she had thank you for the update shepparton in washington meanwhile donald trump has told mexico in a tweet to send home thousands of central american asylum seekers sheltering in
3:27 am
tijuana and comments come hours after u.s. god's five th pass to stop hundreds of asylum seekers crossing that border. mexican police say those migrants involved will face deportation and that it will increase security donald trump's valves to keep out the thousands of migrants who've walked from central america to escape poverty and crime caster with more on this now. according to mexican authorities a small portion of the overall caravan about five hundred of the eight thousand asylum seekers now empty awana had a brief skirmish with u.s. border patrol yesterday it started with a peaceful march in which families were protesting the long wait to submit their asylum claim by the u.s. and the conditions of the shelter where they're staying in mexico which is open to the air with little food to eat but according to bystanders this demonstration quickly devolved into chaos when
3:28 am
a few of the asylum seekers picked up rocks and hurled them at the mexican officers on the mexican side at that point people started running toward the u.s. border crossing a dry river riverbed and trying to get over the border wall u.s. border patrol then fired tear gas at the crowd which included women and children now the u.s. has responded already by increasing its military presence on the border sending more than five thousand active duty military personnel there and trump has said that he may push for more funding for his border wall before the upcoming budget which is due december seventh if not he says he has said in the past that he may partially shut down the government which ironically would include funding for the department of homeland security which monitors the border a tuberculosis epidemic in papa new guinea is getting worse and officials say poor infrastructure is only adding to the problem so far health workers have only been
3:29 am
able to get to a fraction of those affected is under thomas reports from the capital port. tuberculosis in papua new guinea isn't just an issue it's an epidemic more than one in two hundred fifty people are known to have to kill a disease the real proportion is believed to be much higher. cari dusty fell ill two years ago but living in a remote area accessible only by boat it was five months before she was diagnosed after she was she had trouble after taking the pills she was prescribed listen i faithfully took my medications however my body wasn't reacting well to it i started to experience some kind of allergic reaction and side effects dusty is perseverance but in rural papua new guinea that's unusual to treat tuberculosis patients need to take an elaborate and unpleasant cocktail of drugs regularly for months the lack of
3:30 am
clinics and transport to those clinics makes getting those medicines to people or people to the medicines hard when the appointment when did on their review dates i dread stan. i go out into the villages and i meet them and i ask them why you are not calm mean health workers reach only a fraction of those infected and when people let their treatments lapse the disease has a resurgence and becomes more tolerant to drugs once it's more into what's called multi-drug resistant tuberculosis the disease is much harder and more expensive to treat half of all patients die organizations like doctors without borders are trying to help but there's not enough essential coordination the frustration that many have here is that papua new guinea's government is no thing is that it has a big problem and that it's getting worse and yet despite having the money the government hasn't been spending it in the right way and hasn't made typing
3:31 am
tuberculosis enough of a political priority earlier this month papua new guinea hosted the asia pacific economic cooperation summit of world leaders to discuss economic growth but critics question whether a country in the grip of a health crisis should be spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a conference the government except it must do better whilst things like funding for medicines has been quite a quite a large number it's the. it's the execution of the health services at the front in that is suffering and our government take lessons of coming as treasurer has tried to emphasise that some of the funding streams in a budgetary process are essential for delivery of those services you can't sacrifice some of those. when you're rushing financing view around here have ever been to their country's capital but it is in port moresby that the political impetus is needed to stop what's already an epidemic from becoming
