11:11 am
security council ban two two three one which you bans iran from undertaking any activity related to ballistic missiles designated to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons including launches using such ballistic missile technology and now according to the state department iran's ballistic missile testing is actually on the increase and the state department is asking iran to halt all ballistic missile tests immediately this is all part of washington's increased rhetoric in recent weeks against iran we've seen this over the past couple weeks and this is also part of a big reason why the united states has not punish saudi arabia more forcefully for its role and role in the killing of jamal khashoggi and also the war in yemen is because washington is saying they need saudi arabia to counter what they call is
11:12 am

months since he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul twenty britney looks back at how the murder investigation has unfolded since then and the continuing fight for justice by his family and friends. these days they keep apartment in front of the entrance to the saudi consulate in istanbul to stop prying eyes for the last eight weeks saudi arabia has been unable to stop the world from knowing what happened inside this building on october the second despite the saudi lies and deception the planning and intent family and friends are determined on bringing the man who gave the order for jamal khashoggi murder to justice the fight for justice for the cheese continue and to continue of course at the end until. everybody will be satisfied that justice
11:17 am
and now i am very fond of him very fortunately now the problem the issue is an issue intonation should it's an it's a university should now the saudis say five an amen part of the fifty man so-called hit squad are facing the death penalty in saudi arabia for the murder six others a charge with related offenses although western intelligence agencies believe all the evidence circumstantial and otherwise points to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman as the architect of the killing some diplomats believe he has got away with it was executing five. people were. killed. in a small circle while they have done and the other. seven or receipts remaining six there will be most for religion and they will close again. turkey and
11:18 am
the rest of the world is shocked by the barbarity of the murder president recep tayyip erdogan and turkey's government has leaked details of audio recordings from inside the consulate before during and after the killing investigators revealed phone calls made to riyadh with one of the hit squad saying tell the boss the deed is done without stating his name the turks have made it obvious the boss is mohammed bin sound man but turkey's options are limited by a lack of saudi cooperation and a lack of will from the international community the saudis are using the vienna convention on diplomatic immunity is as reasons not to hand over the suspects to turkey no nor state give her the state for for an investigation so the issue here is this really think it's so different. than will come to an end in turkey you should make this issue to international level because the
11:19 am
nation the investigation. will be a date and that is the only way this case can be investigated fairly and openly but turkey's government mindful of the situation regarding human rights and treatment of some of its own citizens is reluctant to call for un investigation and western governments seem disinterested as could be seen at the g twenty summit in argentina some politicians have short memories and forgiving natures when it comes to trade deals it now seems likely that the real culprit behind this crime is going to get away with it and that the murder of your marcus short will become a paragraph in history in a bloody region and that's a sad indictment not only of saudi arabia but also of the international community which is that by and watched and done nothing. tony burke. mexico's new president has been sworn in with a promise to end corruption poverty and violence. lopez obrador is the country's
11:20 am
first leftist president in over seventy years john homan reports from mexico city on the populist leader. he sent the message even before his swearing in arriving in an old blokes wagon jetter things were going to change at the third attempt under his money to a lopez obrador became an excuse president the country's first leftist leader in decades. because. he got straight to the point thirty years of free trade policies and growing privatization were outs that. the new liberal policies have been a disaster a calamity for the country. and to clean up would be good seem appealing expressing if you asked me to explain one phrase the plan of the gunman i'll say wipe out an option and if unity he says the money saved from cleaning up growth will furnish and social programs. it's easy to be is it those who will be waiting for the next
11:21 am
guy whose main plaza. now we're going to be listening to our president that's the change i voted for and why i am here it's the first time in my forty six years that i've come to this type of event. is that indigenous leaders came to it after a ritual cleansing he gave the crowd what sounded more like a wish list to list speech this is fun for me so this is my promise for starters first class health system for free like in canada the scandinavian countries but many analysts say that for all the promises his plans remain threadbare and the sums to start i don't know how do you put together on the one hand that all all the measures are going to cost a lot of money we are not going to raise taxes that's why that what the government has announced and he says that everybody is going to everything is going to be paid off by cutting corruption but corruption and cutting corruption it's not only
11:22 am
a matter of political will it's a matter of constructing effective institutions and so far in the measures that he has announced there is a. used to. build in as a priority of the new government it's a common criticism he supports is his word is enough for now is a lot of hope mr lopez obrador won by a landslide but they soon so desperation for change more than forty percent of the poor the murder rate is the worst on record and people are tired of the seemingly never ending corruption. he makes just a bit of headway on those issues for many could be a no don't hold. an exclusive. well tension in crimea has been discussed at the g. twenty summit the russian and german leaders agreed for way talks with france and ukraine the kremlin's release pictures of a missile system deployed on the crimea peninsula which russian troops are next four years ago ukraine has imposed martial law after the russian navy captured

11:24 am
a report from the united nations shows that the world is completely off track heading instead towards three degrees celsius and that is twice the recommended rate of warming and as this year has proven time is on no one side. in a world currently one degree celsius warmer than pre-industrial times the fingerprints of climate change and its human impact becoming increasingly apparent . and not just in the developing world. the worst wildfires in california history last month led to multiple deaths and extraordinary destruction they had this demonic winds is the only way i can put it it's like our eyes are gone you know our lives everything we have is gone now more and bigger wildfires are predicted around the world as temperatures increase. right now in afghanistan drought is tightening its stranglehold thousands of families have lost everything there are reports of children being sold off to pay off debt or buy food. across the world drought will

worsen with increasing famine as heat waves strengthen the. living seas have led to more ferocious hurrican cyclons forming over the world's oceans and when they hit land from florida to the philippines the effects are catastrophic especially as rising sea levels mean even more destructive storm surges. ice sheets are retreating ecosystems are under pressure. and all the while greenhouse gas emissions have reached record levels at a time when scientists say they need to be radically reducing. these impacts. maybe increase as we go toward one hundred five degrees and further increase for two degrees so what one point five degrees allows us is to keep the rate of change at the level that makes these intakes more manageable for society as this is devastation in the united states comes as a u.s.
