counting the cost and i just. this is al jazeera. hello i'm down in jordan this is the out of live from coming up in the next sixty minutes going before congress the head of the cia fewer senators on the day. after more than fifty years as part of opec kottaras calling it quits leaving the oil cartel in a bid to focus on gas. this example will always inspire the body
5:01 am
of former u.s. president george h.w. bush to washington d.c. for one last time as the country. and its board we meet the footballer who ended a decade of belonged or dominance by messi and cristiano ronaldo. welcome to the program the director of the u.s. central intelligence agency is now to brief senate leaders on the killing of the saudi journalist. the head of the senate foreign relations committee bob corker says gina hospital will speak about the murder on tuesday she did not take part in a trumpet ministration briefing on her show she's death last week but john hendren joins us live now from washington d.c. john so why is hospital suddenly appearing now before the senate when she was reportedly prevented from doing so last week. there and i can answer that in two words it's congressional pressure what happened was that senators were very upset
5:02 am
that she did not appear last week to brief them when the secretary of state and the defense secretary briefed and they felt like that was a partisan briefing and the secretary of state might pompei in defense secretary jim that as both said that as centrally there was no smoking gun leaking the saudi crown prince had been summoned to the killing of to shoji there was no direct evidence they kept saying well direct evidence would be say a photograph or a recording of the crown prince ordering this were approving of they don't have that but what the cia does have according to many media reports is evidence of eleven messages between mohamed bin some on and one of his senior aides so khatami before and after the killing and al capone is is the one who is blamed for leading the murder of jamal khashoggi so that is one of the things that senators
5:03 am
want to know about they want to hear directly from gina unlike the defense secretary and the secretary of state she actually went to turkey and she heard the tapes the alleged tapes that the turkish government halves of the murder itself so they want to hear what she thinks they want to hear about the cia conclusions because it has been widely reported in the media here that the cia has concluded with medium to high certainty that the cia believes that the crown prince did indeed order the murder of jamal khashoggi so senators were unhappy with the administration's response last week they promise to block any of the president's major legislation and this included republican allies members of the president's own party like lindsey graham who said they would not allow legislation to go forward and in fact they voted sixty three to seven in a historic rebuke to the trumpet ministration to blow. further military aid to the saudis in their war in yemen so this is going to be this is going to be possibly
5:04 am
resolved this week when gina has been speaks we don't know but the senators insisted on a showdown they said they wanted hassle and now they're getting or as you say u.s. senators on both sides of the house have long been calling for stronger action against saudi arabia so remind us what exactly that voting for and what happens next. that's right there and they took the extraordinary unprecedented action of invoking the war powers act this is a some federal legislation that dates back to the vietnam war era in one nine hundred seventy three and it says that after sixty days congress can block any military action the president has launched without the approval of congress and there they're using this to block aid to the saudis in yemen now will this actually go into effect it's got many steps to go before that first of all they got to get it through the house of representatives which is a much more partisan organization it is run by
5:05 am
a large group of republicans the democrats will take over the house in january but this was really just a shot across the bow by the senators to the trumpet ministration saying we want to ask before us we want to explain exactly what happened here and there are a number of senators of both parties that want to make saudi arabia pay for this action and they're not willing to accept the administration's response a vat's why they're going to listen to gina has been who will probably speak in a closed session but i'm sure there and we will hear what she has to say afterwards because the senate is not exactly an air tight organization or to john hendren there live for us in washington d.c. john thank you well former cia officer glen collins says he's not expect in jena hospital to reveal any new information. since the report has leaked some i think that she will speak clearly to that and i don't expect that she would go any further than anything that we know she'll never reveal in
5:06 am
a briefing like this the sources or or the methods which she will reveal the substance the main point here is that this you can have the at this two ways it's the trump administration just as our colleague in washington proved an excellent briefing said now it's the from administration backing water or or trying to get out from some of the pressure that it is now under from the congress and it is congress's effort to reassert its part prerogatives that's that's really the news here with trump's continuing to try to carry the water for a mound and some if trump can bury it he will clearly what he is doing is trying to relieve the pressure on him from congress with gestures. his standard pattern is to say to deny and then to make a cosmetic change or backing down to tout that and to change the subject and then
5:07 am
to move on so he will do what he can to maintain his. shockingly intimate relationship and solomon while congress may pressure him son some more but the advantage in foreign policy always rests with the executive. now a saudi dissident in canada has filed a lawsuit accusing saudi arabia of using spyware from an israeli software company to hack into his communications with jamal khashoggi newly released private messages between the journalist and abilities a pitch fear of mohammed bin salmond the t.v. network c.n.n. has seen exchanges between the two men where he described the saudi crown prince as a beast who would devour all in his path discussed creating an online movement to document human rights abuses in saudi arabia and hold leaders to account we arguing that technology group has developed. or still selling to dictatorship states like saudi arabia is being used by the states in order to spy after

5:09 am
and basically he was calling the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon a beast he said he devoured opposition he was a target to radical leader and that he was a kid who had to be stopped they were also trying to start this social platform of dissidents around the world to counteract what they said was saudi propaganda now n.s.o. has a track record of dealing with some dubious countries according to amnesty international in israel they tried this year to get the ministry of defense in israel to revoke the export license of n.s.o. because they said they were selling to countries which had human rights violations on their hands that did not happen but there was contract controversy over that company mystical saudi real realized at some stage at the messages with mr abdul aziz were being intercepted and one of the messages to his friend was they know this may god help us two months later mystic a saudi was murdered qatar is quitting the oil exporting group opec saying it wants

a very longstanding relationship with the it has its own complications with its relationship with the taliban but ultimately out of all the stakeholders involved in the war baucus on is one of the only countries which still has a somewhat positive relationship with the taliban and so i think the way that the u.s. war could potentially and in a way it which would also help the u.s. box down relationship would be if under khan's leadership if the box on the government could convince the taliban to take part in peace talks which are of llano and an afghan led. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back ethnic cleansing or genocide we look at why the language matters when investigating crimes committed against the rangers. also claimed that slavery has been a bone spur. meet the nobel peace laureate taking his mission against child labor to a new audience. and in support pakistan cricket to see a shot close in a moment of test matches st laurent to stay with us.
