a diverse group of senate leaders from both parties introduced a resolution that definitively blames the crown prince of saudi arabia for the murder of jamal khashoggi the measure which could be scheduled for a vote as soon as monday condemns kesho g.'s murder demands that the saudi arabian government negotiate an end to the war in yemen and an end to the political dispute with could talk and release saudi blogger rife by dolly and other political prisoners they have now linked old at least that belies ng actions that m.p.'s says they starting with yemen passing by the sharks the murder on took up on any other level it is the latest bipartisan rebuke of the saudi crown prince and president trump support for him we are with saudi arabia we're staying with saudi arabian oil and not look at the king of the same way senators erupted in anger on tuesday after a long awaited briefing from cia director gina haskell sort of hard to call this a cover up given the fact that everybody in that briefing last week knew that tom

pale and madison were misleading us knew that there was no way this murder happened without the consent and direction of m.p.'s in the senate is already considering an unprecedented bill to invoke the never before used one thousand nine hundred seventy three war powers act to force an end to u.s. aid to saudi war efforts and yemen. this six page measure would record the view of the senate that mohammed bin solomon is responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi and it urges the u.s. and the international community to hold him and anyone else involved in the killing responsible and a joint statement democratic senator ed markey calls the crown prince a fuck up and republican senator lindsey graham calls him a wrecking ball rare harsh words for the leader of an allied nation. the resolution phones short of calling for regime change in saudi arabia but whether president trump likes it or not the rift between the u.s. government and its ally of eighty five years has rarely been wider john hendren

al-jazeera washington well lawrence korb is a former assistant secretary of defense and a senior fellow at the center for american progress he says the resolution could lead to toughen measures on saudi arabia i think it's very significant because it's bipartisan you have senator graham was one of the closest people ahd to president trump marco rubio from florida who was also a supporter of and senator young from indiana so those are three are or republicans in addition to having a significant democrats life senator dianne feinstein and what it does it basically says not all of you need a whole lot could show the m.b.'s responsible for killing who show he you have to get a peace treaty in. in yemen and stop the blockade of gutter so it's a very very sweeping resolution i think what will happen is if. this will be

the beginning of a process that if president trump and the saudis don't take action you'll see them now as the legislation now we're bent on sales for example going to saudi arabia that would make it very difficult for them to continue to prosecute the war in yemen if they decide sybase to want to do that well u.s. defense secretary james nasa says he needs more evidence on who is behind jamal khashoggi is that before he points the finger meanwhile istanbul's chief prosecutor is demanding the arrest of two of the crown prince's closest aides mounted valve has more from istanbul. turkey has said it won't let the world forget about the murder of journalist on what is the istanbul chief prosecutor filed a request with the penal court to issue an arrest warrant for two former senior aides to saudi crown prince mohammed bin said his top advisor saudi bonnie and deputy chief of intelligence ahmed siri were removed from their posts by kinks

a man in connection to the murder of. the turkish judiciary now wants them extradited to stand trial in turkey a similar request has already been made for the fifteen members of the hit squad that killed the journalist at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second saudi arabia said it wouldn't hand them over before. until now we have patiently requested information about an investigation in saudi arabia but unfortunately we couldn't get any information in saudi arabia always asks to get information from us so it's their rights we always share information with them but saudi arabia needs to be transparent to us and to the international community they need to share the findings of these investigations but instead we see contradictory statements. cover so blue also reminded the saudis of the need to disclose the whereabouts of remains and to respond to all demands otherwise we will go until the end but if there is an impasse which is an issue we have been seriously contemplating about and talking

with our colleagues in these days we will not hesitate to go for an international investigation on this point turkey has outside support we don't have the mandate to do a criminal investigation so we ask we mentioned to the to the to the secretary general that we thought it was needed a crime and a mistake ation international investigation. these statements the arrest warrants follow an announcement by eight senior u.s. senators about the absolute certainty that saudi crown prince mohammed the order of the killing of the mother based on a cia briefing the likelihood saudi arabia will comply with the new turkish request is beyond the remote's what turkey wants to keep the pressure on saudi arabia and has vowed to never give up until justice is served until the real culprits are brought to account. of the zero on board china's embassy in canada is demanding the release of the chief financial officer of huawei technologies meng

windsor faces extradition to the u.s. on suspicion of violating sanctions on iran she was arrested in bank reaver on saturday way says it's not aware of any wrongdoing by making out china correspondent adrian brown joins me now from beijing adrian this is a hugely high profile arrest of the c.f.o. of an enormous chinese company can you can texture lies this faurisson and what reaction has there been from huawei or indeed the chinese government. well the stars of the company has been commenting a statement was posted on its web site a few hours ago a very mild statement essentially saying that they weren't aware that she had broken any laws they say that they hope that she can be released soon and really portraying someone who is completely innocent but the language coming from the chinese government via the chinese embassy in ottawa her is a lot more hostile their statement says that essentially her human rights were

being harmed and that a chinese citizen has been accused an innocent chinese citizen have been accused of violating laws and they demanded that she be released as soon as possible it's worth pointing out that she is not just any chief financial officer she is the daughter of the founder of a company that is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in china and for some for some context here just last year another chinese telecommunications telecommunications company zed t. was fined one point two billion dollars in the united states for selling its products to iran and north korea now we have this case online they've been quite a bit of chatter on thursday morning on china's equivalent of twitter which is way below one comment said that the united states is shameless another said that canada is the united states dog another post says that we should start arresting u.s.

executives here in china but i think the really big question is this it's the timing because what impact if any of if any really could this have on the on the fragile truce between china and the united states in their current trade war it's certainly not going to improve things i think age and i want to ask you a little more about mang so she's the daughter of the founder of he was also an engineer in the people's liberation army and and in may after. hearing cia director gina haskell said she would never use a while a phone in intelligence agencies in the u.k. australia and new zealand have all expressed concerns about while way of potential links to chinese spying and some of them are banning the use of weiwei equipment and five g. network rollout how much of this is about western countries worrying about chinese intelligence gathering as well as all the technological and trade aspects

well certainly you're correct a number of governments around the world as you mention new zealand australia the united kingdom canada and of course the united states have been taking a very close look at this company because of its links to the chinese government because of the questions that it raises over national security and that is going to be i think really a continuing issue because this company is not any ordinary telecommunications company it is as i say one of the biggest in china and it depends on trade with these companies countries but increasingly it's finding itself locked out of a number of deals deals that it thought had been locked in but then it finds that these governments and companies in those countries backing away from those deals so yes it's going to be i think a cause for potentially more friction certainly between beijing and washington and that will become clear i guess you know in the coming days and weeks adrian brown
