6:02 pm
to finding out the whereabouts of his remains it is clear turkey is growing impatient about what it sees as saudi arabia stalling over our answers president richard type one wants them to extradite the murder suspects to istanbul where the killing took place now the turkish foreign minister is lashing out at european countries accusing them of not doing more to help level cover solo address the darfur and same turkey will not give up on finding the truth as they know how to has the latest from istanbul three months since she was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey continues to accuse saudi arabia of trying to cover up the crime because of its lack of transparency in the investigation turkey is also frustrated with what it sees as an action on the part of the west many european countries who are promoting the freedom of media through freedom of expression are closing their eyes and this country and the politicians you know you see this
6:03 pm
statement putting some sanctions on the people who are already in prison who will never be visiting dos countries the calls are now growing louder for an international investigation what we have said since the beginning is it's absolutely essential to have a credible investigation and to have the punishment of those that were killed turkey has recently said there are discussions about opening an international investigation because a lack of cooperation from saudi arabia is blocking progress present are the one doesn't know that that does not that he can't do to someone he does need the backing up and the full force of the international arena we do see the west trying not to be in wild with this but as we see that we also see president are the one pushing this i'm not letting it go so she's killing sparked international outrage and condemnation but there has been little action against saudi arabia a un in the. would according to experts put more pressure on riyadh but there needs
6:04 pm
to be international political will to the findings of this mission is not binding for both parties so this. shortcoming of this very winding missions are. they need a higher level of cooperation this has this such front cummings has. existed when it comes to the international commission want to enter to do myanmar that has been established by the united nations human rights commission and in myanmar government has refused to enter the country for the investigators a position saudi arabia is likely to take it insists it will handle the case on its soil turkish officials are growing impatient with what they describe as a lack of seriousness on the part of saudi authorities even president pressure tell you a border guard has been more outspoken he used to avoid mentioning mohamed bin sound man by name he has now criticized the saudi crown prince's explanation on
6:05 pm
a stretcher she's killing and accuse those who took an active part in the murder of being his closest aides turkey is not softening its stance but it continues to tread carefully to maintain ties with saudi arabia but pursuing an international investigation would hurt that relationship. as owner joins us live now from istanbul so zain frustration impatience being felt by turkey where are we on this investigation now. well questions remain unanswered the same questions that turkish officials have been asking saudi arabia for weeks now where is she is body who gave the order to kill the saudi journalist so yes turkey is growing impatient and believes that saudi arabia should cooperate more we have to remember saudi arabia's top prosecutor was in istanbul just three weeks after the murder instead of providing information he was asking questions to
6:06 pm
the istanbul top prosecutor in response the istanbul top prosecutor issued information about the investigation even though that the investigation was still open clearly angry at saudi arabia's responses thumble top prosecutor telling the world that what they have established was that. she was immediately suffocated moments after he entered the consulate behind me and that his body was dismembered but a lot of information has been leaked to the pro-government media or the international media by turkish officials simply to put pressure on saudi arabia to cooperate information that shows that this was a premeditated murder even though saudi arabia continues to insist that no it was a rogue operation and the head of the team was the one who decided to to kill she that a team came to prepare for the murder a team came to kill her she and the team came after to try to cover up the crime even the president himself a few days ago talking about the much talked about audio recordings saying that
6:07 pm
those who are closest to the saudi crown prince were played an active role in the murder so a lot of information on what turkish investigators have but a lot of questions that saudi arabia continues not to answer. then a thanks very much then a hard ally for us there in istanbul let's speak now to a smom said who is at the form he is the director of the anchor institute and served as a media advisor to wretched when when he was prime minister thanks very much and thanks very much for being with us now in the first few weeks after the murder of jamal khashoggi we were seeing in the turkish media this kind of drip drip feed of information on the investigation about what they thought had happened we've seen a lot less of that in the last few days and we've seen more more. stepping up of the rhetoric from from turkish government officials is there a sense that turkey has kind of used up all its cards now in terms of of putting on
6:08 pm
any pressure that it can on saudi arabia. it is not an easy issue and turkey is trying to keep a very delicate balance to just going after what what happened to mr cheer as you have sat two key. just had two important targets during the process one is just keeping the pressure up momentum is high and india at the same time just keeping the issue isn't a legal thing another political drift between turkey and the saudi arabia but turkey is that you have saddle you know use so many cars on it but it is already exhausted the cages it was given the was recording of how mr kushner was killed inside the saudi consulate and that is the whole thing that is just just keeping just making this very clear that who had committed this crime who is responsible from this and the american. in the senate made the decision on that they did the
6:09 pm
other left thing is just after this leakages prime ministers or president the foreign ministers speeches and statements just trying to keep the pressure up you know but at the end of the day if turkey is left alone against old europe be a turkey probably wouldn't prefer to go alone because it is not so easy for turkey to keep up either the political support from the american congress or don't make an illustration is special from the european countries it should be done otherwise it would be so difficult for turkey to go after until the bottom so are they expecting more than from the u.s. side in terms of what they. can do here and given as well that turkey has a lot invested in a relationship with washington. yes of course but you know. if you expect everything from the washington from trump administration it won't be so easy to push this case for because the american congress although the taken
6:10 pm
a very bold step against. man and a against the what happened in the case but the europeans also should be in the game look at what happened to during the g twenty summit even mr trump is the number one champion of relations with m.b.a.'s was hesitant to come together woods. you know the french president was advising m.b.a.'s how to handle the crime during the g. twenty summit the british prime minister to resume was getting together with them yes the nordic countries they are the champion of human rights in the freedom works for its mission they are lost in silence only do misuse michael was acting on it but he chooses leaving the post and that's why if you we all talk to stone the americans i think it will be not easy and a common action a common decision should be taken to support the turkish case and they do you turkey shouldn't be left alone against saudi arabia as if it is not a legal case but a political problem between turkey and saudi arabia. good

6:12 pm
trip or one for mine at the european union is warning turkey about a possible turkish military operation in the northern city of men which in syria the eve use vice president frederica mazarine said that we share the goal of ending the violence defeating terrorism and promoting stability in syria and the wider region we expect the turkish authorities therefore to refrain from any unit lateral action likely to determine the efforts of the counter dash coalition or to risk further instability in syria and her remarks come after her remarks come after turkish president richard type of once threat to remove kurdish fighters in man because if the us does not do one says turkey is determined to bring peace to the area east of the euphrates river in syria turkey in the united
6:13 pm
states have long been at odds over syria where the us has backed the y.p. g in the fight against isis turkey considers them terrorists that is that it is to go. and that you cleans the area and remove them or else we will into men bitch i'm speaking clearly. tooky has lost enough time to intervene into the terra swamp in the east of the euphrates. that turkey's threats against the syrian kurds risks raising the strained already strained relations further between turkey and the united states but earlier when and u.s. president donald trump reportedly spoke on friday and agreed to more effectively coordinate their military operations in syria or iran which has been under the control of the us back since they captured it from i saw after a long siege in two thousand and sixteen they have consolidated control over a considerable region in the north something turkey does not accept. i speak now
6:14 pm
to sandman schaffer who is at the doha forum he is the c.e.o. of the consulting firm the schiff group thanks very much for being with us so. as far as the did the comments then from president early when and others in the turkish government about wanting to go after the why p.g. in is this i mean how serious are they about this is this just a lot of bluster for public consumption or is there more to it than that. you know i think the serious they were serious about driverless they were serious about a free and they moved in. i think now they feel that particularly washington hasn't been listening hard enough and it's time to up the ante so i think they've got the forces prepared and we've been hearing about this for a while but they have prepared and prepared quite well and they're prepared now to go across the city freighters i still think there is
6:15 pm
a possibility that washington and i encourage can find a way forward and they really do need to because i don't think as you heard from the small greeny no one no one wants more trouble in syria and an escalation in the conflict at a time when we're trying to reduce yeah how problematic is the whole issue of man beach in syria and the area around it and how it fits into the larger conflict in syria. well mom bijan isn't a strategic place it's on the west side of the euphrates but and it's taken too long really to get the agreement the turks thought they had with the americans and that was particular to do with the y.p. g. forces now they are moving forward there is supposed to be soon i think a civil and a military council and of course that's why the turks including the foreign minister here earlier at the doha forum talked about the man bija road map which is
6:16 pm
basically based on the principle of local governance and local security backed up and it's absolutely crucial it has to be backed up by turkish and u.s. guarantees the hope is that can be replicated all across the north and east of syria east of the euphrates river valley where we've heard in the dialogue that we're doing between arabs and kurds there is a fair amount of dissatisfaction with the level of inclusiveness of the governance the distribution of resources and even the space for civil society a local civil society to take root. the issue though is that they did the kurds the kurdish fighters in syria the y p g s e as seen as the most effective in repel an i saw its presence in syria reducing their presence there and we heard. we were quoting federica mazarine there referring to that referring to them as
6:17 pm
dashed which is the alternative name for them so they do have to have value certainly to the us in that respect. they do but we've sort of tied ourselves up in knots we have to remember that the arab kurdish relations in the north east of syria are very finely balanced always have been they call themselves cousins but if if they're on balance it can often lead to conflict and it's not just millionaires and kurds it between kurds and kurds as well with regard to the y.p. do you know the why p.g. have proven themselves to be strong fighters with u.s. support but we've now reached a point where actually continuing to support just one small one of the parties one of the kurdish parties on the military side is actually now threatening to create a new conflict in instead of instability so in fact if that doesn't run it will give fresh opportunities today. and and their followers in eastern
6:18 pm
syria that is why ultimately i think we need to find some sort of a negotiated dialogue filled solution whereby which. all right unfortunately as you can see we have lost our connection there to sandman shift but him talking to assert just looking at the map there of syria who controls what you can take a closer look at that on our website there is color coded map there with all the details and that is on al jazeera dot com puts it all into perspective for you what state there. now it wasn't easy but nearly two hundred nations have reached a consensus on the steps they have to take to fight climate change what they agreed on in poland was a set of rules essential in more than one hundred pages of them each country has detailed how it will monitor their national pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions
6:19 pm
and how there are those emissions plans in the years ahead because six say it's not radical enough to address the climate crisis mariana han takes us through the details you need to know. and a great set of rolls may not sound very exciting but without them the hard fought for climate accord in paris three years ago was in danger of not being implemented at all it is so decide. every single nation one hundred ninety six of them managed to set aside their differences and agree to it in poland by any measure that's a major achievement. the rulebook sits out how countries disclose their greenhouse gas emissions every nation has to do it everyone can see what the others are doing and that transparency translates into greater trust it sits out the rules by which we measure what's pumped into the atmosphere not everyone's been working by the
6:20 pm
same definitions or timeframes plus there's a system to measure the impact of a country's policies against the science the rule book also sits out of compliance make an ism to ensure everyone is doing what they say they are doing plus it offers flexibility to meet the different needs of developed and developing countries but there are problems when it comes to helping global warming the world climate scientists agree the pledges made three years ago in paris just don't go far enough . on our current greenhouse gas emissions will hit one point five degrees celsius and around twelve years and saw past three degrees by twenty one hundred the head of the un antonio good tennis champion new tougher climate pledges those were parked for another day and countries just can't seem to quit dirty energy.
6:21 pm
there was anger when the united states and poland promoted the use of coal on the sidelines of the cop twenty four giving and global c o two emissions are up for the second year in a row. a sitter of rules agreed by all nation. it's not to be dismissed and the text sits out the way forward the countries to commit to tougher emissions targets at a later date but as it stands it's just not enough to prevent irreversible damage to our planet within decades all right well let's speak now to jennifer morgan in quetta he'd say in poland where that summit took place via skype she's the executive director of greenpeace international thanks so much for being with us now i know your one of those who feels that a lot more could have been done here than what was actually agreed to tell us why well i think you know the rulebook certainly is important but we're seeing impacts
6:22 pm
that are happening now in just one degree rise of temperature if you think about the storms and the fires and the droughts and the world has been experiencing so we had expected that there would be much more commitment of countries to increase their actual action and what they're doing and unfortunately they didn't come and do that and what do you think that was well i think it's a few things i think partially there's a lack of leadership right now in the negotiations and i think that domestically countries are listening more to the corporate interests that have an interest of continuing to use fossil fuels when extensively instead of the students that we heard of that were at the conference center as well so if as you say leaders are dragging their feet on all of this and there are political agendas getting in the way what can individuals do what can businesses do. to to it to address this.
6:23 pm
well the good news is is that actually it's cheaper to go clean into renewable energy and energy efficiency so businesses should be committing to switch their energy and move away from coal clean up their whole supply chains and be looking at how to reduce emissions getting to a zero emissions i meant century and people can make such a difference not only in what they buy and how they get around but also just engaging in this debate leaders need to hear from their citizens whether it be at the local or the national level that they care about and they want a different much more stable pathway and future than the one that we're on right now so what happens next then when we looked up twenty five well there's a couple stops on the way first of all in september the secretary general has invited all heads of state to go to new york to actually announce what more they're
6:24 pm
going to do and how they're going to increase their targets and then they'll come back a year later and negotiate other details but it really is about national action right now in getting those policies and measures put into place good to speak with you jennifer morgan thanks so much for being with us thank you now in order to cut down on carbon emissions that we all have to rethink the way we use natural resources one initiative in hong kong is working to transform the city's waste into sustainable building materials southpark reports. its versatility and strength have helped it survive for centuries here in hong kong it's three times faster to build than steel and costs a fraction of the price but the lows that each pole can only be used once every year five million poles end up in landfills with landfills at capacity the government has started a campaign to recycle the most important job that we are doing here to promote
6:25 pm
reduction at tsotsis so if we can do without it we instill in them a culture of less and save more at ease and save more resources. that we all our next generation around fifty tons of used bamboo has been collected so far this year as well as public workshops design is being invited to use old poles to create new products showcasing this ancient material in a modern life we already know everything we should pressing we're going to launch after we launch the shoes we launched even allat like the fish at the titian is made up of. better has always had a reputation of being a temporary structure here in hong kong it's mainly used as scaffolding but it's more sustainable in timber and twice as strong as steel and it's increasingly being championed by architect as a move viable alternative in construction. oh search team at the chinese university
6:26 pm
of hong kong used techniques based on cantonese bamboo scaffolding craftsmanship to design this four storey high pavilion it's one of fifteen international architectural awards the team also wants to promote its environmental footprint is that when you have all natural results with the ecological push really becoming urgent you start to see that people have regained interest in this material and a lot of research labs across the globe are starting to study it and see how it can be used in architecture based on its sustainability it's not surprising that the product market is growing rapidly bamboo being used to make everything from bottles to flooring even bikes i think it's really really been a major boost for bamboo. to highlight bunbury was such a sustainable resource that we can actually use much the same patience that's helped revive the bamboo industry and change traditional mindsets as well as put
6:27 pm
a price tag on what was once considered waste stair clock al-jazeera hong kong. now through our call twenty four there been demonstrations around the war around the world saw a high that is here to tell us about a protest held in australia to protect animals those a few actually that were happening in the world famous theme park sea world was forced to cancel two of its dolphin shows last ratings gold coast because of a protest. activists from the justice for captives group interrupted the show to demonstrate against the animals being held in the park initially now seen will temporarily stop the show that's all to some of the protesters and of the water it canceled it altogether cites the safety reasons from its dolphin and animals. and the police made several arrests and there were a few come from taishan as well the crowd seemed rather unhappy with some parents and their children during the protest and

that are being read on our web site number one how britain stolt forty five trillion dollars from india number two un calling for a credible probe into the. story we told you about earlier it's all on our website i just want to talk. thousand plenty of talk in the u.k. over the past few days about a second referendum on bragg's it but despite all the chatter britain's government says that's not going to happen prime minister to resign may arrive home empty handed off to two days of talks in brussels she was hoping for more concessions to appease m.p.'s back home who are concerned about the part of the deal the focus is on the border between arland a northern ireland sonia guy hugo has more from london. further reports in the sunday papers today indicate that her second in command in effect david leading to a senior cabinet minister has been meeting with opposition ministers to try and see
6:36 pm
if there is anything to be done or to argue for a second referendum a so-called people's vote into really where the british public want to take this and that for some opposition ministers is the only way to go forward in trying to resolve this debate the fundamental difference i think between now and when we last had this referendum on the e.u. is that we will have to fix specified propositions that is the key thing in terms of the harbor so i think people realise that you cannot have your cake and eat it now but even though those arguments have been put forward by even members of her own party there have been strenuous denials about this not least from reason may's own trade secretary liam fox who the division in the country this will not humid in the country perpetuates the division in the country the second objection is democratic parliament said to the public we can't make a decision on this you make a decision and we will take instruction from that meanwhile this continues to drag
6:37 pm
on even the former prime minister tony blair making the case for a second referendum was angrily rebutted by the prime minister saying that it was really quite a damaging argument to make and proving to be even more divisive so really there is shorter and shorter time with which to resolve this issue whether that issue of the second referendum will gather any continuous support on the for the british public as well is another matter that will be resolved bartz as has been said so many times in this debate time is running out. now the fishing industry has found itself in the heart of the brig's a debate the u.k. hopes to secure so rights to fish in its territorial waters but denmark on the other side the north sea is opposing that for land spec has more from the danish harbor town of two border. much of the fish alfred fisk hangs he brings home in the middle of the night is cut far from denmark shores it's

from near the east of scotland where his family has been fishing for generations this is dutch waters this is here with all those the snow with their orders for this is the bridges so. the bricks if you mean european boats are no longer permitted to enter british waters where danish fishermen say they catch about forty percent of their fish when they face the lower where the border is actually uses so some years they're in the norwegian so some years they're in the british so and so we're so small fish in the danish so that they have a tendency to move don't care about politics. the fishing industry has found itself at the heart of the proxy battle used as a symbol for everything that taking back control would be about during the two thousand and sixteen campaign but a few years later that promises turned out to be a huge obstacle in negotiations. that left coastal communities who depend on
6:39 pm
fishing fearing for their livelihoods. i think where catastrophic for we we can't we can't live without access to this water it will be kind of tough for birth of our come community. british goals to take back control of their waters after breck's it don't make sense to these fishermen as they say they've been fishing around the north sea even before the european union existed. sanzio a type of fish historically and almost exclusively caught by danish fisherman in waters after u.k. is brought to this factory here it's processed into fish meal and oil providing hundreds of jobs and this makes the act good if not the biggest in the world is one of the biggest in the world with a huge capacity and so on and it is a knowledge that when the bin not good enough the people you know think the year so far because it's a great importance for the people here in. denmark and other e.q.
6:40 pm
members want a deal between the european union and the u.k. that recognizes the historical rights of their fleet to fish in british waters they've been insisting on a trade off if the u.k. bars others from their waters they want to allow the british to sell fish freely in the e.u. markets where most of us goes to now there's a balance here we need to think about if you want to have access to markets you also still need to be able to communicate with people and have a fair discussion about things a final decision on who will be permitted to fish where has been deferred until further negotiations between the u.k. and the e.u. that could take years leaving fishing communities on both sides of the nurses on the hook i fear announced but al-jazeera to get on denmark. the u.s. state department says it is planning to renegotiate a deal that until now has prevented the removal of vietnamese nationals who entered
