7:03 pm
not to be in wild with this but as we see that we also see president are the one pushing this and not letting it go so she's killing sparked international outrage and condemnation but there has been little action against saudi arabia a un investigation would according to experts put more pressure on riyadh but there needs to be is to national political. findings of this mission is not binding for both parties so this the shortcoming of this very winding missions are. they need a higher level of cooperation this has this such cummings has. existed when it comes to the international commission want to enter to myanmar that has been established by the united. human rights commission and. romans 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
7:04 pm
soil turkish officials are growing impatient with what they describe as a lack of seriousness on the part of saudi authorities even president reza tell you border guard has been more outspoken he used to ovoid mentioning muhammad bin so man by name he has now criticized the saudi crown prince's explanation on a 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 and for their al-jazeera istanbul. summit turkey's foreign minister also revealed the president is present at the g twenty that he's working to actually write for to do lend turkey accuses the u.s. space preacher of orchestrating the twenty sixteen failed coup perpetrator of the attempted coup at the leader of this terrorist organization still in the united
7:05 pm
states but recently i have seen the credible investigation of the f.b.i. in several states and they have actually seen or not is the darkness of this organization and how they have been while eating the u.s. laws including tax fraud these are for all and also some other illegal activities and how professional they are well last time we met in bonus earners the president trump told everyone that they have been working on that but we need to see concrete steps or let's get more on this story now from rob reynolds who's in washington and rob what have u.s. officials been saying about the extradition of good plan. well there's been no official response to the turkish foreign minister's comments in doha mario but it's worth pointing out that when president trump was asked just
7:06 pm
a month ago whether the united states would extradite for to look go into turkey he denied it he said that is not under consideration and in any event even if as we know the turkish president erda one and trump have had telephone chats since that point it's our it's meeting and even if one was able to convince trump to change his mind it's not as easy as that for trump to simply order google and to be extradited from the united states there's a he there's a process and he has certain rights and rob take us through the legal process involved in accident and if this was a toll a possibility how would it what well prefacing my remarks by saying that i'm not a lawyer but there is a treaty between the united states and turkey allowing for extradition. now goulet
7:07 pm
is a. legal resident of the united states so he's not a united states citizen but he would have the right to due process in other words to have hearings before an administrative law judge to mount a defense against extradition and so forth in addition there is a provision in this nine hundred seventy nine extradition treaty between the turkey in the united states called the. excuse me called the political offense exception and that simply boils down to if the offenses alleged by turkey are of considered to be of a political nature then extradition may not be granted now there are exemptions to the exemption in in some cases if the acts alleged are involving attacks against civilians then this political exemption can be waived but
7:08 pm
it be difficult to prove that google them had committed such acts of attacks on against civilians in turkey will since he has not set foot in that country for about eighteen years and finally if the united states were in the course of investigation as the turkish foreign minister alluded to possibly to find some illegal activity had been conducted by if it till a girl and him and his associates in the united states such as tax fraud such as visa fraud there would have to be a trial and then if he were convicted of those illegal act it would be much more easy for him to be expelled from the country to be deported to turkey but all of this would take time and again i want to stress that it's not something that president trump can simply snap his fingers and order google him to be put on a plane and sent back to ankara now that's right thank you very much rob randall
7:09 pm
