so we'll see. the entrance to the city was horrific they killed people in the streets in their houses and in. the crusade and perspective the sold one shot at this time on a just. in a rare outburst saudi arabia condemns the us senate for accusing the crown prince of jamal khashoggi. hello welcome to our jazeera live from doha i'm martine that is also coming out. to dance president bashir becomes the first arab leader to go to syria since the conflict began in twenty in the.

thousands of on hunger ariens protests against prime minister all bans labor reforms the slave class. and were in the air refugee camp by the million border find out next time this temporary shelter has become the fourth largest town in mauritania. saudi arabia has denounced a u.s. senate resolution which blames the crown prince for ordering the murder of john this jamal khashoggi in a statement released by the state news agency the kingdom's foreign ministry calls a resolution a blatant interference in its internal affairs and it warns that the senate's move could affect its relationship with. on thursday the republican controlled senate voted to hold mohammed bin sound man personally responsible for the saudi

journalists murder and another a resolution also calls for an end to washington's military support for the riyadh led war in yemen. and canada's prime minister says his country is looking for a way to back out of an arms deal with saudi arabia just in today is demanding answers cooling the murder of jamal khashoggi unacceptable he said canada is trying to see if they can no longer export trucks as part of a thirteen billion dollar deal made by the previous government relations between also and riyadh have been tense since a diplomatic dispute over human rights in the kingdom so candid as ambassador expelled earlier this year at the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning had been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract signed by steven harper to export light armored

vehicles to saudi arabia we are engaged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia. well here with me in. the land he's director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies thank you very much for joining us marwan first of all let's have a look at this statement how rare how unprecedented if if that's indeed the right word is it for the saudi foreign minister to release a statement like this with actually we're expecting that sort of reaction by the saudis because they're unanimous condemnation by the u.s. senate for the current prince. holding him responsible for the murder of jamal how shocked he was a very strong step indeed by the u.s. congress in fact we were expecting something to come out from saudi arabia because this is where he was the most challenging the more serious crisis the relationship between the saudis and the americans saudi arabia and the united states in fact and

even its more even more worse than disciplined by eleven attacks on. the twin towers. fifteen years ago so actually this is something that is really serious and is really big in the relationship between the two countries so what does this tell us the fact that this statement is being relayed really it was about interference based upon quote untrue allegations what does this tell us about the amount of heat that the saudi authorities are actually feeling as a result of this worldwide condemnation saluted the heat is tremendous in my opinion i mean the saudis the may have not actually anticipated this at the very beginning of the thought that this will just go away as time passes because the strategy was buying as much time as possible so that this case might just go away or diet or the media actually sees focusing on this issue about saudi arabia has in fact become part of this conflict domestic conflict in the united states between

the u.s. administration that on one hand and the congress on the other hand and i think that is something that's are with these they did not actually realize at the very beginning this is why it's becoming very serious. now everybody talks about the strategic importance of this relationship between riyadh and washington and yet you've seen various outspoken senators particularly lindsey graham of course actually saying point blank that the dependence is on the part of riyadh in that riyadh needs washington much more than the other way round what exactly is the nature of the relationship i mean there is this sort of strategic relationship between the two economies but this strategic relation all saw coming. is subject to change if you can board if we can build that relationship to lift twenty or thirty years ago it was in might be in a much more strategic than it is now why because the united states was very much dependent on saudi oil on oil coming from the gulf region today the united states

is the biggest we have the largest oil producer in the world is it even produces more all those saudi arabia itself so saudi arabia is not actually because of oil is becoming really important to the americans it's because of other things maybe. because maybe for your arm because of the peace process in the middle east but not actually because of the main that was the main bill out of the relationship between saudi arabia and the united states from the very beginning since one nine hundred forty five the first meeting between king abdul-aziz the founder of saudi arabia and president. franklin roosevelt of the united states. the formal security for all is no longer absolutely they are what we do know currently today is that saudi arabia is dependent upon weapons exports from its western allies particularly the united states and the united kingdom so how much of a threat is it to its stability and the way it conducts itself actually is it is set of reduction if not suspension of arms exports notably from justin trudeau in

canada the germans and various other smaller nations is this a big threat to riyadh absolutely perhaps this is what lindsey graham. meant actually. and he said we need us more than we need them because he was very aware that the security of saudi arabia depends very much on the united states and that saudi arabia would always need the united states in order to defend itself against version of threats and he also mentioned. the large arms port cheeses by saudi arabia don't forget that saudi arabia is the third largest defense spender and the world after the united states and china saudi arabia spends even more than russia on and last year alone saudi arabia was the largest arms bio's anywhere in the world so the saudi arabia realizes really very much from the united states and they want to see it i mean and they're stunned and realize that very well so i think here where the americans could really put pressure on the saudis

specially with the coming of the congress when the when the call the new congress starts in in january i think they will go for it after the after saudi arabia in terms of trying to impose sanctions on arms but chooses to saudi arabia that's going to affect the saudis very much. thank you very much indeed thank you well turkey has accused european countries of turning a blind eye to that murder the murder of. the u.n. secretary general antonio he knew his call for a credible investigation a saudi journalist was killed inside the kingdom's istanbul consulate on october the second that the harder reports now from istanbul. it's been almost 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 for freedom of expression are closing their eyes and this country and the politicians you know you see this statement putting some sanctions on the people who are already in prison who will never be visiting dos countries 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 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 this alone 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 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 international political will. findings of this mission is not binding for both parties so this the shortcoming of these very winding missions are. the 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 and through 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 russia 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 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 senator al jazeera is stumble. germany's former foreign minister has told al-jazeera that more countries should follow berlin's example by ending arms trade with saudi arabia sigma gabriel is still a member of the german parliament was attending this year's doha forum we stopped for example or delivering of defense of defense materials and capabilities after the crash case when you look at an investigation that hasn't even accounted for

where a journalist body is after he's gone in the consulate. many people say that's simply not an acceptable vesting of course it's not acceptable and i mean it's also a tragedy we should not forget there are relatives because she had a family and i mean the killing of mystical shogi is a catastrophe but it's for the family and the relatives is. a very bad situation that they are not even able to bury the body and to have a place where they can can go to so it for me it's also it's not only a political question it's also a question of humanity do you think the world will ever believe that n.b.s. was not responsible for that killing in europe everybody thinks that there is a certain kind of responsibility i don't know if it's personal order or people

thought that it could be his wish it's an open discussion in europe but everybody things that it will not that the case will not be organized like an accident you can see the full interview with germany's former foreign minister sigma gabriel on top to al-jazeera on monday that's today at three thirty greenwich mean time and of course you can see it online as well. now at least twelve people have died twenty others try to five others have been wounded in violence around yemen's port city of the days are. the rebels and saudi backed government forces have been fighting in and around the city throughout the weekend a u.n. brokered cease fire is due to come into effect on tuesday the data process is around seventy percent of the country's food and other imports. sudan's president
