and we meet the musicians in holding on to their musical roots as they try to keep the thousand years of tradition alive. now new pictures have emerged on turkish media showing the fifteen men suspected of murdering saudi journalist. the images are said to show the men arriving at the istanbul airport in the saudi consulate before and after her show g.'s killing in october saudi arabia has rejected ankara's request to extradite the suspects earlier this week the u.n. secretary general has renewed his call for a credible investigation into the case and the responsible must be punished. for more on this let's cross over live to sin and cos arlo she's live for us in this

stumbles so first of all what do these pictures tell us. well some of these pictures actually show us that this fifteen member hit squad which killed. inside saudi consulate in istanbul it shows clearly what time they entered in istanbul airports with their private jets what time they entered inside the consulate what time they moved from const late to the consulate residence which is a very close to the consulate building itself and there is there are actually the pictures have been released before but now we have some new pictures from the same venue from the same place from exact the same timing with some other angles and with other members of the hit square and the pictures seem to be much clearer of course these pictures these pictures have been and a lot have been analyzed by the turkish security officials since jamal khashoggi

was killed on october the second then according to the information given by the same mistake medion of the légion see there were one hundred forty seven security cameras in aid to different points across stumble where those people actually traveled moved to those days were examined by the technical analysts and the duration of the recordings was actually three thousand five hundred hours so turkish security tech security experts and technical analysts have been going through each detail at this point that it's been more than two years of the smirk there but the investigation it's shows that the investigation is still underway with every details i think given that it's been two months of this investigation and why is this being or why is this emerging right now. well sammy you know

turkey had such a policy i mean old the crime see it all the details of the crime scene actually was leaked to the turkish in international media especially about the tape recordings tape recordings which had the voices of those saudi hits men killing damascus shook the inside the consulate of course now all of the crime scene investigation is kind of is actually finished completed but of course there are some missing parts for instance when turkish investigators went inside the consulates residency building and they weren't they were they were actually bought banned from doing a search in a well inside the consulate residence so there are some missing points there are some places that needs to be searched again by the turkish investigators but says it is this investigation is an ongoing also that international public opinion is

opinion is in the process as well because there must be some international investigations to bellard this is what the turkish officials have been saying it's taken time and there was a kind of inertia so these pictures are important because it proves that turkey is still off there this investigation of and turkey is still trying to figure out every details of proof evidence that those fifteen people were the actual perpetrators of this killing and it was a preplanned murder sammy friend so much so of course solver. yemen's warring parties are accusing each other of breaching a fragile ceasefire in port city of data choose day it was the first day of the truce there were four explosions in and around the city it's not clear who was behind the blast though who three rebels and the internationally recognized yemeni government which is backed by the saudi america coalition agreed to the cease fire in sweden last week the u.n. plans to deploy forces to her data to ensure both sides of true to their word.

three power brokers of the syrian conflict have failed to agree on the makeup of a committee that would draft a new constitution for the country and pave the way for elections the foreign ministers of russia iran and turkey met the outgoing un special envoy for syria in geneva staffan de mistura sent to brief the secretary general later on wednesday byrne and smith has more the best of the foreign ministers of turkey russia and iran could come up with was a commitment to agree to take efforts aimed at convening the first session of the syrian constitutional committee here in geneva early next year but there is still no indication on exactly who the hundred fifty members of that constitutional committee are going to be because of this meeting these three countries overlooked by the u.n. special envoy stephan to restore it when i were unable to agree on the final fifteen members of the committee there are fifty from the syrian regime fifty from

opposition groups but this other fifty there's been a lot of haggling on who should be on this committee and who shouldn't be on this committee and they clearly haven't been able to agree the final names it was perhaps particularly for straightening for staff and in this story because as he spoke to the press here this evening this was his last statement to the press will report to the u.n. secretary general but he's leaving the post and handing over to a norwegian in the new year. after days of impasse the u.s. president donald trump has backed down on his demand five billion dollars to build a border war he wants to avoid a partial government shutdown funding for several agencies expires on friday failure to agree on a budget could see more than eight hundred thousand government workers sent home without pay just before christmas mike hanna reports from washington d.c. well a week ago president trump said he would be proud to shutdown the government should he not get the five billion dollars for his border wall in the budget however he

now appears to be retreating from this rather extreme position indications are that they are other avenues for raising the funds being explored this is what the white house press secretary had to say we're looking at every avenue available to us possible the president's asked every one of his cabinet secretaries to look for funding that can be used and to protect our borders and for that to give the president the ability to fulfill his constitutional obligation to protect the american people the having a secure border but a shutdown still not averted democrats of turned down a compromise republican offer of a one point five billion dollar amount for border security not the wall but democratic leader nancy pelosi says this would amount to giving president trump a one billion dollars slush fund as she put it but neither side of the aisle once a shutdown just before christmas and most observers believe that there will be some

kind of short term extension agreed on. a judge in the u.s. has delayed sentencing president trump's former national security adviser michael flynn the cases of the investigation into possible collusion between trump's campaign and russia during the two thousand and sixteen election but they call him reports from washington d.c. . that's the phrase he coined laugher up following michael flynn as he enters federal court. after all is a key campaign adviser to donald trump this was his line baccarat that's right. here. but now it's not the president's past political opponent but flynn himself facing time behind bars because he got paid by turkey during the campaign and didn't disclose it and he lied to the f.b.i. about his contacts with the russians the judge not holding back his disgust or disdain he told flynn he sold out his country and even asked why he wasn't being

charged with treason when it was clear flynn was likely facing much more than the zero to six months recommended by the prosecution the judge gave flynn more time to cooperate mr flynn could have just said i want to be sentenced now the reason why he didn't because he expected the judge to throw him into the slammer for a while. and he must of thought in my judgment that there were additional things that he could contribute to the mall or investigation or other companion investigations otherwise the additional delay isn't going to do him any good at the white house the president and his spokesman continue to defend their former national security adviser by blaming the people who investigated him what we do know that was inappropriate by our own self admitted it's of james comey is that the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in a way that they came in and ambushed and roll flan in the way that they flush in him or the term supporters have been arguing that. and was set up by the f.b.i.

but in court flynn himself admitted that wasn't true. and after hearing from the judge it's clear the next time he returns to court a man who once could walk into the oval office could be leaving in handcuffs michael flynn locked up. washington one of the world's biggest stock offerings has made a disappointing debut on the markets japanese tech giant softbank call it hope to raise twenty four billion dollars by listing its mobile telecoms units. for the chair price fourteen percent on its first day of trading on the tokyo stock exchange the company wants to become a major investor in technology start ups some analysts blame a recent nationwide service outage and softbank ties to chinese telecoms company while way for the disappointing stance. is

a professor at the management of the school of management rather and information at the university of he believes investors are questioning soft banks growth strategy . i would be a little sympathetic considering the fact the market itself environment had been very bad as you seen in the united states in japan following that i mean u.k. has reaches nine month low and december alone the market has dropped by six percent and that sense it was a very very weak environment to start out with i think one real big worry amongst the larger investors are that this musical chair game that you know softbank and playing on a growth after growth after growth expansion after expansion their own worried when the music will stop it hasn't and they've been working out quite eloquently but if you look at the external environment of the telecommunications side in japan for example the mobile carrier i would say contract has dropped the growth is

definitely winding down on top of it you've got the conventional competition from n.t.p. docomo and caveat and also a new competition come from iraq and so the environment itself where it's maturing and you've got the pressure from the competition and you've got the government basically trying to lower the price so you have quite a lot of pressure surrounding this industry as a whole. still to come on al-jazeera attempts by the democratic republic of congo to simplify its upcoming election appeared to be causing more confusion a tense calm returns than i thought i was but the anger that spawned months of protests is still hanging in the air. hello again welcome back well here across the philippines we are looking at some better conditions to the north but that's not going to last too long not is the clouds are moving here across the central portions of the country and as we go from
