saudi consulate before and after killing in october saudi arabia has rejected turkey's request to extradite the suspects for trial earlier this week the u.n. secretary general renewed his call for what he called a credible investigation into the case he said those responsible must be punished more on this let's cross live to sin emco solo in istanbul. and why why are we hearing about these pictures now. well how's of you know it's been a very long time it's been more than seventy days that damascus lost his life in saudi consulate right behind me and the crime scene investigations have been completed there were search warrants for the turkish investigations team searches done inside the consulate and the consulate residence of course there are some gaps because the purpose the search warrants were provided very late for the turkish

1:04 pm
jamal for shuji the new pictures are actually mostly from the same venue of the same people but from different angles because these are from different cameras at the very same point and this is very important for not only for turkey but also for the fate of the destiny of the investigation because right now everybody is waiting for an international investigation to be launched by the international institutions like the u.n. to european court of human rights and this is what turkey's foreign minister a minister has emphasized for the last couple of. weeks that a credible investigation must be allowance but it currently i can say that there is an inertia there is that there is a stagnant and the in the phase in the pace of the investigation ongoing these pictures are really of now maybe it like a repetition of the previous pictures but this shows that turkey is the term and to go after this investigation turned into an indictment and it shows that turkey is

want to shut down the government and as for the idea of what sarah sanders huckabee says they could get war money from nafta or some other. part of the government they need congressional approval they're not getting it for the war plain and simple. our mike hanna reports now on more this from washington. 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 implications 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 give the president
1:07 pm
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 an activist who is facing deportation from the u.s. is taking up the fight for asylum seekers he's organizing an army of volunteers to help people the president is trying to stop from entering the country kristen salumi has moved from new york city. people have the right to seek asylum in the united states they are volunteers members of the clergy students and veterans

expression. and hope for the best some opposition leaders and civil society groups fear the south korean voting machines being used for the first time here could be manipulated to wreak the election. people across the country have never seen this machine and that's why we're all worried they're asking what shall we how will we know if we're being cheated some in their areas are not even seen as money on the place i'm concerned the election is already set up for dispute and violence the electoral commission says the process is fairly simple and takes about a minute one hundred five thousand machines are being installed in eighty thousand polling stations a logistical nightmare for africa second largest country with bad druids limited electricity poor security and any demick in the us on top of a fire in the capital is causing controversy both in materials are still being

first one of the world's biggest stock market flotations in japan has flopped. the share price of softbank fell fourteen percent as the telecoms company made its debut on the tokyo stock exchange softbank hope to raise twenty four billion dollars but investors were not impressed analysts blamed the disappointing start on network glitches and links with china's telecoms company. the university professor seijiro takeshita says 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 nikkei has reaches nine month low and december alone the market has dropped by six percent and
1:18 pm
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 the south bank i'm playing on a growth after growth after growth expansion after expansion they're all 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 entity docomo and kitty and also 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. world leaders vie for a say in europe's energy market one country is caught in the middle denmark's
1:19 pm
consent is required before the final section of a controversial russian pipeline can be completed but opinion there is divided flourless for reports from copenhagen. a new pipeline which could double the amount of gas russia delivers directly to germany has kept world leaders busy arguing if europe might become too dependent on russia so about thirty thousand pipes here in carson but in this harbor down in sweden near the danish border where departure stuart the economic benefits of the pipeline construction outweigh the concerns i have a course on the people here in karl's home think it's a great idea they're happy with it it creates a lot of jobs but in the rest of sweden they're afraid and they said if you let the russians into your harbor the pipeline is divided europe and its allies into those who are for and those against in september u.s. president donald trump criticize germany over the plan and germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change
1:20 pm
course the twelve hundred kilometer route runs under the baltic sea the pipeline will be able to supply to european markets giving russian alternative to bypass existing pipelines running through ukraine with which it has poor relations poland and the baltic states are against a project saying it will damage their economies and leave them vulnerable to russia the pipeline cries permission from scandinavian countries as it will pass through their international waters feelin's and sweden have already agreed but denmark the last country to approve is hesitant we have been pressured from all thought and we are very small countries russia have been more and more aggressive they have annexed crimea. actually waging war as we say against ukraine and then actually also building up militarily against the baltic states were one about dearest and closest friends denmark. need to guess its energy policy calls for self-sufficiency by the year two thousand and fifty but it doesn't want to damage
1:21 pm
relations with its neighboring countries either this is one of the major foreign policy decisions since the cold war it is because it will somehow signal if we belong still belong to the american camp or we are more you pee in german following germany so therefore it's it's a very important decision politicians in denmark are looking to brussels for an agreement that she'll start country against the critics of the pipeline with their skinny navy never supporting the project they feel left alone in this decision and their response has been to play for time tired of waiting the company building the pipeline has proposed a different route that runs just outside danish territorial waters where a commercial project is a highway of gas that is going to secure europe with a supply of gas that is needed in the future construction of the pipeline is supposed to be completed by late next year and those building it seem determined to
1:22 pm
continue no matter how the politics play out here announced by al-jazeera copenhagen denmark. now with one hundred days to go before britain is due to leave the european union and the countdown to breaks it is getting increasingly chaotic prime minister theresa may has tried and failed to persuade e.u. leaders to sweeten the agreement to leave on march the twenty ninth especially on the irish borders so-called backstop the u. e.u. says renegotiation is not an option and may says her deal is the best available many m.p.'s from all parties still say it is a disaster a third of her conservative party m.p.'s voted against her in a confidence vote last week but she survived that she's delayed the final parliamentary vote by m.p.'s to accept or reject the deal until the middle of next month or the government now says it is ramping up emergency preparations for no deal at all and the barber joins me live now from london for more than a son
1:23 pm
a dream how united is the cabinet at the moment on what happens next. not very united at all has him on tuesday there was a cabinet meeting in which the cabinet did agree to speed up preparations around the u.k. for the scenario of bracks it without a deal with the e.u. so on march the twenty ninth twenty nineteen what some people refer to as crushing out that's a prospect that worrying a lot of conservative politicians a number of them in the last twenty four hours have said that if the government did in effect move towards that scenario if and when the withdrawal deal that treason maze got in which is extremely unpopular and unlikely to get through parliament if that was defeated and if it became the default plan b.
1:24 pm
that they would actually basically resign what's called the whip they would stop being a conservative member of parliament acting in the national interest they say to do all they could to stop it and it's a prospect that's been met with horror of by five of the biggest business organizations in the u.k. they've come out with a statement calling on politicians to listen to their local businesses saying that responsibility to find a way forward now lies with those six hundred fifty members of parliament but it's very unclear what's going to happen we know that this meaningful vote on the withdrawal agreement the so-called deal will not happen until the week of the fourteenth of january it's likely to be defeated it's very unlikely that the reason they will get any more concessions from brussels but the uncertainty is over plan b. now there's growing calls for a so-called people's vote another referendum but at the moment neither the conservatives or the official opposition labor are saying that they are ready to
1:25 pm
press that button and what's happening then with the senate with this new immigration plan there that the government does is looking at. we're expecting to find out more detail later on wednesday with this new white paper the real bone of contention has been a minimum set a minimum income threshold of around thirty seven u.s. thirty seven thousand u.s. dollars for highly skilled migrants the government's main aim is to end preferential treatment for e.u. citizens who want to come and work in the u.k. and make it a level playing field with non e.u. citizens but that idea of that minimum threshold has worried many people saying that sectors like the national health service and care for the elderly could be really hard hit because in those areas skilled workers do and less than that threshold the opposition labor party saying that in their words the economy could grind to a halt to if that were applied well now we're hearing from such
1:26 pm
a javits the interior minister home secretary that there will be further consultations he's also refused to say that the government will carry on sticking to its previously declared target of reducing net migration to the u.k. per year of tens of thousands that was also something that has been criticised as unrealistic ten downing street the government spokespeople saying no we're sticking to it so we have to wait until later today to find out the precise detail all right for the moment in the life or stare in london thanks to dean. john johnston is a political reporter for politics home a u.k. political news website he joins us now from london thanks for being with us so still a great deal of uncertainty there about just where briggs it is easy going but let's start with this decision by the british prime minister theresa may to delay that vote on the brazier plan that she negotiated until the middle of january and number
1:27 pm
of her detractors have accused her of essentially trying to run down the clock here so that the situation becomes more desperate as we get to that breaks that date and m.p.'s more m.p.'s will be forced to essentially vote for this plan lot rather than the worst case scenario which is a no deal do you think there's any truth to that or certainly i don't think she had much option but to lay the vote she was obviously going to lose that one hundred six of her own m.p.'s alone who had come out to say that they would not vote for her deal so in doing this yes there certainly be the possibility that we're wearing heavy on the minds of m.p.'s when they come to vote on this in mid january that they are much closer to the bracks it dates but i think theresa may still hoping that there may be some concession possible from the e.u. perhaps not the legal change that some of her m.p.'s would like to see but there
1:28 pm
may be enough in the wording that they give her in order to persuade some of them possibly to back her deal when the alternative as you say is no deal and on on on the no deal we know that the government says that they are they are making plans for that possibility but do they have a grasp of the potential damage that are no deal breakers you could do all these all of this talk of chaos and then gridlock at the ports of entry exaggerated. well it's hard to say i mean they've released these new deal notices which outlined the serious consequences of us coming out with a deal just yesterday they announced an extra two billion pounds in order to put together contingency plans and we even had the defense secretary coming out yesterday pledging three and a half thousand troops for any government department needs help in acting those contingency policies we also know that the e.u. are now starting to take extra measures around the new deal breaks as well because
1:29 pm
they're obviously now seriously concerned that this could be the case whether the kind of threat of this is exaggerated well that's being debated by both sides but certainly there will be there will be implications and serious consequences for business in this country and they need to be ready for that and that's i think what the government are trying to show that they're working on this week with this extra money and as far as a second referendum many people feel that's the only way out of this whole mess as our reporter nadine said there and not neither of the two major parties have come out in favor of that but is so is that is that possibility still unlikely at this point. i think both extremes of new deal and a second vote are becoming more likely as it seems it seems unlikely that reason is deal is going to pass obviously there is a growing contingent of m.p.'s with in parliament who would like to see the second vote happen as you say to recently has been and phatic in saying that she would
1:30 pm
never allow under her watch jeremy corben the labor party have committed if they cannot force the government into a general election then they will back a people's vote now last week we had a little bit of chaos about whether sorry earlier this week we had a lot of chaos about whether they were going to try in call a vote of no confidence in the government they've retreated from that slightly because it doesn't seem like labor's front bench are quite ready to fully commit themselves to people's vote so it's still a possibility but without either of the major players moving that way it also remains unlikely at this point good to speak with you john johnston joining us there from politics home in london thanks very much. all right in a few moments we'll have the weather with kevin corriveau also still ahead on al-jazeera. a yemeni mother finally gets permission to see her son in the u.s. but it will be a bittersweet visit. the calm after the storm of protests in nicaragua as the u.s. issues

1:32 pm
really affecting parts of turkey right now over towards cyprus and we are going to be seeing some heavy rain as we get into also syria lebanon and maybe into also israel because of the heavy rain we could be seeing anywhere between fifty and eighty more millimeters of rain across this area and that means we could be seeing some potential for mudslides landslides flash flooding in this region the good news is by the time we get to tomorrow this system slowly makes its way towards the east we're going to be left with some snow in the higher elevations but the rain is going to continue very lightly across much of the coastline across the eastern med we're going to sing of soup you have showers there but otherwise we will be starting to dry out the next big system we expect to come through this region probably won't be for another five to six days so that means a lot of clearing is going to be going on. the weather sponsored by cats are and always. i feel the happiest. women tearing up the

states because the i.p.g. is their ally in syria and the u.s. house troops in the white b.g. controlled area but at the same time iran would be wary of increased turkish influence in syria so what we understand this is going to be discussed just two days ago the iranian foreign ministry releasing a statement addressing this turkish military operation saying that there should be no operation in syria without the consent and approval. damascus now they've issued statements like this in the past when turkey was about to launch the cross border operation into a free and but this time around there was a very old threat in that state but and it said that it would negatively affect cooperation in turkey and iran members of this trio so pressing issues to be discussed we understand that the two leaders will be holding those discussions early on thursday. thank you. for. all i still ahead on. why middle east. much attention at
