needs to prove that there are people who have been dismissed from office because of their implication undescribed have actually been arrested on are being indicted on charges of murder ok we'll leave it there just done great to talk to you as ever thank you very much thank you. ok let's also get the reaction to those pictures from a former crime investigator to discuss this further joining us live now is chris phillips he was head of the u.k.'s national counter-terrorism security office he joins us on skype from london chris phillips does this mean that the body once they've gone through the bone saw aspects of this is a delicate way to talk about this as usual of course but once they've gone through that process the body was dismembered put someplace else and then taken back into the building or taken out of the building when investigators went into the building and then replaced. while we don't know what this stuff is the

complexity of this really i think by completely your idea that it's about russia these camera pictures would have been available weeks and weeks ago i think i'll do my understanding is that a building more searched but not completely i'm fully and i think from an investigative point of view what this does actually is implicates more people it implicates of people who are actually in the consul general building as well because they must have known this was known on so so more people are probably in this the name initially thought but so of course there's been plenty of time the high body and body parts and of course once you make a body smaller it's easier to get rid of the saudi narrative changed at least four times when they were stumbling through i think that's a fair word to use stumbling through how do we react to this but does this change perhaps what the starting point was does it maybe lend weight to the idea that this

was a kidnap gone terribly wrong because if you want to kidnap someone you've got to do it in a controlled and a controllable environment he a place like your consulate on sovereign territory inside another country. well yeah i think you know you can't believe these things happened in embassies or consul general z. buildings but but of course they are control of all their control law in that they are saudi property saudi land the local police can't really do very much about it and of course they wouldn't imagine for one minute the turks were actually listening to what was down on inside that building so. this is you know no one in the west they think for one minute other than the fact that this was a terrible murder a planned murder and a course you know we we've seen the evidence now i think certainly the evidence and this goes further to the case i think what happens next is the interesting thing

and. i don't think that ever found this body or bits of this body but what they will have to do in some way is try to do with the ongoing political situation but the reality chris is the same as it was even before the revelations as as we kind of digest and distill down what we think these videotapes show us show the world the key questions remain the same who ordered the killing who actually did the killing and this is there another question a third or fourth question will they ever be held to account and probably not and that's a key point here is that no matter how much evidence you get together certainly no it sounds like no court case is going to be heard in turkey which would probably be the fairest court case in this instance or anywhere else i think of the individuals may be held to account in some way in saudi arabia but but no one really trusts

that this is clearly. state sponsored murder it was certainly something that's happened certainly rather top of government if not at each hour and of course that makes it very difficult for the world to deal with and if it was a lone. the level members of. the team that were kind of responsible for this then probably me much easier but it's not all that makes it difficult for the world to deal with and there is that for the trumpet ministration a slightly awkward relationship slash friendship isn't there between jericho and the crown prince crown prince mohammed bin cell man i mean i think about halfway through the initial investigation maybe six seven weeks ago was talking about you know we've got to get to a truth that we can all work with but this the contents of these tapes that we're showing that you and i are discussing that kind of writes a coach and horses through that desire you can't work with a truth that you want to feel comfortable with you've got to work with the truth

not a truth and it's a very awkward question for a lot of countries that the business is that irregular as well so so so how much how important is one man's death one man's murder. in the big scheme of things that's what probably this all comes down to in the end certainly a very convinced that there's enough evidence to take a case before a court of some kind but i don't think that will ever happen so it's what the political fallout this is going to be over the next five to ten years but chris as ever thank you so much. we move on to yemen where the rebels say they fired four missiles into saudi arabia they say they targeted saudi forces in the city of jos on in a separate development to saudi soldiers were killed while fighting with ruthie's near the border with yemen that's according to saudi media the u.n. team monitoring the truce in yemen is disappointed a humanitarian corridor between the port city of data and the rebel held capital

sana'a has not yet been opened this was among many agreements reached the talks in sweden earlier this month as part of that deal with the rebels have handed over control of the data to the government but the u.n. wants to verify where they will go next the u.n. says it wants to ensure the movement of rebels is in line with the sweet an agreement last more ground still to cover for you here on the news including new questions about the israeli military's use of life fire in gaza after a major investigation. history delayed the north korean leader kim jong un says his trip to seoul will happen just not this year as planned. and in sports something like normal service is resumed for the defending premier league champions manchester city and d.c. with that story in about thirty minutes. bangladesh is prime minister sheikh hasina has won a third term in a row after

a massive win in the country's elections the opposition is rejecting the results claiming widespread vote rigging local media reports say the ruling alliance has won at least two hundred eighty three out of three hundred seats for which the voting took place the opposition says the polls were rigged and wants a fresh poll under a neutral government violence on polling day left at least eighteen people dead chick a senior is the daughter of bangladesh's first president she's been accused of or thora terry innocent but under her leadership the country has become one of the fun . growing economies in the world she's alternated in power with her main rival for most of the last thirty years zia heads the bangladesh nationalist party the largest in the opposition coalition but now she's serving a seventeen year prison sentence for corruption charges she says are politically motivated al-jazeera charles stratford reports now from dhaka on the day's big events. voters cast their ballots alterna lakesha and campaign described by the

band with a shield position as one of the most violent in this country's forty seven year history. probably never do we have a lot of hope in this election because we couldn't vote in the last one but this time we came to vote let's see what happens now the government deployed hundreds of thousands of security forces across the country an effort it said that was to guarantee a peaceful vote weeks of violence and what the opposition described as intimidation by the ruling party in the build up to this election certainly the situation at this polling station has been calm but that's not to say there haven't been allegations of voter fraud members of an opposition polling station monitoring team say they had their i.d.'s and election papers confiscated they said they were threatened and ordered to leave. all parties were supposed to have election monitors at polling stations to watch the voting process and the vote count

election commission members confirm to us they had also seen opposition members turned away so. we fourteen members of the opposition b.n.p. entered the polling station we gave our papers to the presiding officer and he said to go to the booth then the ruling party members beat us and forced us from the building. but the government and the old was asian acknowledge a number of supporters from both sides who were killed on election day. but the ruling party said the election had been free and fair then this from the leader of the largest opposition coalition including the main opposition party. the urge immediately to dance that this would reject the so-called result of the election we demand to hold another election under a non politicized government. the election commission says it will investigate allegations of vote rigging but the announcement by the opposition that it has

rejected the vote has huge implications for the political future and security situation across this country struck at al jazeera. ok let's get more on that one for you sumit ganguly joins us live on skype from bloomington indiana in the states he's a professor of political science at indiana university some of the arithmetic does stack up to quite an astonishing picture two hundred eighty three out of three hundred that's as a result victory it's an absolutely resoundingly victory and obviously it raises questions about the fairness of the election given the rather crippling disadvantages that the opposition had going into the election and now when this overwhelming victory here and the allegations of misconduct on the part of election officials and it falling boots are one what nez about the fairness

of this election when it comes to those polling booths serious questions to be answered to do with roughly two hundred eighty three outs of three hundred individual constituencies i mean if you if you offset that against the reality the b.n.p. boycott in the last election in two thousand and fourteen can we say democracy is alive and well and thriving in bangladesh. no i think democracy is clearly at risk . and this election underscores those risks opposition up on intentions where at a significant disadvantage in this election and the principle leader of the opposition they can calibers he is in prison as your reporter as your prior reporter underscored and there have been allegations that even the chief election commissioner has behaved in a somewhat odd isn't fashion is to colleagues have expressed reservations so all of

this amounts to raising serious questions about to enter proceed here about their success of perceive your own democracy in money and others people who are feeling politically disenfranchised living in a in a political vacuum if you will in us much as we're seeing lots of reports quoting anonymous voters who wanted to vote who tried to vote who couldn't vote but they don't want to identify themselves other thea's justifiable because they they are clearly frightened of something. oh their fears are obviously justifiable which is why they refused to provide their names and chose to remain anonymous the entire machinery of the state which should be impartial a particularly at the time of an election and for the most part has think i'm quite partisan and that is evident from their range of allegations that have made being

made from a across the board about voter fraud misconduct and a voter intimidation and so the fear is that these individuals are expressed are all quite a real i. hate to. to do it mitt. was the direction do you think the sheikh hasina and her critics say she has become increasingly or thorough tarion with these kind of numbers backing her up can she get more authoritarian than she's been so far she should not have to be more of her it area and given the sheer supermajority that she now commands in ball image and the really key question is will the opposition in the weeks and months ahead now so seek to sort of resort to extra parliamentary means when this essentially amounts to sort of strikes demonstrations public protests and the like there is

a strong tradition of public protest in bunder and it is entirely possible that despite this seeming overwhelming victory on the part of the no army leg there could be. a widespread public disorder in the country in the weeks and months ahead that remains to be seen. there in indiana thank you very much thank you. folk and thing has begun in some parts of the democratic republic of congo after presidential elections there in some polling stations where voting began late people are still casting their ballots the main opposition coalition has complained of irregularities in many polling stations their voting machine didn't war and this was not the proper least. and

also in the many polling station i want correlation. i warn people our weaknesses or didn't we're not allowed to be in depending sishen and after the vote. before counting the ballots. so more so many of our witnesses were taken out. of the polling station. while sunday's vote is two years overdue malcolm webb reports now from the capital kinshasa. president joseph kabila dated early has left the democratic republic of congo in eighteen years. this election two years a veggie is to choose his successor my only concern is that we have this every right. and property for the timeout might be wrong. and this is the man he

wants to take over from his on the shattering he's on the european union sanctions list accused of rights abuses and put seventy i think victory is on my side and tonight i will be president. but the heavy rain hit the capital kinshasa didn't put people off. and there's no sign of a low turnout one hundred percent of eligible voters already registered. but no fool have been able to vote there's a polling station inside this primary school it's called voting machines ready to go there's no copy of the electoral register here absolutely packed for the people inside said sunrise waiting to vote a big crowd of people outside as well they since is voting been people here playing the presidents of the electoral commission for not delivering it demanding their rights of eight. we were sleeping in two morning we're looking for which a voice we won't go anywhere. everyone here is showing their support for candidate

number four martin for you live here one of the main opposition contenders three of his strongholds have been excluded from the presidential poll the electoral commission says because of conflicts and the butler outbreak and the reno dug swampy areas we're having problems so my dears. everything is going peacefully you know if you will or for you know beneath it will all of you if you fall of. saudi the out of congolese and you have to force. people in the eastern cities if any in the tempo demonstrated last week when the electoral commission said they could vote. i when it came to voting activists made their own polling materials and opened their own polling stations in protest. thousands came opinion polls indicate that most congolese don't trust the electoral commission.

when its president came to check on a polling station in kinshasa was greeted with chants calling him a big liar and saying that she has every kind of weird. millions of voters across the country counties will be contentious and many congolese say they wanted to accept the result they don't believe. now can web al-jazeera kinshasa or the democratic republic of congo. while staying with the story catherine sawyer reports now from the opposition strongholds in the capital. falling station in one of the city's opposition strongholds the gate the still open to political. lot of people standing here many of them very frustrated with moving their names to the voters. telling i found of them that they can get those names have been here since i you

morning i said to be a very long night for them and several of the polling stations still in this area the story in the same a lot of frustration in some polling stations there know of votes and there's no voters register of people that telling us that they feel that their electoral commission is the leverage to try to lock them out of the election to deny the opposition who have been told that of several of the polling stations in the city. county has begun as well as in oh my this is the capital of north. of north people in. that we also hearing some incidents in other parts of the country at a place called bira in fallujah he stated that yes there was some process today in a polling station. a policeman was trying to. crowd. we are hearing live when i show you sure you know why don't the voters where they process the stand on him and keep him to justice while i must say that it is extremely if

you are not getting information from different parts of the country because this is a huge country with very poor infrastructure connected and this is a country casing what is already a very difficult election morris county is executive director of full friends of the congo he joins us from washington d.c. morris county do you understand do you understand the level of frustration that we're getting from the voters so many delays two years later than it should have happened. oh absolutely tremendous level of dissatisfaction on the part of the congolese people however there are two dominant themes that have come out of the elections today one is the incredible spirit that we see from the congolese people who are they of they have deep desire for change in the country and they have turned out throughout the country in order to vote and

bring about change for the future so that's one key thing that we see in the congolese people who have demonstrated to the world tremendous amount of the dignity and probably best example of that is that what happened in benny they've been disenfranchised by the electoral commission saying that no vote to be held there however they organize their own vote they turned out in a in the thousands to demonstrate to the world that the threat that the electoral commission put out about ebola being a problem was or was false and so we see you know an example of the turnout in many of the incredible spirit of the congolese people and their deep desire for change in the country those people there was part of that change a function of that change surely is they want peace and they want security will they get it. if they get the opportunity if there are vote is respected if their interests are served they can get peace and security the

problem has been to date as we see in the way the elections are organized is a small elite that for all intents and purposes have kept the congolese people in what norman singo said the former head of the catholic church in the congo is an open air prison we have that could be a regime that's trying to hold on to power by any means necessary and the organized chaos that we saw today is a clear example of that where polling stations weren't open on time some polling stations were not open until six seven hours later in the day in the limited part of kinshasa the base of felix to security and we see we saw the polls some polling stations were not even open voting machines that didn't work malcolm and i met him so i did an incredible job of laying out the challenges that we see in the country today and the difficulties there were that the people face in trying to vote in an

environment where the electoral commission was ill prepared not well organized and so many say attempted to organize a chaotic fiasco so that the congolese people can freely choose their future leader but one point two million people out of a voting population of forty million eligible to vote can you live with that as if you will a percentage of error a democratic percentage of their up because that's an awful lot of people to be taken out of the system. you know i absolutely not because on the one hand the electoral commission takes out one point two million voters in beni and tembo and you'll be right there and this in franchising them on the other hand in the voters' roll they have some six million voters that they cannot verify sixteen point six percent of the registered voters not able to be to be authenticated by

a by the senate but yet they leave them in so every step along the way we've seen the electoral commission what we call a semi put obstacles in front of the congolese people in general and in front of the opposition and particularly to prevent them from fully. fully realizing the franchise ok very very briefly when the dust settles for you and for the voters in your home country will the anger that lead to the violence have been diffused enough so that everyone can accept the result and move forward all the people are not going to accept the result for continuity and mayor emanuel remote as an issue barry represents continuity so if the electoral commission announces a diary as the winner it will be unacceptable to the congolese people we will see them express their anger by descending into the streets by challenging the regime

of possible civil disobedience but they're not going to accept around exam victory that we can we can be assured of mores conny many thanks for joining us with your insights into what's going on in the d r c out of washington great structure. still to come here on the news hour may be labeled a threat to brazil by the incoming president will look at the battle looming with landless people and the sports news we'll hear from the woman who has just made history in the ultimate fighting championship. how i would have some really heavy rain stormy conditions across southern parts of the u.s. more of that to come as we go on through the next couple of days actually plenty of class still being pumped up from the gulf of mexico feeding over towards the eastern seaboard behind that mother little area here some pockets of when she
