11:47 am
every week new cycle going to see you a simple breaking story segment of course there's donald trump told through the eyes of the world's jannah least that's right out of a hamas group that calls for the an aisle asian of israel that is not what that phrase means at all. as we turn the cameras on the media focus on how they were brought on the stories that matter the most in. that is a free palestine are they listening paced and out is near and. it's a daunting climb to one of the holiest sites in bhutan tiger's nest ball astri seems to defy gravity every beauty's is expected to complete the pilgrimage to ensure peace and happiness when it became a democracy in two thousand and eight bhutan put happiness at the center of all political policy inspiring the un to pass a resolution urging other nations to follow betimes example but how do you measure it many brittany's happiness is what we ensure it if it is quantifiable but by
11:48 am
simply turning its pursuit into policy bhutan has done what no other country has. the marshall islands holds a toxic legacy from years of u.s. military nuclear testing. as the sea levels rise one on one east investigates the threat this fall opposers on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. and. pictures emerge of saudi agents carrying bags supposedly containing murdered journalists america saw g.'s body into the consul's house.
11:49 am
this is al jazeera life from doha also coming up the program the ruling party in bangladesh wins the third time in a row but the opposition is rejecting the results of a vote by vote. it's being counted in the democratic republic of congo where people put up with broken machines and bad weather and long delayed elections. and a major investigation raises new questions about the israeli military's use of life on protesters. say that al-jazeera has obtained pictures showing the saudi hit that killed journalist america so ji carrying a large bag shortly after he was last seen alive suspected of carrying his remains which have never been found into the consul general's home and the video shows the
11:50 am
arrival of the team's members at his residence in istanbul in the corner of the video you can see a member of the team carrying a large black bag inside the building so g. was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second. seen him because he has more from istanbul. remember the turkish investigation teams that looked the police they did two searches in the conflict building and they did one search in the residence and just to remind our viewers when they were doing this in the residence the turkish team found a well they wanted to make it search and. to do a proper search actually backed the saudis told them that it owns the people who are on the list and can do the search no fire brigade can enter so that the police was able to get some water and according to the technical analysis there was no d.n.a.
11:51 am
or blood in that water sample but of course the turkish team said that we have to do a proper search a second and made a second request to search that well inside the residence we don't know. where exactly they might have kept the but the remains but this is a very strong possibility that democracy to who has been brutally killed by the saudi officials in a consulate building in istanbul has by the rebellion and most probably killed in the residence building well chris phillips is a former crime investigator and he says the new evidence may implicate even more people who are inside the council general's residence. you can't believe these things happened in embassies or consul general so things but but of course they are control of all their control 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 that were actually listening to what was going on inside that building
11:52 am
so. this is you know no one in the west i think thinks for one minute other than the fact that this was a terrible murder or a planned and of course you know we've we've seen the evidence now and it's only had 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 bits of this body but what they will have to do in some ways try to do with the ongoing political situation. josh on is executive director of the arab center in washington d.c. and he says the release of the new video ad spend other layer of complexity to the murder investigation. but there is one significant remaining question in this whole investigation where is the body of. a most probably of course the saudi side that would hope that this recent cabinet reshuffle puts an end to
11:53 am
this case and relief saudi arabia from this pressure by the turks and the international community looking for some answers but it is clear judging from these pictures and judging from the new book that was just released a couple of days ago in turkey was also some additional information including some new names potentially involved in this case i don't think the case is disappearing shuffle shuffling the cabinet or not shuffling the cabinet saudi arabia needs to come clean needs to explain the legal process needs to prove that the people who have been dismissed from office because of their implication in this crime have actually been arrested and. being indicted on charges of murder. bangladesh's prime minister sheikh hasina has won a landslide election victory securing a third consecutive term in office the opposition that has rejected the results
11:54 am
claiming widespread vote rigging local media say the ruling alliance has won at least two hundred eighty three out of the three hundred seats were voting to place the opposition says the polls were rigged and they want a new venue to under the under neutral government violence on polling day left at least eighteen people dead speak to charles stratford he joins us from dhaka achiles what's the latest. lissa tuition certainly here in the capital dhaka is quiet at the moment but it would be an understatement to say how angry opposition parties are. because of this result such a vast majority of understand the latest figures from the election commission or at least two hundred eighty seven of the two hundred ninety eight contested seats two seats were left. uncontested we're expecting to hear comments from the opposition
11:55 am
and indeed shaker senior later shikha saying there will be speaking to the press and residence but of course this huge election when with this massive majority comes after serious allegations of vote rigging and intimidation violence in the run up to this election indeed allegations of vote rigging yesterday on election day and some violence as well as you say. at least seventeen possibly eighteen people killed in various locations across the country now we were at one of these polling stations one of the forty thousand polling stations in bangladesh yesterday and this is our report. voters cast their ballots alterna lection campaign described by the band with a show position as one of the most violent in this country's forty seven me history . forever 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 that let's see what happens now the government deployed hundreds of
11:56 am
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 a vote count election commission members confirm to us they had also seen opposition members to the way. we fourteen members of the opposition b.n.p. entered the polling station we gave our papers to the presiding officer and he said
11:57 am
to go to the booth then the ruling party members beat us and forced us from the building. but the government and the open zation 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. we urge immediately to cancel 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 open. that it has rejected the vote has huge implications for the political future and security situation across this country. we have the election commission conducting this investigation but how credible is that going to be. well certainly
11:58 am
according to the opposition that we've spoken to any investigation by the election commission is not going to be credible by any means the opposition told us they said that the election commission was deeply politicized and have been corrupted. by a government's agenda again by government intimidation ruling party intimidation certainly . election commission workers that i spoke to outside that polling station yesterday and these are members of the public from all walks of life one was a journalist one was an engineer another one was a. businessman they were very nervous about speaking to us but wanted to they only wanted to speak to us off camera when i put it to them had they seen the similar kind of violations or allegations of violations at that polling station most particularly that man from the opposition monitoring group that you saw interviewed inside the car their answer was yes and they were very shocked by the
11:59 am
fact that they wouldn't speak to us on camera and were very nervous shows you the kind of pressure that they arguably were under fire that can only be described as hundreds if not thousands of the ruling party supporters and the security services that were in and around that area and of course was not mentioned in that report is the fact that the people that we did speak to from the opposition supporters who come to cast their ballots at that polling station one man said that seat come along and found that his ballots had already been cast another man we saw all wrestled to the ground by plainclothes what we believe with pretty close security men or indeed some of these supporters of the awami league he was wrestled to the ground not polling station when he complained that the voting process seemed to have been held up for an hour was wrestled to the ground and basically kicked out
12:00 pm
of the premises. and he never managed to cast his vote we saw allegations of voter intimidation and arrests in the build up to the election and more than ten thousand six hundred supporters of the opposition. suffering some form of attack or intimidation in the build up so the opposition say it is very doubtful that a real credible investigation by the election commission is going to be is going to take place when there seems to be so much pressure on them from the ruling party all right that's a picture from dr charles thanks very much indeed for reporting a vote counting has begun in parts of the democratic republic of congo after presidential elections there voting was extended in some polling stations which opened late the main opposition coalition has complained of irregularities. in. polling stations the voting machine war. and this was a.
