they should be investigated and we're talking about a disappearance which means about murder we're talking about potentially about torture these are things with you know universal jurisdiction so in any place where there is a saudi government agent who is linked to this murder then it's up to the authorities of that country to investigate them so this goes for all the people who are accused of taking part in this mood up to the very highest level. all right moving on to the much awaited results from the democratic republic of congo's election out but france is saying there is need for clarity about the outcome for a minister. he says the provisional results are different from what was seen on the ground the election commission declared felix to she's guilty as the winner but another opposition candidate says the results are a fraud. as this report. is using. an announcement few had expected one that could set the stage for the first democratic transfer of

power in the since independence. thousands of felix just a kerry supporters poured onto the streets to celebrate a surprise. just to carry would see his father lead congress opposition for more than thirty five years had a message of unity. i know how many of you find it hard to accept but i say with sincerity i pay homage to president joseph kabila president of the republic today we must no longer consider each other as adversities but rather as partners and democratic change in our country. but he will have to contend with his rival martin file who has rejected the provision results. to suit all those who learned of the truth of the ballot boxes especially to congress national bishops the past couple conference sankoh and the church of congo through your historical observations we ask you to reveal to the congolese people of the whole world the name of the person who really was our people's choice. the country with

a history of coups conflict and contested elections has been on the edge there were allegations of widespread election irregularities including complaints of vote rigging advice lind's the internet has been cut off for days in an apparent attempt to stop speculation about the results why police have deployed we still have to wait. to see what will come out from people context the results and whole process is going to be much longer a keener than the electoral process so that we don't end up in a situation that. rising because people don't feel represented in the result just be in the release now it is quite a shock for everyone but it is a new beginning when the vote that was two years overdue you will finally see the exit of press the joseph off to the a.t.v.'s of power but now questions about how

much influence he will still have on whoever takes the reins. when the french foreign minister is warning that things could take a turn for the worse in the democratic republic of congo the unexpected victory. we're very concerned about the situation in the democratic republic of congo because it seems that the results announced mr security being the winner cannot match the expected result. of the catholic church of congo did its tally and announced completely different results therefore i think while remaining calm and avoiding confrontation that we must have clarity on these results we charge the opposite to what we expected let's go live to can. mean by their force something taken a lot of people by surprise what's been the reaction. by

the fighting it but they can make it here. breaking if the honorable here but much . more quiet or. much in. the air that. kind of deal with. the ultimately. putting the strings behind. the right of the country but. you know again that whatever we're told. but people here believe that nothing is going to change in the country in the part of the country if the got in for example in the market but you want to live in i mean it's part of the token thing on this i mean i mean they are trying to get them you think to get it going out which is also in the but the brain sort of also. if i think it's not getting. anything but them and while i can't get a mixed feeling around the country but on the whole generally it's generally quiet income most of the you wouldn't want that i might. not happy about that right here

anyone with a just a little short of thirty nine percent of the vote so one of the key challenges if this stance is going to be uniting the country. exactly only one would have five thirty eight point five percent of the vote so he didn't need to get a majority the it is a divided a lot of people didn't vote to eat really had to appeal to many people as possible that he's going to get blamed and what everyone rushed to want to do you have a challenge while i'm in this country have a lot of mineral while many people of all i knew what i meant what are you going to do about that in the outbreak in the country what are you going to do that you know one thing with the rain in the east like taking a human issue and government someplace they couldn't even vote to cut off again right but yes a lot of challenges keep it with the keeping up with us now people who didn't vote for him who don't trust him who are suspicions about his motives and they need some

kind of reassurances that he would be a leader who everyone not just wanted and that he would not be a puppet of just a couple of days howard thanks very much indeed that's a picture in kinshasa reporting. is in egypt where he'll be giving a major speech on the trumpet ministrations middle east policy he's been meeting the president some girlfriends l.c.c. in cairo who part of an eight day tour of the region the top u.s. diplomats is in middle the. leads to reassure allies on donald trump's plans to pull troops out of syria let's speak to jordan who's standing by for us in washington d.c. and rosa tell us more about the speeches ten years on from barack obama's if miss mitchell famous speech in cairo is going to be very different there is no. well according to officials who briefed reporters on friday next the speech is really a way to one acknowledge egypt traditional role as a rich as a regional leader the emphasis is going to be on its efforts to try to deal with

political reforms perhaps a nudge at the government mr sisi to live up to its constitutional and international expectations but there's also going to be a real sense of the secretary of state spelling out exactly what the u.s. is vision for its engagement in the middle east will be officials told reporters on friday that the u.s. is not withdrawing from the middle east that it's not abdicating its traditional role as an interlocutor or as a security depending on the situation but that because the president donald trump wants to withdraw u.s. forces from syria as well as cut the number of u.s. forces in afghanistan by half there is a real sense that the united states may be pulling out of the region altogether and that does have recently or is very worried his speech later on thursday is supposed

to be one of reassurance indeed and one wonders how hard it must be for the sector a state to conduct business is multi nation tour of diplomacy when it was these mixed messages that have been coming from from his from his boss. well this is really been the situation not just for mike but it was the situation for rex tillerson as well and we saw that as well with nikki haley while she was the u.s. ambassador at the united nations they would come forward with policy objectives they would try to work on issues and then the president would simply change his mind effectively undercutting the people he had appointed to deal with foreign policy like palm pale most famously was supposed to go to north korea late in twenty eighteen to try to help lay the groundwork for a potential second summit between kim jong un and donald trump but then the president decided at the last second that he didn't want that trip to happen that

he wanted to handle the matter with north korea in a very different fashion and he did so in a very public way so whether or not this is the way to run foreign policy certainly the reaction from many observers here in washington is that it's humiliating when you can't be trusted to do the work that the president has asked you to do. even after i mean rose jordan reporting from washington let's go to cairo and this is the scene in cairo where press are awaiting the usa today to hold a press briefing with the egyptian foreign minister who he has been me she was soon as it happens we will drop in live to that to listen to what is said. in the meantime still ahead here on out there cautious optimism about the cease fire holding in the data as millions of yemenis remain in dire need of help. and concerns over the new technology that lets retain his read customers moogs.

including in her data city and in the southern districts of the government but this is remarkably limited compared to what we saw in the weeks before the stockholm consultations and this relative calm i believe indicates the tangible benefit of the stock and agreement for the people of yemen and it also illustrates the commitment of both parties to make their agreements work. but special envoy martin griffiths seemed to be accentuating the positive in the public meeting when later it went into closed session the council heard from major general patrick kamut the dutch general who leads the u.n. monitoring mission in who data he's giving the security council weekly reports the latest says the un's body armor and armored vehicles have not been allowed into the country there are many no go areas and the team of received death threats according to the un's top humanitarian official the situation for ordinary yemen is remains

dire millions of yemenis are looking to ask for assistance and protection and we need to see more and faster progress on all the humanitarian elements of your resolution to make any practical difference to their lines the u.n. special envoy said sweden is only the start of the next part achieving the last thing political agreement will be even harder a former u.s. ambassador to yemen laid out the challenges ahead what he got out of stockholm was in some sense though hanging fruit in some instances in fact they're wise. and issues that had already been agreed like the prisoner exchange so as so what's going to come next is going to be much more of a trial and there is talk here of fresh talks on yemen to be held in either kuwait or jordan but so far the u.n. has not felt confident enough to name a date james out is there at the united nations. turkish defense chiefs have
