1:02 pm
declare his course of action he's previously said he doesn't want to jeopardize u.s. relations with saudi arabia but secretary of state might pompei he's written to a senior member of the house committee on foreign affairs and he says the trumpet ministration will seek accountability for. in the latter he says we will continue to use the relevant authorities as appropriate to promote accountability for the murder of missile and impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible. mike hanna has more now from washington. president trump departs for his annual medical exam declining to answer shouted questions on any subject all indications are will be no response to the deadline set by the senate following the murder of jamal khashoggi the senate sent a letter to president trump invoking the global magnitsky act which gave president
1:03 pm
trump one hundred twenty days to investigate the murder and impose sanctions against those responsible in a follow up letter to the senate asa president to specifically investigate any role the crown prince mohammed bin solomon or m.b.a.'s may have played in the murder in b.s. the crown prince is a wrecking ball. and he gets complicit in the murder mystery because shogi think he's crazy to. think he is dangerous and he has put their relationship at risk but president trump has steadfastly insisted the us solve the relationship is more important than establishing accountability for murder it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first saudi arabia's senior diplomat continues to deny any involvement by the kingdom's leaders in the murder
1:04 pm
refusing to react to a new york times report that the crown prince is on record as saying he would use a bullet on jamal khashoggi. report dismissed as based on unknown sources and the following tweet posted on the saudi foreign ministry account we will hold who are responsible for the death of to account the question is what happens now the president has ignored the ultimatum the answer is simply nothing they are no punitive measures involved in this process which essentially relies on the good faith of all parties something the president's critics contend is absent in the white house but the stairs not mean an end to the matter the question of accountability for jamal khashoggi is murder has rid bipartisan support in congress and the motions agreed to and legislation seeking sanctions against saudi arabia and possibly the crown prince specifically is being widely discussed in both the
1:05 pm
house and senate mike hanna al-jazeera washington. to istanbul now our correspondent stephanie decker is there is simple of course the city where this murder actually took place is stephanie and the turks must be worried then that the steam is going to. decrease from this whole affair given that there doesn't seem to be anything concrete coming from the white house. absolutely i think this is also why we have politicians here the president the foreign minister often addressing it often trying to put pressure put it back in the media spotlight they are calling again for an international investigation yesterday the foreign minister talking to reporters of course they've reacted to the u.n. preliminary final report let's say not findings from analyst who is here for a week investigating what happened of course the turks have done their own investigation martine but we haven't had an indictment from them either they
1:06 pm
haven't made public what exactly their findings were so they want accountability this is what they say but they want other countries on board and course trying to avoid a one on one confrontation with reality because of the politics involved martine so they're trying to get others over because you just listen to mike hanna this package there the americans certainly the president doesn't seem to be too concerned about really finding out who ordered this at the most senior levels according to the u.n. so we're going to have to wait and see i think significantly in the future what we have is the independent analysts from the u.n. should be issuing her findings to the human rights council in june so i think significant to wait and see what she will have to say indeed the u.n. secretary general himself antonio the terraces said that in order for a full u.n. inquiry to be triggered it needs to be requested by a member state do you think the after june and perhaps i mean there is international support for turkey on this issue of how far the country's who goes
1:07 pm
another matter of course but do you think that come june the human rights commission saying that that will give enough courage if you like to turkey to go the to the next stage. it's possible i mean the turks are saying that this is these are their intentions and they're willing to wait until mr report is out but the initial wordings let's say from the team that was here on the ground martine a very strong you have on this saying that she believes that the murder was ordered and executed by senior saudi officials you had one of her part of her team barrenness out in a kennedy speaking to b.b.c. radio four yesterday saying again that this execution in her words was planned at the highest levels of the saudi government even the saudis are saying they're blaming certain aides but again if you look at the word aide an aide responds to a senior official these are all reading between the lines but the language from
1:08 pm
this team which is really the only nonpolitical team or team involved in looking at this murder is very damning as of yet they're still going to speak to the americans to figure out what intelligence they have but i think very interesting will be what specifics they will report on in the next coming months and whether this investigation takes place or not seventy deca live in istanbul thank you now israeli forces say they've arrested a palestinian man in connection with the murder of a teenager then was arrested during a raid at a mosque in the occupied west bank he's being questioned for the death of nineteen year old israeli already. he was killed in jerusalem for us a detention was no to violence between palestinian protesters and israeli forces. the entire position party has bowed to pressure from the king to reverse its nomination of his sister the prime minister in a palace statement king vegetarian long corn descried princess bid for office is
1:09 pm
inappropriate and unconstitutional the thai rak said chart party wanted her to run against the current prime minister a former army general who led a military coup in twenty fourteen but the election commission will now have the final say on her candidacy let's go live now to bangkok little capitol our correspondent there is scott and the skull it seems very much as though her party has been very quick to respond to the instructions coming from the paris is this the end of her bid to enter politics. yes pretty much in it a very short answer yes because of what came out late friday evening and eleven pm the statement from the king saying that it was as you said unconstitutional to have a member of the royal family run for prime minister so that i would put a quick end to it when we were you know when this was kind of. involving on friday
1:10 pm
you know political earthquake the shift of tectonic political plates here in thailand those are all the terms being thrown around and then later in the day when we got this announcement from the king i guess now the most appropriate term for it is political flash in the pan it is it came and went just that quickly now in the party. they also came out on saturday she came out in social media she's very active on social media the princess she came out and thanked her supporters a message of love that her party said they will abide by the statement from the king so obviously yes everyone kind of falling in line if you will but it will be interesting over the next couple days as to what really happened in the wake of this very dramatic twenty four hours that we've seen here in thailand when and what does it mean then for this opposition party the thai rak chart which of course has got affiliations with tax in. yeah we'll find out on monday morning that will be the beginning of this process of the election commission that will convene first thing monday morning and discuss what
1:11 pm
has happened over these last twenty four hours that's even before the king issued that statement they were going to discuss what was happening even just the fact that the princess was on the ticket for one of these parties that something that was objected by the pro-military party that is fronted the current prime minister. to be their prime minister they said that it was illegal so they had already kind of started that ball rolling so there was going to be an election commission meeting on monday just based on that but now with the king also becoming involved clearly they have a lot to discuss and first thing monday morning we hear also because the king said it was unconstitutional because the military party has said that it's illegal that the constitutional court might also become involved so that's going to be coming up first thing on monday morning and we also know that that her party the princes party has stopped their campaigning today here on saturday still being to see what they do because yes it's a question over what happens with the princess and now that she's on their ballot
1:12 pm
she can't be taken off what's going to happen to the party itself that's also in question and hopefully they'll be some answers or a little bit more clarity once the election commission meets on monday morning. again on monday morning no doubt scott thank you. evan israel is president is warning of catastrophic consequences if all of venezuela vella as well as oil shipments are blocked by u.s. sanctions a senior white house official says the trump administration is considering new sanctions last week the us targeted ten billion dollars worth of oil assets and revenue the opposition leader though hasn't ruled out the possibility of u.s. intervention in order to force nicolas maduro out meanwhile at the border humanitarian aid that's how it's being described by the united states is being blocked by my daughter's military. on national sovereignty is made vulnerable with a show called humanitarian aid and peace is threatened by the government of mr
1:13 pm
donald trump who last sunday in a televised interview ratified his threat of a military invasion against venezuela in venezuela they have driven us to the point that libya was taken or that syria was taken to the point of prolonged opposition they have attempted out who have not allowed them to and venezuela is that piece. latin america editor lucianne human reports now from the city of san cristobal on the country's border with colombia. food and medicine on display in colombia right on the border with neighboring venezuela tons of humanitarian aid donated by the united states and colombia for than israel or are part of a strategy not just to help the needy but to undermine him battled president nicolas maduro. the u.s. ambassador made an appeal in spanish to venezuela's military to defy my ludo's order not to let it pass. you will have to make
1:14 pm
a decision that will always be remembered by your parents your brother and sisters and your daughters they'll all remember your decision. just across the border the military is so far following muggles orders i'm just the one hundred meters from the entrance to the last ordering a bridge which separates venezuela from colombia and from the humanitarian aid that's been collected on the other side of that bridge and for the first time and since dawn members of the national guard have been the floyd and have declared this area as national security zone. a handful of demonstrators waved flags and taunted to soldiers. but in the nearby city of sunken storm a far larger group has been demonstrating for days demanding that humanitarian aid to be allowed in i mean americans they took away my health benefits and i can't afford to go to colombia to buy the drugs for my cancer treatment my daughter is a diabetic and needs insulin injections daily and we can't get that aid there
1:15 pm
despite these stories president appears determined to keep the foreign aid out describing the offer as a thinly disguised act of foreign intervention. not been his will it will not allow the show of force humanitarian aid because we're not simply is that. on the other side self declared interim president seems hopeful that he can provide what my little cannot while at the same time tempting the military to change sides and if they don't there's a plan b. . i am convinced that we will get the idea through with the. people people and more people carrying the humanitarian aid people people and people making a humanitarian corridor or a reality. exactly how president plans to play his hand is still not so clear. as opposition supporters here at the border
1:16 pm
prepare for what is almost certain to be a confrontation. you see in human. venezuela we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including the man who killed six worshippers at a mosque in canada in twenty seven seventeen gets life in prison. approaches we talk to some of the britons living in europe and find out about how uncertain they feel about the future. and to ski legends prepare for their final run at the world championships we'll hear from spin darlin vaughn in sport with. leaders from across the continent are in addis ababa for the annual african union summit and this year the theme is refugees and internally displaced people more than twenty six percent of the world's refugees are on the continent and that's
1:17 pm
according to the un refugee agency around one point four million of them are in uganda alone three african countries are among the top ten countries hosting refugees in the world and the number of displaced people continues to rise and that's mainly because of conflict welcome web reports now from the ethiopian capital addis ababa. i'm sure a sunni was thirteen years old when she says government forces attacked villages you don. seven years on things have picked up she plays volleyball every week at the center for refugees in ethiopia's capital addison ababa that's where she fled with her family we have almost three months since. only. to live in. north to two months.
1:18 pm
and i'm going all. the refugees here from nearly twenty countries the center also provides them with child care and language classes. the people here are among more than twenty million in africa who fled oppression and conflicts but they're luckier than most they've made it to the city they can benefit from the facilities here at this center many stuck in camps. conditions are usually poor the south sudanese refugees in uganda say humanitarian aid is not enough africa has more refugees and internally displaced people than any other continent african leaders say they're going to do something about it as they meet for the african union's annual summit in addis ababa refugees and displaced people is the theme for the year ahead. here u.s. political affairs commissioner says it'll work to prevent the causes of
1:19 pm
displacement. violet human rights of your people and we will talk to you to say to you what do you are doing is not good you should visit your leaders are also expected to talk about efforts to reform the african union but observers are wondering if other pressing issues will be addressed such as the recent protests and government crackdowns in sudan and zimbabwe just talking about messing with out discussing why people love being forced to flee from the us they're responsible for the oppression in the conflict. back at the center for refugees these men from eritrea sing songs from home. people here are getting by many more who were displaced across the continent on not. to take more than a new theme the african union to change that malcolm webb al-jazeera that is about
1:20 pm
ethiopia. right now we can speak to solution i do his research or at the is it you for global dialogue that says south african think tank she's joining us from cape town thank you very much indeed for your time. africa has the largest number of displaced people that includes refugees and internally displaced people in the world the causes of people moving away from overcalls are many conflict is one of economic deprivation is another and of course repression do you think the african union is prepared willing or capable of dealing with these core issues. good afternoon i think it's a really massive task and engender for the african union particularly given the fact that the african union has to deal with its internal resourcing crisis as well in terms of capacity dealing with the fact that it has to also create
1:21 pm
a reform agenda and of course it's just also ratified and announced the african continental free trade agreement all of the issues that you put that you've highlighted are actually synergetic the link to each other so it's the repression the internal domestic issues of what we've heard in the inset around the refugees internally displaced people who are fleeing conflict at a domestic level it's also the question of economic migration it's also the question of climate change and how climate change affects in terms of humanitarian crisis so right now the african union has to deal with its own internal capacity and whether or not it's able to address these structural conditions that exist which are also systemic and systematic i think it's a really a massive task but you and right now i think you're finds itself in a difficult position with regard to this specific issue i'm just wondering what difference might be made from learning that the restructuring itself as you alluded to moving the issue of refugees in i.d.p.'s away from political affairs and to
1:22 pm
a new department for health and humanitarian issues i mean is that encouraging do you think. i think it's encouraging but i think you can't ignore the cross-cutting nature of the refugees and internally displaced people i mean as one of your. interview interviewee said you know you can't deal with the crisis by just trying to concentrate on the health the social economic and cetera because they are contagion effects it's in a jet so if this conflict in one country you must also be in mind that you've got to deal with secured the security architecture and one of the things that the e.u. does have and should be implementing and putting into some kind of efficacy effort into is the standby capacity force you know if you talk about this new capacity building a structure around intervention around conflict except for but that hasn't really materialized in the kind of realistic absolutely and in a way that is being implemented in a realistic rich doesn't i think they need to do that but also going to deal with
1:23 pm
these issues not as isolated issues but rather synergetic but it's been pointed out that of course here the upper echelons of the african union are populated populated pretty much by the very people who are accused of a gnat taking the kind of repression that is sending people fleeing from their countries so they're basically protecting their own we saw the african union attempt intervention india r.c. recently it a quiver katie didn't it so really it is the fit for purpose. well i think the results but just do exist they have a purpose i think we can ignore the fact that they do have some level of of limited purpose i think what that does is that it needs more than just these kinds of leaders that come in and talk about what they see as a governance structure but don't really put their money where their mouth is i think you in the case of the d r c also experience the fact that the internal does
1:24 pm
domestic crises and political conditions within a country just overwhelms you so that's a reform that has put been put together by the president of rwanda and has needs to move forward it needs are locked in. a particular dynamic it needs the commitment the confidence the other key issue is resources both monetary and non-monetary and then i think once you get that independence in terms of your resources then of course you can start becoming much more effective in your efficacies solution i do thank you very much indeed. the canadian man who killed six people and injured five others at a mosque in quebec city has been sentenced to life in prison the canadian prime minister justin trudeau called it a terrorist attack alexander bissonnette told a prison social worker he regretted not shooting more and in canada has more. presently islamic cultural center in quebec were coming to an end when alexandria

take a look at the top stories here it out there the deadline has passed for donald trump to decide whether he'll impose sanctions on saudi officials over the murder of jamal khashoggi under the magnet ski act the president must outline what action he intends to take. a try opposition party has bowed to pressure from the king to reverse its nomination of his oldest sister for prime minister the election commission will now have the final say on her candidacy. venezuela's president is warning of catastrophic consequences if all of its oil shipments are blocked by u.s. sanctions president bush order is refusing to allow aid in from the united states. greece's northern neighbor formerly called macedonia has now officially been
1:31 pm
renamed the next step is for north macedonia as it now is and greek macedonia to agree on who will use the name for commercial products less reports. ostriches aren't typically associated with macedonia but the macedonian ostrich farm has been selling itself on its location for a quarter of a century. i wanted to emphasize my reach mike because i pioneered my plan was to spread the birds to other parts of greece and become a sort of brand name greece's agreement to recognise its northern neighbor as north macedonia leaves commercial branding in a state of legal limbo a committee is to decide over the next three years which products may continue to use the term macedonian as part of their branding could lose the rights that means producers like a slightly these are thinking of trademarking their brands so as to have a legal right to the name when they export their goods but the process is expensive
1:32 pm
but that is. what is it. there was no one to inform me about the pros and cons when the government decided to make this interstate agreement and should have informed us about the rights or it could have gone the cost to trademarking this is not easy for a small business person. greek macedonia make some four thousand product branded as macedonian but only a handful are trademarked as such producers must now spend thousands of dollars on lawyers and koreans trying to secure their products but even if they do they cannot be sure that they will ultimately be allowed to keep those macedonian designations this trouble's greek macedonians who have always taken for granted their freedom to use the name of their region and geographic designations have been a marketing tool in greece since antiquity even today the right drug or free means expectations of quality and that means sales our lives from kalamata apples from mt raisins from corinth some of these designations have begun to have meaning abroad
1:33 pm
as well and that means even more serious money legal experts warn any changes will cause problems names can be considered as. they're for. if the greek state acting in conformity with the press by agreement forces but i haven't bought this to jane's commercial means this good mood guarded as an infringement upon their property rights and the groups then it could be sued by those private about this for diamonds young cyclically these good shepherds when he bought what had been their grazing land to raise his ostriches in the village of been the police in greek macedonia now he may have to fight the state to be able to claim the geography on paper jobs are all plus al-jazeera facility q right let's speak to marianna. researcher and journalist she's joining us also from the salon
1:34 pm
a cave which of course is the capital of greek macedonia and how do greek macedonians feel now i mean jon's reporters just highlighted one of the problems associated with this name change but we we do remember how bitterly fought this was by so many great message their means well they're not happy that's for sure the majority of the people do not want a name change and. they're not happy at all and that's why they have been joining protests and brought us that are led by the far right right and what is the basis would you say of greek macedonian unwillingness to share its name is it a fear of cultural appropriation or is it more than that. for historical reasons reasons on foreign ministries and basically they believe that if must of done we are not fastened on me or takes over the name or even if it has the
1:35 pm
mention of macedonia inmate then that will be able to claim the great part of most of daniel which includes the solomon. and they would love to be able to claim alexander the great and everything related to the mustard on an empire but what's the basis of that fair if this territorial encroachments where does that fear come from. it's a nationalist fear it's something we are taught at schools that have done is great must have done it belongs to greece and alexander the great is greek that's why it should only belong to greece they do not recognise. that ancient macedonia also included other parts outside of modern greats right because of course north macedonia also claims alexander the great don't they i mean so this is this is an area of of possible confrontation as well but people feel people feel so strongly don't they i mean this is had ramifications in athens there is almost unseated the
1:36 pm
government of alexis sipress. yes people are very strongly about. this specific agreement and the fact that this conflict because it was a conflict between grace and much of dharma is finally solved it's a very positive step for greece and for the government of electors to press because even though it was not a successful government when it comes to domestic politics it has followed a very successful foreign policy in my opinion. and and how far would you say are these these core sensibilities of nationalism being the inflamed if you like by people from the hard right from groups on the hard right of politics in greece i think will not go far any more i think there is only one protestant asylum. next week but i have been following all of the protests since the beginning and the first across those that we have seen thousands of thousands of people in
1:37 pm
the last practice there were only people who were mainly from the far right and from the golden dawn so we see that the majority of the people and those who do not . they are not affiliated to the fire right they no longer join this protest because they i think that they have started to believe that they have nothing to gain from joining this protests anymore right marianna category larky thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from thessaloniki thank you thank you britain's departure from the european union is now just weeks away but the future of british citizens who live in other european states remains pretty much in limbo as many as one and a half million britons live in the e.u. about one hundred fifty thousand of them in germany is that when it came to falls many are now worried about the impact threats it could have on their lives. at home in prince labelle composer and musician richard scott experiments with mixing
1:38 pm
up sounds he performs right across the e.u. but now fears his british nationality could make that much harder so i guess what i would most like to be is not a playing card or a trance piece and we were told at the beginning that we weren't going to be you know we're not going to be trading with people's lives but that's exactly what is happening on both sides. so yeah i feel like i'm a pawn in some game i have no control over however britain does leave the e.u. citizens will then find themselves having to register at places like this office for foreigners it's thought around one hundred fifty thousand british citizens are living and working in germany right now perhaps around sixty percent of them have lived here long enough to qualify to obtain german citizenship but that still leaves the other forty percent around sixty thousand people who cannot and would

there for find their freedom of movement potentially impede it. and that concern is not restricted just to u.k. citizens many german firms have trade links with britain like measuring instruments in the rhineland its chief executive says the idea of the u.k. crashing out of the e.u. is really ominous worst case scenario is the heart of the worst case scenario is a heartbreaks it which would mean customs checks at the british border in less than three months for which no one is prepared it would be an absolute chaos of course we hope for a different outcome. on the political side of the german government has tried to give reassurances about what might happen. we want to keep the damage and correct it will be damaging to a minimum so we will of course continue to try and find a solution for an orderly exit but we also have had with the eventuality that there won't be an orderly solution. for richard scott the simple solution is to become
