prepared. more. we have our correspondents following the latest developments on bragg's it paul brennan is outside the u.k. parliament for us will be talking to him in just a moment but first let's go to need barker who is outside the prime minister's office ten downing street where that cabinet meeting has been taking place so neve to resubmit a is in an increasingly difficult position here with all of these divisions not just in her party but within her own cabinet. that's right in overcoming those divisions undoubtedly will be at the forefront of the prime ministers and other ministers minds as they continue these marathon talks they're entering what their fifth hour now what you can see out of shot though is a row of ministerial cars some of them with their engines running waiting to spirit those senior ministers off to other meetings that of course will only happen when
4:03 pm
the business inside this building is over and done with only then will we have a clear idea of what move the british government will make next what are they doing inside while quite likely they're weighing over their options the possibility of a no deal that the e.u. is now saying is looming ever closer a possibility also entertaining the idea of putting it to the people once more we know the parliament interested in that option and also of course the very real possibility of putting to resume a's plan back in front of parliament for a fourth go but what we're hearing is that the speaker of the house may not let that happen if it isn't substantially different to the plan that she put before parliament last week and of course but was the instruction from the speaker last time around as well which ended up with her having to split her divorce deal into its two component parts so on friday she ended up only putting the withdrawal agreement before parliament that's roughly about seventy to eighty percent of the
4:04 pm
complete deal. and as you know it was resoundingly defeated again so if she does decide to make the bold move to put it be front of parliament again how will she change it and does she have the house on side what's going to be happening here inside this building of course some very careful calculations teresa mayes entire political career is at stake with this deal right for the nominee barkha thanks very much let's talk now to paul brennan who's outside the u.k. parliament for us and paul many people of course looking to parliament to try and break this deadlock and find some sort of consensus on brings it but the latest attempt to do that on monday of course ended again with failure. the day they tried twice now and failed in the sense of dismay and recriminations in the building behind me this morning are immense there are finger pointing left right and center as to why
4:05 pm
a compromise wasn't achieved the reality is that m.p.'s know the theresa may it's possible she will press on with a no deal brecht's it in preference to any other option it would mean that she would deliver on that what she describes as the will of the people and there is no faith i think that the efforts of m.p.'s to prevent a no deal brecht it will find any leeway with the prime minister and that is why there is now an unprecedented effort to try to make to rescind a go back to the european union and apply for an extension of article fifty to delay the bracks it deadline it will mean that the m.p.'s today will table a one clause legislative bill which will be debated on weapons day because m.p.'s of carved out a window of opportunity for that to happen they hope it will then clear the lower house the commons on thursday and go to the lords to things it's going to face immense opposition from skeptic. super leaves that doing this kind of legislation
4:06 pm
against the will of government is simply not the way things should be done and there's no guarantee of course that the law will pass it but as one of the bill's proponents said this is a last ditch attempt to prevent our country being exposed to risks inherent in a no deal we realize this is difficult but it's definitely worth trying there may well be more indicative votes perhaps on thursday but we are now in a mad scramble as the deadline for bret's it approaches just ten days away now paul thank you paul brennan outside parliament in london for us and we got plenty more ahead on nation news out takis ruling party setting out to challenge local election results which threaten its control of key cities. venezuela's top court takes a key step to prosecute opposition leader one wideout as he tries to oust president nicolas maduro. and later in spill the walkie box move within sight of securing the

4:09 pm
international pressure on the saudi leadership specifically the crown prince andrew simmons has more on that the cia may have pointed the finger of suspicion of mohammed bin soma ruler of saudi arabia but nevertheless it's this date itself that's in charge of bringing his killers to justice maybe other investigations but no one show any sign of taking the case away from saudi officials who vehemently deny the crown prince ordered because george is murder. turkey has worked relentlessly is attempting to get extradition of the men saudi arabia had accused of being part of a rogue plot to murder because georgie from the very outset turkish investigators suspected the saudis were more engaged in a whitewash than an inquiry and the un has acknowledged that turkey was prevented from getting access to the murder scene at
4:10 pm
a crucial time turkish leaks to the media showed c.c.t.v. pictures and the names of fifteen men suspected by turkey of having been part of a hit team that killed khashoggi in the saudi consulate. turkey asserted that it had strong evidence tape recordings held of the gruesome murder it passed on to foreign governments and the cia but body couldn't be found. last november the saudi public prosecutor announced that out of twenty one suspects taken into custody eleven had been indicted and he said five could face the death penalty on charges of ordering and committing the crime and the motion is agreed to u.s. senators have provided some hope for those campaigning for an independent investigation but last month a closed door briefing at the white house ended with little achieved senators including republican lindsey graham said the meeting was a waste of time like many he believes donald trump who on different issues as
4:11 pm
a close ally won't ever accept intelligence information from the cia that mohammed bin solomon ordered the murder. the u.n. initially reluctant to get involved is now attempting its own inquiry led by agnes kalamata special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions yet made a request to the saudi government for access to the consulate and later she said saudi arabia is grievously mistaken if it sinks its secretive trial process conforms to international standards the accused haven't been named but one man known to be one of the suspects is reported to have been freed he's salad al khatami who was a close advisor to bin psalm the washington post has quoted unnamed u.s. and saudi sources as saying the crown prince still seeks advice from alcatraz on andrew symonds. career spanned decades and for much of it he was

4:14 pm
a dissident and the nature of his alleged links to the saudi banned muslim brotherhood movement was never firmly established he was not a dissident or opposition as people in the media keep describing him a man was you know loyal normal saudi citizen he was this is main sin is that he was bright he was a maverick and he was outspoken he couldn't hold things back. continue to express support for the social reforms of the saudi crown prince but he differed with been said man on certain issues and made sure his views were expressed the depth of their differences came to light only after his madam. his close friend the saudi canadian ahmed abdul aziz said he and planning to launch a cyber army on social media to advocate freedom of speech in saudi arabia. reported to have met the former saudi ambassador to washington more than once and
4:15 pm
had been said many reassured him the kingdom would welcome him home with open arms those reportedly misleading gestures of goodwill apparently encouraged him to visit the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second top ten documents to get married she was never seen again soon it became common knowledge that's been said man had ordered saudi intelligence agents to return home by any means u.s. intelligence services cited have been said man voice message saying he would go after her with a bullet if he could be forcefully or voluntarily returned home with a grim manner in which she was killed contrasted with his friend's memory of him as a lovable man while due to him a law. that really mr donahoe should do was. was was not i was as he seemed in on the media with his. ask your voice on. the serious character. in the life is funny man with
4:16 pm
kushal g.'s death saudi arabia managed to silence its most prestigious international journalist even after his killing kushal she managed to speak out again his last of a period in the washington post two weeks after his murder it's titled what the arab world needs most is freedom of expression summed up the course for which he died i'm advised i'm just. well joining us now is rami where he is a senior fellow and professor at the american university of beirut thanks very much for being with us rami so i want to ask you first of all about these reports in the washington post that. family in saudi arabia have been given money and so-called blood money payments what do you make of that well you have to assume that the washington post checked this out carefully and believes
4:17 pm
it's correct that the money is being paid. what's not clear is what is the purpose of the money if it's supposed to silence the family from making any criticisms of the family hasn't made any real public criticisms as far as we know criticizing the government if that's the purpose than the it's pretty bad news the saudis would probably say that this is the tradition of helping compensate families who have suffered an injustice or a crime of some sort but it certainly looks like hush money to try to keep them quiet if it is the latter it's not going to work if it's the former that this is just the way the so these do things then that's fine but there's still a problem of the killers of the have to be held accountable. and how would you assess saudi arabia's relations not just with the united states but its place in the world as a result. of this killing i mean many people at times said that this would be
4:18 pm
a watershed moment there would be a fundamental reevaluation of how other countries deal with the kingdom has that happened i think we're going through a really historic moment the answer is yes to answer your questions yes this is a significant moment there has been a serious reassessment by many important players around the world about their relationships with the so these and the culpability of the so this is not just for killing her should be but for what they've done in yemen and what they've done internally what they've done in the region around lebanon and other things that they've done around the region the so duz basically have always had two major criteria that help them achieve their policies one is their moral standing as the guardians of so on the islam as they see themselves the holy places the second one is unless some months of money neither of those are going to be enough to cover up the killings of the killing of hundreds in the dismemberment and the dissolving his
4:19 pm
body of that's what actually happened which seems to be the case that what's happened is that after forty fifty years of the world basically kowtow into the so it isn't being nice to them because they want their money now their contracts and not a lot of people including the american congress the german government the many other people around the individual countries like norway and of canada and others are saying look the saudis have to be held accountable for any kind of criminal or an ethical or in human behavior which is not just the killing of her surgery but the continuous lying and covering up of the deed and this is a historic moment where people are saying neither of them. in nor your moral standing will be able to cover up for this crime so it feels like a taboo has been broken absolutely this is a important moment and then the some people are still trying to be on good terms with the soul of this because they want their money people in the arab world people
4:20 pm
in asia or other places but many people in the western world and many people in their world are really angry at the so there's and demand some kind of accountability which of course should be demanded of all people in their world or israel or turkey or iran or anywhere else who commit crimes but in this case this is a dramatic focus now on the saudis i'm sure which is killing good to speak with us always thanks so much for being with us now algeria's president says he will leave office by the end of the month after twenty years in power but it's not clear whether the announcement from the office of abdelaziz bouteflika will be enough for the millions of protesters who've taken to the streets they want the whole political establishment to change until i get the reports. after being abandoned by algerian military leaders it was perhaps only a matter of time before president abdelaziz bouteflika was forced to name a date for his departure it came in the form of a statement read on state television confirming beautifully will resign before his
4:21 pm
twenty year rule runs out on april the twenty eight the eighty two year old has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke six years ago critics say he's become little more than a front man the military and business leaders who really run the country. weeks of growing protests force beautifully and his back is to reverse his decision to stand for a fifth term but neither that nor a cabinet reshuffle the satisfy protesters who are demanding the entire political elite be replaced. taken a long time already he should have resigned a long time ago in two thousand and fourteen he shouldn't even have thought of running again everyone must go nobody should stay for help the people are asking for everyone to leave the government meaning put a freak out on his clan to stop announcing every time the departure of somebody and the return of somebody else no they must all go and let the people decide this.
4:22 pm
deputy defense minister and army chief of staff guide salah has repeatedly called for the president to step down or be declared unfit for office but he's been locked in a power struggle with beautifully because influential brother saeed analysts say there's been confusion among algeria's ruling elite about how to respond to the protests. i think people are against a transitional period that is run by the regime because the will be a transitional period actually april twenty eighth when the official time the president with a will be older but the question is who will want to transition period in the current regime runs the pediatrician period then. the revolution or the demands are definitely not met the protesters. the government is saying it will listen but nothing will change in algeria victoria gayton be al jazeera. or turkey's ruling party is challenging local election results in the capital ankara and in istanbul
4:23 pm
it claims there were mistakes in the process president richard type ones act party is on course to lose control of both cities it's won every merrill election in istanbul since one thousand nine hundred four but unofficial results are giving the opposition candidates a narrow lead and i speak to our correspondent who is in istanbul for us so tomorrow how founded are these concerns by the party about the way these elections were handled. well that's for the electoral commission to look into and decide obviously there is a deadline or there was a deadline of midday g.m.t. three pm local time here so that's just gone over an hour ago for any complaints or grievances to be submitted and then the electoral commission has between a minimum of three days to a maximum of ten to look into those and decide whether they will uphold or the
4:24 pm
initial results or specific recounts to either specific boxes or generally which is unprecedented through the entire area that is being disputed or means it's your city in this case obviously the most significant one being istanbul and ankara the act party one of their. spokespeople came out on t.v. in the past hour and they showed pictures of they say boxes and. papers that showed that those boxes were counted as having zero votes for the ak party's mayoral candidate former prime minister been a dream whereas in effect they actually had. in them that were picked or crossed with next to his name so they say they have enough evidence that would support such a claim it's important to note that there's always claims of miscounts or some sort of irregularities after the elections in turkey but with such a high rate of participation that's always the above eighty percent it's been very
4:25 pm
difficult to see how some sort of vote rigging can take place so if something like this was established this time around it would certainly be extremely unprecedented one of the things that are backing up the at parties claims they say is the fact that in istanbul specifically they got more than two thirds of the council seats and when you look at the disparity in terms of just how well they did in council seats compared to how. bad relatively speaking they did in terms of the mayor then that gap is so big that that in and of itself would merit a recount however the opposition would say well when the councillors were running for those seats there were so many different parties contesting for the council seats whereas for the mayoral position the opposition all united behind one person and therefore the votes weren't divided and that's why there is that disparity nonetheless it is a very or twirls a very tight race the results are extremely tight it's working just by
4:26 pm
a few thousands in the largest most populous city here in istanbul whichever which way it goes is significant if it does get reversed then there will be a lot of dissent and i'm growing stones of the opposition supporters who felt that they had finally made their breakthrough if it doesn't go their way and go through the opposition and not the act party then the our party has essentially been shocked to its core and its base here or maybe one of its strongest plea places here is stumble. in stamboul forests thanks to a man. it's going to look at the world weather now his cabin it is that time of year we're watching a lot of the tropical moisture make its way to the north we've been reporting on a lot of areas have been flooded and here is another one i want to take you to ecuador and show you what has happened there over the last forty eight hours you can see the showers that are popping up on the coast well take a look at the video that has come in from sleet today and it shows how devastating the flash flooding has been just in the last forty eight hours we're now talking over twenty people have died because of the flash flooding in thirty thousand
4:27 pm
people have been displaced and as you can see it's going to take quite a while for this water to recede because now they are entering into that tropical season heavy rain is expected over the next next couple days as we go towards wednesday it looks like it's going to get even heavier across much of that area so we'll be watching that for any other problems that occur there and i want to take you over here towards the western part of europe we are looking at some severe weather that is happening across much of this area in terms of winds as well as we are looking at significant rain coming in across much of the area temperature wise they are dropping and we are going to be seeing places like zurich dropping from about fourteen degrees as we go towards the next couple days we are looking at single digits with plenty of snow across much of that area we are looking at snow across the alps as well as heavy rain across much of italy but as we go towards thursday temperatures still going to be quite low up towards u.k. with london at nine. thanks kevin now still ahead on our visit of the race to contain cholera in mozambique nine hundred thousand doses of vaccine are on the way
