story continues it won't go away it's going to put more pressure on him in terms of the international level of the investigation now in terms the international parameters in which countries can put pressure either on the u.n. or either on saudi arabia as a sovereign state where does this in your opinion lie where does the real traction need to come from a coding to hashem our correspondent there in istanbul it seems that the turks once they digested the report may be able to deliver a letter potentially to the u.n. wanting that international investigation wanting that international jurisdiction investigation started by the u.n. secretary general wants once that mandate is received. well i think that. as your. as reported. that you know you don't need the letter but in fact the u.n. it's in the u.n. court right now simply to proceed with the investigation the problem is the saudis

are absolutely not going to cooperate they're going to continue to deny and up and up us kate and prevent any any investigation why because it involves an evidently been solomonic and that's not to say that the pressure shouldn't be maintained i think it should be i think this this report gives the opportunity now to to try and force some sort of accountability on marvin's saddam on whether that will play out or i don't i don't really know but what i do know is that there are people who are looking at that psalm on and if you think about saudi arabia as a multinational corporation if you will and mom and simon as you know you have to be really wondering is this a guy that i want to put a whole lot of money into and out of there are businesses who are still looking askance at what he did and other businesses who are you know about effectively saying you know what we don't think you can deliver on vision 2030 we're not prepared to put the sort of support in that you are going to need to make it happen so these kinds of questions will have huge implications for mom and someone ok well

we'll see what does happen for the moment to below thanks so much for joining us from london thank you. now the emir of kuwait is making his 1st state visit to iraq since saddam hussein's forces invaded in 1990 the arrival of shit. in but it does it is being seen as a bid to lower tension in the gulf coast toys of both iran and the united states is our correspondent keeping things for us in baghdad a significant visit. was his heightened tensions in the region that need to become . yeah that's right so hill this visit would be significant even if it didn't come at this particular time in the reason for that is because this is the 1st state visit by the koichi in me or 2 now he's been here before he was here for an arab league meeting in 2012 but that was under much different circumstances now he's the head of a delegation they are here to talk about bilateral relations to try to improve the

relationship more between and kuwait but really we must say that what's topping the agenda here has to do with what's going on in the region right now namely the increasing tensions between the u.s. and iran those countries both the biggest allies. because feeling increasingly squeezed between these powers and you just have to look at the statement that was issued by the news agency yesterday when they announced that shifts about how to hit us about what's coming to us up they said that his visit comes amid rising and unprecedented tensions and developments witnessed by the region particularly the act which targeted the safety of oil supplies through destruction and strikes on oil and commercial vessels now the queta emir arrived about 2 hours ago he was greeted at the airport by iraq's prime minister i've adopted the we are told that he is currently at the palace in but that where he is meeting with iraqi president

at home saddam as well as the prime minister and other it out the officials and we expect that there will be a press briefing with more details about all that this visit encompasses a little bit later in the day so here for the moment but i'm going to leave it. like that. president's scathing about his country's commitments of the 2050 need to deal is the minimum he's taking a rising tensions with the u.s. they also refuse to negotiate with his american killed pulled in could it come on jump me game despite what some countries say what we are doing is the least we could do the other side has not only violated its commitments but also reduced to the me. the spirit of the g c p or the nuclear agreement is to strengthen economic and trade relations that spirit is under question due to actions from the other side. and around the defense minister has rejected allegations that iran is behind the attacks on 2 all because in the gulf of oman last week amir how to me disputes a video released by the u.s.

navy that it says links iran to the incident american says the boat scene next to the tanker is a rainy and. restaurants have been issued for 4 suspects in the shooting down of the malaysian airlines flight m h 17 a dutch led investigation released a report into the incident a few moments ago 17 were shot down over eastern ukraine in july 24th teen while it was flying over territory held by russian backed armed groups investigators have previously linked the bizarre that hit the plane to the russian military all 283 passengers and 15 crew are killed dutch officials say russia had refused to cooperate with the investigation steadfast and joins me now live from moscow the suspects apparently unknown a trial date has been set what else is being said by that investigation and the press conference that's still ongoing. yes it's still ongoing the joint investigate investigation team is still

a briefing the media right now but they have already announced the 4 names of 3 russian former russian army personnel high officers and also one ukrainian man they all have been involved according to the investigation team with the transport of the book misfile who basically the anti aircraft missiles who downed the mh 17 on saturday teen july 2014 and they were very well in order in the in the organization command structure of this operation the police also said they have handed over they will hand over today arrest warrants for these 4 people international arrest warrants and they also will send their. indictments to the russian federation also today to make sure that the russian government. people of their indictment and notifies them off their international arrest warrant the police has also strictly said that they're not actually asking for any extradite

extradite men off these people because according to the constitution both in ukraine and in russia it's not allowed to extradite any people so basically the investigation is still ongoing but this trial on march 20 2020 will start already but police also said that they will keep investigating all these details and in fact witness accounts that they have been receiving and they hope to receive a lot more for the moods that will even though of course await for more information as it comes out of that press conference and russian reaction to thank you. but opposition politicians are pushing for a vote of no confidence against the city's leader kerry lamb a day after she apologized for trying to rush through changes to the extradition law members of the legislative council meeting for the 1st time since huge protests forced the government to suspend the bill demonstrators flooding the streets until the extradition changes

audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. they're almost small on their own that's how that they're on the. and that's the way al-jazeera is of all the true media network. going to a has just gone past $1130.00 g.m.t. and we're breaking in for more now on our developing story out of geneva where the u.n. special operators investigation into the death of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi agnes column on has released a report that paints a very damning picture of saudi arabia's role in what can mock holds an execution she says the responsibility is clear and an international investigation is needed into the murder of jamal khashoggi the report calls the death inside the turkish

consulate in istanbul inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october an extrajudicial killing for which sounded arabia is responsible column on calls for further investigation of the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including khan prince mohammed bin salman the report details taped conversations about body does poles also in the moments before arrival at the consulate agnes connemara says the killing is an international crime with the universal jurisdiction and she's urging a criminal inquiry by the united nations we're very pleased to now welcome to al-jazeera the united nations special wrapper tour on extrajudicial executions agnes connemara live from geneva thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us given what you have found firsts in a very straightforward question who is responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi. the state of saudi arabia is

1st and foremost responsible for it for the murder i think it's important to and cyst that the executor of mr cashel you was a killing by was a state we are focused extensively on the identity of various individuals that where involved in the commission of the crime but 1st and foremost we must turn system putting the responsibility of the killing towards the state of saudi arabia it must bear responsibility for that killing and we must take action as a state to repay or killing did the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin salman directly ordered a show does matter. i have found no evidence. regarding who ordered the killing it doesn't mean that the evidence does not exist it just means that i was not able to or to locate it what i would like to highlight

as well is the fact that the response ability to force state killings does mean that we need to be more sophisticated in the way we define responsibilities of course who ordered is important but there are a branch of other responsibilities that are involved in the commission of the crime that are very similar to what we called the chain of command responsibilities in a in a military setting but to prime that concept to a civilian setting saw east somebody responsible for inciting directly or indirectly our deed somebody failed to prevent did somebody fail to stop the exit you should so this is why you have called for a criminal investigation to see exactly should solve that dos responsibilities can

be identified but what you say miss calamine in the report that there is a lot of circumstantial information and you say that a bare at a bare minimum you say that the saudi crown prince condole and this behavior and condone the actions that led to the murder of. absolutely i am pointing out that the commission the execution of the killing of mr cash or sprees he did over the year by a rancher of regulations that have been when a reported denounced and money to there is no way the highest level of the of the state of saudi arabia including the crown prince well not aware of those repeated violations therefore for the 12 months at least that preceded the exit you should of mr there were many opportunities to take step to prevent and stop further violations door steps where not taken the exit to sion of mr cashel de force within

that context within a campaign. directed at people perceived to be undermining or frightening the state the breast cancer of those in charge of the state is just engaged so talk us through then the sequence of events from what you have studied to what extent was jamal has showed g.'s murder premeditated. so based on the information that was made available to me including. some some 17 minutes of recording in the days and on the day of these exit there is little doubt in my mind that the killing morse premeditated it course planned with equal splendor as the 1st objective or whether it was planned

as a 2nd objective that i could not determine it may be possible that the primary objective was the kidnapping of mr casualty which is all saw by the way and it wished to and sister pondered a violation of international human rights law it is possible that the kidnapping was a 1st objective and though the killing as a as an option if the kidnapping field but steps were taken before the as fault of the preparation of the mission to plan for a possible war or an actual exit you should what steps precisely from what you heard in the audio tapes that were submitted to you because as you know the saudis have said that this was an operation that went wrong that was a botched operation what steps did they take prior to jamal khashoggi entering the saudi cancel it. yes absolutely.

the the team that our i have identified as having exit q to the killing of mr casually included a forensic doctor it is very difficult to imagine that sure we include a forensic doctor in a team for the purpose of only carrying out. an abduction that's the 1st thing 2nd the recording before the execution it's a recording i have been able to to listen to we my personal interpreter of those recordings and tickets that an hour before the killing the the dismemberment of mr casualties body was already discussed by the doctor and or the individual daws are indication in my view that at the minimum the killing

was indeed planned and and prepared for the recordings that you talk about were provided to you by turkish officials correct yes these are the recording provided to him by turkish official and what did you learn in these recordings about the way jamal has showed g.'s body was disposed of because his remains have still not been found. indeed these remain have not been found and i must highlight the fact that the recordings needs to be interpreted they do not tell a very straightforward story. what was done to use body i cannot deduct. i have a home and i can infer from the sound that something was done based on the technique or. knowledge of the various people i have consented it is well possible that mr

cashel game was 1st put that he would 1st injected with something and then that he was actually asphyxiated weezer plastic bag this is the possibility the nature and the extent of the dismemberment of these bodied these i cannot comment upon its not possible allow me to add one thing when at least this was a recording is concerned that i have when mr cashel loses consciousness there is not even some of the people that are there in the room attempting to take care of him the 10002 recitative team attempting to do something that to me points to the fact that the notion that there is an accident that the next event happened that doesn't quite match what i have heard

there is nor tempt to to do something and there is no scream so or. any expression of of fear over what is happening do you think that there is anyone today who knows where the remains of jamal khashoggi are. or yes absolutely and who think that people that were in the room the people there disposed of the body. you know they're out there where 15 individuals involved in that mission. do you think the saudi leadership know where the remains are. i don't know i mean ninoy love between be. so i really don't want to on this is not something i have tried to or determine ok you will be

presenting this column are this report i understand on june 26th to the u.n. human rights council which saudi arabia is a member of what do you think is going to happen what do you hope will happen now that you've released this report. you know my report makes a friend of recommendations including to saudi arabia as a special rapporteur i am committed to establishing constructive relationship preserve the governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months they are not shown any interest in doing so or my reporting proves around every comment issue including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to step that. should take to demonstrate not a repetition which is a from them and told to mention of their responsibilities given that they have

established that the responsibility of the state is in board not repetition and we mean him or were there things to to treat all of that are currently and prison or arrested for the basis on the basis of the peaceful expression of their opinions and surely a follow up investigation into the the security services and the how such an executive could have been carried out by members of the security services so to me the the obligation of non picture shows what i am placing a lot of emphasis on and i'm calling on the authorities of saudi arabia to take the necessary steps to demonstrate to the international community that they are indeed kmita 20 sure that these crimes he's never repeated do you think they are committed how have the saudis been forthcoming with information about this trial that is that

is ongoing inside syria as you say of suspects involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi. look i'm not going to make it a personal issue the fact that the saudi arabian government does not want to choose to work with me does not necessarily mean that they are not.
