before the murder of jamal khashoggi along with saudi arabia's involvement in that ongoing war in yemen thank you mike mike hanna in washington d.c. let's get some analysis now and speak tomorrow on bashar our senior political analyst in london for a small one 1st of all you've seen the report you've heard what i've missed colum i had to say what do you make of this and do you think it's going to lead to any accountability in the murder of jamal khashoggi. well certainly it's proved to be a process not an easy one but certainly. not an ambiguous one the case is being built whether the leaders like it or not clearly despite all attempts be are and. mohamed bin solomons all eyes in washington he doesn't seem like he's able to escape accountability the idea that there is evidence that they're now requires further investigation on such high authority by
10:01 pm
an international body like the un human rights council i think probably not just the case forward and put some more spot light on on the saudi leaders and demands of course more answers now or whether the saudis will comply doesn't seem like it but whether they will also try to shift the focus on something else within the kingdom like today they're trying to. you know stop the religious police from exercising what used to be controversial activity within the kingdom or as we've heard earlier maybe something on the yemeni side or something on the bahraini side for the good of the century certainly the saudis would try to refocus their attention elsewhere but i think this is an important day in this accountability a process for the killing of us with the saudi crown prince monod bin salman has claimed that the matter of jamal khashoggi is being exploited for political gain d. think that is resonating anywhere at all in the world right now he is expected to
10:02 pm
be at the g 20 summit of course in japan next week how do you think he's going to be received now that this report is out. you know if i may say so what if it's if it's exploited for political purposes since when anything is not exploited for political purposes does it make it right i mean the whole point of it is this that arrogance that preaches a certain degree of idiocy of getting such an extrajudicial killing in a consulate in a faraway country i mean this is the issue it's not the issue whether it's going to be exploited politically or not we're live in a world where of course there's lots of cynics some pragmatists and competitors that would always use whatever there is for political purposes but the point being this this is these are not mutually exclusive issues if so and you arabia is responsible for the killing of a journalist which seems it is then there needs to be accountability not the
10:03 pm
problem with all of this foley is that until only a few days ago a former editor in chief of a newspaper in the kingdom close to the authorities. have called for the bombing of al-jazeera have called the for the bombing of a network next door in cutter so there's no repentance here i mean the idea that saudi arabia continues on the same path. demoralizing journalists after the killing of a journalist. talking about the bombing of a network so this has to stop juba lists need not be targeted for reporting the facts about what's going on around the world we are doing an essential service for people around the world for democracies are not democracies so the idea that we are targeted as a journalist the idea that jamal khashoggi was killed for fulfilling his mission someone needs to be held accountable for that and also apparently as we heard from
10:04 pm
the u.n. special report is so do officials and notably the crown prince mohammed bin sultan thank you very much marwan marwan bashar is a senior political political analyst in london there for us now more now from my interview with agnes kalamata the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings she also said she thinks the united states should be more involved in investigating jamal has show just met. the sick consensus of the killing of mr cashel are so grave in terms of the violations of international law that in my opinion meet the threshold of a of seriousness required for universal jurisdiction so that the 1st point i am making with regard to the responsibilities of states besides turkey i am suggesting that the united states has a stake in india killing nice and solving the killing mr cashel he was
10:05 pm
a resident of the united states his words a norn and re known member of the press corps in the united states and in many ways in my opinion the embodiment of full dominant taller freedom and principle within the american constitution which is a 1st amendment for those reasons i believe the united states as a state in full swing all means the polls all to ensure that accountability is delivered including a trial period let's hear from robert ford who is the former u.s. ambassador to syria and iraq via skype from maine in the united states thank you very much for speaking to us all eyes on washington now and the trump administration they've been reports that it's been pressing saudi arabia to show tangible progress towards holding to account those behind to my shirt is killing do
10:06 pm
you think this reports now by the un special rapporteur or will put more pressure on the administration to put more pressure on the saudis. i don't think the united nations report by itself is going to change the trump administration's approach on the. murder or its policy on saudi arabia in general more than anything else more than anything else the trumpet administration wants to maintain good relations with saudi arabia because of the american concern confrontation with iran it's no secret didn't do that the us administration has prioritize security and economic interests in relations with saudi arabia but what about the us congress this seems to be a complete divide between the tribe but mr nation and congress could the response the answer come from the us congress well you're absolutely right there is
10:07 pm
a divide between the democratic party in the congress and the trumpet ministration democrats in the house of representatives are trying to block arms sales to saudi arabia the trumpet ministration is trying to get around those democratic party efforts in the house and representatives there's quite a bit of. dispute between the white house and the democrats in the congress not clear yet where that will go and play a way that will go what do you think it's going to take for the trump administration to point to directly point the finger of blame at the saudi leadership and the crown prince mohammed bin salman. frankly speaking i don't think the trumpet ministration will ever do that. it is not an administration which is
10:08 pm
particularly concerned about human rights in general and it is especially now concerned about human rights violations among allies in the middle east if for example hasn't even commented yet on the death of mohamed morsi in egypt and it's not going to go punish saudi arabia for the. murder i think the trump administrator would be happy if the saudis themselves punished a few of the lower level officials involved in the murder but i think people will be disappointed if they are waiting for the trump administration to take a very tough action against the saudi crown prince and they're going to be disappointed frankly if they're hoping the americans are going to open a big investigation they will not if not the americans who then do you think good deeds action here i mean the special rapper tori is calling for an international
10:09 pm
criminal and international investigation where could that come from. i think the only possibility would be for an individual nation perhaps in europe or. in some other place to have its own investigation. that has been done for example with some of the syrian officials involved in crimes in syria war crimes in syria and then to bring the complaints to the courts of that particular country i don't know which one that would be germany spain there are different possibilities but i think above all viewers to the program should understand that there is no international mechanism for holding the country responsible for human rights violations and oppression taken against its own
10:10 pm
citizens ambassador ford thank you so much for talking to us very good to get to get your thoughts and insight on this robert ford is a former u.s. ambassador to syria he was joining us there from maine thank you for your time my pleasure. and other world news arrest warrants have been issued for 4 suspects in the shooting down of malaysia airlines flight 70 dutch investigators say 3 russians and one ukrainian national being charged with murder all $283.00 passengers and 15 crew were killed when m.h. 17 was shot down over eastern ukraine in july 24th rails i need some of. even though they have not pushed the button themselves there's suspicion they closely cooperate to obtain the missile and position to launch site with the goal of shooting a plane therefore they can be considered suspects together for shooting m h 17 in

10:12 pm
basically what happened is that the investigators found that the book mistrial launcher was brought in from russia it was basically the section of the 53rd anti missile brigade that was brought in just before the shooting down happened and basically the people on the ground have fired that missile as the investigator said he doesn't know exactly at the moment who has pushed the button but he said those people have some kind of responsibility but the investigation doesn't stop here the investigators also say they want to know who from russia from the russian federation has given the order to bring the lethal weapon into eastern ukraine thank you steps and in moscow for us. iran's defense minister has rejected allegations that tehran is behind the suspected attacks on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman last week a maritime a disputes a video released by the u.s.
