3:18 am
friday. and then through the wet bit into the drawbridge again opposite season of course for almost all of southern africa is the lacking in reading this time here this is correct it should be every now and again you get frontal system is going across your south after time will see the cloud return. it was a breeze it's not like cold 19 degrees. bottles in cameroons rivers. on. plastic is everywhere. but if bottles can be fishing bouts. i'm bubblegum wellington boots what more can be done with this plague of palomas. earthrise reimagining plastic. on al-jazeera. more than 10 years after the global financial crisis you've taken home more than
3:19 am
$480000000.00 your company is now bankrupt our economy is in the state of crisis of a very basic question this is where millions lost their homes in the us. who's held responsible i will be fabulously wealthy and i will not pay any price for it thank the lord the man who stole the wood on al-jazeera. and again you want yat-zar a reminder of our top stories this hour and the murder of democracy g. is an extra judicial killing for which saudi arabia is responsible that is
3:20 am
according to a damning report of the u.n. special report. the u.n. secretary general and tony a terrorist to launch a criminal inquiry into the case you could terrorist spokesman says he does not have the authority to do that. and saudi arabia says it's can look into the case he describes the special investigative report as full of click contradictions and banks with allegations. arrest warrants have been issued for suspects in the shooting down of malaysia airlines flight flights 5 years ago a dutch investigators say 3 russians and one ukrainian national are being charged with murder all 283 passengers and 15 crew. site back to our top story in the u.n. special report said that saudi arabia is responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi the journalists was a u.s. resident and i guess callum allah says the washington should also investigate and bring those involved to justice well u.s. senator lindsey graham
3:21 am
a member of the senate foreign relations committee says america will not ignore saudis actions in the case. well to me we've got 2 different problems we've got a problem with the behavior in saudi arabia this out of the norm this inconsistent with being a strategic ally we've got a problem and it's got to be addressed you got a problem with iran you can do 2 things at once we're not going to give. us a pass because of iran we're going to forcefully deal with i think was an outrage just. an act of barbaric barbaric act and we're going push back against the iranians at the same time. well that's what senior political analysts mangeshkar who joins us from london emma was so what do you make of this and the likely u.s. involvement of the administration. well clearly the white house does not see eye to eye with congress on what to do next about saudi arabia historically
3:22 am
speaking congress has always been more critical than the white house the white house has generally pursued a policy of appeasement and of pragmatism with the kingdom hoping to get more money what investments more trade and certainly more oil out of the kingdom throughout the last 4050 years and more congress on the other hand has generally been more careful certainly after $911.00 when 15 out of the 19 airplane hijackers that bombed was the altered centers and the pentagon were saudis and our saudi nationals and 7 so congress have always had the critical view of saudi arabia and the way it conducts itself and certainly with the killing of the gap between the white house and congress why didn't it specially that both the republicans and democrats are united mostly on this issue that the united states needs to have
3:23 am
a more critical approach to or saudi arabia a less present from disagrees he thinks setting beautiful weapons as he put it to the saudi arabia and getting hundreds of billions of dollars in trade and investment is more important than the ethical and moral questions involved among what about this point of difference between the special rapporteur and the u.n. secretary general that kind of saying that untenable terrorists can conduct. a criminal inquiry and he says he is going to come from a 3rd party country. well of course since i'm not a legal scholar i can give you my political assessment of this thing clearly she's independent clearly she speaks with a professional an ethical voice devout of any political consideration clearly being independent she doesn't feel any political pressures on the other hand the sekret
3:24 am
general of course is a secular general that is accountable to especially the 5. veto members of the united nations security council and he knows all too well that if you goes down that path that it will not be looked at positively by neither washington moscow or beijing for that matter may be the french and the british would go along if an investigation is scattered maybe because that's all remember that also france and britain are sort of critical of germany because germany wants to put a stop at selling weapons so the area so who all in all i mean i'm laughing because it's just so tragic it's a tragic comedy of sort that all 5 members of the u.n. security council more happy appeasing saudi arabia despite the war in yemen despite the various crises that it manufactured and despite the killing of. again paris
