president spared no effort to show how much he supported the saudi era parents widely believed to have been behind partial trees killing a recent u.n. report slate blamed for the murder with the saudi states and called for an investigation of involvement at the highest level. despite both u.s. and saudi attempts to ignore last october's murder in istanbul turkey as president roger tabor to one raise the case at a media conference during the summit insisting that the international community has a duty to bring those responsible to accounts the wheezy maybe. they don't need to look elsewhere for the perpetrator in fact there are the lies that the former foreign minister said and the lies they made in b.s.a. it's so clear what else should i say they need to reveal this the documents are there the recordings are there 1st and foremost a human was killed. asked again later in the day and president trumped this time trolls not to ignore the question saying he had faith in saudi arabia's criminal
12:01 am
justice system did you raise the killing of jamal can show he went in and why was there yes yes i asked him what was happening and he was telling me that i think he said 13 but it could be more and i think he said more in the works that there are large numbers of people being prosecuted he's very angry about it he's very unhappy about it despite the photo ops and the warm welcomes there is still a great deal of stigma associated with mohamed bin said a man who many believe is responsible for the killing. unless an international investigation is carried out questions will continue to be oscar especially who gave the order to murder the journalist and what happened to his corpse. osaka so as we've already mentioned now president tom is in south korea he's hoping that they'll be a meeting with kim jong un the north korean leader at the d.m.z. bride reports from the south korean capital seoul. president donald trump in seoul
12:02 am
for his long anticipated visit with the future direction of relations with north korea in the balance. he is the guest of his south korean counterpart moon j.n. who's been a significant influence in encouraging dialogue with the north but since fabrice failure of the hanoi summit between president trump and kim jong un the processes stormed north korea has returned to some of its hostile rhetoric and seems to blame south korea in part for the failure in hanoi for south korea a successful trump visit would help restore moon's position as an important intermediary with the u.s. administrator or i think they're also interested in sending a message to north korea. the moon still has some sway with the administration. when the administration is perhaps willing to move and be a little bit more flexible than the north koreans can believe him the highlight of
12:03 am
this trip is expected to be trump's visit to the demilitarized zone separating the 2 koreas and the intriguing prospect of a meeting with kim jong un after a saturday morning tweet that he would meet him at the border just to shake his hand and say hello. trump's visit has been greeted by competing protests on the streets of seoul right wing groups among them veterans of the korean war a firmly in support of the alliance with the u.s. and welcome its president although some are uneasy about the prospect of a handshake with kim on the d.m.z. . we've been fooled for decking i think the fact that we're still talking to kim jong un and trusting him at all is a problem in itself. but a number of liberal left wing groups are also out protesting in opposition to transfer is it they say here standing in the way of peace by keeping in place sanctions against north korea by continuing military exercises between the u.s.
12:04 am
and south korean forces. after the 1st u.s. north korea summit north korea destroyed their nuclear facilities but the u.s. did nothing and trump sank the hanoi summit more pro and anti trump protests are expected as this weekend unfolds with everyone it seems unsure exactly how this visit will play out robert bright al-jazeera sold. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including reports in the u.s. that investigations underway as to how some of its weapons got into the high end of the libyan warlord. and the threat of a major earthquake in the philippines we'll look at how the government is responding to that threat. in sport argentina set up a blockbuster semifinal at the copper america in brazil will be here with that
12:05 am
story. now according to the new york times the u.s. state department is investigating how america made weapons got into the hands of fighters who are loyal to the libyan war after a number of antitank missiles were found on friday after forces allied to the u.n. backed government in tripoli retook kerri-anne that's a city about 80 kilometers south of the capital now libyan media showing these images which appear to be american made weapons branded with the u.a.e. as the recipient now if indeed the emirates did provide these weapons it would be a violation of arms sales agreements with the united states. to weapons and ammunitions have been sent to the specialized experts and have been
12:06 am
documented the military commanders and political leaders are now fully aware of these weapons and ammunitions to make the right decisions that will be announced. right we've got 2 correspondents on this we've got rob reynolds in washington 1st so let's go to the libyan capital tripoli and our correspondent there mahmoud up to what and mahmoud this recapturing of gary and has provided evidence what some are suggesting is evidence of u.s. weapons having been sent to the u.a.e. and they're now in the hands of his forces. we'll. now according to the spokesman of the army there were some army led by the government there are experts and concerned commissions are now investigating those weapons and the spokesman said today in a presser from city that the fact finding mission is going to
12:07 am
investigate those weapons and send reports outside of libya maybe possibly he means to the united nations and the united states but as you know the a.t.g. missiles these are observed missiles anti tank misses were found dozens of them were found by the government forces as the recaptured this through egypt town of of it again about 80800 kilometers to the south from the capital tripoli but we know martine that the united arab emirates has according to the government spokesman today the united arab emirates has supplied those weapons and other weapons including get drawn and. fighter jets to the world have that we understand that the united has been providing have to do with weapons ammunition
12:08 am
and fighter jets since he launched his military campaign not only to recapture or to take control of the capital tripoli but in 2014 when he 1st launch of his military campaign known as operation dignity in the east of libya martin mark would thank you very much for that let's go to our correspondent rob reynolds in washington now if indeed this is the case and klute is talking about dozens of anti missile. anti-tank missiles or other drones and of fighter jets if this is indeed the case that u.s. weapons sold to the u.a.e. have found their way into the hands of her leave how big a breach is that of u.s. regulations. well these are very sophisticated weapons 14 the javelin. tank rocket is manufactured by the 2 u.s. defense giants lockheed martin and raytheon they're capable of taking out any battle tank on the field anywhere in the world and so these are sophisticated
12:09 am
weapons and this would be certainly a serious breach we did reach out to the u.s. department of state and we received the following from a spokesperson telling al-jazeera we take all allegations of misuse of u.s. origin defense articles very seriously we are aware of these reports and are seeking him additional information we expect all recipients of u.s. origin defense equipment to abide by the end to use obligations now and use obligations means that if the united states sells an item such as this weapon to the u.a.e. it requires the u.a.e. to keep it and not pass it on to another. country another armed group a warlord or what have you the statement also says that a lasting peace in libya is only possible through a political solution it calls upon all parties to return to the un guided political mediation talks and for
12:10 am
a ceasefire in and around tripoli it's unclear martine what exactly the united states would do because it. would do if the usa were found in some very specific and concrete way to of violated these end user agreements because the u.a.e. is after all a very important ally of the united states and president trump has indicated that u.s. weapons sales are for him a priority rob reynolds live in washington thank you very much. now 5 children are among 8 people killed in yemen in air strikes led by the saudi u.a.e. coalition warplanes struck a residential area in a hooty controlled part of thais fighting in southern yemen killed 12 yemeni soldiers and 8 the rebels the u.n. special representative for children in conflict says the yemeni people are being held hostage by the war which is now into its 5th year. now to sudan where the
12:11 am
military rulers have accepted proposals to work towards a civilian led government the proposals for mediation by ethiopia and the african union now this is an apparent breakthrough part demonstrations on sunday are being planned to keep up the pressure for change rights groups want safety guarantees from the military following the killing of around 100 protesters earlier this month the military claims infiltrators impersonating security forces were to blame for the violence. the soonest possible a government that is accepted by all sides and its people i want to say to those who have called for more massive the most versions that we are not against the people and we're not against peace but we have to understand that infiltrators is there and they're willing to upload their hidden agendas we don't need troubles on the. right let's have a look then at what this new proposal contains
12:12 am
a sovereign council to oversee the transition would be made up of 7 civilians and 7 military officers one more seat for an independent member a legislative assembly is proposes nominated by the people and excluding members of the former ruling party and its allies and the executive body would be made up of ministers and the prime minister nominated by the forces of freedom and change so that main opposition group thing though hasn't issued a statement on these proposals because some of the factions refused to make further concessions to the military rulers. right let's speak now to david shinn in washington he's a former deputy chief of mission at the u.s. embassy in sudan a former u.s. ambassador as well to ethiopia it's a new knows the region well. first of all i'm just wondering do you think do you trust the transitional military council in their apparent agreement to follow this mediation proposal put forward by you and the a. well the key is always to trust but verify or frankly no one has
12:13 am
any choice but to go forward with this and hope that indeed the transitional military council is about pursuing an agreement with the opposition right and what do you make of the. freedom and change coalition they haven't been exactly kahira and it would appear in terms of what their demands are and how they engage with the military council would you agree with that well to some extent that's true but one must keep in mind that it represents many many different groupings and sudan's that's really not realistic to expect them to be in full agreement on everything is to some extent a disorganized group but on the other hand it's surprisingly well organized in view of the pressure they continue to put on the military and to move forward with this
12:14 am
important breakthrough of genuine negotiations and trying to pursue an outcome that will avoid the the deaths that occurred on june 3 s. so it's a very important step forward right so how fragile would you say is the revolution and the demands i mean how how delicate is this moment insofar as it could be lost the military could needs to they just need to sit there and play a waiting game surely. well it is very fragile and you're quite right the military could play a waiting game and this is where organisations like the african union the government of ethiopia which deserve great credit for moving this issue forward come into play in addition to the entire international community on the united states putting pressure on the transitional military council to take all of this seriously and to move forward with a democratic transition in sudan which is in the interest of everyone and also countries like saudi arabia egypt and the u.a.e.
12:15 am
that have been supporting the military council that need to get on board with this program right. and similarly we could also look at what appears to be disengagement on the part of the united states if the united states and other big play as i'm not prepared to to step up and really support the transition process to civilian rule what chance is that given that they the military council has such powerful reasonal backus both in north africa and the gulf well the united states the european union china russia others all need to get behind this process i wouldn't say that the united states has disappeared from the scene the assistant secretary of state for african affairs to barnard and on both this new special representative for sudan were were in sudan and ethiopia recently and i think behind the scenes they're putting on pressure but we need to continue to up that pressure and be very
12:16 am
vocal and supporting this process. ambassador david shane in washington thank you very much. we've got a lot more to come on this out is there a news anchor leaving the west african leaders to take steps to address one of the worst massacres in mali's recent history. a self described neo nazi sentence for driving into protests as in a racist attack. and in sport find out about the player is fired a warning shot ahead of wimbledon details coming up with far. hell i would commit to july nice attempt as are about the highest possible level that will spark a few showers if you get a water source like the caspian sea it's of a sudden caucasus yes eclipse at this heading towards tashkent maybe

state department is investigating how fighters loyal to the libyan war the lever have got hold of american made weapons and the attack missiles were found after forces allied to the u.s. backed government in tripoli recaptured the city of gary and. a caption of a migrant rescue ship is now under arrest after defying italian government orders she dumped the vessel in lampedusa with refugees or migrants who had been stuck at sea for more than 2 weeks several european countries have agreed to accept them as schapelle now reports. judging by the welcome that she received on the italian island of lampedusa corona rickets 8 was seen as both a hero and a criminal. the captain of the sea watch 3 was arrested after defying the italian government and bringing the german charity rescue ship into harbor she could face up to 10 years in prison for defying military orders. 40 migrants were finally
12:21 am
allowed to disembark 16 days after their rescue off the libyan coast 13 others had earlier been allowed to leave the ship for medical reasons the rest were left marooned in the mediterranean during a fierce heat wave there's a lot of chairs sleeping on the meadow floor and they were going up every morning realizing you are still in the middle of doing. this story italy's far right interior minister condemned the ship's crew as outlaws accusing them of people trying to place the shuttle building for a rest it was the young lady who said i'm white rich and german and i don't know how to spend my time i mean what does she do she tries to sink a patrol boat of the financial police with agents on that night in lampedusa the great thing is they say we save lives and then they risk killing human beings who are doing their job and i want to pretend that evil no one can lie anymore as these a criminal thing. italy's government had told the ship's captain to take the
12:22 am
rescued migrants to mull to tunisia or anywhere else instead the german charity that operates the watch 3 says the captain declared an emergency but was ignored by the italians captain ricketts they said she had no other choice because of the worsening conditions on board i'm sure that the courts well recognize that. it's much more important at the right of the people to safety and that lives. and undisputedly is more important than the right territorial waters. the migrants are expected to leave lampedusa soon other european countries including france germany luxembourg and portugal have agreed to allow them in. the sea watch 3 is the latest symbol of the refugee crisis on europe's southern front here but the challenge is much greater than one ship and its defiant captain hundreds of other migrants landed on italy's coast over the last 2 weeks despite cell beanies
