critical of president donald trump a career diplomat has been the u.k.'s man in washington says 2016 part of his job is to file reports back to london it's been revealed he described the trump white house as uniquely dysfunctional clumsy and inept he described u.s. policy on iran as incoherent chaotic and his summary we don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable i work for the state department for many years and we were always encouraged to be direct and frank with our superiors here in washington about our interactions with host government officials with no doubt so technically he did not do anything wrong but politically it probably would have been wise to be extremely cautious donald trump has said he will no longer deal with the ambassador and in a series of tweets on tuesday said the wacky ambassador that the u.k.
9:11 am
forced it upon the united states is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy i don't know the amber. but have been told he is a pompous fool came down and could have expected to move on from his position in the near future and it's unlikely he's the only foreign diplomat sending back stock assessments of the us administration but if a new u.k. prime minister was to decide he had to go now because of donald trump's anger there's a what that would create a dangerous precedent of foreign leaders being able to veto countries ambassadors there's a lot of history here there's a lot of shared interests and values. there is this is a relationship that can withstand you know an awkward period of time over these cables. just last month donald trump enjoyed a state visit to the u.k. and talked of the historic and deep links between the 2 countries this diplomatic spat has undoubtedly damaged there was links alan fischer washington the un special

told me that because it was an international killing it should be dealt with in an international way and the more pressure should be put on all members of the un to the security council including the saudi kingdom's closest western ally the united states to find out exactly what happened to jamal khashoggi i am alarmed by the fact that the 5 observers on each of the security council countries are avid loud themself to to be silent and therefore in my view what twee our weakness seen here is saudi arabia possibly very as strategy key and very. smartly trying to make the security council complicit in a possible miscarriage of justice will saudi arabia continues to refute the claims
9:14 am
saying that the murder happened as a result of rogue agents who panic during a botched interrogation we know that a number of individuals are on trial behind closed doors in saudi some of them facing the death penalty but i guess kalamata is worried that whatever is happening there for significantly short of international judicial standards she has recommended that the international community puts more pressure. on the saudi leadership she's also suggested that the un creates its own investigation that would lead to individual liability for his killing but that requires momentum the moment she believes is somewhat lacking so dam has begun to restore internet access to mobile phones services with more than $100.00 people were killed by government forces during a peaceful sit in last month disturbing images of the military crackdown and now surfacing on social media. as more. for the 1st
