let's talk about that women's 100 meter final shelley and fraser priced. it's as if she was never gone think of the men's 100 metres final we had a really clear idea that as long as christian coleman got out of the blocks he was going to win gold wasn't quite the case for the women is a really high quality field and as you say with shelley and fraser pryce she took most of 27 c. outs while she had her 1st child no one quite sure how our form was going to be this season she's back for best and that is a 4th world title for her also some great performances down the field day in russia smith taking silver and international record for the united kingdom and america has its hold of a bronze following up from her soviet soon years ago still trying to become the 1st africans who win that 100 meter title maybe that could happen at the olympics next year it's a little bit about christian taylor we spoke earlier in the triple jump we weren't quite sure how did go didn't start very well for him either with those 2 illegal jumps but he recovered beautifully didn't he yeah we just been talking to him

and. head to head on a jersey it out. yemen's hooty rebels released pictures from what they say is a major military assault inside saudi arabia they also claim to have captured thousands of saudi backed soldiers. and this is just their life and also coming up. the white house fight us on this i

have to imagine they're going to fight this tooth and nail impeachment proceedings in the u.s. gathering pace as president trump finds for his political career over his infamous call to ukraine's leader. austria's conservative leader sebastian could simple position to return to power. tens of thousands turned out on the streets of moscow to protest the jailing of opposition activists. yemen's military commanders have released images which they say show the surrender of several brigades of saudi troops they claim the footage shows hundreds of captured fighters inside saudi arabia near the town of not following a major attack near the border between the 2 countries are reports. this is the hoofy defense minister in a command center planning to launch an attack inside saudi arabia and coordinating

with his forces on the ground. according to the hoofy spokesman it happened on august 25th and lasted for 72 hours that. specialized infantry units at the front line cord and a large now. the aggressor is personal and as they managed to set up ambushes as per the planet our forces opened a way to allow the aggressor personnel to step into the ambush who these claim more than $500.00 people were killed and at least 2000 captured some of them were wearing uniforms like this with the saudi national guard logo but many of these prisoners of war are what the who's these are calling yemeni nationals who have been lured and disillusioned by saudi arabia to fight against the who thinks also on display these armored vehicles which the who thinks say belonged to the saudi military. specialized units cut off the resupply line of the enemy from the east and the west after that the cordon was sealed around this personnel from all sides

the infantry units turned the ambush into an all out offensive. there who things have also made several other statements in this video none of which al-jazeera can independently verify meanwhile saudi officials have not responded to this video or the claims made by the who theories but for now this appears to be more evidence that this conflict is likely to pose further challenges for yemen and the region dorsetshire pari al jazeera. saudis crown prince mohammed bin solomon has spoken publicly for the 1st time about the murder of journalist. he told the american network c.b.s. that he bears responsibility for the killing inside istanbul saudi consulate but denies any personal involvement let's go now live to our correspondent who joins us live from washington the crown prince says he takes responsibility for the murder of what's next what action is he likely to take were basically

ne of his reiterated what he told p.b.s. also about a few days ago which is basically that. it bears responsibility as a leader because the bird. took place under his watch the crown prince and the most powerful man in saudi arabia but his didn't send distancing himself from any personal involvement saying that basically the proceeding of the trial will continue or the 11 suspects and then the justice will make its final decision about a few days ago when i was in new york i spoke with the united nations special rapporteur for agnes who launched an investigation into the murder of jamal and she said that this was planned premeditated and exposure dish or she said also that there are strong evidence suggesting links between the conference and between when the murder was a month and asked her about what it meant when the crown prince said that basically

he bears responsibility she said for him to be genuine about moving forward he needs to provide more and says about the circumstances surrounding the murder of . who gave the order and the. the whereabouts of his remains he should talk to his family his should talk to his fiancee had these are. sort of what happened but ultimately he has to give more clarity about what happened but we look at that passage that his answers he was in a way or another he was evasive saying that how do you expect me to know about all the details about i have 3000000 government. personnel in saudi arabia i'm not supposed to be looking into all the details however need when you look at the assessments made by the cia and many international intelligence agencies the logistics involved in the operation in the. absolutely no way you carried out

with that people in the highest echelons of the saudi authorities not aware about what happened. as well as of course the killing of recent attacks on saudis all facilities have also ramped up tensions in the middle east as well do we get the sense that saudi arabia is bracing for a war with iran given that iran is repeatedly being accused of being directly responsible for this attack on the saudis or fields. well of this the crown prince is of the view that this is. a serious escalation he is of the view. that this is really a serious development but then at the end of his interview he says a basically he's looking forward to see a political way out of this crisis doesn't it doesn't want to see a military confrontation because of the volatile situation in the region he's pretty much concerned that in a military confrontation with would would

a full blown minister confrontation with the iranians could just further destabilize. the entire region but what we've seen over the last few days from basically the saudi officials idlers where the minister of state for foreign affairs when he was in new york about a few days ago they were basically saying that it's about time for the international committee for the about akin's to take action now to stop the iranians from further launching any attacks in the future warning that this could just create a massive disruption to the flow of oil into global markets. around washington d.c. thank you very much. hundreds in saudi arabia have gathered for the funeral of king solomon's bodyguard in mecca major general abdul aziz al fagen was reportedly killed in jeddah by a friend over what's been described as a personal dispute on saturday night the gunman was also shot and killed in

a standoff with police offer refusing to surrender. u.s. president donald trump says he deserves to meet his accuser as the push for impeachment proceedings against him gathers pace leading us democrats say congress is also determined to get access to donald trump's phone calls with the russian president and other world leaders this comes as house speaker nancy pelosi says public support is growing for an impeachment inquiry into the president it's over a call in which trump pass ukraine's leader to investigate his political rival joe biden and they got a house more from washington d.c. . it was an announcement that changed the political landscape in washington the trail of his oath of office because of a national security house speaker nancy pelosi wants reluctant to start impeachment proceedings changed her mind after a transcript of a call between president donald trump and president volodymyr as alecky of ukraine was released president trump now stands accused of abusing his power undermining

national security and inviting a foreign power to interfere in u.s. elections senior democrats on the intelligence committee say the trumpet ministration won't be doing itself any favors if it doesn't cooperate with the white house fight us on this i have to imagine they're going to fight this tooth and nail and yet even as they do with the more that they fight to try to prevent an obstruct the lawful functions of congress the more they're going to make a case for impeachment on obstruction of justice of congress republicans and now rallying behind their embattled president saying donald trump was duty bound to press the ukrainians to look into allegations about joe biden's son hunter and his dealings with a ukrainian energy company trump personal lawyer rudy giuliani himself an important player in the scandal is likely to be called before house democrats if he decides that he wants me to testify of course not testify even though i think adam schiff is an illegitimate chairman this year it's already prejudged the case if you want

fairness here we've got to put somebody in charge of that. committee who has an open mind impeachment proceedings are now moving at a pace that neither the republican party nor president trump can control at the heart of all this is a report from a so-called whistleblower deemed credible by the acting director of national intelligence it's thought he or she may appear behind closed doors soon going to ask you one day for both parties the stakes couldn't be higher republican senator lindsey graham one of the president's closest allies says the accusations a 2nd hand lawyer says it's all hearsay you can't get a parking ticket conviction based on hearsay blower didn't hear the phone call right who told which a lot more about the phone call and everything else he says done all right doesn't get every american deserves to confront their accuser so this is a sham what's going on now is the single greatest scam president trump is now in the fight of his political career and says the proceedings are

a hoax democrats say trump's own words from his phone call with the ukrainian leader in which he says do me a favor though or a clear violation of the law and gallacher al-jazeera washington well let's go straight to particle haney's live for us in washington d.c. patty it appears support for impeachment is growing rapidly. it is and this is just over the last week i mean think about it it's just literally been a couple of days since the democrats announced they were going to follow this impeachment inquiry and we've seen support in different polls jump by about 67 percent the latest poll coming from c.b.s. saying that 55 percent of americans who were asked say they approve of the impeachment proceeding going forward and it was mostly split along partisan lines but an interesting number jumped out at me because republicans again that is the president's core base that is what keeps all of the many republican members of the house and the senate in line with the president because they still back him but at

this poll 23 percent of republicans favor looking into this issue so that could spell trouble for the president in the long run to the president's also tweeted about deserving to meet his accuser firstly design even possible and secondly what more do we know about him that donald trump and his recent tweets. ok for let's back up a little bit lindsey graham saying that you know the you didn't it was a blower didn't hear the conversation he admits that in his in his complaint he said but he's heard it from you know several white house officials the president's going on saying you know basically this whistleblower represented the conversation and totally inaccurate and fraudulent way it's just to be clear the whistle blower read out a conversation and the day before that this was released made public the white house released a basically a memo describing the call it was exactly like it's described in this complaint the other thing the president is saying that he as you mentioned deserves to meet his

accuser you've heard that from republicans that's not how this works the president is not like any american this isn't a criminal proceeding this is an impeachment inquiry there are whistleblower protections now it's washington and this this citizen this government worker likely in the intelligence community we believe he is arranging with his lawyers to speak in private with committee members behind closed doors now if the u.s. congress his identity is going to leak out and they're injured some are going to say it shouldn't because that could damage other whistleblowers and keep them from coming forward but it's highly likely that this name is going to leak out as far as the president deserving to meet his accuser no that's doesn't work this way the other thing is he said that. i'm sorry that he said that you know basically he wants to know what adam he wants to represent him at a ship.
