crisis in yemen is the worst in the world. first if iran stops its support of the who thing militias and the political solution will be much easier today we open all initiatives for a political solution in yemen we hope this happens today rather than tomorrow. but fighting has spared. dashing hopes for a peaceful way out the crown prince in his interview with c.b.s. didn't mention the g.c.c. crisis at all the blockade imposed by saudi arabia and its allies on has led to deeper divisions and raised concerns of further instability in a volatile middle east saudi authorities have recently announced easing visa restrictions and dropping strict dress codes for foreign women to attract tourists and diversify an economy addicted to oil money those say these steps are the talent by a week to rebuild the image of the crown prince his reputation has been damaged by

the murder of the mother and the war in yemen. or washington d.c. . turkey's president has risen article for the washington post saying his country will continue to investigate question of g.'s murder or chip type areas around calls the killing not only a tragedy but also a blatant abuse of diplomatic immunity noting the murderers traveled on diplomatic passports and turned it diplomatic building into a crime scene and were assisted in the attempted cover up by saudi arabia's top diplomat in istanbul which sets a very dangerous precedent he writes it is in our best interest and of humanity to ensure that such a crime is not committed anywhere again seen in cosi or who has more from istanbul . turkey is present taper down stays in his opinion piece that no event since in the event since $911.00 has caused threat to international public order

then jamal for ship his murder because in his piece he has written that this is a blatant abuse of diplomatic immunity as those 15 people who came to istanbul to kill damascus ship were members of the state the saudi state and they were called actually as diplomats that's why he believes that this caused a big chaos and controversy for the international order but prior to compared to his previous statements prisons add on's rhetorical as seem to be soft and with regard to saudi arabia underlines that this is not a bilateral issue between turkey and saudi arabia but an international issue in terms of justice and diplomacy and he underlines that king solomon and sell nuns loyal subjects are different than those people who are murdered jamal khashoggi and prisons are dong calls them as thugs in his opinion piece another thing he underlined is that the transparency because he believes the court proceedings in

saudi arabia is not transparent and there is not public access to the trials and that's why he insists the trials the trials are fair in saudi arabia and the perpetrators are subject to the necessary punishment. here's freezing agency fitch has downgraded saudi arabia's credit rating from a plus g 8 the agency says it's in response to the rise in political and military tension in the gulf region and age of tyria ration of the kingdom's fiscal position the kingdom is planning to launch an initial public offering of shares in saudi aramco one of the world's largest oil and gas companies well for more on this we're joined by bill lawry middle east analyst and he's speaking to us know by skype from london thanks very much for joining us and i'll just sirrah 1st of all what do you think this announcement by fitch means for saudi arabia. well i look at sun and it's yet another piece of news really and you know we could be pretty difficult

news for the saudis in terms of what it means i don't think it's going to have a huge impact the fact of the matter is that people are looking at and thinking about saudi aramco i have been noting for some time the bonbons all month radical transformation of the saudi you want to be mission 2030 is staggering a bit and therefore 'd it is already in some difficulty the saudis need $85.00 a barrel to break even to make their books balance it's sitting at $60.00 now they have failed to have create jobs in the private sector they need something like 1200000 jobs died goal is a long way off that was forced out by 2028 year so i think when people look at the decision they say well yeah i'm kind of surprised took so long to come around to see that clearly just responded to the attack on on the iran protocell unease but

they're also looking as other people at the school situation which in the short term is ok they've got to still a lot of money in the bank they can ride this out it's in the longer term when they're trying to balance the books when they have failed to create enough private sector jobs and their have to continue to hire people into the public sector which are in many instances not productive jobs that the vision 2030 really starts to falter. live with just had that saudi arabia has asked to reconsider if sense that this is something that saudi arabia can write in the show and then why would they be doing this does this not signal some kind of deeper arnie's with this decision. well that's in itself i think rather extraordinary that they're turning around and saying reconsider you know gulf states. suffer or wind from

these ratings. and they have to take it and really ride with it the fact the saudis are asking him to reconsider is i find it a bit surprising and i'd be very surprised if it said ok we'll look we'll come back up day plus i don't think that's the way forward for the saudis they need to really take a long hard look at how they are going to implement the basic tenets of vision 2030 and of course aside at the ram go i.p.o. is a key part of that process naaman's all monitors valued at 2 trillion now must say this is way above what it's worth the figure that that i'm i'm being told is one trillion perhaps as high as 1.5 trillion nowhere near what it's all not keeps insisting it's worth so i think there's a gap between his vision and the way he's handling it and the reality on the ground ok bill law admittedly sonorous joining us from london thanks very much indeed for your analysis there thank you. there's lots more still to come on the new siren

creating more trouble for the u.k. prime minister boris johnson he's facing allegations of paris and on the contacts as the bracks deadline looms. and after a corruption scandal forces government from power a former austrian chancellor looks likely to return. and a double record breaking night for the usa on the track of the very latest from the world athletics championships coming up for you in sports. fighters have carried out 2 attacks against foreign forces in somalia storms a military base operated by u.s. forces in the lower shah bel region itzhak was quickly thought it by u.s. and somali troops stationed there in the 2nd attack they attempted to target italian forces in the capital mogadishu and no casualties or injuries have been

reported so far but for more on this let's cross to mark and y.p. joins us from a carriage chani in kenya malcolm what morkie tell us what's the latest. the 1st attack was the u.s. military base an airfield. which is just over 100 kilometers from addiction mogadishu in the lower shabelle region people living nearby said it began with a large explosion they believe that it was a vehicle loaded with explosives driven into the compound and they say that was followed by gunfire that lasted a short while put out a statement saying that fighters that penetrated the base and for with american soldiers. the u.s. that it's a somali just a short while ago put out a statement saying that the attackers were actually repelled at the perimeter by soldiers from the law somali national armed forces who were living in that base with the americans and who the americans trained is

a. an attack was in mogadishu the target was a tunnel italian military convoy we gather it was launched with the suicide bomber but it was missed local media are reporting that one civilians done by bystander was killed and some civilian bystanders were injured as well we'll bring you more as we have it ok malcolm i live in kenya thank you afghanistan president a shotgun his main rival abdullah abdullah has claimed victory in saturday's election and official results is yet to be released and counting is still taking place the election commission says it's too early to call the winner preliminary results are not expected for at least another 2 weeks candidates the moon 50 percent of the vote to be declared and i write when or where the top 3 will head for a 2nd brains in november well tony berkeley joins us now for more on this from kabul

. been caring to get a deal a deal or seems to think is the winner. well he said he's got the most votes we don't know what that's based on but it doesn't mean he's going to be president the president will be elected if he gets 51 percent of the vote so far 3736 of the polling stations of sent in their votes still or another 750 s. or so that have to send theirs in and so far they say 2100000 votes have been sent in and there's another 500-0028 1000000 expected to come in in the next few days so it's different to know where he gets his from because there are no exit polls that elections in afghanistan it's guesswork it could be posturing by mr abdullah or it could be that he's playing to his own supporters and saying that he's in a very strong position you may remember 5 years ago there was a different situation there was a standoff the election went to a 2nd round there's a lot over and typically between both mr mr abdullah and the president danny at

that time it was only the intervention of john kerry the u.s. secretary of state that managed to get a power sharing agreement now that time was a little bit more tense because you had various warlords who were sizing up and there was a fear at that time there would be some kind of outbreak of fighting that didn't happen and it's not going to happen this time it's a different situation but we have to wait now until the interim results are going to be released on october 19th and the final results will be announced on november the 7th and if somebody wins 51 percent become president if not it goes to a 2nd round probably later in the month ok well and as you mentioned they're very mood terrenate on this election how is this so how is this being perceived in afghanistan harry does this parody taking to this announcement. well for most people it's just more of the same it's a rerun of what happened in 2014 they know the history between president garny and

mr abdullah they don't get on there's no love lost there at all both men want to be president and carry afghanistan into the future it's a very important role and they have had difficulties working with each other it's only outside sources as the americans provided that would enable them to work together so there's a lot of you know rumors and conspiracy theories that ballots are being rigged again this time there has been biometric technology and voter verification measures which are going to make it harder to cheat but not impossible and especially in the outlying areas so we have to wait now till the rest of the votes come in the the the so the important date will be october the 19th when you get the interim results and then november the 7th when the final results come out so anywhere in their life as a couple thanks very much indeed. here is president stumbled trampas once again waded into the impeachment inquiry to meet him on monday the fake whistleblower complaint is not holding up it's mostly about the call to the ukrainian president

which in the name of transparency i immediately release to congress and the public goes on to say the whistleblower knew almost nothing he says 2nd hand information and fraudulence in a 2nd tweet she says spy chief and in shift if legally made up a fake terrible statement and pretended it was trump's he said schiff statement read to congress bore no relationship to what trump said on the call to the ukrainian president and he finishes the tweets with arrest for treason for more on this let's cross to our white house correspondent kimberly kimberly won't be make of these tweets from president donald trump but see hoping to achieve this. yeah i think we can read from them and the president has been tweeting all morning much like we saw during the russian vest a geisha and whether or not there was collusion between the campaign in the 26000 u.s.

election in russia is that the trumpet administration and his supporters in terms of those inside the white house of decided the president is his best spokes person so as they ready their war room with this ongoing impeachment inquiry it is the president who will be introducing to the public realm various aspects of their argument so not only do you see the president in his tweets trying to undermine the house intelligence chair adam schiff in that tweet you just read out but the president also pointing out what he sees as a weakness with the case against him namely when he says the fake whistleblower complaint is not holding up he's pointing out the fact that the whistleblower did not in fact hear the content of that telephone call back in july with the ukrainian president now under the microscope by the democratic controlled house of representatives so this is sort of what we've seen is classic trump we're seeing a lot of the same language that we saw with the russian vest a geisha in the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country was very clear is

that the president is trying to get out into the public realm these various ideas but some of those ideas are raising eyebrows particularly in the last 24 hours the content of one particular tweet where the president was quoting a pastor out of dallas texas that had campaigned for him in the past saying that this. inquiry could in fact lead to a civil war like fracture that in and of itself is getting some pushback from republicans within the president's party saying this is a very dangerous suggestion on the part of the president and for anyone who has experience or visited countries where there is actual civil war that's certainly not something that you would want to liken this inquiry to in fact one republican calling the. sort of characterization of civil war as repugnant can be he's also been turning the tables on some shift saying it shouldn't be being done for. pietschmann it should be some shift. for the american public make of this is this

helping his case in any way it's all. it's helping among his supporters this is become a rallying cry for republicans that feel that this is just another example of the democrats not accepting the results of a democratic 2016 u.s. election many even some democrats would argue with a us election that just a little more than a year away this is going to embroil the country and more controversy and division but democrats have calculated that perhaps this would be a very helpful tool in trying to win the reelection or rather stop the reelection of donald trump and win in the eyes of their party and have a democratic president so you do have to use that lens i think in the midst of all of this we have to focus on the facts in the news and there is one piece of information that's coming out of ukraine that is vitally important and that is from the ukrainian president he has been speaking out of kiev saying in fact that he's

pointing out that ukraine is an independent country they will not be investigating as the president has pushed for getting him into so much trouble in that july 25th call but also leaving the possibility open to investigate if there were any laws broken and also revealing this bit of information that is that there may have been 2 telephone calls with trump not just one as this inquiry so far is focusing the whole could keep on so full of what you get back to the facts very much indeed for bringing as of speed. no jamaican sprinter has taken motherhood in harsh strides by showing she's the 1st woman on the planets with more on showing on freeze a price at the world's 1st 6 championships in qatar jonica is in our sports studio that's how the for international stadium. yes it was the 32 year old's night here in doha and have more on her incredible achievements in our bulletin coming up at

to all traffic except government and military vehicles the trade it has been seized and controlled by various groups over the past 7 years including syrian rebels and eisel iran can has more from. that's right the border crossing is now open is called on the syrian side we have the syrian ambassador and the interior minister walk through the area and meet with dignitaries they met with the representative of the rocky prime minister now what the syrians said that this was a very big success it showed that both countries had defeated eisel fighters and that the iraqis what they said is that this is going to be the 1st of 3 border crossings are going to open in the next few weeks with syria so both sides say it's a tremendous success down 2014 fighters were able to take over this border crossing and they use this entire area as a staging ground to manage and to mount their assault on amber province including taking over 2 of its major cities in 2017 the iraqis were able to take back the

border crossing on this side with help from the syrians on the other side but even just a year ago it would have been impossible for someone like me to be broadcasting from here because there are still pockets of i still fighters now the iraqis are saying that there are no pockets of isis fighters i'm ball is now open for business now this is significant not just for the iraqis who say this is a success but it's also very important for the syrians who are looking to reestablish international diplomatic relations and things like this border crossing opening are key to that now the iraqis and the syrians have had very good diplomatic relations in the past but clearly syria is encouraging other arab countries to open embassies in damascus it's also looking to be readmitted into the arab league whether that happens or not remains to be seen but things like this are a step forward the syrians in reestablishing diplomatic relations with not just the arab world but with the wider world generally. national talks designs and cameron's

a lot of distrust among the people underlining a growing divide between the english and french speaking peoples of cameroon a country considered more stable the neighboring states only 8 years ago since then more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced by the separatist violence another 425-0000 have crossed the border into nigeria as refugees. attacks in the north and the fallout from the last national elections have added to a long list of problems. this part deep divisions religion is a common thread binding cameroonians of different fates. and that's just not lost on the government its officials attending this interfaith service to drum up support for the national dialogue. is what understanding. is all people what is more functioning of the state and if you absent from the died of you don't want to bet just to get nation building pledge important you should come

but like we said the rebels are not here the session is on because they consider this. organization or forum as a sham they feel that they are not secure to come here to talk well when the prime minister was opening the the conference some through hours ago he made mention of the fact that these were specifically for the unity of this country those who are not don't have the interests of the country out however there are several parameters set by this by the organizers of this forum and one of those things is that the question of suppression is off the table and there was also no independent media it is for the various peoples of various sites who are meeting to dialogue about the future of kabul and however observers believe that getting the talks underway is a pasta it's in fact a good step because it's

a knowledge of the government here i can only use the fact that baby's a problem income rule despite the despite deny this over the past decades. ok advantages thanks very much for bringing us up to date apologies for the technical difficulties the stunts. well she has conservative leaders sébastien court so it's likely to return suppose exit polls for the stuff elections or has people's party in the leads with more than 37 percent of the foods but she's looking for new partners soft of a corruption scandal undermined his alleged ally the far right freedom party some of the king has more from vienna. reaction to sunday's election result here in austria has been swift and pretty clear most people agreeing it was a resigning success for the people's party under sebastien courts a man who'd been voted out of office by the parliament behind me back in the spring now seemingly propelled back towards power in september by taking the number of

votes that he did the number of seats that he did people say he now has the choice of which party he might govern it appears pretty clear that that won't be with his previous partners the far right freedom party who saw their vote really crumble under the weight of the scandal that its former leadership plunged that party into a question for mr courses with whom could he govern and might be with the green party another of the parties that really succeeded in sunday's election the thing to be clear about from a more european scale is that with the far right now seemingly far away from power here in australia there are very few if any really strong far right movements in parliaments or governments across this cross western europe right now. he prime minister bars johnson is coming under increasing pressure over allegations of
