the world wide last wednesday goes on. let's turn to other news now the u.k. prime minister boris johnson says he will send a final breck's that offer to brussels later awareness day speaking at the conservative party conference in manchester johnson said the proposal would require compromise on both sides he said it did not sink when plans for a customs infrastructure at the border between northern ireland and the irish republic a key sticking point here to the e.u. to accept new technology to solve the issue of preventing a hard border. today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out. well mr johnson will hold a form call with the european commission president in the coming hours natasha
10:01 pm
butler is standing by for us in paris with more on that but 1st let's cross it see rory chalons is live in manchester at the conservative party conference. boris johnson has a break proposal for the e.u. after his conference speech are we any the wiser as to what it is. well this is boris johnson having fun once again after a pretty chaotic 2 months or so prime minister he's lost we receive votes in parliament cities had the supreme court ruled that he acted unlawfully but here he was in front of an enthusiastic crowd of conservatives he was making a very boris johnson joke referring to things like a spinning pizza wheel of death even a kangaroo's private parts but in terms of. bailing out the detail of what this deal is that he is proposing to the european union there wasn't all that much substance in this speech we just heard from him
10:02 pm
a little bit there saying that there would be no checks at or near the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but details that have leaked to the british newspaper the daily telegraph basically spell out what we believe boris johnson's plan to be for 4 nor the nodded and that is to basically carve off northern ireland as a kind of special zone to have to borders one border between the republican northern ireland and another border of sorts between the northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom mainland united kingdom now that is definitely taking things a much further step and they have gone before the difficulty is although he is presenting this with positivity and according to the people that i've heard speak here leadership that they were requiring from him that's not enough to convince the
10:03 pm
european union that this is a big idea the good idea i mean he said that. they want a deal that they are ready to leave with no deal if that's the case and as it stands at the moment violet more likely ok rich islands in manchester thank you very much let's cross our to tasha butler she is live for us in paris natasha just how is the e.u. likely to react to johnson's proposals well what e.u. leaders will be doing is looking at exactly what boris johnson is proposing we know that u.k. officials are presenting e.u. leaders with his plans with his proposals and that sean called younker the european commission chief will be speaking to boris johnson on the telephone what will be asking the british prime minister is for more clarity for more details you heard rory mentioned that there what exactly are these plans what are the details of it
10:04 pm
how would they work and why would they be good enough that the european union would agree to reopen the withdrawal agreement something that all along they have said that they would not do will be particularly interested to know what boris johnson is proposing as an alternative for the irish backstop because the irish backstop is something that the european union has always maintained must remain in the with all agreement it's something the boris johnson wants to scrap so really the e.u. will be looking for these plans for these proposals for these details they want to understand what johnson is going to give to them but we've heard from the french presidential spokesperson here in paris and what she said is as far as france is concerned britain would really have to come up with something very substantial indeed some substantial modifications for france to even consider reopening the withdrawal agreement and the taschen let's say they do manage to come up with something substantial and they do manage to soften there in the u.k.
10:05 pm
position could we expect the e.u.'s position to change. well i mean it would be difficult to see what britain could offer that would change the e.u.'s position as i said it would have to be something very big and you know we heard also reacting to boris johnson speech from a german government spokesperson who said that you know we are we are we're looking for a deal but we are prepared for everything and i think that really sums up the e.u. position the e.u. all along has said that they want to have a deal with the u.k. that and nobody else really is in no one's interest is going to be extremely costly and disruptive and that is why they say that they remain and continue to remain open to listening to what the u.k. has to offer open to listening to boris johnson but at this stage they are preparing for because many e.u. leaders believe that that is the way things are going we have october 31st the
10:06 pm
brakes a deadline looming that's less than a month away and what you leaders do not want is to be left in a position where they're not ready and that's why they're saying look if there isn't a deal on the table we'll be ready anyway because as far as they are concerned they have reached a withdrawal agreement with the u.k. was done with boris johnson's predecessor to reason may they are ready they have put everything that they need to put in place they see the responsibility for happens next is really being with the u.k. parliament ok natasha there live in paris thank you. there's also more still to come on the news are including another twice in peru's political drama as the vice president to be nominated as interim president by the opposition resigns morency government protests in baghdad as frustration boils over process in sports the all blacks run riots against canada the world cup. has all the rugby action for you.

heard and protected heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington bureau america's top diplomats is currently in spring prepare was asked fine journalists if he was in on the cold with trump and. i was on the phone call the phone call was in the context of now i guess i've been the secretary of state for coming on a year and a half i know precisely what the american policy is with respect to ukraine. it's been remarkably consistent and we will continue to try to drive those a set of outcomes that's what our team including hooting about sort of folk are more focused on taking down. the threat that russia poses there in ukraine it was about helping the ukrainians to get graft out corruption outside of their government and to help now this new government in the ukraine build
10:11 pm
a successful throve economy it's what the state department officials that i had the privilege to lead have been engaged in this what we will continue to do even one of us noises going on well mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. at mike just how significant is it that might compare was on that particular call well it had been widely reported that he was but confirmation by the secretary of state makes one thing very certain and that is that the congressional committees investigating impeachment are going to argue very strongly that the secretary of state has got to recuse himself from engaging in the process otherwise there is a conflict of interest the congressional committees will be very strongly that the secretary of state himself is a subject of investigation and as such has got to hand over control of state department with regard to the ongoing investigation to his deputy because of this conflict pay are making very clear that this is unlikely to be the case throwing
10:12 pm
a blanket a restraint on members the state department to go before those congressional committees at this particular point the problem here of course is that the constitution doesn't make much provision for oversight by congress should the executive refused to comply so this is going to build up into a massive constitutional fight between branches of government certainly well meanwhile microcode quite a busy day ahead on the hill of the not. indeed the house speaker nancy pelosi will be holding her weekly news conference discussing the way forward on the impeachment process she'll be joined by the head of the congress intelligence committee the house intelligence committee at him shift has become very much the face of the impeachment process they'll be discussing basically what happens next but there's an even more significant figure who's going to be speaking on the hill today that is the inspector general of the state department to in
10:13 pm
a highly unusual move has sent a letter to 3 of congress' committees asking for permission to come and brief them privately on matters pertaining to this whole controversy around the ukraine now this is very very unusual they are private meetings but the fact that the inspector general of the state department it goes around behind essentially the back of his bus the secretary of state is very significant indeed at this particular point ok mike hanna thanks very much indeed. people in hong kong are denouncing the shooting of a teenage protester by police during violent demonstrations on cheese day this was the scene at a playground in sun one a short while ago thousands of people have rallied in multiple locations throughout the day where the 18 year olds are said to be in a stable condition in hospital after being hit in the chest at close range and they
10:14 pm
say it was an act of self defense but as a jim brown reports the increase in violence has divided opinion in the semi atomicity. the violence was intense and lasted until early wednesday morning affecting areas across hong kong leaving some neighborhoods eerily quiet but few cities in the world clean up quickly as hong kong in the street would have been a battleground until just a few hours earlier they were wiping away graffiti before getting back to work. food vendor supports the protest movement but worries about the escalating violence buying and he said may i blame not only the protesters but also the police for affecting our livelihoods others like this rubbish collector say the protesters are pushing hong kong to the brink. the ordinary people are being victimized the most we will end up losing our jobs the young protesters are having fun that we are

10:16 pm
legal system almost 100 appeared in court on wednesday the head of hong kong police said the choose date was the most chaotic and violent day in recent hong kong history his words raise a serious question mark as to whether local elections due to be held in just a few weeks time will in fact go ahead after all mainland visitors are still coming here mused by the posters insulting their leaders and political system impressions they'll take home with them adrian. there's been a u.s. gold rush the world's 1st 6 championships with more of us. in our sports studio for international stadium. that's right how i know our loyals may have died his hair silver but he clinched one of 3 gold medals for the usa on tuesday coming up at 1345 g.m.t.

10:18 pm
was that doesn't mean it's not a nasty piece it is carrying waves of that sort of portions that come in to hit the coast of south korea current stats then it's winds don't look too frightening $85.00 gusting 100 kilometers per hour but you've seen the winds 7 meters and the storm surges that it's a higher forecast than that of yesterday's 2.6 meters that's the amount of water above high tide it's like come in land anywhere where it possibly can now the coast the forecast calls hasn't changed a lot since yesterday across the south and south korea across the sea of japan through northern honshu and out into the colder waters by which time it will no longer be a tropical cyclone but in the next 12 to 18 hours it's got that passage to make almost of the shore all south korea probably in a place near mokpo which is where they are i guess it would be the strongest winds but the rain i suspect will do the most damage and cause the most floods well there

impeachment inquiry. thousands of people in home call murder. announcing the she sing of a teenage protester by police during violent demonstrations on choosing they see year old boy is said to be in a stable condition and hospital police say it was an act of self-defense. and a moment of silence has been held in istanbul on the 1st anniversary of the murder of saudi arabian journalist to market shoji family friends and members of the united nations investigation team who are at the ceremony in turkey saudi crown prince denies any link to the murder office critic in the kingdom's consulates. well stephanie decker looks back on her it global i cry for justice for jamal khashoggi has gone unanswered. i am concerned about i don't like hearing about it the u.s. president reacts to the news a prominent saudi journalist jamal khashoggi has been killed and dismembered inside
10:22 pm
the saudi consulate in istanbul other countries to condemn the allegations some summoning their saudi ambassadors to demand on cers but what was going to be the political fallout i wager that month tens of top executives and media pulled out of a prominent investment summit in riyadh but reportedly still center lower level representation saudi arabia has billions of dollars of investment in military deals with other countries especially the united states 3000000000 dollars 533000000 dollars 525000000 dollars that's peanuts for you if you're interested this is a meeting between the 2 men at the white house earlier in the year saudi arabia and the u.s. have been close allies for decades and donald trump made it clear soon after the killing that the $1000000000.00 deals would not be affected in terms of the order of $110000000000.00 think of that $110000000000.00 all they're going to do is give
10:23 pm
it to other countries and i think that would be very foolish for our country but there are other things we can do that will be for. very severe. initially the crown prince mohammed bin sandman got a bit of the cold shoulder at the g. 20 standing here on the far right during the traditional family photo. an awkward moment captured turkey's president. on policy in the crown prince without as much as a glance but over time despite the international condemnations there were no cotton diplomatic ties no major sanctions calling it the only independent investigation carried out by the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial summary an arbitrary executions and. we met her outside the consulate during her visit are you related to the saudis and are you when you have made a request to the saudi government for access to the consulate as well as meeting with saudis authorities here and in saudi arabia we are waiting for their response
10:24 pm
but she was never given access and in june of this year a damning conclusion 15 saudi stated gent acting under cover of their official status used state means to exit cute mr cash it was overseen planned and endorsed by oliver a few shorts and it was premeditated. calomiris called for an international investigation and criticize the u.n. security council for not doing enough to act but at this year's g 20 the family photo telling perhaps the crown prince center stage next to the u.s. president and the host prime minister shinzo abby a noticeable difference from the one taken a month after her shoji was killed and dismembered inside the saudi diplomatic mission a year on the journalists body has never been found but it seems that the world's leaders have moved on and it's business as usual stephanie decker of jazeera.
10:25 pm
well let's get more on this from jonathan rugman he's the foreign affairs correspondent for channel 4 news in the u.k. and the author of the killing in the consulates johnson joins us now from london give been investigating this for your book for over a year now here do you think killed. i think it's very clear killed him the saudi state has admitted who killed him it is the 15 man hit squad that was sent to mr ball last october some of them were deployed to the consulate itself some of them were deployed to the residence down the road and the big question of course is who ordered them to go there and given that saudi arabia is a state with absolute rule the crown prince is essentially the absolute ruler because his father is too ill then i think it's pretty clear that if the state is the crown prince of the crown prince is the state then there is a level of culpability there which extends to the fact that the 2 planes that flew
10:26 pm
to istanbul all had diplomatic clearance 2 of the 15 men on board had diplomatic passports. and so i think it is is pretty obvious not least because many members of the scored served in the royal guard and indeed had been photographed standing alongside the crown prince in the u.k. and in the u.s. earlier in 2080 a get there has been no quarter from the family we've been hearing from our correspondents about this paralysis of of justice that continue to see this stage you think given the current geopolitical situation the family are ever likely to get any closure on this. i think it's very unlikely i think the saudis will never hand over suspects to the turks there will be questions about whether there could be a fair trial in turkey itself there is also the issue that agnes calabar the un rapporteur
10:27 pm
you saw in that report is quite an isolated figure she doesn't have the backing of our own boss the u.n. secretary general for an international inquiry and her report was a preliminary report without an international inquiry the case cannot go another stage in that and there is no well in the international community arguably including turkey for that kind of international trial to take place you have to remember that turkey also wishes to maintain relations with saudi arabia thousands of its citizens travel to the harsh each year in fact turkey sells arms to saudi arabia nothing like as much as the united states and the u.k. and others do but clearly there are commercial relationships all around the world added to that the fact that the president trump has looked at potential
10:28 pm
alternatives to the crown prince and he hasn't found any that he thinks would be capable of taking over not least because some of them are under house arrest ok jonathan rugman afraid you will have to leave it there but thanks very much indeed for joining us on al-jazeera. let's bring you some breaking news now at least one protester has been killed in iraq during another round of nationwide protests on weapons day police in baghdad used my brains to disperse protesters leaving one dead and 6 wins it we're bringing you live pictures now from baghdad of the situation there on choose iraq's prime minister had promised an inquiry following clashes at mass rallies that left 3 dead and 200 injured those protests continuing today as you can see they were against unemployment and basic services and it seems they have deteriorated once again let's speak nicer correspondent
10:29 pm
imran khan who's live in baghdad receiving quite dramatic pictures coming out of baghdad just remind us of the context of this why are these people in the streets and why is it deteriorating so badly. well the people in the room are in the streets for one very simple reason they're protesting in fact that they don't have jobs they don't have opportunities particularly in the poorer parts of society and that's why they're out on the streets also saying that the infrastructure is terrible there's no opportunities there also protesting against corruption which they say they say has led to a lack of development what has really shocked the government is the size of these protesters let me just give you some geography right now these live pictures that you're watching are actually taking place just road you probably can't see it but there's a black cloud of smoke just about half a kilometer away there are 2 bridges that lead into attack or
10:30 pm
a square on tuesday tucker a square was the focal point for the protesters in the middle of central baghdad and that's where they gathered and that's where all those clashes took place the clashes that you're seeing now are taking place on the bridges on the roads leading into tucker a square because the army and police forces have sealed off to a square now the protesters say they won't need to buy this and they are going to try and push into the square the harder they push the harder the security services fight back they are using live rounds they are using water cannon tankers and they are using at a gas to push these people back it's all on going on tuesday at last for about 6 or 7 hours we're expecting more and more people to try and come into the square from the surrounding neighborhoods however on tuesday we saw the protests take place in niger and we're not hearing of the protests are taking place in those areas of yet it seems to be confined to baghdad and it's a it seems to be rather spend taney is this said because as broken down so quickly
10:31 pm
and got so violent you talk there about why you've ammunition being used to control the protesters that that's going to flame the situation surely. it will inflame the situation but you ask a very good question that these protests seemingly came out of nowhere a lot of iraqis themselves are saying who are the leaders of these protest movement who all the people that are backing it is it a religious party is it a political party or is it simply angry young men who just got to the point where they want to go out in the streets social media is a big part of this it's really been driving that whole thing we're hearing now from all my iraqi friends in fact my own experience the internet as the internet story has been severely restricted that's likely to be coming from the government although they haven't confirmed it try and stop the message getting out but you know you can see by the pictures i can hear the noise just behind me that people
10:32 pm
are still out on the streets so yes it will escalate the situation the more people die the more mothers mourn over their deaths the more anger they'll be and it's the more likely that that will actually feel this protest movement ok well in iran we'll let you get back to covering that but for now thanks very much indeed imran khan joining us there live from baghdad. peru's vice president has resigns just 24 hours after congress nominated maurice bursts it is our rose arce interim president her decision is the latest twist in the deepening political scrapes after president martin this current dissolved congress on monday was mariana sanchez reports from the capital lima the right wing opposition accuse him of being a dictator. outside bellew's congress hundreds of police continue to reinforce security around the building only allowing members of congress is permanent commission to enter the premises that looks to be
