1:05 pm
least shed light on where his body is chance transferred al-jazeera. so let's start with correspondent who is outside the court in istanbul what is actually going on today saddam i mean not just along the way to trial but a trial in the time of covert 19 as well. exactly that's why. they didn't allow all press members to get inside the courtroom but the 1st members agreed among each other so the people are shifting inside and we are getting information from our colleagues inside. the jenga spoke as a witness also dr riyadh's the knocked out former advisor to turkish president our daughter who is a very close friend of jamal jan who was the person we informed the police and intelligence about jamal khashoggi being last gave a testimony right now with the prosecutor and judge is the hearing they are hearing
1:06 pm
the consulate employees who are the drivers and other people there are 3 if there are at these 50 witnesses in this case along with the 20 suspects came also probably it is a it may finish today hearing all of the witnesses may finish today it's may even take a longer time but in the 1st day of to try oh always the 1st hearing is a procedural way and it can take this trial actually can take months even years because it was a crime case but depending on the perpetrators who who were involved in the crime with their connections close to the top saudi office shows the crime has become a political case given given the current state is still everybody's curious about what's going to happen yes the suspects are not physically present in turkey
1:07 pm
yes they are not going to be physically arrested in turkey but many believe that at least an international pressure could be imposed through them. bulletins and those suspects will not be able to get out of saudi arabia which is huge and have a rest sort that we are waiting for how to judge angus and agnes call them are to get out of the courtroom after the hearings are finished and they are going to going to be giving get a press briefing and we will be hearing some new information from want to call them are as well come on. what sort of attention does this still attract in turkey cinema as i said it's 21 months since it was killed but it has been such an important matter for turkey a murder happening. exactly kemo still there is a very very high attention to the case all press is here turkish media
1:08 pm
international media and local and international news agencies they're all here yes not many people are allowed to get inside the courtroom but there are reports sensitives of human rights organizations rights groups and among reporters without borders there are auditor's inside and there is a tension is never down about jamal khashoggi case what one thing my to mistake us just before when the situation when the incident 1st occurred we had very high voices from turkey is president and all other politicians. accusing is saudi arabia and even the top officials of saudi arabia now that political voice is a little bit down because there is a judiciary process underway which turkish officials and the rights groups say here believe that at least it's going to be a way to seek justice for jamal put your chair and yet to muckleshoot you're being a good journalist of course there is always an attention from press this by its
1:09 pm
thinking that this this trial may it may take even the years. for the court in istanbul we will have more coverage on this news out to come over. the trial of the 28 saudi nationals accused of killing jamal. also coming up fear in this program the french prime minister resigns paving the way for a cabinet reshuffle we'll take you live to paris on that one also the price of food in lebanon it's jumped by as much as $0.18 look at why that's happening. and in sports we will hear it was one of the balls best young players has to say about the n.b.a. leads return to us. right now though england is taking another step back towards normality on saturday with head dresses cafes and hope and pubs reopening their doors good news for the hospitality sector that has already lost millions due to the coronavirus lockdown
1:10 pm
but as emma haywood reports from rutland there are still fears that opening up could invite a new wave of inspections. the reception desk was originally that that come to the front of the shop caroline's preparing the sign on for her 1st clients in 3 months lockdown meant she couldn't open any of a barber shops now she's booked but it's hardly business as usual under new rules stylists will have to wear visors and a prince and customers will be kept apart from one another as much as possible caroline's determined to keep customers and staff safe is a while ray is the wife of the star of i think the customers are going to be quite safe because we're going to clean everything down but i think probably a bit more worry for the staff coming back when they've been self isolating or you know how and then all of a sudden they've got a touch people. you know is that extra worry for us railway in parts of the u.k.
1:11 pm
social distancing rules are being reduced from 2 meters to one these marks the hair says and i stick to time barbara britain is one of the country's worst affected by coronavirus and some have questioned whether the changes are coming too soon. of a rise in cases the last few months though have been a rocky ride for business with thousands of jobs lost a no way of knowing what's to come usually at this time of year people will be going through the gates bought this place has had to close and lose most of its staff and it's thought it won't be able to fully reopen until early next year many hotels pubs and restaurants are reopening at the old white hot in rutland they've kept busy throughout this crisis making meals for people working in the local hospital. so they're taking no chances but i unlike many other balls have the luxury of space so people can socially distance. and with reservations
1:12 pm
ready lined up for the weekend the chef is prepping the kitchen all customers will be required to leave their name and contact details just in case there's any outbreak of corona virus and they need to be traced and it will be different social distancing will be having in doles. with. all the different measures that are going to be in place i am a bit apprehensive. of people coming in that you never met before but i think if we put all the measures in place everybody should be safe some believe relaxing the rules down particularly on a saturday could send infections soaring of course opening up the hospitality industry will boost the economy only in the coming weeks so we know the full impact of the changes to the u.k. economy and the health of the nation and i would. also england is now
1:13 pm
dropping coronavirus travel restrictions for travelers coming in from more than 50 countries from july 10th passengers arriving from places viewed as low risk will no longer need to self isolate for 14 days that rule was brought in last month and has been fiercely opposed by the travel industry a full list of exempt countries hasn't actually been released yet but will likely include germany france spain and italy more with rory chalons he's at heathrow airport outside of london rory talk us through how this will actually work and this list of countries which are expecting. them all the system is currently in place has been in place for just over a month and it was brought in way after many other countries around the world already imposed and then loosens their tight controls on borders what the u.k. said was that anyone coming back from overseas would have to sell korean team for 2
1:14 pm
weeks there were howls of protest from the travel industry over this saying this year's nonsensical it would make that much different to infection rates and that she would financially finish them off after the hit they'd already taken from coronavirus so for the last 2 weeks the government's been saying a new system is coming. there we're talking about something called bridges reciprocal arrangements with other countries and what we're expecting today is not quite that what we're going to get is a kind of traffic lights system with a list of 5060 countries where people coming from those countries would no longer have to self quarantine on their return we know that france and italy and germany and spain are going to be on that list we know that new zealand is going to be on that list but where this different differs from the air bridges system is that on some of these cunt. trees people going to them so people arriving in new
1:15 pm
zealand would still actually have to quarantine when they get to new zealand because of the perceived risk of corona virus in the u.k. people coming into news even from the u.k. obviously a big name that people are watching out for the united states that is going to be on the red list so brits would still have to self quarantine coming back from the united states greece is still in the red list as well. it's exposed again fractures within the united kingdom because this is just a system that is england specific at the moment scotland and northern ireland of the cetera still waiting to bring out their regulations in the u.k. the english government has been. asking the devolved governments of scotland and northern ireland accept or whether they will be on board with this and they haven't said that they are at the moment so there are still issues with the about how this
1:16 pm
is actually going to be rolled out probably thank you rory challenge at heathrow in . france as prime minister has resigned a move that paves the way for a cabinet reshuffle and stepped down automatically or his stepping down automatically triggered the resignation of his entire cabinet earlier this week he was elected as the mayor of a port city in northern fronts our correspondent in paris to talk us through this one well basic question why why now. well because the french president a man or man crawl made it clear during the current virus pandemic that he was looking to reinvent himself he has 2 years left of his presidency and he says that he wants to make his presidency the government closer to the people so theists was really something already on the cards it was widely expected that the french president would reshuffle his cabinet now we just don't know when that was going to
1:17 pm
happen but of course that's become clear as the prime minister had wofully handed in his resignation and that of the cabinet to my core and it was accepted we are waiting now to hear when a new government will be appointed it is expected to happen today and what some are expecting is that micro mind choose to put more green faces if you if you want to put it that way in his cabinet he knows that the green party is on the rise in france the local elections only this week showed that many french voters favored green candidates and it's something the man or woman kroll has talked about a lot trying to make his last 2 years more environmentally friendly if you like and we also expect him to perhaps appoint more women came attention but with that update from paris thank you we return now to our top story the murder trial underway in istanbul a correspondent with us now of course covered the story from istanbul in the early
1:18 pm
days in fact right through it jamal what do you make of what actually happens today we know that the 20 suspects are not bear the never going to come to istanbul they're never going to be arrested how does this work in the larger picture of bringing justice for jamal and his family. well. it's more symbolic than it is going to be effective in terms of bringing justice in that at least there is some sort of trial at least there is some sort of quest for justice albeit as you say something that is going to be symbolic of the fact that a court case is taking place the fact that there are names of those who are believed to have played a major role so the tunny whose voice is heard in some of the recordings that they had in the last cd who was the former intelligence deputy intelligence chief of the saudis that is something at least to take heart from that it's not something that's
1:19 pm
being brushed under the carpet but even though it not being brushed under the carpet even though there is a spotlight that is reemerging on this case that shocked the world the fact that it is still falling short of being able to put handcuffs on those who are responsible for it that they're not going to be in some sort of a courtroom that is where a lot of frustration lies the turks will say well you know they're doing their best in order to ensure that some sort of judicial process is followed because obviously not many people have had faith in the saudi one not least because the saudis have failed to give any names of those who were allegedly standing trial but there is still more that the turks could do they could ask for a u.n. investigation or that the u.n. takes the lead on this as member states have the right to do so they haven't done that whether that is something they may look to do once this proceedings take place and therefore they have something to fall back on and say well the u.n. look we have a court proceeding that went ahead and went through but because we're unable to
1:20 pm
indict these people because of the lack of bilateral extradition treaties between the riyadh and ankara that's something to wait and see but for now it is symbolic justice more than it is an effective one that is being pursued let's go even further up the food chain than 100 been some of the saudi crown prince the de facto . leader of saudi arabia who it was always said was the man pulling the strings the man who ordered it is that 21 months later is still something which the turks hold onto and ultimately he hold him responsible well the turks were very. careful in the beginning to officially not mention the king and the heir apparent directly but having said that there was other ways that whereby it's came about in terms of his involvement being mentioned you had a houseful the cia chief you had. the u.n. special reports or and others saying that based on the evidence that was given by
1:21 pm
the turks they believe that the crown prince if not get directly responsible for giving the order was definitely aware of what was going on and therefore it will fight those responsible for it because he could have put a stop to it if he wanted to now really they aren't so careful because what has transpired since the murder. is that any relationship diplomatic relationship between the saudis has crumbled to the point where you have now saudi. media you have. a lot of saudi officials coming out and aggressively attacking turkey we've seen it with many different issues not just with the case for example which i can involve mintz in libya of the turkish economy calls for saudis not to go and obviously try to coronavirus to go on holiday in turkey an attack on the turkish economy turkish truck drivers being stranded in the deserts of saudi arabia without being allowed through so right now there's not much
1:22 pm
for the turks to lose in terms of their our bilateral relations with saudi to actually come out and you know put a target on have been some man being the person responsible for it having said that diplomacy is a lot more complicated there is always that kind of back channel that countries would like to keep just in case this specific traditional trial is something. that will possibly give them that leverage maybe if there are if it goes on minute drags on and there's enough international attention then it's something that maybe they can use to try and leverage some sort of political gain maybe reestablish some equilibrium between them and the saudis and the relationship that is possibly something very important and true could be a benefit of this trial jamal i'll share with his insights into the case from months of covering the story thank you for that. china has threatened to retaliate after the u.s. congress unanimously approved sanctions against beijing over its new security law in hong kong the bill which still needs to be approved by the president would
1:23 pm
penalize banks doing business with chinese officials behind the new legislation beijing said this the u.s. move has grossly interfered in china's internal affairs and seriously violated international law as well as the basic norms governing international relations if the us side is bent on going down the wrong path china will resolutely respond with all necessary counter measures from hong kong sir clog with more on china's reaction this is from the foreign affairs committee has been swift to respond to these sanctions or move by the united states to interfere in china's internal affairs that's a move by the united states to contain or restrain china's progress and development and that says national security is a basic prerequisite a precondition for existence and the development of a nation and these laws have widespread support not just in china and hong kong this is obviously a statement from the chinese government and strongly urged washington to pretty
1:24 pm
much back off and stay out of hong kong and china is a phase that said if the states continues to go down what it's described as being wrong path then obviously china says it will take the necessary response of certainly some threats coming from china and a swift response and condemnation of the of china's introduction of the bicycle the national security laws in hong kong. german chancellor angela merkel says she is worried hong kong's autonomy will be eroded by the new law the united nations is also concerned or this fear that it would lead to activists being persecuted the u.n. pointed to one particular provision of the law which includes part collusion with a foreign country or with external elements a concern is that could be used to restrict civil society and to target activists. the united nations says one in 4 people who contract coronavirus in yemen dies of the town as you write 5 times the global average cash strapped aid agencies have stepped up their response as they also deal with outbreaks of cholera diptheria and
1:25 pm
other diseases last month the un held an aids conference but donors only offered half of what is needed. this leaves a gap of more than a $1000000000.00 with only $558000000.00 provided for it operations only. owners fill their pledges immediately and those who have not managed well gee now. unicef and 2 health organizations have struck a deal to buy an inexpensive steroid to treat critically ill coronavirus patients in poor countries british researchers found dexamethasone significantly reduced mortality among those worst affected by the virus it's cheap it's widely available and is known for its anti inflammatory effects for half a 1000000 people will have access to the drug. and north korea's leader has said his country needs to be our maximum alert against coronavirus state media says kim jong un has warned complacency could lead to an unimaginable crisis north korea is
1:26 pm
yet to report a single case of the virus or health experts there health experts say a major outbreak there would have severe consequences because of a lack of proper health facilities. time for a look at your world weather with everton middle east middle east yeah you could hardly hear it but some storms as well certainly a bit of everything ok ok we're not talking rain storms we're talking dust storms and i think even you could guess where the big lump of cloud that we have just around a man and this is what's known as a hobby move made its way across the north of hama and it's moving in a general westerly direction not too much rain only associated thunderstorms but a lovely picture of the super cell associated with that that haboob and you can see you don't want to be underneath it but it's glorious picture as you can see there we are going to see the storms that cloud that's making its way further west which gradually pushing across into yemen not too much rain on it was a low precipitation supercell that one so there's a dry part of the world like this no great surprises that we're not looking at too
1:27 pm
much rain could see a little more dust just driving in from iraq pushing down towards q 8 heading towards us i think we will avoid the worst of that though as we go through the next couple of days still a few showers cross that western side of yemen follow the winds across the arabian sea the southwest monsoon pushing across south asia now hasn't quite reached karate so here it stays hot and dry but lots of clearer. right up the western ghats pushing across maharashtra pushing across towards garage as we go on through the next couple of days we're looking at some significant rainfall coming in here i think as we go into the early part of next week some parts could see as much as 300 millimeters of rank thank you everton will see more from everton and news out 1300 hours g.m.t. meanwhile still ahead in this news hour. the knife has been pulled out about 3 inches but that doesn't mean that the economy is now healthy and that's not good news for us unemployment figures but tens of millions are still without a job also find out why india's prime minister is visiting
1:28 pm
a border region at the center of a tense to speak with china. and sport off to the beaches of senegal to find out how it all began for one of the english premier league's biggest stars. chile's infamous dictator may be long gone but inequality fueled by his neo liberal economic reforms still plagues the nation. and dissent is still quashed by a heavy handed state apparatus. the people in power examines whether forging a new constitution can turn the page in the most unequal of the world's 30 wealthiest nations chile in a chaise legacy on a just 0. oldest muslim undertakers working here is just 7 days a week that's grown with a community my father purchased

a black ambulance man started to do the funerals in london and the family we saw stopping bothering to watch and we can is this the stories we don't often hear told by the people who the death is such a level. east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera. this is the news hour from al-jazeera and these are the top stories the 1st day of testimony is now wrapped up in the trial of 20 saudi nationals accused of killing journalist jamal khashoggi. saudi consulate employee has been giving his testimony in istanbul shoji of course murdered and dismembered the saudi consulate in
1:30 pm
istanbul back in 2018. england is dropping its coronavirus travel restrictions for russia travelers coming in from more than 50 countries from july 10th passengers arriving from places viewed as low risk will no longer need to self isolate for 14 days and the french prime minister eduardo philippe has stepped down and that also magically triggers the cabinets resignation as well so paves the way for a widely expected government reshuffle he said palace says a new prime minister will be named in the next few hours. back to our top story once again the murder trial of jamal khashoggi and. with us now from london he is the head of international law at all from stock white nice to see you. this i was talking to our correspondent about this earlier this whole process of trying people in absentia who are frankly never going to be arrested does it achieve anything other than the symbolism of it. surely if you're for symptoms
1:31 pm
a program 1st truly does of course because of genius she is a social action and she's exercising her sitting justice writes the 'd course will address what happens if you work a shift. while the saudi regime in turkey this was a premeditated murder. it will have to be. the judiciary and those who are indicted will face the court even though they're not there and the trial most likely to have since you they will have to investigate every detail of what happened to the public book so it will achieve really good results one for the. family course she did lose one issue love and also of people get to know what happened to exactly our member there being a question earlier when all this happened. well the jurisdiction i guess yes it
1:32 pm
happened in a stand bowl and this is now a turkish court which is holding the trial but it also happened in the saudi consul which could be considered saudi land in its stead was there ever result and that is still an issue. there's. been 2 things one she is judge national so it is a natural. jurisdiction for her seek justice for her future so with whom she will go to get married but also. consulates not this is certainly enjoyed seeing immunity in the embassies. and therefore would have helped what happened in the concept is criminally investigate the book and they will investigate what happened and those who assisted this mother. are indicted it's in that list of 20 sell you nationals as you know because they are. proved to be.
1:33 pm
judged for their actions emerging market shifts so jurisdiction is not an issue is just that the fact that it happened in turkey is a natural 'd law place for sitting justice as you know there's no way that this will be properly trial just in saudi arabia in fact we don't know nothing about what happened the saudi court nobody except we just found 5 people guilty let you know who they are what happened to them but that it was only one of us that is not a court which right now you say we don't know anything about so we have a saudi court having a turkish court now is there anywhere potentially higher it could go. and so was last but it was just one millions wondering where potentially potentially this case could go can it go higher to another court or another of course he was released the trial will take some time just. to be a very quick trial this will be several trials that's going to take pot eventually
1:34 pm
more so it's not a saudi regime would still not give up those individuals normal day corporate surety he's going forward here there's also going to help is short will issued arrest warrants and. probably probably invoke their. right of asking for them to be arrested were there see the role interpol many of the states who have this force so that is as far as you can go but it's about really go through the ever go ringback through the moment what happened to him while he walks into that building and we understand probably of course. so let's start what happened to the mantua so we get to know what happens we will get to live in chile there has to be a decision by the court it could go on but the court will seek these people's arrest if they move around saudi arabia and come ons thank you for joining us and for bringing us your legal expertise do appreciate it. india's prime minister has
1:35 pm
made an unannounced visit to the border region at the center of a tense dispute with china and around remote it was accompanied by defense officials during the trip where he spoke with army members tension led to violence last month with the killing of 20 indian soldiers during fighting with chinese troops in the remote go one valley both sides try to blame for that incident but have since sat down for talks to deescalate the situation more than once but purana now in new delhi what did prime minister modi have to say. well firstly it was a complete surprise that he made this trip because on thursday we were told that the defense minister and the chief of defense staff would be traveling but it wasn't until friday morning that we saw that the prime minister had made the trip himself he addressed forces and he said that the age of expansionism is over and also that india has been spending it has been increasing spending on its
1:36 pm
development and on its infrastructure in the border area by 3 times now he made the trip amid the worst tensions between india and china in nearly 50 years they had been as you mentioned 3 rounds of military talks talks between commanders on both sides since that june 15th incident when 20 indian soldiers and unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed but there was a very little information official information from either side and what we have seen since satellite imagery that appears to show a massive military build up on both sides of the border and we also had on thursday the defense ministry approving the purchase of more than $2000000000.00 worth of fighter jets from russia and also upgrading nearly 60 aircraft and a statement from them saying that. referring to the current situation and the need to strengthen the armed forces they said for the defense of our borders
1:37 pm
a prime minister modi making this trip on what has been has been an eventful 2 weeks between india and china but especially this week again it's a bit there has to be a strong domestic political language of this as well the idea of a prime minister visiting a quarter on quarter from. supporting the troops being visual for the people. here you're absolutely right canal because. the prime minister has faced a lot of criticism especially from the opposition since the incident on june 15th because he has been relatively quiet about it until now in fact he had said shortly after that the deaths of the soldiers would not be in vain and after that he faced something of a backlash because he said that no chinese soldiers intruded on indian territory well that was seized upon by chinese state media and the backlash was because the
1:38 pm
indian soldiers here are believed to have died. defending indian trail territory trying to push back chinese soldiers so this trip to the uk is very much prime minister modi showing or at least trying to show that he is involved in what's happening along the border with china was about per annum of that update from new delhi thank you. there is president donald trump has praised the latest economic data as proof that its country is back on track and the 5000000 americans went back to work in june but overall only a 3rd of the 22000000 jobs lost during the pandemic have actually been restored it comes as the u.s. registers and of a daily record this one there in new coronavirus cases all the details now from rosalind jordan. and early morning chance to pass himself on the back u.s. president donald trump told reporters at the point house the economy is surviving
1:39 pm
the covert 19 pandemic new government statistics say nearly 5000000 people started working again in june this is the largest monthly jobs gain in the history of our country today's announcement proves that our economy is roaring back trumps democratic rival for the fight house said the president was celebrating too soon to daisy ford's positive news not thankful for for real and make no mistake. we're still in deep deep job hole because dollars trump has so badly bungled the response to coronavirus economists say trump's description was not accurate they say the figure is how many people were turned to their old jobs more than 3 months after the u.s. economy when it's a quarantine one way to think about that is we have a 9 inch knife stuck in our back the knife has been pulled out about 3 inches that doesn't mean that the economy is now healthy really want to thank him for being a friend to the state of florida but that didn't stop the vice president from
1:40 pm
