the board who commissioned the crimes well not indicted here for the 1st time we have the heat men being indicted and we have a number of. those that commissioned the crime not everyone is indicted but a few are indicted a few more than they were indicted in in saudi arabia so for the 1st time over the last year and i have seen talked about 2018 this is a 1st time that the g d short of systemic ease finally confronting its response abilities and ease speaking to general care shogi and to ease murder and to the weaknesses and to the victims in a way that is internationally recognizable ease the power of the law it is the power of the court kimi titian. tricks but e's a powerful space on e t's
2:01 pm
a powerful message and we cannot under plead and we should not underestimate. how much ground it will. look he was not mentioned today by name was mentioned. in in in. tangential fashion. so mohammed bin salman as we know as not been indicted is not part of the indictment. i have not spoken we support secure so i do not know the reason as to why he was not indicted is it because of immunity as requires the head of state are easy because they did not have enough evidence pointing to his responsibilities i wish to remind us all that so far the one country that has claimed to have the evidence about more mid bensalem. responsibility is the united
2:02 pm
states it please the cia and so far the process. undertaken by the american congress to get to the bottom of the information has been hampered who. by the white house but there is a lot of information that teal that still has not been made available and public. there are elections coming up in november so maybe we will be able if there is a change in the white house to get access to this information regarding the rest of mohammad ben-simon maybe without a change to the government in the united states there will still be an opening for more information to be made available so as i think turkey to police playing each role at the moment with the information it has at that it has collected we can
2:03 pm
shouldn't forget other countries in this case the united states also has a role to play it has played a great role so far it needs to continue doing so in spite of the veto from the white house. absolutely i mean it should be each should be there with their i've always said it eas responsible for something personally i did not have the evidence demonstrating whether it altered the crime whether it had incited the crime we're there yet failed to prevent a crime but he was somewhere in the picture and that's enough for criminal responsibility and certainly for his liability what i could not. conclude ease at which level is responsibility lays because i did not have access to the. the
2:04 pm
evidence but he should be mentioned somewhere in the documents. it's not for me to do that i mean it's not there is a formal process i want to be. respectful of the the the turkish criminal court and the turkish. my my personal point of view that he needs to be mentioned if you're going to talk about and indict salad that tanny or i seriously you need to always thought talk about the people to whom those individuals are reporting in terms of their. employee employer relationship and their role in the court so yes i would expect that at some stage the crown prince prince will be mentioned. not no i in all i am removed. so far i will
2:05 pm
not pretend that i have more evidence than the turkish investigators as a collected in fact that could see today during the so few hours that there were information provided during these 3 hours hearing that i was not aware of so i don't think i can. so far at least pour vide information that the turkish prosecutor does not already have 2 of those strands of my report in policing that information within an international legal context and here we are in turkey and turkish lot east prevailing. theory of what you were not aware of well there were aspect of. teaches testimony which were very strong and that was the not aware of it but i would prefer for you to to ask her direct. clearly. you know ask her whether she said anything that she had not said
2:06 pm
before so for more factual standpoint what was interesting to me one thing that struck to me and i need to go back to my notes and you need to remember that everything was translated very well by translators who were very tired at the end because it was very fast so one piece of information which was very interesting to me came from one of the work of the count sort of resident somebody who is we call it so you know a technician who does various things and he in particular is a response to people for likening the firmness of the residents and he told us that on the day of the killing exit of general casual game was called to come and help like in putting the lights to the to the furnace that there were 4
2:07 pm
or 5 years already present who were trying to also like the firmness who clearly were not able to do it without his assistance but at the same time they were not very happy to have him present nevertheless he helped them he made some drugs apparently we try very badly received by the guest and eventually they basically kicked him out and told him to leave when you returned 3 days later in north turned that the motherboard is stored in a round of furnace i've been bleach. yeah so given how this case has so many occasions politically and how turkey generally treats journalists how much they do you have in the turks to come to some semblance of justice here look i fully understand your question and i think it's important indeed to replace that trial within the broader turkish. context
2:08 pm
in the case of. the tease trial and i'm french. it is i think it's an unknown territory for many judicial lactose. in turkey so i don't think because of the nature of the proceedings that kind of treat pair those proceedings with whatever may be happening today i have not heard the outcome of the trial of the amnesty. defenders so i do not know but i think that particular trial these extremely different form of criminal law standpoint i i think we cannot really compare it in terms of the proceedings in terms of the fairness. tried in absentia easily meted because of. the defendants some notary presented and in these kids their lawyers have not spoken with them so you know the trial we never meet the. by its very
2:09 pm
nature independently of where it's taking place it's a trial that he's presenting limitations and we need to acknowledge it but it is a trying which in my view is going to be fairer than the one that took place in saudi arabia it is a trial that is going to be more transparent than the one that took place in saudi arabia is a trial that will allow all of you to hear and listen and speak to the witnesses even want to talk and that was not possible in saudi arabia so from that standpoint it is a step forward. that's right the saudis there have different orders or what you said they have a different floor you have defense they are defense lawyers who have been appointed by the bar the problem is that as far as i could understand. most of them or all of them were not born to establish contact with their clothes. so it
2:10 pm
makes their capacity to defend their clients difficult. these being said today during the hearing lawyers intervene and did ask some contradictory question and that's important in fact i would like to invite their lawyer to the extent that he given their. their relationship with their client tanana relationship i think it is important for the try to be contradictory i don't think we should ever try that he's a smooth sailing i think that would be bad so i'm hoping that the lawyers whatever they can do or how much they can get from their client nevertheless we play an active role during the trial because that will give more legitimacy as well to the trial and their questions were important than they were to yes yes yes so.
2:11 pm
it's just gone 11 g.m.t. i'm. mamma is responsible for something there's the strong words we've just heard from. the un special rapporteur for extra judicial executions she was speaking there outside a court in. after the 1st day of trial proceedings against 20 saudi nationals who were indicted for the murder of jamal khashoggi some 21 months ago speaking to. also courtroom in bull. said that this trial was important for truth telling it to. she at least is determined to keep up the pressure to find justice for him. exactly exactly because. basically what color marts. this is not
2:12 pm
a perfect trial about it is something i think that we can't have any access in saudi arabia so the best part of the trial in that sense which is not very familiar with the legal proceedings in other countries you have a chance to listen to the with this is you have access to the witnesses and this is a transparent platform especially for the journalists who will who will let the world know about the details of your murder and to market you to us at the end was a journalist who suffered because of saudi arabia's government's decisions but what i understand from magnus color martha is that she was not very happy about the international presence of the court i have been explaining since arrived here yes the turkish media is here into national media and news agencies are here they're up to a woman rights embassy n.g.o.s inside who are who audited the 1st hearing however
2:13 pm
she criticized that there was no representative from the united nations which an international body that should be much more concerned and much paying attention to this case also she emphasized the role of the united states because what turkey can do is maximum this having orchestrating and trial and stance and the united states should be involved more. important task to exert its pressure on saudi arabia this is what that in this column are has expected and i and i understand she was pretty disappointed about. about to the presence of the u.s. and the u.n. today was just the 1st day when we heard the witness testimonies. say that there would be more information coming out what is the next step for this trial. well there are 54 witnesses in the indictment and today we listened around 10 of
2:14 pm
them they were the drivers guard the nurse who have been working for the called slate and the consuls residence and actually the testimony today a pretty interesting because all of them they explain how they were ordered to stay out for a. stay away from the consulate building or do residents building especially on the day and the following days of the murder and the interactions the dialogues between the consul general and other security officers one testimony was very interesting it is a bit one of the technicians who was ordered to take some days of but a few days later. he was ordered to be all but he was ordered to live in that to turn over and that experts believe that his body might have been burned inside that time during which works with a very high temperature and
2:15 pm
a couple of days later he was called back again in his testimony he told the press a curator and church that. he figured out the marble around the legal to turn. its color changed in it because it was used to clean it so he he also hinted that i should just buy that might have been burned there but probably in some more evidence will be coming out what we understand from august column arts statement but she says everything is so far was already presented by the prosecutors and that means ok send them for now thank you very much. france has a new prime minister there he said palace has announced that it will take over from edward philip who resigned on friday please resignation automatically triggered the resignation of his entire cabinet this week belief was elected as the mayor of law of the city in northern france as
2:16 pm
a correspondent. in paris that's actually what we know about this new prime minister. yes well the reshuffle of the french government was certainly expected him and of mark has been talking about that for some time but what wasn't expected was that france would have a new prime minister that barely any french people have heard of he's called dexys 55 and he was until now the mare of a small town in the peyronie's he has worked in politics in other ways of course most recently he was appointed by the outgoing prime minister ed wofully and he was put in jail to be put in charge of france's an easing of its lockdown he's called in france mr de confinement that's the way that he was known that said very few people could actually even pointed to what he looks like recognize him so people are really just discovering him here in france what we do know though is
2:17 pm
politicians of all persuasions seem to consider that he is a very safe pair of hands a very efficient politician who is also very well connected it's also seen the perhaps emanuel mark rohr wanted to appoint somebody that wasn't particularly well known that perhaps doesn't have too big a personality to allow the president himself to shine again if you want to take a more prominent role or center stage because until now the outgoing prime minister edwar phillipe has become politically popular with the french people his age he often rates much higher than a man or woman call and perhaps could be seen as a threat tomorrow or could that be seen as perhaps a reason as to why he resigned. well we don't really know why edward felipe is no longer the french prime minister it could be because he no longer wanted to be the french prime minister in fact earlier this week he took part in the local elections running as the mayor of running as
2:18 pm
a candidate i should say for the mayor of the northern french port of larnaca he won that election and at the time when he decided to run some in france said look this is said wofully perhaps distancing himself from mark rohr or trying to break away from the government perhaps to leave the government and in the future there's some speculation edward felipe might want to run as president and this could be a pastor that on the other hand many thought that michael would want to keep felipe on side because of course if he was going to be a threat to him politically would be better to have him as his prime minister than working against him so we haven't heard from edwar felipe as to why he is no longer the promise that we haven't heard of course from the president so we might hear a little bit more during the day when other cabinet posts will be appointed ok tash about lebron has the very latest from paris thanks very much natasha. england is dropping coronavirus travel restrictions for travelers coming from more than 50
2:19 pm
countries in the 10th of july passengers arriving from places viewed as low risk will not need to self isolate for 14 days the rule was brought in last month has been fiercely opposed by the travel industry a full list of exempted countries hasn't been released yet but is set to include germany france spain and italy for a challenge has more from london on how the restrictions are set to loosen up. what the u.k. said was that anyone coming back from overseas would have to self quarantine for 2 weeks there were howls of protest from the travel industry over this saying this year's nonsensical it wouldn't make that much different to infection rates and actually it would financially finish them off after the hit already taken from coronavirus so for the last 2 weeks the government's been saying that a new system is coming. there we're talking about something called air bridges reciprocal arrangements with other countries where expecting today is not quite that what we're going to get as a kind of traffic lights system with
2:20 pm
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 difference differs from the averages system is that on some of these countries people going to them so people arriving in new zealand would still actually have to quarantine when they get to new zealand because of the perceived risk of coronavirus in the u.k. and people coming in to news even from the u.k. obviously have 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 sell quarantine coming back from the united states greece is still in the red list as well. china has threatened to retaliate after the u.s.
2:21 pm
congress unanimously approved sanctions against beijing over its new security law and hong kong the bill which still needs to be approved by the president would penalize banks doing business with chinese officials behind the new legislation but aging said this u.s. move is 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 sarah clarke has more on china's reaction this is from the foreign affairs committee has been swift to respond it's of 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's as 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
2:22 pm
this is obviously a statement from the chinese government and strongly urged washington to pretty much back off and stay out of hong kong and china as a phase that's if the united states continues to go down what it's described as the wrong path then obviously china says it will take the necessary response so certainly some threats coming from china and a swift response and condemnation of the of china's introduction of the by 60 or the national security laws in hong kong. german chancellor angela merkel says she's worried hong kong's autonomy will be eroded by the new law united nations is also concerned as fair lead to activists being persecuted un pointed to one particular provision of the law which includes quote collusion with a foreign country or with external elements there's concern that it could be used to restrict civil society and target activists. india's prime minister has made an unannounced visit to the border region at the center of a tense dispute with china there and removed he was accompanied by defense
