4:03 pm
international community is important so i can ask our mother she also spoke about the united states and we will be talking to mike hanna in washington about that shortly but i want to start with our correspondent in istanbul you were outside the court today go through exactly what happened. well come on this is the 1st hearing of the trial in absentia as agnus column art put it through after the hearing was finished this is it has a theatrical side because the suspects are not here and it is since they don't have physical presence in tricky it is impossible to charge them with with anything here but of course the court might decide for several life sentences this is what is expected but as per the un report next call a march this is better than having nothing like
4:04 pm
a court procedure that is ongoing in saudi arabia and this is the 1st time that we have access to the witnesses of the case we were able to hear them hear what the what happened during the day off to murder and then the following days for instance there are 54 witnesses in this case and we were able to hear is this some of their testimonies as a some of them were gardeners drivers technicians especially the technical worker who works for diversity of saudi arabia's then consulate in istanbul he was ordered to take some days off but before going he was or they did the security personnel of the consulate told them to lit fire in the open a big thunder which was built in the garden of the saudi council's residence as you will remember many experts discuss that since jamal has shook his buddies still haven't been able to be found his body might have been burned in that high
4:05 pm
temperature of one and a couple of days later that technical worker came back to the residence and in his testimony today he's sad that the marble surrounding the lead of the of the tendu has changed and somebody has used in ny to. be. kind of bleach kind of cleaner it's crazy that that's why this was a very interesting but all of the consulate employees who have testimony today and whole will be testifying and they following hearing that they have been ordered to take some days off that's why it was important to hear their testimonies today but at the court the 2nd the hearing is postponed for not postponed but set for november 24 as the u.n. reports are of this column are sad she expects to see a more international presence because she was not very happy that it was mostly the
4:06 pm
local and international press rather than your international body representatives to the hearing ok thank you for that simcoe so you're following the trial in istanbul to this day jamal khashoggi remains have never been found we've got this report now from charles stratford looking back at the events this is the last moment jamal who shows she was seen alive it's october the 2nd 2018 the journalist who wrote for the washington post newspaper had gone to the saudi consulate in istanbul to get documents he needed for his wedding. his fiance and egypt ching is waited for him outside turkish prosecutors say he was murdered his body dismembered and the remains never found 20 sound is indicted for murder to be tried in their absence in a court in istanbul police a security camera video and photographs show the saudi suspects arriving in istanbul on the day who shows he was killed other video evidence shows them
4:07 pm
checking into a hotel going to the consulate before returning to the airport and leaving that night you stumble prosecutors accuse former deputy head of saudi general intelligence of mcgillis sciri a former royal advisor sorrow the qahtani of instigating murder with monstrous intent. the 18 other defendants include this man who had moved tribe who frequently traveled with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin soma on her show she's murder caused widespread revulsion around the world he'd been in self-imposed exile for around a year because he was afraid of being arrested if he returned home he formally being close to the saudi royal family but in recent years became a vocal critic of the saudi crown prince some western governments and the cia said they believe muhammad bin solomon ordered the killing the kingdom denies that last
4:08 pm
december a saudi called sentenced 5 men today essence free to jail after a long and secretive trial the un's special rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions agnes' kalama who completed a 6 month investigation into could show his murder said the saudi trial made a mockery of justice none of the guilty officially named last may who showed his sons said they forgave the murderers rights groups said the pardon had been forced column and said it was another saudi example of a parody of justice turkey accuses the saudi government of obstructing the murder investigation the saudis say the istanbul prosecutor didn't comply with requests to share information the saudi crown prince has denied ordering the murder but admitted bearing responsibility is the kingdom's effective leader stand again for aging kings. for shows he's fiance had teaching is says she hopes the trial will at
4:09 pm
least shed light on where his body is chance transferred al jazeera. i mentioned this earlier i guess kalama stressing the need for the united states to share the information it has related to the crown prince's involvement have a listen. the one country that has claimed to have the evidence about more med bensalem and responsibility easy united states t's the cia and so far the process. undertaken by the american congress to get to the bottom of the information as been hampered to a veto by the white house. so more with mike hanna now in washington d.c. on this how might this calabar sort of putting the ball slightly in the u.s. courts there we live in a very different world though 2 years later and i wonder if this still has any
4:10 pm
political traction in the u.s. . well it's one of the rare bipartisan issues or think congress let's just take a look what's happened in recent months the department of national intelligence finally sent a briefing to congress back in february but that briefing consisted of and classified report which basically said the classified details which were attached in an annex cannot be made public because a threat to national security members of congress have picked up on this they've sent letters to the director of national intelligence demanding that the classified section of this report be made public a one democrat senator is actually wanting to invoke a law insisting that this information be made public now it's understood from several members of congress that this particular classified and makes very clear the intelligence services assumption that mohamed been soundman was directly
4:11 pm
implicated in jamal khashoggi is murder so this is something that is ongoing in congress they will attempt to take some kind of action to force the department of national intelligence to make public that classified section which is sitting at congress but they are prohibited from making it in the public purview so you've given us the view of legislators in congress they're inevitably we think about what donald trump would say or do is this well what is his position on. the murder and the relationship with saudi arabia. well the relationship with saudi arabia according to president trump is absolutely excellent he continues to refer to mohammad been saddam as my very good friend but some details have emerged in john bolton the former national security advisers new book he goes back to a statement made by president trump back in november 2018 in which he basically
4:12 pm
washed his hands of the matter saying that maybe someone was responsible maybe he was not but saudi arabia is a valuable ally of the united states so basically we don't care we're going to go on as normal now bolton's allegation is that president trump intentionally made this statement to detract attention away from the fact that his daughter ivanka trump was using white house services service for private e-mail messages now this is a direct allegation made by john bolton in his book giving it as an example of president transfer pensa t. to attempt to distract from something that may be damaging to him personally and to has been that is administration so certainly the whole issue of the murder of jamal khashoggi still very high on the radar within the united states whether congress can force some kind of action against a administration that refuses to do so that is something that's still playing out very interesting thank you for that mike hanna in washington d.c.
4:13 pm
and now is with us he is the managing editor of the english language newspaper in turkey always nice to see you how does turkey make this work this trial when you have a trial where the accused are not there they never will be there they never will be arrested and will probably never face justice what can turkey. seems also to say this but get out of this. well 1st of all i think turkey sees this whole case an incident as something that happened within its border and it needs to tackle it legally at the national level to get best 1st of all that there has to be there secondly it's i think turkey and turkish authorities sees this as a duty to you know holding this trial as a duty to the legacy and his family and more so i think the fact that there is this trial being held at the internet at the national level it's toki pain its moral and
4:14 pm
legal obligations. over this incident which ultimately can turn into something that is more international i mean right after it happened yes the western countries mostly responded to this with condemnation remarks but like the previous correspondent said i think although it is high on their agenda it doesn't go beyond simple lip service due to very strong links between riyadh and some of the western leadership however and for turkey it needs to make sure that you know i think it's a giving a clear message with this trial that anything that happened within within its borders any criminal activity such as this one is not going to be just pushed under the carpet or turkey will not be satisfied with show trials such as what to that happen in riyadh which clearly like some sort of transparency so or yes there is
4:15 pm
this. royal re geopolitically between turkey and saudi arabia but i think for this particular case turkey has said it several times turkish leadership and authorities have said it several times that this is not a bilateral issue but this is rather a legal issue that turkey needs to tackle and it requires riyadh's cooperation for for this to be very transparent and sort of there is not questions answered but i mean if we look at it from a very simple perspective now i mean the only the only thing that we need to answer right now is the fact that the body is not even in a normal place would deter take this higher i mean i discount him i was quite clear today in saying this is state sponsored this was a state execution. go beyond the turkish courts where can it go from there i mean international criminal courts or toki will. diplomacy to
4:16 pm
make sure that this is how at some sort of international. legal body i think it will this is ultimately what needs to be happening for the international audience to be satisfied and this case is not simply covered up. thank you for joining us today on this 1st day of the murder trial thank you one other story out of turkey for you a number of explosions at a fireworks factory there dozens of people injured in these blasts in the northwestern province of scalia it's estimated up to 200 people were inside at the time and at the moment it is unclear exactly what sparked the explosions. libyan government forces have unearthed bodies from another mass grave in a former stronghold of the warlord holly for hafter 5 bodies have been found at the latest size yet to be identified as the search continues for more graves government
4:17 pm
forces say they found more than $200.00 bodies in told her and in the area south of tripoli the un's expressed its hora over the discoveries and called for an investigation. meanwhile top turkish officials are in libya to discuss ongoing military cooperation with the un recognized government among those in the delegation turkey's defense minister and the army chief of staff turkey backs the tripoli based government in the fight against. in recent weeks turkish supporters helped push afters forces back. let's have a look at what else is coming up for you on this news at. these marks are hey asses and i stiffed it's because they are preparing for the easing of restrictions in england some though still fear could be too soon so the pressure mounts on the u.s. for the washington football team to drop the racist redskins from its name team's owner still isn't budging and the rest of the sport is well we will hear what one
4:18 pm
of basketball's best young players has to say about the n.b.a.'s return to. on to other news in the french president emanuel mccrone has named a new prime minister as part of a cabinet reshuffle aimed at reviving the country's post quarantine economy junko sticks is a senior civil servants and a local mayor has been chosen to replace edward phillipe who stepped down early on friday orchestrated the coronavirus reopening strategy for the country his natasha butler in paris to take us to remember just explain to us why all this is happening and what's what's expected. what we have. happen shuffle this was expected president michael's talked for some time about how he was going to reshuffle his ministers and perhaps the prime
4:19 pm
minister what we now know that we will that we do i should say have a new prime minister here in france jocasta eggs and even though the reshuffle was expected what wasn't expected was his new french prime minister mainly because people here in france about you heard of him so to talk a bit more about this i'm joined by pierre haski a veteran political commentator here and from. his a name that until today most people had never heard of differently many people have never heard even this name but these are rare. polluted because he's on one side is a top technocrat and everybody's praising is efficiency as a technocrat he was in charge recently of the end of the lockdown in france after the pandemic so these are huge responsibilities and on the other side he's a grassroots politician is the mayor of a small town in southwestern france it was reelected in the last municipal elections with 2 thirds of the vote in the 1st round so he has this combination of
4:20 pm
efficiency and being close to at least people in a small town he's also a conservative politician there from a conservative background a man of my calls been talking about wanting to reinvent himself these last 2 years of his presidency bringing change but yet it doesn't really seem changed wofully the outgoing prime minister was also conservative yes and the surprise was that only a few days ago we had local elections which were defeat for my cause party and there was a green wave so everybody expected some kind of indication towards reassuring people that the green and environment turkey patience of the people were taken into account and we have the opposite we have an efficient man but certainly not from that side of the political spectrum we have a man coming from the right with a social conscience when we could say he's been working with the soviet there was
4:21 pm
a health minister in the past and who is a social girlies in the french context so but his main characteristic i think is that he's not going to overshadow him and michael he's going to be a loki efficient no nonsense prime minister and the lights will be on the president and the president will be in some ways both the president and the prime minister and that's in view of the next presidential elections in 2 years' time 2022 only 2 years left and michael one. to be able to tell people you can judge me on what i've done we've just had a huge crisis and then the social and economic crisis and here is what i've done to rebuild the country and that's the message of this change of prime minister all right pierre haski very thank you very much indeed for that analysis and we are in the middle here of course in holland solve the economic crisis there coronavirus pandemic so the government will indeed be very busy ahead and we're still waiting
4:22 pm
here in falls to find out what all the ministers have been appointed by to thank you in paris will jump the channel now to england which is taking another step towards normality on saturday with addresses cafes and pubs reopening their doors good news for the hospitality sector of course that's already lost millions due to the coronavirus lockdown because emma haywood reports from rutland in england there are still fears that opening up could invite a new wave of infections. they were such and ask was originally that that come to the front of the shop caroline's preparing the song 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 her customers and staff safe is
4:23 pm
a while ray is the wife of the star 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 all you know and then all of a sudden they've got a touch people. you know is an extra worry for us relay in parts of the u.k. social distancing rules are being reduced from 2 metres to one these marks the hair says and i stick to time barbara britain is one of the country's worst affected by corona virus and some have questioned whether the changes are coming too soon prompting 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
4:24 pm
kept busy throughout this crisis making meals for people working in the local hospital. so they're taking no chances unlike many other bars have the luxury of space so people can socially distance. and with reservations 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. 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 could 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 particularly on

4:26 pm
organizations that it's been talking to this crisis and that they've come up with this $50.00 to $60.00 countries list which will be. given a kind of traffic light system red. and green countries that are given green lights. or. medium risk from those countries people coming in back to the u.k. or coming from those countries to visit the u.k. wouldn't be required to quarantine for 2 weeks on arrival still in the red bracket people coming from those countries still do you. see. restrictions on that it's a system that is getting i think praise praise being over exaggerating it slightly
4:27 pm
if he's getting the buy in from people in the travel industry now but they have been fiercely critical of the way the government has handled this whole quarantine thing saying that a month ago when the government imposed. it was like shutting the stable. many other countries. had. restrictions at the beginning of the crisis and then moved out of it that's when they started to get the u.k. seems to be doing it the other way round not having. a lot of criticism there's also. a problem with the devolved nations of the united kingdom. because scotland particularly the. way that the changes the regulation has been shambolic. countries she's seen has
4:28 pm
been changing over the last week and that scotland is not buying into this quite yet so. exposing these. lines within the united kingdom thank you for that. health organizations have struck a deal to buy an inexpensive steroids to treat critically ill. countries british research is. significantly reduced mortality among those worst affected by the virus the cheap and widely available steroid is known for its effects up to 4 and a half 1000000 people will have. before we take a break we're going to look at the world weather with. hot. yet hot sums it up hot and dry but i've got a real treat for you c'mon it got some lovely pictures for you hang on to your hat there we go lots of clout there just around amount of course i am talking about the

4:30 pm
a good part of maharastra easing through mumbai watch out next week i think we are likely to see some flooding pictures across the northwestern corner of india will see that wetter weather making its way into some parts seeing as much as 200 or 300 millimeters of rain over the next couple of days kemal they give evidence. of a lot i could say and i would still ahead for you on this news that we report on the mystery surrounding the deaths of nearly $300.00 orphans in botswana also a river under threat how construction of hydroelectric projects in bosnia and herzegovina have villages concerned about their environmental impact and support to the beaches of senegal to find out how it all began for one of the english premier league 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. the ultranationalist marks connected with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis it's really dull as sat in my ground joining with the military to impose a deadly political agenda we have devoted our nation what has happened to their attention that's one of the biggest stains on the country as a whole. not religion this is the politics me and mine an unholy alliance on al-jazeera.
4:32 pm
well the news out here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories the 1st day of testimony has wrapped up in the trial of 20 saudi nationals accused of killing journalist jamal khashoggi they're being tried in turkey in their absence she was murdered and dismembered at the saudi consulate in istanbul nearly 2 years ago the french president emanuel micron's named a new prime minister he is joining us dex a senior civil servant and local man who's been chosen to replace edward philip who stepped on earlier on friday. and england is dropping its coronavirus travel restrictions for people coming in from more than 50 countries from july 10 passengers arriving from places viewed as low risk will no longer need to self isolate for 14 days it's. the philippines president rodriguez to territories signed
4:33 pm
into law the contentious counterterrorism measures that critics say could endanger civil liberties and result in an abuse of power the territory says the legislation is needed to fight modern day terrorism under the law police can bypass the court system and arrest suspects without a warrant they can be held without charge for up to $24.00 days critics fear he will just use it against his opponents more with jamila onondaga now in manila this is sounding serious jamila mean the president will say it simply to fight quote unquote terrorism but that can be interpreted a few different ways. well definitely i mean from the time it was passed by congress when it was certified as urgent a few weeks ago there has been major public outrage here because they basically the fear by many not even the critics of the administration but ordinary citizens is that it may be used against members of the opposition those who criticize the government and they see basically the per your the but the bill at the law was for
4:34 pm
your taxes urgent by congress was also misplaced a priority and ill timed this was able to pass ahead of the much needed economic reforms that congress need to pass at a time of a global pandemic one of the major issues as mentioned really is 2 is is is this and and this terror law will allow states forces law enforcers to detain ordinary civilians without warrants for up to $24.00 days and rights groups say basically this is in direct contrast to what the constitution actually says it infringes on basic civil liberties and they have already vowed that they're going to go to the supreme court to try to stop this from being implemented but the supporters of the of this bill of course the huge backing coming from the military says this is been much needed for many many years because they see the human security act from 10 of 20 or 7 has proven to be any effective they say they leave the law to go against
4:35 pm
terrorists as they described in the in the southern philippines and of course to and what they describe as one of the longest communist insurgencies in the world against the new people's army but it remains to be seen how it will be used the biggest fear though they say is that despite assurances from the military the fear is that institutions really here in the country are not strong enough are not independent enough to enforce and ensure that basically accountability will be placed on those erring officials thank you for all of that that's true in manila. the german chancellor angela merkel says she is worried hong kong's autonomy will be eroded by the new security law the united nations says it's also concerned her fears it would lead to activists being persecuted the u.n. pointed to one particular provision of the law which includes quote collusion with a foreign country or with external elements could be used to restrict civil society

4:37 pm
killing of 20 indian soldiers during fighting with chinese troops in the remote valley both sides traded blame for the incident but have since sat down for talks to deescalate the situation whatever. the world is made of their minds against expansionism today the world is dedicated to development and is welcoming the open the competitiveness of development. we have increased expenditure on the development of border infrastructure but 3 times in the country through this border area development in the construction of roads and bridges at the border areas as also been sped up. following this story for us from new delhi elizabeth purana 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
4:38 pm
india has been spending it has been increasing spending on its 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 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 a satellite imagery that appears to show a massive military build up on both sides of the border and we also had 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

a siege of pakistan stock exchange in karachi but the attackers were killed before they could enter the building they were armed with automatic weapons and grenades a group called the liberation army or b. says its fighters carried out the attack the un security council condemned it and urged all states involved to work with pakistani authorities that really is banned in pakistan the u.s. state department has also labeled it a terrorist organization the group is seeking independence for baluchistan pakistan's largest province which has been plagued with violence for years. this is the remote our own district where soldiers routinely sleep lords reform and problems before convoys can go through in the last few years the insurgency has been pushed back resulting in fewer attacks but leaders accuse foreign powers of continuing to create unrest instability uncertainty instability and uncertainty was the plane we have no doubt it was planned in india like you have knows for the last 2 months that our intelligence agencies thwarted attacks might go unnamed was.
