killing journalist jamal khashoggi was caught on camera landing in turkey and entering the kingdom's consulate in istanbul that's where a prominent and well connected critic of saudi crown prince mohammed bin selman was interrogated killed and dismembered but while $21.00 men were detained by saudi arabia over his murder and 11 went on trial much of what happened in the courtroom remains a mystery the trial was done in secret and close trial that there was no international observers in the hands of the victims or the accused were not published. and there's no more. appeal possible so the nature of the evidence only in every technical part of the trial or most has been questioned by. internationally accepted judicial standards last year 5 of them were given the death penalty for the killing but that's been kept to 20 years in prison 3 others have been given

sentences of saving to teen years and will say is calling a fast i think. the whole verdict seems to me to have been manipulated and i way they used of course they get behind a fig leaf according to practice legal practice in saudi arabia and the family has the right to commute any sentence and the family has issued such a flourish and most probably under duress i don't think it was done really knowing the family. knowing a man so i was surprised by that 2 official gee sounds made the saudi king and crown prince in the weeks after they found his killing the cia and other intelligence agencies have said there's a direct link between the crown prince and the murda the case caused worldwide outrage and tarnished mohammed bin sahlins reputation but several of those in the

despite the us being the country warst hit by kovac 19 in california were cases of fallen over the past 2 weeks many flocked to the beach to escape a record breaking heat wave the state still has double the number of cases it had going into the memorial day long weekend in may that national holiday was followed by a surge in corona virus cases widely blamed on social gatherings over the weekend. well labor day is also the traditional kickoff for the u.s. presidential campaign and it sees president trump still trailing his democratic rival joe biden in the polls the trunk campaign has been centered on law and order and how to recover from the economic damage done by the coronavirus meanwhile biden is focusing the election on trump's handling of the pandemic and rising unemployment and the president's worries are predicted to continue with the release of a tell all book by his former lawyer michael cohen on tuesday. while campaigning earlier

in the swing state of pennsylvania joe biden said trump's claims about the possibility of a vaccine before election day undermining public confidence in a cure. would be. one of the problems we might. be very worried if the really good the weak. going on the market with. jordan joins us live now from alexandria virginia so. traditionally the 1st day of campaigning of course this hardly has been a normal year obviously not a normal election year what would you say the state of the campaign is is so far. well if you take a look at

a number of national polls that have been taken in the past week this is a very competitive race between donald trump the republican incumbent and joe biden the democratic opponent for the white house the polling a does have the democratic contender ahead of the republican incumbent by anywhere from 4 points which would be just about around the margin of error in essence calling it a tied race to having joe biden ahead of donald trump by as much as 11 points and that's according to the latest c.b.s. news poll but of course the election is a little under 60 days away and the only result that matters is the vote count on november 3rd so what you have is both candidates and their running mates speaking to the american public all of this labor day basically trying to grab their attention the tradition is that after a long lazy relaxing summer american voters are going to start paying attention to

national politics but as you said this has not been a normal year and certainly with the covert $1000.00 pandemic still underway here in the united states there is considerable public interest in what both campaigns say they will do to try to end the pandemic once and for all once the election takes place on november 3rd and president trump is having a particularly rough couple of days he still fighting back against the atlantic magazine report that he called the u.s. war dead loser isn't suckers how damaging is that considering that michael cohen his former lawyer his book comes out tomorrow tuesday and seems to contain some pretty damaging information as well. well it seems as if the book for michael cohen now once known as trump's fixer may simply add to the president's political woes the magazine article which came out late on thursday

really did create a political problem for dull trump going into this holiday weekend and the allegations coming from cohen's book according to those who have obtained advance copies may only add to the president's problems the book talks about the president's penchant for engaging in races language and perhaps carrying out activities in his business dealings that the violations of federal anti-discrimination laws and it also contains a lot of information apparently about donald trump's admiration for the russian president vladimir putin and the way that he rules his country and those things may become more problematic raising more questions for the president once the country is officially back to work on tuesday. with the laces there from alexandra in virginia thank you for staying in the u.s. wildfires have burned more than 2000000 acres in california this year setting an

annual record with the most dangerous part of the year still ahead nearly 15000 firefighters are battling almost 2 dozen wildfires across the state of california one of the fires is believed to have been sparked by pyrotechnics at a so-called gender reveal party in san bernardino county 8 people have been killed and more than 3000 structures have been destroyed over the past 3 weeks officials have expanded evacuation orders for rural communities in the past of a huge fire in california's sierra national forest. the korean peninsula has been battered by its 2nd major storm in just a week and that brought heavy rains and strong winds after hitting japan's southern islands but has now been downgraded to a tropical storm from pa in south korea bride reports. haitian came howling ashore pummeling this southeast corner of south korea the 2nd

destructive typhoon within a matter of days this seafront restaurant was already extensively damaged by typhoon my sack last week the same family have been running it for 40 years and say they've never experienced storms like these papa had the incident you get up on things are completely wrecked i'm at a loss i don't know where to begin life is already tough before this. like typhoon my sag this typhoon 1st pounded the main southern japanese island of q shoe with winds gusting up to 200 kilometers per hour prompting an order for nearly $2000000.00 people to evacuate their homes. john battered the southern islands of japan it lost some of its intensity but by the time it reached the korean peninsula it was still a powerful typhoon bringing destructive winds and torrential rain already drenched

from successive typhoons and don't usually prolong seasonal rains there's been more flooding especially along the peninsula's east coast extending up into north korea the country's leader kim jong un has taken a prominent role in directing the cleanup of earlier typhoon damage and punishing officials for failing to prevent the flooding of the main eastern city of one son that city has been inundated once more by hi sharon. back in south korea attack one inspects the damage to his fish distribution business if more powerful typhoons are now the norm he says maybe the country has to adapt to the new reality. you know government should build sea defenses alone discoursed as a priority to star ways of the size in the future he and his neighbors wait anxious lee to find out what the surrounding seas might throw at them next rob mcbride

al-jazeera south korea. well the latest typhoon was that graded by the time it reached north korea but the country has been badly hit by the recent storms let's talk more about this with leeds university korea analyst and then fausta carter who joins us via skype from exeter in england sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera we were just saying in that report kim jong il and playing i guess quite a visible role going to the areas that have been hit by the bad weather perhaps seems that what you used to seeing him and what what do you make of his reaction and i guess all the challenges that north korea seems to be facing right now oh absolutely enormous challenges and i think that's what explains this is rather unusual behavior. now actually his 9th year of rule he has been sort of yes quite smiley and get soften about more than his his late father kim jong il the people who throw the distant but never quite like this because north korea isn't

a bad way it's hit by you had sanctions ever tighter because of its nuclear and missile testing which they haven't actually done for a little while maybe they can't hit by couth it that's a whole other thing they claim not to have it but they've shut the borders and they act like a state that doesn't have it so trade has suffered enormously and now an incredible number 33 large typhoons is in the space of a month an extraordinary lawman soon season so he's asking about a north korean television which normally only broke us a few hours a day is now a bit more like 0 television everywhere else that had reporters on the street so there are those blurred inside out and up to the knees in water as if to say i think the subtext to me is well look this nature is just doing all this to us and so if there isn't so much to celebrate as the 70 year thought of us or the party coming out supposed to be a big deal in a month's time well it's not our fault i guess it's quite difficult though north

korea. point the finger at him joel and say it is your fault for pretty obvious reasons you wouldn't last that very long but so do you think that he does still feel threatened that somehow that that all these you know covert the sanctions now the typhoon that he could damage i guess his hold on power. yes i mean it is an absolute dictatorship but every country has politics of some sort it is thought particularly in south korea or so they felt that particularly closely that he's been delegating power a bit his sister kim you know john has become very prominent there's a couple of officials at the scene a good moment in the couple of military officials also who've been very programmed and there's been the suggestion that. she's giving up absolute power but if he has to point the finger of blame someone else surely will his sister but maybe the others he's already done a bit of that one son was mentioned quite a big city on the east coast not been hit for a 2nd time and there seems to been some disaster there and old habits die hard this

case we haven't been told but talk of dozens of casualties and kim jong un probably sacked the provincial boss he wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now i guess. the other interesting thing about can john compared to his predecessor is that is that he has actually refuse that any help in dealing with covert as you say that he admitted officially for example when there was a famine in the mid ninety's they did ask for international aid is that a risk of that again do you think that. yes i think so i mean it's you know he does have a tight grip the secret police the usual means but there are nonetheless core constituencies like the party the party faithful who get to live in pyongyang the way the 'd show appears capital now that they'll be really happy because they've just the latest appeal after this latest typhoon is so popular loyal party members to to rush to the east coast of its kind old fashioned business and do what exactly most of us

would solve this by technology they probably don't like you know not they he needs to. keep them happy the populace probably have to grin and bear it a lot about half of the population is not true secure or even even in good times i mean it's a country it's a it's a grim country survives or you are grim conditions and has done very a famine which is not on the cards at the moment hopefully but nonetheless there were hopes of kim jong un i think people thought they would look better he even promised russia in his 1st year that people would no longer have to tighten their belts he took that back this yeah question explicitly say so it is difficult for. him foster carter at korea analysts that leeds university sir thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us thank you. lots more still to come in this news hour including new witnesses tell an inquiry they try to warn us of their suspicions minutes before the manchester arena bombing. bad hair day protesters forced the closure of

u.k. prime minister boris johnson has set a 5 week deadline to reach a trade agreement with the e.u. or britain will leave with no deal and as the reports now from london new legislation he's reportedly planning is also worrying some people in brussels and in british industry. i he won an election promising to get bricks it done and telling the british public he had an oven ready deal now could he be driving a coach and horses through the divorce agreement signed last year with the european union this week boris johnson's government is expected to introduce legislation changing agreed rules on exporting goods across the irish sea brussels believes that would contradict the withdrawal agreements breaching britain's international legal responsibilities and risk a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland the head of the european commission the sort of underlying tweeted i trust the british government to implement the withdrawal agreement an obligation under international law and

prerequisite for any future partnership protocol on island northern ireland is essential to protect peace and stability on the island and integrity of the single market. each chief negotiator michel barnier who's in london on tuesday for the 8th round of talks says he remains worried because boris johnson seems to want the best of both worlds at the same time the prime minister's telling the e.u. there needs to be a deal struck by the next leaders summit in mid october. in a written statement he said there needs to be an agreement with our european friends by the time of the european council on the 15th of october if it's going to be enforced by the end of the year so there is no sense in thinking about timelines that go beyond that point if we can't agree by then then i do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us and we should both accept that and move on nobody is quite clear why the u.k. government is doing this it might be to pressure brussels into making further concessions in tricky areas such as fishing rights perhaps its designs to please

hardliners in boris johnson's conservative party before the u.k. makes its own concessions over the next month or maybe as part of a strategy to let the u.k. head off into the uncertain waters of a no deal breaks it could delay in his statement boris johnson says the latter would be a good outcome for britain this expert says whatever the intention the most likely outcome now is no deal the u.k. trading with the e.u. on world trade organization rules the european union is increasingly worried by an ideal wreck that they see as an a 2nd or 3rd order in terms of priorities for them i don't see the u.k. government headed by a prime minister and adviser who are not worried at all about no deal and can see they see the political and economic. upsides of a no deal as as worth pursuing this month groups representing u.k. truckers contacted the government saying it was sleepwalking into a disaster warning of severe disruption to supply chains. and on monday another

warning from berlin film was the cause of the time in the u.k. must be willing to compromise on the key issues governance level playing field and issues once more we believe a deal can be reached but at the same time the german government is preparing for a no deal situation. with the prolong status quo coming to an end on the 31st of december time is of the essence unless of course you're running down the clock. al-jazeera london. the latest stage in julian a songes legal battle against extradition to the united states has got underway here in london that we can leaks founder is wanted for espionage in the u.s. for leaking secrets related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan on the 1st day of the hearing a judge rejected a request by a songes lawyers to the lay proceedings until next year so they could deal with new allegations from the u.s. well joining us now via skype from the u.a.e. u.k. county of wilcher is leading u.k.

political journalist peter oborne mr hunt thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera now you have written and spoken widely about how you don't think that julian assange should be sent to to the united states where he faces a sentence of leading up to 175 years for espionage so what do you make then of this decision by the judge requests rejecting that request to delay proceedings well i think there are issues who will be. missed the wish has been treated by the british judiciary but you know the cases already be too late i think i must say coronavirus and. the judge would be saying look let's get on with that so why is it that you oppose the extradition to the u.s. because you do you think it's really innocent it does have questions to answer about his behavior and his actions. i think as you clearly are moved the mass dump of

data which is led to accusations of not got the expertise to say whether they're right or wrong all the senior people in the united states said actually the the wrong you know that the implicate seed agents in his data dump and put them out and into risk but the main and i think he has questions are so i think it's important to acknowledge that but the charges against subscribe me to speak basically of being a spy i think sends you know the 80 charges in connection the espionage act when all he has done i think it's very speaking as a journalist it's extremely important for our professional he's done is to be a journalist sees obtain date said to hate obtain stories revealed really important things about their conduct sort of sovereign governments particularly the united states terrible things can be done by you know states and i think as journalists

we have to stand behind this that our sources say this was an espionage this actually was journalism which he was was doing. and if he gets sense you know states where you were come back from that you'll since then the rest of his life in jail. if he doesn't get sent to the united states that's a message to all journalists that if you conduct your business as journalists you're not going to be able to eat you live to be prosecuted. killen sure will be discussing the case of julian assange in the weeks to come we love to have you back on for that but let's go back and study why not fact. earlier stories about the no deal breck said looking increasingly likely we're mentioning it just before we came to the store you were actually a breakfast supporter then you changed your mind looking at where we are now especially in a year where boston some probably never thought he'd have to deal with something like ovid and now we're literally weeks away from the potential of a no the

a brek said where do you think the johnson government is heading here was very very hard to read so we have a leak in the financial times which is very respected and will have come from government sources that the government wants to tear up the deal it struck with the european union last year the other hand then you have gotten ministers coming on and the knowing it we're seeing i think it's impossible to say what's going on what you have is a british government trying to i think trying to threaten or could jol or to blackmail or. the peons in soup to doing business with a lot of it how much of this is but domestic consumption mr johnson is appealing to you know he's trying to make himself look tough to these u.k. base i continue should i continue to believe that a deal will be struck i hope it will be. there is other worries about the people

and done in suit at the moment there's a very sort of small coterie of leave people and mr johnson appears to be very much influenced by them not listening to british business or basically the british public opinion which wants a deal at the moment u.k. political journalist peter oborne speaking to us from welcher in the u.k. sir thank you pleasure thank you. nearly 300 refugees have been rescued from a beach in indonesia after drifting at sea for 6 months at least 30 people died on the journey from bangladesh those who survived have been moved to a temporary shelter but it's not clear if they'll be allowed to stay in indonesia jessica washington reports from jakarta. after 7 months at sea these children are exhausted and traumatized they survived a dangerous journey to safe in indonesia in provence of onsen nearly $300.00 or hindu refugees disembarked in indonesia but at least those who died on the long
