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 although you know every technical part of the trial almost 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 cut 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 their 2 official g. sounds met 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 hit squad coming from. than his inner circle though he denies involvement the u.n. experts who investigated murder said in a series of tweets the saudi prosecutor performed one more today in this parody of

justice but these verdicts carry no legal or moral legitimacy she went on to say that crown prince mohammed bin solomon remained well protected against any meaningful scrutiny in his country and that the verdicts can't be allowed to whitewash what happened the saudi prosecutor says this causes the case both privately and publicly many though say justice for his shoghi has not been served brian al jazeera. now the european union is calling on bell arista needed to release more than 600 people who have been detained for protesting on sunday it's also condemning the disappearance of a prominent opposition activist maria kolesnikov is missing after being snatched off the street by masked men and taken away in a van in the center of the capital minsk she is one of the 3 women who joined forces before last month's disputed presidential elections to challenge alexander lukashenko and she is the only one who hasn't fled batterers this is completely

unacceptable to you it was very very clear in our statements that to be considered the actions of the authorities in belarus unacceptable we are deeply concerned about the continued repression and intimidation of the population by unexplained our wrists very often arbitrarily our roasts our wrists of our wrists which are motivated politically this is unacceptable we call on all people who have been detained based on political reasons and arbitrarily to be deterred to be released immediately our correspondent bennett smith is monitoring all the developments from neighboring if you're any. maria kolesnik over was one of the last remaining main opposition activists still at liberty it seems until earlier on monday when witnesses witnesses described seeing being bundled into a van by masked man she dropped the phone they say skulk woman was picked up by one of these men as they drugged or all and drove away now maria tell us nico that knew

the risks you've spoken of the risks of what would happen by standing above the crowd and speaking out against. his decisions the victory and the oldest 9 disputed elections she herself formed with colleagues at political party only last week called together to help push for those new elections so it will come as no surprise really perhaps to her and her friends that she seems to have been taken out of circulation for the moment leanest that could be serious he said that the waiting is foreign minister here in the us he has said that what is happening is that the outgoing leadership in belarus us are described solution his government is cynically eliminating the opposition warm by warm and he says what is happening is reminiscent of the stalinist secret police one of our i got cept as another one of those 3 women who spearheaded that opposition campaign she's currently in exile in

poland and told al-jazeera it's a typical tactic i think the tank is regime to try to intimidate us as a pangs. country in belarus you know it's normal it's not normal but you know good sense but it's normal when the people get in without any explanations for you she will be released as soon as possible because i really worry about her and you know in belarus the entire nation became leader so it's so you see the leaders we see the leaders everywhere now in the streets in the students in the universities in their effect theories in the player plans look at include you works this way everything and they see a leader and they would like to isolate this this leader from the people from the ship and this is so-called as i said it's normal are in a snob what are hopefully a location will not be able to be 9500000 people or 4 bureaus because there is simply they will not be in a space in the prisons. now britain's foreign minister has summoned the russian

ambassador to the u.k. over the poisoning of opposition leader alexina valmy call that unacceptable that a banned chemical weapon had been used in the valley has been brought out now of a medically induced coma and doctors in berlin where he's being treated say he's been responsive german experts say he was poisoned with one of the now they didn't family novacek before a domestic flight in russia last month on the belize fellow opposition politician your above sub has released a video message calling for a criminal investigation in russia in the one they fall for war i see no valley fell into a coma in russia and he's citizen of russia so the authorities should investigate in russia why he fell into a coma and who poisoned him not just because angela merkel demanded this or sanctions can be imposed but because it was an attempt to kill a politician in russia it is very upsetting for our country that that obvious truths need to be spoken aloud and repeated but i will repeat and demand an investigation takes place into the attempted murder of

a public figure so we can officially name those who poisoned the valley with. well the u.s. president is still still trailing his democratic rival in the polls as the traditional labor day starts a campaign in kicks off donald trump's campaign has been focused on law and order and economic recovery from the damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic while joe biden is challenging trump's handling of the pandemic and rising unemployment the president's worries are predicted to continue with the release of a tell all book by his film the lawyer michael cohen in the coming hours in that book cohen alleges that donald trump described nelson mandela as a poor leader who ruined a south africa and said that no black leader can run a country the mandela foundation has responded calling arrogant and uninformed michael cohen is currently serving a 3 year sentence for lying to congress and financial offenses well let's get more now with rosen and jordan who joins us live from alexandria virginia quite the shop response there from the mandela foundation and i expect even more fallout on

a number of fronts as this book is released on tuesday. well it's not surprising that the mandela foundation would fire back at donald trump but it's also not surprising that yet another person who was close to the president is alleging that the man harbors racist sentiment michael cohen apparently also has written in his memoir that donald trump was so incensed by the election of barack obama that he actually had a lookalike hired to play the president so that trouble could routinely borate him and then tell him that he was quote fired and he has released a photo from his memoir showing this apparent interaction between donald trump and the actor playing the former u.s. president and so the president is probably going to find himself having to answer more questions about his views of africans and african-americans as he's

heading into the last 56 or so days of the general campaign here in the united states own runs as we were saying today is traditionally a fast day of campaigning but this isn't your average election yet biden still ahead and he's trying to defend his lead. that's right the president did call love what he said was a press conference but in fact was just another event using the white house as a campaign style props where he talked about his what his campaign what is it ministration i should say is doing to try to end the covert 19 pandemic and he suggested that there could be an october surprise trying to make certain that there is a vaccine available to deal with that 19 something that is sensibly could get more people to vote for donald trump on november 3rd well earlier in the day while he

was on the campaign trail joe biden the former vice president criticized what he said was donald trump's efforts to. a little sighs the search for an effective vaccine here some of what the former vice president had to say on the right. thanks for that. one of the problems we find with. anything. for it if you have really got. going on the mining. now we are going to see donald trump out on the campaign trail traveling on tuesday and the grill question is going to be whether he can close the gap in the number of polls taken of registered and likely voters here in the u.s. because right now these polls have joe biden the democratic challenger ahead of

trouble by anywhere from 4 points to a love and points obviously the democrats would like to keep that lloyd as wide as possible billing into november 3rd but as someone who has covered many presidential campaigns i can tell you that the only poll that matters is the one that happens on election day. after aurora and the campaigning for us from alexandria virginia thanks frank. well still ahead here on out there survivors demand to know if the manchester arena bombing could have been prevented. and the cry to virus pandemic pushes ecuador to the brink of economic growth and find out why and economists say maybe little the government can do.

heart of this process is could those deaths have been prevented. if i conclude on the evidence that things went wrong then i should say so but we are not looking for scapegoats we are searching for the truth the bomber was salman a baby his rucksack of explosives and shrapnel exploding as the audience emerged from a pop concert by ariana grande a baby was on the radar of the security service m i 5 yet had been able to return from libya on challenge just days before the bombing and my 5 targeting will be examined understanding those press processes and questioning those private processes to see whether they are actually fit for purpose is going to be a key part an important part of this inquiry the security services evidence will likely be heard in secret inquiries loyalist of a number of other chances to intervene. among the potential opportunities to stop

a baby's attack one witness for example raise the alarm 32 minutes before the bomb went off with a passing policewoman and 17 minutes before the explosion another witness called mr a raised his concerns about a baby's behavior to one of the arenas security staff but at no point was security control informed the inquiry has a wide ranging remit and could prove deeply uncomfortable for the authorities and deeply upsetting for the families but the inquiry lawyer has promised relatives he will leave no stone unturned brennan al-jazeera manchester well the main suspect in the 2017 new year's day attack on a turkish nightclub has been sentenced to life in prison. than it was back national was handed the equivalent of 40 life sentences without parole 39 people were killed dozens were injured when he opened fire at the rain a club in istanbul a sorry 5 initially said he acted on behalf of eisel but has since said his
