died of metal pellet wounds on monday in these family and friends gave him a traditional for will with andy and music downloads and tears this over. the net is my nephew doesn't deserve to be there. lying in a coffin, he was a young student working to pay for his studies. we are in terrible pain. he died defending the nation. the attorney general has opened a preliminary investigation against him and will maybe know his former cabinet chief and interior minister for homicide. and force disappearance and abuse of power. well, i can assure you that these deaths will not go unpunished. so i guess this election may begin to defuse a week of political upheaval. a precedent was impeached, and another ousted after only 5 days in office. however, it is not guaranteed to be the end of the political crisis. they do has a new government, a none of its members have

a criminal investigations pending. but these protests and the millions of their sympathizers at home. now know they can fight the political class and to win mcguinness on just to police in thailand, have used water cannons and anti-government demonstrators. in bangkok is a live shots from the capital protests calling for the resignation of prime minister but been ongoing since july. the demonstrators say that he and the constitution drafted under military rule, are illegitimate, and also demanding reform to the monarchy. supporters of thailand's royal family held a rally, backing the king. hundreds of royalists marched to parliament in bangkok, demanding the preservation of the mosques, while they will yellow shirts to symbolize devotion to the king. america's top diplomat is in turkey as part of a 10 day tour of the middle east and europe, but notably might compel. you won't be meeting with turkish politicians or

officials. he's spending the day meeting religious leaders in istanbul of payors also set to visit georgia, israel, and a number of gulf countries. let's go live now to istanbul, and a serious sin and cos the only who is there some us more about what mark pompei o is doing this, and well, he ever arrived in istanbul yesterday, but we have to underline, but this isn't a diplomatic visit, a bilateral visit he preferred to meet with the ecumenical bazza limo in istanbul right behind me and he will be visiting me in the restaurant. most of that has been recent. there is a restart in close by and he will be meeting with the a messenger of the american consulate. in istanbul, he's expected to step out right now, but before his visit to the war,

the main focus is on focuses on religious freedoms, minorities rights and trade good. which was actually seen as a disk with his a, for a visit by the turkish officials, by the turkish foreign ministry. but he's not definite that he's not meeting with the turkish officials. neither in istanbul, nor in ontario. why is the meeting with any senior turkish official today? as for what discipline pils office have said so far, his schedule in istanbul is a packed schedule. he has some visits and he has to move to the other countries that are listed in his 10 day tour. this is why mr. compel requested to visit, meet with president are gone, and presidents are gone, and istanbul but presents are done. refuse that also he wanted to meet with his turkish counterpart, maybe churchill, in a stumble as well. but the foreign minister also rejected this claim because of her

out. this is the, this is, this is, this is the 2nd visit by mr. compare the on the visit he paints so far, was one with he paid last year in $2900.00 during peace bring operation with the vice president mike pence. and for ancora, mr. cuomo is known to be a little bit. this isn't too turkey's policies, especially when it comes to turkey's military presence in syria, the fight against the kurdish fighters group, y p g. the military presence in libya and turkey's efforts to find oil and gas reserves in the eastern mediterranean as a coastal country, or have repeated raised concerns about the recent tension in this the mediterranean . that's why the turkish officials believe that since he's already leaving the office soon, and he's not willing to meet the turkish officials in the capital ankara as of atic precedence required no need to meet. and this is what we have heard from the

turkish foreign ministry sources so far. but also some circles claim that mr. pompeo is just preparing for, for a, for the upcoming, for the mechs of actions that, that is going to take place in united states. and the reason why he's meeting with the religious leaders in istanbul is a way to see bolt from the evangelists community in the united states. this is also another perspective in the turkish capital at green jobs or sort of course, he'll be reporting live from istanbul. many thanks with president trump facing the end of his administration, his team is looking to seal some final foreign policy victories. one of these is a diplomatic push to resolve the blockade of council. under schapelle reports, the secretary of state is back in the region to drum up support for normalization deals between israel and some arab states, increase pressure on iran and make some headway in talks to end the blockade of

cattle. like pompei it was doing doha and riyadh in the days ahead. this is u.s. cattery and saudi officials have signaled in recent weeks that a breakthrough may be near. on monday, u.s. national security adviser, robert o'brian added to speculation, telling the global security forum hosted in part by katter, that an air bridge may be on the table, allowing qatar airways to fly over saudi and bahraini airspace. so we'd like to get that repsol measure color air had, was it because it was able to fly over saudi air space or bahrain airspace is an important 1st step in solving that ref. i'd like to see that get done before it. if we end up leaving office, qatar's foreign minister says the blockade which has dragged into a 4th year has no winner. everyone is losing. we are hopeful that this i think, moment and what we need to lie now is to have a serious engagement in

a good faith with the other countries. and this is what i thought i was prepared to do. i mean nothing. so it is accused of supporting terrorism, which they say that anybody who talks to anybody in the muslim brotherhood or allows free elections was hooked up to iran. and the saudis number that is really have discredited themselves quite a bit. and it's surprising that they haven't found a face saving way to end this blockade, but let's hope this, this maybe it, the u.a.e. may be a spoiler for any proposed agreement. as a brian was speaking of a resolution to the gulf crisis being a priority for the trumpet ministration. the us ambassador to washington was saying otherwise. well, look at that rift. i don't think it's going to get resolved anytime soon. it's a small problem, it's not really being addressed, not on anyone's, you know, priority list right now. but the u.a.e. and other blockading countries are under pressure. the u.s.

thinks better relations between the gulf countries will help its policy of isolating iran. and they face accusations by un special rapporteur to work that the measures imposed on cats are, are a violation of fundamental rights aimed at limiting freedom of expression, movement and trade. and, or chapell al-jazeera. we're going to weather a tape next here on al-jazeera, then banking on a vaccine. we'll look at how europe's biggest economies are reacting to promising data from the u.s. . powerful atlantic storm. this here hits central america aid agencies describing catastrophic damage. but how i will, i'm pleased to say we have got signs that dry weather now coming in across northern parts of the philippines and also into parts of vietnam, but still some showers around central as of the philippines. seeing over

troops withdrawn by the end of the year, which military and diplomatic advisors opposed, and the number of personnel in iraq is set to come down as well to a similar level. trump has expressed frustration with the continued troop presence in was a. well, the decision has prompted an angry pushback by some senior members of trump's republican party. a rapid withdrawal of u.s. forces from afghanistan now would hurt our allies and the light, the light. the people who wish us harm violence of fucking afghans are still rampant. the taliban is not about and by the conditions of the so-called peace deal, the consequences of a premature american exit would likely be even worse than president obama's withdrawal from iraq back in 2011, which fueled the rot of isis and a new round of global terrorism. the trumpet ministration is also reportedly
