10:03 am
saudi arabia facing a measure of international isolation at the next g. 20 meeting in argentina world leaders kept their distance from mohammed bin salman . in the u.s. the trumpet ministration resisted calls to confront saudi arabia citing the value of arms sales and the importance of support in confronting iran and refused to take action against mohammed bin salman. joe biden promised if he won the election he would recalibrate relations with riyadh but again his white house want to take action against mohammed been summoned directly so what we've done by the actions that we've taken. is really not to rupture the relationship but to recalibrate it. to be more in line with our interests and our values and i think that we have to. understand as well that this is this is bigger than any one person the u.s. is also knows what it calls the coup should you ban imposing visa restrictions on
10:04 am
76 saudis not just those involved in the killing but others who have been involved in threatening dissidents overseas so has this missed the report calling it negative false and unacceptable the release of this report is an extraordinary rebuke to a man anointed as the next leader of a close u.s. ally but the biden white house will come under increasing pressure from democrats to take direct action against mohammed bin selman because they see his the nile's of any involvement in the murder of jamal khashoggi simply are not credible alan fischer al-jazeera washington. murder of course which happened in istanbul and that's where we'll talk to sin and cos you're not seen any reaction from the turks . welcome all actually the report is mainly. complementing what the turkish ship or suggests of just after the
10:05 am
killing as far as i have learned from the security sources majority of the information a use for this cia report was actually the evidence and other information provided by the turkish police circus intelligence and some bullshit prosecutor's office of course that's why this wasn't a shock for turkish officials or for turkish people who have been following this case since the incident happened in back in 2000. just 3 years ago so it wasn't a shock but there is something there's a little bit surprising for the troops we haven't heard it from the office but we have been reading these news reports biden's preference not to sanction mohamed in some man is actually a surprise for the turks because probably as the world was waiting for this report
10:06 am
the turkish side was also expecting such an action from the u.s. administration. because the u.s. administration has shown a tough stance against all those women rights issues then a policy change in the in the middle east but of course i spoke to some. some some circles close to the government in the morning and they told me that this is actually a kind of unsuccess for the by the government for it because if he if he had the situation to sanction mohamed and some of that will be a more solid message to everywhere including the middle east sim turkish saudi relations obviously strained by this whole affair i mean do they even exist these days. well yes the bilateral relations still exist. especially when this killing happened turkish president never resided mohammad man's name i have been saying that since yesterday and during our
10:07 am
report spec then he always pointed out to mohammad princella munda crown prince by saying that this killing could have never have happened without the ordering of someone from from the way a top position in the voile kingdom and he made all his talks with king solomon so turkey was aware of that but the relations were tense already did that's why we had the chance to have these voice recordings apparent that there was a tension before the why there were some bugs thought to be installed by the turkish intelligence inside the saudi consulate and this is how we heard about the incidents this is incident this is how we heard about how they killed him after shuji how they planned this their talks before the killing their talks after the killing when when you bring all those information together yes there was a tense tension even before that and after this incident took it took
10:08 am
a very hard stance against saudi arabia but the saudis were turkish goods and there is a very strong political and economic ties between turkey and saudi arabia but when you look at just 2020 december turkish exports to saudi arabia the numbers are dramatically declining so the saudis are still actually campaigning against the turkish goods so it's still fragile simcoe sulu in istanbul thank you for that let's hear from richard chance you know who's a professor professorial lecture at the department of political science at george washington university he says the white house is aware it needs to tread lightly in its next steps with saudi arabia. you know the alliance game is a is a difficult game and in the case of the united states and saudi arabia you had confrontation over the coup shows the killing of human rights violations in yemen. what joe biden has to do is balance national interests of the united states in the
10:09 am
region that includes threats from iran primarily so that the saudis and the israelis are key players even though they're not of fish and we allies they've been working together for many years because their national interests coincide in terms of of what's to unfold here never remember in international relations issue areas are related and the other thing that president biden has to deal with which is intrinsically found up with this is the new iteration of the joint comprehensive plan of action and if you trends to happily it's conceivable that the israelis and the saudis might present the bite ministration with some very hard to achieve demands with regards to how the americans will be engaging the arabians in this new iteration of the iranian agreement on to other news and mammals ambassador to the

10:14 am
were firing tear gas flash bangs into the crowd the crowds be pretty good at scattering reforming elsewhere and as i understand there's still skirmishes going on in the streets of yangon the same thing is happening in mandalay where roadblocks have been put up in the town of money you are which is quite close to mandalay there's footage emerging of a female protester being detained and beaten by planes clothes police and that seems to be a pattern submerging to many more taking place now in fact the security services seem to be identifying not just the protesters but those people who are there to support them trying to shut down 1st aid responders medics who are in place for the injured but also journalists a fairly large number of journalists seem to be amongst those detained today so whatever pressure is coming from outside the country the security services inside seem to be tightening up their crackdown thank you for those updates tony chain in
