" yeah. so, i did what any husband or any father would do is, like, "i need to get my family out of here. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. the us government has published a report, compiled by its intelligence services — which accuses saudi arabia's crown prince, mohammed bin salman, of personally approving the operation which led to the murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi. it's the first time the us has officially and openly accused the crown prince who is a key american ally in the middle east.
11:02 pm
saudi arabia has dismissed the american claims as negative, false and unacceptable. nick bryant reports. it was at the saudi consulate in istanbul that jamal khashoggi it was at the saudi consulate in istanbul thatjamal khashoggi met istanbul that jamal khashoggi met his istanbul thatjamal khashoggi met his brutal end. he had been lured there to discuss paperwork for his upcoming wedding. but he was strangled as soon as he emptied the building by a team of saudi assassins who then dismembered his body. the saudi dissident who wrote a comment for the washington post often criticising his countries authoritarian leadership. the motive to silence him. the damning classified intelligence report said saudi arabia is prince the countries de facto leader approved an operation in a sample to capture or kill the saudi journalist. the assessment was based on the crown prince is control of decision—making in the in the kingdom. the direct involvement of the key adviser and members of his protective detail in

11:05 pm
of state had to say. i would say the relationship with saudi arabia is in portland. —— important one. we have significant ongoing interest, we remain committed to the defence of the kingdom. but we also want to make sure, and this is what the president is sent from the outset, that the relationship better reflects our interest in our values. so what we've done by the actions that we taken is really not to rupture the relationship but to recalibrate. agnes callamard is the un special rapporteur on extra judicial killings. she told me she hoped there would be further action taken against crown prince mohammed bin salman. at some level, of course i welcomed the report, i'm glad that the us administration and assessment is that the crown prince authorised the killing of khashoggi.
11:06 pm
i'm glad that the 0di was able to play its role in that democratic institution of the united states were able to play their role. i am disappointed by the lack of material information and evidence included in that report, and i will be very disappointed if there is no action taken having recognise the primary role played by the crown prince. when you say lack of evidence, what would you have liked to have seen in there? well, look, the report is basically an assessment based on circumstantial information. it's mirrors very much along the lines of what i have done in my own investigation as a special reporter. looking at what we know about the kingdom and individuals who perpetrated the killings and,
11:07 pm
you know, the logical inference from a range of information was that the crown prince was heavily implicated. i would have liked to see in that report some more material evidence, meaning information regarding a direct link between the killing and the crown prince rather than this circumstantial assessment that has been provided. so do you think more direct action should be taken against the crown prince then? absolutely. i agree with your colleague earlier, you know, 17 people have been sanctioned for and in relationship to the killing of khashoggi, some of whom did not play as important a role as the crown prince, it is the logical implication of what was released
11:08 pm
today that the crown prince should be sanctioned, his bank account, his assets should be frozen, and in my opinion, he should also be banished from certain international diplomatic circles. i do not see how the administration will be able to escape from the logical steps that must be taken. sorry to interrupt, but very quickly, how can you take those steps and yet continue to ensure that you have a foreign policy that enables stability within the middle east? because this is why there is this relationship between saudi arabia and the us. of course, but why are we assuming that because we have a government that is violating basic human rights ahead of state that is personally
11:09 pm
ordering the killing of a moderate dissidents, why do we see that as being a factor of stability and a good way forward for this strata in the medium turn and a long—term stable relationship demands that phase should be based on mutual respect and understanding of some basic common values. so i do not see any contradiction there. i believe that the more we are partnering with individuals who have blood on their hands, the less we will be able to create a stable environment that everyone is needing. let's leave the final word on this story to the fiancee of jamal khashoggi. hatice cengiz was due to be married to jamal, before he was murdered. since the us intelligence report was declassified, she has simply tweeted this picture of him — with the hashtag, justice—for—jamal.

of the next pope, benedict xvi will, in his own words, be hidden from the world for the rest of his life. this is bbc news, the latest headlines... a declassified us intelligence report says that the saudi crown prince approved and likely ordered the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the crown prince denies the accusation. security forces in nigeria are searching for more than three hundred girls who were abducted from a school — the second such kidnapping in just over a week. there's further evidence — thanks to a study of healthcare workers in the uk — that coronaviruss vaccines may help prevent the spread of coronavirus as well as protecting
11:16 pm
a as well as protecting study of health care workers i cambridge a study of health care workers in cambridge in the united kingdom has found that a single dose of the pfizer vaccine dramatically cuts the risk of getting the virus without symptoms. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. like thousands of health care workers in cambridge, daniella does a weekly swab test for coronavirus before she goes to work at addenbrooke's hospital. it will show whether she could be carrying the virus without displaying symptoms. that swab is analysed at these university labs, where they compared the results from staff like daniella who'd received the pfizer vaccine with those yet to be immunised. in early data, they found that two weeks after the first dose, the risk of asymptomatic infection — carrying the virus without knowing it — was reduced by 75%. an england—wide study of health workers found a similar protective effect. this is a genuine good news story. people should be really pleased
11:17 pm
that the vaccine will protect them and they should have the vaccine in order to prevent themselves and others from getting infected. i think it will help us get out of lockdown, help other countries get out of lockdown and it will allow us to get back to normal. hi, laura. can i check your blood pressure? daniella is a nursing apprentice at addenbrooke's. nearly nine in ten staff here have had their first dose of vaccine — important, as it reduces their chance of getting infected and may protect patients. it makes me feel very happy knowing that i will not pass the virus to anyone around me. it's very reassuring. very reassuring. it was one of the big unknowns — can vaccines help slow transmission of coronavirus? the study here adds to growing evidence that they do. that has huge implications. it suggests vaccination benefits
11:18 pm
notjust the individual but the wider community. it's vital people have both doses of vaccine. but while highly effective, they don't offer 100% protection from catching coronavirus or passing it on. so while infection rates remain high, social distancing will continue to be important. fergus walsh, bbc news. in the us, a committee of experts has recommended that thejohnson and johnson covid jab be authorised for use. trials suggest the single shotjab is more than 85% effective in preventing severe covid disease. if the fda does approve it tomorrow it will be the third coronavirus vaccine brought into use in the us. dr. tom frieden is president and ceo of resolve to save lives. he has welcomed the reccomendation, but he says it only matters if people accept an approved vaccine
11:19 pm
when it's offered to them. what we are finding is that not only is there really good immunity after infection but many different approaches to vaccine development are working really well and that's very good. but we need to do much better in the us reaching historically underrepresented, underserved populations and globally ramping up vaccination in countries that don't yet have access. it's too soon to say with the new variants are going to do. trends are a little puzzling. we had weather events that can delay diagnosis and result in some changes or shifts in when patients are diagnosed. but really, we do want to vaccinate as rapidly as possible. we also have to double down on protection protocols. mask up and limit the time you spent indoors with people who are not in your household. but overall, i think the news is really quite good.
11:20 pm
we are seeing very steady declines in cases and the fundamental question that is in the balance now is will there be a fourth surge in the us? and the answer to that question lies in what we do. do we mask up, do we distance and do we prevent this from happening? the uk's supreme court has ruled that shamima begum — the woman who left britain as a teenager tojoin the islamic state group in syria — should not be allowed to return to challenge the removal of her british citizenship. the 21 year old is currently stuck in a camp in northern syria. daniel sandford reports. shamima! injeans and a sun hat, shamima begum, last summer in the al—roj camp in northern syria, where she remains to this day. the home secretary has stripped her of her british citizenship for running away to become an islamic state fighter�*s bride aged just 15. at the supreme court, her lawyers had argued that she must
11:21 pm
be allowed to come back to the uk to fight that decision in a fair court hearing. but today, the court unanimously ruled against her, saying her case should simply be postponed — national security comes first. the right to a fair hearing does not trump all other considerations, such as the safety of the public. the supreme courtjustices said parliament had given the home secretary the difficult task of making decisions around national security in cases like this. 0verturning the court of appeal, they said that that court had not given the home secretary's assessment the respect it deserved. shamima begum and two school friends, both now believed to be dead, left london aged just 15 to join the islamic state group in syria. there, she married a foreign fighter and had three children, all of whom have now died. when is�* rule collapsed two years ago, she reappeared, asking to be allowed home to britain. ijust want forgiveness,
11:22 pm
really, from the uk. like, everything i've been through, i didn't expect that i would go through that. richard walton, who was head of scotland yard's counter terrorism command, had tried to stop shamima begum and herfriends getting to syria, told me this afternoon the court had made the right decision. i if she'd been allowed to returnl to the uk by the supreme court, she would probably have been - arrested by the counter terrorism command and probably charged with terrorist offences. - but the evidence against her would likely have been weak owing - to the difficulties of securing evidence in war zones. - and when released, she would have presented an ongoing threat - and would have needed to be subject to the most rigorous monitoring - whilst in the country, _ hundreds of thousands of pounds over months and years. but civil liberties group says the decision hollows out a cornerstone of british justice and means we may never hear from shamima begum her explanation of what happened. why was a 15—year—old girl able to go and travel to syria? was she trafficked? was she groomed?
11:23 pm
those are questions that we still don't have answers to and we can't have answers to unless she can participate properly in her appeal and give her side of the story. there seems no prospect of that for now and shamima begum will remain in al—roj camp in legal limbo. a un special rapporteur has said that britain was on the list of shame of countries who strip people of their citizenship. daniel sandford, bbc news. britain's prince harry says he felt forced to step back from his duties with the royal family because press coverage was damaging his mental health. he's been speaking with the chat show hostjames corden, on a us television show — and our royal correspondent daneila relph was watching. here we are. this is very nice. the first time at the isn't really? in the la sunshine from the top deck of the la sunshine from the top deck of the tourist bus prince harry opened
