4:01 am
shove the padlocked gates open. >> we're not criminals. we come here because we want to work. >> donald trump is the anti-christ, this man says. if he doesn't repent, he's going to hell. we are not criminals. good morning to everyone on this saturday, i'm leyla santiago. i'm in for christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. glad to be back with you. top story this hour, after 17 days of denials, officials say that jamal khashoggi died in the istanbul consulate after an escalation that turned into a fist fight. >> and a saudi account calling it utter b.s., from the "washington post." the 18 saudis taken into custody. five officials in the crown
4:02 am
prince's inner circle were removed from their posts. we have a team of reporters across the globe gathering the latest on this story which has been developing every day. we begin with sam kiley in the saudi capital of riyadh. the saudis quick plead an arrest. they removed some pretty big figures from power. what are we hearing now? >> reporter: well, they've made 18 people taken into detention, not yet fully charged or arrested. and they've moved rapidly to purge the royal court and the intelligence sources, key characters. we're not sure if the 18 detained are the same or include the 15 named as people of interest by the turkish authorities. we don't have any names on them. we have names close to the crown
4:03 am
prince. first is ahmed ala siri, deputy head of intelligence, he had been the spokesman for the saudis in the coalition in the war against yemen. of course, a war essentially driven by mohammed bin salman, crown prince. very close member of the crown prince's entourage. and a closer character in terms of his relationship with the main power, that's saud saud alkhatani. a senior consultant, head of media for the crown prince. senior media adviser in charge of polishing the crown prince's image abroad with his visit to hollywood, to elsewhere around the world trying to sell his whole vision of what they call 2 2030 here. that's going to be badly tarnished obviously by the events that unfolded in istanbul, which the saudis finally admit were the result of actions by saudi citizens. albeit, they insist, without the
4:04 am
knowledge of the crown prince. the crown prince, in fact, now being put in charge of a -- a referring committee that will -- reforming committee that the investigation and completely restructure the nation's intelligence services because another three major figures within the intelligence services have also been fired. >> sam kiley breaking down the latest developments. thank you very much. turkish officials have said that jamal khashoggi died within hours of entering the consulate in istanbul. a lot of that was based on reported audio recordings from inside the building. diplomatic correspondent nic robertson with us. how is this investigation into khashoggi's death -- it's complicating a lot of relationships, but specifically the one between turkey and the saudi arabia? >> reporter: yeah. look, both countries want to have influence in the region. right now turkey is on the outs
4:05 am
with the united states for a number of issues. syria is one of them. iran is another one. and its rip -- its rip w russia is another. andal -- its relationship with russia is another. and from turkey's speck, it's not perhaps standing where it would want to be in its relationship with the united states. i think what we're hearing in the last few minutes from a spokesman from the president's party which is really the first official line and first official reaction here in turkey to the saudi statement is quite clear. you know, it's -- it's diplomat nick a way, that it says, for example, you know, we are not preemptively blaming anyone. but it goes on to say we'll not allow this issue to remain in the dark. he said no one should be in any doubt that they want to push this into the light. he said no one should be in any doubt that we will be moving forward with our investigation.
4:06 am
it's a matter of honor for us that we uncover all the details in this. so what we're hearing from the turkish government here is sort of if you will, okay, we've heard what you have said, this is our position, and as the turks have done all along here, which is really expect the usdaets to say more -- the us saudis to say more, do more, we're learning koopgcooperation not particularly deep. turkey trying to push saudi arabia saying you're not done yet, put all the fact out there. they're not out there. we'll continue to push and get them out. that's i think turkey's position, a diplomatic what you've said isn't enough. >> nic robertson for us in istanbul. thank you. the white house seems receptive to the latest account of what happened to jamal khashoggi. the aboutface from the saudis is being viewed with some strep
4:07 am
simple by some -- skepticism by some lawmakers. we turn to sarah westwood at the white house. sarah, we heard nic talk about the skepticism. president trump, though, signaling that he believes what the saudis are saying. >> reporter: that's right. president trump was quick to accept that explanation from the saudis about what happened to jamal khashoggi even though both republicans and democrats are expressing the deep skepticism that saudis are telling the truth here. saudi leaders are saying they knew nothing about khashoggi's fate, and he similarly elevated the saudi party line last night when he said that these arrests represent an important first step for saudi arabia and said that their latest explanation sounds credible to him. take a listen. >> i do, i do. i mean, it's, again, it's early. we haven't finished our review or nefrinvestigation.
4:08 am
buff i think it's a very important first step and happened sooner than people thought it would happen. >> reporter: that was the president speaking yesterday in arizona. and the president's acceptance of the saudis' latest statement has been raising eyebrows because it comes after saudi leaders first insisted that jamal khashoggi had left the consulate unharmed. then denying that saudi officials knew anything about khashoggi's fate. and finally now, saudi leaders are acknowledging that khashoggi's dead but claiming it's the result of an accident. so this shifting story has prompted a lot of doubt from lawmakers in both parties. for example, senator richard blum tall claiming this -- blumenthal claiming this is an attempt to by time. and lindsey graham, a top republican ally of the president's, said, "i am skeptical of the new saudi narrative of what happened to mr. khashoggi is an understatement. mr. trump is likely to come under increasing pressure from capitol hill to impose the
4:09 am
severe punishments he a week ago threatened to slap on saudi arabia if it turns out that khashoggi was, in fact, murdered. leyla and victor. >> sarah westwood, a lot of back and forth. thank you very much. let's talk with cnn contributor walter schwab and cnn political analyst, congressional reporter for the "washington post." good to have you back. walter, let me start here with the tweet from karen tia, she is -- was jamal khashoggi's editor there at the "washington post." she tweeted out after the saudis leased their statement -- released their statement, khashoggi was a 60-year-old man. what sort of equal fight would he have had against 15 other men, and who brings a bone saw to a discussion? the stupid of the saudi explanation is mind-boggling. the president when asked said that he finds the explanation credible. more than just the chronology and the improbability of it. what is the message the president is sending to the world? >> that's the right question
4:10 am
because it's disturbing enough when authoritarian regimes around the world issue preposterous explanations like the one saudi arabia has done here. back up that's much more troubling when our own president participates in the cover-up of the murders of a virginia resident, a permanent resident of the united states when wrote for one of our top newspapers in our country and was likely killed because of what he wrote in the newspaper and elsewhere. it's deeply troubling. in saner times congress would have immediately launched hearings to find out how are the president's conflicts of interest and jared kushner's conflicts of interest influencing their participation of the cover-up because their behavior is very strange. >> let me talk about congress in a second. first i want to talk about the subtle but i think important difference between what we heard from the president and the official statement from the white house that sarah sanders tweeted out yesterday. the white house with the statement acknowledged the
4:11 am
explanation from the saudis. the president says that he believes it's credible. i wonder if the president took a step further than maybe official white house, although it's his white house, wanted him to. what do you make of the difference between acknowledgment, although the language in the statement was lukewarm and no condemnation, and the president saying, yeah, it's a good first step, and i find it credible? >> i mean, there's a huge qualitative difference there when you're talking about the reaction of the united states mattering a lot in this instance. look, it's not the first time the president has gone further than what his administration's official position is, acknowledging is saying we heard you it doesn't believe that's good enough, but we heard you. whereas the president saying it's credible shows he's leaning toward wanting to believe the explanation coming from the saudi crown prince because he's in a situation where -- saudi arabia has always been an ally of the united states, but president trump tried to make them an extremely, stream leap close ally.
4:12 am
he's -- extremely close ally. he's moved away from iran and in part to erase the obama legacy of the iran deal but that's his choice, and he tends to gravitate and have a more sympathetic approach to these strong men leaders than his pled czyzors and those -- predecessors and those around him. he didn't come out early and say, look, this is a shocking, horrifying situation, we're going to get the facts and not make a judgment until we've had a full investigation. he didn't that dao that right off the -- didn't do that right off the bat. now everything can be seen in the light of are we going to have an international investigation or u.s.-directed one, or will he take the word of the saudi government which has an incentive to cover something up if there's something to cover up. and the fact that you're not hearing any members of the gop in congress pipe up to say -- or any leading members of the gop i should say pipe up to say, yes, we agree with you, mr. president, shows that this is going to be a point of tension and people are not going to be satisfied or find it as credible as trump does.
4:13 am
>> let's explore that and the domestic political element. we're 17 days out from the midterm election, and everything is seen through the prism as we get closer to november 6th. does this conflict within the party? we heard from bob corker, from lindsey graham saying it doesn't carry water, it's less than credible, and other republicans on the saudi statement. does that conflict with the president cause a big enough problem that it could interrupt or disturb the president's narrative of immigration, the economy, going down to the wire at the election? >> potentially, right. i mean, this -- this is a president who is good at unforced errors when it comes to expressing his gut reaction to things that are not going to play as well for him as if he just stuck to the script about pointing out the things that have gone well under his administration. the economic numbers are great. the immigration issue is very controversial across the nation but seems to play well with his base. usually it's things regarding
4:14 am
the russia probe that he steps into and causes issues, and you could argue about whether that plays well for him or not. in this sways, there is no -- in this case, there is no situation of it's good to have an american president -- even the people that are not speaking favorably of jamal khashoggi are not saying that that sort of thing is okay or good. for the president to seem like he's siding with the saudis over the skepticism of the americans, i don't see how that's a win for him that can play out on the campaign trail. >> to the important question here is why. why is the president again siding with a foreign government instead of, according to sources who speak with cnn the intelligence community in the u.s.? you have to ask the question of potential conflict. the president says, his sons say that they run the organization that they have no deals, no business with the saudis love the president as a candidate bragged about selling apartments
4:15 am
for tens of millions of dollars to the saudis. there could be a disclosure here. the president could take a step to clear up any potential conflicts of interest. but for the last two years-plus, he's been reluctant to do so. >> remember that the original sin of the administration is that the president broke with the tradition of presidents divesting their conflicting financial interests. and then he went about promoting his properties with all of these trips to them. and now we've also got the situation where he's not disclosing really what his interests are. the financial disclosure firm doesn't tell you who has business partners are or who his businesses owe money or what deals he's got in the works. so all we know is that he has said inconsistent things about it. and the burden of proof is on him because he chose to break with the tradition and keep those conflicts of interest. but this congress has been complicit in allowing him to not answer questions and not pursue
4:16 am
the issue. he doesn't get any benefit of the doubt, especially not when he's clearly been trying to monetize the presidency for two years. i think this is a burning question and, sadly, it's not on the top of everyone's list because congress and the president have done a good job of not making an issue out of it. if it had been his rival who won the election, we would have had hearing after hearing after hearing over her nonprofit charity. but nothing so far on his for-profit businesses. >> yeah. still a lot of questions when we think back to the president saying about how much he loved the saudis and talking about selling those apartments during the campaign and now the family saying we have no deals, no -- no connection to the saudis there. walter schwab, karen demersion, thank you both. it is a long, very long journey for thousands of migrants just to get here. now, they are caught between two worlds. one they say they can't go back to, and another one that isn't necessarily welcoming them. plus, there's no winner for

[ shouting ] after a half hour of chaos, the crowd calms itself, even turning on the future troublemakers in the crowd, convincing them to climb back down off the fence. some can't take the heat, and the crowd, so they jump into the river. >> we're not criminals. we come here because wye want to work. we need better.

coming, and he's separated families who try to come. "what should we do now then," she says, breaking down. there's though way you can go back home? "i don't want my kids in the middle of crime. i don't want the lives of my children further destroyed." mexico has taken the rare step of calling on the united nations to help sort this crisis. but this standoff makes clear that for most of these folks, there is no turning back. bill weir, cnn, mexico. lets to break down there. here's the thing -- at meetings, rallies, and tweets, president trump is taking aim at this migrant caravan that is making its way north. >> these are some bad people coming through. these aren't babies. these aren't little angels coming into our country. these some hardened criminals coming in. and we're not letting them in.
4:25 am
>> that is president trump's take. obviously this is a very, very complicated issue. so let's talk about this caravan. it actually started here in honduras. that's where they started days ago. they walked into guatemala, into the area, made their way to where they are right now, that is tapachula. they are heading north if they can get into mexico. here's the thing -- this is not the first of its kind. care veins of migrant -- cara n caravans of migrants form for safety. these are sometimes annual events with religious roots. not a new thing. what is few new -- what is new is president trump anticipation attention to them. i joined a caravan in april as they moved along. they, too, were at the center of president trump's tweets. we introduced you to a mother who told us gangs threatened her son and his life, a 4-year-old.
4:26 am
we introduced you to a teen who showed the gunshot wounds on his body, scarred from gang violence. we followed them to the port of entry in san diego where they turned themselves in and -- and were asking for asylum. that is the legal way to do so. human rights advocates working with this caravan tell us that these migrants plan to seek asylum, too, just like they did a few weeks ago. but poverty and violence are not guaranteed factors for asylum. in fact, migrants from guatemala, honduras, el salvador, they have among the highest denial rates when it comes to asylum in the united states. but odds for asylum ump, barriers in mexico, threats from president trump, don't seem to be enough to turn them around. at least for now. >> thank you. still to come, no winner in last night's mega millions lottery. it just takes another couple of bucks and a dream. ♪

4:33 am
worth for a few thousand to up to $1 million. so that is something that according to texas -- to lottery officials there are many who don't claim that because they focus on that. the answer, how could the number get so high. remember october of last year, mega millions, basically changed their odds, changed the rules to make the payoffs fewer and farther between. so what's happening now is fewer people are winning the jackpot. of course, that usually means people are interested once it makes -- once the jackpot goes beyond the $500 mark. that is perhaps one of the reasons why the number has gotten so high. again, look at your tickets, look at the -- the numbers. make sure that those aren't second tier. we should mention that four of those second-tier tickets were here in new york. but likely not going to be our pool. again, worry not, spirit of optimism, it is still alive.

that escalated into a fist fight. a saudi source claims he died after being placed in a choke hold. so to talk about this, let's go ahead and bring in joseph borelli. >> commentator and co-chair of the trump chain in new york during the election. welcome back to the show. >> thank you. good morning. >> good morning to you. let's start with the president's own words when asked if he finds the new explanation from the saudis credible. let's play it. >> i do i. i do. it's early. we haven't finished our review or investigation. but i think it's an important first step and happened sooner than people thought it would happen. >> joseph, u.s. officials tell cnn this could not have happened without the knowledge or the direction of mbs, the crown prince mohammed bin salman. by calling this explanation credible, the president defies
4:47 am
or reject the u.s. assessment again. why? >> i don't think he's going to get a lot of support on saying it was potentially a credible explanation. i think that's why he followed up with the notion that it is early in the u.s. investigation. it is early in the investigation of the international community. i think you're going to see going forward more reliance on a wait-and-see approach than the diplomacy by tweet that the president has sometimes gotten criticized for. >> what do you expect the white house is waiting for? >> i think the white house wants to see where the shoe drops. i mean, he said it was a big step. and when he said that, he meant the arrest of the 18 saudis and the acknowledgment that there was potentially some culpability on the part of the consulate workers or hit team. that was a big step in his mind because days earlier they denied this was remeotely possible. i think the president, congress,
4:48 am
and the balance community would be wise to assume at that saudis are playing a game to distance the crown prince rather than find the truth. >> so as we go and lean on this word "credible" now, how credible do you find or do you expect the administration should find this 30-day investigation that's led by mbs? >> look, i think that certainly there's indications that the goal will be to relieve mbs of his open culpability rather than find the truth. that said, there may not be that many options. this crime happened in a foreign consulate, in another foreign country. so it's not as though the fbi has potentially the means to investigate as they would if this crime happened somewhere else. >> turning now to immigration. president trump himself spelled it out in a tweet saying this is a great midterm issue for republicans. he's leaning on mexico where there's been a contentious relationship in the last months
4:49 am
actually since he came into office. where do you see this go if his the relationship with the president of mexico has been hostile, he's leaning on them to stop the migrants at the mexico-guatemala border, will he see this as a win for midterms? >> i think the relationship changed last month with the renegotiation and signing of the nafta, the new version of nafta. that said, this is an issue that galvanized republican voters. i don't think there's any way to get around that, especially that we're looking at everything through the lens of the upcoming midterms. this is an issue that what was the battle lines in 2016. and it brought a lot of republicans to the polls. so the notion that this idea doesn't reinforce the idea for 76% of americans who want tougher border security, that we need it, and that there's one party that's going to give it to them while another party's going
4:50 am
to be the party of amnesty and lawlessness, it's probably false. >> right. but you're saying another party is going to be the party of amnes amnesty. president obama was known as the chief question port deporter, initially deported way more enthusiasm than president trump in his -- i so how to you say one party is wanting amnesty and open boarders? >> you make a good point. the board partyf of -- the democratic party is the ones that ha changed on boarder security. if you look at elson wearing a shirt we want open boarders. the democratic party was the one that shifted on immigration reform. >> you bring up the wall. because i've notice ood shift there among republicans.
4:51 am
during the campaign president trump constantly said we're then he would go on to say and mexico's going to pay. now that he's counting on them down on the mexican guatemala boarder, he doesn't seem to be saying they're going to pay. why is that? >> it seems like they're paying with blood, sweat and tears. they're clearly intended on am thing to southern boarder at the southern board wr mexo. there are people who i'm sure qualify for asile and people with valid veeszaus. but the question is whether we're going to simply allow people to come in by the mere fact they've walked to the boarder and demanded entry. this is an issue that
4:52 am
fwafblinizes republican voters. and if this continues, we'll see it in 20 wane as well. >> you know the champ at the ral as was not build that blood, sweat and tears. it was build that wall and peopl people expected because the president actually described a brick and mortar wall. to say that must have been an analogy for the work of the mexican forces -- >> don't forget big, beautiful gift. >> the talking about an actual wall. so to move the cheese is nefarious. >> there is no move thing cheese. you just heard plans to allocate funding for more construction of the boarder wall. i think the democrats have been in the obstructionests on the issue. and again as wrfb rr pointed out earlier, how to were the party
4:53 am
once in favor of the boarder wall. you see what president obama and clunt cannen said in their own words. >> why so much focus on the wall when it comes to imfwragz when 80% here illegally are here because of extended or over staying their own visas? >> that's certainly aer fair point and the president's comprehensive immigration reform also addressed that. >> i want to talk about rhetoric from the president had is often a topic. specifically about people coming into the country. let's play what he said about the folks between guatemala and mexico. >> these are some bad people coming through. these aren't babies, little angels coming into our country. these are some hardened criminals coming in and year not letting them in. >> some of them literally are babies.
4:54 am
i mean to say that they're hardened criminals. they are, many of them escaping hardened criminals. what's the value of the president's rhetoric? drumming up a base 17 day business nor election? >> look, with thousands of people in this group, there's no doubt there are some people who probably are working individuals who want a better life whether in mexico oefr the united states. but people who to have criminal records. >> and some i assume are good people. as he launched his ampain. >> the reality is of howevermany people are in this caravan, we have had no way to regulate who comes and can doesn't. and other people who qualify. but unless you have security to stop them and vet them in an orderly process, you essentially

have mob rule. >> always good to have you. >> am coming up. prince harry and duchess. >> this is life with lisa ling looks at life with mass murderers. >> we're meeting two children of notor wrs ilers. >> i spent so much of my life wondering why he hose the path that he did. >> what's trr like it like to b child of a murder? >> to go from thinking your father is prince charming to realizing he's the boogie man and the boogie man's real. >> and what can they tell us if
