6:02 pm
security council follows shortly after the news broke or healy met with present at the white house and trump said he hoped haley would return to his administration at some time in the future but he only suggested that if she did return to government or politics it would be in a different context let's take a listen to what she said exactly. i'm not leaving until the end of the year my goal is that we make sure that everything is in good place him for the next ambassador to come in but it's a great day in the united states and i'm proud to have been part of the team and now i don't have anything that on where i'm going to go i think that the main thing was i was governor for six years and we've dealt with a hurricane a thousand year flood a church shooting a school shooting over the mosque and then the comment and been two years no question in iran and north korea that it's been eight years of intense time and i'm a believer in term limits i think you have to be selfless enough to know when you step aside and not someone else to do the job so thank you mr president you've been
6:03 pm
honored by. the caylee there explaining some of her reasoning behind handing in her resignation let's go over to my straight or she is in washington for us so maya did anybody see this coming in caylee's resignation. shortly know this apparently as a very big shock to not only nikki haley's staff who just heard about this this morning but many senior members of the trumpet ministration and they kind of harkens back to the old days of the beginning of the trip administration when it seemed like someone was resigning every other minute but with different about this one was there was no real lead up to when there were no leaks about a contentious relationship or fights within the administration about nikki haley and her role in fact she is known to get along very very well with the president the two are very close she really has his ear and she's one of the few people within the administration who could really oppose him who could stand against him
6:04 pm
who could tell him when she thought that he was going too far on certain policies and she was known as one of the moderating voices within the cabinet she herself is more of an establishment republican she's not a political outsider which is one of the things that the president likes to paint himself as and she was one of the moderating voices at the u.n. she was someone who did a good job of taking the president's perhaps extreme message and making it more palatable for the international audience and maybe as a sign of how close the army should appear with the president when she announced her resignation publicly seated next to him this was very carefully stage managed. oh absolutely also very odd that bassett her is getting this sort of state level pomp and circumstance in the oval office like this this sort of set up is usually used for other visiting heads of state who are coming to speak with the president and we certainly haven't seen this sort of treatment for any other members of the
6:05 pm
staff who have resigned in the same way as we have said the two are very close and the president is definitely the administration i should say is trying to put a very positive spin on this especially as we just came out of this very very bruising week for the administration for the country over this fight over the supreme court and with these midterm elections which are hanging over everything and will be for the next month especially as we're getting closer to them well let's talk a little bit more about that because of course we don't really know why she is leaving i mean she mentioned that she believes in the term limits which is a very interesting terminology that she decided to use there but timing is significant talk to us about that. definitely well as i said the. midterm elections coming up now and this will reinforce this image of the administration being less stable than maybe some americans would like it to be it's
6:06 pm
also interesting that nikki haley just finished up this month as the president of the u.n. security council and is now saying that she's stepping back. she's been obvious getting a lot of zach lee as to why there's been. floating as to be for financial reasons it might just be because she is tired as she herself implied what does her departure in conclusion mean for u.s. foreign policy and diplomacy in general. well a lot of that will become clear when we see who the next person is going to be there have been just one or two names floated but one of the biggest things is nikki haley was one of the most prominent women in the trump administration and this is an administration who and that shall we say is not as progressive as some people would like on the question of women in power and visible women in positions of authority in the administration and especially on the diplomacy side we have a male secretary of state she was one of the most visible women in american foreign
6:07 pm
policy and now she's not going to be there anymore representing the united states my intruder reporting from washington thank you. all right we'd like to get you caught up now with some of the other stories making news around the world new u.s. supreme court justice brett kavanaugh has promised to be impartial and a team player after being sworn into office at the white house he said he had no bitterness about his contentious confirmation process earlier president donald trump apologized to kavanagh for the quote terrible pain and suffering he and his family endured. in moscow has no comment on a report to that identifies the second suspect in the screwball poisoning case the investigative website katz says the man who entered britain under the alias alexander pet rock is an intelligence officer named alexander michigan last month alan cat identified the other suspect as another intelligence agent. a fire and
6:08 pm
series of explosions have broken out at an arms depot in northern ukraine ten thousand people were evacuated after the incident near. around one hundred seventy kilometers from kiev while authorities also closed the airspace around the site is the sixth major fire in three years at a ukrainian army depot. turkey says it will search inside the saudi consulate in istanbul for a missing saudi journalist the u.n. human rights office says it is deeply concerned at the disappearance of jamal khashoggi one week ago today well the washington post has published what it says is the last photograph of its missing saudi contributor the surveillance camera image shows the fifty nine year old walking into the saudi consulate in the turkish city of istanbul a week ago turkish officials say he was murdered inside the building a claim saudi arabia vehemently denies. are all from where i'm now joined by our
6:09 pm
correspondent in istanbul dorian jones dorian he vanished a week ago are the saudis now cooperating with the turkish investigation. but we do understand now the officials will be allowing this child the saudi consulate this is been a key demand of turkish authorities for some time although it has to be said that most experts say that if there has been foul play committed if you expect there will be any evidence remaining in the consulate in particular if you expect to find . being killed or not. so i think it's more a gesture on the saudis that they are now cooperating with turkish officials in this situation right and it's been a week of course since his disappearance what hard evidence do the turkish investigators have in this case and how are they following up on their only. well really that has been a criticism that they have seen these allegations made that possibly he had even
6:10 pm
been murdered the consulate but there's no real evidence to support these claims pub we understand now to officials are now focusing on two but i found that belong to the saudi consulate one of which was visible as close to the consulate and believing that those vans possibly were use to take out of the building you know using c.c.t.v. coverage to follow those vans turkey's istanbul does have some of the most intense c.c.t.v. coverage in the world and turkey has software to use those images now they will be putting all of the expertise to track down where those fans went and the people that were in them and also there's a lot of attention now being focused on the arrival of fifteen saudi officials who arrived the same day arriving on private jets there is a spirit that has been suspicious suspicions that they were possibly part of some saudi hit team that was responsible for kidnapping co shogi and bringing him sending him back to riyadh or possibly killing him so that a lot of attention on those people because they left the same day even though they
6:11 pm
had checked into a hotel to stay for a number of days dorian in conclusion there was a lot of speculation that he was murdered in the saudi consulate is that still the official line. well yes and to took issue officials who've been quietly quoted over the weekend saying that they do believe that kushal he was murdered in the consulate there's been rumors of some graphic details of how he was killed although no details on evidence to support those claims but on monday the turkish president rejected all you've heard one seemed to walk back but he's not repeat these allegations he believes he was murdered although they all saying that they believe and they have very worried about the status and in fact the turkish president's now trying to push back and saying it's up to the saudi officials to show evidence that he did leave the consulate because it took visuals have plenty of images of i'm entering but they say there is no images of him leaving and adding to the suspicions the saudi consulate saying that all the video cameras weren't working on that day during jones reporting from istanbul thank you. and vogue
