murdered and dismembered by head team ankara appears determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. we have to learn the fate of. how he went missing in the saudi consulate the whole world has turned their eyes to us and are wondering if there's a human being there it's important that he's a journalist but more importantly he's a human being and we have to solve this issue. also on tuesday u.s. secretary of state mike pompei i travel to riyadh for crisis talks with king solomon and other saudi leaders the kingdom faces mounting pressure to explain the fate of who is a u.s. resident riyadh has been denying any involvement in the journalist's disappearance despite growing international pressure but a number of u.s. media sources say the sides are preparing to admit that to shock she died during an interrogation at the consulate that went wrong. pompei o will travel to turkey on

wednesday. for more on the international pressure that is facing saudi arabia tonight i'm joined by daniel berlant he is an expert on the mideast i know it's good to see you again what should we make in your opinion of the saudi council's sudden departure from turkey. well certainly the consul enjoys diplomatic immunity but you don't know in which direction the the mood the general atmosphere is going to swing in turkey. would he have to cooperate would he have to provide information it is also possible that he was not involved in the plan if it was if it's really true that this was a hit team operation a role could team up aeration then a very limited number of people were involved in all the details of this but certainly something like this if it was an operation that went so that when wrong or it was intent if it was intended to kill in that manner which i doubt it was

intended but it's not i'm not it would not impossible the top government officials those that are in charge of the security operations in the country notably the crown prince himself would have been involved at least would have had knowledge and would have authorized it why do you do the intention was to murder the journalist well i would say that i'd have no you know i have no i'm not a forensic expert i don't know the details on the ground there are certain theories even conspiracy theories about the disappearance of. i think if you assemble the facts that have been leaked so far this thirtieth or it is have not given the evidence yet then you could also find realistic that they try to rent to to organize of indignation of forcible dition which means that they would basically kidnap him and take him to saudi arabia they have done this a couple of times with people they consider traitors we have to look at also other operations that when terribly wrong operations of the of the israeli intelligence

service of the russians that have been revealed prematurely all these things happen in these operations so i cannot tell you what exactly happened one thing is for sure we often say nobody can be that utterly stupid to conduct such an operation in its own consulate general but whenever these intelligence officials gather and they take a plot such a plan gives. that this is the way it happened everything is possible and so it is possible to we know that international pressure is mounting on the soul to kingdom and it's coming from former allies in current allies i want you to take a listen to what the us senator lindsey graham said just a few hours ago. and i've been their biggest offender on the floor of the united states senate this guy is a wrecking ball he had this guy murdered in a consulate in turkey in to expect me to ignore and feel used and abused i was on the floor every time defending saudi arabia because there's a good ally there's a difference between a country and an individual the n.b.s.

figure is to me toxic he can never be a world leader on the world stage what does the president do thankless up to the president but what i would do i know what i'm going to do and sanction the hell out of saudi arabia. i mean those strong words there the m.b.'s that he mentioned that is the sole prints do you anticipate the u.s. and the european union and saudi arabia with sanctions and what about the future for the crown prince. well that's certainly a bold statement from senator graham. given the fact that the republican party has been also the democrats but but in particular the program holik and party have been very strong supporters of this say like very unique lateral decision of the trump ministration to side with saudi arabia to put all their all the investment they have the political capital into saudi arabia against iran and and against other

players in the region so this is a bold statement and it puts the trump of mr ation into a very embarrassing situation of course because trump has said earlier he would not jeopardize hundreds of billions of dollars the deals in arms sales for this case but i think what people have underestimated is the role that he played in the u.s. media and the importance that this person had because he was the go to person he was mr saudi arabia in the united states very difficult to understand and people went to him and so certainly he has strong supporters in the u.s. media and in the public opinion do you know you're like it's always good to talk with you we appreciate your insights tonight thank you thank you the united nations says the number of people in yemen on the brink of famine could soon rise to twelve million now that is forty percent forty percent of the population the ongoing conflict means that millions need emergency food just to survive but for

many it's already too late. she's only eight years old and one of millions of victims of a war that seemingly unending. and is a has been taken to hospital in aden doctors say he waits is that of the two year old and they're not optimistic about her future. would hold what is the one question. i have found yet since we did first subsists and more likely today this and would like it to that she is that i think asian ten point one as soon as the fifteenth. anissa and her mother are among the hundreds of thousands of civilians who fled the fighting around the city of her data just a few days ago at least fifteen people fleeing the escalating conflict were killed when a sound led coalition air strike hit two buses near a security checkpoint. potato has become the

center of yemen's conflict the port city is the entry point for seventy percent of the country's food imports sounded led coalition forces and i ground troops are fighting to who theory will is controlling it some ace getting through the distribution centers are filled with people desperate for food and there isn't enough for everyone the u.n. is calling it the world's worst humanitarian crisis hand as of late twenty seventeen there were eight point four million severely food insecure people who need emergency food assistance every month to survive judy economic decline including depreciation of the currency humanitarian partners estimate that this population could rise up to five million people the un's world food program says it's scaling up its efforts for many it will be too late but for some of the children who've made it to hospital there might still be some hope. and for more on

this i'm joined now by lisa grundy she is in new york and she is the un's humanitarian coordinator for yemenis groundings good to have you on the show the u.n. is warning of the world's worst famine in a century in yemen if the war there continues after the families that we saw in ethiopia we heard leaders around the world say that this kind of famine and hunger could never happen again but that's exactly what we're talking about is and that's exactly right as we go into the twenty first century i think almost all of us assumes that we would never see what we have seen in ethiopia but we have seen it in bengal that we had seen in parts of the soviet union but the reality is that that is precisely what we are looking at in yemen three quarters of the entire population choir some form of humanitarian assistance and protection there is no other country in the world where a higher percentage of the population needs our help. if you wanted to send let's

just say bread and water to a family in yemen tonight want or who would prevent that delivery every single month in the world food program provides cash and food assistance to eight million a minisub these yemenis didn't receive that assistance they wouldn't survive. this is one of the most difficult and complicated operations that the u.n. rahm's anywhere in the world the world food program and its partners have to bring food into the country it has to be trucked to the areas where people need it the most the complications are incredible were blocked roadblocks we have difficulties getting food into ports it's very expensive to bring the supplies in we need in many ways this is one of the most complicated and complex and difficult

to operate and have any current or yeah and i think people around the world struggle to understand how we could be so difficult but i'm as you see it is and we know that three weeks ago the saudi led military alliance announced the opening of humanitarian corridors into the what has happened since then. the port a few days of prayer much the fighting is concentrated right now is the lifeline for northern human and this is for most of the population is and these are the areas where people are most at risk and this is why humanitarian seven system for about the conflict at the port has to stay open if that course closed even fourth if the impact is indeed here and it would be decisive that's why we're calling on all of the parties to the conflict to make sure that we can bring in the supplies that we need people. and are you getting the you know people keeping their

promises are you being able to get food in through these corridors as has been pharmacist. the port does remain open it's been open all throughout the conflict and it needs to stay open but one thing that we have to be very frank about is of the eighteen million people who need some kind of assistance if it million a month there are ten million unis who depend on the market they depend on importers and here's where the problem is many of the importers are an equal to bring the supplies and they need they can't bring them in because there are difficulties at the ports they can't run and then because they don't have lines of credit and foreign currency these are the problems that need to be addressed for the ten million in minnie's who depend on the market in order to sort through right at least randi with the u.n. she's the u.n. humanitarian coordinator for yemen is going to we appreciate your time tonight thank you. our time for business news and home here

is here with the latest thank you very much brant we're going to take a look at the markets of course because investors on wall street are having sighs of relief stocks there follow the strong gains posted on european exchanges the dow jones index on wall street close tuesday session almost two percent higher recovering from last week's losses of more than four percent warnings by the international monetary fund for dick to market turbulences have triggered a sell off in most major trading floors. let's get it firsthand for that we are now crossing over to new york where our financial correspondent jim acosta is standing by high as well that's a pretty impressive recovery there what's going on exactly. last week we saw the worst week for wall street since march and now on tuesday we had the best day on wall street since end of march well

a couple of factors under play here on wall street first of all we got some really good economic news from the labor market job openings with a good seven million reached a new record and there is almost a million more job openings then people are obviously were officially claimed unemployed saw that shows that there's almost a full employment here in the united states and then we also got a bunch of pretty solid earnings reports from banks like goldman sachs and morgan stanley but also especially from the health care industry from help assure your night of health from johnson and johnson beating earnings expectations all those were some factors why blue chips popped up by more than five hundred points. and talk of the world's largest ever i.p.o. is also getting louder what's the latest over technologies the right

sharing company got some proposals from banks for their planned i.p.o. that is probably going to happen at some point in twenty nineteen and some of the bangs see value for. next year at one hundred twenty billion dollars so that's quite a breathtaking number if you consider that the company only of blois about thirteen thousand people is not profitable and won't be profitable probably anytime soon but investors keep pumping money into over and just to put to get an idea what one hundred twenty billion dollars means there was that over would be worth more then ford general motors and ford chrysler so the big three u.s. carmakers combined. gets caught on wall street thank you very much. the united states is to impose a fresh set of sanctions on iran they'll target

a multibillion dollar financial network that allegedly funds the recruitment and training of child soldiers the move is part of a wider u.s. campaign aimed at putting pressure on the iranian economy earlier this year u.s. president donald trump pulled out of a landmark nuclear deal that will see a range of previously scrapped sanctions reintroduce iran's already feeling the effects of that decision oil exports are down and several foreign companies have withdrawn from the country. through the tougher business in the back to brant now as the countdown to election night in the u.s. we're talking about is what three weeks from now the u.s. midterms elections are just three weeks from today a record number of women are running for governor and many states and for the u.s. congress and when you look at the race for u.s. congressional seats you can see what we're talking about there was a strong spike between twenty sixteen and twenty eight team some are calling twenty

eight thousand the year of the woman to kick off our election coverage g.w. is focusing on some of the most closely watched women this electoral season we have in-depth profiles on for females grabbing the headlines we begin with first time candidate alexandria cortez she became an overnight sensation after pulling off an upset in the primaries to become a democratic congressional candidate from new york city the alexander phenomenon called up with her on the campaign trail. alexandro kozhikode test community activist publisher. running for congress in new york's forty instance trick she could become the youngest woman and the house of representatives . a rally in the crowd to record the restaurant and the bra. contests knows almost everyone she shocked her party when she almost attempt term

incumbent congressman and the democratic primary for her this is just the beginning it's all about every day people coming together and believing in their ability to change this time from. the ground from a to this now a political rock star. she was like born and raised in the neighborhood in the bronx and just love like this community activism and getting involved she's bold she's progress that she's not afraid to you know take her ideals and the platform that she believes in and really take it to where it needs to go and to really galvanize people towards that goal. i'll examine because a contest inspires her supporters puts the fear of god into the establishment of the democratic party the party's leaders insisted nationwide elections are won by embracing the center of society and by avoiding any positions that might scare

white middle class voters by the people here are convinced the opposite is true they say that the party has to become a credible voice with social justice we are currently at a point where in new york city there are three empty luxury apartments for every one person experiencing homelessness we are at a point where people are are spreading apart their insulin medication where they are foregoing thing critical medication that they need because they don't feel like they have the financial ability. to stay alive contests and have fellow activists once universal health care a federal jobs guarantee to ition free universities campaigning in the neighborhood they are reassured that these issues do matter here. would you say that. i was asleep. she was really. one. but too many on the

right alexandra because you cortez is a dangerous revolutionary who calls herself a democratic socialist who pledges not to accept any money from corporations it was it's hard especially when i was running and it is it feels almost impossible. people are ignoring you know or they are calling you naive or they're calling you. an educated uninformed uncommitted. i'm. wondering. because you could have a standard program and she is highly favored to win this district in november for many here she is just all the commission they have been waiting for for a very long time. and joining me tonight is our correspondent alexandra phenomena she is in the wisconsin city of milwaukee

good evening to you alexandra we just saw you report there. because your chords some people say that she is the democrats' secret weapon is she. well when you ask her supporters they would tell you of course she is and there is a growing number of young liberals saying that the democratic party has to have good concepts on how to solve many problems do you ask citizens are facing right now that's not enough to just be against strong but of. course we have to say that her demands are no it's mainstream and she's been criticized not only by republicans but also by democrats who called her a naive and are saying that who is going to pay for her demands however we also have to add to that talking about situation free education or universal health care that's something that can be done just look at the euro for

example very good point bernie sanders would probably agree with you as well you are in milwaukee as i said if you're on the campaign trail of a republican female candidate i mean we've heard about this surge in the number of female democratic candidates what about the republicans. well we have to say that the energy is definitely on the democratic side just look at the numbers fourteen percent of republican house candidates are women compared with about thirty percent of the democratic candidates and we even know that some republican ken female candidates were advised not to run this year because of the political climate because of president trump's divisive policies and because he's so highly unpopular and mome among female voters are correspondent alexander

phenomenon joining us from milwaukee wisconsin alexander thank you. for today marks fifty years since american athletes tommy smith and john carlos gave a black power salute on the medal podium at the mexico city olympics their civil rights protests led to their expulsion from the games and to they are all stresses and by the sporting world today many see them as heroes but john carlos thinks progress is still too slow. john carlos takes off a cap which says it's all an image that needs no words. his black power salute along with fellow american tommy smith at the nine hundred sixty eight olympics shocked the world and largely ended their athletics careers now carlos has returned to mexico city to reminisce about the civil rights protest despite much being achieved since carlos remains troubled. through your

work. for you. here. for the first. following calling kappa next take a knee protest the n.f.l. player cannot find a team in the league says he's not been cast out because of his civil rights action but in a recent nike advert kappa nick said he'd sacrificed everything for something he believed in. converse lee tommy smith was forced to turn to american football after his ban for the salute which followed winning the two hundred meters gold in mexico he told d.w. news earlier this year that sport can continue to be a legitimate form of protest don't foresee athletes as as role models as actors and i think the athletes all. due to the people who are watching them and trying to take on

a role such as them smith and carlos paid heavily for their protest but they became role models for an entire generation. you're watching the w. news a lot but from berlin after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight we're going to focus on the endangered journalist being targeted for daring to report the truth.
