a fistfight at its stumble consulate for more than two weeks the saudis had denied because ship was stated. early saturday morning of the saudi state media announced that jamal khashoggi had died in a fistfight inside the saudi consulate in istanbul following an argument the statement clearly implies this was not a premeditated murder it also said eighteen saudis had been arrested in connection with the death and a second in command of the saudi intelligence service commit a series and other top officials have been sacked a leading saudi dissident told german television these moves are aimed at removing blame from crown prince mohammed bin solomon. it is obsolete impossibility to imagine this team of people fifteen members. coming in the one and even the even from different department the country and doing this job without literally

knowledge with the diet it ordered from. the shocking events alleged by turkish investigators have put the saudis under pressure to explain but the official statement has been met by skepticism in many parts of the world u.s. president donald trump says he needs more information from the saudis it was a big first step was a good first step but i want to get to the edge. of service say the saudis may have silenced not only because he was a journalist critical of the crown prince but also because he had close ties to turkey and the west. all right for more on the story we're joined by assad us he is from arabic now that's good to see you does this latest saudi vision of events seem credible it's hard to believe that the royal family that the crown prince mohammed bin son and his father king son mandate that they didn't know about this the death

of a. jamal khashoggi. especially they have been denying it for two weeks and now they say he died in the in the consulate because the two officials will be sacked today siri and pattani they are from the inner circle circle of crown prince and that's why it's hard to believe that they didn't know about the death of. ga and it's not really easy to buy this narrative speaking of buying this narrative window that we saw in the reports that u.s. president donald trump is somewhat buy into it but i wondered how people in the arab world are responding to the saudi narrative now i've been looking at social media and talking to friends and colleagues and nobody really believes this story that the royal family that the government didn't know that some of us of g.

was that there are so many questions about how come that somebody goes into a fistfight in the consulate and dies immediately and how come they didn't know anything or we don't know anything about the body what did happen to the body would have we don't we do know so this whole narrative is very very weak and. there are really very few people outside saudi arabia who believe this narrative that i want to ask you this how will jamal khashoggi be remembered in the arab world first we have to know the damascus of he wasn't always a dissident he was critical to the regime but you know was loyal he was also. very. he was of incident of the crown prince but when i'm home had been some man and his father came to power. i think he was or damascus or she was you know too uncomfortable still him and he went to the us too and his. too to exile in

practically and i think now he will be remembered as i and i kind of freedom of speech which is a very crucial thing and so i don't even know right now. thank you for that u.s. president donald trump has told reporters that the u.s. will unilaterally pull out of a nuclear arms agreement with russia the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty bans nuclear and conventional missiles with ranges off five hundred to fifty five hundred kilo misses russia has violated the agreement they'd been violated here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. that we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement they go out of their weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement that we wanted to agree with but russia has

not going to work your way out of the agreement so we're going to terminate their bravery we're going to pull out. now to some of the other stories making news around the world mexican authorities have allowed dozens of women and children from a large migrant caravan into the country mexican riot police refused to grant entry to hundreds of other migrants on a bridge crossing from guatemala u.s. president donald trump has threatened to deploy troops to the us mexico border if the migrants are not stopped. german defense minister under lion has begun a tool of asia and australia with a one day stop in mongolia during her trip she aims to increase military cooperation focusing attention on issues such as cyber terrorism and antiterrorism operations the next stop is china for talks with top defense officials. and no one had a winning ticket in the latest made the millions drawing in the u.s.

a demonstration so far they're sick of political infighting as the prospect of a heartbreak city looms in the distance. seem to be ignoring us completely at name and it's just a disgrace got lazy see if maybe are any charts at the main maybe it's just determined to steam it rose cmon it's three the government has completely failed the opposition has completely failed they're playing politics as if it's just a normal event it's not if it's in my view it's a great day to try and stay fit save the country the march was being spearheaded by the young who want to have a say in their future in the last referendum many of them didn't vote so far to reason may opposes the idea of a second vote. for a young person i feel like our future i offer you the full price in there anyway the city government i've always wanted. to march ended in front of parliament where many of them hope it will make

a lasting impression. all forces in afghanistan say a suicide bomber has killed fifteen people in kabul the attack was the most serious of many that caused dozens of casualties during the country's parliamentary elections almost nine million people were edge of also cost ballots despite the fear of violence turnout was larger than expected with long queues forming at many polling stations. dozens of people died across the country and more than one hundred ninety attacks on saturday as people went to the polls on the first day of voting a suicide bombing in front of a polling station in the capital kabul may have been the deadliest a doctor said that three people were killed there and six wounded but government sources say fifteen died both the local islamic state affiliate and the taliban have threatened violence during the elections. oh despite the threats many people seem eager to vote almost nine million are registered to cast their ballots in the

election for the lower house of parliament ordinary afghans have expressed cautious hope. it's their right to vote today i came out here and voted for my favorite comes out and did my part for the future of afghanistan. on the phone financial. stuff and war income flanks and now i've come here to vote for person who should want to bring security to the country i ask people to come and fight for prosperity in afghanistan not. it's a major step that these elections are happening at all they were originally scheduled to be held three years ago but ongoing instability has forced many delays ten candidates have been assassinated then just this past week an attack in kandahar province killed the chief of police and wounded the provincial governor leading to further delays in the province elections there are planned for next week the main target in that attack could well have been the us commander in afghanistan

general scott miller although he denies it he escaped injury and encouraged afghans not to be intimidated message to the people of afghanistan has been very consistent and you have every right to be proud of your security forces and the preparations that move for this election despite this unfortunate event tragic event down to ten are voters are choosing representatives for the two hundred forty nine seat lower house a strong turnout could well indicate that functioning institutions work bolstering the government's legitimacy in the eyes of the people voting continues on sunday at a number of other polling stations the final electoral results won't be known for at least a week. earlier we spoke to a freelance journalist in kabul and asked him how he experienced this election day . well i might my vote can seem a thing or my vote went pretty quickly that the biggest issue and the center that i was in was. the sorting out of the names because everyone was basically where you

registered was where you had to vote this time so that took a little bit of time but that was the biggest issue that i think personally but as the day went on what we saw was that millions of people face massive issues once they got to the polling centers their polling centers that just weren't open when they got there their polling centers that when they got there they didn't how about the prison how ballot boxes or they didn't have the ballot papers through the cocina matic tried to get their own specific ballots so this created a lot of problems for people where they were kept waiting outside of these voting centers for sometimes hours at a time and that leaves them susceptible to toll of on threat because we've seen you know the taliban vowed before the election that they were target these these polls and they have throughout the day we heard reports instances of rockets explosions of the taliban trying to ransack the voting centers of them closing down major

roads throughout the country and we even saw one that in the evening in kabul at six or seven in the evening a polling center was attacked ad that resulted in at least ten deaths including a child ali and that poll that i want i want to ask you this really quickly because we do have to wrap up but a lot of people turned out despite the violence that they would potentially have experienced why this is election mean so much to people in afghanistan because people are fed up with the parliament and they feel like the parliament is corrupt and it's fraudulent and it doesn't serve them so they were hoping that a new parliament would actually be interested of them all right reporting for us in kabul thank you very much for that and. ok football fans don't phrase it has mechanics and will have all the goals from match day of the bundesliga right off to the break can champions buy in munich gets back to winning ways off to
