2:01 pm
on the controls in moscow u.s. national security advisor john bolton meets difference officials in a dispute over into media grange nuclear missiles he talked with the russian president later today. and campaigning with donald trump at his side d.w. meets a republican candidate for senate in arizona a risk that republicans need to win to keep their results in majority. glass christiane and i'll just speaks to the media for the first time about a real allegation ahead of a match up today between your dentist and manchester united the clown deaf mute rinaldo famous. don't welcome among the touchy ma. president john has retaliated claims that jones
2:02 pm
jamal khashoggi was planned days in advance alleging saudi officials were involved speaking in parliament enjoin said three officials from the saudi consulate in istanbul well in on the kidney which he described as vicious and violent in nature by edwin said he had faith in the king of saudi arabia he quit for an independent commission into a song. edge and said all those responsible should be punished but he stopped short of pointing fingers he didn't mention the crown prince mohammed bin said a man by name or the turkish media allege he knew of the killing let's take a listen to more of what edwin had to say. it is clear of course that there was a murder and it was clear from the beginning so why was there a flurry of incoherent statements. and now that there is official acknowledgement where's the body why do we still not have the body. if the information is that the
2:03 pm
body was given to a local coconspirator and this is information from an authority by the way which who is this local coconspirator. and for the very latest let's go straight to istanbul where did i miss dorian jones is standing by jordan we heard president there chip john seems fairly certain this was a model of violent and vicious murder as he described it but did he offer any conclusive evidence that who carried it out and who ordered the motto of jamal khashoggi. no most of the speech was basically dismantling really the narrative. he was killed in an accidental confrontation with those in the consulate he said that this was a carefully premeditated murder involving three teams two from riyadh one that arrived the day before death and one team in the consulate who he alluded to was
2:04 pm
involved in reconnaissance for the disposal of the body and a third team which evolved what he described as high level officials who have specific skills he said all of this indicates that this was a carefully planned operation he said the security cameras the hard drives from those cameras were removed ahead of a visit to the consulate and he said that this points to the fact that saudi arabia had this carefully planned operation to get rid of this journalist he also criticized the lack of cooperation and he is calling for greater cooperation now from saudi arabia in particular finding the body which is seen as key by investigators to confirming their narrative that he was tortured executed and then his body was dismembered again contradicting riyadh's version of events and another crucial demand was that he called for those who have been detained eighteen people in saudi arabia that they should be tried here in turkey this is another key the man but the most striking thing about this speech is what he didn't say there's
2:05 pm
a lot of expectation that president will talk about these these so-called tapes all deal and videotape that according to sources linked to the turkish investigation recorded the last minutes of course a life that is seen as crucial to confirming turkey's narrative and the most important part it has over riyadh he did not even mention those tapes other than saying his intelligence services have important information and as you said he did not point directly to the crown prince mohammed bin someone other than saying that high level people he believes are behind this investigation in many ways this is a speech to keep options all open to question now is where will turkey go from now . exactly and that is the question dorian there had been such high expectation that ed on would bring out some of the evidence this audiotape that you mentioned and also a little more clear cut idea as to what happened and what this vicious and violent murder means where do you think what it is a do one strategy in this whole case do you think. well i think that's what
2:06 pm
washington riyadh and most of europe will be wondering this speech basically further turns up the pressure on riyadh but are he said keep his options open there's a lot of speculation that washington are in negotiations with the want to secure a final end game out of this crisis does turkey have a price what its price these are things that no one knows and of course being very successful i keeping silence out of policy what is his agenda possibly a handful of people only know what one is thinking maybe he hasn't made a final decision yet this speech does suggest that he's keeping his options open with the head of the cia do you know hop cell is now in is she part of those talks the speculations that she wants to see whether these all go and video recordings of these last minutes of a life do they exist and she reports back to tromp trouble then possibly decide on what his agenda will be modeled on the questions at the moment and the speech really hasn't altered any of the drives during joins in istanbul thank you very
2:07 pm
much for that up didn't of course we'll be following that story and we have more from you as soon as more details become available thank you for now. listen to a look at some other stories making news around the wound in mexico entireties are calling on residents to seek refuge in temporary shelters as hurricane wilma nears the country specific coast throughout the region people are preparing for the highest the storm has weakened overnight but forecasters warn it will likely battered coastal regions within speeds. in excess of two hundred kilometers per hour. officials in taiwan. excessive speed was the main course off a creen derailment that left eighteen people dead and investigation found the train entered a curve at one hundred forty kilometers per hour almost twice the speed limit for the section. two u.s. warships have see through the taiwan strait in a move that could aggravate tensions with china u.s.
2:08 pm
military officials said they were shadowed by chinese warships the trumpet ministration has stepped up military support for taiwan china still sees as a part of its territory. u.s. national security adviser john bolton is set to hold talks with russian president vladimir putin in moscow earlier in the day bolton met would russia's defense minister sergei surely who who stressed the kremlin remains committed to nuclear brew information bulletins is on a two day visit to russia shortly after u.s. president donald trump announced that washington would pull out of a thirty year old missile treaty built on its nuclear arsenal trump accuses russia violating the treaty with moscow denies the charge. for the very latest let's go to be correspondent emily show in in moscow welcome emily what is expected from bolton's meeting with the russian president today. well at this point it's actually
2:09 pm
hard to know what may come out of this meeting today amrita pushing himself hasn't commented on the whole situation and on the. u.s. this withdrawal from the treaty the kremlin spokesperson scoff has however commented he's called this decision dangerous in the past few days and he's also said that it would make the world a less safe place russia has said repeatedly that they don't want to rip up this agreement but today the kremlin spokesperson has also said that they shouldn't break up this treaty without. suggestions for a new agreement but he also admitted that there are some tight spots as he said in the treaty now it's interesting to note that putin himself has actually come out several times in the past few years against this treaty even as early as two thousand and seven he said in a speech that this treaty should be widened to include china and that otherwise
2:10 pm
russia would leave the treaty so basically echoing the words that trump has now come out with in the past few days so perhaps russia would also be looking to renegotiate this treaty we'll have to wait and see what comes out of that meeting amrita any truth is using very strong language at the moment to talk to modern you can build up until all the nations you said like russia come to this senses is this going. well russia actually hasn't really reacted to this rather threatening tone that we've heard but the language of ultimatums as they usually call it doesn't go down well in moscow and yesterday we saw foreign minister sergey lavrov commenting he said that any actions on this treaty would be met with a reaction so certainly raising the specter of an arms race there so we'll have to wait and see whether this is all just public posturing and whether the tone behind
2:11 pm
closed doors is actually much softer right emily showing at a moscow bureau thank you very much. you're watching the news coming up ahead fifty five kilometers of tom extraction between hong kong macau and the chinese mainland china opens the world's longest sea bridge. but first to the u.s. it's only two weeks until midterm congressional elections and i don't precedented number women are running for office it's been called the pink wave but it's not reserved only for liberal candidates today we profile a republican who once called president transfer moxon women disgusting now she's turned to the commander in chief for backing as she vias for a senate seat her party must win to keep its reserve in majority. marco makes furth to be a force pilot in combat kong with woman running for the u.s.
2:12 pm
senate in arizona in a race that will help decide which party controls the sham. and emotional moment for markham excel and the republican primaries she fended off fell under oath from the far right now she is her party's hope to hold the open senate seat in a difficult election and i feel very humbled and honored and grateful. she is the favorite of the republican establishment and has a reputation as a political moderate garnered from representing a swing district but early in this race she links herself to the president and makes clear she's not pulling her punches. this is how i see this campaign it's a choice between a do er and a talk between proven writs and hollywood. now there's nothing wrong with hollywood glitz right. like i am is
2:13 pm
a brand as anyone that my opponent brags that she owns or one hundred pairs shoes i only ever have over a hundred come in mission serving our country with forty six thanks ellice military record against her own ponens anti-war activism democrat kirsten cinema is also a congresswoman meanwhile this is a tight race closely watched by both parties make said he supports trump's border wall has toughened her stance on immigration and the embrace to president despite one's calling his comments on acceptable and disgusting we wanted to talk to mark them like sally about her campaign and her support for president from the regular rich dismisses female office holders as crazy or low i.q. but make sell they didn't want to talk to us. mesa arizona thousands lined up here to see donald trump he's holding a rally to help stem from opthalmic celie what a people here in self evident why she sides with the president. yes
2:14 pm
because anyone who doesn't vote present trump shouldn't live in the united states of america or anybody that backstrom is a help trump is the key to all of this he is the glue that holding all this together he's the driving force so he's a conductor of the strong train everybody is talking about one hundred percent when the u.s. president arrives the crowd goes wild and trump knows what his supporters wants to hear less orating attack from the democrats and dire warnings against a blue waif in the midterms mixed with a lot of praise for mike sally. she's tough and she's smart and she's brave and she could fly there are played better than anybody with your next united states senator from arizona martha makes out if you ever bought if this is an important event form accel it's a. keep the fourth quarter of the republican base. america is back in
2:15 pm
arizona is back thanks to the leadership of president jacques chirac this. however through when she has to appeal to the broader electorate of her state trump supporters but also centrist suburban voters and people repulsed by the president's policies quite a challenge even for a fighter like martha x.l.e. . that support for the w.'s on examiner phenomenon arbitrary arrests repression of dissent and even torture of critics there are just some of the findings of her two year human rights watch investigation into the pianist and in a parties the report released today accuses the fatah dominated palestinian authority in the west bank and hamas which operates in gaza of using repressive techniques against critics both parties categorically deny the reports it's not the
2:16 pm
first time these allegations like these have been made this time human rights watch i have spoken to more than one hundred people to hear their stories based on eighty six cases in both the west bank and gaza the report alleges that torture as practiced by both the that's about a sin and targeted and hamas amounts to a crime against humanity given its systematic practice over many years. in the form of alleged denise have given detailed accounts of the experiences have a listen with the. might make you sit in a chair like this tie your hands like. your legs do you know. they also bring a rope and tired from your alarms to your leg and you stay like this for hours or a day or two but it is about i was arrested by security forces in the gaza strip writing a facebook post on. facebook. in short compared the conditions
2:17 pm
of ordinary people to those of officials and leaders in town but it could on a hot summer day seem do your children sleep on the floor like ours do. now with the palestinian authority and hamas have rejected the allegations of systematic abuse and say they're ready to investigate and joining me now from ramallah in the west bank is michael page from human rights watch he's the deputy director of the middle east and north africa division welcome michael now this report alleges the practices of the palestinian authorities may amount to what you call a crime against humanity tell us more about the evidence you have gathered to support this. that's right so as you said we talked on it we talked to one hundred forty seven witnesses we documented over eighty five cases of individuals who were either arbitrarily detained into or tortured by the palestinian authorities in the west bank or hamas authority in the gaza strip and sometimes this abuse that they faced
2:18 pm
in prison amounted to torture or positional torture standing for long periods or kind of in uncomfortable positions that that over time could amount amounts to torture and essentially we are calling it systematic because it is a habitual practice it is widespread and it is deliberately used by authorities in both the west bank and the gaza strip to inflict pain and punish detainees in their control and many times these detainees in both places really haven't had the only crime that committed is writing a critical post on facebook or on social media or writing an article that's causing the authorities that's an awesome palace in authorities have denied any pattern of mistreatment in this day the actions have been awful and effective joint investigation what is your response to this. well i mean it's the usual response of
2:19 pm
many governments that say you know there's just a few bad apples there's just a few isolated cases that. they might investigate but really it's not systematic and the problem is that throughout this two year investigation we found quite the opposite and more than that we felt that there was a complete lack of accountability you know as we as far as we know there's not been a single officer charged you know in the by the palestinian authority or hamas for a criminal offense for abusing detainee's after despite all these cases and kind of years of documented abuses so this is really something where there's a total lack of accountability and what we have a kind of these like semi form parallel police states in the in the west bank and in the gaza strip that need to you know be respectful of promoting human rights particularly after the palestinian authority has signed up to a number. treaties right michael page from human rights watch joining us from
2:20 pm
ramallah in the west bank thank you very much. thank you so much. now from some sport and it's back to the champions league tonight for the best clubs in europe in football and christiana who now do takes the pitch for his team event just against manchester united that's the club which had to make a household name ahead of the match to spoke publicly for the first time since a vip allegation against him and much of an american woman allegedly rinaldo sorted in a las vegas for ten room in two thousand and nine she's now suing him and police have opened an investigation at eric west as ever all eyes are on christiane of an elder as he returns to manchester to face his former club. on this occasion however football is not the only focus as the portuguese spoke to reporters for the first time about these ongoing court case whether the allegations of proving
2:21 pm
a distraction from his professional life were now there was defiance. this thread read this statement. so weeks ago if i'm not wrong so i'm glad of course i'm not going to lie on this situation i'm very happy my lawyers the they are confidence and of course i am too so the most important i enjoy the football i enjoy my life the rarest i have people who take care of my life and of course i do true always coming in first position so. i'm good for previous visits to manchester united stadium old trafford have been emotional affairs for a player who spent six years at the club before departing for more glory at real madrid in two thousand and nine no events as one elder tried to assure fans he was relaxed ahead of this time. i know that i am example i know one hundred percent in the future and outside the peach so. smile and i'm blessed that i play
2:22 pm
in a fantastic love i have a fantastic family i have four kids i'm healthy i have everything so the rest doesn't care for on me so i'm very wary of life. as a very public legal battle rubble zone where now those returns with city where he is still so revered could provide a welcome distraction from his private life. joining me now is again firs and the crisis surrounding the killing of sound jamal khashoggi is having economic repercussions the saudi arabia that's right it prompted foreign investors for example to sell a total of one point one billion u.s. dollars of saudi's stock saw sweeps over fears that possible international sanctions could hurt business and the major. conference that got underway in riyadh today has been plagued by a series of cancellations by high profile figures over the growing scandal u.s. treasury secretary steve mooching and chief. both canceled their attendance there
2:23 pm
joe kayser the c.e.o. of german industrial john simmons has also pulled out albeit reluctantly. so what does all that mean for the kingdom and those doing business with it let's bring in somebody who's of our analyst from medical finance and joins us now from dubai we've heard that countless high profile figures have pulled out of that conference does that hurt the kingdom financially i wouldn't say it would hurt them financially in terms of fifty to. seventy ruining part of that image that crown prince had been so none has been getting so much effort into building in the recent months over economically it does it wouldn't affect so that the saudis the largest oil exporter one of the largest oil exporters in the world and in fact probably investment fund has been investing heavily in stocks all around the world
2:24 pm
especially in the states. so for the companies for example who have actually pulled out do the saudis watch them carefully and do they have a long memory on these companies expect when all this is blown over this whole scandal and they expect to have more trouble doing business with saudi arabia. and of course we do not expect the government to hold grudges against the corporates but also showing showing some faith in the saudi government and its and its judgment would be a positive thing for certain companies to do it's understandable that companies such as siemens itself has been under a large scrutiny before before the before the reluctant. exit so on the behalf of the sea over from the investment summit however in the long term the seals are quite large and they serve a bigger purpose and it's the vision of twenty thirty and i think this is a long term goal the saudis not willing to give up despite the current mishaps that are taking place right now definite definitely certain companies who have decided
2:25 pm
on not going to the or attending the investment summit will be punished in a certain way not quite sure how but an example would be instead of giving thirty billion dollars deal to a certain companies could be outsourced to several smaller companies and that way you would lose that the deal size. and why is saudi arabia so keen on foreign investment these days and again this part of what you were talking about earlier the focus is on diversifying its. economy and its income stepping away from oil generated revenues is a big is a big part for the g.c.c. at the moment and we're seeing those reforms across all tissue states so the wrecked foreign direct investments serve as a way to also strengthen the trade agreements between countries it brings more more exposure to. certain products and the market introduces new investment alternatives in the markets as well so it's really
2:26 pm
a wide variety of options and this is why saudis doing that sometimes obvious from called finance joining us from dubai thank you very much. china is building bridges quite literally in this case it happens to be the longest in the world china doesn't do small these days it's fifty five kilometers long cost ten years took ten years to build cost billions and its usefulness is highly disputed it looks right though. it has been a monumental challenge but after nearly a decade of construction work and some twenty billion dollars the big day has arrived so it's no surprise the chinese government is hailing the opening of the record breaking structure. i now declare the hong kong bridge open. but opinion is divided among ordinary hong kong others. i
2:27 pm
haven't been on the bridge yet so i'm not sure but i think the opening is good brains convenience to the three cities. so they get a call or something it wasted a lot of hong kong is money right it's meaningless for normal people we rarely go to the mainland we would hardly use the bridge. construction for the bridge was dogged by controversy ten workers died during construction and cost overrun the budget by more than one billion dollars hong kong residents have also complained about the restricted access to the bridge they will need special permits to drive across it another objection is that the bridge isn't even open to public transport . but for china the bridge is also part of a larger initiative to connect hong kong and the chinese mainland to form a high tech business region to rival silicon valley. you're watching t.v. news from berlin more news coming with our marines on the top. don't forget to
