i'll. get you to africa starts december twelfth on w. . this is day to really news live from berlin and the cia concludes the order to kill jamal khashoggi kang from the top. u.s. intelligence agency reportedly pins the dissident journalists to death on powerful saudi crown prince mohammed bin selman this is washington warns it will hold his killers responsible also coming up. protests in france turned deadly one woman dies

and dozens of others are injured as thousands of block roads to demonstrate against rising fuel costs and recovery teams press on with this search for the remains of those still missing in california's wildfires we get the latest from one of the devastated communities. i'm rebecca races welcome to the program the cia believes saudi arabia's powerful crown prince mohammed bin solomon ordered the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi that's according to a report in the washington post citing sources familiar with the matter the u.s. says about accountability for those found responsible u.s. president donald trump says he's not yet been briefed on the cia findings. he has consistently denied having any involvement but now mohammed bin salomon is firmly in the spotlight of blame the washington post says the cia has concluded saudi

arabia's de facto ruler is directly tied to the killing. and is briefing the u.s. government about his involvement calling him volatile and arrogant because shock she a critic of the saudi government and columnist for the washington post was killed at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second when he went there to pick up documents he needed for his marriage to a turkish woman. the crown prince has so far evaded direct accusations and vowed to bring the killers to justice. first of all the crime was really painful to all saudis and i believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a humorous crime that cannot be justified. but these latest developments put his position in doubt the washington post says that the cia reached its conclusions after examining sources of intelligence including a phone call that the prince's brother bin selman made sticker shock she on

mohammed bin salmond's command in the phone calls lead to the saudi ambassador to the u.s. is said to have encouraged to go to the consulate with assurances he would be safe to do so leaders vehemently denied any such claims on twitter he said i never talked to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason because shock she's visit to the consulate and in his death but the washington post says it isn't clear whether knew he would be killed the developments are likely to complicate president trump's efforts to preserve ties with his key ally trump has so far resisted pinning the blame for the killing on mohammed bin but he might not be able to hold to that if the cia's position is that the crown prince himself ordered a murderer. well for more we're joined by is time correspondent yulia han. said all along with the sound of government must be responsible is there

a sense of vindication there in turkey now well let's remember the cia has so far not officially confirmed these media reports that might be one of the reasons why we haven't heard of any official reactions here in turkey yet president out on may comment on the matter later but i think it's safe to assume that for this is a good news they have been trying to internationalize the whole investigation getting other countries on board a turkish president out on himself said that this is a murder premeditated murder was ordered out to quote the highest level of highest levels of the saudi government but he fell short of directly blaming crown prince mohammed bin saddam and now the cia findings as cited by the washington post are the most direct u.s. assessment to date linking the crown prince with the midst of a murder that's directly contradicting the saudi narrative the saudis still maintain that the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with it now the new

findings the report seem to play into the turkish government's hands yesterday there was a phone call between president adeline and u.s. president trump and according to this they agreed to make sure that they get to the bottom of this murder so how they come to some kind of understanding it's going to be really interesting how this will play out how the u.s. president trump will react because as you mentioned so far he did not directly blame the crown prince in order to protect relations with saudi arabia a close u.s. ally right and what's the latest on the investigation there into what happened to body. well many here have given up hope that the body or remains of the body will ever be found yesterday there was a funeral prayer here at a mosque in istanbul in absentia to honor the slain saudi rider turkish

authorities investigators say he was killed his members and they're also looking into the possibility that his body was deceived in acid so not much hope left that they will ever find the body and just briefly the turkish government doesn't normally provoke promote press freedom why as i came to uncover the truth in this case well you're right according to n.g.o.s turkey has a terrible record when it comes to press freedom freedom of opinion in general but treating this case as a completely different matter to them it's also a violation of territorial integrity a team of saudi agents came to murder a journalist a saudi national inside the saudi consulate here in turkey so that's why they're really pressing and pushing for this investigation to go forward and it's also about regional power dynamics let's remember turkey and saudi arabia have

a number of problems the qatar blockade being one of them so this is also about leadership in the region. certainly sounds like a lot more to be uncovered in this case you leon in istanbul thanks very much. in france one woman has died and dozens of others have been injured during protests against the rising cost of fuel the so-called yellow vests have mobilized thousands to demonstrate against president crohn's reform policies which include higher taxes on gasoline and diesel drivers are blocking k. roads across the country from the interior minister says there are protests of more than one thousand locations. well let's bring in data we report this if he has been following this story for us i mean high that this is one of the biggest protests against president policy tell us that a little bit about the background of it it's a really fascinating story actually because the background it just picked up in the last month and a half maybe even

a month back on october eighteenth if you want to find like a day when you can say this movement began a woman named just lean more whole she posted a video to facebook where she talked about rising gas prices how she couldn't afford to pay for gas and for the rest of her life got six million views on facebook and people started calling for a protest they named november seventeenth as a possible date for this then there was another video that got posted and this is where the this symbol of the yellow jacket kind of got associated with the movement a man named. he's just a technician from narbonne he's sitting in his car he poses this video where calls on people to to use the yellow jacket which all french people carry in their cars as a road regulation to use this as a symbol of solidarity let's take a look at this video. those who support this movement maybe you're at work maybe you can well look we all have a yellow safety vest in our cause throw it on the dashboard so everyone can see it

the whole week until the seventeenth a little color code to show that you're with the movement who's in and who's not so that will motivate people that will say while they still exists everywhere it's a sign this might actually be big it's not just talk. now this fee about five million views on facebook and counting it's still going viral as we speak because of these protests but he called again for a november november seventeenth protests and you could see after this a lot of people wearing these jackets and just days later a facebook page called. seventeen november calling for the protests got created and really took off from there but i wasn't organized by any kind of like labor association or anything so with a confrontation yes these protests you could say spontaneous if you mean fast but there was a lot of organization that went into this after this facebook page got created that i was talking about a lot of people join has twenty over twenty five thousand followers and kind of

a network established itself a network that eventually came together in person so these are real physical meetings and they created actually an interactive map where people could see where the bloke where the the stoppages were people were going to park their cars on the seventeenth of november you could go into this map and see what where these stoppages were going to happen we can take a look at the map now you can kind of maybe we don't have a map for you but you can zoom in on certain areas of france and you see these little yellow vests to mark where the protests are going to happen so it's really be driven on social media this campaign what are people saying about today's protests it's trending on twitter several hundred thousand tweets about this but if you just look through twitter a lot of support it had seventy over seventy percent of the french population according to some polls supported this and yet you can my favorite is actually this one post from the guy who did this video in his truck he said that you just posted

a picture of people out on the street you can just see hundreds of people marching along the street and you pose this picture saying wow and it was as simple as that wow credible i mean if thanks very much thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world thousands have turned out in hong kong for the city's annual pride parade marches demonstrated for equal rights and an end to discrimination against the old g.b.t. community hong kong judges recently ruled that same sex partners are entitled to visas even though the territory doesn't recognize same sex unions. tension between the u.s. and china has overshadowed the asian pacific economic summit in pup and you give me some what has become a later stage for disputes between the two countries over trade and regional security washington warned members that china's plans for a new trade route threaten their sovereignty. argentina's navy has found
