agents in turkey yet one year later still no justice for a washington post journalist jamal khashoggi. i'm sumi so much going to thanks for joining us british prime minister boris johnson has outlined what he's calling his final offer to brussels on the terms of a deal for the u.k.'s exit from the european union johnson was addressing his conservative party's annual conference in the northern english city of manchester one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the gauche ations with the e.u. is how to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland johnson said new proposals on the border would be officially conveyed to brussels later this afternoon and he called them a compromise by the u.k. . today in brussels we all tell you what i believe all. struct and
2:02 pm
reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out. thank you will. we will respect the peace process and do the good friday agreement. thank you and and and by and by a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and the assembly of northern ireland we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and business is on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u. with control over our own trade policy from the start. all right let's bring in our
2:03 pm
correspondents on the story in burkas mass and standing by for us in manchester and garrick mattis is in brussels welcome to you both are good let's start with you we listen to what boris johnson just said he didn't offer a lot of detail when it comes to overcoming the problem of the irish border did he say anything more specific other than what we just heard. well no sumi he was really very light on the detail as you just said and also i think you have to bear in mind that what he's offering on the one hand he says there will be no checks at or near the border and on the other hand he promises that the u.k. will leave the european union and the customs union completely withdraw completely that's in itself really a contradiction almost he hasn't really told us how exactly he's going to square the circle now we're hearing that the so-called final offer is being made to brussels later today so we will possibly get some more details on this but
2:04 pm
importantly he mentions the would the message that he was really trying to bring it across and where he was very much supported by the party membership to say that this is really all fine and off we are going to walk away if the e.u. doesn't engage in a way that he johnson deems the correct way with this office to really saying we are going to leave and you just have to basically take this off and have to help us find a compromise and walk away with no deal and this is where you got the most of last year at the party conference when he was asking the audience are we ready for a new deal and everybody shouted yes while his proposals will officially be sent to the e.u. this afternoon let's come to you now gary boris johnson still seems to be trying to square this impossible circle as we heard that they say they're keeping the irish border open but also taking the entire u.k. out of the customs union and the single market how do you think brussels is likely to react. in brussels officials are clearly aware of the
2:05 pm
fact that there is a concern on the part of the british government that in case of a no deal breaks which would be harmful for both sides they don't want to be pictured as the ones who did not reach out the hand and so that is why the word compromise was my. in the number of times by the british prime minister in that speech the only problem is that officials here in brussels and experts all all of what i have heard from yet concierges actually where that compromise lies because as big it has pointed out. correctly you can't have both you can't have no checks at the border and while at the same time leaving the customs union i've traveled to norway for instance to take a look at a country that is not in the customs union about in the internal market something the prime minister many envisage will will have to wait for the details but there is clearly a border to sweden which is an e.u. member state so there is no example and when the prime minister boris johnson here
2:06 pm
says we have to trust into technology or face a hot breakfast that is not an option that process wants to stick through they want to be sure that the future of trade relationship shit can be guaranteed and therefore there is this idea of a transition period and a backstop in case no solution can be found ok what about ireland to guarantee how much of a say will it have and whether to accept any compromise offer from the u.k. . or the unity on the part of the 27 member states including ireland was was very was very strong in the past and it will remain strong that's what i've heard from from member states so don't expect ireland to be pressed by either germany france or any other of the 27 to accept any deal that would harm that internal border that currently is an open border they could coming back to you in manchester is forced johnson actually interested in the e.u. accepting his latest proposals or is he really set on a no deal break that. well it was interesting i was speaking to some you diplomats
2:07 pm
here at the conference and asking them how serious are gore's johnson's proposals what do they think about it even though we don't know the details yet but there have been some rumors in circles and there were it wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement it was more ok well we have to live in hope that he really does want to deal but it wasn't very enthusiastic and of course there has been a lot of speculation that he's really rallying the country also behind the idea of no deal and that he just wants to shift the blame but it remains to be seen how when we get the final offer the so-called final avoid at the details how seriously they will be taken by brussels all right back at mass for us in manchester and care in brussels thank you both. now hong kong is taking stock after some of the most violent clashes since pro-democracy protests started 4 months ago hundreds gathered again today to show
2:08 pm
their anger at the police shooting of a teenager police fired a live round at the 18 year old on tuesday after he attacked an officer with a metal bar crowds also converged on a court in the district to support protesters arrested in previous demonstrations. and our correspondent some pole has been covering all of this for us in hong kong hi charlotte what is the situation there today. sumi they have been numerous flash mob protests that have sprung up in several different places across hong kong today the mood here very somber very anger angry after what took place yesterday at that protest the shooting of that young teenage protester hearing the commercial districts of hong kong hundreds of people gathered during their lunch breaks many of them still dressed in suits to voice their anger some of them chanting anti government chan's then there were protests that took
2:09 pm
place at the school of the teenager who is we did a lot of students sitting down one on the across their chest signifying the area where that student was shot what we saw yesterday to be very clear was a huge escalation in the violence that we've seen in hong kong so far police previously have fired warning shots into the we've seen tear gas we've seen rubber bullets never before though we've seen a protester shot by a live rounds now we were on the streets last night as news of that shooting spread like wildfire across hong kong throughout the protestors and we spoke to a number of people and got their reaction to what had happened take a listen to what we. protesters taking part in the legal marches knew the risks. gas rubber bullets arrest. but in one moment everything changed.
2:10 pm
but as news spread of police hitting a protester with a live round it wasn't fear we saw will lose and. probably one of the her. hard work of archigram own whom move for her own ground under guard my daughter grew up in the car truck know something was not. this was an escalation that many had long fade but few could believe one woman so i wait she confronted police without a face must police unflinching in their response. at a gas canister narrowly missing our cameraman. protesters tell us the shooting only strengthens their resolve to take to the streets i'm afraid but it will push and push me to go. to stand up to fight for him that bullet river sounding a communist party trying to force her for
2:11 pm
a free place to words. their darkness i was shocked but i think is will we have been in one day because chinese government they want to store for us. please say the officer fired the shot because he feared for his life but protesters see it differently they gathered outside a police station into the early hours of the morning telling abuse at the offices inside as hong kong braces for another dark chapter in its protest movement. i. surely can see their emotions really running very high after that violent day what can you tell us about the student who was shot. a few days. as in and about the protesters so far we know that he is currently in hospital is said to be in a stable condition off to receiving that bullet wound to the chest we've had that he is 18 years old and is
2:12 pm
a high school students now the image is that bullet being fired went viral here in hong kong very quickly spreading across the protesters on the streets what they show is a very violent scuffle between a number of protesters and police we saw the police getting injured we saw that the protesters carrying poles hitting the police then that shot was fired at very close range now police have said that that was in self-defense the officer himself apparently believed that his life was at risk and the life of his colleagues police had given a statement saying that the shooting was lawful and in cordons with guidelines a lot of people here are thinking though why that bullets was necessary as i've said we we've seen multiple ways that police have been able to disperse protesters in the past quitting pepper sprayed tear gas rubber bullets a lot of people here want to know why exactly but it was aimed at a protest. time reporter charlotte shell some poll for us in hong kong thank you

injuries have been reported and 3 families have been relocated. it has been exactly one year since the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey a u.n. investigation found what it called credible evidence linking saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon to the killing but a year later none of the masterminds has been brought to justice for the murder and western partners seem to have forgiven saudi arabia. a c.c.t.v. camera captured the last images of journalist jamal khashoggi he was walking into the saudi consulate in eastern ball where he would be brutally murdered what happened inside this building shocked the world. body is believed to have been dismembered and disposed of his remains have never been found. jamal khashoggi was an outspoken critic of the saudi leadership since 2017 he had lived in self-imposed

exile in the u.s. and was a columnist for the washington post after he was murdered saudi arabia initially hampered turkey's efforts to investigate but eventually riyadh admitted she had died in the concert at the state television spoke of an argument that had broken out with shock she being killed in the ensuing brawl. but the consulate building had been bugged by turkish intelligence that meant ankara had audiobook orderings of exactly what happened turkey also released c.c.t.v. footage of 15 saudi government agents writing in the stumble on the day of the killing and leaving just hours later among them a top adviser to saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmond despite the smiles the crown prince was coming under growing pressure as western allies asked questions then salman denied all involvement in the killing claiming road elements instead
2:16 pm
riyadh put 11 people on trial for the murder but a un inquiry later found what it called credible evidence linking the crown prince to the killing the u.n. official behind that report told e.w. riyadh's claim that it was a rogue operation doesn't hold water. it was a conductor than done by state officials say it used it pretty light upon state means and state resources the team that came into town boy used a private chat with diplomatic clearance. global condemnation the u.s. and many european nations slapped sanctions on some saudi officials but washington was reluctant to take things further we got in danger weapons sales to riyadh $450000000000.00 worth of things ordered from a very rich country saudi arabia. 600000 jobs maybe more than the.
2:17 pm
very very hurtful to this country if we said we're not going to sell or to use now one year on from jamal khashoggi is death it's almost as if nothing happened relations between saudi arabia and its western allies have largely normalized. well friends and rights activists are holding a memorial in istanbul outside the saudi consulate that's the place where jamal khashoggi killed and our correspondent yulia han is there for us can you tell us what's been happening where you are. while there is a memorial service for mr just a little further away from where i am it started at 114 local time marking the moment the right to walks into the building right behind me the saudi consulate a year ago and we all know he never emerged today the building is basically sealed
2:18 pm
off the lot of police and security around according to my information no one from the saudi state is present here today it's mostly human rights activists other journalists friends of his to the shock she ended his fiance who came together today to calmer memory mr bush. and to have what they call is a moment of on silence because they say this is exactly what his killers wanted to silence a man a journalist who had always refused to be silent to openly criticize the saudi kingdom one of the speakers today is the. midst of a fiance it's a particularly painful day for her because she doesn't have a grave to wisit his body as you mentioned has still not been found but later she is going to unveil a memorial statue in his name it's made from white marble i had a brief look at it and it reminded me actually of
2:19 pm
a gravestone so this is going to stay here very close to the saudi consulate as a reminder of what happened last year in this building you live this is a story as we remember escalated very quickly and you were following it from the beginning can you give us an idea of what it was like after that consulate a year ago. well you know the moment he walked into the building on october 2nd last year basically a crime story unfold that that many of us journalists who had been following the events saw it was to horror of the horrible horrific to be true actually a lot of crime scene investigators were here and then gruesome details of the in the sea geisha and surfaced as we know today he was suffocated with a plastic bag and then his body was dismembered by a forensic doctor all of this happened you have to know that while his fiancee had teach agenda's was waiting outside the consulate because he was just going in there
2:20 pm
to get some documents for the 2 of them to get married later we spoke to a teacher earlier this week she's still very shocked about what happened let's listen. no one could have imagined that the hatred for jamal could go so far that it would get him to. himself wouldn't afonso. he was a problem for the saudi rulers he was someone who said things they didn't want to hear. and. what can you tell us about the state of the investigation. well you know the u.n. investigation and the turkish investigation both concluded that this is likely an extrajudicial execution a hit shop and they're all credible to mohamed bin to the highest levels of the saudi leadership the saudis have long denied any involvement and mohammed mohammed
2:21 pm
bin samana earlier this week actually said in a t.v. interview that he's now accepting responsibility for the killing but he said he didn't order it we also asked the teacher about what she things about these remarks by mohamed bin some and let's listen to her. it sounds like a political maneuver to me these statements made at this particular time seem like an attempt to quell pressure from the public mohammed bin soundman said he accepts responsibility but at the same time he says he didn't know anything about it and in doing so he's trying to dodge responsibility. so we can see there for his fiance this is completely unresolved but why would jamal khashoggi have been considered such a threat by the saudis. well jim awfully shock to you was the royal family inside a tent critic he left for the u.s. in 2017 he was a regular contributor to the washington post
2:22 pm
a well known blogger somebody who openly criticize human rights violations in saudi arabia a well known mind envoys across the region and that potentially has gotten him into all of these troubles the people here clearly clearly say that his message today is louder than ever that the fact that they killed him actually turned him into a larger symbol for press freedom around the world our correspondent reporting for us there are outside of the saudi consulate in istanbul thank you. thank. you football now and in the champions league byron munich soared to a 7 to win against last season's runners up tottenham talum did take the lead early but it didn't last long byron fired back and went on to completely dominate the 2nd half with some stunning attacks striker robert love and dusty scored 2 as their
