secretary saiaid us presisident donald t trump has authorizezede drafting of very significant new sanctions against turkey. earlier in the program france we force chief foreign affairs editor rob parsons further explain to the u. s. government's role in this conflict. he gets some more more confusing little time really wrong we had mock espa aa warning the turks. not to go. any further but things will get complicated full move they did and now we have stephen roach in saying that president trump has already. marked out sanctions but is not giving the executive order to see them put into place just yet in other words they're waiting to see the giving the turks johns. to take some sort of action whatever that actually we don't know but remember you're wrong. donald trump said that if the turks deal off limits. the united states would take action it wasn't clear to anybody least of all it would seem donald trump without stage what off limits met. men's but the

house would reach that point now would donald trump having an opportunity to talk to his experts in to. those in the pentagon who proposed to this action right from the start i is being to sesee the what whiter ramifications of the withdrawal of those troops from the border area perhaps. the only timess going to really give us a proper lots s of the onlnly thi. next to ron state media is reporting that two missiles struck and damaged one of the nation's oil tankers. alleged incident happened friday morning in the red sea off the coast of saudi arabia. the circumstances remain murky saudi arabia has not commented or corroborated the explosion. last month more than half of saudi arabia's daily crude oil production was knocked out by an assault on facilities. us sprint blamed iran but tehran denies involvement. now oil prices had already been under pressure and friday's news sent prices spiking up again. during the program for more on this

story is fact tina about all austra she is a- non resident scholar at the middle east institute thank you so much for joining us here on france twenty four. for having me. there's still a lot mystery surrounding this incident but has iran said or even hinted at who they suspect is responsible. i'm gatee rununn state news media had just allegedly sent two missiles have hit the tanker but a and so farar it ses like investigative reporting banker trackers dot com. and has said that the but it's that it had received it not really indicatete that there is any evididence of any type of missie strike and not. there iss no smoke they'y're not explosions o be seen as so my guess is that there's probably an understanding aroround t this ie righght becauause t there is speculation that this attack either didn't happen at all or

if it did it was very small but what. wouldn't tehran have to gain from m faking this. i mean it it hasn't it hasn't records while spreading misinformation this is not the first time that this happened. in april and the happiness one. yeah allegedly there on you use the media asset that the bustle of the tact and that the engine was flooded none of that had happened so. i t tnk it i it's probabably have you know they probably where just aroundd in in the reded sea. v very close o saudi arabiaa s something mightt have happened a and the conclusion might h have been you know you k know letet's letet'sy might hahave been panic on board the shipip let's say and thehey werere quick to o deduce that ts was a strike. out when in fafa it could havave been justt an internal e error b bause it sees that their set began according to sources online and it's on its way. to make it straight t o

the e han. this did occurur it s this strike you as the type of retaliation that saudi arabia would carry out because it does seseem rather small compared to last month's's strikes on saudi oil facilities. perhaps not not this way and not near its water is already a arabia would stand to lose if it's going t to. pollute it see and it's going toto cost acting ability on the red sea where you know this. becausee the prices are insurance to go off on on on shipipping so i think and it's already a being who do this it would be shedding of.f. arts and i know thatt many assume all t e most ratational actctor but it's extremelyy complicated when it comemes to its own e erancend although entrance and y you know trying to gainin. perhaps the most in favor by remaining on.

bucket april twenty eleven and he had have evaded capture up until now we don't know how many times. you've been able to get out of the countntry. he's now fifty seven years old he killed his entire family. at made up of a his wife agnes he was forty eight and his four children off at twenty one thomas eighteen and sixteen. then what thirteen years of age and they had all been drugged and shops and their bodies were not found f for two weeks. they were discovered at buried in the back garden of that home in mills in front. and they had been cut up into pieces so it really is an extremely grisly tile understandable why. so many people in france wanted to know where this man was. and now his identity was a party given away by his fingerprints because he's actually changed. according to the latest report he's changed his appearance. using plastic surgery so he looks very different he's of the traveling on a different name and that's how he's evaded

capture up until now. but his fingerprints were taken a glove cutter apples and it was flooded out because he was. a much w wanted criminals you're a poll had a- alas. for him. french investigators are currently traveling to. apple. to ensure it is right and it does look. and people delay why equipment and quick climb with which to dispose the bodies. dispose of the bodies before he even carried out the lettuce and heat andnd cool his wife's work. clearly extremely collars anand cold hearted. to say that she was sick to explain why she wasn't in there were multiple reports of his whereabouts over the years. but nobody knew exactly where he'd gone and it does look. hopefully as though

the mystery is coming to an end for those who are. close to the deployment delivered asamike soa movie incredible that he was able to o even withh plastic surgery if. they have the gall to come in and out of the cocountry like that really incredible. and the next or even looking at is the nobel peace prize awarded today we talked a little bit earlier about the winner. ethiopia's prime minister but in fact the bookmakers favourite was the teenage climate change activists greta tune berg so what happened what's the discrepancy there. it's an interesting one this because when you read the articles ahead of the announcement all the acts but said they didn't believe it would be great to tune back but well the bookmakers sat. she was the odds on favorite now newsweek has a very soon cynical take. on white at she may not have got the price. i'm not sure that this one's true i have to say and- they say that the committee run by no. way one of the world's biggest oil and natural gas exporters snap time

clearly the implication being that at. the reason they didn't give it to high is because she of the campaign against that kind of thing. i in the washington post has a forma see will take on exactly why she didn't get the nobel peace prize. and i'm fundamentallyly s because there's no scientific consensus that there's a link between climate change and complex. i which would really giving her peace prize something of a nonsense i'm climate campaigners have been recognized in the pasta only the nobel. peace prize committee i'm but they said that they now. want to stick closer to the original v values all of alfredd. know about his original vision which is that it should go to someone who has advanced the abolition or reduction of standing armies. so yes no surprise a tool for the expense but the bookie suddenly record nothing on this one. and all of the focus on he didn't get it house raw the stolen. a bit of it. the focus away from the man who did actually winin at the ethiopian prime minister abby i met ali. and he very much fits the

profile in terms of what he has managed to achieveve in just eighteen months in office. and he seeks to achieve peace and international corporations at the committee. and his decisive initiative to resolve a two decade long border conflilict with neighghboring arab try it s really the thing. that sealed the deal for him on this. i'm looking at this tweet this kind of sums up exactly why he's been on it in this way this woman says watching families mine included reunite. without meeting the fat country for the first time in twenty plus is he did that. and these images here sure just what happens when two countries able to reunite. closely knit countries just a small group of seven the number of course it was so much more than a border. out while the two countries but fundamentally at war with one another. i'm a very. polite response from at the at a command. he said a- decision. which nobel committee my deepest gratitude to all who committed a working for peace. this award is to o ethiopia. and

the african continent we shall prosper in. i'm a james with media watch thanks so much for a look at those big stories. that are hot online and on social media. and i'm going to take a quick break but don't go away because i'll be back in just a few minutes. more news from around the world
