a week ago security video has been obtained by a turkish t.v. channel which shows. entering the saudi consulate in istanbul he hasn't been seen since with the latest here's our gusta. new details and accusations are emerging with the disappearance of a dissident journalist after he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul days ago we saw c.c.t.v. footage apparently showing jamal the shoghi fierce critic of saudi arabia entering the consulate new footage released by turkish media shows a black vehicle with tinted windows entering the premises of the consulate shortly after and leaving just minutes later the predominant theory echoed by both turkish and foreign media is that he has either been kidnapped or murdered and that saudi arabia is using the confusion to shift blame the use anonymous social media

accounts to blame turkey and imply that turkey is behind the disappearance of shogun they are trying to say we murdered him but we would put the blame on another country meaning turkey saudi arabia has since allowed both journalists and investigators into the consulate to show that. isn't there days after his disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him leaving who's responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate responsible for that you have cameras that of course you do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove it the b.b.c. interviewed mr just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia. of a list of a friend who did. commit in the towards to be at least to make you feel as you

little mr shoghi who has more than a million followers on twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post the paper said that it would be a monstrous and unfathomable active he has been murdered and with this much attention in the case where bound to find out more sooner rather than later. all right twenty two senators have written to donald trump calling for an investigation into the case the us president said on wednesday he had spoken to saudi officials but didn't give any further information rod still denies that playing any role in the journalists disappearance but it's facing mounting pressure with politicians in washington suggesting there will be repercussions if saudi arabia is found to have been responsible demanding everything that we want to see what's going on here that's a bad situation this will be

a game changer for me regarding the kingdom and this is serious at some point those questions. turn into actions. rather than what the answer is yes it's time for the united states to rethink our military political and economic relationship with saudi arabia to goes down the road worried about going to. continue will be met with contempt. so let's cross a live now to former u.s. diplomat jim john jim you're someone we always want to talk to you in the situations like this come forward because it seems like a diplomatic a quagmire because saudi arabia has been an american ally for decades in the past the u.s. has failed to take riad to task over rights violations will be different this time if the saudis are shown to be responsible for the disappearance i mean could this actually market turning point in u.s. saudi relations. well given the how loud the voices are from both sides of the aisle and from the administration it seems that that could be and i really am

somewhat puzzled why that is the case i mean let's let's be clear saudi arabia is usually immune from criticism from the american establishment they can destroy you they can cut people's heads off they can support salafi terrorist groups all over the world and suddenly over one journalists suddenly everybody's outraged we discover that saudi arabia is a is a repressive. horrible regime that kills people something doesn't smell right here sean there's something else behind this that is causing that kind of reaction maybe it's because he's with the washington post of course that's that's part of the ruling establishment but it just seems very strange to me that you take the case of one man and i'm not trying to minimize that but put in the context of everything else all the bloody murder of the saudis of god away with for decades and suddenly suddenly it's a big issue so how likely are we to see concrete actions that like sanctions are something that will take the saudis to task i mean will the u.s.

be willing to isolate a key strategic partner potentially well you know it incurs its own costs there as well. well i think of there are a couple things one is if there is some indication of saudi guilt in mr disappearance or or perhaps murder i think that from what we're hearing there will be some effort to move forward with something significant from the american side. i think that would depend on what i was alluding to earlier though is what lies behind this maybe we're putting the cart before the horse here it's not that he could cause a change in the american relationship with saudi arabia but maybe there are some other reasons behind the scenes why some people here want to change our relationship with saudi arabia and this latest outrage is the catalyst for all right i'm sure you and i could talk for hours on this if you don't mind if we can keep you all on the line or down the line rather not right now but as the situation

develops jim john just former u.s. diplomat thanks for being with us here. all right as brett kavanaugh hears his first arguments as a u.s. supreme court justice in the bitterness and anger of his opponents over his appointment remains as raw as ever as he came up and takes a look at how it could have long lasting political repercussions after a great deal of controversy brett kavanaugh has been confirmed on to the u.s. supreme court is that justice now as if all that controversy weren't enough we now have donald trump throwing some fuel on the fire on behalf of our nation i want to apologize. to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure that's after civility disappeared as certain elements just wanted to stop brett kavanaugh in the twitter verse things got particularly ugly a late show writer boasted about having ruined kavanagh's life whatever happens i'm

just not bieber and brett kavanaugh and i kill you. and children stop raping them and stop starving them mr clooney actually got detained for that your favorite t.v. or music stars are all over the place with their movements campaigns charities some end up in the news for their political messages more often then for what they're famous in the first place and damn it within a matter of weeks society is not working the way you used to think me to for a sec sexual abuse has been institutionalized in this country i think women i think survivors i think men are are not going to allow this to continue and we're going to take back the house and maybe even the senate some of their efforts might crack you up a bit and what about free stuff about gender equality yeah you know it's winter and how can. we like. i'm so embarrassed

right now where they meant to be funny. for most of the word and i will have mexican they. read. but it all seems to be from the bottom of their heart white man's. right. to. create propaganda as you. would. when the lines between politics and showbiz are blurring for good it seems just look at them. i think you're great kid and a best friend. back at. you're very handsome i think. if you thank you thank you very much thanks very much we'll see you tomorrow well. you will.

burn obama. oh is that. while. it's only natural that you know who is in charge at the oval office the fun is in the make it sergeant. you're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired we knew he was. when he walked in. academics from around the world are rounding on israel after the country denied entry to a u.s. student the twenty two year old girl had been granted the right to enter but was detained at an israeli airport after being questioned about her political activities and her palestinian grandparents are his balls clear as to tales. this is the closest we can get with the comrades shooting going in the international

hate hole which is just behind me for more than a week a twenty children old american students are all the same has been held here share rife with a valid student visa but was stopped up border guards and asked if she had if it even a member of the boycott disinvestment and sanctions movement the media is now she said she hadn't but according to israel's strategic a phase ministry she was an active member and because of this in line with and is raiding the old it was inactive last year she has been misused and treat that goal states that any foreigners he topic to knowingly participate in boycotts against israel can be refused entry and there already fifteen people who have been denied entry under the civil lawsuit filed an appeal in the israeli judicial system but the court ruled that who refused all of entry was valid she then followed a second appeal and the israel district court is due to begin hearing this on thursday these raids have repeatedly stated that she is not being detained and is

free to return to the united states and in each time she could fly back to the united states whenever she likes she decided to appeal and has been held in the facility for those refused and three the longest says not only was she not a member of the b.d.s. she would not have applied to starting out in this rain if it did make institution if she was she's also promised not to do so in future now out of the israeli universities people knew that where i wanted to she was supposed to study a mosque just to green in human rights has also come out in support of her and a number of university kids have written the letter to the strategic ministry saying that if they default to open fainted from entering this would only bode make it if we feel the country this is improper feel as though from pose as a minister in this case or these homes that could be. very seriously. it will not register voters or universities because if they participated didn't know the

demonstration only if they did the so if they do this they would have to reconsider the decision to come here and then on the talk of free to many people who find it so that a polish or so that would stop cooperating with this right because they want to call for it to the country that it meets so that. enjoys a free exchange of ideas we this isn't restricted it's rejected doing that and i think it's really academics ought in this case. to take very extreme means including a strike to the decisions being overly the case against highlights the ongoing discussion about how israel handles critics against a point to say you see outside tel aviv the boycott divestment and sanctions movement and that laura al qassam is accused of supporting is a global global campaign that was formed back in two thousand and five its main goal is to help palestinians to end israeli oppression washington has responded saying that israel has the right to decide who enters the country and who doesn't

but we are aware of her case our embassy is providing consular access as we would to all american citizens we value freedom of expression ultimately it is up to the government of israel to decide who it wants to let into the country or more news after a break this art international stay with us. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be rich eight point

is custom union as miss may herself to date has at least rejected staying in those opposing the staying in the customs union do so primarily because they prefer the u.k. to be able to enter into bilateral trade relations with other nations and remaining in the e.u. customs union would prohibit such bilateral u.k. trade agreements a spokesperson for the prime minister played down prospects for a deal next week when ms may will meet with the leaders at a summit and we have reports over the past that things are going well only be stalled or stymied by one issue or another so it remains to be see what will take place regardless of what.
