in the top stories of the week just minutes after blasting off and hurtling toward space the rocket function forced the quick thinking crew to abandon their mission and face the nailbiting plunged back to earth. was two weeks on the still no answer as to what's happened to a prominent journalist who vanished after entering the saudi embassy in istanbul turkey claims he was murdered something riyadh denies. and the german chancellor angela merkel's conservative allies in bavaria they risk losing

their majority in regional elections started the far right in the greens make his story again. for joining us this evening you're watching the weekly here on out into an. investigation underway into what went wrong during a failed launch of a so you space rocket two man crew narrowly escaped disaster on thursday just minutes into that flight. q. right i know you did. you.

say.

we were at the launch site doing live coverage of so i use m s tens blast off into the column of america nights and so we do not see that there is a change in plan. for. almost two weeks since the mysterious disappearance of a prominent saudi journalist and there's still no definitive answer as to what happened to foreign ministers from the u.k. germany and france they've issued a joint statement calling for a quote credible investigation into the case urging the saudis to provide a detailed response. jamal khashoggi was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second no one's heard from him since turkey hasn't officially accused of being involved but some reports do claim its intelligence services have evidence gee was tortured and killed saudi arabia strongly denies the accusations and as offered help in investigating the case or the lack of information that has

prompted multiple media reports some news outlets have claimed that the u.s. intercepted saudi discussions of a plan to capture the journalist claiming the saudi crown prince ordered an operation to lure and detain because georgy other say officials haven't already a recording of the journalists murder said to be recorded on the smartwatch though many say that's highly unlikely. as mine. where is journalist. what happened to him. for an entire week nobody has been able to answer that question and vesta gaiters on the ground who might be the closest to solving the riddle believe he could have been brutally murdered behind the walls of the saudi consulate in istanbul alleged details of how it was done and clued sending over a fifteen man hit squad from the kingdom to make sure the man's dead anchor was shocked something so horrendous could have happened in istanbul

a prosecutor in istanbul is investigating the issue there is both a security investigation and an intelligence one it is extremely thorough the news that this incident took place in the country i knew to move through a long time so i still hold out hope good willing we will not find ourselves in a situation we do not want to riyadh says it's got nothing to do with it all the claims are absolute blogs an official at the consulate general of the kingdom of saudi arabia in istanbul dismissed the report by reuters which cited turkish officials the saudi citizen jamal khashoggi was killed in the consulate in istanbul he fishel strongly denounce these baseless allegations and express his down to that they came from turkish officials they were informed of the investigation or authorized to comment on the issue the saudi kingdom is transparency record has been poor to say the least but in a rare display of openness there officials even invited warders on

a tour around the consulate. jamal khashoggi lives and works in the u.s. but to obtain a license to get married he had to see saudi officials has definitely been to the consulate twice on september the twenty eighth and when he disappeared now here's what's crucial mr has a right. it's about the saudi government and it's not exactly glowing actually had been worried something bad could happen to him before the second visit to the consulate the journalists left his cell phone with his fiance with instructions on what to do if he didn't come out soon the woman called turkish police four hours later when jamal was nowhere to be seen saudi officials say his stay at the compound was very short they were sure the journalist vanished once he stepped outside now they're looking for him too mr his fiance is full of hope he's not been

killed but kidnapped rather the story's been picked up by media all over the world one of the newspapers jamal wrote for the washington post came out with a blank column where they were supposed to print his piece but that hasn't helped there's been no trace of the man in washington says it's worried about the incident but it was not the u.s. president who voiced concern first some u.s. senators call for tough action if saudi involvement is confirmed if we find though that they were complicit or directors of the way. over the edge of what goes. this is serious we need to get the facts and i know that's startling proposition for the united states congress that we should get the facts before we act if this did happen it is increasingly likely that something bad happened to this man at the hands of the saudi government has contempt for us. disrespectful to.

the mall president trump promised to punish saudi officials if their involvement is proven but also stressed his desire to protect america's most billion dollar business deals with the gulf kingdom. terrible disgusting about that if that were the case so we're going to have to see we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment if we don't like it and we don't like it even a little bit but as to whether or not we should stop one hundred ten billion dollars from being spent in this country knowing they have four or five alternatives two very good alternatives that would not be acceptable to be. tromped is. you know his attitude is as business when i think it affects a little bit relationship between the united states and nicole flop it doesn't affect where well because the problem is that now americans wants to do something against russia and iran and turkey in the middle east and they need. to be on

a gulf countries and do you need some money and i think it you know doesn't change anything. is very important to the u.s. in terms of the reserve status of the dollar in terms of the petro dollar is very they're tied in there tied in hand in glove with them i really don't think anything is going nothing is going to happen the maybe people will be calling for something to happen nothing is going to happen. and this week the announcement of another high profile departure from the trumpet ministration on tuesday the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley took many by surprise when she revealed she was stepping down is a look back for you at her time at the global organization. to the united. against all enemies foreign and domestic against all enemies.

i will not shut up rather i will respectfully speak some hard truths. the dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war the assad regime and its enablers russia and iran have a playbook for this war it's a playbook of death. it's one more example of the united nations doing more harm than good the european union has this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult to the united states is locked and loaded and if war comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroyed.

america will put our embassy in jerusalem that is what the american people want us to do and it is the right thing to do. now the united states is respected countries may not like what we do but they were special. counsel. in the various election and chancellor merkel's allies looks up for major losses with a warm up after this break. you

cannot operate as united nations this is not just wouldn't but u.n. d.p. world health organization and other international organizations like the international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like gaza with pragmatic cooperation with the locals all routines which are hamas in this case hero or has been for most of the last few years.

back. in bavaria have inflicted a heavy blow to chancellor back will schiavo like handing the christian social union its worst election result for decades exit polls suggest it will now lose its parliamentary majority in the region with just thirty seven percent of the vote the greens however on track for a historic results and they'll become the very second major political force of the far right to gain nearly eleven percent meaning that they'll enter parliament for the first time in what has been a hotly contested election. the

regional election officer with the big losers such is the left and liberal policies each of them taking less than five percent of the vote. breaks down the implications of a potential shakeup in german politics. and they all tend to fit him in the election party and the results are showing heavy losses the system party the c s c especially compared with the last election this year seeing these top dominance head in the region if

a variance of the second world war these to be unthinkable that they could get anything less than the majority on sunday this majority and surely this is a big blow to them and cold so it's good news safe for the air days events of the regional parliament the fence times one day a member i spoke say said that he was happy with their face progress today it's well it's a great success and took so now after going to start european parliament and all the others parliaments of the country also the. dog and you see here is a celebration and big party this is the end of the old fashioned parties and there we are living in a front of a century it is. is now the time for bluebonnet is what i have to so we are. the party of tomorrow now this will say bring in another problem the problem of it forming a coalition now the c.s.u. been vocal about not caring when they asked a will of the greens who came second in the dairy and prime ministers who say you just said that they'll be no tilts with day to day but it does look like the bases

have been moving away from the centrist policies to the left and the price and it's still the pages have been pushing the party if they choose such as immigration some people say that the c.s. sida will see both might be to blame for the polls i see how it's been arguing with mikkel and even this issue facing the mike the crisis and how schools negative press around chimney and beyond saying should he stay or should he go now a loss to the c.s.u. could put the government in a fall in the top position the only two possible government instability. the us mid-term elections are less than a month away now the latest polls suggest there is everything to play for with the democrats enjoying only a marginal lead over their republican rivals scalable and takes a look at how the traditional campaign rulebook is being torn up in the current political climate i may not agree with what you say but i shall defend to the death your right to say it now that used to be the favorite quotation of americans but

not anymore civility is passe just ask hillary clinton you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for what you care about if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and or the senate that's when civility can start again remember back when everyone hailed this motto when they go low we go high grade well now barack obama's former attorney general has adjusted it just a little machine says that you know when they go low you don't. know. you know i'm going to go low we keep it right. and some sectors of the u.s. public are pretty clearly ready for battle.

let. me. disagree. some republicans are now warning that the chaos could turn deadly i fear that there's going to be an assassination i really worry this somebody is going to be too and that those who are ratcheting up the conversation they have to realize they bear some responsibility if this enervates to violence after the senator's personal information was released online his family is on edge you know i felt incredibly threatened and frightened and i had been frightened when rand left for d.c. that monday because you know the new message is get up in their face get in people's face but republicans are also out for blood to the democrats every come to extreme too dangerous to cover they've gone wacko you

have match ups to an arsonist and you don't give power to an angry left wing mob and that's what the democrats i think it was. was so civility just forget it it's likely that even after the midterm elections americans aren't just going to get over it divisions are getting deeper and r.t. new york. as part of the midterm campaigning the clintons are about to set out on some suspect it could be a precursor to hillary preparing for another the shot at the white house. if you're looking to get up. with bill or hillary clinton you're in luck you know hillary clinton are going on tour thirteen city tour with former president bill clinton former secretary of state hillary clinton.

america is great because america is good. coming up in may twenty nineteen around the time that twenty twenty presidential contenders are expected to start announcing that plans to run for the white house. she does not look presidential she doesn't have to stamina stamina tremendous stamina for every job i think about trump my good allergic. to the basket of deplorable she's guilty is out what was his response and there was a lot to. be rather have a puppet as president or no props a day where you have the right.
