with me in a day or two to a very warm welcome to the program. saudi arabia has finally admitted that a journalist who went missing over a fortnight in turkey died in what they describe as a fistfight inside its consulate in istanbul riyadh has already sacked two senior officials and arrested eighteen others linked to the case but german chancellor angela merkel is demanding further clarification from the saudis over what happened press freedom group reporters without borders is also calling for sustained international pressure to establish how the incident played out the explanation provided by riyadh was swiftly dismissed as improbable and sparked an intense backlash from journalists and politicians as well it also contradicts earlier claims that she left the consulate shortly after arriving there there are calls now for the gulf maliki to bear full responsibility for what happened u.s. president donald trump says he is satisfied with the latest account. the

discussions that took place with the citizen jamal khashoggi during his presence in the consulates of the kingdom in istanbul by the suspects did not go as required and developed in a negative way to a fight in a quarrel between some of them and the citizen jamal khashoggi liberal aggravated to lead to his death and their attempt to conceal and cover what happened. i do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't really sure we view the investigation. i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen. if the nine year old and jamal khashoggi had lived in the u.s. for the past year working as a washington post columnist is thought years prior he had been close to the side in monaco but was later critical of crown prince mohammed bin policies she had also drawn attention to these rights and the war. he entered the saudi consulate in

istanbul on october second to pick up a document for his upcoming wedding shortly after his disappearance that had video and audio records of the genesis alleged killing by a side a hit team that still hasn't been made public when the first garnered global attention president trump threatened riyadh with severe punishment but that appears not to include scrapping the multi-billion dollar arms contracts between the gulf pollicie and washington saudi arabia has been a great ally but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't. hundred billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of the border russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending

a hundred billion dollars on the injury or things that create jobs like jobs. for this country columnist for the israeli newspaper ha'aretz gideon levy says the saudis weak explanation isn't relevant. one single lonely person we know he entered the consulate by himself nobody in company team he was not armed so the whole story is so far fetched i don't think the who one can take this seriously but what worries me much more is the american reaction i mean in this than the president except see it and that's the power or often arm the loaf one hundred ten billion dollars one hundred ten billion dollars can buy any troops kinsale any lie i'm not sure that's going to pay any price for it the world is far too cynical that is going underground the host afshin rattansi spouter friend of jamal khashoggi who

says the genesis expected to be arrested. mark's actually always insisted until the day he died and i had a discussion with them only hours before he disappeared he insisted he wasn't an opposition member against the royal family he was just a critic of some of the policies adopted by the crown prince he was very anxious that the country was taking a turn into what is worse he was he was afraid or he was concerned about its future that's why he wrote what he wrote of he was never a member of the opposition he knew if he went back. he would have been arrested and probably sent behind bars like that like some of his other friends. around the fifteen hundred balance in place offices have called in sick on the last they're protesting having to work extra hours caused by staff shortages as well as

reforms to that pensions. to the police to the police motorcycle users from. brussels is reinforced if somebody is looking at all of them called in disabled obviously as we found out the prime minister even had to call in the army he. moved to the city to go all the police or severely understaffed and we've been talking about that for many months now the interior minister is also mulling reforms that break actively be an attack on the status of police officers.

thank you so more just recently another police officer was killed in the. last week and two more were badly injured in a shootout people didn't hesitate to open the foreign office. we ask questions but we don't get answers they say we're lazy and distribution secretly with the minister has no facts to back up. that happens all the time and we're sick and tired of it.

at least twenty eight have been killed and one hundred injured in several blasts that rocked the afghan capital during saturday's parliamentary election local journalist has the details. it was quite tense day for afghan security because of provinces. they were highly attacked and there have been. one thousand eight hundred security threats many of them have been prevented by afghan security forces hundred and ninety two attacks carried out by militants across the country that killed dozens of people including civilians and police forces also in national army members the deadliest was in kabul as well as in north and battle on province in kabul a suicide bomber targeted at polling center in northen part of the city and

killed over a dozen people including police forces most of the attacks were actually not very very big they were magnetic bombs planted explosives. especially at the gates or nearby the polling stations and taliban did claim responsibility saying that they have had it for four hundred attacks across the country they have been saying that the afghan government is not a legitimate government so they do not recognize the afghan government as a legitimate government that's why they claim that this is a puppet government and people should not. justify to empower the process that is according to the taleban is an american or a western process we still have to wait and see what will happen next because the

election process has been extended by the independent election commission for the next day which is tomorrow. people were hopeful the how the very big turn of the morning became an hour before the election started but later after a couple of hours when there was a deadly there were several technical issues the results of the. election. staff were not visible. many hours in many polling stations that's why. you know during the large time we many people actually went home. to central london now where over six hundred thousand protesters have gathered to demand a second referendum the march was organized by the people's vote campaign who say

this protest could be the biggest and he brags that action yet some people in trouble from all around the country to take part in a rally and a separate probe regs it was held in her a gate in the north of england led by former u.k. leader for arch british prime minister theresa may has dismissed calls for a second referendum on bribes it however some m.p.'s have voiced support for the protests the u.k. voted to leave the e.u. by a narrow margin twenty sixteen with the deadline for london's official divorce from brussels set for march next year. well we'll discuss this further now with ben harris twenty he's the chairman of the conservative u.k. think tank the group thanks for coming on to the program and. this protest that we've seen has been described as the biggest in the u.k. since the iraqi war will the government take notice now that i mean we're looking at nearly seven hundred thousand people protesting and voicing their concerns will

the government take notice will they allow the british public to have their say on the final deal. well firstly those figures of six hundred thousand not what the metropolitan police is saying that's what the organizers of the process to saying we know that tens of millions of pounds of flooded in from people at george soros to fund these kinds of things but until such a time as in excess of seventeen point four million people come out in protest i think we can assume that britain's largest exercise in democracy in its history the e.u. referendum still stands. then i think than it does that mean you're dismissing the people who protested today. because those hundred absolutely yes because yes because a democracy doesn't work in that way and democracy works on the basis of it's not on the basis of how many people turn out to certain protests i mean we had the last major outpouring of process in london was actually during dawn trumps visit the

polls at the time suggested the majority of the british people were supportive of the president of the united states being able to visit the united kingdom so it's unclear what these protests proves they they proved that. if these external organizations and individuals like george soros how millions of pounds into a campaign you can get several hundred thousand people to turn out but as i say we had an exercise in proper democracy a vote which which occurred just over two years ago and the majority of the british people voted to leave the european union so in no way does any protest trump that and i think my question to those who a calling for a second referendum is exactly how often do they wish to have a referendum on our membership of the european union every year every six months or three months i mean it's ludicrous we've had people vote but people voted and now

it's time to the government to get on with it but these people protesting a saying that they had to vote yes it was a narrow win but they feel that they've been lied to band and they got the right to fail like that they think that's why they're on the streets and you know for you to dismiss those thousands and thousands of voices that is that fair to those people. well but those people and people like george soros are dismissing seventeen point four million voices which as i say trump any amount of people that you turn out in the process which is not a democratic vote what i would say to people who feel they've been lied to is that the circumstances of the e.u. referendum vote was held was very clear we was to leave the european union to leave the single market and to leave the customs union and that's what breaks it is continue to campaign for we haven't had a brics government which david cameron called for when he left office we haven't

had a brics or to prime minister we haven't had a brics to cabinet and seventy percent of parliament is may not be made up of people that voted for remain so and in terms of implementing what brics it is they sit for we would very much like to do that but we're not in government and how likely though is it then we have to look at this very quickly ben is that the u.k. will leave you without any bail whatsoever because that wasn't part of the promise was it. well again as i say bracks it is i'm not in government so we are unable to deliver what what we set out was out of this during the press referendum we have to remain a prime minister we have a seventy percent remain cabinet and seventy percent remain polled and i do think that needs to change but it won't change before the article fifty deadline i think a new deal bracks it is the most likely that circumstance we haven't been sending negotiators that believe in bracks and that's what we need to do and i think eventually we will get a support and prime minister barak supporting cabinet but it's yet to happen ok ben

harris county chairman of a conservative think tank that by great thanks very much for coming on to the program but. crimea is still trying to come to terms with the last shooting at a college that the story after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development that only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very.

north korea's history this is seventy years we are one of the very few countries that has seventy years of diplomatic relationship with them we are. nuclear free country this policy is working for us. you know this. situation. much better to their security then the. nuclear program. the program in crimea grieving friends and relatives have set their final goodbyes to the twenty victims of a gunman who opened fire on fellow students at a college in the city of catch but amid the pain stories have emerged of harrowing

quick thinking actions which prevented more deaths. courage is a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school or college shooting or thought they did but some hatreds evidently buried too deep because i stalk a few it's so common music a common tragedy our town is really small everyone knows each other the blast and the following rampage were catastrophic injury and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and styria as teenagers and stuff fled for their lives.

in that chaos heroes when they just just my friend manning feen was there he helped his friend corner who was injured in the blast he covered him to shield him from the bullets they're both in hospital now one has a shopping wound and winning team is paralyzed nobody knows whether he will be able to walk again but from the horrors of this massacre some good has emerged selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool but it got the better of course if you're caught that they were personally is students when this happened these guys were thrown rocks a good sign they were trying to distract him because behind his back there was a group of kids mostly girls trying to escape so the boys decided to divert the suit is the time soon to help the girls these four boys are dead now.

so he didn't. my cern girl i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people bleeding land on benches it was awful. about. immutability mines i saw a guy being attacked i try to help him but it was too late then i saw my friend something goes wrong with his locks he couldn't walk so i dragged him all the way to the fans. the mushy it is now you will never know every accept heroism and kindness that took place last now in the confusion the adrenaline the modesty and in death but it wasn't just the students it was also bystanders volunteers and good samaritans. said i work nearby when i heard what happened i came here to help anyone i could see

there were people without limbs just lying on the street everyone tried to help more just to get more of. when the wounded began to overwhelm local clinics the medical students jumped in to help. them but when it happened we were at our medical college we were in class when a teacher stormed in and said they need people to help with the injured so we rushed to the hospital we had no time to even put our lab coats on we started to take people out of the ambulances for emergency help people just kept on coming for several hours it's fair to say that when the killer struck the stuff the students were utterly un put that is also fair to say that no amount of readiness in the world would prepare any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria or mania blitzing through the car doors but even stalled.

confusion panic fear with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life live. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil. peace for good. and for me after i agent who worked in the u.s. state of minnesota has pleaded guilty to leaking classified information to the media he says he wanted to make a difference but the court found his leaks about alleged abuse of power a threat to national security daniel hoare can say explains. a veteran of the agency an impeccable service record three years from retirement now charged tried and found guilty for whistle blowing the only black asians in the f.b.i.

as minneapolis field office to a real war he grew uneasy over his seventeen year career he says he saw discrimination racial profiling rule bending and abuse of power by the agency he felt the public needed to know i truly wanted to make a difference and never intended to put anyone in danger the f.b.i. and caught saw things differently tried under the espionage act he was branded a traitor who put national security at risk he isn't the first whistleblower to face the wrath of war thora te's edward snowden chelsea manning are two of the best known in recent years but this case was slightly different terry allbery was charged with the leak of just two documents to the media and retaining another focusing on methods used by the f.b.i. supporters claim the only damage caused was not to national security but the egos of all thora t's the u.s. attorney general has made things clear amongst the crackdown on leaks and

whistleblowers the risk of exposing perceived wrongdoing and injustice is high. never we are conducting perhaps the most aggressive campaign against leaks in department history crimes like the one committed by the defendant in this case will not be tolerated they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and punished and it seems for now whatever the motive alleged racism or spying lawbreaking or corruption whistleblowers larkhall bori will face the tough choice of trusting their conscience or risking everything. what is happening with mr allbery is in a chilling effect throughout the entire f.b.i. and throughout the entire federal bureaucracy that if you leak you're going to go to prison and you've got to go to prison for a very long time any type of harsh punishment all is being others in a similar situation twice before they had the question is.

is the actions of the f.b.i. in this current troubled ministration going to be something that people can be quiet about all of the actions in the end all the other federal bureaucracies going to be able to be silent given the large amount of corruption that is going on. the top stories to get to check us out online column and of course across social media i'll be back at the top of the hour the first hit on. getting on the ground. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

cranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know to me. people here in the slowdown so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal with. i did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military order for years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the

greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we call here on that and we lie when we say that we write blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lying. i'm after time to do what you're going underground on the seventh anniversary of the nato backed killing of more coming up on the show who is to raise a major talk about human rights in the case of jamal khashoggi a lifelong friend of a saudi dissident and fight for the liberation of palestine as i'm telling me on crimes against humanity and up to tourism a's mess of valence was founded by your of what now is the bugging of your phone we go to san antonio in texas to talk to

award winning convict better brown hounded by the f.b.i. for rejecting a brave new world that's all coming up in the show but first today's seventy is since the leader of africa's richest defacto nation was killed with u.k. backing it was the reaction of the woman who could right now be president of the usa we came we saw he died. clinton nato nation media and to resume support at the end of libya's government even as they profess to love this towering african hero. no god. what. a hit there is no reason whatsoever. why we should have any hesitation. about. it that the human rights as being demanded in south africa but if the tories and

liberals helped kill mandela's comrade in arms seven years ago today that all appears forgotten in today's house of commons aside from bracks it no one m.p. did feel that u.k. and israeli oppression this week should be condemned by terrorism a pm cues well the prime minister make it clear to the prime minister of israel that this is occupied territory that these are to refute protected people who say forcible rape removal would be as the united nations has stated constitute a war for a car michael didn't mention u.k. backing and tourism a julie said nothing about this week's garza dead referring to question one particular settlement once again cool on the israeli government not to go ahead with its pound demolished village inclusion in creating its school and displace its residents just a bit of displacement not more than two hundred dead since the great return much began no mention of u.k. arms sales to israel that reached a record high just before prince william's visit to his.
