adiz there's pressure to get them out these assassinations of been revealed by this immorality group and we're going to see more fish years on the ground between us law and its supporters who are a key part of the saudi u.a.e. coalition and that actually is going to this story could actually change the dynamics of the war in yemen i think that's what's significant here that's really incredible and you know one of the things but but jumped out to be in the story too is the idea that ok you have u.s. citizens former you know ex-military cia. and israeli sound and israelis you know when they're going over they're not under the cover of the united states this wasn't a mercenary group bought by the united states and sent over these this is guys bought by a foreign entity the u.a.e. that raises more crime questions because you know when you hear of assassination attempts on political leaders and clerics and things of that nature that these guys did nor admitting to even in the article. you know is there a real possibility that someone could bring war crimes against them give them a good ou

so with mercenaries assassination programs and war crimes on the docket i think it sounds like a good day to start watching the hawks. it looks like. it's. like you know what i got. was that we. are watching the harps i am tired robot and joining me that they discuss these mercenaries is one of the only. journalist i'm so you're out of a great zone project max thank you for coming on the day this is a hell of an interesting fascinating story that we're only now kind of getting given the history of mercenary use in the war on terror and the cruelty of the yemeni war does this kind of marriage of the two at all surprised as well i mean this is actually kind of an unusual story given a complex political relationships of the party and the u.a.e. the u.a.e. first of all hired this group through a palestinian figure named mohammed dahlan who is basically a problem project of the cia he was supposed to be the strong man who would rule gaza before hamas won elections in the gaza strip and took a centrally assume control in two thousand and six was a rival of hamas and mahmoud abbas who contro

these and the saudis and then the emirates go ahead and carry out this assassination campaign because of a lot of factors the a slice and the people in the south in general in yemen who are sunni are getting tired of seeing these foreign invaders come in and take over their sea parts sea ports like the moralities there is pressure to get them out these assassin. nations have been revealed by this immorality group and we're going to see more fish years on the ground between us law and its supporters who are a key part of the saudi u.a.e. coalition and that actually is going to this story could actually change the dynamics of the war in yemen and that's what's significant here that's really incredible and you know one of the things that are good but jumped out to be in the story too is the idea that ok you have u.s. citizens former you know ex-military cia. and israeli sound and israelis you know when they're going over they're not under the cover of the united states this wasn't a mercenary group bought by the united states and sent over these this is guys bought by a foreign entity th

who owed it the assassination of deafening. why did they want to silence her buttress the investigation before she was killed to help answer these questions the organization forbidden stories assembled forty five investigative journalists from fifteen countries the journalists hearing today reporters from the new york times is the guardian and le monde. forbidden stories is dedicated to completing the work of journalists who have been jailed or killed they have picked up death nice research right where she left off you know if you understand the way she was pretty she was very aggressive and that means that there are a lot of people who hated her and she would leave. at some point is going to be saucily i really hope i'm not in charge when that happens because i would not know where to start. forbidden stories was given access to his sources the information on his cell phone and. the confidential documents she was working on at the time of her assassination. the internal files in the databases may twenty seventh and i say only

she made this statement just ten days before her assassination. most aggressive to its the labor party and the government tries to use against just the one last. greatest difficulties are counted come from the fact. it was in effect is a national scale. you know it's called probably had a very. you know lack of. but my biggest concern is because people see what happens in the they don't want to do it. you know because all people are afraid of consequences. the reeling labor party often called definitely the witch the hate blog the queen of bile. those epithets were adopted by everyone who supports it the government. one of her main critics was a member of parliament glenn bedingfield an influential member of the ruling labor party. which are of course collaborator of joseph the current prime minister was and they're good friends as well we have known each other since one thousand and two who have always been together as over. glenn bedingfield is a politician and a blogger he wrote at least one article it day attacking daphne. he called her crazy

assassination of general will disrupt the poll why is his murder so significant. it's very significant is he of the century the most powerful man in connaught as the police chief was a role he took on since two thousand and eleven he's really taken over control of the city and made sure that it's secure so the fact that he was killed in the governor's office in a meeting where the presence of the top u.s. general in afghanistan all of this raises questions about what kind of security breaches happened that this was able to occur there have been numerous attempts on honors its life in the past including about a year ago when there and there are the ambassador came to visit and there was a bombing at the governor's mansion then and he had narrowly escaped they had just left just before the bombing so there are these questions of what happened that day in the governor's office this was able to happen ali how do afghans feel about tomorrow's election with this uptick in violence are they actually hopeful that this vote will bring about change. i think people are very

massee: everybody remembers he was assassinated in buffalo, but the most important thing, and robert mary's book is brought that to light, is how powerful an impact his presidency gave the country, because we had industrial revolution, expansion around the world, tremendous growth. and i think a lot of times, sadly enough, both grover cleveland and william mckinley are often forgotten. but through books that are written about both, and especially mckinley, and you remember karl rove's book about we mckinley, i think he is revered but in times past he has ften been forgotten. and my hope is that through the course of time and the great efforts of the white house historical society which jacqueline kennedy founded in 1961, through those efforts with education, preservation and legacy, learning about those presidents, they will certainly be remembered. and i'm trying very hard to do that. host: we visited the mckinley memorial in canton, ohio. what a structure. tell our audience how that came to be. massee: the william mckinley memorial back in the day, people revered him, and you know

we will have the author of "assassination of a saint." back in the united states, the trump administration is considering plans to resume forcibly separating migrant children from their families along the u.s.-mexico border. the washington post reported friday that one white house plan saidhe washington post" stephen miller is asking for tougher measures for those who continue to seek asylum in the u.s. after fleeing violence in guatemala, el salvador, and honduras. one plan would see asylum seeking families detained together for up to 20 days after which parents would be forced to decide whether tuesday detained for months or years while the immigration case proceed or to allow the children to be taken to a government shelter where their relatives or others could seek custody. we will have more on trump's family separation policy later in the broadcast.

abraham lincoln was assassinated.as an attempt on the vice president and miss of the cabinet. you can't compare that to the 10 packages, nobody died, no member of government except except the congresswoman from california. trish: around presidential historian. you have the context around this. what bothered me is people are trying to in a phoney pseudointellectual way manipulate history for their own particular politics. >> it's an insult to your intelligence. donald trump of all people waltz adult in the room. he was calling for unity and said we can't allow this sort of thing in a democracy. and yet you get this kind of -- compare that to the bernie sanders supporter who walked into that baseball field in virginia and started shooting congressmen who were republican senators and congressman. that would have changed history. and the comment from the news, cbs scott pelly, wonderful guy, i always thought here is a dispassionate open journalist. but he must have had red hot flood flowing through his version ins. he sai

talking the riot way and if you try to be straightforward then they want to assassinate and kill you but you have any proof that it was the saudis that came after you. said my brother generally i don't have enemies my friends and my relatives and my my people love me all my friends love me even my friends in the primary school. are in touch with me on since we were kids then god's people of may i have good contacts i have no and them is except the saudi government because. since they sell a man has. taken power after being in riyadh as the governor of riyadh for fifty years i had problem with the king solomon i had also problems with him a long time ago i left saudi arabia and i came to germany as is two thousand and three but he doesn't want to leave me alone no one has an interest to kill me except sell a man in particular can't sell a man and no one there at killing me except sell money bin abdulaziz now when you were in three weeks ago you say that you were under threat that you were going to be forcibly disappeared by the saudi or wealth or it is this was before jamal khashoggi

>> everybody remembers he was assassinated in buffalo. the most important thing, i tonk, and a book has brought light, is how powerful of an impact his presidency gave the because we had an industrial revolution, expansion around the world, tremendous growth. sadly, grover, cleveland and mckinley are forgotten. through books that are written about both, especially mckinley, and you remember the book about william mckinley, he has always been revered, but in times past, he has often been forgotten. my hope is that through the course of time and great efforts of the white house historical that jacqueline kennedy founded in 1961, it is efforts education and preservation and legacy and learning about the president, they will be remembered. i am trying very hard to do that. >> we have visited the mckinley memorial in ohio. what a structure. tell her audience the story of how they came to the? -- to be. >> way back in the day, people revered him. you know the significance about the roses they wore in the day when he was assassinated. . it --ize

and one ending was a russian that comes here to assassinate the president. he points a gun at his back, the gun doesn't go off. the secret service, one agent sees this happening, hands the gun to the russian to finish the job. he says go ahead, take mine. the "new york times" is writing about fantasizing about assassinating a president! so when you ask me does the media bear responsibility here, hell yes, they do! because people see that crap in the most prominent newspaper in the world, and they say what the hell is going on? to your point when you asked me that question. yeah, president trump's rhetoric is over the top. of course, it is, but the media is saying light more than he is on a daily basis, and not that people mistrust the media, they see it as hostile towards the president and it's personal. kennedy: cnn chief jeff zucker went after the president for this and sarah sanders says you chose to attack and device. >> 92% of cnn's coverage of the president is negative. and that's done by several research outfits, whether it be harvard, whether it be p

soil. >> do you agree vladimir putin is involved in assassinations, in poisonings? >> probably he is, yeah. probably. it's not in our country. >> why not they shouldn't do it? >> of course they shouldn't did it. >> it's not in our country. let's bring in our panel, and former chief of staff to first lady, laura bush, mcbride. that sounds like the trump doctrine. putin poisons and assassinates people but it didn't happen here in the united states, and last week he said that about the alleged murder of khashoggi. it didn't happen here. >> the point of an ally and u.s. leadership has been to try and provide that kind of leadership globally, to try and change and support global norms. when we say russia poisoned people in another country, it doesn't matter because it's not here. i think it tends to be that attitude that led the saudi crown prince, perhaps, to think he could get away with dispatching a critic that was a permanent resident of this country, and in the case of khashoggi, the crown prince has gotten away with kidnapping a lebanese prime minister, but that wa

if appomattox can be perceived as a turning point, what about lincoln's assassination? bert: that definitely is, that is a good point. when news of his assassination gets out there, it definitely changes the interaction between confederate soldiers going home and union soldiers who they encounter in the deep south. there is a lot of fear about what is going to happen next, nobody knows. there is a lot of uncertainty. you have to change the administration, there is a definite sense of retribution among a lot of radical republicans in the union government, so definitely lincoln's assassination is a big deal. >> one of the things i have always found fascinating about that is that we tend to think of lincoln's assassination as the narrative and of the war and the -- end of the war and the start of the reconstruction during. because it is a tidy narrative point, but really, the soldiers themselves saw the war continuing onward and make his assassination are medically and lincoln's assassination dramatically changes how that is going to carry out and it becomes a significant

on him calling on him to release his friend now that you know if it's confirmed that he's been assassinated you that relationship is finished and so as that relationship was severed the relationship with your questioner is frayed and if he doesn't have that then he loses a lot of his ties to donald trump now the structural relationship between trump and the saudis is still there whatever financial relationship might be there as is still there and the joint admiration for joe just a lot of strength would remain but there are also in this country democrats and we're having an election here in zero in november and democrats are already condemning if true the assassination. that took place on tuesday and when they are in power they will have significant influence over united states policy towards saudi arabia so a a strategy of linking up soley with one person donald trump is not a is not a long term active strategy spoken to a number of guests in the past few hours ryan who knew jamal khashoggi to varying degrees one of them had known him for thirty years in fact what was your relationship wit

one of the accomplices in this fifteen man assassination squad somebody who was brought in as a body double has him he looks like he doesn't have a beard so he actually puts on a fake the earth where is clothes and it's very important here to mean to mention two things number one the clothes don't seem to have any blood on them which would make it appear that they took off his clothes before they chop them up or killed him number true they don't seem ripped or at all creased in any way which would maybe cause more doubts on this idea that he was involved in some sort of a fight or struggle as they mentioned in the beginning that led to his death in fact he was overpowered almost immediately by those fifteen people he wears these clothes comes out of the back of this building there's another entrance on the other side in an attempt maybe to show that jamal khashoggi had left gets in a taxi goes into a very popular area still to nothing but which is filled with tourists it's packed but the c.c.t.v. cameras are mentioned pick him up goes into the toilets changes back into his own clothe

a thirty eight years after he was assassinated. his present donald trump has warned saudi arabia of severe punishment if it's found to be responsible for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi a saudi john this was last seen entering his country's consulate in istanbul on the second of october the saudis deny opposing to kill and say he left the consulate john hendren reports from washington d.c. . president donald trump is delivering his most serious threat yet to saudi arabia we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment the president's strength and stance follows turkish intelligence reports that washington post journal. as jamal khashoggi was murdered by a saudi arabian hit squad inside the saudi consulate in istanbul leaks to pro-government turkish media suggest the killing was recorded on his apple watch but technology experts have cast doubt that the devices bluetooth technology was capable of recording to a phone his fiancee held outside the consulate i wouldn't say unbelievable there's a few tech

capital kabul ali how concerned are authorities in afghanistan that the violence including the assassination of this very powerful police chief will disrupt the poll so i had a time doherty's did take a lot of measure so in the last week i've been travelling through three or four provinces and in each province along the way including in secure provinces you would see military and police vehicles coming in and taking over and establishing checkpoints so they're definitely doing things like that but this fascination of it was it was a very powerful commander you know probably the most powerful man in the province of kandahar the fact that he was assassinated in the governor's office in the presence of top u.s. military officials brings forth a lot of questions you know this was two days before the parliamentary elections and the fact that the man who basically ran trundled was the one who was killed in the governor's office when when these met u.s. military officials are visiting it's very worrying for people because they wonder where was the breakdown in security ali mentioned the general was
