jamal khashoggi was not an isolated case. it was the modus operandi against -- fears and disinformation campaign. how can they be on the human rights council? what about our action? is there is supposed to be a f protest? what more must we tolerate with multimillions of contracts? time to implement a total ban on arms exports and penalties for those responsible to stop being complicit with this regime. >> thank you very much, please stick to your speaking time. >> translator: i think we can't see this is the unique. we need to see what happens to the opposition in china and iran. we condemn what has happened in this crime. looking at this from the west, in particular from europe, is erdogan the public prosecutor of the west? hundreds of journalists in turkey, the world capital of imprisoning journalists. 3000 unable to look for journalists, agree with a high representative the we need to look, this journalists, legitimately from his point of view supported qatar and the muslim brotherhood, not exactly a democratic organizatio

criticismenen jamal's became even more important. i interviewed jamal because i did a cover story in september this year about mohammed bin salman. we were trying to expose the true face and show the american audience, especially lawmakers who were celebrating this man and "60 minutes" it is huge report about this crown prince. they even went as far as saying he is the new face and a reformer. callining him a reformer is like calling david duke a civil rights activist. it is preposterous. it is outrageous. so i did this cover story. i interviewed jamal for o one hour. we talked about everything. jamal, i remember we were both shaken by the fact is crown prince went as far as kidnapping a prime minister of lebanon, al-hariri. him,red him in, kidnapped and forced him to resign. it was an attempt to trigger reaction by the lebanese so he can use the lebanese reaction, the has below reaction, to go to work in saran. jamal set in that interview that he gave me, he said our only hope is the international community. our only hope to save th

a fistfight that led to the death of jamal khashoggi.ou may remember the details that we had heard up until this point from turkish officials who were responding to the tape, the alleged audio that exists of this whole thing. they said there was some kind of an interrogation, some kind of a struggle that then led to jamal khashoggi's death. not exactly clear yet how a fistfight could result in the death of a journalist. that presumably is what the saudis will want to spend the next month reviewing with the national security-involved interior ministry and foreign ministry as i said, but certainly this is a significant moment. we have not seen anything quite like this from the kingdom, certainly any time that i can remember, but 18 saudi nationals detained, one incredibly important senior adviser to the prince himself all dismissed from his position, and revelations now starting to come out as to exactly how, wolf, jamal khashoggi died. >> i want to be precise, clarissa. 18 saudi nationals now detained, meaning they've been arrested by the

justice for jamal is important. if we do not hold the saudi's for this, it could have a chilling effect on the ability of civil society to operate within their own countries and in exiles throughout the world. consideration is that the u.s.-saudi relationship is badly in need of updating. this has been the case for a while, but there is been some hesitance because the short-term plan could be somewhat significant, but not by any means unmanageable. the problem is that the central bargain underlines the relationship that has been security for oil and is no longer as compelling for either side and no longer adequate for u.s. interests as we become more interested in saudi regional behavior, saudi human rights, and saudi role in human extremism. in order to recalibrate the u.s.-saudi relationship and ensuring saudi arabia is held responsible for khashoggi's murder would be four things. first, our bilateral relationship-based expand the conversation. they cannot be about just security and economics. human rights needs t

jamal khashoggi was in a sense not just the rules.as in a sense notjust a the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense not just a journalist the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense notjust a journalist but the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense not just a journalist but an insider, he worked with saudi embassies in london and washington. he made a calculated risk. what he didn't appreciate, i think, was what this particular regime would do and the lengths they would go to silence him. you've heard the remarks from the saudi interior minister saying this is all lies, that the saudis maintained that he entered the consulate and then left. turkey is saying you have do provide evidence of that, they have recordings a p pa re ntly of that, they have recordings apparently to the contrary. it is an incredibly murky business but if what is believed to have happened has indeed happened, hasn't this massively backfired for the saudi authorities? completely and no more so authorities? completely and no more so than in washington. i think donal

we were just speaking with jamal elshayyal.f you can add to what he was saying, what you think it is important for people to understand at this point will stop many wondering why president trump is doing pr work for the saudi regime, even before they say publicly -- he says maybe it is rogue elements when we are talking about an official government building in saudi arabia -- i mean, in turkey, the saudi consulate, khashoggi disappearing their october 2 with his fiancee standing outside for hours waiting for him to come out and he never did. first, saudi arabia said he did walk out and now it has been two weeks and they have had to change their story. >> absolutely. well, in many ways while the story is incredibly shocking in its details, it is really just a different degree rather than kind as far as what we is in saudi arabia capable of doing over the years, particularly under this crown prince. as the reporter pointed out, many activists and journalists have found themselves silenced and one where another were placed under p

well i mean i think it's confirming what we originally wrote that jamal. was ushered into the consul general office with the consul general there two men entered the room he was dragged out they used foul language there was screaming heard afterwards and then a silence. generated by a lethal substance what's happening is that the saudi story is crumbling. and is crumbling very very quickly. and knowledge is an intensity of the fire wall around mohammad consignment and the king and say that this was a rope operational this was an interrogation gone wrong the idea that this is an interrogation gone wrong really doesn't hold water why is this so called interrogation happen extremely quickly according to the audiotapes and the whole operation was over within two hours of jamal stepping in and not history as a two hour gap between him stepping into the consul and the first convoy of cars leaving it the second point is going back to who these fifteen people were none of them were professional interrogators they were special forces they were special guards and th

well, jamal. what was that like? well, jamal was very laid back.ctor of news channel that was launching out of bahrain in 2015, and was shut down in the day it actually launched, only for a few hours. jamal was laid back, he never imposed his opinion on anyone. he held very private views, to himself, and he knew that a lot of us, the executive team around him, were not a lwa ys executive team around him, were not always in... not seeing eye to eye. but he never imposed his opinion. he never even suggested that. he was relaxed, he was always... he always had a smile on his face, always ready for a joke. jamal khashoggi did not have a single mean or nasty bonein did not have a single mean or nasty bone in him. he was a jolly, happy quy- bone in him. he was a jolly, happy guy. you will be hearing about this explanation about there being a fight. what you are describing there isa fight. what you are describing there is a gentle man. extremely gentle, extremely gentle. it is very hard for us to accept the brutal way that we are at reading about how he m

all we know really is that jamal has disappeared.that, we can sort of try to piece together the information and guess where that is tending. and that is why i'm saying i think it is very important that saudi arabia really does respond to this. this semi silence for a week has just left this gap in which others can sort of fill and speculation can fuel what is going on. whereas i think while this is a horrific case and really deserves to be better understood, we also need to be sort of thinking about the longer term implications of this. for saudi arabia itself, for the mbs project, where does that stand. and implications for the region and for its partners. >> none of this does any favors to as i say what is a complicateded a eand messy regi. neal, thank you, sir. >>> natalie, for the time being, back to you. nothing says fall like a homecoming football game, so let's promote our fall travel deal on choicehotels.com like this. touchdown. earn a free night when you stay just twice this fall. or, badda book. badda boom. book now at cho

"nightline" will be right back. >>> good evening. thank you for joining us. as violent hate-filled acts continue to make headlines, it's becoming very clear the line is blurring between on-line talk and real world violence. abc's kira phillips on the social media platforms trying to battle this growing wave of hate online. >> did it feel good when you were talking about killing off another race? >> it was what i would consider the equivalent of a drug high. it felt good for a short time because it did give me a sense of identity, a sense of community and purpose when i have none before. it was destroying me, and i also knew it was destroying everything around me. >> reporter: that "it" is hate. a powerful and lasting bigotry that once consum

they made a mistake when they killed jamal khashoggi.senior leadership of our intelligence was not aware of this. it's interesting because he is saying perhaps in one side of his mouth that there was some knowledge of an operation to be under way among the administration, but it was taken too far. it was exceeded. >> yeah. this is a really interesting explanation that saudi arabia is trying to convince the world. it's a rogue operation. there will be difficult inconvenient facts that are going to get in the way of this narrative. the turks have obviously released names and photographs of some of the individuals that flew from saudi arabia to istanbul to conduct this mission. some of those people have direct ties to the crown prince. so that's one of the other things that we have been led to believe and told by trump advisers that leads to the president's skepticism that this could be a rogue operation. the president was the first 1 to float this rogue operation a few days ago. >> this was a phone call you had with the president. up to th

these are the last known images of jamal khashoggi alive. moments before he entered the saudi consulate. take a look. same clothes, same glasses and beard. similar age and physique. everything except the shoes. a senior official told cnn the man on the left is a body double, one of 15 saudi operatives sent to kill jamal khashoggi and cover it up. surveillance cameras capture him arriving at the consulate in a plaid shirt and jeans with an accompli accomplice. two hours later jamal khashoggi arrives and was killed inside shortly afterwards. while his fiance waited in front of the consulate, he came out through this back exit. disturbingly, he appears to be wearing the actual clothing of the murdered journalist. the intent? turkish investigators was to perpetuate the lie that he left the consulate unharmed. the apparent double and his com pannian take a taxi to a mosque. one of the main tourist attractions and an easy place to get lost in a crowd. the men head to the bathroom and the accomplice carries a plastic bag. when they emerge, he is we

you also knew jamal khashoggi. you talk about what has happened to him and what is happening with u.s.-saudi relationships? >> we don't know what happened to him but if indeed it turns out he was murdered inside the saudi consulate, this has to be a turning point. he is somebody who worked in the united states, a resident of the united states, worked for "the washington post." he is a well-known journalist, a mild critic, heart of the royal opposition. if they can do this to him, it is outrageous. i think it has to be put in the context of the saudi -- that the ofwn prince mbs is out control. what he is doing in yemen, the bombing of schoolchildren, the in lebanon, then throwing in prison of women activists, of scholars. he is crating and economic war with qatar. he is out of control. at some point we have to break relations with saudi. it is just -- so much of this is about weapons sales. we have to say the weapons companies cannot control our policy. i was heartened to see over the weekend some tweets, not just b

[speaking in native tongue] >> translator: which means we can now move on to the next point on our agenda. this is the statement by the vice president of the commission and the high representative of the unit for foreign affairs and security policy on the killing of journalists jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: well, will allow the vice president to get into her place. we wait a couple of minutes. so when you're ready, madam. >> mr. president, thank you all for having decided to put this issue on the agenda of your plenary today. i think it's an extremely poor for the parliament to have its voice heard on this. let me start by saying something basic and very clear that a think we have to start from. that a crime against one journalist, were ever in the world,

government complicit in that fabrication and we many of us in washington knew jamal i've known jamal for fifteen years many of us know this jamal it's not about those human relationships but it is about the overt killing and murder on government project property extra judicially extraterritorial by an ally of the united states and a stent simply allegedly under the direction of the rising crown prince in saudi arabia and i think that is such a toxic situation and as your previous commentator excellently said president trump is unbelievably tone deaf in this moment and doesn't i think understand the seriousness this will not go away overnight as i think some in the white house have been hoping why is he all with the question of the way what has to change before he gets less than the years at the moment. well i've been waiting and as we've watched this sort of political scene the last two years for the legislative branch of the government which is controlled by the republicans to demonstrate that it had any resolve any backbone to preserve its own parag of the white house we've never s

saudi relations in the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. (202)748-8001. democrats to a 27488002. you mentioned a minute ago that one ofnt the options is to suspd arms sales. why do we sail so many arms to saudi arabia? >> the unitedd states of close security relationship going all the way back to the immediate post-world war ii era. the united states has a sickly help saudi arabia built its entire military and security infrastructure. it is heavily dependent on u.s. arms coming u.s. security, architecture. and this has been a tradition that's gone back because we recognize that the u.s. and saudi arabia share important object is not only in the region, but globally. we share a desire to ensure a stable energy market for the world. we share a commitment to security, regional security, global security. we've worked together on these issues for decades. look at afghanistan in the 1980s. look at the iraqi invasion of kuwait in 1991. the united dates and saudi arabiaia have worked closely together for all of those years on security and a lot of it is based on

and sometimes we believe what we want to believe and what jamal wanted was. difficult attesting to his divorce so that he could marry his fiance and start a new life. and you know love sometimes makes us to take risks that we wouldn't otherwise take and that's that's the best way i can think of that is what was speaking when he walked into that consulate we'll have to leave it there the saudis say they did not commit never of i want to believe the saudi government more sarah leah whitson rula jebreal thanks for joining me on up front thank you marty. a record number of women are running for office in the united states this year in this week's reality check up from producer elizabeth walsh explains why this is still enough to close the political gender go. remember that millions of people around the world stood up for women's rights after donald trump was sworn into office oh this yourself. while momentum has emboldened nearly six hundred women to run for office in the united states more than ever before this year a record number of women are running for offic

jamal khashoggi is dead. this is a development given their past inability to state. >> congressman lieu, you were speaking about some of the foreign policy issues. what we see is a movement by saudi arabia. more important for foreign policy implications is the underlying facts. what is your view? >> first of all, i'm pleased that saudi arabia has finally realized that when you cut up a human being into little pieces they will in fact be dead. i think it is outrageous that president trump continues to defend saudi arabia. this was a murder of a journalist inside a saudi embassy by a team sent by saudi arabia. clearly, the crown prince is either implicated in that or responsible. it is his government, and he has a lot of explaining to do. congressman jim mcgovern and i introduced a bill today that makes it easy for the house of representatives to halt arms sales. we need to look at the arms sales pending to saudi arabia. they need to suffer consequences so they don't do this again. >> stay with me, congressman.

president donald trump promises a severe punishment if saudi arabia killed missing journalist jamal khashoggi. >>> from detention overseas to the oval office. an american pastor meets and prays for president trump. >>> and rescuers trying to reach people trapped after hurricane michael. why they say they still cannot reach all those who need help. >>> from the cnn center, we're live in atlanta. i'm cyril vanier. it's great to have you with us. >>> so u.s. president donald trump says he soon expects to see the evidence turkey claims to have about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi kans lat in istanbul on october 2nd. here's the video. here's what mr. trump told the cbs news show "60 minutes" if it turns out khashoggi was killed. >> there's a lot at stake, and maybe especially so because this man was a reporter. there's something -- you'll be surprised to hear me say that. there's something really terrible and 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 ther

searching the saudi consulate in istanbul for jamal khashoggi turkish investigators say they are finally being allowed in why has it taken so long for the saudis to open their doors and is the kingdom looking for a face saving compromise this isn't a story. hello and welcome to the program on iran come on turkish investigators say they are being allowed to search saudi arabia's consulates in istanbul ofter all almost two weeks off the journalist your ball was last seen the granting of permission comes a few days after the saudis retracted their initial offer to allow turkish forensic experts and the saudis denied was murdered and his body dismembered and removed by a fifteen man hit squad which flew into istanbul on the day he disappeared as international pressure intensifies for answers from the saudis donald trump sending america's top diplomat to meet king selman the proposed use of the consulate follows a fun call between the king and techies president. committed to a joint investigation britain france and germany have added to mounting international pressure by calling for a credibl

well it's not really about myself or my organization even it's not about jamal himself. to himself was not writing about himself he was not defending his right to speak or his right to to write about you know what's going on in saudi arabia he decided to be the voice for the voiceless he decided to be the voice for those who are languishing in jail journalists like him political activists the social reformist they were put to jail and when the first opportunity presented itself he decided to leave and come here not to enjoy living in the united states but to speak freely to defend those who are languishing in jail and to defend their right to speak and the right to you know to write and organize which is a taboo in saudi arabia so resolving the issue of the multinational will hopefully bring the bigger spotlight on what's going on in saudi arabia which was the cause of jamal khashoggi so i know that it's complicated we do not have answers but if he died god bless his soul he was defending the right of the regular saudi people so were there to the key now or the united st

jamal khashoggi, once very close to the saudi royalfamily, but is jamal khashoggi, once very close to reforms have been carried out, came something of a dissident, and on the second of october he entered the consulate in istanbul to sort out the divorce and also put in some papers for a marriage, he never left the consulate and it was turkey who started that investigation, saying that he had been killed inside the consulate, that they had evidence of audio of his so—called murder, and earlier this evening reuters have reported that the president of turkey, president over one, and saudi arabia's king salman had in having telephone conversations about keeping that investigation going between the two countries and cooperating and we are now hearing that saudi arabia have confirmed that saudi arabia have confirmed that jamal khashoggi is that saudi arabia have confirmed thatjamal khashoggi is indeed dead and he died in a fight in the consulate. two people have lost their jobs, consulate. two people have lost theirjobs, the royal court advisor and the deputy intelligence chief. that is the

he knew jamal khashoggi. the disappearance of my friends among the have brought a lot of who served with them to the us and community so does egypt sions iraq syrians and others across the region i mean a lot of them concern about how to conduct business but also obviously in time i mean a lot of them are determined to do more and to dig him out the world out to the global community and to stress on the values that he was supporting about freedom of press freedom and democracy and human rights issues are close to reaching well let us know what you think often a civil amounts of democracy case he's the hash tag age and his grades come all right here thank you let's return to new york now the united nations a news conference joint news conference between representatives excuse me from major human rights groups from the committee to protect journalists amnesty international human rights watch calling for an independent u.n. investigation into jamal khashoggi disappearance should be talking to turkey whether it's

the jamal khashoggi issue has simply released it. jamal, in many ways, was the straw that broke the camels back. people gave mohammad bin salman on the benefit of the doubt. he was a reformer. he was was doing things that people thought were good for the economy and saudi arabia, some of the social liberalization, bringing women into society, so people were willing to overlook an awful lot of these things. jamal has a particular residence here in washington, london, new york, because so many people knew him personally, was very well-regarded and well-liked in many corners of this town. host: did you ever meet him? guest: i knew him. he came to middle east institute and did some roundtables with us. he was a well-known figure around town. participated in many activities, conferences, other things. was a wilmamal person. it personalizes the issue for many people. is right.ller it is not just one thing. host: germantown, maryland. independent. caller: it is not just one thing, but just as your guest said, this is an american legal resid

we will have more on the latest of jamal khashoggi after headlines. at a rally in montana thursday, president trump praised montana congressman greg gianforte for physically assaulting a reporter. pres. trtrump: greg isis smart. anand by the wayay, never w wree him.m. never. any guy ththat can do body slam, he is my kind ofuyuy. he is my g guy. amy: last year, gianforte body-slammed the guardian reporter ben jacobs after he asked gianforte a question about the republicans' healthcare proposal. this is the audio jacobs captured of the attack. >> i will talk to about that later. i am sick and tired of you guys. the last guy that came in here did the same thing. get the hell out of here. you just broke my glasses. >> the last guy did my same damn thing. >> i would also like to call t e police. elected to congress, but he ultimately pled guilty to assaulting jacobs. after trump praised june 40th a rally thursday night, the guardian john a hole in the aftermath of the murder of jamal khashoggi, it runs the risk of inviting other assaults on journalists bot

in fact, there were claims early on that jamal left the back entrance of the consulate.ked right out that day, never to be seen again. obviously, that's not credible. so why would it have credibility now, if the saudi government is going to say this was a rogue operation. why would that be any more credible? why are they to be believed after denying this for two weeks? president trump seemed to believe the denial, seemed to be taking the denial seriously. now all of a sudden the saudi government changing its tune, leaves president trump in a tough situation, as well. >> the last couple images the world saw of jamal khashoggi, entering that saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey, 13 days ago now. quick break. we're back with more special coverage after this. at humana, we believe great things are ahead of you when you start with healthy. and part of staying healthy means choosing the right medicare plan. humana can help. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits when you're sick. but keep in mind you'll have to pay a deductible for ea

through you tube facebook live on al-jazeera dot com details of the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi have trickled in in the past eight days but in the absence of any official evidence more information has been published and it is painting a very grim picture indeed you've got this footage sure these are the fifteen men that we have heard from turkish media appearing to form what they call a saudi hit squad they arrived at istanbul's international airport the same day vanished in the washington post says communication plans to detain custody were intercepted by u.s. intelligence we're going to outside the saudi consulate in istanbul in a moment but we're starting with this from stephanie decker. turkish sources say these men arrived at istanbul airport with a mission to either abductor or kill. they flew into istanbul on the same day the saudi journalist was due to return to the consulate to finalize some paperwork they're suspected to have been inside the consulate would be entered the building around a quarter past one local time on the afternoon of the second of october

this will clarify whether the saudi narrative is true or not because they said they admitted that jamal has lost his life during a fistfight inside the saudi consulate general but we have been we have been following several reports from through media and through unknown awful sources that he was murdered in a different way so as long as the prosecutors have his body it will clarify everything of course this is an important issue for turkey as well because despite it was this murder was committed inside saudi territory which is the saudi general consulate in istanbul it is still churchy and it is an assault for turkey so very new to cordon to the turkish officials including don but in a way of course everybody. he had very high expectations when our don spoke on sunday saying that i will speak in a very different way and i will reveal every detail of this investigation as naked truth and today his speech was merely a like a chronological order of jamal who should just disappearance and the ongoing investigation but of course he he asked the right questions who gave the order for the smir
