president donald trump for the first time intent at saudi crown prince mohammed bin sandman's possible involvement in the murder of journalists in an interview with the wall street journal trump says the crown prince is running things in the kingdom so if anyone were to be involved it would be him his administration has revoked visas of twenty one saudi nationals nothing that they've done have as good as done well certainly has not been. spoken of properly they did the wrong thing even thinking about the idea they certainly did a better job of execution and they certainly did a better job of talking about it or covering it up if you'd like to see it but i would say it was a total fiasco turkey's president wants those behind the murder of jamal how shockey to face trial in his country which at tyburn one has called for an independent investigation the u.s. and russian presidents could meet in france next month over american plans to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty donald trump and let him a putin with both attend a world war one commemoration of events in paris on novemb

one way or another has been directly or indirectly or close to or not that closely related to mohamed bin sandman so the case has a legal foundation which is a legal aspect that will involve these eighteen people etc but then it will have also a political aspect which is who gave the order of the question for us and what a question that he asked is who gave the order if not by what these eighteen people has done but who gave the order i think the court the answer to this will give the order will take us to the political aspect of this crisis and the responsible of the political responsibility for this crisis because he did utter the word that it is premeditated and political so therefore it cannot be covered up by some rogue element or low ranking officials within the state structure but nevertheless as i said before in order for the turkish action to be consequential at in turkey is very very interested to get the international community on board and turkey does not want to join this issue into joe paul called bickering between turkey and saudi arabia and does not want to turn this into a bilate

all of this putting on saudi arabia and do you think that the position of the crown prince mohammed bin sandman is in jeopardy as some people are saying. well the internal politics of saudi arabia are sort of notoriously opaque grains of that no one could ever really tell what's going on inside but it is certainly putting a lot of pressure on saudi arabia you know way that previous incidents right where saudi arabia's foreign policy under. has been really quite miraculous where we've seen this you know terrible war in yemen hostility towards qatar and a number of other missteps and radical shifts in its foreign policy sorry to say that it can be used as leverage for saudi arabia to change some of its foreign policy what i'm saying is that i think that this is changing people's perceptions where this is sort of a pot coming to a boil. and certainly in washington people are saying and i'm enough is enough. saudi arabia has been allowed to get away with too much and that the top administration been really weak on saudi arabia and so congress in particular i think is pushing the administration to t
