like pompei was says the u.s. wants those behind the killing to be held accountable meanwhile istanbul's chief prosecutor has revealed she was strangled to death as soon as he entered the saudi consulate last month career reviewing putting sanctions on the individuals that we have been able to identify to date that if that were engaged in that murder could take us. probably have four more weeks before we have enough evidence to actually put those sanctions in place but i am i think will be able to get there we're going to find the fact that it president said we will demand accountability for those who are involved to the commission of this i described the saudi immorality coalition in yemen as targeted an air base in the capital sana'a that it says has been used by who the rebels to launch missiles and drones it's sending more troops to retake the port city of her data as the u.n. relaunches talks to end the war she like as president has climbed down on his decision to suspend parliament calling for a meeting of p

us secretary state might pompei was promising grave consequences to anyone shipping oil to syria and trying to prop up assad as he put it itself to the us treasury department on tuesday set up sanctions on three oil companies selling a raid in oil to syria and a number of associated individuals as well you know it states today sanctions and international network that the iranian regime and russia are using to provide millions of barrels of oil to the assad regime this is in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the i.r.g.c. could force that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas the new round of sanctions targets to russia based on oil companies with one reigning in the six individuals talk to from various countries including iran and russia moscow has condemned washington's latest move saying it lends support to terrorists in syria. the effort to charge others with providing oil to syria which is battled terrorist aggression for seven years looks like a statement of support for terrorists and similar cheney asli an effor

ambassador to the united nations condemned trump and pompei as response on twitter samantha power wrote it is a mean and nasty world but trump siding with the meanest stand nastiest out there to tell a tale c.c. putin or assassin m.b.'s will leave the world even nastier this statement is a green light for would be murderers in countries that have things thinks we need republican and democratic leaders of the senate foreign relations committee are demanding a second investigation they want it specifically on the crown prince to determine whether or not he's carried out a gross violation of human rights covered by the magnitsky act mike hanna has the latest from washington d.c. . president trump's comments appear to have infuriated congress his implication that the investigation is now over as far as he is concerned that it's business as usual with saudi arabia has certainly inflamed feelings among both democrats and republicans on the hill it's been made very clear that congress is going to take whatever steps it can to get to the bottom of the matter to find out once and for all with on

the war in yemen could also happen within weeks the senate has asked the secretary of state mike pompei o the defense secretary jim masses and the cia director gina housefull to give a briefing this month about yemen and the murder of jamal khashoggi under simmons has more from istanbul. the political dimension to this crisis has never been bigger and tape on the turkish president is looking to the united states for the next move not just the president donald trump who has said that he would form a strong opinion that hasn't been delivered yet mean but to congress particularly people like the republican senate certain lindsey graham who's said that that mohammed bin salomon is unstable and unreliable in his latest comments he said he doesn't see a situation where the u.s.

and what i've asked secretary of state pompei o. and secretary madness is. is there something that is appropriate that congress can do to send the right signal to saudi arabia a sense thus far the administration has been an unwilling to do it the response by the administration is not invalid and i think they know that the response about saudi arabia is not in balance and so the question is. will the administration try to seek that balance in the next hour or two or three. or will congress be left to a blunt object to to try. spawn itself and i would much rather see them do it and do it in the appropriate way that has not been done yet. but short of that i have laid in the railroad tracks to keep us from doing things that i believe are against our national interests as a relation of saudi arabia but i may now be willing to get on the lease sanders vehicle knowing it can be amended to figure out some why for us to send the appropriate message to saudi arabia that appropriately displays american values and american national interest so with that i know secretar

turkey relations in fact we saw a little earlier mike pompei or the secretary of state who is meeting the turkish foreign minister. in washington d.c. as well what studies or turkish u.s. relationship here and you know i mean turkey is really held its line throughout this whole affair. correct and i expected you to continue with it's the strategy of information we already heard from some sources that that is another tape a longer tape than the one that was shared with the foreign governments the seven minute there is a fifteen minute tape that might provide even more evidence linking the crown prince to the hit team so i'm expecting you know this tape to start surfacing even more in terms of detailed information from that that exists but you have to we have to understand that the. tragedy of the hot chick she moved to you know it falls within it why the ruled the relationship between the united states and turkey and within this relationship there are a number of contentious issues and you know one of them is the hoff bank the you know problem and the penalty is that might be imposed o

someone like president trump himself and perhaps secretary of defense mattis and secretary of state pompei o it is more about trying to get iran into a bilateral negotiation so that the united states president trump can come up with the deal of the century a deal that is so much better than his predecessor president obama so you have these two this is basically the spectrum of debate within the white house bolton wanting to undermine the iranians not get another deal trump himself perhaps with secretary of state pompei on secretary of defense mattis trying to force the iranians into a bilateral negotiation where they can claim victory just as they have with north korea ultimately how to read this will the iranian people with a retard that's the oil of the banking sector whatever it is there will be a trickle down effect to the iranian people and then adds will only stoke more you feeling well into the type of thing that we see yes we see it every november fourth but the sentiment in iran i mean it just seems to put things on even more of a collision course and perhaps on this assembly. yes

the scenes still but ultimately the pursuit will be of justice but it is interesting that when mike pompei o said it's a mean and nasty world well what happened here behind me a lot over the second was exactly that mean and nasty and the fear is that the real culprits behind this will not be held accountable to anybody live in istanbul thank you well now i can speak to us monserrat is a research director at the anchor institute and he used to be an advisor to the turkish prime minister he's joining us live now from the turkish capital ankara thank you very much indeed i'm just wondering it seems very much as though this presidential statement and the position generally taken by washington while the turkish foreign minister is actually in town appearing for a photo op at least with the u.s. secretary of state pompei or that this is a personal snub being issued by the administration to the turkish government. and if there is open gap between the american and turkish positions door not all meetings and means are exhausted between the relations regarding the case but it is so open regarding yo

senate and urged them not to pass this resolution this is some of what my pompei zero said essentially arguing that somehow this resolution would actually hurt the conditions of those living in yemen. the suffering in yemen grieves me but if the united states of america was not involved in yemen it would be a hell of a lot worse now it's been widely reported that the united states prevented a resolution in the united nations that would have condemned the saudi attacks on yemen the resolution had support from the united kingdom among others and essentially would have called on saudi arabia to cease its activities that harm civilians however the united states worked behind the scenes to prevent it from becoming a resolution now there has been widespread opposition and condemnation to saudi arabia's activities in yemen we've heard statements from charities that have come forward humanitarian organizations and said that essentially saudi activities put fourteen million people at risk of malnutrition however the united states continues to align with saudi arabia now it's important to point

i was with secretary pompei when he traveled to saudi arabia to hear directly from king solomon and the crown prince how saudi arabia would handle the investigation of custodies murder and we ask that the saudi leadership uncover the facts and hold accountable those responsible so far we've seen some positive steps clearly more needs to be done including identifying a number of individuals responsible we are taking strong action in response including revoking visas and reviewing the pick a place ability of sanctions under the global new can it ski act the same time our shared strategic interests with saudi arabia remain and remain strong and the secretary pompei o said we continue to view as achievable the twin imperatives of protecting america and hold accountable those responsible for the killing of mr. author two weeks of turmoil there's been another twist in sri lanka's political power struggle president zuma senate has dissolved parliament clearing the way for a snap election two years ahead of schedule problems began on october the twenty sixth when the president followed his prim

secretary of state mike pompei all said that the suffering in yemen grieves him but if the u.s. was not involved in yemen it would be. a hell of a lot worse is there any truth to that saying. well it's absolutely ridiculous an absurd statement to make and fortunately i think there's now we see a move the majority of the senators don't believe that anymore and that is a sea change especially to have republicans who are parting with the administration on this and recognizing that when madison's something like that it really just doesn't make sense to them anyway so if we go back in time just not too long ago actually no such resolution was passed after the saudi bombing of a school bus in yemen in august in which forty children were killed by a us made bomb and yet we're now seeing all of this concern possibly maybe the murder of jamal khashoggi comes into play here what does this say about politicians priorities. well it's very sad when you put it in that light because the saudi bombing has been responsible for the majority of the death and destruction in yemen and has led to thi

over his it'd riyadh as well as on in the midst of all this secretary pompei oh didn't didn't want to listen to the tape that the turks had that they played for the cia director there's been some story speculation that maybe washington and riyadh are working together to make the cover story stick so perhaps the white house suggested to crown prince asked to see president aired on make up somehow try to deescalate the tension and by the way we've got your back so do the best job you can to get us all out of this mess and i think that's tragic for for everybody except probably the crown prince saud and my bone what do you think the chances of that meeting actually happening. i think first of all we've got to figure out if the crown prince is going to go to the g. twenty there are reports coming out this morning that human rights watch is placing pressure on argentinean prosecutors to arrest the crown prince for for his involvement in not only the but in the war in yemen and i think that if there is any doubt whatsoever if there is any theer in the crown prince's mind then he will he wil

people that is based support it's with the abbess or bolton as well as conversation with kelly and pompei oh who are extremely anti russia full of russia phobia and even ambassador bolton the national security adviser was on the payroll of the ukrainians over a million dollars to his political action committee before he took this government position so he's conflicted already and i believe very fundamentally that when they had their private time with him using the ukrainian situation as an excuse this was a good optics is the image thing for them to cancel this meeting if the politics will . voters with the do you think he really would like to have a one to one with putin drawing on some of his own going stuff. absolutely i do he is a deal maker at the end of the day he writes himself on that especially when it comes to economic development and de confliction between major powers and absolutely i believe he would be if it weren't for the apparatus around him and the base that he has to play to grow up in the sixties and seventies error and have natural russia phobia with from the media ap

bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate i asked for our level briefing with madness pompei o n g i asked for the comment assumes we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia is now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi the sit says according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity the report says in reaching his conclusions the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence including a phone call that the crown prince's brother and ambassador to the u.s. had with the journalist before his murder khaled bin solomon was quick to deny the allegation saying on twitter i never talk to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason i asked the u.s. government to release any information regarding this claim. within hours several other news or

the war in yemen or the gulf crisis either do you think likely it goes beyond that in fact while pompei you know in trump may trying to sweep this under the rug and move on i don't know that the congress both sides of capitol hill the house and the senate are going to let saudi arabia off that easily we've also seen clearly how turkey is playing their hands very carefully and skillfully in this i think the consequences are going to go beyond just a slap on the wrist the other that i would point out is there's more agreement not only on saudi arabia but on world issues like russia even you know china on capitol hill and we've seen with the white house so foreign policy while it's traditionally been run by the administration may not continue to be so bill schneider is public policy professor at george mason university joins us live now from washington d.c. now we've heard in this program for other guest correspondents that the polls have been pretty spot on and the saying the senate is going to the republicans as it was thought if you agree with that. yes things are going as expected whic

to go along with basically stop buying iranian oil we also heard from the secretary of state mike pompei on the secretary of the treasury stephen newton who said that more than seven hundred iranians will be sanctioned as well will be a number of iranian banks and other financial institutions as well as iranian airlines and shipping vessels all parts of the overall energy sector really to try to force the iranian government to change its policies to stop what the united states calls meddling in other countries affairs and creating a destabilizing environment particularly across the middle east and finally to try to promote the environment so that the iranian people themselves can to decide whether they want to continue with the current government or choose what the u.s. hopes they would do which would be to choose some sort of democratic government again the sanctions are taking effect as of five g. on monday november fifth and the u.s. says that any country or any person that does businesses with does business with the sanctioned institutions that are in iran could face sanctions themse

pompei zero because he's actually admitting white us motivations with sanctions on any country and so he's always been right he says he speaks out the other side of his mouth of supporting the iranian people against the whole us at the same time he says that the iranian leaders had better get in line with us foreign policy if they want their people to eat i mean this is the same time thing we saw with north korea when t. rex rex tillerson was saying that with the advent of ghost ships with north korea that we were starting to see some real the same sions were starting to have an effect which is because the north koreans were sending fishing ships out without even a nuffield to get back home they were so desperate to provide food right and we saw the same thing all the way back with madeleine albright and iraq when she said it was worth it right however real you know we can debate you know the numbers that were involved in the question also is she five hundred dollars half a million she as the question was phrased she accepted the premise and said it was worth it to kill to starve a bi

of the out of the automotive industry now the reason for this as stated by secretary of state by pompei oh just today was that iran is getting this cash from these oil sales and from other other areas other sectors in their economy that they take the money and used to fund terror he said that the biggest funder of terror around the world and that they have to stop that now it's interesting here the prime minister of iraq said we'd love to sit down and talk to the united states if the united states changes their ways that's not going to happen pompei zero said we'll sit down and talk to iran about these sanctions and moving forward iran does a one hundred eighty halts their ballistic missile program stops funding terror and behaves themselves in other ways as well so this was expected the united states doesn't care that the rest of the world is still signed on to that nuclear agreement and is against these sanctions and you did a great job at laying it out and i don't really want to debate too much about about the past only because you know we're here we're here and now but part of me ju

for the war in yemen could also happen in weeks the senate has asked the secretary of state mike pompei of the defense secretary jim mattis and the cia director to give a briefing this month about yemen and about the murder of jamal khashoggi and her simmons with more now from istanbul. the political dimension to this crisis has never been bigger and tape heard one the turkish president is looking to the united states for the next move not just the president donald trump who has said that he would form a strong opinion that hasn't been delivered yet what it will mean but to congress particularly people like the republican senate certain lindsey graham who's said that that mohammed bin solomon is unstable and unreliable in his latest comments he said he doesn't see a situation where the u.s. can do business with such a man now that is a view shared by many republicans and also democrats of course but is it enough to actually form the persuasive vote within congress hard to call but there are a set of sanctions being looked at and the democrats are saying that they may go for sanctions to

secretary of state mike pompei oh. yeah it would rather be it is our right to get more information if there is an impossible the investigation comes to a standstill or we cannot fully cooperate then we may have to apply for an international inquiry. but even amid demands to punish saudi arabia over the killing trump's comments could end the debate over how his administration will respond to the matter the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia is highly profitable with billions of dollars and arms sales every year critics say that's allowing riyadh to get away with murder. now in sports germany's national football team has missed out on becoming a top seed for your no twenty twenty qualifying as follows poland's one all draw with portugal in the nation's league which means the poles take the final place in . germany found cells in part two on the guaranteed one elite opponent in that group when the euro draws made in december it's the latest setback in a woeful the if the germans after they crashed out of the world cup at

very true public background call from mr pompei and the treasury secretary munson nobody mentioned those countries but it is assumed an american press is writing about this stuff to write about it right now that this is south korea. and japan who are two of those eight jurisdictions as they're called here who get a waiver now the money they those jurisdictions make through those waivers with iran has to be has to be or iran makes through those waivers has to be deposited on the specific bank accounts which also only can be used for humanitarian aid and humanitarian trades that's a very very important distinction however though you see there's equal it's not always equal there are eight countries now so really one is japan and the other one is south korea and there sure are others who are still having trading rights and will remain trading rights with iran for the oil and see where this goes stuff in saban's in washington thank you. two journalists and then modulating connection with their reporting of the range of crisis are expected to file appeals this week in a trial that attracted co

regarded by the targeting restrained by the white house state department state secretary of state pompei or still as a troublemaker in the middle east specifically a trouble maker for saudi arabia in yemen he does not like and since may two thousand and eighteen the administration has worked deliberately in the legion plea on rolling out those sanctions on november first next monday so how effective are all those sanctions likely to be given that china russia the e.u. britain and france have all said that they will work together to try and get round them. you know it's hard to tell they will be affected through some degree but having said that as you mentioned there's plenty of countries with a like we're won't be impacted by this and we're still dealing and wheeling with iran and we will deal in oil and we want to buy our own and want to pay iran for the oil they'll export to us now having said that secretary of state pump aoe and the treasury secretary. mentioned that eight jurisdictions this is how they called it because they never said which countries assuming the countries are getti

so we've had the statement from president trump and now there's some news conference with pompei o and apparently it is that national security that that is ahead of any further response. it's nakedly all a citizen that in some ways perhaps you could say that the trumpet ministration is being far more transparent about how they deal with issues like the mother of a dissident journalist and other administrations after all we often hear barack obama or other presidents before him brooke torricelli being terribly strong against saudi arabia or against israel who have a but i'm just giving them basically whatever they wanted in the end only at the end of barack obama's. time in office did he start acting against saudi arabia or any revenge the forceful manner here donald trump might bump the administration being quite open transparent actually telling us pretty much what we always always knew that in the end they are going to jeopardize weapons sales they are going to jeopardize geostrategic priorities just because one man was killed and they don't even get to dress it up that only going to

enough evidence to impose sanctions on saudi arabia over the murder of the journalist seems like pompei or says the u.s. wants those behind the killing to be held accountable istanbul's chief prosecutor has revealed that her shock she was strangled to death as soon as he entered the saudi consulate last month we are reviewing putting sanctions on the individuals that we have been able to identify to date that have that bring gaged in that murder will take us. probably have four more weeks before we have enough evidence to actually put those sanctions in place but i'm i think we'll be able to get there we're going to find the fact that a president said we will demand accountability for those who are involved to the commission of this i've described the saudi american coalition in yemen has been targeting an airbase in the capital sanaa that it says has been used by who feel rebels to launch missiles in droves it's sending more troops to try to retake the port city of what data is the u.n. relaunches talks to end the war. the u.s. economic embargo of cuba has been overwhelmingly condemned

bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate i asked for our level briefing with maddest pompei o n g i asked for the comment assumes we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia us now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi the sit says according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity the report says in reaching his conclusions the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence including a phone call that the crown prince's brother and ambassador to the u.s. had with the journalist before his murder khaled bin solomon was quick to deny the allegation saying on twitter i never talk to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason i asked the u.s. government to release any information regarding this claim. within hours several of the news o

secretary of state mike pompei o a few days ago that it could take a handful of weeks he said on a local radio station for any action to be taken and that action may amount to just sanctions being taken against certain individuals and not really tracing the responsibility to the very top so a lot of concern in turkey now that there is a cover up underway actively by the saudis they've got no doubt about that as far as the turkish are concerned but what influence will this have on the u.s. and other allies including israel and egypt anderson is live for us in istanbul thanks andy. our court in bahrain has sentenced three opposition members to life in prison overturning a previous acquittal on charges of spying for qatar shere ali manhasset jew muscle tahn and ali maddy alia last words were arrested for their involvement in the twenty eleven arab spring protests bahrain accuse them of passing state secrets to a foreign government spreading false news and trying to undermine the kingdom amnesty international says this verdict is a travesty of justice that demonstrates the bahamian authoriti
