tamara: thank you. i think as i reflect on the weeks and months since jamaal's -- jamal's murder, one of the features that has made it so tricky for investigators, but for all of us, to understand what happened and to understand the role played by different actors is the context of regional politics. this murder took place in the midst of rivalries and disagreements within the region, including between turkey and saudi arabia. we saw leaking to the media, selective release of information, particularly by the turkish government, you know, and those are -- there are those that would argue that that muddy the waters for an investigation like yours. my understanding is that, as you went about this work, you had some cooperation from both governments, the turkish and saudi government. would you talk about how you navigated those relationships? dr. callamard: the investigation into the killing of mr. khashoggi was a complex one because of the political environment, because of the geo strategic upheaval taking

tamara: thank you. do you think you have allies within the u.n. system to pursue additional steps at the u.n., which is of course one channel for pursuing international accountability? dr. callamard: that is an interesting question. [laughter] think theard: look, i paralyzed a bit in such an how to tackle issue. i think the secretary-general, the security counsel, the human -- haveouncil have been had some difficulty attacking a crime that is linked to such influential actors as saudi eveia, that has been at the -- as i was presenting my report, there were words of war with iran. it is all extraordinarily difficult. i think that is not helping justice for the killing of mr. khashoggi. allies -- there are allies within the member states and allies within the individuals working with the united nation. when it comes to decision-making bodies, we have to keep pushing. tamara: thank you. i think as i reflect on the weeks and months since jamaal's murder, one of's the features that has made it so tricky for

tamara, what tuning of these numbers? >> i checked in with a bunch of vemocrats who've i' interviewed in the last several months by the debate. i said what do you guys make of its? diit change the way you're thinking about the candidates? the responses i got are pretty well reflected in foul and one big question has been, for a very long time, will joe biden's lead be durable? part of the case that his campaign has been making and that voters havet of bought into is this idea that he'sa's electable, he's inevitable. a number of democratic voters said as so as that ini'vetaability seems less realc ld see a hit in his numbers. we're see ago hit in hitenumbers the debate. >> this is one of the first polls we're seeing after the debate comparing to a month ago. what do you think of the numbers? >> two things, ois, the race wide open, as tamara side. biden is frmly at the top, b it is tenuous. at the same time,ee're seing a solidification of the top tier. it's about --five candidate joe biden, sanders, kamala harris and elizab

hey, tamara, i know you've been monitoring conservative media as we try to as much as possible. what are the levels of support for this four-day argument? >> the levels of support are off the charts. and the reality is that listening to conservative radio over months the names you hear again and again are rashida tlaib and ilhan omar and alexandria ocasio-cortez. you hear those names again and again and again. so in conservative media the president's focus on them now, it basically reflects what's been going on for months. >> and maya, all of the warnings, be careful what you wish for, all of that included, let's fast forward to next week because a week from tonight we'll be talking about the testimony we believe of one robert mueller, a reluctant witness. do you think it will have the power to change the subject? and do you think it is fueling some of what we see? >> yes and yes. meaning yes, it has the power to change the conversation. robert mueller we already saw that when he came out and gave his press conference and the american public heard from his lips just simply the h
