That everyone from even as high as the crown prince be held responsible for the execution of jamal conservate in fact i met jamal a few years ago and i still have his card so i think for jamal and certainly for what weve seen happening in saudi arabia with other journalists who have been arrested and still in prison i think something should be done so that they can be released and jamal his his death will not be in vain do you think this all has an impact on saudi arabia because the Immediate Response at least from of them to bear the Saudi Arabian minister of state for Foreign Affairs is kind of dismissive of the report saying it was full of baseless allegations and unclear contradictions. Well its not surprise what foreign minister said because you would expect him certainly speaking for the leadership of saudi arabia and and if you read the report and or follow reports from. Istanbul from turkey and others saudi arabia clearly clearly violated International Law and its clear that they. They literally hacked mr could show you to death and that should not be allowed to stand the International Community whether its the u. S. Congress or at some point u. S. Administration should hold those responsible for what happened to mr. Bush. To account for what for what happened in that consulate in istanbul John Yearwood we thank you very much for joining us from florida well the u. S. State Department Says its looking closely at the report and that it supports kalam mars mission to investigate extra judicial summary or arbitrary executions cassar has more from washington. Well the statement from the u. S. State department that was just released said that the saudi government should continue to ascertain all the facts and hold those responsible for the murder accountable and that if additional facts come to light the u. S. Will consider further measures whats left out of this though is the international of knowledge meant of this trial happening in saudi arabia as lacking transparency the 11 defendants are not even named and so its unclear exactly how these additional facts would come to light and that has led to frustration which is a continuation of what members of congress have been expressing since the cia concluded that n. B. S. Ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi senator Lindsey Graham who is a supporter of donald trump has broken with the president on this issue. Well heres where im at a lot of this is classified ive been briefed by the agencies involved theres 0 doubt moment and this was orchestrated by the n. B. A. s inner circle approved by him done with his knowledge and its part of the way he does business. And in december senator graham was among those who pushed through a Senate Resolution that named m. B. s as responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi but as far as sanctions go no tangible consequences have been suffered by m. P. s or saudi arabia over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi with trump so far still mum in response to the u. N. Reports continuing with the defense of saudi arabia as an important u. S. Ally and the relationship based on commerce and military strategy between the 2 nations too valuable in the view of the administration to jeopardize over the killing of this journalist. Well the u. N. Secretary general agrees there needs to be a full transparent investigation into these killing but his Spokesman Says the terrorist doesnt have the all 42 a long shot himself james mays has more from the un special rapporteur agnes kalama says shes not happy with the progress of the saudi investigation she says one of the best courses of action would be through the u. N. Secretary general and tonio good terrorist to set up a criminal investigation thats not going to happen though just listen to his official Spokes Person the secretary general as weve been saying does not have the power or the authority to launch criminal investigations without a mandate from a competent into a governmental body. The special ruffle to is an eminent legal expert the secretary general is not a lawyer there are other lawyers who agree with her he has the power to do this what is i sing this is his no one doubts. Credentials this is from our. This is the secretary its position this is the secretary generals basis based on what the legal advice can be see the legal advice if there is legal annoys you as you know whether in any institution advice between a secretary persons lawyer. And that person is not going to be shared this is. Our position based on the charter the secretary general ban is basing his decision not to act on this the u. N. Charter the governing document of this organization but nowhere in here does it say anything about his powers to set up investigations its relevant not just in this case the secretary general has said there should be an investigation into the recent tanker attacks in the gulf but again he says he doesnt have the power to set one up to marshal ya looks at the sequence of events leading up to. The murder. Eights months off to Jamal Khashoggi and to the saudi consulates in istanbul never to be seen again more chilling details of whats happened to the journalists have been revealed on wednesday the United Nations special repertory tossed with investigating casualties murder released her reports in its quotes from recordings she heard firsthand provided by turkish intelligence extracts that are truly gruesome according to the reports on september 28th 4 days before she was murdered a security attache stationed at the consulates telephoned my head of the trip and advisor at the royal courts of qom Prince Mohammed bin salim on the trip the security official ji who visited the consulate earlier that day will indeed return on october 2nd yes we are all shocked we just spoke i said how are you there isnt anything official but its known that he is one of the people salt later that same day the saudi consul general himself some of the tavi spoke to another individual known only as a head of state security called me and they have an assignment they need a person from your protocol for a special in a Top Secret Mission the assignment is security related over the next 3 days at least 2 consular staff travel to riyadh to be briefed on the mission before returning back to resemble they were joined separately by the rest of the hit squad headed by my head of the trip according to the recordings and as reported by the u.

But 1st the emir of kuwait has made his 1st state visit to iraq since forces invaded the gulf state in 1900. Visited baghdad is being seen as an attempt to tension in the gulf iraq has close ties with iran and the United States called for wisdom and reason to avoid any confrontation. Reports from baghdad. Kuwaits the mayor shifts. Arrived in baghdad earlier on wednesday for his 1st state visit to iraq and he was greeted with great fanfare when he arrived at the airport he was received by it off the Prime Minister out of that ive been one of the he was subsequently taken to the palace he met with various officials here including it off the president but him saw to him now we knew before the visit took place that things that were going to be discussed were things such as the bilateral relationship between that off and kuwait also ways of trying to improve the relationship between both countries but clearly at the top of the agenda of things to be discussed was the rising regional tension and the tensions that are escalating also between the u. S. And iran there at all because felt increasingly squeezed between those 2 biggest allies iran and the United States and it off has really been at the epicenter of a flurry of diplomatic activity as of late in may you had u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei all making a surprise visit to write off in which he discussed with officials the fact that america was claiming that american interests and personnel were under threat by iran also in the last few weeks you had a visit by the foreign minister of germany and the foreign minister of a month just in the last several days now in those visits you had been discussing also ways of trying to deescalate the tensions that are going on right now but of course with the arrival of the emir of kuwait who is considered to be one of the most highly respected diplomats in the region it was clear that at the top of the agenda what was going to be discussed most importantly was ways of trying to figure out how to deescalate these tensions between the u. S. And iran now by the time that the emir had left that not many details had trickled out we know that he met with these officials we know that it was discussed how to try to how to try to increase the trade relationship between both countries how to try to increase bilateral relationship also that it was a. Us ways of trying to deescalate the tensions but as far as how they are going to try to do that how theyre going to try to effect that were just not sure yet but it is expected that in the days to come we will be getting more details about efforts by both kuwait and iraq to try to the escalate these mounting tensions meanwhile a top french diplomat emmanuelle has arrived in iran for talks of tension builds between washington and tehran they who has been pushing back against u. S. Efforts to isolate iran and is trying to keep a 2050 Nuclear Deal Alive and the u. S. Special envoy to iran is heading to the gulf region brian hook will hold meetings in several countries including saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates and wait hell be sharing intelligence on perceived threats from iran it follows the u. S. Governments announcement that its sending an extra 1000. 00 troops to the middle east President Trump and secretary pompei i have expressed very clearly our willingness to negotiate with iran when the time is right no one should be uncertain about our desire for peace or our readiness to normalize relations should we reach a comprehensive deal we have put the possibility of a much Brighter Future on the table for the iranian people Hillary Mann Leverett is a former White House National security official and coauthor of going to america must accept the Islamic Republic of iran shes joining us from washington d. C. Thanks very much for being with us once again on the aljazeera news saying ryan will be heading to the gulf what message will he be carrying to. Well its very interesting his initial intention for his trip to the gulf was to go to bahrain and neighboring countries as part of jared cushion great grand arab israeli peace plan but now that neither the israelis nor the palestinians have been invited to bahrain for this conference brian hooks agenda has changed somewhat the seriousness of his travel here in washington is its not perceived very seriously brian hook is someone who is looked at as really a mouthpiece for the administration but not someone who actually speaks for the administration in fact last year when the french president will call and came for a visit to see President Trump and to argue for the americans to stay in the Iran Nuclear Deal president across such a trump you know were making progress with brian hook on a number of issues dealing with iran so that the United States the u. S. Grievances can be addressed and President Trump its almost a joke here in washington said well who is brian hook and why does he matter so why do you think he has been that shows and to take this trip on that only to the gulf but then he goes on to meets european allies of the u. S. Well i think even though he is not he himself is not perceived with great seriousness and he himself is not caring in my understanding anything of real substance there has been a decision from the very top from President Trump from what i understand to keep this strategy very focused on iran that President Trump doesnt see it quite right now to make the bigger better deal that hes promised but he does see it on the horizon and he wants to keep as much out there as possible and so that seems somewhat contradictory sometimes because it comes out in a very assertive aggressive militaristic rhetoric and even actions on the part of the United States but on the other hand you know youre now seeing many different messages from many different voices in the administration talking about having some sort of comprehensive deal with iran some grand bargain some kind of peaceful reconciliation yeah and its just part of a strategy to keep as much out there as possible you know you raise a good point hilary because the reports coming out of the u. S. In fact seem to suggest that trump has in private at least hes pushing his representatives to walk back their tough talk on iran and and reiterate that the United States is not interested in any military confrontation with iran if thats true if these reports are true what do you make of the change in tone and particularly why now considering just a few days ago also the secretary of states said that everything was on the table when it comes to iran including military action. Yes i mean President Trump from from the very beginning from when he campaigned in 2016 has had 2 messages about iran one is that he thought that the deal that obama struck was terrible not because the deal itself was so bad that president obama really was so bad and that he trump was so such a great deal maker he could make such a bigger better deal and the way he was going to do that was to get extremely tough with iran extremely aggressive and militaristic but at the same time hold out more or more of a you know what what would be in it for iran there could be more Business Opportunity with the United States there could be normalization there could be a comprehensive deal things that president obama actually didnt even offer iran so youve had these 2 messages come out of President Trump himself and he has tried to play his own advisors to use them when its convenient you someone hard line like ambassador john bolton his National Security adviser to really put forward a hardline approach or even might pompei who is also a hawk on iran but then he himself trump himself to come out with conciliatory tones and messages and so this strategy as ive seen it from 2016 has been pretty consistent remarkably for President Trump to have people who can actually push a militaristic approach but then he trump himself can come in on his you know we would say on his white horse to save the day with his grand bargain and his great deal ok Hillary Mann Leverett we thank you very much for joining us from washington. News hour. In the race to. Prime minister. For the 1st time. A little later.
