An electric car great air race so we look at the challenge to go green in our sky. The state of saudi arabia is to blame for the murder of journalist. Thats the clear conclusion from a lead thing by the un special rapporteur i guess calmar whos calling for an International Investigation her report describes hostile shes deaf inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october as an extra judicial killing she says the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including crown Prince Mohammed bin said a man needs to be investigated and the report details taped conversations about body disposal in the moments before shes a rival at the consulate she says the killing is an International Crime with universal jurisdiction and shes urging a criminal inquiry by the United Nations or earlier my colleague folly about to both spoke exclusively to agnes callum our. The state of saudi arabia is 1st and foremost responsible for for the murder i think its important to and cyst that the executor of mr casually was a killing by as a state we have focused extensively on the identity of various individuals that where involved in the commission of the crime but 1st and foremost we must insist in putting the responsibility of the killing tools the state of saudi arabia it must bear responsibility for that killing and we must take action as a state to repay over killing what did you learn in these recordings about the way jamal has showed g. s body was disposed of because his remains have still not been found the recordings needs to be interpreted they do not tell a very straightforward story. Why towards dawn to use body i cannot deduct probably the sounds i have a hope that i can infer from the sound that something was done based on the technique or. Knowledge of the various people i have consented to it is when possible that mr cashel greenwalds 1st put that he was 1st injected with something and then that he was actually asphyxiated weezer plastic bag this is the possibility the nature and the extent of the dismemberment of these bodies i cannot comment upon its not possible allow me to add one thing when at least this was a recording is concerned that i have heard when mr cashel loses consciousness there is no evidence of the people that are there in the room attempting to take care of him attempting to rescue city came the 10. I think to do something that to me points to the fact that the notion that there is an accident that the next didnt happen doesnt quite match what i have heard there is nor tent to to do something and there is no scream so or. Any expression of of fear over whats happening you will be presenting this column are this report i understand on june 26th to the u. N. Human Rights Council which saudi arabia is a member of what do you think is going to happen what do you hope will happen now that youve released this report you know my report makes a friend of recommendations including to saudi arabia as a special rapporteur i am committed to establishing constructive relationship preserve the governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months they have not shown any interest in doing so or my reporting producer render a very common dish and including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to said that saudi arabia should take to demonstrate not a repetition which is a from them and told to mention of their responsibilities given that they have established that the responsibility of the state is involved well saudi arabias minister of state for Foreign Affairs has rejected the reports of other debates that was followed baseless allegations and clear contradictions he says only the kingdom has the or thorley to look into the case and that riyadh retains the right to take legal action in response to the findings rather has more from. Response. Saudi reaction to the final report issued by the United Nations special rapporteur. Was expected the government does not seem to be pleased with the chilling details that were presented in the report and also about the fact that it implicates saudi officials of the highest level in the murder of. On the other hand the turkish government seems to be pleased Turkish Foreign minister. Said that he fully endorsed the content of the report and the need for the perpetrators to be prosecuted as soon as possible turkey seems to be now waiting to see what kind of next step that the saudi government will take if the saudis are willing to for further cooperation with the turkish government that could be a new chapter of the saudis decide not to cooperate i think the turkish government is going to press ahead for the need for an International Criminal investigation to start as soon as possible while turkish president rajapaksa berto on saudi arabia will pay a price for a hotshot jeans murder. In the report the un says saudis are definitely guilty and they definitely had knowledge about this matter the also see the saudi stance in turkey was wrong pay the price for this they will be held accountable for. Her spoken to aljazeera she says the world has been left in the dark about saudi arabias investigation. When it comes to the comments from beer and other saudi officials that the u. N. Report did not come with anything new i would like to ask them why they didnt put the perpetrators on public trial and why you didnt hold them accountable why cant the saudis be more open and provide us with details of the investigation and the socalled trial that is happening behind closed doors well John Yearwood is an executive board member of the International Press institute and chief executive of the year wood media group he says the report is an important 1st step. Now i think its up to the human Rights Council its up to the Security Council and indeed its up to the Security Sector general himself to now move the ball and have a proper criminal investigation and then move the whole the the various individuals in saudi arabia responsible for the execution of a very very good journalist i dont expect a tremendous amount coming in the short term from the white house but i think that there is an opportunity for members of congress to weigh in and they can then pressure the white house to act in this case because if the white house does not do anything the saudis would think that what they did was was normal and what they think what they did was justifiable its incredibly important that everyone from even as high as the crown prince be held responsible for the execution of jamal conservate 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 heightism castro has more from washington d. C. 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 on that 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 n. 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 mom 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 the sternest the u. N. Secretary general agrees there needs to be a full transparent investigation into the killing but his Spokesman Says on sunday the terrorist doesnt have the authority to launch it himself things baze has more from the United Nations 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 until you get terrorists 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 icing this is his no one doubts and correlate with. Credentials this is from our. This is the secretary its position this is the secretary generals but they say they stole my
