But the conflict is far from over. He turns the camera on himself when i so take control and his family off forced to flee no where to hide a witness documentary on aljazeera. Let me get the top stories on aljazeera the us President Donald Trump has called the downing of an americans runover the strait of hormuz a very big mystery washington says these surveillance drone was flying at High Altitude in International Airspace 34 kilometers off the coast of iran when it was hit by a surface to air missile. Or irans foreign minister on the other hand says the drone took off from the u. A. E. And was shot down by the revolutionary guard after it violated iranian airspace they say it was shot down your quote from a bar. Province in southern iran. Several people have been injured in violent demonstrations in georgias capital Tbilisi Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters who tried to Storm Parliament after a visiting russian politician was allowed to address lawmakers there. Well lets take a look at the type of drone that was shot down the are a cue for a global hawk aircraft system is one of the u. S. Militarys most sophisticated pieces of hardware it provides intelligence and surveillance in real time and can reach an altitude of 60000 feet thats 18000 meters much higher than a commercial aircraft and it doesnt come cheap Industry Experts say one drone costs about 130000000. 00 its been used in iraq afghanistan and north africa and parts of the Asia Pacific Region earlier i spoke to mark kimmitt hes a retired u. S. Army Brigadier General and former assistant secretary of state for Political Military Affairs under president george w. Bush he says Donald Trumps aggressive stance towards iran is not a sign that he wants war. Well i dont see those as mixed messages at all he should be outraged that american aircraft was shot down by an adversary but at the same time he cant necessarily point at that ever series could have been a mistake made by a lower level general for which he and all of us should expect that the iranian government takes actions against but i think in total what that indicates is that wall that you say its not mixed messages but its not i think its a change in tone no no no i dont think it is at all in fact the president has been remarkably consistent on the fact that he is trying to avoid war if he doesnt want to see a war he has said nothing but he doesnt want to see a warning wants to see negotiations so he has been consistent in that and but it is for anyone not to express outrage at the fact that an American Asset was shot down by a foreign adversary i think would be disingenuous.

A reception that possibly exceeded anything she could even expect in his own country the last time a chinese head of state was here was 14 years ago a reflection of a relationship that in recent years has often been strained mainly over north Koreas Nuclear bomb and missile development.

Greece and cyprus have urged the e. U. To issue sanctions against turkey after it deployed a 2nd drilling ship off the north east coast of cyprus the vessel is looking for oral and gas and what cyprus says is its territory but ankara says the area falls under the jurisdiction of Turkish Cypriots. The Greek Cypriot leaders are not mincing words they expect action at the european summit underway in brussels. We agreed to prepare the ground at the european summit and take the appropriate decisions even going so far as to impose sanctions against tokyo if it is proven that there has been drilling inside the city breaks loose of Economic Zone turkey says its drilling ship has started exploring the sea floor in an area 45 nautical miles west of cypress its far from the area cyprus has licensed Multinational Oil companies to explore but still within a 200 nautical mile radius where cyprus claims it has the sole right to exploit mineral wealth under the sea. Both the e. U.

And now the prospect of money is real in the last few weeks cyprus is signed an agreement with companies to export gets to egypt so suddenly this is no wheel. And so it could end up.

The government says its worth 9000000000 other people say with lets not lets not it will help reduce the the big debt ratio that we have this is also the financial crisis.

The gruesome details of how the saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was butchered by same complot triodes have now been revealed in a u. N. Investigative report it demands an International Inquiry to find those responsible at the highest level so who will hold the saudi authorities to account this is inside story. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Hello and welcome to the program on Martin Dennis now the state of saudi arabia is responsible for the murder of democracy thats the conclusion of the investigation into the journalist death a un special rapporteur turner has revealed in grisly detail how saudi agents planned the killing and carved up his body inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october and that says agnes kalama could not have been done without the knowledge of senior members of government and the crown Prince Mohammed bin sound man democracy was a columnist for the Washington Post hed moved to the us because he feared his writing would get him arrested at home he maintained until the end that he wasnt a dissident he just wanted the freedom to write his opinions lets hear from 4 months before he was so brutally murdered. I began to feel the pressure so i just decided to leave before it is too late and yes a couple of months that id left friends of mine where i listed many people i know throughout travel so i sense goodness that i did that a little boy safe or at least i would have been told at my home right now but from trouble at least listed and thats the thing i want in my retirement im 60 years old and they want to enjoy life and they want to be free to speak what my country. So that was the man himself now here are some of the main points in the u. N. Investigators report it says there is credible evidence that the state of saudi arabia was responsible for the quote premeditated and extra judicial killing it recommends further investigation of high level saudi officials including the crown prince abdullahs kalama says evidence of the crime couldnt of been destroyed without mohammed bin sa mans knowledge shes calling for sanctions against him and his assets until he is found to be innocent and she wants the trial of 11 suspects who societies say is underway in the kingdom to be suspended ms cullen maher says its an International Crime that could come under the principle of universal jurisdiction meaning that the suspects could be investigated anywhere in the world thanks. Right lets introduce our guests now in istanbul we have mehmet chelate koos managing editor of the daily 7 newspaper in washington d. C. Courtney raj who is advocacy director for the committee to protect journalists to see p. J. And joining us from islamabad in pakistan toby cadman an International Human rights lawyer welcome to you all but mehmet can i start with you in istanbul this is obviously the location of this heinous crime turkey has welcomed the report what is turkey going to do next. Well turkey has welcomed the the report and this is actually in a way it confirms turkeys position from the 1st day the fact that an International Investigation has been lounge and that it needs to be you know discussed at the International Level is something that turkey has pushed forward from Going Forward from from today on or from says the report has been released turkey will continue this added to it in this position that Jamal Khashoggi case is not something that we can isolate and we can keep it in saudi arabia it is an International Incident that took place in turkey and its an international its an International Issue because you know this is something that saudi arabia has done beyond its borders against a dissident journal absolutely man it was forward to make sure i absolutely these are the points very clearly made in the special rabbitohs report my question to you is why what is preventing turkey from going to need it to the United Nations and requesting this International Impartial inquiry. Well turkey has taken steps actually to do that turkey has been discussing with its allies and and partners to make sure that this invested investigation and this case is not left aside and but i mean the fact that tookie has been taking these steps is is you know not i mean we cant say that turkey has not done anything yet and and he will not do Going Forward. But i want to also mention that turkey cannot do this by itself for it to be a strong case in the International Community in need support of key players in the International Community so that the case is not just some to in turkey again you know this case is not turning into something thats kind of versus riyadh so to you wants to be very diligent and very careful when it comes to making sure that this case is handled but at the same time they keep their diplomatic relations with saudi arabia instead of foreign aggressive confrontation so what it will do is something that the Foreign Ministry or anchor or will decide but turkey has not been idle when it comes to taking this to an International Level right and i think it will keep pushing for this all right and coming to courtney now in washington in many ways you can hear from what mehmet was saying this kind of balancing act that many of those interested in this case are trying to maintain many people see saudi arabia as a key ally particularly western as a kohls none more so the way you are in washington d. C. Where President Trump has a personal relationship with mohamed bin sound man and other members of the royal family what do you expect the americans to do in the light of this report. Well the report makes it clear that the u. S. Has a responsibility to investigate and to open hearings and to hold those accountable including at the highest level responsible the report actually says that the crown Prince Mohammed bin salmaan should be held responsible until there is evidence that he was not actually responsible given the power structure in saudi arabia and the unlikelihood that this could have happened without his you know him being involved a finding that echoes what a u. S. Intelligence report already found last year now what do i expect in light of the arms deal that President Trump is pushing through i dont expect much from the administration i think well have to rely on congress this means that Congress Needs to definitely hold hearings and demand that the intelligence reports related to what was known by whom when what sort of signals intelligence was their duty to warn needs to be revealed in the report agnus says that she cannot clarify whether or not there was sufficient information in advance tyree duty to warn so these these this needs to be made public and weve actually sued under a freedom of information request with the night center to reveal this information all right coming to you to be in islamabad. So the report is is is pretty clear in many ways but its not exactly the smoking gun is it whose responsibility is it under International Law to now pick up the battle and launch this International Impartial inquiry that the report express equals full. Well i think 1st of all its important to say that this is a damning report is one of the strongest or strong as worded reports that ive seen coming from a special rapporteur. But that is indicative of the situation under review so one would expect it to to set out. Its not a criminal investigations as important to 2 and allies what the special rapporteur actually has a mandate in jurisdiction to look at and what she is recommending is that there is an entire International Criminal investigation or there was a criminal investigation so its important that its now taken to the next few you asked the guest in in turkey or what will the text authorities are going to do well of course its expected that turkey will want to could coordinate that coordinate this with other states to ensure that there is broad support for this but it needs to go to the United Nations through the Security Council a Human Rights Council to to request the formation of an investigative body because it now needs to move to a criminal investigation and then that can potentially lead to a process of justice and accountability be something thats on the national or International Level that remains to be seen sorry to interrupt does it not need to be requested does the process not actually need to be triggered by a member state of the United Nations the u. N. Secretary general has said that it he said that hes waiting for a member state to come and request the very investigation inquiry that were talking about. Absolutely and this is something that ive spoken on i was there before by saying that he needs to make a formal request for the formation of an Investigative Committee to look into this we would hope that other states would support this of course we have i have already heard about the diplomatic relations frankly my position is tough you cant have it both ways you cant make statements of condemnation and demand action but then want to retain diplomatic ties with a state thats carried out at an execution of this magnitude in this country because you have a ways right also the same time we want to see country countries like the United Kingdom france germany even the United States i appreciate we should expect too much for the United States under a truck ministration but at same time all of these states that claim to advocate for the rule of law and the protection of human rights of fundamental freedoms and particularly human rights defenders and previous russian well they need they they need to step forward absolutely hate to put this on the i dont believe they can i dont nations can i just go to say you disagreeing rather emphatically whats your point so well i mean i think the point that this report makes clear is that the secretary general has it in his power to launch a criminal investigation thats very clear and yes his findings is that this idea that somehow we are waiting for a formal request by turkey what does that really mean it is a she actually uses the word absurd to describe this kind of equivocation so i think what makes clear is that the u. N. Secretary general has a responsibility given the International Crime that has been committed to open a criminal investigation and that is very clear in her report so this ongoing you know discussion about whether a member state needs to make a formal request or not you know weve heard many many comments from Member States about the need for an international. We now have a report that shows why the secretary general has that power so now we need to the u. N. To step up and do its job and open a criminal investigation which weve been calling for from the outset all right and mehmet its not in months since this crime took place in istanbul which is a quite a long time given the nature and the high profile level of interest in the case do you think that perhaps is this ambivalence or a perceived ambivalence on the part of the turkish authorities to go the extra mile trying to maintain this this balance between with bilateral relations with riyadh as well as proclaiming the. Alarm and and discontent about whats going on do you think its that that might be in many ways preventing this case being resolved. I think its a very unfair to say that took this position as and divil and in this case but at the same time we should acknowledge that turkey has been one of the perhaps the most vocal member state at the united name of the United Nations about this case and indeed your National Committee of president out of the on has been one of the most vocal about this Foreign Ministry has been one of the most vocal but and turkey has not pushed this you know taken the case today an International Arena off its table at any time in the past 9 months but it is also i think its very unfair to just narrow down to turkeys narrow this down to turkeys job when i did that when i went back aviation itself and but did it happen that way i understand that i understand that but it is also that this is a case that we cannot just simply narrow it down to turkey saudi arabia relationship or a case between turkey and saudi arabia International Community and Member States of the United States have a very very tough job to actually own this case and support turkey if you had received the turkey had received a genuine support of e. U. Member states or of the United Nation Member States. At a whole turkey would have done that long time ago but i mean turkey also has its own interest that he needs to protect when it comes to its relationship with saudi arabia having said that we cannot by any means say that turkey has put turkish position or unconscious position has been a weak one or an ambivalent want to again has been what i mean what else can they do at this point is i think. To expect what they can do is just i mean to only expect International Community support in turkish position and when it comes in the case ok saudi arabia. Specifically in the report. Agnes calmar she refers to this case is being suitable to be looked at within the concept of International Jurisdiction what does that mean because its clearly not just a domestic issue as the saudis have been treating it up and up until now what does it mean when she says it could be pursued under the terms of International Jurisdiction. Yes i think the special rapporteur is actually made a number of comments as to what your stiction is available and shes mentioned universal jurisdiction has already been discussed she is calling for International Accountability now one of the one of the questions that has previously been raised is whether the formation of an international Investigative Committee could could lead to the creation of International Accountability that would of course have to be a special mechanism as has been discussed previously the International Criminal court would have no jurisdiction over matters such as this so it would need to be a separate body that would be created very much like the special tribunal for lebanon or potentially the the the specialist chambers for kosovo which has recently been created in the hague so it would need to be something something very very new and thats going to require a great deal of support from Member States to to to effectively to support such an initiative. Going back to very quickly if i may to to qualify the answer as to whether the u. N. Can actually do anything without states a poor state Initiative Speaker in in washington is quite right that you dont have to sit back and wait that wasnt the point i was trying to make the point is that for initiatives such as this you are going to require International Support Member States support to get an initiative off the ground that doesnt mean that the u. N. Should sit back and do nothing unless turkey initiates this but the special repertoire in her report is quite clear on that on what the responsibilities are and frankly many of us have been calling for this for 4 months right action need to be taken but youve got to youve got to look at the practical realities of how you get off the ground how its going to be supported what its mandate is going to be. For that you need to have state support you cant you cant just do it or sold off of the initiative right even game that would be the ideal solution all right courtney so from what were hearing the next step to be taken would require a great deal of effort concerted effort on the part of the International Community not just turkey on its own when were talking about the United States which of course is the major player the major Global Player if theres an 8000000000 dollar arms deal in the works at the white house is trying to get through despite congress and many of the other western countries have been quite new to it havent they in terms of this this report and its findings how much appetite do you think that the westerners in particular but the International Community more generally will have to take on saudi arabia because thats what its going to going to require isnt it and saudi arabia of course is a major Regional Power. Absolutely i mean i think youve hit the nail on the head not only is it a Regional Power but it is also a donor country and supports many countries around the world so its not only the western countries that are finding it difficult to speak out. I think also in you know agness report she talks about the importance that saudi arabia needs to send a signal that it is committed to finding justice and the non repetition of this type of crime and she suggests a couple of ways to do this one is that this ridiculous closed door trial where we dont even know who is on trial should be stopped and we understand that there may be Security Council member countries who have been able to observe that country that socalled trial and nothing has been revealed about that 2nd we have seen some European Countries talk about restricting arms deals they have put sanctions on some officials but it is not reaching the high level officials according to i guess as report so it is important that the you know how to state that those in power in the country are held responsible and its going to be challenging because of the dynamics of the saudi u. S. Relationship but we have seen some efforts in congress to assert their role and ensure that the United States plays a leading role in and ensuring these norms and just a point on turkey you know turkey has really leveraged this you know what happened in their consulate in the consulate there to trickle out information you know they provided information for agness report but theyre also you know using this to whitewash the fact that they are the leading jailer of journalists and i think its very important that we see and im nessus report she recommends that turkey and saudi arabia release all of the journalists and activists and political dissidents who are in prison in those countries right and thats absolutely something we can see the International Community get behind right ok mehmet coming by. That in istanbul i mean there is implied criticism within the report not only for his record on on jailing jenice but also for the. Judicial process the investigation thats been on thats been carried out to date she said that that wasnt really up to International Standards but let me put it to you the backdrop to all of this of course is one of mounting tension in the gulf involving all of the players that were actually talking about the United States and saudi arabia rabia of course is pivotal given that how do you think turkey would react if nothing of any consequence really comes about is as a result of this report because it could quite easily be just kicked down the road for another time look i think to answer this question we need to we need to understand in a way why. Carry out this you know this execution in turkey in istanbul 1st of all i think there was a message given to turkey that you know in the post arab spring the fact that turkey sided with the people against the monarchs i think that message given to turkey hey look you cannot side with the people or the dissidents secondly give a message to the dissidents from many different arab nations that have been in turkey that look wherever you go you will not be safe 3rd it also i think if they are trying to give a message to rivals such as iran look i am keep a ball to actually confront even with a super power i mean with the power in the region such as turkey so i am capable and i am powerful so when it comes to. What turkey will do if this if so do your obeah once to confront would turkey aggressively. You know in in similar to what happened in istanbul in the consulate i think turkey will also take its own acts. Ns to face the confrontation but this is not as far as i know is what took you once trying to accomplish what saudi arabia turkey wants to achieve a stable relationship with saudi arabia and turkey wants stability in the region that will serve you know serve the interests of all players ok that is not so its own so is i need to jump in because we are running out of time and i want to get back to you and b. But fest you call me if nothing comes as a result of this report what are the implications then for gen this around the world look this is this is really problematic that we already have no meaningful action 9 months after a brazen murder and a 3rd Party Country by a state we know is now responsible for that this has sent a very very chilling signal to journalists working around the world weve already seen that the past several years since the arab spring was mentioned have really been the most dangerous on record for journalists with record numbers of journalists being murdered 80 percent rise last year and record numbers of journalists being imprisoned so the fact that jamal has shocked she has been murdered in cold blood no one has been held responsible and ongoing impunity sends a signal that even if we know who did it even if we know her responsibility lies were still going to give that and if it were still going to get off scot free how does a chilling message write to be funny to you and if you could be really really brief please what would be the implications of the up holding of international norms. Well i think what courtney said is chilling that is the most and important thing here if we do nothing it is setting a very very dangerous precedent states will all see that they can carry or acts like this and this is this is one of the worst things that weve seen but i think we also need to look at some of the very important points that that has has brought her and her report its not just about criminal accountability its setting up an institutional framework under the United Nations for human rights defenders favorite person all of those points are very very important the trial we we see in saudi arabia is a total farce is its not aimed accountability and i fully agree that that needs to be suspended that does like the to be accountability this is not this is not the murder of one man this is a chilling act by a brutal state and i think we should all be very afraid if nothing comes from that thank you all very much indeed a minute challenge in istanbul court.
