How illegal guns from the u. S. Of fueling violence in mexico. And in sport the professional Footballers Association calls on the government to stop the racism in the English Premier League comes after Chelsea Player antonio riggers says he was racially abused during his sides win at talk now. It warm welcome to this hour of news well we begin with breaking news saudi arabias Public Prosecutor says 5 people have been sentenced to death and 3 sentenced to 24 years in prison for the murder of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi the closed door trial was held at the criminal court in the capital riyadh the identities of the convicted havent been released because she was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul last year the crime Prince Mohammed bin solomon said he had no prior knowledge of the operation well mohamed has 0 is live for us and hi there mohamed so lets talk 1st of all about the verdict will do we know. What we know is that far ive been sentenced to death 3 would get prison sentences. So i lived 3 who had been investigated by the prosecutor who offs is being cleared and they seem to be the main people in doubt the group that is been suspected of killing. On the 2nd of october 2018 when he walked into the saudi home seen it in full but never walked out they are the former high profile adviser to the royal family. And a man to be the right hand man of president of prince mark on Prince Mohammed bin sultan man as well as the former deputy intelligence chief city and then also released after being investigated by the prosecutor conceal the. Stumble. So most have been released so they live in 510 death sentences 3 prison sentences and then the others released thats what we know so far i mohammad war we expecting this verdict right now. Well its the been the that side that they had put them on trial and it was on going but. Its almost expected that it would come at this time but theres been a lot of pressure coming from the International Community particularly the United Nations which has not only been talking about the need for justice in the demo with the killing but also putting pressure on the United States and the European Union to act to see that there be. Justice theres been also a lot of pressure coming from turkey with its angry president at one point starting. You know licking information of what they knew about the mud and this is a matter that has generated so much global out. But what we know is theres been a lot of cover up theres been a lot of the lies coming from riyadh has been for that even donald trump whos a sworn a model for the of of the previous has. Called it the cover up the worst cover up so theres been a lot of misinformation here. And very few expect that these verdicts as it is with over with the 3 most important men in those 11 who have been put on trial released will apiece. The killing of that journalist Jamal Khashoggi has caused mohammed do you think to your point just there that with this verdict it will perhaps present more questions than it answers. Well thats how it looks of the moment and i think the main thing that is going to raise a lot of eyebrows is the release of the men who have been considered to be levy the act of murdering Jamal Khashoggi were talking about the former high profile. Adviser to the royal family. Syria the deputy intelligence chief and also the comb through in some of the time because they were seen the top people within the. 15 people who are believed to have been there went to model to show that he was kill them out of the been let off the hoop its going to it might create more anger in some quarters. Joining me there live from ankara well for more lets talk mad to minute to chelate he joins us now from istanbul hes than is an editor at the daily sabah thats an english language newspaper m. M. s very warm welcome to the program 1st of all your view on this verdict it seems that whats interesting about it are is more those people who havent been charged and those who have. Youre definitely right i think the fact that some high profile names have not been charged its raises questions on credibility of the trial itself and whether or not these people were just picked as scapegoats so that there is seemingly more going for a trial taking pay place and i think this you know the did the results announced today shows that it wasnt anything it hasnt been anything more than just finding some. Fines finding some names to blame the big issue or a big big problem or of or a complex murder on some names but the fact that to console the fact that theyre the cattani is not is released i think weighs a lot of questions on the credibility of this whole process and whether or not the International Community will be will be convinced with the result i think its a matter that we should look into because the top advise one of the top man on this whole process. Is released and i think there should be some sort of questioning on why this person was part of this and why this person is not been charged with anything and released basically. There is there has been evidence showing phone calls between some of the people who carried out this incident and the murderer and qahtani himself so there is evidence linking all these. Figures that are released with the actual event taking place the causal general himself for example and the fact that is not found guilty is i think a problematic. Thing here that would raise a lot of questions about the critical bit could ability of the trial and mehmet i one so what you think the reaction might be where you sit right now in turkey we know of course a major or a when kept the pressure on saudi arabia to get answers what do you think the reaction will be where you are since were talking here about again this more questions this raising more questions than answering those we already had. The duo reaction from unger i think from the beginning has been to seek a credible trial and to make sure that those who are responsible from top to bottom are brought to justice and i think the decision made today shows that the younger us concern from the beginning on the credibility of the the process were very place so todays decision will will make ancora again to raise these critical. Issue and i think the reaction will be will be similar to what it has been throughout the process from the beginning and that is the you know the fact that some blame is trying to be taken from you know those on the really really top in the royal family and responsible of from this brutal murder on camera will still the ridge reach that the those who are responsible from on the top the Decision Makers need to brought be brought to justice not do. As well as those who are who actually committed the crime we heard mamets donald trump say that and he said im not mad myron than some and say that it was the worst cover up ever so im wondering and white a reaction from the International Community what that might be in the days and hours ahead. Well the International Community has this i mean turkey has been dont basically the only vocal voice and International Community trying to make sure that some steps are taken against riyadh but beyond some condemnations i disregard i mean i did i dont think any of the politicians political leaders will come up with some concrete measures against riyadh however i think it is right in the International Communitys mind being the Civil SocietyIndonesian National community or the people will or the journalists in Asia National committee will make sure that this process and destroy announcement today. Find it split find did the right place and the agenda. Of the International Community but whether or not some concrete measures will be taken by the World Leaders i think thats something that is still questionable because no concrete measures have been taken against riad and this story is diminishing. The credibility of the of these leaders when it comes to human rights and democracy human rights and seeking justice for victims such as. Many tenak there joining me live from. Well its been over a year since journalist and u. S. Resident Jamal Khashoggi was killed it happened on october the 2nd 20000 inside the site a consulate where he was planning on picking up documents for his upcoming wedding circling officials said a hit team of 15 saudis was sent to stumble to carry out the murder at least 3 key players were removed from their high level post in connection to the case they included so i would once a top aide to crime Prince Mohammed bin soman hes believed to have overseen the murder whilst giving orders over skype and the Prosecutor Says he was investigated but not charged and was released study prosecutors said blame deputy intelligence chief siri for coordinating the killing but the Prosecutor Says he was released for insufficient evidence while the residence of the saudi consul general at the time ahmed tavi is where turkish investigators say geez body parts were disposed off he too has been released by the prosecutor well lets bring in aljazeera senior political analyst marwan bush are on the line from soha amar won an extraordinary verdict to a story that really has put the spotlight on saudi arabia. Yes absolutely. Perhaps the 4th think. Of this. Of this terrible tragedy against our colleague a journalist a man who ships it started with the saudi denial of that anything had happened at the so the consulate in istanbul saying that they dont know what he is and so on so forth at that point that there are these released what they knew about the incident then the saudis came forward with some partial admission saying roll elements in the south the intelligence have got it this affair and then they were hoping for a totally different missile of the entire affair trying to move one with all social festivities in saudi and but the relations with the trump ministration on so on so forth but that did not work out very well because of the especially media congressman the pressure on saudi arabia and as we move into the 4th stage and that is such as i want to turn to our Crisis Management by the saudis are trying or keeping up appearances as if they are dealing with the situation but there are a number of problems with that with the verdict today one to getting them out who she is a political assassination is x. Additional assassination killing and hence there has to be some political responsibilities and we also know from the cia the United States to the special report by the United Nations and yes calabar that the crown prince has a responsibility in this issue and were sure says that there is no Judicial Independence or good idea that the crown prince and his lackeys will not be prosecuted and hence once again the special adviser some of them. And they had of intelligence i see that he had been released. Number of others now are presumably going to be sentenced to death now since the civil guard events of are sent this is according to the prosecutor general did not have in his words any inmate t. 2 words as about why should she then that poses the question why would he kill them well the only reasonable explanation is because they were ordered to ordered by home what it has to be is someone in the political echelon clearly this should be shared this is it should be process does not have that kind of authority to investigate or to question the likes of the crown prince and his lackeys marwan timing why why come up with this verdict now if the International Community is simply going to turn around and say this is just not credible. Well there are but theres what theyre what their argument is is that thats been since the beginning when they 1st partially admitted the responsibility for the killing is that theyre trying to deal with it internally that this is not something that the United Nations the United States alone turkey will dictate and that this is an internal affair of saudi arabia and hes doing just that he is taking care of it and if you remember right after that partial admission we entered into that phase of secret trial and saudi arabia were never understood who how and why even whatever foreign ambassadors that were there did not really have much access to what was going on and now. Because of the continued pressure of coming out of the United States and other western allies of so if youre a b a because of the pressure coming out of turkey this issue could not just be washed away could be simply. You know sort of forced under the carpet they had to come up with some kind of answer and here we are in this phase that theyre saying theyre all gallaudets and we are prosecuting but all the elements but as i said this is a political ax additional killing and there is a political responsibilities but you cannot expect and so would you to be where there is no independent judiciary for this thing to take place got why this issue needs internationalization this issue needs the United Nations and other to get. Involved at least be some kind of an independent. Prosecutor short that would be able to look at the political implications of the saudi leadership and it but for the time meeting the saudis are trying to provide some answers. Partial some of them even wrongheaded answers in order to flaunt your question to your guest and i think this is the most important question will this do my guess is it was not to. My guess is that the soldiers are trying we reduce the constraints. And will sort of vary your grigory to provide some answers and i think distances will prove forth before to ensure to close lets International Community expects on this issue one bashara joining me there. Theres plenty more ahead on the news hour including entire times are scorched firefighters in a stilly a work around the clock to bring bushfires to control. And as for the bron james misses his 1st game of the season fire will be here to tell us how the lake has gone on with the woods there a church stop. Indias Main Opposition Congress party is holding a rally against a controversial new citizenship law demonstrations are again ramping up in the capital new delhi and several of the states Prime MinisterNarendra Modi has defended the legislation which opponents say discriminates against muslims in india at least 25. 00 people have died in violence as the law was passed in Parliament Earlier this month. Well lets go now to lisbon for our man who joins us now from new delhi hi there lists of with so how does the protest movement look today across india. Hi julie so as you can see behind me the protests are very much continuing for word jamey and we know is the mere university it is somewhat of a daily intake you should not just Educational Institution and jordan like those behind me here have really driven the protesters on for the last week every out of the country against this sort of comes from happening here and as you mentioned after a week of these protests have been ruined by students that are being hurt during very much by Civil Society we now have them made Opposition Party the congress from our people at the holding before a settin here in the capital delhi i was doing it in a very symbolic place i remember orioles one of the countrys founding of my our county in fact the place where our he was tremendously powerful and theyre doing that to send a message that the current respond has wanted a secular india and that the new egypt amendment actually is anti muslim and goes against our will indias secular constitution. Elizabeth and crown and theyre joining us live from new delhi elizabeth thank you. Well critics say that the citizenship law is another example of Narendra Modis government undermining indias secular constitution and marginalizing the 200000000 muslims who live in the country in august the government stripped statehood and autonomy from indias only muslim majority state kashmir that same month will be stepped up a National CitizenshipRegistry Program in the Northeastern State of assa thats nearly 2000000. 00 people many of them muslims potentially stateless and the Prime Minister has vowed to expand the program threatening to put those who cant prove their india in Detention Centers well as. Now to javid salary in new delhi hes a senior journalist and political commentator at mr ansari a very warm welcome to the program the Indian Government claims its the off position currently still king the violence and unrest that we see at some of these protests they say that a silent majority believe in the governments whats your view. Well this is a lame excuse that all governments make over into trouble theres no point in blaming the opposition if the opposition was that organized it wont be in the kind of state that it is particularly the Congress Party. If there is if blame best to live anywhere it must lie at the daughter of the cup but for bringing in this bill and fall. And for not opening a door or negotiating with the protestors this is not a community specific protest this is not a protest sponsored by the opposition in fact the opposition has been. Over week too late in joining the protest the Congress Party has now decided this awful decided to lead to children to the real this is a protest to speak spirited mainly by the mainly by destroyed and oh yes it is true that a large number of protesters obvious limbs but it is equally true and far more significant that a lot the majority of the protesters a coming from from across communities in across different spectrums of life in india the specter of this these protests are not limited to the capital and theyve spread across the length and breadth of this country as we speak over 100000 people are out of the streets and cannot pick out a state ruled by the be chippy protesting against these against the research law that has been drafted by by the better mr ansari i wonder if if its a simple as negotiating with the protest as why isnt the government what does it hope to gain by allowing these protests to continue until that date in january when were going to hear more about the rules around this law while all of this to go on. Yes because there is a section in the ruling dispensation which does believe that the longer this goes on it hurts them and the larger political agenda of polarizing this issue unfortunately for them they have not been able to succeed although these spate. Of violence that you see in different parts specially not that but this is helping them but by and large these protests have remained peaceful and these protests are not just cant protest says are not just muslims but they come from different communities the reason why theyre not reaching out because this government and mr miller in the movie out in no way terms of their own image mr newman will be likes to believe that hes a very strong and decisive leader but sometimes in trying to live up to that image he tends to do what many believe become authoritarian mr ansari is no end to mold z. Or any of them the members of his government paying attention to the in sanaa cry over this particular law i mean india is secular could credentials are under threat but does this in any way affect the direction of travel of the government. But it said he does his mr him mr modi is a very image conscious person hes gone out of his way to call cultivate the the the International Community specially the rest and now hes coming from increasingly come in for criticism yesterday he saw some evidence of off limits to more the trying to take he but he just took half a step back rather than taking a full step back and a lot of what mr modi said yesterday flies in the face of what the president of the republic and what mr moore these home minister the man considered to be the 2nd most powerful after Prime Minister modi had to say that on this issue they have made it abundantly clear in the past that this government is determined to bring in the an odyssey it will follow the national. N. A. A. And therefore now what mr modi seeing many see is a half measure the only way it will free tempers is by announcing a pullback of this controversial and not see soriano as he continues to. Continues with this the problem im afraid will continue on the streets the down side of the senior journalist and political commentator joining us there from new delhi thank you very much there. Well turkeys president rage of type pardon says his country cant handle another wave of Syrian Refugees 80000 people had towards the border the exodus follows heavy bombardment by russian and Syrian Forces in the last rebel held province all solid bellus reports. And so the nude livest pounded from above its people rushed towards the Turkish Border scrambling to escape the aerial onslaught from russian and syrian food since. The bottom.

Turkish president read your time over one is bracing for the exodus from it live turkey currently holds 3700000 Syrian Refugees he says they cannot.

Syrian rebels in the russian backed Syrian Forces had agreed to a ceasefire an orchestra in the south of that is something we are putting up every effort with russia for the attacks to stop and we will continue to do so in fact we are sending a delegation to moscow on monday until the bombardment stops the exodus will continue resistance homes abandoned empty targets in the way of president assads mission to retake the last rebel besting in shalah ballasts.

Indias Main Opposition Congress party is rallying in new delhi against a controversial citizenship law Prime MinisterNarendra Modi has defended the legislation which opponents say discriminates against muslims in his. Tens of thousands of syrians are fleeing towards the Turkish Border after a new round of airstrikes by russian and Syrian Forces on rebel held in the province turkeys president says his country cant cope with any more refugees. On a visit to nice air frances president has questioned whether west African Leaders want french troops to stay in the region to confront armed groups speaking in the capital may or may eman well mccall said he was reluctant to send soldiers to countries where their presence isnt clearly wanted mcchrystal and the shares of president mohammed do lists of food discussed recent attacks by fighters linked to i saw an al qaeda in the Sahara Desert region paid tribute to 13 french soldiers killed in mali last month when 2 helicopters collided. Place on places where french an International Presence is not accepted i say clearly we will draw the necessary conclusions because we are talking about sovereign states a sovereign state in the region seas i dont need for any International Military presence we should not be via along with idris is in a budget where hes been following this story for us i there are its not the 1st time is it weve heard this talk from a man well mccrum what is the view then in the region about the presence of french troops. Well basically when they find president trust that statement some weeks ago that was at the g. Summit in london there were even before then there was a growing cry among communities in the sahara region in the lectured region of west africa those voices included government officials by the way who say despite the presence of thousands of foreign troops in this old france by the way has more than 4500 soldiers in the sahara region alone that this by the presence of nearly 20000 foreign troops in the region these attacks by armed groups continue unabated in fact they even increasing in intensity as well as sophistication that was the statement made by the president of the share of the echo some of that ended this weekend and previously we heard president s of mali and broken afonso echoing the same feely now france feels that but much of that anger is targeted at the french who by the way west africans or francophone west africa see as probably the biggest partner the they should have in dealing with a crisis in the region unfortunately for them they dont see the results very very clearly as these attacks continue so these concerns are being echoed over and over again in the region and thats the reason why the french president wanted an assurance or public commitment by leaders in this region to say that they need the french troops there. Made a dress there joining us live from a boot with thank you. France is the Largest Overseas operation is in west africa but the relationship with former african colonies has gone increasingly tense recently ran for a half dozen french soldiers have based in mali and other parts of the sahara region where armed groups linked to iceland alqaeda are launching attacks the french operation started 5 years ago to coordinate security with the governments of mali mauritania the share of kenya faso and chad the leaders of the g. 5 c. Hill nations met last week in the share days after an attack on a military base there killed 71 soldiers these is appeal for more International Support to tackle armed groups but theres also recently been anti french protests in some cities in the region well its to stick them in all slow hes a professor in International Relations at the university of life science in norway and author of the book or in sahay rift fault lines of the african jihad stake a very warm welcome to the program is it simply an Impossible Task to control the Security Issues in this area which is absolutely vast because even with the presence of those fired 4500 french troops and those from the g 5 Political Alliance these attacks appear to be increasing not just in number but also in sophistication as well. Its certainly is a very hard task because as you say there as always do you need local partners in security and perhaps thats one of the reasons that the forces have so big problems theres a lot of ongoing parallel conflicts in the borderlands and sometimes the jihadists will take advantage of those pilot conflicts and you certainly need some quiet of that toro local support and local maybe even local forces as force multipliers to in order to secure those areas so its a daunting tasks and maybe the effort so far has been too much concentrated on winning the lottery weve theories and perhaps neglecting local security for the locals and perhaps neglecting the effort to win local hearts and minds on the ground and you need both of these bits in the puzzle to solve this puzzle listening to our correspondent and stick to dress he was saying you know there is a very real absalom of resentment on the ground but particularly a as to why this number of troops particularly of friendships and not making things safer in mcallen himself said i think he used the words that hes aware that frances involvement is in views in some way as a neo colonial imperialist move. Yes theres theres some reasons for that you know you have effort to transform some of these local institutions and sometimes its the effort its directed towards transforming them in a more european or french way and east meets some kind of resist arrest systems and resentment because of their colonial past but also one o. The reasons for this is. The neglect of focus on providing local security for the locals the focus so far has been on winning major weak theories and the french are very good at that and last but not least there have been a lot of Conspiracy Theory emerging off that the latest attacks in the niger. As so all of these 3 factors runs together and create dissent vironment but i still think france indeed is needed to play a key role in order to stop the lies the stereo old older local actors have to be the most Important Role to play something here ill hand it also there will have to leave it there thank you very much for joining us. Lets go back to our breaking news out of algeria where military chief awkward guide sally has died of a heart attack at the age of 80 im a backer is a Research Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations she joins us on skype from c. S. A warm welcome to the program and just explain for us how significant is the death of god salah. That is crucial is going to shift any cabinets and i knew that it was previous. Being on the side of the army of course it also being the new president sounded to buda who had been. D. Head of the country by game father himself so a lot of things have going well a lot of things maybe negotiate a bit of a hole it could be a star because people the army to mexico situation they can use them as transparent and they go she did a once. Just explain if you will for our viewers a little bit more of the context and the timing of his death because it comes at a time when theres been a very turbulent transitional period when she was key to making progress within right. Yes actually they. Came at the hands of your army to 1000 or it was up going to these positions but i was just at the very beginning go again one day and doing so would you have wanted to get rid of the old Army Generals that had many the seeded wars so we used to call them me now and she and he used to reduce all of you these because they are they have been just constable part of the crew of shows of january 211092 so that was probably due to drip that was used in food and so got the army and you really quite. Like so long youll choose what you feel that here i started and learned to hit x. Today actually get some of the ship that is outrageous to the field saying that we need to sacrifice and shoe turn the page and have a new regime and which he served kills. Thats what thats what he did so gates i had been central in wrenching going reorganizing the seas the real extent that his group think you know im of the back of their Research Fellow with the European Council on Foreign Relations thank you very much for your thoughts. Mexico is dealing with its highest murder rate on record and the majority of firearms involved are being smuggled in from the United States violence across the border has been on the increasing scrutiny after a number of u. S. Citizens were murdered last month john homan has more in part 2 of our series our arms trafficking from the u. S. To mexico this burnt up car became a wakeup call for the United States this is for the record. I need him for my grandchildren roberta. Shot up 3 women and 6 children american citizens killed in neighboring mexico. President trump said in response the cartels would be considered terrorist organizations but it was america may bullets found at the scene and likely america make guns smuggled across the border that we used to kill not just this family but tens of thousands more in mexico quantised suffered more the most this year theres been an average of 6 murders a day residents say the city swimming with us far arms. Anyone can carry a gun now and ive known cases where the exchange a couple of words with someone in a taco stand in a petrol station and they killed them. Yvonnes husband himself was shot dead leaving her to bring up 4 year old michelle and 10 year old danny alone its affected us in every way economically as well im not with my daughters where distance because i have to work every day and leave them here alone he was the breadwinner in mexico its extremely hard to buy a gun legally but criminals have found an easier way about 70 percent of the firearm seized here and traced have come from the u. S. The states attorney responsible for 2 quanah told how does here in the mix can cartels which of long relied on straw buyers and now using different tactics to buy more weapons states soffit in this part in different parts of the United States illegally by parts of guns then they crossed them into mexico and put the gun together here anyone can go to a gun store in the u. S. And buy a gun part theres no control of that in the registry then we find those arms at a crime scene in mexico and we have no way to trace them why because they have no serial number. Once the guns or parts of guns abort its easy to get them across a poorest border where there are few checks on the passing cards what impact would it have on the homicide rate here in tijuana if suddenly it became a lot more difficult to get guns over the border from the u. S. To mexico they dont but i believe that it would. I have an important impact at the moment that the criminals dont have a way to get firearms it will be hard to commit murder so of course the restriction would have an impact youve already but a little in the end though the blame lies not with the weapons but those we would ng them says a man who would know who group is it appears and i think its ones own responsibility because if they gave you an order you have to a bag if youre carrying or not if they tell me youre going to kill those people i have to do it and thats my own responsibility for the ones i kill depending on what they did wrong there are tens of thousands though who have done nothing but have had their families ripped apart now live on wants is a safer future for almost all says now theres so much killing so many dead too many cases unsolved people disappeared if all of this really stopped the traffic to farms the drugs wed have a bit of peace. Stopping the flow of guns into mexico wouldnt rectify that alone but from politicians to experts to ordinary make skins few doubt that it would help john home and al jazeera to quanah homeowners in areas of australia scorched by bush returning to see whats left around 205 as a burning many in the states of New South Wales and says the strain weeks of those fires have killed 9 people and destroyed at least a 1000 Properties One particularly hard hit Small Community is bound moral side of sydney jessica washington is there.
