C. To report on the u. S. Position on the motive as a question for us the child strength of books back of the events that led us here this is the last moment jamal who shows he was seen alive its october 2nd 2018 the journalist who wrote for the Washington Post newspaper had gone to the saudi consulate in istanbul to get documents he needed for his wedding his to his fiance and egypt ching has waited for him outside turkish prosecutors say he was murdered his body dismembered and the remains never found 20 sound is indicted for murder to be tried in their absence in a court in Istanbul Police say Security Camera video and photographs show the saudi suspects arriving in istanbul on the day who shows he was killed other Video Evidence shows them checking into a hotel going to the consulate before returning to the airport and leaving that night you stumble prosecutors accuse former deputy head of saudi general intelligence of mcgillis sciri a former royal advisor Sar Odell Qahtani of instigating murder with monstrous intent. The 18 other defendants include this man who had moved tribe who frequently traveled with the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin soma on the show shes murdered caused widespread revulsion around the world hed been in selfimposed exile for around a year because he was afraid of being arrested if he returned home it formally been closed to the saudi royal family but in recent years became a vocal critic of the Saudi Crown Prince some western governments and the cia said they believe muhammad bin solomon ordered the killing the kingdom denies that last december a saudi called sentenced 5 men today since 3 to jail after a long and secretive trial the uns special rapporteur extra judicial summary or arbitrary executions i can as kalama who completed a 6 month investigation into could show his murder said the saudi trial made a mockery of justice none of the guilty officially named last may who shows his sons said they forgave the murderers Rights Groups said the pardon had been forced on said it was another saudi example of a parody of justice turkey accuses the saudi government of obstructing the Murder Investigation the saudis say the istanbul prosecutor didnt comply with requests to share information the Saudi Crown Prince has denied ordering the murder but admitted bearing responsibility is the kingdoms effective leader stand again for aging kings.

And go live now to send him calls yolu who has been following the 1st day of the trial from istanbul said and just run us through what happened today in court. What. Does fiance had to eject came with her lawyer and the un the 1st to arrive in this column i was also in the courtroom today the trial was an absentee or so none of the 20 suspects were there but they had lawyers according to turkish law in order to launch a Court Proceeding the defendant side also needs to have a lawyer thats why the government but they appointed them lawyers we had the chance to listen to the witnesses of this case there are 54 witnesses in this indictment that covers your mouth to shoot jews. In istanbul and. We listened almost 10 of them and they were mostly to drivers technique technical people working in the consulate and the consuls of residence in istanbul basically their testimonies were interesting because they they repeated what they said before before the indictment was fired they were ordered to take some days off for instance one statement was very interesting one technical worker said that he was in my ear he was called by the security personnel to the residence to lit the fire for the oven the tunder that was recent the built inside the garden of the consuls residence after he lit the fire the security person who is working for the consulate made it made him a joke saying that if a person falls into the town during he gets he gets bird and a couple of days later when he went back there. He figured out that the marble surrounding the leader of the town who was the color has changed and some kind of bleach was used so the testimonies how not finished in the 2nd hearing for this trial is going to happen on november 24 but as the un reports are at this column art stated after the trial there should be more International Presence this. Yes was there some rights group groups were there but we need some more voices to be heard especially for a journalist who was killed by saudi agents thank you so much for that update their sin and cos theyre all the across developments from istanbul now lets go to mike hanna who is in washington d. C. Mike what are you is this case still on the radar on capitol hill. Well its one of the few bipartisan issues that still exist within Congress Congress had demanded information about the intelligence material from the director of National Intelligence finally off to months a document was sent to congress now this was an classified Document Company by a classified annex the unclassified documents said that the unclear the classified version true would not be made public because of National Security issues congress then demanded that it be allowed to make the contents of a classified document public that is still a process under way several members of congress have said that that classified document does include information from the intelligence agencies that muhammad solomon was directly implicated and President Trump signed the hes continued to insist that nothing has changed he continues to describe ahmed been solomon as a very good friend back in the 2018 he basically washed his hands of the whole matter issuing a statement saying that whether or not saudi arabia was involved the matter is over lets just move on with our very Good Relationship with saudi arabia but former National Security adviser john bolton and his book just released makes a startling accusation that President Trump that bolton alleges made that statement to detract attention from the fact that his daughter ivanka had been using white house servers for personal emails bolton use this as an example of President Trump distracting from the thing that may be embarrassing to himself or to his administration so years after the murder the conflict essentially between congress on the one hand the administration on the other is still going on thank you for that update there in washington d. C. Mike hanna. The u. S. Has had another record rise in growing a virus cases reporting more than 55000 new infections figures that knowledge just any country has ever reported since the outbreak began there are fears that number will go increase when people go out to attend july 4th celebrations this weekend lets go live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly help kimberly july 4th obviously a big holiday calls for celebration how hes asking people to approach it. Well very cautiously because as you point out the United States has been setting some records in recent days in terms of new cases and outbreaks of coronavirus each day this week there has been an escalating climb yesterday it was up again the largest single day total since cope with 19 hit the United States and these are records that the United States doesnt want to be setting 40 out of the 50 us states are seeing sharp spikes the u. S. President though is trying to going into this Holiday Weekend project that things are under control that is being well managed as a result he is going to be heading in the coming hours leaving the white house going to south dakota to Mount Rushmore where hes expected to be greeted by protests about these ongoing rallies that he has been holding because of the fears of coronavirus he will be attending a patriotic fireworks display but even the White House Team has had to deal with this kind of increase that weve been seeing in cope with 1000 cases in fact in in the case of the Vice President mike pence what weve been learning is that a members are remote of all members of his advanced secret service team heading to arizona one of those hot spot states have now tested positive for corona virus and as a result he has scaled back his plans for a campaign pain style rally on tuesday now just having a very subdued event on wednesday so a bit of a challenge for this white house as it continues to say americans need to go out and celebrate and things are out of control even having to change their own plans as a result of copenhagen members of their staff ok kimberly. Sort of covered there but listen a little bit about the reopening you know many places were meant to be reopening and now obviously thats having to be reversed. Yeah the ground we havent covered yet and youre right in terms of some of these flare up states what weve been seeing is that the concern going into this weekend is that these are going to become what they call the super spreader events in other words a lot of people who are asymptomatic go there feeling fine but they then in turn pass it off and theyre carrying the virus they pass it on to people and we see these flare ups happening about 14 days from now theyre really worried about that in local a callee localities all around the United States we see places like miami beach scaling back putting in curfews weve also seen Southern California closing some beaches and the same in southern florida were also seeing that there are some National Chains like apple decided to close a lot of their store so in the absence of action at the federal level in some cases what were seeing is the local counties and state officials taking action in fact in texas another state that theyre concerned about were seeing mandatory mask being forced on people or thats maybe not the best word but telling them they need to wear masks in public because theyre really concerned about these spikes so yeah theyre really trying to mitigate this but the concern is that people arent going to listen theyre going to go out and celebrate this weekend and theres going to be an even bigger problem in 2 weeks from now thank you for that update the.

R. Things have returned back to normal the government the Prime Minister say that the security. Forces have taken control of places where this violence was happening shocked an idea.

Coming up a little later in the news our. Find out why indias Prime Minister has been visiting a border region at the center of a tense dispute with china. And the u. S. Seizes a shipment of human Hair Products thought to have come from chinese minorities being held in detention camps. In sports well hear what one of basketballs best Young Players has to say about the n. B. A. Leads return to action. Indias Prime Minister has made an unannounced visit to the border region at the center of a dispute with china are under modi was accompanied by defense officials during the trip where he spoke with army members 20 indian soldiers were killed last month during fighting with chinese troops in the remote valley both sides traded blame but have since sat down for talks to deescalate the situation whatever. The world is made of their minds that against expansionism today the world is dedicated to development and is welcoming to open the competitiveness of development. We have increased expenditure on the development of border infrastructure but 3 times in the country through this Border Area Development in the construction of roads and bridges at the border areas has also been sped up. China has warned india not to take any action that may escalate tension in the region and said upholding peace will be a joint yes it going need to go in the india and china in communication in the goetia actions on lowering the temperatures through military and diplomatic channels so no party should engage in any action that may escalate the tension at this point. The shipment of more than 13 tons of human hair has been seized by u. S. Customs agents its believed the hair destined to be used for wigs and in silence was taken from a week of muslims and other detainees held in camps in china products came from china is the far west shin jam region and more than 1000000. 00 people are in socalled reeducation camps authorities suspect some of the products worth an estimated 800000 dollars were taken forcibly julie most up is Communications Director at campaign for wiggins she joins us now from san antonio in the u. S. State of texas thank you for your time what was your response when you 1st read this report about hair being taken from those detained in these labor camps well unfortunately this is just further confirmation of something that we have been trying to scream to the International Community for years now its a very graphic representation of the types of horrors that the chinese regime is currently carrying out when talking about types of horrors a recent report also said there was forced sterilization happening of we go women the u. S. Commission on International Religious freedom believing it might meet the legal criteria for genocide i mean is there anything that the International Community could do to effect change. There are a lot of things that we can do the United States has seen that we go human rights policy at is an important 1st step but there are so many more things that need to be done we need other countries to start enacting sanctions and let you mean its a global sanction and we need them to hold china accountable and to stop rewarding this type of behavior and most importantly we need businesses that may have these connections to forced labor in the region to pull their business out talking about those businesses another report last year found major brands like nikon amazon sourcing products from parts of china where slave labor may be part of the supply chain so i guess my question is what responsibility should big brands and also consumers bear here they have a huge responsibility i think that unfortunately a lot of people are not aware of these connections and hopefully that will continue to change as this information continues to come out but even most recently a few months ago amazon purchased 10000000. 00 u. S. Dollars in equipment which they claimed was to help with temperature monitoring in their warehouses in the United States but they purchased that equipment from a company thats already blacklisted by the u. S. Government as to the ones that supply the equipment to maintain this police state in the region so they you have an enormous responsibility and we hope that the more and more consumers as they become aware of these atrocities looking to need to hold these Companies Accountable if unfortunately they are not willing to take the proper steps of their own accord arguably when theres good relations with china it might make it more difficult for countries to take action against china but with the pandemic theres been really increased scrutiny of china i also with the new National Security law in hong kong theres been deteriorating relations with china with several western nations is that just the bowling china to continue on as is. Yes i think that a lot of the things that have happened in the last few months in terms of the pandemic and the global bullying type of deployed diplomatic tactics we see china taking is just serving to wake the International Community up to a reality that has existed within china for a long time now unfortunately they do seem to be coming in bold and that they dont feel the need to defend these atrocities they can justify them and not face consequences right now chinas being rewarded by hosting the olympics in 2022 and so we have really seen that the International Community failing to take action for years and years and years has just built up to this point where they feel comfortable committing these atrocities in broad daylight so to speak with absolutely no consequence thank you for your time julie mill something Communications Director at campaign for week is thank you Libyan Government forces have on earth bodies from another mass grave in a former stronghold of warlord holy 5 star 5 bodies have been found at the base a site of yet to be identified the search continues for more graves Government Forces say they found more than 200. 00 bodies in tough corner and in the area south of tripoli the u.

Your watching all jews there are a mind of our top stories this hour the trial of 20 saudi nationals accused of murdering the journalist. Has wrapped up today in turkey suspects to be tried in absentia and that 3rd senior saudi officials she was dismembered at the saudi consulate in istanbul 2 years ago. The u. S. Has had another record rise in court virus cases reporting more than 55000 new infections that figure is the largest any country has ever reported since the outbreak began. If your views Prime Minister has described days of violence as an attempt to start civil unrest he held an emergency meeting blamed exiles of Foreign Forces trying to destabilize the country following the death of singer dissent. Or now on our top story the trial of suspects accused of murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi joining us now from istanbul as i guess column of the u. N. Special repertory on extrajudicial executions thank you so much for joining us. Given these people are being tried in absentia given that saudi arabia has refused their extradition given turkeys record around Judicial Independence do you really think this trial will bring justice. Look the purpose of the trial of this nature is not to bring justice in a formal sense of the word. The absence of the defendant his or Kissing Point it does a very important symbolic value and we cannot underestimate the importance of. Of that process of the judicial process over judicial recall commission. And so far the stories around the state exaction of general question has been handled largely by the media you guys have done a fantastic work by the un and people like me and the press freedom and human rights organizations just the sector has been largely absent we cannot see what happened in saudi arabia as amounting to the daily variety of justice so from that standpoint these is a 1st took a genre where the International Language of justice in a formal sense of the world the International Language of low ease of being applied to the state killing of german should be and therefore it is very important its also important for the victims they are being given a far more space to speak thats the 1st time its happened in court and thirdly i think the trial you will surprise us it will give us some information that we may know time even though a lot has already been reported already today there were information because given by various witnesses which i personally did not nor so i think for all those reasons these trying doest matter i guess that is quite important if theres information coming out that you didnt know given that you conducted a report which came out on file the report which came out about the killing last year so what did you make of the evidence that you heard today. I will describe that as evidence because east hors a day where witnesses where speaking so though the the presentation of the physical evidence i think weve come a little bit when did we here today are people i have not been able to interview who are the employees of the concert and of the residents. Many of them actually were quite reluctant to speak out we do not describe them as hostile per se but they were certainly not forthcoming somehow either way or more forthcoming in particular one of the employee of the residents who was asked to come out of easy leave to us east we saw a lightning of the furnace in the residence that firmness that has been associated was simply weezer burning of. His body or part of his body and he commented that on that particular day he was asked to lighten. The although he was surrounded by 4 or 5 guest they were very nervous and not very friendly they eventually kicked him out asked him to leave when you return a few days later in noted that the ringback marble are still around the phone is been so really clean in fact it had been. That you know is it meaningful its not meaningful i dont know but thats certainly a piece of information i was not aware of and i dont think its a common practice to reach a marble store and around the furnace and especially we should remember that of aftershocks whose remains were never found your report 2nd last year found credible evidence that mohamed bin solomon of saudi arabia himself warranting further investigation that linked him to murder do you expect this trial to bolster that find it. So i think that particular china will not because if you read the indictment the 20 person does not mention him but it goes all the way to so a delicate tiny but stop there my understanding is that there will be a 2nd indictment and that indictment will focus on 2 issues that really focus on those that where are the highest level completion and the crime and the tweet of focus on doors that template weezer crime scene and the be done so i think that 2nd indictment may actually name mohammed bin so many i dont know but on the time nor whether seen tension always a 2nd indictment it will be possible but mohammed been summoned will be named in that in that document and therefore in a 2nd trial ok today is name was mentioned by one of the weakness directly mentioned and it was he wanted to buy those are we. Ok some much more we could talk about unfortunately for time we have to leave it there thank you for that. The u. N. Special thank you very much on extrajudicial executions thank you yemens who the forces say theyve sent explosive drones toward an airport and an air base in saudi arabia a spokesman for the group made the announcement on twitter and said the areas were hit with High Accuracy who these are fighting against the saudi u. A. E. Led military coalition in yemen saudi arabia said it intercepted the drone attack. French president Amanda Marcotte has named a new Prime Minister as part of a Cabinet Reshuffle aimed at reviving the countrys post quarantine economy john caustics a senior Civil Servant and local meir has been chosen to replace said for the who sit down earlier on friday. Orchestrated the coronavirus reopening strategy for the country lets go live now to our correspondent Natasha Butler in paris what else can you tell us about this new name youngest xx. Or i can tell you that his appointment was quite a surprise here to many people in france the Cabinet Reshuffle was expected present on been talking about how he wanted to do you his government so we had expected that to happen but the appointment of jacques stakes replacing it well felipe as Prime Minister was a surprise to many people because very few people have ever heard of him he is a conservative mer of a small southwestern town hes 55 years old he has however had a career in politics of course he worked in the past for the former a right wing president Nicolas Sarkozy and then recently he was put in charge of planning the strategy for the easing of lockdown restrictions here in france years according to several politicians whove been talking about him today a very safe pair of hands a trust is a pair of hands a very efficient but why about all that crowd has appointed him yet we have yet to find out but what we do know is that hes pretty easy expect to be a pretty key Prime Minister in fact could really be in a way the key to what michael pointed in because at what felipe the outgoing Prime Minister has become very popular very respected amongst the french people in recent months particularly for steering france through the current virus pandemic and some were saying that perhaps felipe was becoming a little bit too popular and to much of a threat to mono micron he perhaps favored a Prime Minister that would be a little bit more in the shadows if you like think that asked about live there live from paris. Philippine president ricotta toasty has signed contentious Counterterrorism Measures into noel to say says the legislation is needed to fight modern day terrorism under the law police can bypass the court system and arrest suspects without a warrant they could be held without charge from to 24. 00 days critics fair use it against his opponents to be the underdog and has more now from the philippines capital management. From the time it was passed by congress when it was certified as urgent a few weeks ago there has been major public outrage here because they basically the fear by many not even the critics of the administration but ordinary citizens is that it may be used against members of the opposition those who criticize the government and they see basically the priority but the bill at the law was for your ties as urgent by congress was also misplaced the priority and ill timed this was able to pass ahead of the much needed Economic Reforms that Congress Need to pass at a time of a Global Pandemic one of the major issues as mentioned really is 2 is is is this and to and it terror law will allow state forces law enforcers to detain ordinary civilians without warrants for up to 24. 00 days and Rights Groups say basically this is in direct contrast to what the constitution actually says it infringes on basic Civil Liberties and they have already vowed that theyre going to go to the Supreme Court to try to stop this from being implemented but the supporters of the of this bill of course the huge backing coming from the military says this is been much needed for many many years because they say the Human Security act from 10 of 2007 has proven to be any effective they see the need and a terror law to go against terrorists as they described in the in the southern philippines and of course to and what they describe as one of the longest communist insurgencies in the world against the new peoples army but it remains to be see how it will be used the u. N. Human Rights Office says its warry vague and broad provisions in chinas new Hong Kong Security law lead people to being punished just for expressing opposition hundreds of be detained at least 10 charge since the law took effect this week germany to speaking out chancellor Angela Merkel plans to raise the issue during her countrys e. U. Presidency the u. K. Is offering millions of home. Calling a potential path to british citizenship while australia canada and others have hinted at some form of asylum and the us congress has approved sanctions targeting chinese officials Hong Kong Police and even banks these will need to be signed off by President Donald Trump chinas government says it will retaliate to pressure and threats from western governments heres what it said about the us sanctions this move has grossly interfered in chinas internal affairs and seriously violated International Law as well as the basic norms governing International Relations with the u. S. Side is bent on going down the wrong path china will resolutely respond with all necessary count images from Hong Kong Sarah cogged tells us more about chinas response. This is from the Foreign Affairs committee has been swift to respond to these sanctions are moved by the United States to interfere in chinas internal affairs thats a move by the United States to contain or restrain chinas progress and Development Announces National Security is a basic prerequisite a precondition for existence and the development of a nation and these laws have widespread support not just in china and hong kong this is obviously a statement from the Chinese Government and strongly urged washington to pretty much back off and stay out of hong kong and china is a phase that said if the states continues to go down what its described as being wrong path then obviously china says it will take the necessary response so certainly some threats coming from china and a Swift Response and condemnation of the of chinas introduction of the by 60 or the National Security laws in hong kong. The former partner of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is facing up to 35 years in prison for her alleged role in abusing young girls british socialite maxwell is accused of working with epstein to recruit girls to be abused in the league circles your prosecutors say she played a Critical Role and also participated in the abuse Jeffrey Epstein is believed to have committed suicide while awaiting trial last August Gabriel and those on those winds us now live from new york what will be next for maxwell. Well shes currently sitting in a jail in the state of New Hampshire about an hour north of the city of boston thats in New Hampshire where she was arrested by the f. B. I. She is awaiting transfer to a jail here in new york city we dont know exactly when that will happen but certainly prosecutors are going to try to prevent her from getting any sort of bail because prosecutors say she has 3 passports she has millions of dollars and as many as 15 Different Bank accounts throughout the world prosecutors say so shes a flight risk so they are going to be arguing with the judge as soon as shes transfer. To new york in the coming days trying to deny her any bail because they say shell be a flight risk and beyond that assuming she stays in jail the next process will be moving forward with the Legal Process that most likely will include a trial ok gabriel have we heard it all from any of the victims have any of them spoken out. For the most part the answer to that is no but victims have spoken out previously and they have said previously that they will not be happy until or feel. Content at least until maxwell also faces justice we did hear from Gloria Allred a prominent lawyer based in los angeles who represents 16 of Jeffrey Epsteins alleged victims and in a statement said that she is pleased that maxwell was arrested and will await the Legal Process to move forward but but most of the victims have said that they will not feel content until maxwell does face justice and it appears at least the 1st step of that is now potentially happening its important to point out that maxwell so far has not put in a plea yet on any of the 6 federal charges that she has against her now thank you for that update Gabriel Elizondo there in new york. England will allow travelers from 50 countries including many in europe to arrive without going into quarantine the measure will stay in place for the u. S. You have the u. K.

I think its a lot of truth i think its not the 1st time the message threatens to sue for not review with barcelona and i think now its very serious because hes he is beginning to get to the end of his career in that hes not happy with happened what is happening with the club he was really unhappy with with when the marley have to end and he was really frustrated last summer when barcelona was unable to bring neymar back so he feels that hes being. Like all the pressure of the club in on top of his head he doesnt like the Current Situation with. The current president and the way that hes you know changing cultures all the time so i think its pretty much the death sentence for him and then the club either that situation change or hes going to leave if i dont know realistically where could messi go if he left last i know you would wish for him to dine at that tickle but i did say realistic.
