Hello welcome to the program saudi arabia has overturned the death sentences of 5 people convicted of the murder of journalist in turkey theyve been given 20 years in prison instead 3 others were given scent concerns sentences ranging from 7 to 10 years russias fiance called the sentencing a farce while the u. N. Expert who investigated the killing branded it a parody of justice alexey obrien reports. The saudi hit squad accused of killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi was caught on camera landing in turkey and entering the kingdoms consulate in istanbul thats where a prominent and well connected critic of Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin selman was interrogated killed and dismembered but while 21. 00 men were detained by saudi arabia over his murder and 11 went on trial much of what happened in the courtroom remains a mystery the trial was done in secret and close trial that there was no International Observers in the hands of the victims or the accused were not published. And theres no more. Appeal possible so the nature of the evidence only in every technical part of the trial almost has been questioned by. Internationally accepted judicial standards last year 5 of them were given the Death Penalty for the killing but thats been cut to 20 years in prison 3 others have been given sentences of 7 to 10 years and will say is calling a fast i think. The whole verdict seems to me to have been manipulated and i way they used of course they get behind a fig leaf according to practice Legal Practice in saudi arabia and the family has the right to commute any sentence that family has issued as such they flourish and most probably under duress i dont think it was done really knowing the family. Knowing a man so i was surprised by their 2 official gee sounds made the saudi king and crown prince in the weeks after they found his killing the cia and other intelligence agencies have said theres a direct link between the crown prince and the murda the case caused worldwide outrage and tarnished mohammed bin sahlins reputation but several of those in the hit squad coming from. In his inner circle though he denies involvement the u. N. Experts who investigated murder said in a series of tweets the saudi prosecutor performed one more act today in this parody of justice but these verdicts carry no legal or moral legitimacy she went on to say that crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon remained well protected against any meaningful scrutiny in his country and that the verdicts cant be allowed to whitewash what happened the saudi Prosecutor Says this causes the case both privately and publicly many though say justice for he has not been served brian al jazeera.

The delhi metro had been transporting millions of people every day until its closure and by march on its 1st day of reopening the few people on board were relieved the service had resumed. Because they were late bus services we are not sure when next one.

Welcome back heres a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera saudi arabia has reduced the sentences of 8 people involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in turkey last year 5 of them were sentenced to death for the killing but thats. 20 years in jail ability to see an Opposition Leader is missing after being snatched off the streets by mass the men in the center of minsk. Was one of 3 women who joined forces to challenge Alexander Lukashenko in last months disputed elections and the german hospital treating kremlin critic alexina balogna says his condition has improved allowing doctors to take him out of his induced coma german experts say tests show that he was poisoned the by the nerve agent of the chalk. Spain has become the 1st western european country to pass half a 1000000 coronavirus cases spain saw a daily. Increase of more than 2400. 00 cases this fight stringent measures on face masks and social distancing being enforced in recent weeks during its 1st wave spain enforced one of the continents strictest lock downs but now the country is taking a regional approach to its coronavirus measures with much of the recent surge surrounding the highly populated cities of madrid and barcelona. Americans have been out celebrating Labor Day Weekend despite the us being the country worst hit by covert 19 in california were cases a fall and over the past 2 weeks many flocked to the beach to escape a record breaking heat wave the state still has double the number of cases it had going into the memorial day long weekend back in may that National Holiday was followed by a surge in coronavirus cases widely blamed on social gatherings over that weekend labor day is also the traditional kickoff for the u. S. President ial campaign and it sees president hollande trying trailing his democratic rival joe biden in the polls the trunk campaign has been centered on law and order and how to recover from the economic damage done by the coronavirus while biden is focusing the election on trumps handling of the pandemic and rising unemployment the president s worries are predicted to continue with the release of a book by his former lawyer Michael Cohen on tuesday. Its got our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett so kimberly i mean weve been talking about the election but i guess campaigning officially kicks off now instead of hitting the campaign trail President Trump has been speaking at the white house praising him self on the economy and his handling of the coronavirus tell us a little bit more about what he said. Now thats right both president ial candidates campaigning today and in the case of donald trump from the white house in and of itself controversy over u. S. President here we have self higher marks when it comes to job creation following the lots of jobs from covert 19 and the economic shutdowns touting the 1400000 added last month noting that there have been more than 10000000 since may but critics will say theres still a long recovery but the president saying that this is a v. Shaped recovery something many critics will dispute that those jobs that are lost are now coming back the u. S. President also said that when it comes to the pandemic that the fatality rate has dropped to mad dramatically by the double digits so while you also touted his success he warned that if joe biden the democratic president ial nominee is elected that things will get much worse not only on the economic front but trump also scaring voters promising there will be more deaths under by then as well. By plan for the jonah viruses to shut down the entire u. S. Economy is going to total somebody to walk up your search started to shut it down youd be laying off tens of millions of workers and causing countless deaths from suicide Substance Abuse depression or disease another very serious illnesses because when you do a shutdown theres a problem on the other side its not just from the virus you have a big problem with suicide with losing your jobs with all sorts of things. And i can believe the president not usually shy about criticizing journalists and now its the turn of the atlantic magazine which basically carried allegations of the president called u. S. War the war dead losers and sucker is obviously a terrible things to to say he did what was his response. Well the u. S. President has continued to deny that hes made those claims that he in any way disparage u. S. Service members particularly when he was in france and called off a visit to a cemetery now he has had the deputy chief of staff come to his defense in recent days saying that in fact he was present with the president when that bad weather call was made not to visit the cemetery and at that time he never heard the president say why would i want to go where you know recognized the graves of losers and he never heard him say soccers either and this is the deputy chief of staff whats notable in all of this is that the chief of staff general john kelly at the time has been quite silent the silence is deafening in fact from his chief of staff given the fact that not only is he a general with a long military career but that his own son was killed in the line of duty so this is certainly something that the president can use to receive criticism on he continues to deny the president pointed out that 15 people have now come to his defense but again the president s own words still haunting him back in 2015 he had to tweet calling senator john mccain also a war hero in this country a loser donald trump once again as he spoke here from the white house in the last couple of hours defending that saying that he and john mccain never got along but still well they differed on policy he respected him as an individual and just because he made that tweet in reference to a political rival does not mean he disparaged war dead and so we can believe that comment about the war dead in the atlantic magazine but were expecting the release of a book on tuesday tomorrow in the United States by his former lawyer Michael Cohen anything potentially explosive there that could be damaging for the president. Well theres no question that the president this is one of the president s most loyal and trusted aides and the fact that he is speaking so publicly against the president is a big problem now the president continues to disparage Michael Cohen pointing out that he has faced his own troubles with the law and has been convicted but at the same time if you throw enough mud some of it sticks and that certainly seems to be the case here that much of what Michael Cohen is going to claim or has claimed given his intimate knowledge and his long relationship as the president s personal attorney and also as his socalled fixer if you will certainly does lead some credibility to the claims that he is making that donald trump in his view is not fit to be president cannot be trusted and is a known liar Kimberly Halkett with the latest from the white house kimberly thank you nearly 300. 00 range of refugees have landed on a beach in indonesia after several months at sea they say that they set sail from southern bangladesh at the end of february after fleeing a military crackdown in myanmar but they were turned away by both malaysian and taiyo saurus hes because of coronavirus restrictions that wooden boat landed on those young blonde beach in indonesia is a province 297 people were on board including 14 children Officials Say 30 people have died to during the journey jessica washington reports from jakarta.
