champion stan asteroids. the probe into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi is picking up pace after days of stalling and a seeming lack of progress monday has seen a number of new developments in the case of the missing the journalists turkish investigators have finally been given access to the sa the consulate in istanbul. some dressed in forensic suits the kingdom of agreed to this break with diplomatic norms after days of increasing international pressure about an hour early a saudi delegation entered the compound it's been thirteen days since bush was last seen there getting paperwork for his marriage u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is on his way to v.o.r. to discuss the case with the saudi king and he's also expected to travel to turkey well shortly will cost a committee help in washington d.c. for more reaction from the trumpet ministration but first let's go to our correspondent and. is joining us live from there so jamal what has been going on has been a very busy few hours outside the consulate. indeed well as you mentioned there the past couple of hours saw the arrival of turkish investigators finally after they had been requesting entry into the consulate building now for over ten days it has been thirteen days we're going to the fourteenth on tuesday since time out of control she was disappeared they actually came on to. the first arrived around seven thirty pm or rather some fifteen pm local time we saw a convoy of vehicles that was headed first by one of the police trucks which is used for serious crimes here in turkey usually murder scenes and other serious crimes and they were behind it had several other vehicles amongst them was the deputy prosecutor general of istanbul as well as a deputy state prosecutor here in turkey with several police investigators as well around them now were off to that's a second arrived this time and had three vans and several other police vehicles with its a lot of equipment was being unloaded from the vans you had these police investigators or forensic experts and overrules white overalls as well as obviously the police there we wind a little bit elizabeth so before the turkish investigators came by about two hours the saudi team arrived there were about a dozen of them interestingly these are meant to be part of the joint task force but there's nothing joined in the timing that the that they chose to write they came several hours before the charges did which raised a few eyebrows or questions amongst people watching what was more surprising is if we rewind a few hours before that bizarrely you had a cleaning company arrive with dozens of. boxes in them what appeared to be bleach bottles as well as other cleaning equipment arriving at the consulate that was literally minutes ofter the saudis have finally given permission for the turkish forensic. experts and investigators so when so now obviously many people could be and it could very well be the case that this was just a routine cleaning of the consulates not that they were coming to clean any evidence but the fact remains that this is an active crime scene so any sort of tampering in it would be frowned upon if this was a let's say a serious car crash that allowed that that resulted in people dying or anything else that had some sort of suspicion you wouldn't be allowed to cross the police barriers that would usually be set up within minutes or if not maybe a few hours of a crime happening not thirteen days after it's an old of that it's making people wonder what exactly can the turks establish from entering a building so that scene days after somebody went missing that's the saudis who are the key suspects in it have had filtered access to its throughout that period and has now since seen serious cleaning taking place since they have been a lot of things that have happened over the last thirteen days jamal that have raised a lot of eyebrows including before this investigating team was allowed into the sabi consulate we've had the saudi officials in turkey diplomats in talking to the government rather than you know this team that's in istanbul. indeed i mean look we need to try and maybe. split the tracks here right so there is a crime that's taken place there is meant to be a criminal investigation and it's as far as we understand from the criminal investigation the information we have is either from unnamed sources who speak on condition of anonymity who say that they are confident one hundred percent these are circumstances but she was murdered inside the consulate and that they have evidence so that effect we've seen now the investigators who are that's the crime track of it then there is the diplomatic or political track and that's what we have seen a lot of politicking taking place so initially the turks were keeping their cards close to their chest they said that they would favor quiet diplomacy they didn't want a huge fallout with saudi arabia which is a key ally as far as they're concerned despite maybe the cold nature between the two in terms of their relationship as a result of the blockade on qatar in the g.c.c. crisis we've seen that diplomatic track then grow with the u.s. coming out saying that their intelligence community has been made privy of the evidence and that the u.s. would take extreme action against saudi arabia if indeed it is proven it murdered. the invoking of the magnitsky act a human rights act by the congressman on all of that and then we saw the sleet it grow even further with the europeans coming out on sunday with the tripartite kind of statement from france the united kingdom and germany so all of that has been maybe taking a front seats with the criminal investigation taking a backseat especially as you mention the turkish the legation that arrived arrived in ankara the political capital headed by prince kind of the faisal who is the governor of mecca as well as the chief advisor to king solomon it wasn't headed by an intelligence official the head of the saudi intelligence we only understood on monday had arrived should sarky and therefore it does seem that unfortunately this won't be dealt with or at least unfortunately as far as those who are so seeking the truth into what's happened to this. this is not being dealt with simply as a criminal matter there is a lot at stake a lot more in terms of international diplomacy in terms of economy we saw the impact it's had on the saudi markets all of that is going to influence the official outcome of what is going to be said but let's not forget that ultimately this is a human story about a journalist who went to this building with his fiance waiting outside so that you could bring the paperwork needed for him to marry her and that journalist that fiance you it never came out or nobody has seen him since jamal thank you very much for that is just keeping across all the developments outside the consulate in istanbul. now earlier president suggested that quote road kill is may have been responsible for the alleged murder of jamal khashoggi alan fischer reports from washington d.c. . leaving for florida president trump reveals the school contain the saudi king in a twenty minute call to go to saudi denial that anything to do with the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. both thinking of saudi arabia. the knowledge of what took place with regard few hundred eyes she shared for forty raids citizen thieves that he firmly theme i have for sure you say. if you want me to get on a plane go to saudi arabia to feast with such a denial the president floated a theory of what may have happened the saudi consulate another to push by some so the media which sounded to me like maybe you should have been a row hillary would know you were going to try getting to the bottom of a very it is not acceptable as of a number of politicians on both sides have criticized the president's position former democratic vice presidential candidate tim kaine tweeted president trump's response to jamal khashoggi his disappearance reveals a man more willing to trust authoritarian leaders than reliable intelligence when middle east analyst says the president is performing a difficult balancing act blaming it on another element such as some sort of quote unquote rogue element would enable the saudi leadership to avoid being held accountable if the public is going to buy this or not is another question when it comes to the future the seems to be more questions than answers the saudis are still pressing ahead with a large investment conference in the kingdom next month even though a growing number of high profile figures are boycotting the event after richard branson and the head of super announced they were out last week now the head of j.p. morgan chase bank top international finance figure jamie dimon and the chairman of the ford motor company bill ford say they won't be growing. u.s. secretary of state mike promptly who is known as we to saudi arabia what he asks and what he's told we will dictate what america does next al-jazeera washington. let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly hellcat now she is joining us live from d.c. and i want to ask you can really why is the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o traveling to saudi arabia over the disappearance of a journalist when president travels says that he believes the king's denial of knowledge or involvement. well presumably it is to get the whole story and so that is something that the president has made him for a few days now that he's interested in doing that he wanted to get information he wanted to get the facts i think it's notable though that what we're hearing from the president is that he has had a conversation with king solomon but not the crown prince who we know has been calling all of the shots now the question will be whether or not pay zero also has some of that expanded meeting the president said only he was meeting with the king so certainly we'll be watching that very closely we can also confirm the white house saying in fact that mike pompei o. the u.s. secretary of state will also be traveling to turkey after he visits riyadh so officially this is about trying to get more information but i think it is notable those comments that we heard in al of fisher's report there about the president sort of adding the possibility that many on capitol hill think is nothing short of absurd that rogue killers are responsible for the disappearance of the missing journalist is certainly something that is of no given the fact that the president is essentially parsing language and that is not going to play very well with a lot of americans is not going to play very well with members on capitol hill who really see this as a turning point in u.s. saudi relations and we have seen that already with the u.s. senators using the magnitsky act to court for an investigation and possibly even sanctions against if there's been a gross violation of human drives but you're talking about the american people now committee and their reaction to this how would you know how do they factor in especially with those midterm elections coming up with what trump does here. right it seems that the president in his mind believes that he has to preserve this relationship between the united states and saudi arabia that's been in place since diplomatic relations were put in place in nine hundred thirty three he seems to think that because there are significant arms deals weapons sales that are ongoing for the next ten years and this is a major driver of jobs and he's promised that to the american people as well he's also considering the price at the gas pump he doesn't want to see the price of oil rise of saudi arabia perhaps retaliate in any way to sanctions that are put in place tough sanctions the highest level as one senator put it so the president's got this is his mind because we've got these elections coming up to determine control of congress in just three weeks time but what the white house maybe miscalculated is the fact that americans don't want to look like their own government their own president their own white house is beholden to a foreign entity in this case saudi arabia so well the president seems to be thinking about these congressional elections trying to please the american public his strategy is not playing well here with ordinary americans with each passing hour and again we go back to those some of those very strong statements that were made from senior senators on capitol hill in recent days for example even lindsey graham saying that there could be an economic price to pay but also there could be a shift in the relationship it seems that the senators with this magnitsky act now have the clock ticking for this white house one hundred twenty days and counting they have to come back with a report potentially put in place tough sanctions if the white house doesn't do that the u.s. senate could act unilaterally committee thank you very much for that as committee how can the nations from washington d.c. collar the former deputy national intelligence officer for transactional threats a transnational threats at the cia and he says even if any evidence was destroyed of the pos thirteen days they are ways that forensic scientists can find out what happened. my colleagues in the f.b.i. and imagine the turkish equivalents are experts in this and can induce stunning investigations you first have to find the body is someplace or it was someplace if not in the embassy then it was taken away somehow so a full investigation would look at all of the cars that left the consulate from the time that shogi entered up until even not and presumably it's the personnel on the consulate and you want to look at their homes and their cars often one can find d.n.a. evidence of you credibly minute amounts but telling in vehicles well after an event occurred so i would look at that i would look actually that presumably the saudis have cleaned everything with. chlorine or who knows what but i would i would look at the the drainpipes and i look at all of the belongings of the members of the staff who have come in and come out let's get more on this now with a senior political analyst. joining us live from london my one i as hopeful that there could be a credible investigation into the middle of a man and a journalist now that took investigators have finally been allowed into the consulate. yes there could be a credible investigation the question is what do you do with your conclusions and if there's any culpability towards any one of high ranking. in a state like saudi arabia what do you do then do you issue a warrant arrests do you boycott a kingdom like saudi arabia or one of the richest twenty countries in the world i think these are their own questions but it seems to me it is all in all it's as if for the last couple of weeks we've been really living a mystery of sorts it's like a life imitating fiction it's like a thriller with certain horror scenes in it and international thriller it's like a novel that we are reading together we are going through its chapter by chapter and i would say that the last chapter has not been written yet it's even the last several chapters are yet to be written and i would tell you that he in the media here. in europe in the middle east and in the united states are not only covering the story we are helping write its last few chapters because by shedding light on it by demanding answers from politicians by pressuring the public. the decision makers. we are forcing them into a corner and that's why we have the second decision of the united states going to saudi arabia that's why we have the likes of jamie dimon as we've heard just heard the head of j.p. morgan one of the most important banks in the world boycotting a conference in riyadh it's because the media continues to shut the light to demand an investigation to demand the truth and to question those in power so as we cover the story we are also hoping its last few chapters what will these chapters be it remains to be seen in the sense whether the politicians will go the cynical way to make a deal against on the back of a victim like jamal or the back of victimizing the truth or whether they actually come out with the whole truth and then make their deals afterward and what do you think that turkey will do we are asking the questions and they you know there is some information coming out while the story remains in the headlines at one to always so how is turkey going to deal with the situation the measures that it could take that you mentioned want to be willing to take them. ok so here the important part about what turkey or the or the united states would do. would need to be looked at in the context that this is no longer a normal crime scene this is not this is not just a crime this is an international crime scene and those are involved now are not individuals even though a person do on a person trump and and king solomon on individuals but what we have here are states and states and sovereignties and for the turks to go into the turkish consulate in istanbul that's one sovereignty taking the permission to go to another people sovereignty within their own consulate so here we are entering a whole new mystery of sort decipher thing it does not simply you know require a colombo of sort where that with his raincoat this is now states acting according to their interests so what that will what will the turks do what the turks will do what is in the best interest of turkey and if the truth or coming out with the truth is in the best interest of the good they would do that judging from the last couple of days with king solomon of saudi arabia calling president to on and then putting out a press release about appreciating the turkish president's appreciation of saudi appreciation of turkey then now we're talking about a possible opening over up wish mom between riyadh and uncle that we haven't seen before certainly not since two thousand and fifteen when the crown prince took over as a as a defense minister and even since last march when the crown prince of saudi arabia called turkey part of a triangle of evil that includes iran and the muslim brotherhood so here we have a new opening between turkey and saudi arabia and perhaps the turks would look not just for the truth but would also look beyond that to see what will saudi arabia do what is it ready to do in order to destabilize the region about yemen about cuts. about the buyout that wrote that. i think washington will probably be doing something similar before we have to deal with arms as an investment but they will also be looking for their interest aside from the truth the stakes certainly high thank you as always for your analysis that is our senior political analyst madeleine bashara live in london we have plenty more ahead on the news all including a school was out in yemen how millions of kids are missing class because of the war . flooding in southern france is more than three months of rain falls in just one night stands or one of the greatest players accused of obstructing an anti corruption investigation will be here with more on. the largest group in syria's rebel held provinces yet to withdraw its fighters from a buffer zone despite a deadline set by turkey and russia i asked the. h.t.s. hasn't said whether it accepts or rejects the terms of the salty agreement the deal set off a demilitarize area around the northwestern region surrounding province was meant to be cleared of heavy weapons by the tenth and of rebel fighters now saying the hold the rebel reports from neighboring lebanon. a de villota rhizome is being created around syria as it lives province a twenty kilometer deep strip of territory is now free of heavy weapons by october fifteenth it should have also been free of fighters considered terrorists by the international community the so-called radical groups didn't pull back but hours before the deadline. the largest military alliance that controls much of the buffer area and the rest of the province signaled that it will comply in its statement. said it appreciated efforts by those inside and outside which is believed to be a reference to turkey to prevent an invasion and wide scale killing it also made reference to the foreign fighters saying we won't forget to the group maybe trying to keep unity and prevent betrayal among its ranks that is why an explicit acceptance of the deal would worsen divisions or rejection would risk a military confrontation with turkey which has said it is ready to use force against those who do not comply. quietly met the deadline to withdraw heavy weapons from his own last week it's not the first time the group has shown pragmatism the buffer zone deal does not call for a surrender or reconciliation with the syrian government it created a new front line that protects regime strongholds and russian military assets but many syrians of the rebel controlled province remain skeptical. of the one million hole in that i don't know what are they move the heavy weapons back sometime kilometers or so but i don't support this it just makes it easier for the regime and russia to advance into a loop you cannot trust the regime and russia. yes this is all a game the aim is to cause division among rebel ranks that will lead to infighting that way it becomes easier for the regime to take the area everyone is lying to us . the syrian government has repeatedly said it liberal eventually return to state control but russia and turkey have so far been the decision makers the deals sponsors need each other in the post war phase but i think it serves the interests of both parties so this is why i believe that this agreement will hold for for the time being and the turks will be giving more time in order to try and do. the whole complexity of this situation inside it live for the next few weeks and months a few days ago russia said that it could accept a brief delay if it meant the spirit of the agreement was still apparelled the deadline was missed but syria's main power brokers seem committed to keeping the deal alive. beirut. buttons promised us as a day for the ok so when the draw from the e.u. is still within range tourism a while speaking to parliament after breaks at negotiations again broke down without agreement despite her optimism bush civil servants have begun preparing for the country to crash out of the block without a deal reports are you confident of a deal by by wednesday prime minister are you expecting a cabinet meeting or a very british prime minister to resign may find herself fighting for a break deal on multiple fronts this was her message to parliament on monday so much of these negotiations are necessarily technical but the reason this all matters is because it affects the future of our country it affects jobs and livelihoods in every community it is about what kind of country we are and our face in our democracy of course it is frustrating that almost all of the remaining points of disagreement are focused on how we manage a signal. aria which both sides hope should never come to pass and which if it does will only be temporary we cannot let this disagreement derail the prospects of a good deal and leave us with the no deal outcome that no one wants on sunday talks with the e.u. had seemed close to agreement on the terms of britain's exit but largely over attempts to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland they collapsed mrs may's plan to keep the whole u.k. inside the e.u. customs union for the duration of talks on a future trade deal met opposition from progresses ministers and factions in her own party

always going to be a difficult week for to resume a in the british government but it's become much harder hard to see how she could achieve any sort of unity within her own cabinet with senior ministers said to be considering their positions over the latest hard to see how she can achieve much at all with e.u. leaders in brussels on wednesday night and hard to see frankly how any meaningful

fact we look at the satellite picture we can see this area of cloud here is it worked its way through parts of iraq and eventually into parts of iran and that gave us some very wet weather in fact for some of us we've reported over sixty millimeters of rain it around just from this cloud alone now further north there's also this but of wet weather but this isn't only giving us some rain is also giving us some wintery weather as well this picture from marty showing the snow that we've seen there there's more still to come to you so if you choose day do expect more in the way of wintery weather searching from our multi all the way southward into parts of afghanistan and some of that snow is likely to be rather heavy as we head into wednesday it should clear away but because it's staying quite cool now marty any snow on the ground should stick around for a while i mean for the towards the south and here in doha it's quite pleasant really thirty five degrees is our maximum but to the south of us there's more in the way of cloud and rain there's been some flash flooding in the eastern parts of yemen thanks to the cycle and the hits and it's now disintegrating as it works its way north woods still a few outbreaks of rain there perhaps in the southern parts of saudi as we head through the day on wednesday for the southern parts of africa plenty of dry weather here as you would expect but we have been watching a little bit of cloud just drift its way eastwards that clears away more for tuesday twenty and. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to

what's being described as a joint inspection with the officials over the disappearance of saw the journalist . it was last seen entering the consulate nearly two weeks ago meanwhile u.s. secretary of state is on his way to saudi arabia to discuss the case president ordered him to travel to riyadh. and other news the largest syria's rebel held provinces yet to withdraw its fighters from the. deadline set by turkey and russia. has not said previously whether it accepts the terms of an agreement signed last month. now a book of renowned scientists stephen hawking's last essays and articles has some controversy with its warnings of superhumans and genetic engineering hawkins children have compiled and published the book seven months after the physicists death it presents the possibility that gene editing could lead to a race of what he called designing beings who code wipe out humans well let's get more on this now we're joined by a senior research fellow at the university of oxford future of humanity institute and he's joining us live from oxford very good to have you with us on al jazeera so a lot of headlines today about professor hawking's warnings you know so-called warnings from the grave but how imminent would you say the threats uncontrollable official intelligence or gene editing you know leading to superhuman. they're not there imminent although we know we can't predict the progress of artificial intelligence but. however given the very hard problems we need to start working on them now the human generation time is fairly long and parents are fairly conservative so i think the thing is going to be a lesser issue bone the care of the occasional machine learning so when you say machine learning what do you mean by that once upon a time we always program by writing commands to the computers we are learning how to data tables for machines what to do and ideally they should be able to figure out what we want them to do from the data the problem is of course this creates a great deal of i'll call them yeah and quite often but leads to trouble and this is what stephen hawking talked about before his death then we'll talk about talks about in this book the fact that we don't know what artificial intelligence can do yet and it couldn't do good but it can do harm to its very much like fire it can warn you of the camper and you and the more powerful the fire is the more you need to be careful about that and i think got official intelligence is probably one of the biggest fires you can imagine ok so that is artificial intelligence but i do want to talk a little bit more about gene editing because just in the last week japan issued a draft guidelines on the use of gene editing tools in human embryos how will this be used and and how do you legislate the science and is the science moving faster than the regulations legislating it even though you don't think this is something then is super imminent right now we can mostly use you know getting in order to prevent various diseases especially diseases that have one party claim you tension behind them it's going to be trickier to use you know the thing to improve health along everybody in general but it's a very likely outcome in the long run. and i think generally we in the philosophy departments have been talking about this for a long time but when the technology arrives people start thinking about it in different ways. and despite all of this necessarily but i know that you're very optimistic about the future tell as well. overall in the very history of humanity has actually been quite possible despite all the wars of the sources we have become more knowledgeable we have all leverage become richer more peaceful and i think most people are decent that is a good reason because all our bridge are going to make us much better off there are tools to give us a hope of future this is it is good to get your thoughts on the understand they're joining us live from oxford thank you. now one of the world's other best known universities is being sued for discriminating against applicants who are asian american harvard in the united states is denying the allegation but the result of the legal battle could influence admissions to u.s. universities for years to come i did show castro has more. it's tough to get into harvard fewer than five percent of students who apply are successful that is unless the applicant is asian american then it's even harder according to a lawsuit which accuses harvard intentionally discriminates against asian americans in order to keep their and roman numbers down if not most of them are marked down subjectively i have admission officers without ever meeting them harvard's internal admissions documents tell of a score system that according to the lawsuit penalizes asian americans in the personality category though they tend to score higher in academic performance and extra curricular activities their personality score based on descriptors like likability and courageousness is lower than that of any other racial group the lawsuit accuses harvard of engaging in racial balancing resulting in more or less the same breakdown of racial groups year after year twenty per cent now the undergraduate body are asian americans we spoke to some of those students who said they support harvard's admissions practices it does suck if you think that. college admissions are on fair but i think for us fairness means a lot more like getting into college daniel lewis studying physics and philosophy at harvard the son of chinese immigrants he says harvard should further investigate the complaints of discrimination against asian americans but preserve that legally sanctioned practice of favoring black and hispanic applicants known as affirmative action the plaintiffs really are just making a big mistake in completing. the constitutionality of affirmative action on the one hand with discrimination or potential legit discrimination against asian americans where the highway first lever blume a white conservative and rebounder of the anti affirmative action group students for fair admissions recruited the unnamed asian americans who are so. doing harvard he declined an interview with zero the debate has split the asian american community some accused of using them as a tool to push his religion of helping white students while others say harvard is using affirmative action as a pass to discriminate against asian americans they don't look at the reality that humans are being discriminated against
