a body the implication his death was premeditated and not the result of a fight that got out of hand each and every day there seems to be new information revealed or leaked the latest this was the car used for that mission in the forest caught by security cameras now an important part of the investigation but there's the feeling turkey's president does far more than has been made public clearly. the president of turkey is trying to use this incident to weaken. the saudi air apparent but. it's a dangerous game to play if he plays his cards as it were too rough for his to insist there are too forceful things could rebound so he's trying still a little bit carefully. the turks seem to know what happened in great detail who may have been responsible and we are the our no bringing them in front of a turkish court seems unlikely but they're pushing on with their inquiries and promise the soon sure what the new all with their allies and the rest of the world and alan joins us now live from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul alan one of the latest developments in the investigation. well we'll just been round to the consular residence very short walk from the consulate itself we're expecting the turks to arrive with a search team at some point in the next day or so the phone the well when they were looking in the garden the mess that the first time they saw it again the wanted to say but the saudis pointed out that they had a list of twenty seven names of people who were there to take part in this search and the specialist team that the turks wanted to bring in was not on the list and therefore the saudis did not give them permission and said you'd have to reapply for permission that's been a frustration for the talks because every time they wanted to search it can chill a car a building a well they've had to get separate permission for each one and even though the saudis say they are cooperating with the turkish investigations the turks feel that sometimes they put red tape in the way they did. a test all the well went to six meters deep they managed to pull some water out of it and sent it away for analysis the results of that analysis back to the sea that there is nothing there to suggest that there is a body or even body parts of jamal khashoggi but of course this is all about crossing the t's and dotting the i's they don't want anyone to see did you check that in months to come they want to make sure that they're building up a complete picture of places that they have set for jamal khashoggi body the kind of know what happened in the consulate itself almost minute by minute but what they don't know is where his body is and that really no is the focus for the turkish investigation and many things on his ears and lives outside decided consulate in istanbul let's take you now to washington just in as mike hanna has more on what action some u.s. politicians are proposing against riyadh. what proposed legislation has been introduced in the house of representatives it's come in the form of a letter signed by a number of congressmen including some republican representatives so it is in effect bipartisan legislation basically what it does is says that saudi arms deals must be reviewed in particular those pertaining to intelligence training and equipment unless president trump provides a report which establishes saudi arabian innocence in this whole affair now this is legislation that has been introduced before was similar type legislation and at the moment the house of representatives and indeed the senate is holiday they will not be returning until after the midterm elections but what this is is a warning to president trump that they are going to continue to maintain pressure on his administration to conclude its investigation into exactly what happened in the death of jamal khashoggi in the course of the day two comments from a former director of the cia he had this to say referring to the crown prince by his initials and b.s. whether or not he authorized the dismemberment the truth that can brutal killing and torture of him in the reported dismembering of his battery but i don't know but i have no doubt my mind. was fully aware of what was going to happen to be in had approved and the current director of the cia she will be briefing president trump at this is the key issue president trump has said he's waiting for all full information from her g. the hospital has been fully briefed it is reported by her turkish counterpart she will have all the information that president needs to take a decision as to how the u.s. should react to the death of jamal khashoggi. scott lucas is a professor of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham he joins us now live via skype from the in the u.k. scott good to have you with us once again what are the chances of this bipartisan bill actually getting anywhere. sloan's that it will pass there is a greater chance that it might reach the floor of either the house or the senate for debate and that would cause some embarrassment to the saudis but to actually stop what was last year's hundred ten billion dollar arms deal i don't think congress would go that far what is more likely to happen is that individual congressman like committee chairman can stop individual small items so for example there's been a whole placed on five hundred million dollars of munitions this year and i think you'll see those symbolic actions limited options from congress rather than a sweeping ban on arms sales what about this idea then that that it's designed in part to keep the pressure up on president trump not to allow this investigation to become a whitewash. well i think that's true in terms of the congressmen who are behind us but remember that the bill that you're just talking about right now has twenty sponsors of the put that in context there are four hundred thirty five members of the house of representatives so this is not like it's a massive effort from congress right now and to be honest i think the leader right now is not coming from the us i think it is still with turkey if turkey continues to bring out new evidence if there are questions about jamal shows he's body and if the saudis are appearing to block that body from coming to light then you might have more congressmen coming on board but right now the focus of the u.s. congress of course for the next two weeks is still on the elections then you've got a couple of months before the new congress takes its places so i really think that at this point although this is a limited symbolic message to donald trump it's not what you would call a groundswell of opposition right now jenna has full is being reported today by u.s. media to have heard the supposed tape that we're all assuming that the turkey is god of the moment that jamal shows she died when she reports back to president trump what differences that could have make. i actually think far more important important congress right now maybe the u.s. agencies and that is soon after jamal the sochi disappeared u.s. agencies backed up the turkish account of the evidence that they had so while double trump was saying oh i don't know if anything happened and then said it was wrote killers it was the cia it was the state department that was saying look we really need to take account of what might have happened here i think gina housefull who followed secular state might come peo in talking to the turks that reinforces the agency saying not in a loud blast against trunk but at a steady level look you cannot go out on a limb and deny that anything happened here so that trump at least has to say at least has to say that if the saudis are found responsible there must be consequences and it's go to the in the light of all of this what do you make of crown prince mohammed bin salmond's speech in riyadh yesterday. that was a whole the line statement from him which was oh it's terrible what happened i'm so sad but nothing to do with may and remember it follows turkish purpose present are the ones most of the day before which was directed not an m.b.a. but a king solomon which is you better get control of your boy what mohamed bin solomon was trying to say yesterday is hey i'm still in control come and get a professor always good to talk to you many thanks d. it's got lucas steps in birmingham one on the breaking news we told you about at the beginning of the program from ethiopia the country's first female president sali work there has been appointed following the resignation of two tests home work two on wednesday or appointment just the latest in a series of progressive developments implemented on the new prime minister ahmet most significantly he's agreed a deal with neighboring eritrea to restore diplomatic and trade ties ending a twenty a border conflict that has been the source of major tension in the region and he became prime minister in april at forty one he's the country's youngest leda ever while the president's role is largely ceremonial he's also appointed the first female defense minister as part of the general gender neutral cabinet meanwhile jailed opposition politicians and journalists have been freed but little's been purrfect obvious how to handle large protests in a room oh the country's largest province he sent federal troops to the area last month in an effort to stem increasing violence against minority groups let's speak to sayle lama who let me i'm sorry who's the editor in chief of the adice standard she joins us now live via skype from frankfurt good to have you with us who is the new president and what will her role be. ambassadors know how they work has a. very extensive experience in being a diplomat serving your country as a diplomat first and also moving into a separate post this was in the united nations. position last one was in nairobi and i know i'm sorry the last one the one that she just resigned from was the representative of the un secretary general and to the african union so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as a as a. diplomat in the past. you know many say it's largely ceremonial by the course of two should also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is the prisoner shyness that motion every fiscal year two boys houses the apar and there are houses. being you know i was the guy at the guidance of the government's activities for it can be yours so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech this morning i also gathered that the president sees all these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say ok how significant is her appointment for ethiopia. it is very significant it's in tandem with recent developments brought by the new prime minister. he's steadily you know a country of more than what had to be meeting people that the other half of the population we men can be interested in to the highest positions of the country and leading. the female into situations last week we have seen example intimate of two women into the highest ranks of security and intelligence the defense and the minister of peace so he's sending that signal that it's ok to interest women into these highest offices so it's quite significant because we have not seen this kind of leadership coming from women so maybe it's about time we changed track of that and he's doing that and it's very significant and what led to previous s's resignation it is not very clear but some are suggesting that it is probably you know the ethnic composition of the current leadership you know people coming from the oromo community are controlling the foreign affairs ministry the prime minister's ministry and others and the presidency you know a president would not assume it comes from the roma community as well so it's probably by the prime minister to see a fair distribution of power among the different it's nic groups in the country as the country's a very diverse one that is what is being said but the government did not mention officiating why the president was resigning one year ahead of he's going to do she demanded of six years really gives. up many thanks indeed for being with us thanks for having me. the saudi embassy led coalition and yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a vegetable packaging factory doctors say the twenty one people killed were factory workers in the town of beit el phuket it's in her data province near the main port in southern yemen controlled by the rebels who've been under attack for months by government and coalition forces investigations are underway to find out who sent explosives and suspicious packages to top democratic leaders and the news network c.n.n. at a rally donald trump condemned the attempted bomb attacks but some are accusing the u.s. president of stoking the flames that have led to increased political violence down to zero as kristen salumi was. one of the packages was addressed barack obama in washington d.c. it was discovered on wednesday morning the night before a package was discovered addressed to hillary clinton's residence in upstate new york both devices were intercepted during routine security screenings at a rally in florida clinton expressed her gratitude we are fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service. who intercepted. the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home a third device addressed to former cia director john brennan did reach c.n.n. studios in new york that led to an evacuation of the time warner center including the anchors who were broadcasting at the time all three packages are reported to have contained explosives and shards of glass as did others discovered in florida and los angeles the ongoing investigation didn't stop president trump or thousands of his supporters from attending a rally in wisconsin or. the president address the attempted attacks first then any actual threats of political violence are to attack on our democracy itself. no nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation coersion or control we all know that it was an uncharacteristically conciliatory tone for the president compared to rallies past democratic leaders have accused the president of telling violence at rallies like this whether it's praising a congressman body slammed a reporter or encouraging supporters who attack protesters but supporters here see things very differently you know small rhetoric on the left as generating all the. right. i don't blame from for that the senior democrat. just let maddox take over the party i used them to meet with discuss things can't do that i think we're going through a period of time right now that i don't think it's good. i don't really blame anybody specifically no blame for the president from this crowd of loyal supporters but then it's those middle of the road swing voters who could make the difference in two weeks' time kristen salumi al jazeera mohseni wisconsin. the remains of soldiers from the korean war more than sixty years ago been sounded the demilitarized zone that separates the waltz and south korea the first to be discovered since last month's summit in pyongyang when the leaders of both countries agreed to start demanding the area you join as more from seoul south korea found two sets of soldier remains at an old battle site where fierce conflict took place towards the end of the one nine hundred fifty to fifty three korean war now you have to remember that this area was sealed off for more than sixty years when the korean war ended in an armistice not a peace treaty and this was sealed off as part of the demilitarized zone now last month the two defense ministers of the two countries finally agreed that they would jointly search this area of the d.m.z. for soldier remains and this happened on the sidelines of the third and a korean summit between south korean president in and north thing very very keen and in pyongyang now south korea says the search for war remains must continue can you get those he does assume that there are more than ten thousand remains in this d.m.z. area including the u.n. forces as well as south korean soldiers who were killed during the korean war. this is the first concrete outcome of the military agreement signed between the two countries back in september and another one is the disarming of the joint security area or at the truce village of punjab to be more exact and this is a very symbolic gesture to as this is the only area along the military demarcation line where soldiers from both sides face each other in close proximity a fully armed and are starting from tomorrow there with thirty five soldiers from each side but there will be no weapons and no guard posts un investigators say that revenge of muslims continue to face genocide in myanmar ahead of a fact finding mission has told the u.n. security council that up to four hundred thousand who remain there suffer severe restrictions and repression automatic at its james space reports. i think it was the meeting they tried to stop russia china and bolivia voting to attempt to block a briefing by the un zone fact finding mission on myanmar china said it was an internal issue even though over seven hundred thousand people fled the country into bangladesh to escape the violence russia said the report of the mission was biased and on reliable even though it runs through four hundred forty pages of searing testimony as the security council veto doesn't apply to procedural matters the chairman of the fact finding mission was eventually able to give his damning conclusions our report characterizes the recent events in iraq. as a human rights catastrophe that was who see able and plan one that will have so impact will many generations to come if not whoever. the details of the report clearly had an impact on some i never thought in my diplomatic career that i would hear a briefing to the security council as compelling detail being such awful treatment of peoples as we have today the u.k. was one of the european countries suggesting the situation be referred to the international criminal court that won't happen because in that case a security council veto could and almost certainly would be used bart an

president the caravan has inadvertently come it's just the right moment for president trump and the republican party and that's because the u.s. midterm elections just two weeks away and the images of the olsen's of people heading for the u.s. border coupled with president trump's inflammatory and unproven remarks are only going to mobilize his support. the one we talked to denied that some

al-jazeera with a news hour that's right after this week's edition of fault lives next. to one of them a very vibrant where there. is a legal one. every finance has. been over and. over most of the bitter. battle. and. labor looked a little out of the deaths in india gail the man. who's out of the ability in the village community but of the many that was. an element in leaving a phenol only of him out of the thick oil that it. is called between his two home countries. yemen a nation destroyed by war and in the midst of what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. and the united states were donald trump's travel ban has now made it seemingly impossible to bring his family. naish illusion to finish a news that. they should follow a new when they want a new day he moved to us. when we met najib and his family had been living in the east african nation of djibouti across the sea from yemen for almost four months. there hasn't been an american embassy in yemen for over three years no because of the war. that means she can see including american citizens like me she have had their cases assigned to foreign countries like booty as they tried to get their armies away from conflict to one of the. mafia hall and a mission to land up another by the head of my feet. my vision in kenya my vision that led up to a loss. i'm not a bill that is not a. limitation to how to. sell this daughter eleven year old was born with cerebral palsy making it more urgent for her to get adequate medical care something that's become increasingly difficult in yemen. to feel the fianna should and. as the war escalated and as you've applied for visas for his family to join him in the u.s. where he works to support them and where she met can get stable medical care. they applied well before donald trump became president and introduced a travel about. now so trying protests more initial chaotic rollout of the would stop the entry of nationals from a number of muslim majority countries including yemen. released just a week after trump took office the two three versions was being challenged in court . so it wasn't until december the full impact on families became clear when the supreme court allowed the third version of the bam to go into effect. a month and a half later in his family had their interview at the u.s. embassy here in djibouti describe what happened in the embassy here and. listen in the mind. i had been so into japan-u.s. so. because she was born after she became a citizen his youngest daughter could be issued a passport but his wife and two other daughters needed visas. and i felt best fear . and how did you feel when you got there and i can learn how is that now not in the hell not only if you stay now it's not. that you see you show me the papers. you would have a well. one of the changes in the latest version of the travel is the inclusion of one pathway to the u.s. a waiver that can be granted on a case by case basis if applicants meet three criteria the more. a little. the would at least this one issue. that he wanted. a well and land with an italian the one with a hole in it it was funny the oven talks are hot and they anything. and always have to have a handle to the little old me how they had. let me have it of them. thought that given chametz condition and the fact that he's an american citizen they would qualify for a waiver. with no appeals process or one hope now would be at the supreme court which was set to hear a challenge to the travel and rule whether to uphold it or not by the summer. until their lives would remain in limbo online into the how they learn to live loudly down the vision in a machine and then in a genre and if. living here cost him his savings forcing him to rely on family and friends to get by the question facing them can they bear the weight in djibouti or will they have to go back to yemen so now a chimp interferes what's your. plan to allow you to get a will to learn. in the field in some ways that i do and then all the fear the unknown and the how little in the saddle and. alice i would enjoy in the last hour . and a lot of gallia money in kenya and. the morning yemen shows no signs of slowing as northern rebels continue to fight with the coalition led by saudi arabia and supported by the united states. now in its fourth year the conflict has destroyed much of the country's infrastructure leading to widespread disease and famine and over twenty two million people in need of humanitarian assistance. it's this that so many yemenis are trying to escape as they try to reunite with their families in the u.s. . instead hundreds have been stranded between their two homes stuck in a foreign country. we went to meet with a group of africans who'd been in djibouti for months many of whom had a ready received a waiver rejections under the ban. who here has u.s. citizenship. so a lot of. so you you have citizenship i was going raised and so you're applying for who my wife. got the feel of paper here so you know what you're going to do now. now let's lift and now look if in the one two minutes we didn't do any good will that be left on the list and i'm going this. to start any of this. most of spend tens of thousands of dollars waiting you know where there's a high cost of living spending fortunes and borrowing fortunes and in the end. if you refuse. where is the hope and i said at the end that most of the last ten years you know i'll do that then i get in the document it was here but i you know you got a country taxi you can just get out if you have their parents to let you know. that's the question facing everyone here as they grow up who are trying to keep her from these united and figure out where their home is no you know how is this affecting your your families torn in broken down emotions will be coming here and signs of hope and then they just tear that apart because the moment of this day was lifted all of these people. visit the nihilists were the notice that they were also denied the way for the mess is an attorney with the center for constitutional rights which has been working with the yemeni american. were perceived waiver objections for the relatives she says there's been little transparency from the administration about how waivers are actually granted there isn't like for my application process that. would be taken and you arch if you're denied that it would be in the national interests let you win and that you don't pose a threat to national security but it's a bit of a saddo boxing exercise because you don't really know what it is you know to show to meet that criteria you don't hear get a waiver. many of the families we met didn't even know that there was a waiver in the largely because they began their application process years ago are you aware of the waiver process was. there people who had gone through their interview process and filed all the documents well before it was ever such a thing as a waiver they didn't even make a case for a new hardship on what basis were they being denied it's like you're getting a rejection for something you didn't even ask for and that seems particularly fast that you know your application for a waiver is behind and you know you've never even applied for one these are u.s. citizens and u.s. awful determined residents who have a right to be be at with their families. one of the couples we met in djibouti has been trying to start a life in the u.s. for nearly three years i'm. very near yeah sure thanks for saying us and make some home answering them. as strange muhammad first moved to new york in this already twenty. when he went back to yemen a few years later he had mozzies or got married and they had their daughter. the war broke out when she was still a toddler. a little i mean the what a big deal but at the intellect if you know what i do know that it tends not to have stopped and i would suspect us by this at all but i can tell a lot of a listener that has that has a. little bit of that has to feel that he has that definitely a lot of muhammad became a citizen when he went back to the u.s. where he was working and most of his family lives and started planning for us these are no no you know to join him. so this is tough and out of for nature without the suit all the freedom going to be found. when they got to do five year old the mayor was given a visa. but her mother was still waiting for a decision moment when same case same number so they normally do might go to be there were so i don't usually get my was rejected. but dioceses interview took place before the ban went into effect and it was unclear to her that she had to make a case for a waiver. i know because a lot of them in atlanta had the i don't know on the record i look at hostile to local short amount. of time. but i've been. pushing the political scene. that says we won't be granted in your case they can to the count the provisions of the culture marriage. they give you any other reason that they explain why it was followed by denying that you've asked for advice with them just question you may even give you information from them and. the family needs to make a decision about their future within days because mahomedan their daughter has to go to the u.s. while she still has a visa. but then the question is where were lies these ago. for how led them to find a hospital that stuck out of hand that pat at the temple would have thought that the path that that fish. and been washed down on one hand i have. said it took them to count. that i had an abandoned house and then it's time that i read. it how did it have to i mean the west had am twice what i want. need. a lot of the lot of a lot. of them and that allows. for what. i lack. the separation facing muhammad. as it is has been shared by too many families. some in djibouti others have been returned to yemen. and their relatives in the us waiting hoping they can be together soon. before the war yemeni americans were able to travel relatively easily between their two home countries. that's the case for abdul forgave he works in the u.s. for an a.t.m. company to support his family. we went to meet him at his apartment just outside new york city home to generations of yemeni americans saw a wave of flood immigrants they came from our area and human outdoes family's roots in the u.s. go back almost a century i'm a fourth generation fourth generation in the country my father was grandfather. from his mother's side the city's my father was a citizen all my uncles are citizens abdul had hoped his children would continue that line too. she is twenty years old my mother is seventeen when i was nine this is my life. and your other son so nineteen years old. there's nothing in this for he first applied for visas for his wife and four children in two thousand and fifteen just after the war began it marked the beginning of their first long separation which lasted almost three years well it's me being here supporting them one. source of income to me i want to live and that was the logic for me to come but the motion i knew was that was a lot of that time. the next time he would see them would be in djibouti when they left yemen and traveled there for their visa interview or to interview together was and jen one hundred twenty nine and the interview the lower one she was eligible for citizenship she get it is that most of the ones where it is you. it's difficult to reconcile obtuse family's history in america with the fact that his own children are now banned from coming here well wasn't that america that we thought that we'd be to them come to. like to have settled here personal lives. from the day we met awful to the rest of his family had just left to booty it was too expensive to stay there so they went to jordan where the wait for the supreme court's decision it's going to be a life changing decision up so that. when you are living there you feel lonely but you're still out of the hole that they're going to come and was just going to be a normal process for to brenne them since it's guess that tata done. with the band. and you feel even lonelier than before. kids are there side of the globe. that it's as it's very. very hard then. waiting for the supreme court ruling has come with steep costs for families. for wading into beauty eventually became possible. and what can happen to the what we know is what you know that's what. you would see. with treatment unavailable for shame and as you've told us he didn't know what to do but go back to yemen where he sent us these messages. was. how did she mother it was that a fetus as soon. as you have a human. will have a. lot of issues that we had. the families we met during a reporting like najib and his family seems like they met the criteria for a waiver under the bed. one of the things that where really sort of scratching our heads about it is a sort of undue hardship requirement and how we can show that many of the people as you can imagine leaving countries like yemen would suffer and you hardship if they're not able to rejoin their families in the u.s. the families we met also seems like they meet the criteria particularly because they're american citizens and in this case his daughter she met needs critical medical care both of which are listed as qualifications to be considered for a waiver. so who's deciding who gets a waiver the u.s. government official position is that it's a consular officers discretionary decision but if you put yourself in a position of a consular officer and you're sort of told and the rhetoric around at the administration is over sort of an overall back and these people from these countries are essentially undesirable we're going to have a much harder luck to decide whether or not someone should be eligible for a waiver. according to state department data sent to congress in the months after the ban went into effect eight thousand four hundred applications from the targeted countries were processed but only two waivers were approved. the state department declined our request to interview officials in djibouti or washington but told us that in the four months period leading up to the supreme court arguments four hundred sixty waivers were granted but they refused to say out of how many applications i claiming that there is a robust waiver process through which you can seek a waiver that sort of takes away some of the harm. to bear more in fashion or cutting out what is an hour right and and not sugarcoating just appear as if you ask him look at what's happening on the ground to see that the waiver process is only there and name not an activist. let's just take for example mr omari the ten year old in late april on the last day of their term going to supreme court heard arguments in the challenge to the travel ban this waiver process has excluded you justice is focused on the waivers and why so few people were being granted them and out of thousands of cases just one was brought up by name a ten year old with cerebral palsy who wants to come to the united states to save her life and she can't move or talk the ten year old was denied a waiver just as why are you surprised when you found out that your case was mentioned at the supreme court number two that in the old have been. you know what can you win what are best method which will. cost the chain not just the team and have been back in the. just a day after the supreme court arguments this received an email from the u.s. embassy in djibouti. because this is the e-mail you got from the embassy. dear mr a lot money during your family's immigrant visa interview at the u.s. embassy. severity of shame as a ripple policy had not only been independently verified by. panel physician but also very apparent to me to surprise the embassy official told them they were now approved for waivers had you heard from the u.s. consulate into beauty at all between when you were ejected first rejected for the waiver and when you got the approval in april. when if either of us and. the embassy official claimed he had always been approved but they couldn't tell him in the meantime as you've been his family spent thousands of dollars in djibouti and traveled back to yemen after the e-mail he had to wait for further instructions and eventually got a call from the embassy telling him they had two weeks to get to the u.s. . from yemen they rushed to djibouti to get their visas and then were finally able to come to the u.s. henri met up with them again that. he has the and you will have it and any move by it of a father and. the family settled in a small town in california same as now receiving proper medical care. and well as a matter that i think if he had any help and if she was that. and then to have a new county and as i'm already had a message back that is more the end of that he wasn't it. was thought about in the c.m.s. that well. the fact that. you think that getting the waiver may have saved her life. and the money he had to do. so you have had no will eventually had she had no and not had i am a couple of children you know menace them to you took out. two months after hearing arguments over the policy the supreme court issued their ruling the travel ban was upheld what do you think about the supreme court's actual ruling on. well why is that a hack and next to about her about here that about next year and it was about out in that one money a many kenyans and it can women and he in the end and the whole me go as a girl u.k. you more than an equal to. the new i'm can live in can i will begin to make an issue i'm making a war i'm taking a war why make you most of those who know him can lead you out of no no just. been his family seem to be an exception to thousands of others left to say is the reality of the court's decision. as to how much of my money in. time you should. get in touch. we met up with muhammad then his daughter and they in brooklyn they traveled here shortly after he met them in djibouti to live with the rest of the summer. evan family and asked which. they decided that as a would go to jordan where muhammad's older brother lives. and after months of aid know already bashir. while not going to cover the world of coffee hamma explain to him cohen in a book. their hope is that a mayor can get her passport or green card soon so she can join her mother in jordan who works in new york but it still means their family will be separated. slieve a little bit time with her mother at a time with her dad it's not good for her it's not good for her life for snowing like three four months for her mother three four months we've had father tests going to relate to person. it's. about a guy that's next. china she asked actually. i love this country that's like my country i love a multitude. and that's one of this won't i need to plan it inside my daughter to love this country. but if you tell you as my mother laid memphian to go one day as i was what happened that time what about telling. a mythical wearing your muffin. she needs a mother because everybody have kids have wife so we know you know how it is that we know different with we all the same same feeling seeing everything. so feel if you play it now have it pretty and. he did. and show lemmy i am i love it. with the court's ruling their future now will be defined by their separation a home split in two. to make them can become a criminal one shot from this. and they should then be in a memo no i said you've sort of bent and so have a. business updates to you by. going places together. business updates. going places together. support. the stories. this is. coming up the next sixty minutes. the saudi crown prince mohammed bin selma makes his first public comments on the death of journalist jamal. farmer's market becomes the latest target of saudi strikes in yemen these twenty one people are killed. also ahead suspicious packages high profile targets investigators in the u.s. search for clues to find out who's behind the series of suspected mailbox. let's get going if you has its first female president she is sally works out days appointments following the resignation of. two long weapons date now she takes office as part of a wider reshuffle by the prime minister. which is seen one of the world's first gender balanced cabinets sally work as a career diplomat and will leave her role as the u.n. special representative to the african union to take office well it's just the latest in a series of progressive developments implemented under the new prime minister most significantly he's agreed a deal with neighboring eritrea to restore diplomatic and trade ties ending a twenty year border conflict that had been the source of meta tension in the region he became prime minister in april at forty one he is the country's youngest leader ever while the president's role is largely ceremonial he's also appointed the first female defense minister as part of a gender neutral cabinets meanwhile jailed opposition politicians and journalists have been freed but all is not being perfect as how to handle large protest and the country's largest province he sent federal troops to the area last month in an effort to stem increasing violence against minority groups. elias capra flossy is an ethiopian journalist who joins us on the line from the capital addis ababa elias how significant is this latest developments in the the opening up of the country always. present there now didn't fit in with. the very public should for example something that requires. a big supermarket full of i thought to be there i thought. i'd also come to like i. want to be called. i'm going to describe it. people who the people from favor of it seem to think oh. my kinda require anything a concern about the pipe is. being is very big. might seem a liason i'm very sorry the quality of the line is not as good as perhaps it should be we'll come back if we can in the next few minutes the dalai lama is editor in chief of the at his stand she says even though the role is largely ceremonial the president still has potential to lead reform. ambassadors how they work has. very extensive experience in being a diplomat and serving your country as a people much person or so moving into separate post as was in the united nations. position her last one was in nairobi and i know started her last wonder whether she just resigned from. a representative of the un secretary general to the african you need so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as a satirist carrying diplomats in the past. you know many say it's largely ceremonial by the course to shoot it he's also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is their prisoner shana's ofis that ten percent motion every fiscal year two boys houses the after and there are houses asked to gaiety you know i would line the guy at the guidance of the government's activities for it can be yours so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech this morning i also gathered that the president sees all these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say. congress members in the us have introduced a bill to ban most sales to saudi arabia as the global fallout of the killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi continues to grow a bipartisan group led by senior democrat jim mcgovern is sponsoring the bill it would cut military cooperation with saudi arabia unless u.s. investigators provide proof the saudi government did not order or direct national she's met meanwhile the head of the cia is heading back to washington after spending the past two days in turkey u.s. media is reporting that you know house bill listen to an ordeal recording of the. the journalist was killed inside the consulate in istanbul this as the international spotlight is pointed directly at the saudi crown prince who denies ordering the operation on weapons a mohammed bin solomon made his first comments on the killing he said it was a painful crime and the justice will prevail shortly will get latest from c.n.n. kosovo an anchor of a first let's cross to istanbul and my colleague alan fischer alan as of today where are we with the investigation. well it's still continuing i've just been round to the consular residence which is a very short walk from the consulate itself here in istanbul but we're expecting turkey search teams to return there you remember the been in the garden while they were in the garden they saw that there was a well the and they wanted to investigate the well they didn't have the proper equipment a good six meters down and they said to the saudis look we want to check this out we need to bring in a specialist team and the saudis said well you have twenty seven people in the garden they are searching the people that you want to bring in they are not mentioned in the list so therefore we don't give them permission you have to seek separate permission for that that's been a source of frustration during the investigation that every time the turks have wanted to search a car a consulate building a certain part of the consulate they've got to get separate permission so the saudis say they're working with the turks there has been this element of red tape or the turkey search teams did do i search as far as the could of the well the two some water samples those water samples suggest that there is not a body or body parts in there but they still want to go back this is all about dotting the i's and crossing the t.'s so than a couple of months no one's can see that they didn't do a fool investigation and this is all about building a big picture to find out where your marquee shook his body could possibly be know . even the routine looks suspicious now. i say the consular residence in istanbul do with cleaning sewers it happens a few times a year this street was due but with turkish forensic teams searching everywhere possible for clues to look eat jamal khashoggi his body this takes on a new significance it's now about trying to piece together a complex gruesome jigsaw with huge international implications you would think that the whole effort would be to see that justice was done early seemed to be done at least in. the guilty parties but of course it's much more complicated than that because it involves a whole web of relationship in this very complex region and also course the united states that is the car park in istanbul suburb or so the consular car was discovered it was searched turkish police found a computer and clothes but still don't know why it was here then there is the place where an alleged should you body double the clothes he was wearing when he left the consulate all done to suggest the right or left the building the turkish president says a saudi team came here to this forest a short drive from istanbul the day before jamal khashoggi died the suggestion they were looking for a place to dump a body the implication his death was premeditated and not the result of a fight that got out of hand each and every day there seems to be new information revealed or leaked the latest this was the car used for that mission in the forest caught by security cameras now an important part of the investigation but there's the feeling turkey's president was far more than has been made public clearly. the president of turkey is trying to use this incident to weaken. the saudi arab parents but how it's a dangerous game to play if he plays his cards as it were too rough for these two and sister to forceful things could rebound so he's trying still a little bit carefully. the turks seem to know what happened in great detail who may have been responsible and we are now bringing them in front of a turkish court seems unlikely but they're pushing on with their inquiries and promise to soon sure what they know with their allies and the rest of the world. as we've been hearing mohammed been summoned made his first public comments when he addressed the conference and riyadh on wednesday a couple of things to note from now first of all he described what happened here at the consulate as a humorous crime but he never mentioned your mouth name at all during that he changed his tone as well when he was talking about how tough he said that the economy there was important these are the first nice words he said about a half hour since the start of the embargo in the middle of last year and that perhaps signals a torrent from have been sound man it's interesting that that came after he had a conversation with the president after one of the talking it may well be that he's already started to influence a prince someone that he hasn't treated that with a great deal of respect in the past someone he doesn't really trust and someone whose influence he's trying to limit not just in the region but around the world when it comes to the forensic aspects of the investigation now and you get the feeling that that is almost coming to a close now. but i think the turks have been very selective in what they have leaked they obviously know a lot more than has been made public i think it's interesting that the turks probably know in detail what happened in the building behind me almost minute by minute from some of the things that the intelligence services have leaked and they've shared that information with the hospital who's of course the head of the cia and she will take that back to washington as far as the forensic operation is concerned what they're trying to do is find out exactly what happened to democracy of utility of course the saudis say that the local person who helped me then was given the task of disposing of the body you get the feeling that the turks don't actually believe that the body was dismembered there no trying to find find the d.n.a. on where that body may be where body parts might actually be whether it's actually even still in the country or has been transported away by the two teams that left just hours after jamal khashoggi to death allan thanks very much. well the turkish foreign minister has reiterated again that anyone involved in the killing must be put on trial in turkey medlicott a sort of since tookie shared information with some interested parties under the market there is no indication that we will escalate this to the international court at this time but if it is escalated there is no doubt that turkey would share any information that you have. to ankara and my colleagues. clearly the turks have a line in the sand of which they are not prepared to cross bought on the plus side they are talking to the saudis. yes exactly peter turkey has aligned it because turkey is present bargain has been dealing with king sound man by imposing him and reminding him the responsibility of being the leader of the sunni world but of course turkey always try to emphasize tries to emphasize that turkey is not going to give up chasing after the investigation or after justice for. who has been and who has been murdered in this. but an hour ago here in this whole turkey's foreign minister chair which will have the press conference with his palestinian counterpart and when i asked the valves whether this case is going to be carried out international law because it's not only about turkey it is it is a diplomatic crime as president don frame two days ago it's a political murder but foreign minister childish was that turkey doesn't have the intention to carry that to international criminal court but even if the international community takes an initiative to carry it out to international criminal court turkey will do its bets its best to provide evidences and do all kinds of help but he also said that these saudi arabia confessed the murder but here we have an answer to questions he said and he said why did they arrest those eighteen people and who gave the order to those people to murder jamal khashoggi and still if they kill if you was killed in a so-called fistfight in the consul general consulate building there is the body why don't they show us where the body is these are the questions that must be answered and this investigation is an ongoing in turkey that's why those people should be tried in turkey according to turkish law he set these are the basic points that foreign minister chair which will emphasized thanks very much. let's talk now to andrew's creek and various is assistant professor of the defense studies department at king's college london he joins us from the and risk what was your reading of the speech of the address the information i guess that we got from the crown prince yesterday yes i think this was very much a p.r. effort i think it would produce very nice images that showed that mob inside man despite the pressure was very relaxed he no he knew he kind of show that he was on top of everything he was joking around with the prime minister of lebanon he seemed to be you know the kind of leader that this saudis want and that's key here i think the the audience the key audience for that entire speech was probably more the saudis the saudi public than the international community because i think in the international community might have been so mine has really you know has is a reputation has really been so tarnished that anything he's saying now is really not going to help him but it's about showing the saudis that he's still in the drawer in the driver's seat and it's also true he was trying to really redirect the entire conversation on where saudis going what's happening in saudi away from the question and saying it's all about the economy let's not talk about the politics behind it it's as do focus on the economy and i think that is something that people in the audience at least in in riyadh want to hear again it didn't really resonate well with the international community and the international media does the next chapter in this continuing drama start with somebody perhaps in riyadh perhaps in ankara saying yes the saudis definitely killed him here's how they killed him and this is evident surely what happened to the body. yeah i mean if once that happens that will always the increase the pressure and i you know i've been traveling through various capitals in the last two weeks i was in washington was in brussels yesterday i was in paris if you look at if you look to if you speak with european leaders if you speak to american leaders bipartisan i think nobody is buying the story everybody including the drum is tradition are speaking about a cover up there and i think the cia yesterday received some of the information conveyed to the white house on how this happened you know there is an audiotape apparently if that is all coming to the open and for the media to see for the public to see the pressure is something that will have been so man cannot just shy away from but then again there are very few were turned if he set up a system in saudi arabia that make him you know always an omnipotent individual and nobody would be able to take that away from him at this point so i think we also have to be very realistic people will downgrade their relations with saudi arabia particularly in the security and military realm but when it comes to economy marvin someone said yesterday you know if it is all about the economy and he wants the middle east to be more of like a european construct where the economy is somewhat uniting different countries uniting different players and saudi arabia being one of the motors of the middle east and economic development there he's absolutely right about this saudi arabia is one of the motors the problem this with all of this is that politics has been divisive have been sad man has been divisive in the policy that he's driving in the entire region where there was lebanon qatar yemen and other places and what is needed here if you wanted the middle east to become another europe not in terms of values but in terms of a united economy what you need is unity and i think one of it's i was trying to look at it yes a saying possibly paving the ground for reconsideration with turkey and qatar and saying you know maybe we can all work together for the economy whether this is so fight this is all talk all these actions have shown in the show that he's going coming from a different direction and he's more concerned actually with divided. then uniting the region and i think that's a key problem if you wanted to do build a very strong economy in the region does it have to do a u. turn on that fiscal stance primarily by easing or getting rid of the g.c.c. blockade of cattle because you seem to be saying clearly he needs friends in the region he needs a middle man friend in the region would a way of achieving that be to get rid of the blockade of cancer which has been in place now for more than a year. absolutely that's the that's the that's a no brainer i mean we're talking about uniting the middle east i mean that is a task that is almost impossible to achieve you should start in front of you know he should start in the front of his own doorstep and that is qatar and i think part of the conversations that have been had between qatar and turkey turkey and saudi you know qatar what did play a role in these conversations in negotiations and there seems to be an understanding and i'm not sure there's a readiness yet but there's an understanding in saudi arabia that the internet community particularly the turks but also the americans want this blockade to be over and if saudi arabia wanted to flourish it can only flourish not in competition with qatar or the u.a.e. and its neighbors but incorporation with its neighbors so it's never going to be a recurrence relation based on emotions and friendship and hugs it's going to be a very technocratic reconsideration which is purely pragmatic based on the fact that we're better off together than divided so i feel like there is a bit of a rethink that something that's the undertone of that speech yesterday was that possibly there is a way to to reach out to the countries in a very technocratic pragmatic way will now have to see whether the saudis can deliver on that but as a reaction to what happened jamal khashoggi when you were talking about you know some sort of fiscal construct across the gulf region along the lines of the fiscal construct but is see the european union the european union and their reaction to what happened to jamal khashoggi has been a moral construct as well his critics the crown prince's critics would say you cannot even begin to try to occupy the moral high ground for a long time given what the country has said of itself when it comes to what happened to jamal khashoggi inside that consulate building. absolutely i mean this is the i mean think the comparison with europe is completely falls for two reasons one it doesn't resonate well with locals they don't want to be another europe middle easterners don't see themselves as europeans and don't try to be europeans the second thing it doesn't resonate well with the international community particularly with europeans came back from a couple meetings in brussels yesterday and europeans are very very critical of this like europe is a construct based on values saudi arabia so far has not shown that it is a construct based on values and anything we have been so long as done is actually infringing these basic values that bring europe together so he would have to it would have been a one it has to be one hundred eighty degree u. turn and one that is based on belief as well before we can go and talk about the economy but again let's not forget in europe it was the economy that brought all these countries together but based on certain values bob and simon has now is to make an effort showing the international community showing other arab or middle eastern countries that it is a country that hears by values so far it has shown the exact opposite of that and that's why there's a huge question mark of over everything he said yesterday. as a thought provoking stuff from yourself thank you so much. the sodium iraqi led coalition in yemen says it's investigating an

residence in upstate new york both devices were intercepted during routine security screenings at a rally in florida clinton expressed her gratitude we are fine thanks to the men and women of the

that led to an evacuation of the time warner center including the anchors who were broadcasting at the time all three packages are reported to have contained explosives and shards of glass as did others discovered in florida and los angeles the ongoing investigation didn't stop president trump or thousands of his supporters from attending a rally in wisconsin or. the president address the attempted attacks first then any action or threats of political violence are to attack on our democracy itself. no nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation coersion or control we all know that it was an uncharacteristically conciliatory tone for the president compared to rallies past democratic leaders have accused the president of telling violence at rallies like this whether it's praising a congressman body slammed a reporter or encouraging supporters who attack protesters but supporters here see things very differently you know small rhetoric on the left as generating all the. right. i don't know i don't blame from for that the senior democrats have just left to take over the party i used to democratic friends and we would discuss things can't do that i think we're going through a period of time right now but i don't think it's going to last so i don't really blame anybody specifically no blame for the president

rebellion and leave the army. and so went from foot soldier with a basic primary education to motorcycle dealer landlord. and chicken farmer clings to the twenty six thousand dollars the state paid him in cash that's the yearly earning of professor kwame after thirty five years of teaching physics at. a university. it's shocking to us that means using force is the only way to get heard our whole education system needs more help so that we can educate young people to not use violence but peaceful means to communicate. and so teachers are on strike civil servants and police officers to want cash bonuses and threatened industrial action saying they deserve more money for their work. ivory coast is economy is one of the fastest growing on the continent the country is booming but the inequalities that triggered the possible war remain and so the challenge for the government is to address these grievances before they turn to popular resentment. presidential elections are just a year away the divisions between those that receive support from the state and those that haven't are creating a rift which politicians now are exploiting. despite the country's new wealth ivory coast continues to be haunted by a past it cannot yet escape the hawk al-jazeera. well another day another development in the aftermath of the death of jamal khashoggi we are hearing from the saudi public prosecutor's office they are saying that the killing of jamal khashoggi was pre meditated so there's a certain symmetry now beginning to build between what the saudi public prosecutor authorities are saying and what their opposite numbers in ankara and istanbul are saying of course the turks have been saying for several days now more than several days perhaps two two and a bit weeks of the death of the saudi journalist who worked for the washington post was premeditated any idea officially now on the part of the saudis that this was an interrogation that went wrong it wasn't it was premeditated murder according to the saudi public prosecutor's office more on that assumes we can. the biggest nato military drills since the one nine hundred eighty s. are now underway in norway thirty one countries are taking part in the war games which will last for several weeks they come at a time of increasing pressure on the alliance as alex go topless now reports from norway. they've been arriving in norway since august for the biggest exercises nato has wrong since the end of the cold war soldiers from every nato country plus finland and sweden i had to train for the next were called trident juncture the maneuvers take place across most of scandinavia involving fifty thousand troops two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five naval ships including the harry s. truman aircraft carrier and ten thousand military vehicles the exercises come at a time when the alliance is facing fierce criticism from an american administration that is frustrated but fellow members it says are not pulling their weight i think that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing a lot of the countries and we were doing much more than we should have been doing frankly we were carrying too much of a burden that's why we call it burden sharing president trump was especially critical of germany but the senior nato partners the wargames biggest contributor with eight thousand of its troops participating in. these high visibility exercises and not just about training they're designed to bolster nervous alliance members especially those bordering russia the host nation for the war games norway is considered a core part of the northern norm of nato it shares two hundred kilometers worth of border with russia and as it defended itself in the past norway trained no to defend itself in the future. and with good reason russia held to shoot military wargames over the last two years or west in two thousand and seventeen and vostok or east earlier this year involving three hundred thousand soldiers the wolfing nato is current exercise. with this pressure on the alliance at a time of rising regional geopolitical tension nato is nervous allies will be looking to try conjuncture for reassurance. and alex joins us live now from trondheim so alex what events of this starting with today. these are the start of the field exercises that nato is running and it's broken down into three parts combined arms so you have an army element as the various militaries will be training for river crossings and fifty assaults we have more air battles in the skies above scandinavia and of course there's a naval element involving the aircraft carrier the harry s. truman as well. significant to see the start of the exercises obviously the partnership for interrupting you there what's the significance of the war games. we're talking about an exercise in collective security no immense and no one mentions russia but everybody is looking east we've had huge exercises run by russia over the last two three years hundreds of thousands of troops integrating knowledge so they have learned to picked up operationally from the conflict in syria and nato is clearly training to respond to this as well not only to defend frontline states but also to retake them in case there is any future conflict alex thanks very much a filmmaker from ukraine who serving a twenty year prison sentence in russia for opposing the annexation of crimea has won a major prize for defending human rights and fundamental freedoms the european parliament has awarded its annual cycle of prize two cents off he says russian security services tortured him into confessing terrorism three years ago the kremlin critic was on hunger strike for one hundred forty five days earlier this year and joins us live from moscow step how significant is this. well this is very significant for himself of course because it's an encouragement for the ordeal that he has been going through for the last four years and as you said he has been on a very long and very exhausting hunger strike which started in may just for the world cup because he wanted to put pressure on particularly president vladimir putin to release not only him but also seventy other ukrainian political prisoners well put and hasn't budged and they're all still in prison he has actually sounds of himself stopped a hunger strike just a few weeks ago because he's for threatening to to force feed him his condition was done very very weak apparently he lost seventeen kilos and also his psychological condition is very worrying he doesn't want to have any visitors nor family nor friends nobody is allowed to visit him because he's worried that he would be even more depressed if people would visit him so it's still the same situation of course he would be very delighted to have this prize but it wouldn't change the situation that he's been in jail and he's sentenced to twenty years so it could be a very very long jail term for him given his situation step do you know if you know that he's one. i think you will know because he can be reached his lawyer will probably notify him by by telephone or anything like that there are possibilities to pass messages on but we haven't heard from him what his response is so far we also haven't heard from the kremlin of course so far what their response would be because they're wouldn't take this very easily or very happily i'm sure thanks very much. now malta is the only country within the european union with still a total ban on abortion despite being liberal in many ways this predominantly catholic island nation in the mediterranean maintains a hardline on one issue however as need barker explains from the capital the letter a multi is playwrights is challenging the law in his first place to discuss the subject openly. you get to pray for the sort of day in rehearsal the cast of a new play called determining. if each is seven characters male and female or based on interviews with people on both sides of the piece abortion debate. but he. writes to. the writer hopes theater will help tackle a subject if you are willing to discuss in public this is the most delicate subject and. nothing else and we discuss politics we discuss migration we've got hot on the collar where it comes to abortion we simply don't discuss it it's you know there are no shades of gray it's black and white. not her real name travel to the u.k. for an abortion following an unplanned pregnancy the only people when you are to try to have made best friends how aware are you of other women in similar situations or who have gone through similar things here in malta so many. then six of my. close friends it's probably much more common than we think paolo was able to borrow money to pay for her abortion others don't have a choice despite the human rights groups say the island's abortion rights are no different to countries where it's legal pretty much in the rest of the world now it's just a matter of it's just because it's not at all. and that was another issue reason as to why we feel that this needs to be because women should not continue living in shaking fear despite malta strict stance on abortion in recent years there have been a series of seismic social and cultural changes here divorce was legalized in two thousand and eleven rights equivalent to marriage had been given to gay couples and contraception is no longer frowned upon but when it comes to abortion there are ethical and. moral reservations that have an awful lot to do with tradition and religious beliefs. ninety eight percent of multis are roman catholics the church prohibits abortion many are devout believers such as the island's former finance minister we see fundamentally the child in the name of our mother as a human being a fully human being the peace to be respected there is something ingrained in the maltese population that value life from the from the real beginning from conception multi societies undergone major change in recent years but abortion remains to blue too sensitive a subject for successive governments to risk losing votes over or even openly discuss i have come. to the clear this play is attempting to widen the debate beyond the stage of need al-jazeera for letter malta. the former french president nicolas sarkozy has lost an

interim president mary bono resigned just days into the job making for high ranking officials to leave in the last six months right now we have people that really are not in tune with what really is happening within our community and what has happened and they're refusing to make really really huge changes which no one is going to move forward until we do now by as was one of nearly one hundred sixty women who accused of sexual abuse the twenty one year old has that speaking about what happened to her was empowering and she feels now that she has the responsibility to be a role model in doha

jamal khashoggi in the country's consulate in istanbul was premeditated saudi arabia has given the various accounts over the past three weeks including the threshold she died accidentally when he was put in a choke hold during a fistfight it comes as congress members in the u.s. have introduced a bill to ban most arms sales to saudi arabia a bipartisan group led by a senior democrat is demanding an end to military cooperation unless proof is found that the saudi leadership did not order a short she's killing the head of the cia is headed back to washington d.c. after spending the last two days in key u.s. media is reporting that gina housefull has listened to an audio recording of the moment that the job. list was killed inside the consulate in istanbul she's expected to brief president donald trump on the case in the coming hours let's take you live now to istanbul al-jazeera alan fischer is outside the saudi consulate in the city allan what is that the latest on the investigation. well you would suggest that this is perhaps a surprising admission by the saudis but what is not surprising is the fact that the narrative of what happened in the consulate has changed we're now hearing from the state prosecutor as you see that jamal khashoggi death was premeditated they came to this conclusion after the speech by president to one of tuckey in recent days and also information shared by the turkish investigative teams no legal expert but if something is premeditated that would change what happened to jamal khashoggi from manslaughter to martyr and certainly we know that the turks are saying that those that are responsible should be extradited back to turkey so that they can face justice here the big question for investigators of course now is where is the body of jamal khashoggi they have checked in many places including round the consulates residence just a short walk from here i'm not expecting search teams to return there in the coming days to look at a well which was tested out of the water and it was tested certainly during the first search but no they want to send people down into the well itself to realize any possibility that body parts are jamal khashoggi body itself is actually there this is all a process of dotting the i's and crossing the t.'s for the turkish investigative team they don't believe that there is anything there but they want to check because because they see trying to find the body or where it has been left is no one of the most important parts of this investigation. even the routine looks suspicious now. i think the consular residence in istanbul they were cleaning soon as it happens a few times a year this street was due but with turkish forensic teams searching everywhere possible for clues to look eat jamal khashoggi his body this takes on a new significance. it's no but trying to piece together a complex gruesome jigsaw with huge international implications you would think that the whole effort would be to see that justice was done early seemed to be done at least to name the guilty parties but of course it's much more complicated than that because it involves a whole web of relationship in this very complex region and also of course the united states there is the car park in istanbul suburb where so many consular car was discovered it was searched turkish police found a computer and clothes but still don't know why it was here then there is the place where an alleged should you body double the clothes he was wearing when he left the consulate all done to suggest the right or left the building the turkish president says a saudi team came here to this forest a short drive from istanbul the day before jamal khashoggi died the suggestion they were looking for a place to dump a body the implication his death was premeditated and not the result of a fight that got out of hand. each and every day there seems to be new information revealed or leaked the latest this was the car used for that mission in the forest caught by security cameras now an important part of the investigation but there's the feeling turkey's president does far more than has been made public clearly. the president of turkey is trying to use this incident to weaken. the saudi arab areas but. it's a dangerous game to play if he plays his cards as it were to roughly or if he's still insists there are too forceful things could rebalance so he's playing with still a little bit carefully. the turks seem to know what happened in great detail who may have been responsible and we are now bringing them in front of a turkish court seems unlikely but they're pushing on with their inquiries and promise the soon sure what they know with their allies and the rest of the world. adrian as you point this is just part of the changing narrative from the saudis of course first of all we heard that democracy had left the consulate behind me and then move we're told that he had died after a fierce fight when he. got involved in a brawl with fifteen trained military people who were at the embassy and then as you see this story changed to know what actually happened was he raised his voice the team that was there from saudi arabia got skeered and put him in a chalk cauldron at that point he died his body was then removed by some look or help and know that they are seeing that no this was a premeditated murder premeditated killing which would certainly escalate it to murder and that would support what the turks have been saying since the very beginning we know that the turkish president spoke with the crown prince mohammed bin selman just on wednesday and it looks as if that conversation may well have helped not to the saudis along to this admission that we've heard in the last twenty minutes or so. and many thanks alan fischer there reporting live from istanbul. ethiopia has its first female president sali work days appointment follows the resignation of model to show may work through on whedon's a she takes office as part of a wider reshuffle by prime minister ahmed which is seen one of the world's first gender balanced cabinets so i work as a career diplomat and believe her role as the un special representative to the african union in order to take office will the new european ethiopian president has a long history in diplomacy and out of advocacy she served as ethiopia's ambassador to france and djibouti and worked at the top level in the country's ministry of foreign affairs she was also the permanent representative to the un's peacebuilding office in the central african republic before moving to become director general of the organizations regional base in nairobi the sixty eight year old brings three decades of top level diplomatic experience to the role astri simply she was appointed by the u.n. secretary general antonio television to be his key link to the african union joining us now on the line from alice of about is our own must show who is a reuters correspondent covering ethiopia and the african union good to have you with us aren't you the new president gave a speech to parliament this morning what did she say. thank you very much for the bench and if you people on the floor and you can get more than this on iraq go to become the first. post. objects in the country parts of people's ability to. focus on two things one been divided got the country. to live of course me know that you people are people the country gripped by thoughts of. hitler. or. unless every few people worked hard to clean reparation the people in the country by the second punching very quickly complaints. change and develop solutions to only that in the country but. let me think that we couldn't pounce upon them in the country that the others want to. keep our topics with. our lives i'm sorry to interrupt you. what is the significance of her appointment to you but there again. i'm sorry we seem to have lost our connection. to it is how about we will move on police in the us are responding to reports of a suspicious package in the tri back area of new york city it's not yet known if it's linked to mail bombs that were sent to leading democrats including former presidents barack obama bill clinton and his wife hillary there's a live pictures from the scenes right now c.n.n. also received a suspicious package president donald trump has condemned the attempted attacks as despicable let's go live now to washington d.c. kimberly how could his watching this picture is to kimberly what are we seeing here . you know what we're seeing is in fact and i'm looking on the screen to see oh i see the pictures of me and you right now but the pictures that we had seen earlier on that are being played on domestic television it's really following very closely a vehicle that is contained inside it is in fact what the police are calling right now a suspicious device now this is not something that they have confirmed because this is a breaking news story but certainly those in new york city who are you know covering this beat wrist some regularity have been able to determine this and have been leaking this out and so this is what is being covered domestically now why is the international news media following this was you point out this comes one day after a series of discoveries this would be the eighth discovery of a suspicious device this one to the very prominent actor robert de niro who has been a vocal critic of donald trump is is known supporter of democratic causes and why this is interesting of course is because the previous discoveries of suspicious devices were also sent to prominent democratic politicians for president barack obama the former first lady hillary clinton the list goes on in terms of those. packages that have been sent to democratic. prominent democratic figures so of course this is of concern because we're in the lead up to a u.s. election one that is controversial ones very pivotal age and this is just adding to the tension now we should point out that as he has been campaigning donald trump campaigning for politicians of events of that very important vote he has condemned the violence but at the same time he's also getting some pushback because of the tone that he has set in the past given the fact that he has been very vocal not just in his public rallies but also on. social media often name calling some of the democratic opponents call him the crazy low i.q. so there is some pushback in the united states right now perhaps making the argument donald trump is is also responsible for the tone that has potentially led to this very controversial and now dangerous situation kimberly bennett thanks white house correspondent kelly in washington. we're

aircraft carrier and ten thousand military vehicles the exercises come at a time when the alliance is facing fierce criticism from an american administration that is frustrated with fellow members it says are not pulling their weight i think that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing a lot of the countries and we were doing much more than we should have been doing frankly we were carrying too much of a burden that's why we call it burden sharing president trump was especially critical of germany but the senior nato partner is the war game's biggest contributor with eight thousand of its troops participating in. these high visibility exercises and not just about training they're designed to bolster nervous alliance members especially those bordering russia the host nation for the war games norway is considered a core part of the northern norm of nato. it shows two hundred kilometers worth of border with russia and as it defended itself in the post norway trains will to defend itself in the future. and with good reason russia held to shoot military wargames over the last two years or west in two thousand and seventeen vostok or east earlier this year involving three hundred thousand soldiers wolfing nato is current exercise. with this pressure on the alliance at a time of rising regional geopolitical tension natives nervous allies will be looking to try conjuncture for reassurance hopeless of just syria. the way. the remains of soldiers from the korean war more than sixty years ago been found in the demilitarized zone that separates north and south korea the first to be discovered since last month's summit in pyongyang when the leaders of both countries agreed to start demining the area you join has more from seoul south korea found two sets of soldier remains at an old battle site where fierce conflict took place towards the end of the one nine hundred fifty to fifty three korean war now you have to remember that this area was sealed off for more than sixty years when the korean war ended in an armistice not a peace treaty and this was sealed off as part of the demilitarized zone now last month the two defense ministers of the two countries finally agreed that they would jointly search this area the d.m.z. for soldier remains and this happened on the sidelines of the third into korean summit between south korean president in and north thing be very keen and in pyongyang now south korea says the search for war remains must continue can you get those he does assume that there are more than ten thousand remains in this d.m.z. area including the u.n. forces as well as south korean soldiers who were killed during the korean war. this is the first concrete outcome of the military agreement signed between the two countries back in september and another one is the disarming of the joint security area or at the truce village of puns of to be more exact and this is a very symbolic gesture to as this is the only area along the military demarcation line where soldiers from both sides face each other in close proximity a fully armed and are starting from tomorrow they will be thirty five soldiers from each side but they will be no weapons and no guard posts a filmmaker from ukraine who's serving a twenty year prison sentence in russia for opposing the annexation of crimea has won a major prize for defending human rights and fundamental freedoms the european parliament awarded its annual sakharov prize to own leg sense of he says the russian security services tortured event confessing terrorism three years ago a kremlin critic was on a hunger strike for one hundred forty five days earlier this year sébastien reports from moscow. well this is very significant for himself of course because it's an encouragement for the ordeal that he has been going through for the last four years and as you said he has been on a very long and very exhausting hunger strike which started in majors for the world cup because he wanted to put pressure on particularly president vladimir putin to release not only him but also seventy other ukrainian political prisoners well put and hasn't budged and they're all still in prison yes actually sounds of himself stop the hunger strike just a few weeks ago because for threatening to to force feed him his condition was done very very weak apparently he lost seventeen kilos and also his psychological condition is very worrying he doesn't want to face have any visitors nor family nor friends nobody is allowed to visit him because he's worried that he would be even more depressed if people would visit him so it's still the same situation of course he would be very delighted to have this prize. is now the only country in the european union with a total ban on abortion despite being liberal in many ways the predominantly catholic island in the mediterranean maintains a hard line on the issues of his own seriously barker reports from the capital valencia maltese playwright is challenging the law in his first play to discuss the subject openly. you get to pray for the sort of day in rehearsal the cast of a new play called determining. if each is seven characters male and female or based on interviews with people on both sides of the feast abortion debate. but he. they have rights to. the writer hopes theater will help tackle a subject if you are willing to discuss in public this is the most delicate subject and. nothing else and we discuss politics we discuss migration we've got hot on the collar where it comes to abortion we simply don't discuss it it's you know there are no shades of gray it's black and white. not her real name travel to the u.k. for an abortion following an unplanned pregnancy the only people when you want to try to have made best friends how aware are you of other women in similar situations or who have gone through similar things here in malta so many. six. of course. it's probably much more common than we think pilar was able to borrow money to pay for her abortion others don't have a choice despite the human rights groups say the island's abortion rates are no different to countries where it's legal pretty much in the average as the rest of the world you know it's just a matter of it's just because it's not at all. and that was another issue reason as to why we feel that this needs to be because women should not continue living in shaking and in fear despite malta strict stance on abortion and recent years there have been a series of seismic social and cultural changes here divorce was legalized in two thousand and eleven rights equivalent to marriage have been given to gay couples and contraception is no longer frowned upon but when it comes to abortion there are ethical and. moral reservations that have an awful lot to do with tradition and religious beliefs. ninety eight percent of multis are roman catholics the church prohibits abortion many are devout believers such as the island's former finance minister we see fundamentally the child in the name of our mother as a human being a fully human being the piece to be respected there is something ingrained in the maltese population that value life from the from the real beginning from conception multi societies undergone major change in recent years but abortion remains to blue too sensitive a subject for successive governments to risk losing votes over or even openly discuss i have come. to be clear this play is attempting to widen the debate beyond the stage the need. for letter multan. it is good said he with adrian from going to here in doha the top stories this hour on al-jazeera the saudi prosecutor's office says the killing of the journalist. was premeditated saudi arabia has given various accounts of the apparent murder over the past three weeks alan fish as the latest from istanbul. the big question for investigators of course now is where is the body of jamal khashoggi they have checked in many places including round at the consulate residence just a short walk from here i'm not expecting search teams to return there in the coming days to look at a well which was tested of the water and it was tested certainly during the first set but no they want to send people down into the well itself to realize any possibility that body parts or democracy body itself is actually there if you hope it has its first female president sali work zero day was appointed by parliament days after prime minister ahmed approved an equal number of male and female government ministers she's a career diplomat

sent to leading democrats including former presidents barack obama bill clinton and his wife hillary c.n.n. also received a suspicious package on wednesday president donald trump condemned the attempted attacks as despicable but in the last few minutes he's been tweeting blaming society's anger on the media saying that the media must clean up its act fast former malaysia's prime minister najib razak and his top treasury boss of facing new charges in a widening crackdown on corruption both men pleaded not guilty to six charges relating to the losing of more than one and a half billion dollars from a government investment fund is the headlines the news continues here on here after inside story next. saudi arabia pressured into providing more answers about the killing of demands for children but it's the global response tough enough to get those answers what kind of political and economic interests all swaying the decision makers this is inside story. hello and welcome to the show i'm sami's a than outrage condemnation and diplomatic action escalating worldwide the killing of saudi journalists shoji continues provoke reaction he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second since then the world has been gripped by counts of what really happened the mystery first unfolded through leaks by turkish investigative reports emerged about a saudi hit squad killing and dismembering the journalist allegedly on the orders of the crown prince mohammed bin sound man after two weeks of saudi denials they eventually admitted do was mistakenly killed during a brawl in the consulate and they denied any involvement by the crown prince denials met with widespread skepticism turkey's president has confirmed what he called a savage premeditated murder budget towboat of the one has called for an independent investigation that holds any saudi accountable from top to bottom and is calling on the kingdom to provide specially out who gave the order to murder cultural g. and way his body remains are. let's have a look at how world leaders have reacted so far the message from the united states has changed significantly the u.s. is now adopting a more negative stance towards the kingdom and first on transcend the saudi explanation was credible he stressed the importance of relations with his saudi allies and said millions of american jobs were more important than imposing sanctions well now the president says the saudis are guilty of the worst cover up ever germany has stopped saudi weapons deals chancellor angela merkel has joined other european countries in calling for a credible investigation the g seven which includes japan canada and the u.s. condemned the killing in the strongest possible terms francis spending all diplomatic visits to the kingdom other countries and business leaders boycotted a major investment conference in riyadh but leaders in the arab world have varied from silence to welcoming the steps taken by the saudis. let's bring in our panel joining us in the show in washington d.c. we have more in a bally senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies in istanbul cyrano again chairman of the center for economic and foreign policy studies and also in washington d.c. georgia o'keeffe yarrow the c.e.o. of gulf state analytics welcome to you all if i could start with more in our human rights considerations starting perhaps perhaps more into win over in calculations of self interest now that we've seen for example the u.s. is that starting to take some initial measures like cancelling visas of people it believes may be linked to the job killing. i think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that the united states or some of these european governments of suddenly discover the importance of human rights in the middle east i think what's really happened here is is that the result of pressure and the constant leaks and so on have forced them into a corner and they have had to act i mean i think the operative principle for these governments is that they can't let the dismembered body of a saudi journalist get in the way of more important things like selling arms to riyadh to complete the obliteration of of yemen and to. renew conflict with iran and to consolidate israeli occupation over policy and so on but i think what's happened in this political context they have felt compelled to take some measures whether they're going to be merely symbolic or more substantive is something we'll have to see over the long run but you know there is a history here of seventy years of western policy one of whose operative principles is to prevent the peoples of the middle east from controlling their own destiny and i think if you were to ask anyone in the region whether they think western and particularly american policy has been driven by any consideration of human rights they're liable to die laughing and before they can answer your question let me jump in here because we have been hearing some words along those lines from angola merkel the german chancellor let's listen in to what she's been saying about her concern for human rights. i mean the oldest and cons a lot pursued this is what happened in the saudi consulate is inconceivable it reflects that human dignity isn't respected in many parts of the world some treaties are now being cancelled and reversed which again prompts us to work more for world peace we must find solutions we must strive to preserve europe together because it's a society based on shared values and we must not lose sight of our gains we must continue to fight for the payments of seven decades of pace. in light of things like that let me take that scene and there are some world leaders you know really shocked has this killing really shocked some world leaders and perhaps beginning to think about how we should all really value human rights would seem to be diminishing. it certainly has shocked. the nature of the crime itself is very shocking but also the fact that it took place. at the compound of a diplomatic representation is also a by our president and. now we have seen the reactions will leave as well as a juror. who is prime. and i think the turkish strategy here which has been to also gradually share with international public opinion some of the evidence. has also allowed. the nurturing of international pressure for western governments to start to react more strongly you have. indeed for instance the german ship and south america has reacted to this two days ago there that germany was suspending arms and it with saudi arabia. it took more than two weeks for germany to part of that stance. i think the same can be said with regard to the u.s. administration and even their much less has happened in terms of the reaction for reasons that we know well namely the relationship between u.s. president trump and the crown prince mohammed bin samana and but also the fact that with the trumpet ministration the u.s. had decided to invest much more heavily this relationship with saudi arabia and form. who that was on the contained strategy towards iraq so their horse the reasons why the reaction is not menstruate with the gravity of the crime and the up holding of human rights. but we're still and you aren't changing the u.s. position over the last two or three weeks right at least the white house position. yes but still no clear impact. on the relationship with saudi so far we have seen you know our location lol. statements coming from the white house some negative some lessening it. but nothing so far or they said they started to revoke their visas that's tangible there's no. sorry could be that yeah they said they've started to revoke visas that's tangible isn't it yes but not to you know a way that would impact the power structure in riyadh is it ok let's bring georgia into the discussion so do you think i told georgia that the killing might become a turning point in human rights accountability in saudi arabia i'm pretty skeptical right now i think that for the trump administration this comes as a huge political headache right before the united states is midterm elections next month saudi arabia has of course becoming a domestic issue in the united states right now. becoming a big liability for the trumpet ministration especially with more in the media paying attention to the special relationship between christian are and. are in the crown prince of saudi arabia mohamed bin so man but to get to your question you know we're seeing some rhetoric from the white house that might seem odd from the standpoint of those who want the kingdom to be held accountable but i don't think there is going to be a real push from this in ministration on saudi arabia to change its positions on issues concerning human rights i think more pressure will probably come from u.s. lawmakers but how is this going to pan out on the ground in saudi arabia how is it going to change the way in which the kingdom is being ruled today i'm pretty skeptical about any major changes coming as a result of this very ugly case. glad you mentioned the congress though will pick up on that point in a second but let me take this thought back to sin and briefly remind us what's at stake in terms of standards of governance in this region as a whole depending on how internationalized this affair in terms of accountability goes. well i mean this is really an off romps if you want to speak in moral philosophy terms this is an affront to human dignity and therefore there needs to be a strong reaction showing where walk the red lines of the international community is and that's generally what's expected however can we think that even if we were to see a strong reaction from one community while hoping or overall impact of this whether this you know this incident will be glossed over and you know go back to business as usual in the foreseeable future or whether we can expect to see some change in behavior some real accountability. that remains an open question ok let me take this thought to my name for the first time we've had the u.s. president in the catering in a interview that the saudi crown prince might be responsible for such objects killing why what's tough and what changed his stance. when when you're talking about presidents from you're really talking about a volatile airhead who's kind of all over the map and therefore i find it very difficult to take anything he says seriously particularly because he tends to take you know every side of an issue in the space of a day and sometimes. an hour i think i think what's really at stake here is i believe there is a solid u.s. and for that matter european consensus about the need to continue propping up the saudi regime as with. other repressive regimes in the region and i think the question people are asking themselves is whether this impulsive reckless. volatile crown prince mohammed bin. service that strategic objective or rather forms an obstacle to it and within the united states for example it's it's been pretty clear for some time that the professionals if you will in the state department and the cia and in the defense of establishment have their reservations about muhammad been sent down from the very outset but what you had with. the coming of the trumpet ministration as a saudi american relations have become almost a function of a personal relationship between the president's son in law jared questioner and crown prince mohammed bin send money and i think what we may be seeing now at least here in the united states is an attempt by the professionals to reclaim a role in that relationship now this is complicated because in the meantime mohammed bin seven has managed to establish absolute and bra. old power and to you as a man is to weaken. and the alternative power centers whether other branches of the family or or of the security forces and so on and so i think this is going to go on . for some time and even if you know there is basically i would say muhammad than some future is now in the hands of the trump administrator and ok that i think the america that is holding point let me let me take that thought back to joe joe so if we're seeing the white house dog put something of a question mark over mohammed bin sandman what does that mean for the crown prince it seems that if more and more people in america come to the conclusion that m.d.'s played some sort of a role in the murder of the washington post contributor its crown prince may become the next king of saudi arabia is going to be seen as increasingly toxic in washington since he began his ascendancy to the palace m.b.'s in those around him have made major investments in the u.s. and other western countries trying to attract foreign investment for his vision twenty thirty reform agenda has tried to obtain a lot of goodwill in washington those efforts now suffered the question is if the reversal is if this can be reversed or not this negative direction it's going to be very well do you think you can cult for m.b.a.'s to regain the goodwill you know in the past. there have been so many issues that cause tension between the u.s. and saudi arabia between other countries and saudi arabia but over time those issues seem to sort of escape the spotlight and relations always went back to business as usual surely the saudis want that right now but given how much outrage there is in washington i think it's going to be a long time before people stop talking about souls are different this time is how many international players there are on this issue not least of which of course turkey sit down do you think turkey wants to see the accountability reach mohamed bin sound man's doorstep at this point. assuredly i don't think that that the church presence objective. that is also the reason why out there is the pressure. are going on the turkish side of gradually the reason why that is gradual is because president iran's also aware of the difficulties that this incident has caused to. u.s. presidents and just as the charity u.s. relationship is. slowly movie out on that one to create yet another serious difficulty for trump before the midterms so this is the final balancing act that he has to save you know and a consideration on the one hand he wants to build up pressures that eventually the moment when someone is held accountable but at the same time also wants to provide a face saving formula for trump give you a hard or that relationship is trump gerri question there and then yes i wonder maureen if you think listening to what's in and saying there whether you think donald trump may already be finding that face saving solution to allow perhaps harder measures against saudi arabia when he said kill leave it mostly up to congress to decide what to do next surely he knows full well that the sentiment in congress monks most senators bipartisan is to go for sanctions against saudi arabia yes but you know you can you can have sanctions that amount to a slap on the wrist or you can have a meaningful change of policy and i know senator mccain wanted something more than a slap on the wrist at this point. well that's what they're saying now you know look give the lobbyist some time to spring into action and they may and the being less enthusiastic and also what kind of sanctions are they proposing for example should the united states cease to so what the ins to saudi arabia that would obviously be good news for yemen for example but wouldn't necessarily affect the power dynamic and you know as with so many arab regimes. the legitimacy of an arab regime is not determined by the support of its own people they can survive quite well without the support of their own people the only real test of their longevity is whether western governments are prepared to continue propping them up and that i think is is the key key issue here and again we're not talking about regime change in riyadh we're really talking about. the future of one player in that power structure and whether mohamed been sent will be allowed to continue exercising playing the role he has monopolizing power the way he has sent to the throne and remain on that throne for perhaps decades and given the type of decisions he's been taking i think there are growing misgivings in the west. about keeping him on board for perhaps decades to come and there are second thoughts now whether this stage it's. going to be a simple matter to have replaced or not is i think an entirely different set of questions joe joe what impact would any level of tough action from congress have do you think on riyadh. i think that if the u.s. government is going to take actions against saudi arabia what we can expect is an acceleration of a trend that began years and years ago and that is the saudi arabians making a geo economic shift eastward what we're seeing from this current conference in saudi arabia that's ongoing right now is. sort of a stepped up presence of russian chinese and other eastern investors in the kingdom in many countries in the east there is less of a political price for the leadership to pay it seen as being very close to a regime like saudis on and so i think saudi arabia is going to try to become more autonomy is from the united states and europe and its eyes are going to be on moscow and beijing relies heavily on the u.s. for its defense mechanism and strategy though doesn't it say i'm. yes indeed and i think just a full on that call is conspicuous you know way that so far the statements coming out of moscow has have been very useful we have not heard any no criticism from mosco is you know and since they were essentially white courses and protective riyadh's inches so i think when we talk about the reaction to what happened when long to national community maybe we should be a bit more nuanced that the real reaction is from the west we have immediacy and used strong reaction from other countries like russia or china and that ultimately may also be a continuation calculus is the up. how real is this scenario do you think of saudi arabia using perhaps its oil cod to kind of mute any consideration of strong sanctions or actions against it i think it's extremely unlikely. because what saudi arabia needs now more than anything is a strengthening of its relations with the west and particularly with the trumpet ministration secondly saudi arabia is very heavily invested in and along with israel and the trumpet ministration and seeking to increase tensions and pursue a strategy of regime change in iran and so the last thing it will want to do is to take measures that will raise the price of oil above and beyond what the removal of iranian oil from from the market would cause so i think it's extremely unlikely and also you know bear in mind the context saudi arabia is now under a significant reputational pressure if you will and if it responds to this by playing the oil card you know trying to wreak havoc in an energy markets and so on that's going to reflect very negatively on the men particularly on the and individual who everyone sees as effectively functioning as a sole decision maker and these days all right i think we are going to have to end the discussion there because we're running out of time in a good discussion let's thank our guests though joe joe coffey out of siena gun

arabia's public prosecutor's office says it's investigating jamal a short stories as a case of premeditated murder based on information received from turkey saudi arabia has given various accounts of the apparent murder over the past three weeks alan fisher has the latest now from istanbul. the big question for investigators of course now is where is the body of jamal khashoggi they have checked in many places including round at the consulate residence just a short walk from here and we're expecting search teams to return there in the coming days to look at a well which was tested of the water and it was tested certainly during the first search but no they want to send people down into the well itself to realize any possibility that body parts or democracy should do body itself is actually there but turkish foreign minister has reiterated that anyone involved in the killing must be tried in turkey level of turkey shared information on the case with the interested parties a much stronger market there is no indication that we will escalate this to the international court at this time but if it is escalated there is no doubt that turkey would share any information we have. ethiopia has its first female president sally words wardle been appointed by the parliament days after the prime minister approved an equal number of male and female government ministers she is a career diplomat and will leave her role with the united nations to take office so deli lama is editor in chief of the magazine at this standard she says even though the role is largely ceremonial the president has potential to lead reform. ambassadors how they work has. very extensive experience in being a diplomat and serving your country as a diplomat first and or so moving into separate post as was in the united nations. her last one was in nairobi and i know i'm sorry her last one the one that she just resigned from was the representative u.n. secretary general to the african union so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as a as a carrier diplomats in the past. you know many seats largely ceremonial by the course of two should it is also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is their prisoner shana's office that that motion every fiscal year two boys houses the opera and there are houses. being you know i was the guy the guidance of the government's activities for in coming years so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech to smaller meeting i also gathered that the presidencies of these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say police in the united states have been responding to reports of a suspicious package in new york city it's not yet known it was linked to mail bombs that were sent to leading democrats including former presidents barack obama bill clinton and his wife hillary clinton c.n.n.

side of brazil well down toward the southeast in kona somewhat whether they're still in place for parikh why south of that it is generally fine and dry but to sarasota around twenty degrees celsius we'll see temperatures in santiago around twenty three further north will pass twelve degrees push across into the northeast of brazil we could do some rain here in the states right as because through the next few days in places say it's now a good deal drive across mexico now that a hurricane has made its way to the way that's hard to win over of course so clear skies coming back and across much of central america mexico itself generally settled and quiet as we go through the next day or two as is the case to cost a great round to this still a few showers over towards the lesser antilles but more in the west sunshine than showers but whether they're just pushing over towards the western side of the caribbean now well in the case of what we are looking at that cloud driving its way across

sponsored by cattle and peace. with. them. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter wu watching the news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes saudi prosecutors now say they're investigating the killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi as premeditated murder . making history in ethiopia the country now boasts its first female president. suspicious packages high profile targets and now the blame game investigators in the u.s. searching for clues to find out who's behind a series of suspected mailbox. i have come. to the. also this hour will be in malta where theater is helping address a sensitive controversial issue on the island. the public prosecutor's office in saudi arabia says it's investigating the killing of jamal khashoggi as a case of premeditated murder based on information received from turkish investigators the saudis have given various accounts over the past three weeks including that ashaji died accidentally when he was put into a choke hold during a fistfight now members of. european parliament passed a motion calling on e.u. states to stop selling arms to riyadh that follows the introduction of a bill by u.s. congress members aimed at banning most arms sales to saudi arabia the bipartisan group led by a senior democrat is demanding an end to military cooperation unless it's proved saudi leaders did not order the shorts g.'s killing after two days in turkey the head of the cia gina housefull is headed back to washington to brief the white house u.s. media saying as has paul heard a recording of her shoulders killing inside the saudi consulate in istanbul has cross live now to charles stratford's who is there for us outside the consulate building in istanbul so charles as far as the investigation is concerned this idea of the saudis saying it's premeditated murder as far as they're concerned as well how much symmetry does that give between the i guess the parallel investigations. i think we have to be careful here peter certainly according to the statement was released the saudi press agency d.s.p. a statement said to the public prosecution had received information from the turkish side through the joint working. and saudi team that indicates that suspects in the incidents had committed see the act wheats pre made its eighty eight intention it's safe to say that this is the first time that there has been any indication from the saudi side that this may have been made it's eighty eight. which of course indicates mud. but of course we have heard from the side now for a number of days that certainly according to the president or to want in the speech to his policy members will choose day he said to the side of the investigation again had he indicated that the savage act was indeed but. all indications suggest once again it seems as if the saudis are face saving would be too strong a word but also certainly moving in the direction of the language that the turks now have been using full a number of days. let's not forget that the saudis have changed the narrative time and time again since this crisis began initially calling these allegations to show she was killed inside the embassy as base the slice then we had them saying that he died as a result of a fistfight when he entered the consulate is then we had. he was he died because he was strangled was choked to death because a fighter didn't shoot off because she went teen and he started screaming again implying some sort of accident so. you know as i say we heard different stories coming from the saudi arabian side. diversity and before that for days now but it's safe to say that this is the first indication seemingly that the saudis are beginning to to to listen to what the turks have and are beginning to use the same sort of language that indicates that indeed khashoggi was murdered inside the consulate and the investigators still talking to each other in the way that mr. yoo this time yesterday we were discussing how he spoke to the crown prince. it's certainly difficult to say at the moment we've had these these leaks now from turkish government sources for days we don't know exactly what else the turks have we know that there is this old recording transcripts some of this audiotape recording has been transcripts and leaked to the media in recent days the investigation is ongoing we know about this investigative team that we've been the it's expecting since yesterday to come and have a look at this well at the consul general zone the reason why they were denied access to that well in any kind of star of fashion during the initial westgate and we could go as we understand it because the the saudi side of the team did not. did not recognize the names of those that were going to do this in depth analysis of the well if they weren't on the list during that stage that side of the investigation is still waiting it seems as if that's you know as they said they would you know they're not leaving any stone on covered we understand that there was a wall to softball taken from that well of the initial investigation but this is going to be a lot more. i mean to the big of the cease from everywhere at the moment in terms of this investigation going forward is way is the balti interestingly the turkish foreign minister earlier today again putting great emphasis on that and putting more pressure on the saudis by saying the question why was it that these eighteen people have been arrested in saudi arabia suggesting that maybe the sharing of information here is not this is not as great as noticed as as some people are implying with respect to potentially taking the same vest a geisha and to an international level this is what the turkish foreign minister had to say. i'm sure under the market there was no indication that we will escalate this to the international court at this time but if it is escalated there is no doubt that turkey would share any information that you have. ok let's talk to a bessemer more money she's a professor of political science at the university of waterloo she joins us on skype from ottawa best mony with this line of premeditation coming out of saudi arabia that's clearly very significant do you sense that the two narratives are beginning to converge now they certainly are and i think that's a really important point this convergence i think is a sign of a lot of backroom negotiations between the saudis the turks and the americans i mean simply put everybody needs to get on the same story of course there are a lot of missing details in here which is really who's culpable for this if this was premeditated how far up the chain of command did this go one thing that i want to point out that's really quite interesting is that we know there are fifteen suspects who came to turkey for this operation three in addition that were on the ground so that's eighteen the americans have put sanctions our visa restrictions on twenty five who are the others i think that's a really interesting question because of course as this goes further the american intelligence are it's effectively suggesting that there are more people in the operation justice is going to be a function of truth if these two narratives come together it may not be the truth of what actually happens civil justice be served here or not do we think all will political expediency and financial desire kick in. i'm afraid to say it's the latter i mean in the day saudi arabia is a very important economy in the world yes haven't been so minus certainly been critiqued in the west but at the end the day many people want to do business with saudi arabia particularly on the arms sales continue to oil supply in the face of less than two weeks away we have oil sanctions coming in on the rand that it's going to basically take out an enormous supplier and so frankly the structural factors of what saudi woman brings to the world economy is so important but i just don't see how the west is going to really deliver the justice that it deserves and rather than i think they will really lean towards the political expediency and when we talk about political expediency we've got a real exercise in politics just around the corner we've got the u.s. midterm elections november the sixth a very very close as in that context for the trumpet ministration is mr trump being pushed on what are you going to do so when he was asked those or could questions up until four or five days ago because he had a lot of work to put up with would he really rather be able to dismiss those questions as being an unnecessary imposed detour on him because he wants to be talking about other stuff. he definitely want to be talking about other things in particular i mean this his claim of course it's a false claim one hundred ten billion dollar arms deal that it was saudi arabia that it's bringing in thousands and thousands of jobs i mean we can dispute the numbers but he believes that narrative and more importantly his base believes that narrative and he wants to go on the campaign trail and suggest that he's brought all of these economic benefits remember that's what he has been campaigning on from the beginning of his presidency and you can see he's trying to shift the narrative already he's trying to talk about the migrant caravette he's trying to talk about the divisiveness in u.s. politics of course those awful bomb threats are going to add to that pressure on trump to basically address that so there is an attempt i believe from the republican side to want to pivot away from this issue because it's not an issue that resonates among his base and it frankly diverts away attention from his great deal making that he has professed from day one best with money. thank you thank you well as we've been mentioning a little earlier several members of the u.s. congress have introduced new legislation to stop arms sales and aid to saudi arabia scott lucas is a professor of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham he says the sponsors of the bill will be looking for more bankers to push it through congress. to actually stop what was last year's hundred ten billion dollar arms deal i don't think congress should go that far what is more likely to happen is that individual congressman like committee chairman can stop individual small items so for example there's been a hole placed on five hundred million dollars of munitions this year and i think you'll see though symbolic actions limited actions from congress rather than a sweeping ban on arms sales and to be honest i think the lead right now is not coming from the us i think it is still with turkey if turkey continues to bring up new evidence if there are questions about journal show she's body and if the saudis are appearing to block that body from coming to light then you might have more congressmen coming on board but right now the focus of the u.s. congress of course for the next two weeks is still on the elections then you've got a couple of months before the new congress takes its places so i really think that at this point although this is a limited symbolic message to donald trump it's not what you would call a groundswell of opposition right now let's move on some of the top stories for you if he if he has a new president and the first time it's a woman. isolated works out day to day when i started my work as ethiopian federal democratic president i found to fulfill my duty faithfully. well sunny words a day will replace similar to shashi in the war to resign on weapons takes office as part of a wider reshuffle by the prime minister. she is a career diplomat and will leave her role as the u.n. special representative to the african union to become president well her appointment is just the latest in a series of changes under the new prime minister most significantly he's reached a deal with neighboring eritrea to restore diplomatic on trade ties that ended a twenty year long border conflict that had been the source of major tensions across the region and he became prime minister in april at forty one he is the country's youngest leader he's also appointed the first female defense minister to be part of a cabinet that has the same number of women as men under his leadership jailed opposition politicians and journalists have been freed but all has not been perfect he has had to handle large protests in a row that's the country's biggest province he sent federal troops to the area last month in an effort to stem increasing bylines against minority groups that dilemma is the editor in chief of the atis standard magazine she says even though the role is largely ceremonial the president still has potential to lead reform. ambassadors how they work has. very extensive experience in being a diplomat serving your country as a deferment first and also moving into a separate post this was in the united nations. her last one was in nairobi and i know i'm sorry her last one the one that she just resigned from was the representative for the u.n. secretary general to the african union so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as a. diplomat in the past. you know many saying it's largely ceremonial by the course to shoot it he's also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is the prisoner shyness that motion every fiscal year two boys houses the after and there are houses. you know the guy the guidance of the government's activities for it can be yours so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech this morning i also gathered that the president sees all these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say. lots more news still to come here on the news hour for you including an airstrike on a vegetable factory in yemen commanders of the saudi and iraqi coalition are investigating what happened. i stress that atrocities continue to take place today also ahead prosecute the top generals and me and the u.n. warns of the continuing genocide against the writing. and the sports the l.a. dodgers have amounted to times the red sox take a two game lead in the world series son i will have the details in about thirty minutes. in saudi an iraqi led coalition in yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a farmer's market not to say twenty one people were killed in weapons to night's attack dog such a body as the latest the latest victims of the war in yemen workers at a vegetable packing factory in the town of beit that's still by me of i mean this is where they wash the vegetables this is where they were washing the okra okra for god's sake look. so they can sell it in the markets there just workers. the saudi emirates he led coalition had sent reinforcements tanks and armored vehicles to the port city of a data before wednesday night's attack pro-government forces have been trying to recapture the city from who the rebels since have renewed offensive in september. doctors and people who live in the area say they don't know what the intended target was but it's not uncommon for coalition warplanes to hit civilian targets some images too gruesome to show a child once again among the victims another one. this man survived bloodied but shocked by what happened. well the that and now that we were cleaning dirt off the okra batch and then the plane above us struck we're only doing our job. since the war began in two thousand and fifteen coalition forces have hit wedding parties funerals residential homes hospitals and a school bus they often blame who's the rebels accusing them of using civilians as human shields as international pressure grows for an end to the war the casualty figures continue to rise dorsetshire bari al-jazeera. bomb squad experts in the us are today investigating suspicious packages addressed the former vice president joe biden and the actor robert de niro it's not known if they're linked to mail bombs delivered to leading democrats and c.n.n. on weapons day president donald trump a nationally condemn the attempted attacks as despicable political violence but he has recently been on twitter blaming the media for stoking anger more now from kimberly hellcat in washington kimberly what we're talking about seven eight nine devices potentially now. yeah well there hasn't been a confirmed link certainly there is the conclusion of this being drawn by the media as its reporting on this story given the fact that all of these targets have been either democratic officials in some form or fashion or in the case of robert a critic of donald trump and also a very much a supporter of democratic causes so now there is this package that has been found this is certainly something that many people say stems from the conflict in the political discourse in this country that it's deeply divided in fact this is something that donald trump taking to twitter early on thursday morning is also speculating but pointing the finger at the mainstream media for the anger much of it that exists now certainly this is something that the president has also been criticized about well he has condemned these latest acts of violence as he did so when he spoke on wednesday evening at a political rally certainly many believe that it is the president that ultimately has the responsibility to set the tone something that many rallies he has not done in the past according to his critics christian salumi reports. one of the packages was addressed barack obama in washington d.c. it was discovered on wednesday morning the night before a package was discovered addressed to hillary clinton's residence in upstate new york both devices were intercepted during routine security screenings at a rally in florida clinton expressed her gratitude we are fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service. who intercepted. the package addressed to us long before it me its way to our home a third device addressed to former cia director john brennan did reach c.n.n. studios in new york that led to an evacuation of the time warner center including the anchors who were broadcasting at the time all three packages. reported to have contained explosives and shards of glass as did others discovered in florida and los angeles the ongoing investigation didn't stop president trump or thousands of his supporters from attending a rally in this concert. the president addressed the attempted attacks first then any actual address of political violence are to attack on our democracy itself. no nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation coersion or control we all know that it was an uncharacteristically conciliatory tone for the president compared to rallies past democratic leaders have accused the president of selling violence at rallies like this whether it's praising a congressman body slammed a reporter for encouraging supporters who attack protesters but supporters here see things very differently you know strong rhetoric on the left as generating on the. right. i don't know i don't blame from for that the senior democrats and just left the fanatics take over the party i used to have democratic friends and we would discuss things can do that and i think we're going through a period of time right now but i don't think it's going to last so i don't really blame anybody specifically no blame for the president from this crowd of loyal supporters but then it's those middle of the road swing voters who could make the difference in two weeks' time kristen salumi al jazeera mohseni wisconsin. complete have we seen anything like this before. in terms of the political division is certainly is intense to say the least with thirteen days before the u.s. election but in terms of this sort of male plot to stoke fears in ordinary americans we have sadly seen this before two thousand and one in fact i can remember covering the fact that there were packages addressed to there were letters actually addressed laced with anthrax spores that were sent to not only media outlets but also to two democratic senators and at that time it shut down the house of representatives there were three senate offices that were closed thirty one people were exposed five people died and they were postal workers who were exposed to this because there weren't the sort of screening that we now have the high level screening that we now have in the united states so this is the incident that led to the screening that we're now seeing that intercepting these now nine packages that have been sent to democratic figures in the united states this is why we've not only seen them not detonated this time but also the fact that so far there is nobody who has fallen ill or has been killed it's as a result of this incident that took place almost twenty years ago and has led to these high level screenings that certainly have stopped potential attacks from from harming people but certainly have not stopped the political divide that remains in this country understood kimberly many thanks you know investigators say genocide is continuing to be inflicted. in myanmar around three quarters of a million fled to bangladesh to escape a military crackdown last year a u.n. fact finding missions as muslims who didn't leave are suffering severe restrictions and repression if you want to go to james bays. i think it was the meeting they tried to stop russia china and bolivia voting to attempt to block a briefing by the un zone fact finding mission on myanmar china said it was an internal issue here were even though over seven hundred thousand people fled the country into bangladesh to escape the violence russia said the report of the mission was biased and unreliable even though it runs to four hundred forty pages of searing testimony as the security council veto doesn't apply to procedural matters the chairman of the fact finding mission was eventually able to give his damning conclusions our report characterizes the recent events in iraq one thing as a human catastrophe that was foreseeable and plan one that will have severe impact well many generations to come if not for ever. the details of the report clearly had an impact on some i never thought in my diplomatic career that i would hear as briefing to the security council as compelling detail being such awful treatment of peoples as we have today the u.k. was one of the european countries suggesting the situation be referred to the international criminal court that won't happen because in that case a security council veto could and almost certainly would be used bart an investigation into the crime of forced expulsion is a possibility because the country so many people fled to bangladesh has signed up to the court's jurisdiction james pays zero at the united nations

people you know investors looking to business they're just not always up to the highest level as they were last year and it's clear from talking to many of them that some of them are frustrated that their c.e.o.'s and their top executives are pulled out also missing from the summit was senior politicians from mainly western countries who withdrew his outrage over his murder group but there were plenty of others who did attend perhaps not as easily able to resist the financial clout of the world's biggest oil producer there were government delegations from china russia and african and middle

president crazy and an extremist op to mike pence accuse nicolas maduro of funding the mass march of migrants in mexico thousands began their margin on jurist to walk to the united states they say they're hoping for a better life to escape poverty and gang violence donald trump is vowing they'll be stopped from entering. a moment in the hall you want to see that the man see dead this caravan is being financed by venezuela by president nicolas maduro and it nineteen to the security and defeats of the united states i don't know why the fisting it causes is laughter and the second is can soon because the imperialist paranoia begins to accuse president maduro and been as well or of interesting that happens to them well the caravan has become a dominant issue in campaigning for the midterm elections in two weeks' time john holdren reports now from chiapas in southern mexico. they resumed their trek at four in the morning trying to make some headway before the baking midday sun even then it was hard work several thousand men women and children dispersed in a long exhausted trail their goal is to reach the united states a country where they've now become a political football in a bitter election race. with the little they can. take your camera and search. started going to take you john take your camera go into the middle and there you're going to find emissary you're going to find middle eastern you're going to find everything and guess what we're not allowed to them in our cars we want to say. too much the week with the caravan al-jazeera didn't find anyone from the middle east north terrorists or isis all of which president trump has hinted at without proof what we have seen a single men women and many families like that of one half year old to say oh taking a breather by the side of the road with her father and aunt they like others here are aware of donald trump's accusations isn't beat up it's a lie that's your first reaction you feel bad about the discrimination because bin that gang members. but what many in the caravan aunts aware of is that the timing of their march could actually turn into a huge political gift for the u.s. president the caravan has inadvertently come it's just the right moment for president trump and the republican party and that's because the u.s. midterm elections just two weeks away and the images of the all zones of people heading for the u.s. border coupled with president trump's inflammatory and unproven remarks are only going to mobilize his support. the one we talked to denied that some criminals could be mixed in with the multitude it's almost inevitable given the numbers here but they also said that they were heading to the u.s. to escape the violence on poverty of back home and to find work that's not been the most we asked to be let through so that we can offer a better future for our children our parents who are already old and our families. ultimately the backlash in the us to this movement of thousands of desperate people could push that dream even further out of reach for them and those who come off the john home and how does it a chance to know the former malaysian prime minister najib around sack and his top treasury balsa facing new charges in a whitening crackdown on corruption both men pleaded not guilty to six charges relating to the looting of more than one and a half

order in the history of south africa more than one hundred thirty million dollars stolen from the b.b.s. mutual bank leading to its collapse south africa's finance minister has suggested the bank can be saved but if it isn't it's the poor will end up paying the ultimate price for me to miller as more from the pope who province in the north. corrupt and beyond saving that's the final word in a reserve bank report on the theft of more than one hundred and thirty million dollars at south africa's v b s mutual bank the only black owned bank in limpopo province it was supposed to have been a vehicle for empowerment but instead it was looted beer allegedly by more than fifty people from bank executives to politicians some from within the ruling african national congress nor out on the plus why is one of ninety four employees who's been laid off because the bank has no will money to come but. i'm still shocked i don't have a job now i'm very disappointed because they still haven't explained to us exactly what happened but all we know is we don't have a job at least some were douses she deposited her life savings of almost thirty thousand dollars at the bank the money was meant to pay for her children's education she's only managed to get a quarter of it back it would be better if i know my children cannot even go to school because of all the money i have lost. it's also alleged that political influences convince local municipalities to deposit billions of dollars at the bank which is against regulations some of those implicated have said they'll pay back the money if they have to others have promised legal action for defamation or some f. for the report a lie a political thought but for many south africans they are and answered questions about how such looting was allowed to happen at an institution that was meant to serve them. the bank is accused of granting any regular loan of more than a half a million dollars to former president jacob zuma and transferring more than a million dollars to the brother of this man. the deputy president of the opposition party the economic freedom fighters the party and both men have denied any involvement an idea of bribery corruption has become part of the south african culture. so the mess that is going on in secular studies in v.b. as it solidifies of the thinking on the part of ordinary south africans that feel mean and corruption is normal government figures last year showed corruption cost the economy almost two billion dollars a year and more than seventy thousand jobs but for people like lisa this is about more than just numbers it's about the loss of her children's future for al-jazeera limpopo province of africa. the biggest nato war games since the one nine hundred eighty s. are beginning in norway troops from thirty one countries have weeks of military exercises ahead of them a month after russian and chinese forces at their largest joint drills alex for topless reports now from trondheim. they've been arriving in norway since august for the biggest exercises nato has role since the end of the cold war soldiers from every nato country plus finland and sweden are hit to train for the. next were called trident juncture the maneuvers take place across most of scandinavia involving fifty thousand troops two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five naval ships including the harry s. truman aircraft carrier and ten thousand military vehicles the exercises come at a time when they alliance is facing fierce criticism from an american administration that is frustrated with fellow members it says are not pulling their weight i think that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing a lot of the countries and we were doing much more than we should have been doing frankly we were carrying too much of a burden that's why we call it burden sharing president trump was especially critical of germany but the senior nato partners the wargames biggest contributor with eight thousand of its troops participating. in these high visibility exercises are not just about training they're designed to bolster nervous alliance members especially those bordering russia the host nation for the war games norway is considered a core part of the northern norm of nato it shares two hundred kilometers worth of border with russia and as it defended itself in the past norway trained no to defend itself in the future. and with good reason russia held to huge military wargames over the last two years zap out all west in two thousand and seventeen and vostok or east earlier this year involving three hundred thousand soldiers the wolfing nato is current exercise. with this pressure on the alliance at a time of rising regional geopolitical tension nato is nervous allies will be looking to try conjuncture for reassurance. malta is now the only country in the european union with a total ban on abortion despite being liberal in many ways this predominantly catholic island in the mediterranean maintains a hard line on the issue however as need barker explains from the capital letter a multi as playwrights is challenging the law in his first play to discuss the subject openly. you get to pray for the sort of day in rehearsal the cast of a new play called determining. if each is seven characters male and female or based on interviews with people on both sides of the piece abortion debate. but he. writes to. the writer hopes theater will help tackle a subject if you are willing to discuss in public this is the most delicate subject and. nothing else we discuss politics we discuss migration we get hot on the collar where it comes to abortion we simply don't discuss it it's you know there are no shades of gray it's black and white. not her real name travel to the u.k. for an abortion following an unplanned pregnancy the only people when you are to try to have made best friends how aware are you of other women in similar situations or who have gone through similar things here in malta so many. six. of. it's probably much more common than we think paolo was able to borrow money to pay for her abortion others don't have a choice despite the human rights groups say the islands abortion rates are no different to countries where it's legal pretty much in the average us the rest of the world it's just a matter of it's just because it's utter bull. and that was another issue reason as to why we feel that this needs to be because women should not continue living in shaking and fear despite malta strict stance on abortion in recent years there have been a series of seismic social and cultural changes here divorce was legalized in two thousand and eleven rights equivalent to marriage had been given to gay couples and contraception is no longer frowned upon but when it comes to abortion there are ethical and. moral reservations that have an awful lot to do with tradition and religious beliefs. ninety eight percent of multis are roman catholics the church prohibits abortion many are devout believers such as the island's former finance minister we see fundamentally the child in the name of our mother as a human being a fully human being that needs to be respected there is something ingrained in the maltese population that value life from the from the real beginning from conception multi societies undergone major change in recent years but abortion remains to blue too sensitive a subject for successive governments to risk losing votes over or even openly discuss i have come. to be clear this play is attempting to widen the debate beyond the stage. for letter malta ok let's bring you more on those needs a war games which were underway in norway alex kostopoulos joins us live from trondheim where they're taking place alex what events did the kick off the day with today today it's a three part series of exercises starting with the army the ground based elements so obviously we have military training for river crossings of the salt. battles in the skies above most of it we have naval exercises in the surrounding sea involving a craft area the harry s. truman the games happening at a time when world leaders are concerned about russia violating standing agreements how does that factor in to the thinking behind the games today. well it's an interesting thing the intermediate nuclear forces treaty which you're referring is a product of the cold war as is nato indeed this was a bilateral treaty signed by america with then the soviet union as a confidence building measure to try and stop nuclear war to make sure that one side couldn't sneak up on the other with missiles with a very short flying time a very short range hence its name. both sides of use cruise missiles in conventional conflict the americans obscene gulf war one and two and since then and the russians recently in the conflict in syria. but now we're talking about land based missiles and these are very very different things as well. as deployed in kaliningrad which makes the surrounding neighbors in eastern europe very very nervous and these things here these war games it is a confidence building measures for the alliance as partners to show. there is a collective security and they will be protected in the event of a future conflict alex thanks very much. still to come here on the news in the. championship speak in doha with the u.s. . in the way sun is next with the details on the other side of this break. filmmaker from ukraine who serving a twenty a prison sentence in russia for opposing the annexation of crimea has won a major prize for defending human rights and fundamental freedoms the european parliament awarded this prize two cents off he says russian security services tortured him into confessing to terrorism three years ago the kremlin critic was on hunger strike for one hundred forty five days earlier this year. by awarding him this prize the european parliament is expressing its solidarity with him and his calls we demand that all exempt soft who was arrested in twenty four team and sentenced to twenty years in prison immediately released. thank you very much pito always thought with the world series where the boston red sox have taken a two game made over the los angeles dodgers and if history is anything to go by things are looking for a. better sox one game while the world series is a marathon not a sprint for the red sox will have been feeling pretty confident after that comprehensive victory over the dodgers in cheese days i think in game. and it wasn't long before they were on top of the scoring in game two as ian kinsler hit the single ohio engine review to drive in sand. so. that. the dodgers finally got on the scoresheet at the top of the fourth inning kemper tying the game. before you put last jazz runners up ahead for the first time they stary. to the. student jean-marie bad times which didn't last long their dodgers manager dave roberts pulled review in the fifth inning with two outs and the bases loaded and reliever ryan madson allowed c.p.s. to level things. j.d. matson as then put the red sox back in control with a two run single than now half way through the fourth championship in fifteen seasons. and the odds are stacked in their favor eighty four percent of teens who led the world series to nothing have gone on to win the title. players there's no other sejanus is going to be very clear than pitching a world series game unless it's game seven of the world series so you know to be able to do that. it feels good for sure. home for myself from my teammates and coaches for us to to be two and a way into nothing going on world series that's a good feeling. game three takes place in l.a. on friday where the dodgers will be hoping to avoid a third defeat in a row a deficit from which no world series has ever recovered from falling trees and houses their. south american football argentinian giants boca juniors have one foot in the final of the culpa a better doris after two and when all the brazilian rivals maris not a bad crowd for the semifinal first leg. when osiris on their steep reserved on put his body on the line to keep out. the kick the bucket when to one from the resulting corner through a daddy obinna ditto he wasn't finished a moment of magic from billy ditto wrong footing at the defense and even with our top helpless it seems will play the second leg and sao paulo next wednesday for a place in the final against either river plate or. why grab a late say to earn a one one draw. in rio de

headlines for the right reasons. the image of usa gymnastics has been tainted by the sex abuse scandal involving former team doctor larry nasir who's been sentenced to more than three hundred years in jail because you were guilty and since then the national governing body has faced heavy criticism for not taking serious steps to reform and implement changes to ensure their gymnast's are protected sufficiently. they've also had a crisis of leadership earlier this month interim president mary bono resigned just days into a job making for high ranking officials to leave in the last six months right now we have people that really are not in tune with what really is happening within our community and what has happened and they're refusing to make really really huge changes which no one is going to move forward until we do now. was one of nearly one hundred sixty women who accused of sexual abuse the twenty one year old has that speaking about what happened to her was empowering and she feels now that she has the responsibility to be a role model in doha however i was and the team had been told to focus strictly on competing well you know that we're here to compete so all the other stuff we don't care about we don't talk about every day we focus on what the plan is from workout to workout we really take it one workout at a time we know we have a good experience and the chances

journalist jamal i should sheep as premeditated murder. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching all to zero live from doha also coming up a first for ethiopia the first female president has been appointed as part of a reshuffle for an equal number of men and women in government. vegetable factories bombed in yemen the saudi a morality led coalition investigates the killing of twenty one workers in an airstrike. and bomb disposal experts in the us investigate more suspicious packages donald trump blames the media for provoking anger in society. the public prosecutor's office in saudi arabia says it's investigating the killing of jamal khashoggi as a. case of premeditated murder based on information received from turkish investigators the saudis have given various accounts over the past three weeks including that she died accidentally when he was put into a choke hold during a fist fight now members of the european parliament have passed a motion calling on e.u. states to stop selling arms to riyadh it follows the introduction of a bill by a u.s. congress members aimed at banning most arms sales to saudi the bipartisan group ng led by a senior democrat is demanding an end to military cooperation unless it's proved saudi leaders did not order the killing of jamal khashoggi after two days in turkey the head of the cia is heading back to washington to brief officials in the white house u.s. media saying gina has for heard a recording of her show g.'s killing inside the saudi consulate in istanbul now in a moment we'll cross live to kimberly hank who has news about the cia director's meeting with the u.s. president on the front but first charles stratford with the latest from is stan bull so charles this coming together of the narratives i guess is one way to summarize it when the saudis are talking about yes it was premeditated murder. yeah it's taking quite a long time for that narrative to come together hasn't it certainly according to the saudi prosecutor's office you say. they love to having looked at what the turkish sorry to have got in this investigation say that it indicates that indeed the killing of mystical shows he may well have been premeditated and of course it was choose day two days ago that we heard from the turkish president describing this is. all indications suggest that it was a savage. we've had the saudis changing the narrative time and time again since october the second since this this crisis started first saying these allegations were baseless lauri's then saying who shows he was killed in a brawl then saying that when the into the embassy a conversation ensued he panicked seemingly screamed so the saudis say he was put into a choke hold and was killed accidentally so it just shows you what we've been saying all along that the saudi narrative is changing constantly there's been some comments today from the turkish foreign minister again putting pressure on the saudis saying that you know where is the body this is the where the emphasis of the investigation is now in questioning the saudis by saying why was it these eighteen men specifically that arrested and once again point you the finger at the saudi heir apparent crown prince mohammed bin sole mound beset by saying who ordered this operation he also indicated to any potential international participation in in an investigation and this is what he had to say a much stronger. there was no indication that we will escalate this to the international court at this time but if it is escalated there is no doubt that turkey would share any information we have. and others still examining what part that well may play in the inquiry as well charles. lots of interesting developments there we've just spoken in the last hour to a source in the prosecutor's prosecutor's office who's saying that the the search warrant for this well has been agreed to by the saudi side but it seems as if the saudi side is dragging its feet the prosecutor's office saying they're still not getting access to that well we know that the well was superficially inspected on the first during the first investigation a week ago the south the saudi counsel general's property and we know that there was a wall to sample taken at that time we understand that the well that the water level of this well is around six meters down but the well itself is more than twenty meters deep and of course as we've been reporting one of the reasons why the saudis didn't allow the full investigative team to do the the well search during the first investigation was because they said the men that had been brought along to look at this well in depth were not on the list of people the list the personnel that they'd agreed to to participate in that investigation so yes again another indication certainly according to the x. and the turkish government sources that we speak to that the saudis may not be fully cooperating in this joint investigation charles thanks very much live to washington and correspondent kimberly hellcat so kimberly gina hospital one of the very few people outside the turkish hierarchy we understand here this audiotape. that is being widely reported in the u.s. media although i have to tell you it has not been confirmed to al-jazeera despite our attempts to reach out to the cia they say at this time that will not be commenting directly on whether or not the cia director actually did hear that audio but those inside turkey particularly with respect to knowledge of that meeting say and have been reporting that in fact a houseful did in fact hear the audio of novel the interrogation of jim but in fact his murder if this is the case and the cia director is sharing that information with the president today something that the white house press secretary has confirmed this is certainly very compelling not only is this going to put the pressure on the president as the u.s. congress has already done but what we are likely to see is perhaps requests either publicly but more likely privately for both the house intelligence and the senate intelligence committees on capitol hill to summon the cia director to share with them what she has heard no congress is in recess right now because we are thirteen or twelve days now i believe it is before the congressional elections having said that i expect that this will be a high priority for lawmakers who feel that the top administration well now talking tough toward saudi arabia has not done enough to hold it accountable for the killing. as well as telling the president and various people on capitol hill she's actually to she need to kind of interpret them as well and new names for them beyond the obvious content because this is this is a saga of narrative counter-narrative and what the saudis have changed four times now that we know won't. absolutely she that is part of her job as an intelligence specialist she's uniquely suited for it too because we do know that she is. the money or with the language that she's also perhaps spent some time in turkey although the cia won't confirm whether or not she was the head of station there they simply don't comment on those types of positions but we do know that she certainly has spent time in istanbul and is also very comfortable in those surroundings so she's uniquely suited for now briefing the president on all aspects of the story not only here in the audio tape but understanding the nuances involving the investigation that's taking place particularly in turkey this is the kind of information that she is going to now passed on to the president there is a daily scheduled intelligence briefing it's not clear the white house not confirming if that is the briefing but certainly given the president's full schedule later on today it's safe to assume that it fifteen thirty g.m.t. that may be when the house bill is meeting with the president but what's again it comes down to the pressure on this president now he has so far been resisting calls to end arms sales he is looking for more information we've already had the triggering of the global magnitsky act that's one hundred twenty day countdown of the clock is ticking on that one for the white house to potentially put in place sanctions at the highest level of the saudi government but for now well the president says that he believes there has been deception and lies he is still defending the denials of at least the king but he is raising some doubt now in recent days with regard to the story that he's been told by the saudi crown prince kimberly thank you. he has a new president and the first time it's a woman. in her own. family day to day when i started my work as ethiopian federal democratic president i found to fulfill my duties faithfully. places to show me work. itself this is part of why the reshuffle. my minister met with a new here being president has a long history in diplomacy and advocacy she served as ethiopia's ambassador to france and worked at the top level in the country's ministry of foreign affairs she was also the permanent representative to the un's peacebuilding office in the central african republic before moving to become director general of the organizations regional based in nairobi sixty eight year old brings three decades of top level diplomatic experience to the job most recently she was appointed by the u.n. secretary general and tourney to ted has to be his key link to the african union sedalia lemme is editor in chief of the ad is standard magazine and she says even though the role is largely ceremonial the president still has potential to lead reform. ambassadors how they work has. a very extensive experience in being a diplomat serving your country as a diplomat first and also moving into a separate post as was in the united nations. her last one was in nairobi and i know i'm sorry her last one the one that she just resigned from was the representative from the u.n. secretary general to the african aids so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as an established korean diplomat in the past . you know many say it's largely ceremonial by the course to shoot it he's also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is their prisoner shut his office that that motion every fiscal year two boys houses the after and there are houses to gaiety you know the guy the guidance of the government's activities for in can be yours so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech this morning i also gathered that the president sees all these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say still to come here on al-jazeera thanks nato troops begin the biggest ever war games exercise since the cold war but what do the russians think. hollow because some warm sunshine into the southeast of china at the moment both eastley winds pushing through now so that does bring rather more the way of clear skies you notice and cloud and some rain a little north of that down toward the southwest of china

similar value to four karate thirty one there in new delhi meanwhile further west a good deal of dry weather now across much of the arabian peninsula but this in places of plowed into the central parts of saudi arabia even here and hotter we might just catch one or two showers as we go through saturday. when our on line for humanity has been taken out it's going to require talking about numbers on a spreadsheet or if you join us on assange i guarantee you know what it has a back story like yours this is a dialogue and i'm just tired of seeing the negative stereotypes about native americans everyone has a voice mistress and that's your comments your questions i'll do my best to bring them to the south join the global conversation on now to zero. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera live from doha and he said these are your top stories the public prosecutor's office in saudi arabia says it's investigating the killing of jamal khashoggi as a case of premeditated murder based on information from turkish investigators here again parliament has not passed a motion urging e.u. states to stop selling weapons to the saudis ethiopia has its first female president sali works out today was the u.n. special representative to the african union parliament picture days after prime minister approved an equal number of male and female ministers. the saudi emirates he led coalition in yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a factory doctor say twenty one people were killed in weapons tonight's attack dogs such a body as the latest. so that's the latest victims of the war in yemen workers at a vegetable packing factory in the town of beit factory you must know by me of i mean this is where they wash the vegetables this is where they were washing the okra okra for god's sake look at okra so they can sell it in the markets they're just workers. the saudi emirates he led coalition had sent reinforcements tanks and armored vehicles to the port city of a data before wednesday night's attack pro-government forces have been trying to recapture the city from who the rebels since a renewed offensive in september. doctors and people who live in the area say they don't know what the intended target was but it's not uncommon for coalition warplanes to hit civilian targets some images too gruesome to show a child once again among the victims and of the one. this man survived bloodied but shocked by what happened but the family now we were cleaning dirt off the okra batch and then the plane above us struck we're only doing our job. since the war began in two thousand and fifteen coalition forces have hit wedding parties funerals residential homes hospitals and a school bus they often blame who's the rebels accusing them of using civilians as human shields as international pressure grows for an end to the war the casualty figures continue to rise dorsetshire bari al jazeera. bomb squad experts in the u.s. are investigating more suspicious packages this time sent to former vice president joe biden and robert deniro it's not known if they're linked to mail bombs to live a two leading democrats including former presidents barack obama bill clinton and his wife hillary c.n.n. also received a suspicious package is kristen salumi. one of the packages was addressed barack obama in washington d.c. it was discovered on wednesday morning the night before a package was discovered addressed to hillary clinton's residence in upstate new york both devices were intercepted during routine security screenings at a rally in florida clinton expressed her gratitude we are fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service. who intercepted. the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home a third device addressed to former cia director john brennan did reach c.n.n. studios in new york that led to an evacuation of the time warner center including the anchors who were broadcasting at the time all three packages are reported to have contained explosives and shards of glass as did others discovered in florida and los angeles the ongoing investigation didn't stop president trump or thousands of his supporters from attending a rally in wisconsin. the president addressed the attempted attacks first thing and he actually threats of political violence are to attack on our democracy itself. no nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation coersion or control we all know that it was an uncharacteristically conciliatory tone for the president compared to rallies past. democratic leaders have accused the president of telling violence at rallies like this whether it's praising a congressman body slammed a reporter and her aging supporters in attack protesters but supporters here see things very differently you know strong rhetoric i'm on one of those generating on a. i. i don't know i don't blame from for that the senior democrats have just left the fanatics take over the party i used to have democratic friends and we would discuss things you can't do that i think we're going through a period of time right now but i don't think it's going to last so i don't really blame anybody specifically no blame for the president from this crowd of loyal supporters but then it's those middle of the road swing voters who could make the difference in two weeks' time kristen salumi al jazeera mohseni wisconsin. well the u.s. president told from today taking to twitter this time blaming the media for stoking the anger a very big part of the anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely full send in accurate reporting of the mainstream media that i refer to as fake news he said it's gotten so bad he went on and hateful that is beyond description mainstream media must clean up its act fast pentacle hain joins us from washington so much in just one tweet there from donald trump patti unpack that for us. well this is the president not sounding conciliatory anymore in less than twelve hours because a lot of pundits a lot of journalists are actually saying that every single person that has been targeted is somebody who president donald trump has personally attacked and i want to give you the latest update right now there are more bombs being found two were addressed to joe biden former vice president joe biden they've been found in delaware and robert de niro the famous actor his restaurant received one of those packages he's obviously a very vocal critic of the president the president's fired back at him directly so a lot of people pointing the finger at the president saying that his rhetoric is now being seen and having actions people are taking actions to basically follow through on some of his threats he's pushing back on that blaming the media now we have heard one tweet from john brennan he was the subject of one of those bombs except they said to c.n.n. where he's not actually contributor he works for a different network but he set out this tweet saying stop blaming others look in the mirror your inflammatory rhetoric insults lies and encouragement of physical violence our discrete civil clean up your act try to act presidential the american people deserve much better by the way your critics will not be intimidated into silence so you have to put this in perspective this is all with just two weeks to the midterm elections that are going to be crucial to whether or not the president has any sort of check of his power or whether he is able to basically put forward his entire agenda so what you solved right after these stories started break it is a lot of people on the president's side the republican can hundreds they started saying this is a false flag that this is being done to benefit the democrats chance of the election obviously both sides really digging in this is not serve to unite the country with the president's tweet this morning it's clear that that's not the direction he wants to go in either thanks very much let's bring in lincoln mitchell lincoln mitchell is a political scientist a teacher's american democracy at columbia university joins us from lincoln mitchell he's responsible for this culture across the political divide that. hello mr mitchell can you hear us. i don't think we've got sound all return sound coming to us from the states we'll go back to that if and when we can . the biggest news a wargame since the one nine hundred eighty s. are beginning today in norway troops in thirty one countries have weeks of military exercises ahead of them a month after russian and chinese forces out their largest ever joint drills alex topless reports now from trondheim. they've been arriving in norway since august for the biggest exercises nato has wrong since the end of the cold war soldiers from every native country plus finland and sweden i had to train for the next were called trident juncture the maneuvers take place across most of scandinavia involving fifty thousand troops two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five naval ships including the harry s. truman aircraft carrier and ten thousand military vehicles the exercises come at a time when the alliance is facing fierce criticism from an american administration that is frustrated with fellow members it says are not pulling their weight i think that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing a lot of the countries and we were doing much more than we should have been doing frankly we were carrying too much of a burden that's why we call it burden sharing president trump was especially critical of germany but the senior nato partner is the wargames biggest contributor with eight thousand of its troops participating in. these high visibility exercises and not just about training they're designed to bolster nervous alliance members especially those bordering russia the host of a super the war games norway is considered a core part of the northern norm of nato. it shares two hundred kilometers worth of border with russia and as it defended itself in the past norway trained well to defend itself in the future. and with good reason russia held to huge military wargames over the last two years zap out all west in two thousand and seventeen and vostok or east earlier this year involving three hundred thousand soldiers the war thing nato is currently exercise. with this pressure on the alliance at a time of rising regional geo political tension natives nervous allies will be looking to try and juncture for reassurance topless or to zero trying time norway let's go back to that story that interview rather we tried to bring you just a couple of minutes ago we're going to talk to lynn commit children can mitchell is a political scientist who teaches american democracy at columbia he joins us from new york lincoln mitchell thanks very much for your time today we're talking about . why or how as to why we get to a situation where people are sending possible reportage of mail bombs through the u.s. postal service who is responsible for this culture of hate this this level of anger within the political spectrum. well there is a fair amount of blame to go around but we shouldn't be we shouldn't care too far on the side of saying everyone is guilty here this is a climate that has been facilitated and nurtured by the far right for many years going back to timothy mcveigh really in one thousand nine hundred three and you know these are these are liberal democratic politicians joe biden was include was targeted today as well in the context of a president who is used very violent rhetoric i mean we forget some people that during the two thousand and sixteen campaign donald trump proposed regarding hillary clinton quote second amendment solutions for you or perhaps listeners who aren't familiar with the bill of rights the second amendment is the right to own a weapon so a second amendment solution means killing somebody so this is this has come from trump trump has used you know describe people who disagree with him as enemies of the people to people who support the other party are dangerous hateful crazy anti-american so it's very very hard to look at this and not lay a fair amount of the blame for both squarely at the foot of donald trump but also what the other republicans who stood by for years and let this happen when barack obama was president the united states tea party demonstrators lynched him in effigy and most republican legislators said no so that's how you get from here to there ok and say anything just one quick point you talked about timothy mcveigh then the man found guilty of the oklahoma city bombing in ninety two ninety three i think it was from memory but people are saying this country must come together this country. you know there's about a third of the country who defines truth not as what is imperial what empirical evidence supports but as what donald trump says if donald trump says it's true it's true there was a republican congressman very early on in trump's presidency you said if it's critical of the president it's fake news in that context truth doesn't matter now as far as in other words in that context to a third of the country truth doesn't matter truth always matters but we're no longer in a debate here where we argue about what the truth might be everybody takes the truth they want. they want and moved from there gerri cushion right it is a different story this is a young man who is in so far above his head he can't even see into the bottom of the water i mean so so i don't think i think he just in over his head he doesn't quite know what he's saying he's very influential but that's unfortunate but he's not a thoughtful or serious person in all of this ok lincoln mitchell good to talk to you again thank you so much for being with us through our technical issues just a little earlier but really good to get your insight on that story thank you thank you. this is al jazeera these are the top stories the public prosecutor's office in saudi arabia says it's investigating the killing of jamal khashoggi as a case of premeditated murder based on information from turkish investigators also this hour the european parliament has passed a motion urging e.u. states to stop selling weapons to the saudis ethiopia has its first female president sally works all day was the u.n. special representative to the african union the parliament picked her days after the prime minister had approved an equal number of male and female ministers. bomb squad experts in the u.s. are investigating more suspicious packages the latest were addressed the former vice president joe biden and the robert deniro detectives are checking if they're linked to mail bombs sent to leading democrats including former presidents brock obama and bill clinton and his wife hillary c.n.n. also received a suspicious package donald trump an initially condemned the attempted attacks as despicable political violence but the president's recent tweet blames the media for stoking anger the former cia director john brennan has treated in response accusing mr trump of fueling the divide in american politics he said this stop blaming others look in the mirror your inflammatory rhetoric insults lies and encouragement of physical violence disgraceful. the saudi immorality led coalition in yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a vegetable packing factory doctors say twenty one people were killed in the town of beit el fucka in the data province and ukrainian filmmaker who's serving a twenty year prison sentence in russia for opposing the annexation of crimea has won a major prize for defending human rights and fundamental freedoms the european parliament awarded its annual sakharov prize to overlake sensel. up next is the street. from change. we understand the difference. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you al-jazeera. ok and i'm really good here in the stream allegations of asian bias at one of the most selective colleges in the us harvard university will look at an ongoing lawsuit and what the case could mean for the future of race pace university admissions policies you can share your thoughts with us through our live chat or via twitter. does harvard university discriminate against asian american applicants that is the question being asked in a lawsuit currently being heard in a u.s. federal court the plaintiffs students for fair admissions says asian americans are held to a higher standard in the admissions process they argue that admissions officers scored academically qualified asian americans low on personality and character rankings harvard has denied any form of discrimination and defends its quite cheerio which it says uses race as one of many factors including academics juggle fee and social economic background so to what degree should race be a factor in college admissions and what else is at stake in the harvard case well joining us to discuss these issues in boston jangly a senior at harvard he's been assisting with the and he can spread and support of affirmative action in harvard admissions and boston swanley co-founder of the asian american coalition for education that's a group that believes affirmative action discriminates against. asian americans in new york you mean part head of the harvard asian american alumni alliance one of the harvard affiliated groups campaigning in support of affirmative action policies and in new haven connecticut roman khandahar a high school senior who is against affirmative action welcome everyone to the stream i want to start with a boy from harvard and this is kelly he's a student a junior at harvard university and here's what he had to say about this hot button issue this isn't a case of potential discrimination this is a case of real discrimination these affirmative action policies are negatively impacting asian americans and unfairly treating them simply because of their race discrimination on college campuses isn't something new this is something that organizations such as the leadership. forum have been reporting on for years and this is communication is really happening right now as she of justice john roberts once said the only way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race and that's exactly what affirmative action policies do right now in the only way to change that is to get rid of them he needs strong perspective there from cali so break this down for us what is harvard's admission process and why do people like calley find it so problematic. i think the reason that some people have issues with it i mean the process is a holistic admissions process a whole person admissions process and i think that you know we've all i learned a lot about harvard's admissions process over the last few weeks and one of the things that we've learned as it it is how carefully the admissions office considers each person as an individual and and in terms of considering race it's only one factor among many many many factors i considered and we were told that it is it is only considered as a plus factor for a for a candidate but we've seen many files of applicants now and what's clear is that admission is not at all determined by scores and grades it's determined by a full consideration of what the admissions office believes that students potential the potential to make the most of their education at harvard and to go on and and make a difference in the world with that education i want to show our audience a little bit of what it might be like to get into a hospital how difficult it is to get into harvard have a look on my laptop this is what harvard college admissions and financial aid have that she shared with the general public and this is a profile of the middle class a twenty twenty two look at the applicants forty two thousand look who is admitting it or who will be admitting to two thousand it is incredibly difficult to get into harvard jangly you know one of the few people who managed to do that ad and you saw you had missions file and what was written on it what did you know from that. yes so i think the biggest thing i learned is that it takes a very holistic perspective and a very straight so it's not just the grades and test scores that every semitic students cheated so from my own experience here as. undergraduate you know to call it. the defining experience isn't bad we have a lot like really really smart students right it's also that they are like so cash and so i think that harvard is right to take a holistic perspective when deciding whether or not. and i think that's really the biggest takeaway i learned from i have that style and you also pool how can the court understand what the application process is like what it's like to student and you go over the information what can you tell us about the information you gave the court to help them understand the situation better. just still i talked a lot about my own personal experiences with diversity years so i come from a very white suburb of texas i grew up with that much diversity most of my students most of my peers were white race and so after sort of my time here i really realized just how necessary crucial diversity is to my harbor experience if it hadn't been very diverse your perspectives on the different people of color my causes my experience here would be completely different in the worst way and so i didn't i just like really wanted to put it in that student perspective of why dr just diversity is so important why do ashes. to me what still pick east issue with this current court case saying that harvard discriminates against asian americans my biggest issue with this case is that it is being brought by someone who or who has never been an advocate for the asian american community who has been fighting against race conscious admissions policies at multiple universities he's suing multiple universities he's taken a says the supreme court and failed twice and after he failed the last time in the fisher case he went out looking specifically for asian american applicants so the this case is about ending affirmative action and his only remedy that he seeks is for admissions to be completely race blind and i think what's really important to remember is that race blind is not race neutral you know this is a country that is not where race is a factor in so many parts of our lives especially in educational achievement and educational opportunity it factors in to the way that teachers and counselors look at you if factors into the kinds of schools you have the kinds of access you have to things like test prep that is why. you know race and ethnicity should. factor that had to be taken into account situated emissions office and you need a person that you mention it would be. conservative activists and his aim is to get rid of affirmative action in the united states here he is talking to fox news in december havenot in college administrators and bureaucrats in admissions officers are with the idea that your race should be used to help you or your race should be used to harm you in your admissions process racial preferences that favored whites back in the forty's fifty's sixty's and seventy's was wrong yet now racial preferences that favor african-americans and hispanics that's wrong as well you cannot you cannot remove the past discrimination with new discrimination that's what colleges so our audience and people online as well have a lot to say about this is natasha who says give us a little reminder history lesson here if you will she says he funded fisher versus texas which is an affirmative action case which he lost then he turned to asian american plaintiffs he's never cared about racial discrimination this case is purely about dismantling affirmative action but it is americans as cover another person also weighing in on that same theme there and it's one i will give this to you. ed blum says he's suing harvard to fight racial discrimination but anti affirmative action crusaders like bloom never attack a legacy admissions which are effectively affirmative action programs for wealthy white kids we know what this is about not your cover wondering what your take is on . you know all this is actually misrepresentation by many of the academics and special interest groups if they go to harvard tiles at the boston federal court that would know the real situation i was there and actually the s f if they did fight against looks at the missions they asked to move let us in the missions and that said mission that the regional considers here often pipe together in ten american states after the band the so called for action which is not the real kind of deal from the action which was already like you slipped it into the civil rights act one nine hundred sixty four title six so edward boom and the s f f a is using the radio at home and faction to fight the fake of an action which is really just the nation and the curse that is mostly asian absent because asian africans even though they're just five percent of the high school graduates of a year now have put there are often punished most of them are who comment is this suffer from the lowest acceptance rates so we've got the numbers of the people of color black and brown students more just. or you have the actual number of white africans that are poor is going to be extremely more so in reality this is again only a part you guys going to affect when one benefit where. it's not a matter of when you think i don't bloom and it's not just do it for the americans but for all americans. especially the working class americans because right now when they use the racial. or income students and that's not fair i went to the court at boston federal court and i listened to the defense how they are justifying their racial consideration and everything they said about how i mean students using pencils to practice how are african-american and you know have certain kind of career goal and that isn't all that was evidence that used to justify racial concentration and. racial consideration it's all for the app you can just package the material that you from all there are even then even though that they'll consider recycle all that information is already in the applicant's package all that if somebody is there what they're not saying is the. associate. then if you really i know you want to get in there but i want to play and then i want to bring in a couple of tweets are our community this really was brought up in my mind when i heard a couple of phrases from the swan this is an op ed by a member of our community this is the title or front of action harvard doesn't hurt most asian americans because we more often go to community colleges and the idea behind this he writes in this tweet ryan says the main point of this op ed was always to emphasize how our community should remain dubious when folks like edward blum also best known for challenging voter rights laws claim that they suddenly and solely care about our success as a group but moving on from that point though keeping that in mind but moving on just a little bit i want to bring into this tweet this is from jim now who says spending my life conducting research on and teaching about asian americans has made me keenly aware of how race has shaped the experiences of the. americans and made more aware of how asian americans fit into the larger us racial landscape i don't buy charges of discrimination at i.m.p.'s asian americans many who are chinese american like me are enrolled at yale at a rate three times greater than their numbers in the population this is the lack of inclusion so i bring that up genie because i wonder and what she's saying is there not a danger that there might actually be discrimination here that will be swept under the rug because of the larger issue of affirmative action. i think that it's important not only for the admissions office to be to be carefully monitoring their processes at all times i hope that the admissions office has very strong training around implicit bias you know that's something we haven't quite discussed yet and there has been some evidence that there may be implicit bias that creeps into the process for instance when teachers and counselors write recommendations and how do you how do you work against against that i think that you know it again . there are i'm sure there are always ways for an admissions office to be improved and to guard against any kinds of discrimination i have to go back though and again challenge the assertion that edward bloom is pro affirmative action that is absolutely not true he is very much said he is against it and in terms of as jang mentioned socio economics if you know the research has shown that if you just try to admit based on socio economics you crease the diversity of the class dramatically so if you're going in that direction again that is a solution that is taking us back in time to becoming a less diverse college community and and a society that is you know less educated around issues of diversity and you know one of the things that hartley tries to do that's build leaders for all different communities and that means that they need to admit a class that that includes students from all those communities who are committed to those communities who have experience in those communities and are going to go on to serve those communities that include students from chinese american immigrant communities that includes students from vietnamese communities from south asian communities from bangladeshi american communities from puerto rico and american communities i mean this is why hard just trying to create diversity and. also this diversity benefits asian americans i mean the asian american students out of harvard and that colleges need to learn their words our environment and our lives so that they can go on to work in and lead this incredibly. you know diverse society that we live in that's becoming more and more diverse and i can't what universities like harvard is trying to do are trying to do is to you know build that leadership for the future ok so and i just want to say this sean if i may let me let me share this with you this comes from kirk compeyson who is following the the court case that's happening right now regarding harvard and its application process and cook says that it's they ating the harvard discrimination case on the stand mark hansen who previously worked university's office of institutional research and he sworn testimony hansen says asian americans are at a disadvantage in harvard's admission process and then the daily student magazine newspaper the hava crimson also says internal harvard review show disadvantage for asian applicants nobody has spelled out in this conversation so far what disadvantages swan can he say that for us in a sentence be very clear what are its racial stereotyping and regional bigotry and official profiling the college admissions process not just wasted parts for everybody i want to come to the margin you can't just point out how they are trying to bring in representing different communities but that's what he just profiling students of any additional are good enough to leave any racial group on the beach they're not a community that's of their own as a new city i think of the fake actually which is just let's look at what supremacy to perpetuate racism and look down at how just spiritual defeat and how you subjugate the white students at eight colleges i think that's really very problematic and just morally wrong i try my family. and that i did not personally right now so that i like you sparked something there but i want to bring in our community member another harvard student this is daniel he sent us a big comment on the way forward pushing this conversation a bit ahead this is what he told the sting when people talk of finding a solution to the alleged cap on asian americans and harvard admissions that first point out that it's not actually clear whether or not discrimination is actually happening that's still being contested in court but it is i think it's much more likely that a solution would be found looking at other missions for rooms like athletic recruitment legacy admissions the dean's list and children battle the all of which have been shown to disproportionately favor white students over asian students and keeping in mind that our is still around half way i think maybe cutting back on legacy and recruitment could do more to get at the heart of the problem rather than cutting back on affirmative action some people also think socioeconomic class work as an alternative by don't think that's viable at least on a loan given that race till her dramas uni america regardless of your class then in a sentence what do you make of your classmates thoughts there yeah so i mean i completely agree with. like social economics that is a good replacement for for action the kinds of things that i raise a specter actions trying to get at because they still matters and wires and as mentors to everybody. you know so when it comes to this i've always the same exact thing when we look back at history when we look at race that's exactly what caused discrimination that's what's causing this rumination right now i want to go back to the topic of diversity man we've got thirty seconds left so thank you so much i really appreciate your input for our conversation

straight out here is the two state solution now up front for italians on al-jazeera. in an ordinary week dr event atar at the heart of the only functioning hospital in bush town in north eastern south sudan and his steam operate in iran sixty patients the united nations refugee agency nominated him for the prestigious nansen award which you won in recognition of his work and the incredibly

obstruct the process of who you know visions of the mother to walk into the city that they're supposed to. this is al jazeera from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha i'm kemal santa maria welcome to the news grid premeditated murder even saudi arabia is now saying about the killing of jamal khashoggi saudi public prosecutors of the decisions based on information. from turkish investigators in the building three weeks later there are still so many unanswered questions and let's not forget still no body. and rights groups are ramping up the pressure against saudi arabia calling on the international community to close its doors on arms sales and had a comment next to show us now has tagged eighteen is great also on the grid another step forward for gender equality in ethiopia the first it was female appointments to come for the government's cabinet positions and now ethiopia has its first thing the president the former u.n. diplomat saw there works out and not long after the u.n. issued its dying warning about the range of climate change comes news of new technology that would accelerate our ability to recycle carbon dioxide and look at how viable this plan could be for a planet in danger about it he's. in the news grade live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live an al-jazeera dot com and saudi arabia is now investigating the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi as premeditated murder its public prosecutor says that decision is based on information that's come from the turkish investigators remember he died shortly after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul back on october the second and over the past three weeks saudi arabia has been changing its story initially it said he left the building them and said he died during a fist fight turkish sources of course allege a team of fifteen saudis was sent to istanbul specifically to kill him and other developments the head of the cia is returned to washington from turkey and is due to brief president donald trump on the investigation this hour there are reports in u.s. media that gina haskell actually listened to the order your recording of that moment when khashoggi was killed and on the political front u.s. congress members of introduced a bill to ban most weapons sales to saudi arabia it is a bipartisan group that wants. military cooperation to end unless there was proof of the saudi leadership not ordering pressure g.'s killing so those are the main developments let's start with child stratford he's outside the consulate in istanbul premeditated murder it is quite a step for the saudis to actually be saying that now charles. certainly is but let's not forget that it's been two weeks since this joint invest because if committee was set up so in that and the saudis and the leaks to the media from the turkish government schools is since this crisis began have suggested that from day one there is also indications now increasingly of frustration from the to the side with the level of cooperation and certainly the speed with which the saudi side are cooperating we heard the turkish foreign minister today stressing these announce it questions but also saying why was it these eighteen individuals were arrested in saudi arabia where is the body still and who hold a days of peroration another indication that's putting more pressure on the saudis and then very interesting the way we've been reporting the expected arrival all of this investigative seem to be able to have the site to be able to have a look inside this well at the consul consul general home now we've spoken to a source in the prosecutor general's office who says that. the permits for this investigation have been cleared by the saudis bots according to him it seems the saudis are still dragging their feet and not allowing access for a full investigation all of that well at the consul general side we understand the well is more than twenty meters deep but the water level inside it is around six meters down towards a sample had been taken during the first investigation that happened to we could go down there but it's now in full that the untied the depths of the well to the base of it is also looks at by what we understand will be members of the civil defense forces here who obviously a qualified to go go into the well go down into this very. one of the sea. restricted restricted space to see exactly what is down there the investigation yeah it goes on still the latest no no new lines on for example that cause the photograph of which we saw yesterday released by the site that consulate vehicle that was seen the day be full of shows he was killed around to the belgrade forest and indication from president to want to choose day believing that so in the investigators here telling him that a team of saudi consulate workers may well have gone up there the day before in a reconnaissance mission to look for some way potentially to bury this body. if things are moving very slowly it seemingly in terms of the investigation and the slow of this investigation gates as he indicates it by the turkish foreign minister that the more pressure the turks are putting on the saudis for the full cooperation in this investigation extraordinary number of unanswered questions three weeks later the child stratford in istanbul thank you we move to the white house he is kimberly how kimberly i guess the most important thing to not want to look ahead to now the cia chief gina housefull reporting to president trump. and the white house press secretary sarah sanders confirming to al-jazeera that meeting is set to take place at the bottom of this hour fifteen thirty g.m.t. so watching that very closely she will of course be briefing the president following her return from turkey where she was dispatched by the president who felt that he had been hearing lies and deception in his words and was looking for one of his own team to get on the ground accord with intelligence officials on what had been learned and as has been widely reported in the u.s. media it is believed that among the things that the housefull the cia director had access to in turkey includes listening to the audio recording of not only the interrogation but also the murder of his shows you know this is something that's important because these are the details the president is looking for he requested not only audio but video intelligence and that was not supplied to him so that is the reason for her trip presumably where this heads moving forward well typically had we not been in the midst of an election cycle with twelve days until the congressional elections here in the united states we may have seen the house intelligence or the senate intelligence committees summoning the hospital for private briefings so they too could hear what she had learned but that is not happening at least right now but certainly that does not discount the fact that there is still an awful lot of pressure on this white house for further punitive action against saudi arabia in light of what the members of congress have heard so far thank you kimberly how could at the white house there were also friends and colleagues of jamal khashoggi demonstrating outside saudi missions and embassies around the world to demand on since on his killing and she ever times he is outside the saudi embassy in washington d.c. for us what sort of turnout if you got there she has. it's it's a modest turn out right now it's a play that's just beginning though there are all these sorts of gatherings happening we all the sounds at embassies and consulates of saudi arabia and paris and istanbul and london i think it was well the association it's been found it is the khashoggi friends on the world's association where with the founder one of the founders office association one hundred perhaps you can tell us what is association trying to achieve actually trying to achieve justice for jim allen and we're trying to present mohamed to sell name to real international trial actually he is a real criminal homicide who said that one hundred of his a and we are thinking is netanyahu as well and one hundred percent man is a main target so you'll be giving a lesson to the embassy behind us in a moment what's in that letter elater we're asking it's directed to dick cheney and to go ahead and uncover the truth and to remove mohammed no man of any position he has at this moment it's interesting you're not just focusing on jamal khashoggi but other voices that you say are being silenced by the saudis and this is another focus their association tell us more about that. actually that the voices of a lot of people they don't like to talk about so european because they are afraid to be prevented from going to the major doing all right and we're fortunate enough now that a lot of people start speaking up and i would like to tell this message to almost lourdes human rights their human rights why it's more important then for you to go visit like saving the human rights life so a lot of people start speaking up code pink international action the magazine egyptian the world senator corker. senator lindsey graham so we are seeing the momentum going up right now and i know you have talked to people on capitol hill members of congress there is a sense that an acceptable narrative is being formulated so everyone can just move on ankara washington andrea. don't you feel that that might be under way or do you really feel that these members of congress mean it when they say they're not going to drop this just whenever when this is all blown over i think don't really mean it we. can tell who is determined. from tennessee and the. foreign relations i think he's already determined and the media i don't think washington post or c.n.n. or you guys. so i think the momentum is going to keep going i think i'd like to add two. and he did not just killed. this is what happened in egypt. you see this picture this is another dramatic. this is another. man is financing terrorism taking place in egypt. thank you very much as i said the organizers of this little demonstration will now go into the attempt to go to the south into the saudi embassy to give an answer but we're not quite sure whether they will be allowed to work. thank you for that she had her tansey outside the saudi embassy in washington so let's look more at the squabble reaction and the steps that nations are in fact taking to sanction saudi arabia as we mentioned this bipartisan group of u.s. lawmakers has introduced a bill to ban arms sales to saudi arabia it would cut military cooperation unless american investigators could provide proof the saudi government did not order casualties killing germany has stopped saudi weapons deals chancellor angela merkel has joined other european countries in calling for a quote credible investigation the canadian prime minister justin trudeau says it would be hard to scrap a thirteen billion dollar arms deal with riyadh as he comes under pressure to punish the kingdom. on tuesday politicians in spain voted against a blocking weapons sales to saudi arabia so that you can see a bit of a cross-section there we've got here the batsman with us now who's a senior research a with the arms and military expenditure program at cypriot that is the stockholm international peace research institute always nice to see you peter and what do you think of the action that has been taken so far what does it actually amount to the germans causing sales for example what does it actually amount to in in monetary terms in deal terms in relationship terms. well the german choice to restrict the arms to saudi arabia even further than they're already decided in the beginning of this year has of course limited implication it's only one country and germany has had limited exports to saudi arabia we're talking about hundreds of millions of euros worth of equipment in recent years but if we don't look at you know the total german economy and also the total employed by saudi arabia this is only a very very small portion of either so it's not a very big deal right now at least not in terms of the quantities unfold but of course it's a very important symbolic gesture by germany to show that yes you can actually decide to stop our sales as one way to sanction saudi arabia one way toward them is one way to put more pressure on them and so inevitably it falls to the united states as what the u.s. does its reaction is so important because of the number of. cells to saudi arabia do you think there will be some sort of concrete solid decision made because the congress wants to get involved you know we know that donald trump as president is wavering on what to do there but the congress seems strong. it's possible that they can get the administration so far to kind of start to implemented certain restrictions on arms sales to saudi arabia it is however hard to see that this would lead to a very comprehensive ban a real arms embargo some deals may be suspended to order so and plan to use may not take place right now certain items may not be supplied but i'd be very surprised if this would lead to very significant changes in the arms relation between the u.s. and saudi arabia at least in the short term ok but if there were to be some sort of cut and deal reduction it is the whole severe of arms sales the most effective way to make a change. it is just one two of a whole range of tools which you characterize one of the most kind of more straightforward tools which is that the one which we think of first in a situation like this by showing that you're not willing to supply arms and show that you disagree with the way saudi arabia uses force whether they use it against the show is still one question but then again we also look at a broader picture in which i really has been involved in the use of force. in yemen and also of course to some extent showing off against qatar so i think this is more like one first step but it will be sufficient by itself but on things are interesting ok part of it's been joining us from sipri thank you for your time and for your thoughts all this international pressure also growing online regina what are you saying welcome all pressure is mounting on your fall in the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi rights groups are now highlighting what they say are other violations the kingdom has committed stop the war coalition want justice and accountability but also an end to saudi arms sales at the top of the list for amnesty international is yemen annecy says despite the war there countries like the u.s. the u.k. and france continue to make lucrative deals with the saudis. now the campaigns against arms trade says that it shouldn't take the disappearance of a journalist for the u.k. to reconsider its relationship with saudi arabia. the impact weapons are having number one in yemen it's chilly devastating right now fighter jets flying over yemen drop meat bombs finding u.k. made missiles and results of the worst humanitarian crisis in food want to see and bucatinsky actually complicit not right from the start we must envy arms and support for this terrible war as long as weapons are being poured into war zones you're only going to get worse police to be a political solution can be more bombs. and the us of a classic senator bernie sanders wrote an opinion piece in the new york times this is also getting a lot of attention right now he calls on the u.s. government to redefine its relationship with saudi arabia and wants congress to reassert its authority of a matters of war all gammon has been torn apart by conflicts since twenty fifteen when saudi arabia launched an ad campaign against the hooty rebels saudi u.a.e. coalition has carried out more than sixteen thousand raids in the country millions have been forced from their homes and more than ten thousand people have been killed in the fighting the un is warning of widespread famine with half the population now relying on humanitarian aid we have been talking to people there and this is what it told us about what life is like i forget sleeping at night i don't want to be killed by the airstrikes. while i am sleeping and most of the minis to the same name it people hold don't have anything to eat and they don't have a blaze for their children to sleep they are difficult to find clean water. brittle gaz everything i started to enclose in my control because we are living all that they instead. have have been can lie. when all this will end with you and get your thoughts on the story so to get in touch with us is the hash tag aging is great you can simply message me directly i'm at for him ahmet mouth thank you reveal a just war hero was telling us that about yemen we've actually heard through the reuters news agency that salah mohammed who is. sorry who is the son of jamal khashoggi has left saudi arabia remember this is the young man we saw meeting with king solomon and mohammed bin salman only yesterday not there he is just coming into frame just now the interesting thing is he was previously barred from leaving the kingdom as well. and now we are hearing to reuters that he has left saudi arabia we just don't exactly know where yet so we'll keep an eye on that one maybe hear some more this is coming from sources close to his family we've been told. now as a missed saying this time yesterday we were listening to mohamed bin salman he was speaking at that high profile investment summit in saudi arabia a conference many global business leaders and politicians actually boycotted over casualties killing but the event still managed to generate fifty seven billion dollars worth of deals bernard smith's been taking a look at that. by the time crown prince mohammed bin salman turned up at the future investment initiative summit in riyadh a day after it started saudi arabia had already signed deals worth fifty billion dollars another six billion was added by the time the event closed the murder of jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul cast a dark shadow over the conference but it's not stopped business being done of its people are here now working there still is western representation there are bankers there are people you know investors looking to business they're just not always up to the highest level as they were last year and it's clear from talking to many of them that some of them are frustrated that their c.e.o.'s and their top executives are pulled out also missing from the summit was senior politicians from mainly western countries who withdrew his outrage over his murder group but there were plenty of others who did attend perhaps not as easily able to resist the financial clout of the world's biggest oil producer there were government delegations from china russia and african and middle eastern countries vision the conference has been solomon's brainchild created to draw investment and diversification into an oil dependent economy that needs to find new ways to provide millions of jobs and it's those opportunities that attendees couldn't ignore you can't take away decades of collaboration. effect of collaboration. over one incident of course or sconce of quinces fractions and then and then hopefully you can get past those actions the conference has told a multi-billion dollar plans include the cox and red sea tourist is in saudi arabia says it also wants to offer privatization opportunities in education health care and desalination for mohammed bin solomon it was almost business as usual bernard smith al-jazeera. just before we move on you know the inside story team's been doing a tremendous job on the show to story pretty much every day since the story broke their most recent edition was this one about the global response to casualties killing and whether enough was being demanded of the saudi leadership sammy said and in the state for that one you can find inside story as ever in the show's section at al jazeera dot com and you can get in touch with us as well contact details are coming up on screen now hash tag a.j. newsgroup i've heard from an hour who has said as we discuss the issue of arms sales as it sadly arms sales override human rights for so many countries who seem to champion human rights and a good question here from deborah as we go back to the core of this whole issue she said what is the real reason for murdering khashoggi what secrets did he have that frightened mohamed bin salman so much as to blatantly murder him when we know he opposed a lot of what mohamed bin salman said and this is a fight that has become him and we say three weeks later still no body still no definitive answers about what happened a.j. english on twitter if you want to reply to our thread there or hit the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera and you can comment there. we are going to move on to some other news now and a bomb squad experts in new york are investigating a suspicious package which had been addressed to the actor robert de niro is not known if it's linked to the mail bombs that were delivered to leading democrats including former presidents barack obama bill clinton also former surgery state hillary clinton and c.n.n. the news channels are received a suspicious package donald trump initially condemned the attacks or attempted attacks as despicable political violence but then he recently tweeted this is a very big part of the anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the mainstream media that's what he refers to as fake news it's gotten so bad and hateful it is beyond description mainstream media must clean up its act fast patty culhane monitoring developments for us from washington d.c. maybe you can tell us about the most recent packages but also the response to that tweet. exactly now why is the president attacking the media saying they are to blame for this well let's take a look at who is being targeted there are two new packages that have been discovered just this morning joe biden former vice president joe biden two packages found at a delaware maryland center were aimed at him robert de niro obviously a very prominent figure actor and also critic of president donald trump basically everyone on that list is pretty much everyone who president trump has personally attacked so people a lot of people are pointing the finger at him saying this is what happens when you attack people when you get the rhetoric of violence this is the next logical step he's pushing back and saying that it's the media and we're hearing from one of the people who was targeted john brennan former cia director a package sent to c.n.n. and was addressed to him although he actually works for m.s.n. b.c. he put out this tweet saying stop blaming others look in the near your inflammatory rhetoric insults lies encouragement of physical violence are just grateful clean up your act try to act presidential the american people deserve much better by the way your critics will not be intimidated into silence so the whole backdrop of this is the fact that there's a midterm election on november sixth that is critical to the future of the country and the trump presidency so we've seen democrats say this is the president's fault the he's the reason this is happening in your scene his base push back and say no actually it's the democrats that have the media that have created such a toxic culture that has allowed this to happen thank you for that update. on twitter if you want to connect with her. moving to other news a fios be a has its first female president. is an experienced diplomat she's taking office as part of a wider reshuffle by the ethiopian prime minister. which is seen one of the world's first. balanced cabinets. and. i sallied day to day when i started my work as ethiopian federal democratic president i found to fulfill my duty faithfully and the prime minister's chief of staff fits america tweeted this in a patriarchal society such as ours he admits that the appointment of a female head of state not only sets the standard for the future but also normalizes women as decision makers in public life now her appointment is the latest as you say in a series of reforms under this new prime minister. most significantly he agreed to deal with neighboring eritrea to restore diplomatic and trade ties after a twenty year border conflict i became prime minister in april at forty one he's the country's youngest ever leader and while the president's role is largely ceremonial as one he's appointed today he did also appoint the first female defense minister as part of this gender balanced cabinet jailed opposition politicians and journalists have also been freed but has had to handle protests in rome or ethiopia's largest province he sent federal troops to the area last month to stem the increasing violence against minority groups that just gives you an idea of how much he has been up to your highness good and was with us now lecture of political science at georgia going to college a specialist on the horn of africa and ethiopia he is in atlanta georgia nice to see you this these this appointment of the president and the other ones in the cabinet it is not just window dressing here is that he's doing this for the right reasons and it seems to be a very popular move. absolutely thank you for having me well mr electing the kind of individuals that he thinks are very much fit and well deserving of his positions so he has to up his you know these political parties the source woman who became members of the cabinet are very much the best candidates within the political party not really in the entire society so i think there are issues of confidence there but hopefully will be proven wrong there as for sally works out there herself how important how significant is her appointment for women in ethiopia particularly young women i know the president your role is largely ceremonial but still to see a woman in that head of state role. this is huge this is momentous and i believe that this individual miss our lower order is very very qualified she started his or her diplomatic service to the nation in one nine hundred eighty nine which tells you that she actually was an ambassador to the few countries to be present in her country but in the military regime so when the new p.r. if iraq began in one thousand nine hundred one that actually so her her her potential interview the nation and they kept her within their ranks and beyond that she definitely could bring i think is two things one is show her shawl be very much a role model sure inspire women it is a country very much like in sub-saharan africa there is huge pregnancy more early to mortality rate access to women is very very much limited so her inspiring in this parish in a little will not be understated in any way and to date when she accepted her that when in her acceptance speech she definitely mentioned are lots of this issues and definitely this will be significant and the other important role i believe will be this administration led by a prime minister. of course even if her role is not political like the head of the government which is prime minister i.v. she could definitely bring in her diplomatic experience process so definitely she could be a very good consultant and beyond just a well coming in seeing of ambassadress she could actually make the office of the president very much eleven to one so it's definitely we can expect a lot from from her in that regard great to get your thoughts your highness good armor joining us from atlanta georgia. now from kill university in the u.k. has written this opinion piece for al-jazeera come very positive piece where he says this new gender balance cabinet in ethiopia is sending a key clear message that the patriarchy can be beige and it is good background for you you'll find it in the opinion section the power of ethiopia's gender balanced cabinets. this is the news good if you're watching us on facebook live to get an x. ray jackpot story coming up for you know about starbucks in the u.s. opening its first cafe that caters especially the deaf people and then later nato is the biggest war game since the end of the cold war fifty thousand military personnel participating in these exercises in norway and we are there as well. how i was still going to a lot of disturbed weather across the middle east over the next couple of days so this area cloud just spilling out of the black sea across a good part of turkey last draining its way down into syria lebanon jordan can also catch wanted to shout the west the weather will make its way through a swiss a broad disguise to come back a bit high cold enough in ankara but even making it into double figures nine cells is the top temperature here than on friday afternoon not too bad round the eastern side of the met by routes twenty two degrees but you see the cloud and the right it will make its way into iraq some heavy burst of right there will inevitably be some localized flooding and notice further north possibility some snow just around the caucasus come further south could see a little bit of wet weather around the arabian peninsula as well hopefully not as bad as it was last week but you see this area cloud just lingering around caught see a few spots of rain squeezed out of that as we go on through saturday friday should be largely dry temperatures here at

there is other news out there we're actually just saying in the break it's. really taken over the news agenda for so long but there's plenty more out there fake news racism and bombs fear and loathing in trump's america more in the attic i miss cummings a little bit to have a look ahead to al jazeera dot com go to the what's trending section find something new and different to rate this. the largest nato war game since the one nine hundred eighty s. beginning in norway troops from thirty one countries have weeks of military exercises ahead of them. it was a month after russian and chinese forces have their largest ever joint drills moscow hasn't taken kindly to all of this warning it could be forced to respond to increased nature activity near its west in border alex get topless is there in trondheim in norway he sent us this this is the first day of nato as war games here in the host country norway an exercise in combined arms it involves an army element training for things like river crossings and fitness assaults there are more aerial battles in the skies above and there are naval exercises in the surrounding sea is now no way is no stranger to conflicts as can be seen here in kosovo christianson built in the seventeenth century here in trying time to fend off the then enemy sweden while no way is doing no is training with its partners to make sure that they can prevail in any future conflict now yesterday we gave you an idea of the whereabouts of the thousands of central american migrants continuing their march towards the united states we'll show you again here i've got the google earth here as we zoom in and it's just a reminder that they are a long way away from the u.s. border states still sixteen hundred kilometers to go currently down here never have a step or when they arrive and that could be weeks away to be honest many say they would apply for asylum though they're also say they're fleeing gang violence and corruption remember the midterm elections in the u.s. are less than two weeks away and this humanitarian challenge has become a real political crisis for the white house rob reynolds looking at that. as thousands of migrants from central america make their way north preparations are underway in san diego the largest port of entry in the u.s. and driv guerrero directs the immigrant's rights group alliance san diego we have a robust shelter network on the other side of the border and we have a robust service network here on this side of the border and so we will be coordinating with our sister are going to say sions to provide assistance where needed once the migrants reach the border they can apply for asylum as refugees under international law under u.s. law anyone who presents themselves at a port of entry and asks for protection. must be provided an opportunity to present their case immigrants rights lawyer elizabeth come out gives migrants in detention free legal representation but most have no attorneys to represent them in a confusing legal process you're talking cultural differences you're talking with differences you're talking legal concepts even if they understand that they are fleeing for might not be able to articulate in the legal terms that me those requirements advocates with years of experience dealing with central american migrants agree on one they're coming all of them share one thing in common they are fleeing the violence in their home country this is where the us mexico border plunges into the pacific ocean now the migrants are still hundreds of kilometers away from this spot but here on this side of the border president donald trump is using them to score political points ahead of the u.s. midterm election he says many of the migrants are hardened criminals and that they somehow represent a kind of national emergency trump falsely claims the opposition democratic party encourages migrants and wants completely open borders trump is using it and using vulnerable people to advance his own political agenda u.s. agencies say over the past twelve months most people detained at the border were parents with children or children traveling alone now many more are on their way robert oulds al jazeera at the us mexico border. bear with us we have a very long satellite delay to join holeman who is in step back and the state of chiapas john is going to show us around what's happening there hi john. i let me just tell you about what's happening now we've got just a few people remember this caravan has come all the way from honduras and we're now in southern mexico so waiting to pick up a ride just by the side you can see some microsoft says they could hear combi which are taking people on board so now the dynamic of this current van has really changed the pictures you were seeing before of people will converse distances on foot now instead people have taken this sort of transport they have to pay about two and a half dollars for. their big give a ride for a lot of willing people from the mexican population that are really chipping in to try and help and what that means is that they can cover distances a lot faster to get through mexico but it's still going to be we estimate at least a month or so before they hit the u.s. border the president trump is already been tweeting a lot about this has been saying and it's been unproved that there's been people from the middle east has been people from m.s. thirteen one of the gangs in central america that there's been hinting that there's been terrorists in this group he's already said that he wants to send the military down to the border and we understand that he sent a request for troops to go down to the us mexico border now they're not going to be arresting him detaining people they need the permission of congress to do that they're going to be helping out the moment with administrative duties but it still sends a message and that message is coming just before the crucial midterm elections coming up in just a couple of weeks in the united states and this issue the caravan the optics of a mass of people trying to get to the united states is really playing heavy in those elections and president trump is talking about it every day it's become quite a potent weapon for him great stuff from john homan alongside the migrant caravan there in mexico. now every year huge amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere it is adding to this growing threat of climate change which we all hear about but what if we could simply recycle all that wasted c o two and turn it into something useful well international researchers say they have come up with new technology that will do just that and while the idea isn't new finding a way that is commercially viable is that start with this for many on a home and. imagine a world where carbon emissions aren't waste with a cub and outside will c o two being pumped into the atmosphere is a resort something we recycle to make plastic to heat our homes even convert into energy and while we already have this technology the cost of capturing that c o two has far outweighed anything we might get from it until now here's how it works carbon dioxide and water h two o. a hitch with an electric current at one end you get oxygen guess at the other carbon dioxide is electro chemically reduced to compounds such as carbon monoxide researches at stanford university of focusing on the next stage reducing that cut the monoxide to make valuable products we need like acetate used in photography fabrics and food if the lame the rule material used to make the most commonly used plastic polyethylene and liquid fuels it's the norm and probe to know what's different here is the modified design new technology that can make products a thousand times more concentrated than before and collect it more efficiently that brings us closer to a more cost effective and commercially viable process the research team is working with message to see how excited exiled by astronauts might be converted into nutrients to be used in space and scientists are looking at scaling up the prototype the advances offer tend to lies in possibilities a world where c o two is captured as it submitted or extracted from the atmosphere it's been polluting a world where c o two is a resource not the troublesome carbon waste that's been warming our planet. really interesting isn't it we've got phil de luna with us now on skype from toronto he is a renewable energy specialist and a finalist for what is known as the carbon x. prize so perfectly placed to talk with us phil. i know nothing about the science behind this that's what i'm hoping you can tell us a bit more about it but it does seem to be a simple sort of process you hitting it with electricity and it is creating new usable compounds it is simple as that yeah exactly that's exactly right we really this technology takes its inspiration from nature we already know that plants can take carbon dioxide sunlight water and make sugar for itself to survive so this technology is really using renewable electricity and electrons from any source and taking water and c o two hitting it with those electrons and electrical current and then converting it into fuels and feedstocks that we can use so the key is to make it commercially viable right if this can be done in developed countries where there is a lot of pollution it could make potentially huge difference can it be commercially viable in your view. absolutely i mean the carbon express is an example of this which is as you said it's a twenty million dollars competition to capture and convert the most c o two so there are lots of companies that are just starting to become commercialized looking at capturing c o two out there from a flu stack and or point emission source or from the atmosphere and then using energy in electricity to convert that into something we can use it's tremendously powerful especially in places like remote locations or in developing countries where you could take that waste that pollution and turn into fuel so when that recent u.n. report came out giving us the sort of dooms day of the year twenty thirty where it was all going to get a whole lot worse i hear people saying the best thing you can really do is plant more trees just keep planting as many trees as possible i mean that's a great idea is the is this is this more effective than that. the trees are fantastic option for sure the only problem is that it takes years and years for a car or trees to sequester the amount of c o two that it does this technology is orders of magnitude faster and more efficient and is able to take let's say ten thousand trees the power of that conversion of carbon dioxide and squish it down to maybe about the size of a refrigerator so that's really what we're talking about here being able to do things using with cereals and electrochemistry that nature would just take far too long to do great to hear some good positive news about climate changes in a field in a thank you for explaining all of that to us thank you for having me now it looks like india's me too movement is here to stay while the media and entertainment industry is still shaken by sexual harassment allegations the country's government is now looking to tighten sexual harassment laws revealing to us that that's right come all we have been following the story for a few weeks now and looks like india's need to movement is a turning point for the country and his government says it's taking action after a number of women poses complaints on social media the government to setting up a ministerial panel to tighten sexual harassment rules and also looking to strengthen existing laws dealing with sexual harassment of women in the workplace well name accredit has been on the front line of india's need to fire storm but she says that the initiative by the government is not enough. i think it's a step in that i'm not action but i don't think it's in my house we need to involve women activists lawyers not me because policymakers who have dealt in this this is their area of interest they were going section usman workplace harassment or not those sorts of gender violence and they believe in this and we need to get their expertise and really make the foundation strong and make sure this is not a one off thing and for us to come to generations can benefit from this that women are still sharing their stories using the same hash tag and others are blaming prime minister the interim o.g.a. of not doing enough this comes weeks off to dozens of women accused high profile personalities from the media and the entertainment industry of sexual harassment only last week the journalist turned politician and they akbar resigned as external affairs minister he is currently the most prominent figure to have been brought down by the movement so far we will continue to follow the debate of me too in india and also want to hear from you and find out whether you think the government is currently doing enough to deal with sexual harassment is the hash tag aging is great thank you we're here you know really great that we do stick with these stories and keep coming back to them but once again for friends what her first book was about a story for you know it's about how in indonesia to reach you can take a bus ride by paying with plastic and then paul is here with sportsman biles been some star quality on to the gymnastics world championships here in qatar first start quick look at some international. police is here disappointingly not wearing his leotard but i'm still very sorry come all worse news for the next week you're not the biggest star in arguably one of the best athletes in the world is here in qatar for the world champs gymnastics championships among biles is anchoring team usa in the meet and drawing major attention online assures does byles is the top trend when it comes to all things gymnastics these days you can see why she lights up the internet with have podium training and sticking the move named after her on the vault and every day day since team usa arrived in doha they featured their famed leotards i might get one of those yes call on instagram today's look inspired by disney's frozen but off the mark the u.s. has been struggling after a sex abuse scandal that has left the country's national gymnastics federation in a mess. at least. caleb and one of the athletes coaches posted this saying all real life rainbows after the storm so hell maalik has more from doubt. she's the biggest star in gymnastics. the u.s. the simone was the lit up rio twenty sixteen winning four gold medals and won bronze and she's in qatar for the artistic gymnastics world championships looking for even more success i'm really excited i think our team as a whole was shine a lot of light at this competition and hopefully will bring back some medals in. will make memories. as took a year long break from competition after the olympics she's picked up from where she left off since her return becoming the first woman to win five u.s. national all around title of the northwest. and in doha she'd be leading a team with far less experience to take on the world's best american team is training behind me simone balls of course is the headline act she'll have the chance to get six medals here in doha will give a boost to the hole in the country and particularly american gymnastics back in the headlines for the right reasons. the image of usa gymnastics has been tainted by the sex abuse scandal involving former team doctor larry nasir who's been sentenced to more than three hundred years in jail because you are guilty and since then the national governing body has faced heavy criticism for not taking serious steps to reform and implement changes to ensure their gymnasts are protected sufficiently they've also had a crisis of leadership earlier this month interim president mary bono resigned just days into her job making for high ranking officials to leave in the last six months right now we have people that really are not a in tune with what really is happening within our community and what has happened and they're refusing to make really really huge changes which no one is going to move forward until we do now by as was one of nearly one hundred sixty women who accused of sexual abuse the twenty one year old has that speaking about what happened to her was empowering and she feels now that she has the responsibility to be a role model in doha however i was and the team had been told to focus strictly on competing well you know the for her to compete gymnastics so all the other stuff we don't care about we don't talk about every day we focus on what the plan is from workout to workout we really take it one workout at a time we know we have good experience and sort of chances of finishing in the top three are good the u.s. women's biggest competition at these championships is likely to come from china and russia what's on likely though is that anyone gymnast will outshine bottoms so he'll malick al-jazeera. well i like this is new to the middle east and since it's in our backyard we sent back down there to tell us what it means for the region. for a news grid it's the home market i'm coming to you from a pretty exciting part timer and this is the distinct enough to destroy time pick that you find them and once it's such a big deal for the first time counter or the mideast even hosting this event and it comes just before a really really pivotal moment for this region you've got to come to twenty twenty two world cup coming up not too far away let's explore championships is next year so it's really pressure to get things right on this occasion for the local organizers not just that i mean there's going to be serious local flavor to the moment whilst the biggest star at the competition is apparently going to go through routine out there to arabic music in the middle east our music so that's something really intriguing to look forward to and will be plenty of fans from across region to country a few dance group operation from paul clinton our countries surrounding cutter caused by g.e. made it pretty easy to qualify there was a serious qualification process if you registered with the organization base you could alter meant to qualify for it if you wanted to kiss me plenty of local paper nights below the seats around me be pretty full as we head into the weekend. now the top of front says prine are primarily known for yes cycling but also for showcasing the stunning french countryside the course for twenty nine thousand was released just a few hours ago next year's route will include a course through some of the lesser known parts of the country as well it showcases a state from the bagatelle area of toulouse now bagatelle is a low income suburb all year this type of area being included by the tall for the first time talking line is that this is striking a blow for neglected populations has paris by sports journalist david cross and with more. france is an incredibly scenic country and the three week long tour de france is the perfect showcase for all the country has to offer but there has been this feeling that the tour needs to become more inclusive after all it is probably the greatest free to watch event that takes place in the sports world and that's why i think it is really important that when the tour goes through to lose it will go through the back attell districts where those there are those high rise blocks where people live that you see in so many of the french cities in the suburbs and i think that that will stamp even further the impression that the tour de france is for everyone in this country now from an innovation in the tour de france to an innovation in the world of water sports could be a really crucial breakthrough this one as well here's austin keen showing us how to wake surf on an upturned coffee table get a good use out of the legs for staring there and eisley vanish surface really allowing the table to slide over the waves austin here is a skim boarding world champion if you know what that is not confirmed as yet if you got the table back home in time for take. sunit we'll be back with more sports eight hundred g.m.t. for now and you got to come all thank you mr a so much appreciate it i will do it for this newsgroup if you want to keep in touch with us you know how to do it hashtag a j news on twitter facebook whatsapp that number also work on telegram a few years back and we'll see you back here studio fourteen at al-jazeera fifteen hundred hours g.m.t. tomorrow.
