last thursday urging member countries to ban the sale of weapons and surveillance technology to saudi arabia. after the death of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. the resolution also call for an independent investigation into the killing. here is some of the debate from strasbourg france which took place before the vote was held. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: which means we can now move on to the next point on our agenda. this is the statement by the vice president of the commission and the high representative of the unit for foreign affairs and security policy on the killing of journalists jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: well, will allow the vice president to get into her place. we wait a couple of minutes. so when you're ready, madam. >> mr. president, thank you all for having decided to put this issue on the agenda of your plenary today. i think it's an extremely poor for the parliament to have its voice heard on this. let me start by saying something basic and very clear that a think we have to start from.

about relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia. this is one hour. >> good morning. i am executive director. i would like to welcome all of .ou to this briefing let me start by setting the , raising our panelists a few questions and then we will proceed with the program. in terms of byit way of introduction that it is admittedly a somewhat difficult and ascetic task for me -- and sad task for me to hold in this briefing about our friend jamal khashoggi. i have known jamaal, the journalists, as a writer and media consultant and as a saudi civil servant for 30 years. i've dealt with him on many occasions here and in washington when he visited the states. and in the kingdom of saudi arabia during my frequent visits into riyadh and other places in the kingdom. jamal was always a gentleman, a keen analyst on middle east and islamic affairs, articulate early interested in u.s.-saudi bilateral relations, which we discussed almost every time we met. and, equally important, if not more important, a consistent advocate for basic freedoms and human rights, not only in saudi arabia, but throug

saudi arabia well this is why we need an investigation and one that is transparent and independence the world is outraged governments as well have expressed their concerns about the saudi arabian investigation. separation of lower eighty's try and be in a position to request that the u.n. secretary general setup an investigation led by the un and it's absolutely crucial that this happens given that we have allies of the saudi arabian government like the u.k. and us who are cowering in the face of economic deals security deals this is why we need the u.n. to step up now and launch an investigation so that a generous killing is not shrugged under the carpet. is stitched up and some cover up some hide it is middle east director of campaigns it honesty international we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed. still ahead on al-jazeera give us the final say huge crowds fill london's streets demanding a second bragg's of votes. desperation at the border thousands of people continue to make theirs show march through central america to seek a better life in the usa. we've got a fair

the first time the us president appears to hint at the possible involvement of saudi crown prince mohammed bin. and revoking the visas of murder suspects the first sanctions by the u.s. government are imposed. has been a shift in tone from the u.s. president about the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi inside the kingdom's istanbul consulate for the first time since he died three weeks ago donald trump has suggested crown prince may have been involved called riyadh's handling of the murder the worst coverup ever and his administration now plans to ban twenty one suspects from entering the u.s. more from mike hanna in washington d.c. for the first time a tone of president trump's remarks we have a very big. original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups versus a. bad deal should have never been thought of. somebody really messed up and they had the worst cover all ever. and were chittister is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble late i

so at this point it doesn't seem that it's the end of the story the saudis will have to fight back will continue to i think it's a very rare case when the sheer fact. of the killing or of the murder is less egregious. you know this dismemberment callousness. if mr. resurfaces piece a cynical as it may sound coming from me do you think it would provide some sort of relief if not exoneration for the saudi authorities this point i don't think it's going to be a sort of relief for the saudis the sheer fact that they were not able to produce the body in the sheer fact that they were determined to get rid of the body that is already terrible enough to. put a lot of pressure on them politically this story has a very determined for sure at this point president. turkey who security services continue leaking the most blood curdling details without providing any public evidence or releasing the tape that they keep referencing why do you think turkey so pushing to come up with the charges this reserved and releasing all the evidence i think the strategy. for the saudis and for the americans i

job creation is an urgent concern the oil production itself is controlled by state owned saudi aramco reportedly the most profitable company in the world but nobody really knows because despite plans to sell off some of it on public markets the books remain a secret in two thousand and seventeen saudi arabia produced twelve million barrels of oil per day so let's say the kingdom withholds a few million barrels prices would go up but that would hurt the global economy which wants to move away from fossil fuels its biggest customers would look elsewhere for a long term supply and it would all end up being an own goal you certainly don't want to destroy your only income before you plan to diversify your economy and this should be in the wake of the job the crisis the country had issued a veiled threat that it could use oil to retaliate against any sanctions but then the saudi oil minister stepped in to soothe investors if there are. any disruptions which you know from from supplies of especially with their own sanctions grooming then we will continue with the mindset we have now which is

to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. saudi arabia reverses days of denials admitting the journalist. was killed in its istanbul consulate during a fistfight. i think it's a very important first step. donald trump says the saudi explanation sounds credible but others in washington are finding it hard to believe. i'm sammy's a dand with full coverage of saudi arabia's acknowledgment of the killing the kingdom says it has fired several intelligence officials and arrested eighteen suspects over the death controversial crown prince one hundred been sandman is being tasked with overhauling the country's spy agencies. more than weeks after he went missing saudi arabia has admitted that journalist. was killed inside its consulate in istanbul the acknowledgement announced in the middle of the night on saudi state television comes seventeen days after the show jay was last seen going into that building riyadh claims there was a brawl inside and that he died during the fight five top saudi officials have been sacked among them a senior intellig

the saudis the president is reluctant to do that but he may be cornered the president has signaled that he wants to wait would rather not punish saudi arabia with severe sanctions but if congress disagrees it's likely the president will not have the final say. al-jazeera washington or any of the world's major newspapers a critical of saudi arabia's version of events the times of london describes the admission as the greatest embarrassment of saudi arabia's modern history the new york times raises questions about saudi arabia's various explanations about what happened to. pointing out that they initially said that he'd left the consulate alive and well the washington post which a shock she wrote for says the new account may do little to ease international demands for the kingdom to be held accountable and the u.k.'s guardian newspaper in reporting the alleged fights and arrests says the saudi government appears to be trying to insulate crown prince mohammed and his son protect his position. well have much more coverage shortly and the rest of the day's news including afghans closing

firesign, before we get to the future of us saudi relations, your thoughts on the latest on the investigation into the disappearance of jamaal casualty, the news outlets reporting today that the saudi's suspected in the killing have ties to security services in that country your thoughts this morning as the investigation continues . >> what we're seeing is a steady drip of new information about what happened in the room, who the individuals were. as you said, i think press is reporting this morning based on information that gotten from the turks as well as their own investigation that many of the individuals involved had some kind of link directly to mohammed bin salman which will make the oissue more challenging to come up with an explanation that doesn't involve the crown prince directly. >> the president tweeting that the crown prince denied any knowledge of what happened at the council it. he was with secretary of state mike pompeo during that call.the president said he told me he's already started and will expand the complete investigation into this matter. i answers will b

i think the strategy. for the saudis and for the americans i think is sort of building up his game gradually hoping that he could get something in return politically from the americans here so we were going to see what it's going to result but my problem with his strategy is that the longer he waits. the saudis and the americans are determined to give something back to the turks now present himself is hardly. a human rights there are numerous reports of his own security services being implicated in the kidnapping of turkish nationals have brought there are numerous reports of people dying in turkish jail waiting for. some time. on the end do you think there is any person. it's possible. that could be the case. of human rights maybe that's one of the one of the elements of his trying to whitewash image a little bit with the west and is clearly working because a lot of the media outlets a lot of politicians in the west are taking his claims at face value so that is clearly working towards the benefit of the moment whatever was planned i'm still. carried out because turkey and saudi a

responsible and number two they would like the body of the saudis to say that he has been handed over to a local collaborator the turkish insist they need to know who is that band and where is the body so. is the saudi general prosecutor he's the man who issued the most important statements over the last few days basically about the arrest of the eighteen suspects and also about saying that the killing of the model how serious it was premeditated which was a dramatic shift in the saudi narrative about the case of the amount of houses i think the judicial aspect of the stories definitely going to top the agenda of the sunday and the turkish prosecutors when they meet today meanwhile as we were hearing a few moments ago international pressure on the saudi arabians shows few signs of easing action. and this could be a signal that it is definitely going to be the face mounting international pressure that could force the saudis third into coming out and giving a detailed account about what happened now we've seen that shift in the narrative from this was a brawl that went terribly wro

that missing journalist jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate. saudi arabia considers issuing a statement that he was killed in error during an interrogation gone wrong that's according to u.s. media. alonzo raman you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha also on the program the largest armed group in syria's it live province stays put in a buffer zone despite a deadline set by turkey and russia and predictions of a race of superhumans on the colonization of foreign planets seven months after his death stephen hawking makes waves with the release of his final four is. a source from the turkish attorney general's office has told al jazeera that they found evidence missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the sunday consular office in istanbul turkish investigators were finally allowed into the building thirteen days after the show g.'s disappearance earlier a saudi team and to the compound in what's being billed a joint investigation has learned that the investigation results will be announced in two to three days u.s. media report

>>> u.s. president donald trump promises a severe punishment if saudi arabia killed missing journalist jamal khashoggi. >>> from detention overseas to the oval office. an american pastor meets and prays for president trump. >>> and rescuers trying to reach people trapped after hurricane michael. why they say they still cannot reach all those who need help. >>> from the cnn center, we're live in atlanta. i'm cyril vanier. it's great to have you with us. >>> so u.s. president donald trump says he soon expects to see the evidence turkey claims to have about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi kans lat in istanbul on october 2nd. here's the video. here's what mr. trump told the cbs news show "60 minutes" if it turns out khashoggi was killed. >> there's a lot at stake, and maybe especially so because this man was a reporter. there's something -- you'll be surprised to hear me say that. there's something really terrible and disgusting about that if that were the case. so we're going to have to see. we're going to get to

start by asking you about this statement that king solomon of saudi arabia has ordered the restructuring of the kamandi of the general intelligence agency and that restructuring is to be done under the supervision of the crown prince mohammed bin some on the message appears to be quite clear from riyadh the way absolve him completely of playing any role in the killing of khashoggi. i don't believe this is acceptable i mean i do not necessarily blame the saudis for trying to put a good face on this crisis it's a major crisis it's an existential crisis for saudi arabia the fact that they have come to terms with the fact that our friend. has been killed at the saudi consulate . in istanbul although they say. during a struggle whatever that struggle means when a killing squad fifteen people attacked one person i wouldn't call that a struggle or a fight that was an attempt to assassinate him to start with but at any rate you know it's good that the saudi government is. finally accepting the facts but i would say i would take the steps essentially as a first step in the right dir

patter of pushing. blame away from the saudi government especially from the dense and trying to see which would make the award let them go so they are used to use their checkbook to get out of trouble it seems it's not working i'm sure they were willing to pay whatever president trump point to take this away but it didn't work that way so now they're trying something new or they have to say something so they're trying to lie their way out of it i think may have been said man is in a big trouble and they think your man wouldn't stop and even have saudi arabia become like north korea he wouldn't careless he wore that chair he want to be the king and that interview he said i will say as a king for fifty years nothing will stop me except that we have to notice this fifty year haven't begun yet so as so the people we have. a life sentence to do with this criminal unfortunately. president trump has a lot to lose following saudi arabia's actions he wanted a quick resolution his earlier comments suggested big steps are being taken to solve the investigation but now he's changed his tone is

teen attackers were saudi there have been congressman who have long agitated for action against the saudis the whole furor over the classified portion of the nine eleven report which is about saudi arabia in recent years there have been some congressman relative few who have been agitated by the saudi led intervention in the yemen civil war and so there have been recurrent calls to hold up arms sales to saudi and indeed a small amount of arms has been put on hold even before the murder but you balance that sentiment in congress with a nother factor and that is that the trepan ministration has put its cards all in for regime change in iran and you cannot pursue regime change in iran which turns especially upon economic measures unless the saudis support you because you need saudi oil to cover the shortfall of iranian oil being basically curbed by sanctions so saudi still has a leverage as long as the trumpet ministration wants to go against iran wants regime change the saudis can come back to washington and say look are you going to choose the iranians are you going to choose us well

evidence that saudi arabia is actually spending anywhere close to that amount of money for many members of congress they say it's not about the money they say the saudis story just doesn't add up their story doesn't pass the smell test and i think it's high time for congress to recalibrate our relationship with saudi arabia close advisor to the president to senator lindsey graham seemed to point the finger at mohammed bin solomon in this tweet writing first we were told mr khashoggi supposedly left the consulate and there was a blanket denial of any saudi involvement now a fight breaks out and he's killed in the consulate all without knowledge of crown prince the president has made clear he wants to talk to the crown prince he wants to wait for more facts many in congress say it's time to act and the outrage in the united states is mounting the circumstances here are horrifying and the pressure from congress is going to be very great particularly now with an election coming up members of congress going to fall over each other trying to be the toughest in the loudest in saying we have got t

this squad who came to assassinate. and mr marotta had nineteen phone calls with saudi arabia during the during the couple of hours that he led to the new stumble and he left after leaving becomes late and the turkish sources told us that four of these phone calls were done to private secretary mohammad. so there is no doubt that these gentlemen have direct links with the mohammad if mohammed bin some on is not a voyeur of any of this incident or preplanned murder the wife come cimarron to which the ball is all the more times in just a couple of hours so these are the questions to be answered now many many questions still remains and costello thank you so much and ankara. and just a bit ago we heard from president donald trump pedicle hain joins me live from washington with more on that he said a lot of things that we had heard before but some new things as well so what. the president said. it was just a coincidence i think that the president was spending the day touring some of the u.s. weapons that are produced and really for him from the beginning of this it is been all abo

inside story on so much of africa. american pressure growing on saudi arabia over missing journalists. president donald trump says he's worried and the u.s. secretary of state is urging the kingdom to support a thorough investigation. geishas of murder be a turning point in relations between yeah lies this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm had up that hamid a week after his mysterious disappearance of saudi arabia's consulate in turkey u.s. leaders are voicing their fears for. donald trump says he's concerned the vice president says he's troubled by the disappearance and america's top diplomat mike is are ging saudi allies to be open about what happened stephanie decker has more from istanbul . it's an ominous image. on security camera video entering the saudi concert last tuesday his fiance who accompanied him to the consulate is verified it is the last time he has been seen in public just a few days ago the saudi journalist spoke to b.b.c. radio here of an of a list of a friend who did. nothing worth to be at risk to make me feel i'm talking that frie

, "newsroom" starts right now. >>> 4:00 a.m. on the east coast. and saudi arabia now admits what has long been suspected. jamal khashoggi died when inside the saudi consulate in istanbul on october 2nd. >> according to saudi media, so this is the government of saudi arabia, he died after getting into an argument and fist fight with more than one dozen saudi officials. here is how the news broke on state tv. are. >> translator: the investigation showed that primary discussions was inside the consulate of the saudi arabia was not carried out in the proper way which led to arguments and hand to hand fight with the officials and jamal khashoggi which exacerbated the situation that led to his death. >> and the white house was quick to embrace the saudi narrative. when asked whether he found the explanation to be credible, the president had this to say. >> i do. i mean, it is again early. we haven't finished our review or investigation. but i think it is a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen. >> that from the white house. and now to the regi

. also coming up this hour, after a string of high-profile dropouts from saudi arabia's flagship investment conference, we'll tell you who is still going to the event in our business update. that and more here on life in paris. - live from paris. >> good to have you with us. he promised to reveal the naked truth. the turkish president has spoken out about the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi, telling him that the killing was a assassination planned in advance. he's demanding saudi arabia provide answers but didn't go as far as directly blaming the country'ss leadership.p. ankara says it has strong evidence "the washington post" journalist was murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul on the second of october. >> the information and the evidence that we have collected so far indicates that jamal could showingy was -- could brutally khashoggi was murdered. we expect all those to be brought to justice and punished accordingly. there are strong indications the incident was not an accident that broke out unexpectedly but rather the result of a planned operation. >> more o

saudi journalist, one involving his killing inside the saudi consulate in istanbul at the hands of a team organized by a high-ranking saudi intelligence officer with close ties to the inner circle of the kingdom's crown prince, mohammed bin salman. one of our sources describes what he or she says may have been an accidentally lethal injection followed by what is described as an amateur cover-up which included according to another source efforts to keep the saudi government in the dark. yet even as chilling and damning as that sounds, the question remains is that just a cover story forring? far worse and potentially more damaging on the world stage? was jamal khashoggi murdered by a hit team and then as a turkish official told us today, was his body cut into pieces to be disposed of in ways as yet unknown or unrevealed? there is certainly a lot to raise suspicion. remember, yesterday cnn saw a cleaning crew enter the consulate before turkish investigators went in. remember also that turkish investigators once they got inside said they found evidence of some kind of cleanup, includin

in last eight hundred days meant that he's actually blown away the saudi narrative out of the water that nobody's taking that with any kind of seriousness at all. yes i think that's right and as the previous guest in new jersey quite rightly stated that in situations such as this it's the cover up which is a bigger issue than the act itself and the fact the saudis came out with a number of different positions fundamentally undermines their position and i think there is some criticism to be made of president trump as well for for initially accepting the saudi. position without looking into further course he said he wanted to see evidence and that's positions taken. and of course he will reserve his position going forward but i think that the position that has now been set by by turkey three presidents speech very very clearly states that the response by by the saudis is uncredible and as a result of that there is no confidence in allowing the saudis to investigate prosecute this themselves because let's bring in stephen what he said to do is bring in steve rogers hey you had toby the

journalist jamal khashoggi. moments ago he said he spoke to the king of saudi arabia and is immediately sending secretary of state mike pompeo there to speak with him in person. the king denies any knowledge of khashoggi's fate. earlier, he laid out what could be called the trump doctrine. in "60 minutes" last night he said bad actions, up to and including murder don't matter as long as they don't happen to americans. >> do you agree that vladimir putin is involved in assassinations, in poisonings? >> probably he is, yeah. probably. >> probably? >> probably but i rely on them. it's not in our country. >> but why not -- they shouldn't do it. this is a terrible thing. >> of course they shouldn't do it. >> the president also said he trusts the north korean leader, kim jong-un, personal friendship with kim, excuses for russia and saudi arabia. are these the issues of a trump doctrine. let's start with the khashoggi mystery, if you want to call it that. in this tweet the president, in effect, saying he accepts the saudi leader's denial here, similar to how he was with vladimir putin and elec

thunderstorms throughout the arabian peninsula they are focusing on the western side of saudi for wednesday and probably thursday but you cannot rule out the idea them up if you to the east through possibly bahrain and qatar more likely the u.a.e. mostly course is still going to be a dry picture use the rain has been falling recently in south africa and it's developing again this is a system moving from west to east and as it moves east it will develop and become slow moving so for the suit to east and south to her and probably something mozambique that rain could be persistent maybe for more than one day. arts. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera turkey's president says he believes some sort of game is being played over the murder of. an order to protect someone sources have told al jazeera that the saudis side has handed over testimonies of eighteen suspects being held in the kingdom to turkey a majority of m.p.'s have signed a letter to the president asking for parliament to reconvene the call is being backed by supporters of the ousted prime minister rania wickramasinghe
