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

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

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
