so depending on what kind of support turkey will have from the united states turkey will have a stronger voice to request the extradition of these offer shows. it's not no one can assure that saudi arabia will accept to extradite those people or will can sound be willing to send those people in order to it's. protect his son to get away with this situation but. prisons are down the road that he will be chasing after this case and i have to remind that there is a local election coming up in a couple of months in early two thousand and nineteen if i don't play it fails in this he will be losing in the local elections a lot of credibility this is also another impact that is being tough. thanks very much. joining us today here in the studio and sultan baraka director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the institute so a seven hour meeting between the cia boss and her opposite number so for mr erdogan on his desire for the direction of travel of this is clear but he won't get that unless this external pressure brought to bear on riyadh donald trump. it's true but i actuall

s because turkey believes that unless you get to us on board no matter what turkey does the result of its action will not be very consequential regarding the political career of m.b.'s himself so let's bring into our lives when i was you know the question as well as you know the question gathered he also talked about wanting the eighteen people arrested in saudi arabia to be tried in turkey. that seems to be a deliberate turning up of the heat on saudi arabia put more pressure on them do you think that's right. i think exactly right i think it's not only does it impossible to be trite in turkey he indicated that he can and will go more out of the saudi arabia because he'd he in soon it that is not the does not alter he has and he put some very important question for instance like where is the body who is the local collaborator what is the nature of the relationship of these eighteen people so the question that he paused and he said that remains to be and answered and vault to answer them is very crucial for the evolution of these cases because it's not only who does eighteen people ar

official covering turkey. >>> given your experience with the turkey and your deep understanding of the wider regional order or disorder, as the case may be, how do you explain, or at least assess the developments over the past 24 hours? >> well, the main development i think is the phone call between king salman and president erdogan here. if you note, president erdogan has pretty much stayed out of the news on this one, and he is known for his, shall we say vociferous statements from time to time. so, he's back in. the turkish government, in fact, announced the phone call. they wanted to show something is happening. what could be happening? number one, the fact that it was king salman who got involved rather than bin salman, his son, maybe shows that the king isn't so happy with the mess that his son has gotten saudi arabia into. in washington, we see u.s. senators now turning up the heat. senator marco rubio, in fact, said if the investigation shows that, in fact, drab was responsible, then there will be some form of sanctions. the white house is saying similar things, trying to figur

we'll travel to turkey on wednesday . our correspondent dorian jones he is on the story for us tonight in istanbul good evening to you dorian let's start with the whereabouts of the syrian or the saudi rather consul can we confirm that he has fled the country tonight and do we know what investigators are looking for inside his residence. media have confirmed that he has left the country where he's actually fled or has just been recalled by riyadh it's still unclear. to the death of. they say that the saudi journalist was beaten and interrogated in the. main office at the consulate in the presence of the consul general and then he was subsequently murdered and his body then with dismembered in the in the office of the consul general in itself and these forces coming from turkish sources that say they have to back their claims old of has to be said this is an anonymous source and riyadh is. but it does appear that the investigators are all focusing on these and now his residence possibly looking for the remains of the body

on some cards and lawyers and turkey that casts some doubt on the idealism of turkey as a venue and then second you have the intersection of the issue of a turkish domestic cord but saudis doing activities within a diplomatic enclave and you know people coming in with diplomatic authorities and that's why if you create one of these international tribunals or you were to go to the international criminal court or the international court of justice to resolve this then that international tribunal wouldn't have to deal with these issues of the in their play between domestic turkish law and international law with regard to what can take place in an embassy who has jurisdiction etc there's going to be too many and there intern a turf wars between turkey and saudi arabia if there was a prosecution in turkey and so that's why the fairest the way to get that resolved is the have it in the international tribunal and let me bring you in head and google in on turkey its human rights record what's the will see how they what's the what's for you the real concerns well in terms of turkey i think t

turkey and greece. turkish government ask what hundred million dollars and and then the prime minister says turkish independence economical or otherwise is very very important they say yet again look what they what they do one hundred million dollars they ask the usa to. give you. more importantly. mystery. has been welcomed with a great support and now you see that you see this what kind of. games they have been playing for for this country. and most importantly in other news here america accepts to. lend money to turkey and you see it there. when it comes to a plane and you need a plane man manufacturing well because of to aid from the usa they accepted to stop to manufacture no planes in turkey and you had say told us that look we will provide give it to planes whatever you want why do you need to make them in your own country so all these projects that we had in turkey for a strong offer a better turkey has been stopped with the agreement of the c.h.p. in the past so if those projects hadn't come to

also coming up an american pasta freed from jail in turkey gives the u.s. president his blessing but what a mess. continues for the missing after a landslide and there were at least thinks he one people have died. drought is keeping fields like this one the cows having to be trucked in from a thousand kilometers away a huge expense. for the cost. here as president donald trump has warned saudi arabia of severe punishment if it's found to be responsible for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi saudi janice was last seen entering his country's comes that in istanbul on the second of october the saudis denied plotting to kill and say he left the consulate john hendren reports from washington d.c. . president donald trump is delivering his most serious threat yet to saudi arabia we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment the president's strengthened stance follows turkish intelligence reports that washington post journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered by a saudi arabian hit squad inside the saudi consulate in istanbul leaks to p

opposed turkey's membership to you not because turkey then fulfill. the criteria which was true of course but just from a sort of a very a principal position that turkey was justin belong to you. and that was a big mistake because at that time -- i'd long was actually awful feeling it'll taking positive steps and we the democrats in turkey we need it -- germany's support i think that should not be -- forgotten she is not necessarily. a friend of you know she's also very pragmatic political leadership things about her on a political future and the refugee deal the flex dot. having said that -- there. the what the county crisis i do want to emphasize your bill adeline and his government they're acting like a lease the students you know like a spoiled child. when things go fine? he claims he older credit to himself and to his government and when things go wrong. she blames everybody else that turkeys in the coming crisis it's it's his own fault. and i find it's actually -- this was including sp leadership a germany should actually help turkey. it is his

turkey's as and was very. it's within the framework of the international law to conduct to basically try these people who committed a crime on turkish soil second to i think we are the discussion is not whether the us or in other countries should cut the relation with saudi arabia are not different to the relation is to be revisited but is there any equals to mohamed bin some on is saudi arabia should be reduced to one that is a month because i think what many is saying right now many people are trying to be terrible to make a distinction between one met in san juan and the solid state mohammad is a man and a king someone himself as well true i think here the question should be are we willing to go back to the business as usual with someone more or less all the evidence and that we had before that the gala delay sorry we are out of time thank you very much to all our guests gullit delay saved lodge's and toby cadman and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website a

turkey as well. some 15 years ago sent a unit to kenya and extracted a turkish citizen back because they considered him as a terrorist. the question to the saudi government is to tell the world, what would lead to them if that is the case. eric: we have a lot more on this coming up throughout the half hour. steven nelson and walid phares, a warm homecoming for pastor brunson. certainly heartwarming to see he and his family ratified and relieved that he is back. arthel: is thepresent syllabus the heartwarming homecoming , the president is gearing up for anotherrally . a political rally as we get closer to the midterms. we take a look at where the races stand. it's easy to trust geico! thank you todd. it's not just easy. it's-being-a-master-of-hypnotism easy. hey, i got your text- sleep! doug, when i snap my fingers you're going to clean my gutters. ooh i should clean your gutters! great idea. it's not just easy. it's geico easy. todd, you will go make me a frittata. and back pain made it hard to sleep

how is turkey responding? >> turkey is looking for response from the united states. turkey knows what happened, unfortunately, and the united states needs to step up and help turkey. turkey does not want to be an argument with saudi's, that is why the u.s. should step up. saudi investigation team came to turkey and did a joint investigation team to look for , unfortunately, but it seems that turkey is a long. shery: this also comes at a time when american pastor andrew brunson was freed. that was the main point of friction between the u.s. and turkey. now you have the saudi's and the turks having this huge dispute. saudis have been very close to the u.s. ween both situations, could see a realignment of the different dynamics between the three countries? ali: i think they are separate issues. i do not think there should be a link between the saudi case and pastor brunson -- kevin: but they are linked. ali: they need to have an open dialogue to saudi's issues. i am glad that pastor brunson is on a plane coming back home, so it is a good news for reducing the tension, b

slapped sanctions on turkey, sending the lira into freefall. now, just a few months later, he is free. sarah: we have the latest from istanbul. the pastor has been sentenced but also freed. what more can you tell us? maya: earlier t today, a couours lifted andrew brunson's house arrest and his travel ban and this essentially means he is free to leave turkey and according to his lawyer, this is exactly what he is going t to d. he is on his way to thee u.s. according g to reports. he will be taken by a u.s. military plane to germany to the u.s. airbase there for a medical checkup, and later will continue his way to the u.s.. the pastor himself must have been incredibly relieved. today he was quoted saying, this is the day our family has been praying for. witnesses said he wept as the decision was announced. as you mentioned, he was also found guilty today andnd sentend toto more than thrhree years ofl time on terrorism charges. he does not need to serve this time due to the time he alrereay spent behehind bars,s, but thiss what turkishsh official

i think what is interesting is that turkey, and where turkey fits into this, and you touched on this an hour ago, this murder, which it seems to be, happens in turkey but of course within the saudi arabian embassy, the consulate there. turkey and saudi arabia have got very uncomfortable relations, because turkey supported qatar in the diplomatic row last year, and the saudis have accused turkey of working with iran to build—up their sort of eastern flank on the arabian peninsula. president erdogan of turkey has accused the saudis of being non— islamic and heretical. but the saudis have said there will be no cover—up. there is an awful lot of questions, not least the turkish authorities saying they have footage and a sound recording of what happened to jamal khashoggi. what we saw the need to see what is going on, because it is over two weeks now. and the little temptations of we have this, you are thinking why are we making such a big play on this story? one starting point is they were allowed into the consulate to investigate what actually happened, which is more than we did w

we feel much different about turkey today than we did yesterday. and i think we have a chance of really becoming much closer to turkey maybe even even having a very very good relationship we know the people and as the pastor said these are incredible people the people of turkey are incredible people and i think we have a chance now to really have a great relationship with turkey i hope that it happens ok earlier president trump tweeted that there'd be no form of concession by the united states there was no deal made with turkey for the release and return of pastor andrew branson i don't make deals for hostages he said there was however great appreciation on behalf of the united states which will lead to good perhaps great relations between the united states and turkey. and in a burst of twitter diplomacy the turkish president made clear the release was not a response to u.s. pressure. the turkish judiciary reached its decision independently says president at a one i hope that the united states and turkey will continue their cooperation as the allie

an independent investigation saying eighteen saudis suspected of involvement should be extradited to turkey to stand trial. and are in tears as al jazeera live from london coming up. the saudi king promises action on casualties deaths that shortly before he and the crown prince meet jamal khashoggi son to offer their condolences. to the cia chief in istanbul vice president mike pence vows the killing will not go without an american response. and the turkish investigators may have discovered new clues in the case of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi the discovery of clothes and a suitcase in an abandoned saudi consulate car comes three weeks after he was last seen turkey's president also increased pressure on saudi arabia in an address to parliament richard tire one described ashanti's death as a brutal and premeditated murder at one demanded all those involved from bottom to top to bottom be held accountable for the crime he's called for an independent investigation into the killing and wants eighteen suspects extradited to turkey to stand trial saudi arabia's king solomon has promised to

and turkey. the president weighing aggressive pressure to secure brunson's release including tariffs on turk i steel and aluminum. as a result turkey currency plummet today record low and economy is now on the brink of disaster, however, last night in ohio president trump was adamant that the u.s. did not agree to lift sanctions or make any kind of deal in return for brunson's release. >> we spoke to turkey, and we went through a system and we got him out, they've been trying to get him out for a long time. well, this has nothing to do with anything. there was no deal made at all, there was no deal but we are very happy to have him and have him in good shape. i hear he's in very good shape. >> while there was no deal to secure pastor brunson's release it will lead to better relations between trust and turkey, possibly great relations. so certainly the possibility that those sanctions and tariffs could be lifted down the road. now, today, though, pastor brunson back here home in the united states

regarding turkey? we heard from elise labott about some of the sanctions, not the sanctions but the tariffs applied to turkey, that may have increased the pressure on turkey and the president saying there hasn't been some kind of a deal made to secure andrew brunson's release, in his tweets, pointing out that turkey could have a good thing coming to it. >> president trump was adamant during that meeting that there was no deal, that he made no concessions to secure the pastor's release, but he had placed an enormous amount of economic pressure on turkey in the weeks leading up to brunson's release. he ratcheted up the steel and aluminum tariffs on turkey and that combined with sanctions had helped to exacerbate existing economic problems in turkey. their currency was plummeting. they were starting to head into something of an economic crisis. and that is parts of why this release is happening now. it is not clear whether any of that economic pressure will gradually be lifted off turkey, now that trump h

today we had very separate meetings with the president of turkey where the chancellor of germany. we have also had to speak with a french representative our will show our gratitude for this productive for negotiations and finally lack to mr demister or for the work carried out in this direction it was a very complex very meticulous work. highly professional work which requires considerable efforts on the part of the participants of this process so thank you very much mr de mistura for your work let me. lay the turkish people on the coming national holiday on the day of the turkish republic the day there were ninety five hears of the formation of the turkish republic i sincerely correctly the president and the turkish people i wish them well where and good luck . thank you mr president thank you. put in chance america represents thank you president reagan for the wellcome here in stumble to bring forward this important subject. a to start. my statements with a word of solidarity. towards the. u.s. and the shooting that has just happened outside a synagogue in pittsburgh and i would

crackdowns on some cards on lawyers and turkey that casts some doubt on the idealism of turkey as a venue and then second you have the intersection of the issue of a turkish domestic chord but saudis doing activities within a diplomatic enclave and you know people coming in with diplomatic authorities and that's why you create one of these international tribunals or you are to go to the international criminal court or the international court of justice to resolve this then that international tribunal wouldn't have to deal with these issues of the in their play between domestic turkish law and international law with regard to what can take place in an embassy who has jurisdiction that cetera there's going to be too many endure in their native turf wars between turkey and saudi arabia if there was a prosecution in turkey and so that's why the fairest the way to get that resolved is the have it in the international tribunals out and let me bring you in head in kugel in amman turkey as human rights record what's the will see how shall they what's the what's for you the real concerns wel

so turkey is going to continue conducting belittle side of this investigation because turkey has been saying that is saudi arabia has been trying to spoil the evidences and one of the latest example of the spoliation is that i have i have listened from a very high level turkish official tonight that they have a footage gathered by december rounding c.c. cameras two hours after jamal entrance inside the consulate building a celta official gets out of the consulate building with gym. clothes on and they have been stating that the cameras inside the consulate was not able to record it was it didn't if you have a hard drive and probably also the turkish officials yes can you say that again i think that's a shocking detail that is new for our viewers say that again about what you have heard that was seen on this video. from a very hard i level turkish official i listened to night that on the bridge i'm outta shuji disappeared two hours after his entrance inside the saudi general consulate building in istanbul a gentleman a saudi men exited the building with jamal has shoot clothes on and s

officials confirming that turkey has or geo and video recordings that prove he was killed inside the saudi consulate you can hear his voice and the voices of men speaking arabic an anonymous source tells the paper you can hear how he was interrogated tortured and then murdered another source says men could be heard beating. this is a crime the reason is the crimes that it is during one of his appearances is that going out and killing. so many of them and one of his appearance and if you if it's true that he was assassinated inside him to see and they would also be responsible for extradition. so there is a possibility is there in the kingdom of saudi arabia is going to erode his fate is where i was in this time saudi arabia has remained silent since its initial statement left the consulate shortly after he arrived and that the accusations of murder are basis for the revelations that turkey has and video evidence of what is alleged to have happened is ramping up pressure on the kingdom if true it would explain why turkey was so quick to conclude that he was killed inside that consulat

the saudi delegation has arrived in turkey on friday for that purpose turkey's been waiting to search the consulate and also the home of the saudi consul general they need the saudis permission to do so but it seems if the latest reports are true that the turks already know exactly what happened to. stephanie decker al-jazeera istanbul. attained american pastor at the center of a diplomatic dispute between the u.s. and turkey is back in court for a case hearing andrew bunsen is accused of being linked to groups involved in the failed turkish coup in twenty sixteen some charges have since been dropped he's now accused of espionage pope francis has accepted the resignation of the archbishop of washington cardinal donald will as been accused of knowing about the actions of abusers during his time as the bishop of pittsburgh thirty two priests who worked under him during that time were accused of abuse in a recent grand jury report though he's resigning as archbishop of washington will remain as a cardinal. at least thirty people have been killed in a landslide in eastern uganda close to

the syrian conflict is dominated by foreign powers mainly russia iran and turkey they have different interests at stake and support different sides in the conflict with weapons logistics and personnel russian president vladimir putin is president assad's closest ally russia has been taking an active part in the war since two thousand and fifteen putin wants to strengthen russia's military presence in the region syria is its sole access point to the mediterranean sea president hassan rouhani of iran is the other major assad supporter from day one to iran has supported damascus with advisors weapons and troops syria in return provides iran with a crucial route to the hezbollah militia in lebanon. turkish president rich one would like to topple assad has supported various radical rebel groups from the start and since january turkey has had troops of its own in syria one of at of on its goals is to limit kurdish influence in the region. during advance recent visit to berlin german chancellor angela merkel agreed to this weekend summit russia iran and turkey have used the syrian conflict

and turkey. trump had applied increasing economic pressure to turkey, including by ratcheting up steel and aluminum tariffs against the country and by applying the sanctions to two turkish leaders. and all of that caused the turkish currency to plummet and put turkey's economy into something of a crisis, and that precipitated brunson's release on friday. now, the president touted this as a victory for the u.s., saying that previous administrations wouldn't have been able to free brunson. and he took the opportunity in the white house to talk about a separate situation, and that's tensions between the u.s. and saudi arabia over the alleged killing of a saudi journalist at the saudi consulate in turkey. trump said the two events had no connection in terms of the timing of brunson's release. trump said that the administration is looking for more information about the disappearance of jamal khashoggi, that journalist, before he decides what kind of punishment to levy against saudi arabia. but the mom

was against the coup against the president morsi in egypt turkey sided with qatar when saudi arabia imposed an embargo and try to isolate qatar or dog on sending turkish troops to qatar and turkey is relationship with iran as well a source of contention between these two countries so it was a strained relations the two to begin with and in particular with muhammad the bin man they have been suggestions that he even called a turkey part of the axis of evil with iran now today for the first time since that she killing the president or the gone and mohamed bin so man had a phone conversation what we understand from presidential sources here it was muhammad bin so a man who requested that conversation of course there was a statement released saying that they discussed cooperation and then we heard the saudi crown prince address the investment conference saying that the culprits will be will face justice and that they're cooperating with turkey and then after that he he expressed a softer attitude towards qatar a country that they imposed an embargo on qatar and mohamed been saying you k

egypt and turkey should president. show geez why he still has not been found more than three weeks after he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey should investigate as had been given permission to search a well in the saudi consul general residence for the first time donald trump has suggested that the ultimate responsibility for his death could lie with the crown prince while the washington post reporting that the head of the cia has listened to audio capturing the moment of the show chinese murder she is expected back in washington on thursday after visiting turkey as part of a white house investigation into the killing. turkish officials say shortly before the saudi crown prince left for the investment conference he spoke to turkey's president on the phone their first conversation since the killing at a typewriter on is demanding saudi arabia extradite those responsible to face trial in turkey. you know it's interesting to note in messina we are determined not to allow a cover up of this murd

sent investigators to work with turkey. something turkish officials deny. international diplomatic editor nic robertson has been all over this story for us. nic, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. what our sources are telling us that turkish authorities share investigation with allies. this material that they shared clearly indicates that khashoggi's death inside the consulate. this is what the turkish authorities said all along. they are sharing this evidence which is audio and video information which is not precisely clear. they shared with the allies. we understand from the source briefed by one of the allies and intelligence officials. he says that the intelligence agencies are shocked -- shocked by the nature of what they heard. it took some time to digest it. it reveals assault and struggle and the death of jamal khashoggi very, very damaging evidence turks sharing with allies. it paints saudi arabia into a difficult corner. how do they get out of it? last night they said they were forming a joint investigative committee with the turkish a

sanctions imposed against turkey over the brunson case we spoke to turkey and he went through a system and we got about it was no deal met at all there was no deal but we're very happy to have him and have him in good shape by hereis are in very good shape. pastor bronson had lived in turkey for twenty years he left the courthouse a free man a concession which could improve strained relations between ankara and washington for brunson's wife marina to thin a long wait prosecutors accused her husband of links to kurdish militants and supporters of. the cleric that turkey blames for a failed coup attempt in twenty sixteen bronson's lawyer called the trial a farce. there was no need for this case which did so much harm to my client to turkey as a whole and damaged relations today's ruling proves that. for years bronson led a small evangelical church in his mere prosecutors claim some of its members belonged to the outlawed kurdistan workers party while welcoming bronson's freedom washington is now pressing for the release of several other americans being held in turkey. saudi arabia has ag

at all turkey has been against the assad regime russia has been an ally of this regime but turkey has recognized that negotiating with russia is the way to sort out syria there's no point bothering with the u.s. they have very little influence now james thanks very much let's talk again to abraham price he's a professor of conflict resolution of the institute for graduate studies we're also seeing these reports that when there was this meeting aimed at reconciliation between king solomon and members of the ashaji family the crown prince was in the room at the time if we accept that as being true how significant is the fact that the crown prince was there while the cum prince being in there actually sends a message from king solomon that he has not abandoned his son and as being the one in charge and. for what but i think of saudi arabia in the moment and actually this is the. goes in accordance with the changes or with the actions of the city that can summon the euler goal when he sag to senior officials intelligence and media other person and also all of the baddest of eighteen indiv

the bigger part is for turkey because there are some topics that turkey is experienced as a nation and the latest one is as you know by a little tension diplomatic tension between it with saudi arabia over journos to mouth a ship just mysterious disappearance or maybe killing according to the official sources as media states now turkey believes that as washington give support to ancora over this issue turkey will have the leverage to create a public opinion in international arena and will have a chance to create international pressure over saudi arabia especially regarding demolish it just case because there are lots of rumors there are lotsof that is suspicious on the other hand the gain for turkey is that turkey turkish lira has lost forty percent since the beginning of this year especially following the dispute between washington and uncorrupt over bronson's house arrest decision so this is also good news for the turkish markets and international markets but of course and other thing is the military corporation that turkey and united states are handling in syria as men bridge on the

it seems odd that it's that it's happening in turkey because they don't have the best press freedom they don't they don't land so. i am not press freedom and act at all in fact that one of the world's biggest jailers of journalists so now with turkey now seemingly defending a journalist and is this a sign of change in turkey as far as the press or is this more about we don't like you killing someone on our turf might be needs or maybe simply pot and kettle and that they're using it because it's useful for some bigger game frankly i'm surprised even blamed on putin as we know love to kill germans during was just for fun wrestling it was well it's so early in the week because i mean when you get out here i'm sure it'll be glad to ask jennifer rubin i'm sure she'll get it or not only that but they were the point is i don't know that it has to do with press freedom in turkey and it may not even have to do with the wounded sense of sovereignty on turkey support and may simply be that for other reasons they want to pick a fight with the saudis and they're using this as a pretext so can yo

but mr khashoggi was killed in turkey by another state, which is also a regional rival of turkey. so this is why turkey is giving more importance to this case, and trying to get all the international media and the international public behind themselves in this case. as a way of making a point against saudi arabia. putting saudi arabia in its place. turkey's relationship with that country was in a bad condition in the last two years. especially their relationship to qatar affected the relationship between turkey and saudi arabia. so this will be the new episode in the relationship between those two countries. well, the saudi government and its allies are also facing new questions about their role in the war in yemen. a proxy war has ravaged the country since 2015, as a government coalition led by the saudis and supported by the uk, us and france has clashed with houthi rebels backed by iran. the fighting has killed at least 10,000 people, and coupled with disease and starvation, has triggered what the united nations calls the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. the port city of ho
