8:00 am
but teens make them see. my mom part of the viewfinder series to. behave. it was a total fiasco from day one donald trump accuses saudi arabia of the worst cover up in history after the killing of a saudi journalist. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas entering visa lookouts and other measures and the u.s. secretary of state identifies him to punish some saudis suspected of being involved in death. we have strong evidence this was a premeditated murder. all involved from top to bottom to face punishment.
8:01 am
by law and has them seeking this is al jazeera live from doha sure from donald trump toward the saudi crown prince for the first time the u.s. president appeared to hint at saudi crown prince mohammed bin sandman's possible involvement in the murder of journalist we'll have more on that in a moment trump's tough rhetoric comes on a day when the u.s. is taking its first punitive actions in the case the u.s. is revoking visas of twenty one saudi nationals secretary of state might prompt a zero also warning of more to come or trump called the killing of quote the words cover up in the history of cover ups but he insists on staying away from economic sanctions is now putting the onus on the congress for a response meanwhile turkey's president wants the suspects as done well and
8:02 am
certainly has not been. spoken properly they did the wrong thing even thinking about the idea they certainly did a bad job of execution and they certainly did a bad job of talking about it or covering it up if you'd like to say that but i would say it was a total fiasco. a turkey's president wants the suspects to be tried in his country have type one rejected saudi arabia's version of what happened to america and called it a premeditated political murder mike hanna begins our coverage with this report for the first time a tone of anger in president trump's remarks they had a very bad. original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups very simple. bad deal should have never been thought of so many really messed up and they had the
quote
8:03 am
worst cover up ever. and we're chittister that is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble late in the day at a meeting with military officers he was asked at what level in the saudi leadership the cover up occurred i spoke with the king. i spoke with the ground bridges' yesterday. and he strongly said that he had nothing to do with this this was at a lower level. we have people right now in saudi arabia literally just now getting planes and then in an evening interview with the wall street journal president trump gave an even harsher assessment he repeated his conviction that king solomon did not know about the killing in advance but in regard to the crown prince's possible involvement is reported to have said well the prince is running things over there more so at the stage he's running things and so if anybody were going to
8:04 am
be it it would be him. and first punitive measures introduced by the secretary of state to get specific saudi individuals total it's not clear with that they are all the ones previously identified in the contentious saudi report we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other side ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show his death we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking bases entering visa lookouts and other measures. we are also working with the treasury department to review the applicability of global among the sanctions to those individuals congress has already invoked the global magnitsky act which gives the administration a maximum of four months to investigate the killing and decide what sanction should be imposed on individuals or states found responsible norma's the vice president
8:05 am
also expressed his horror at the killing and added that the information gathered by cia director gina has bill in turkey will be key in the coming days i know that when the cia director returns and she'll be briefing the president myself and our entire team on what the turks have assembled and president trump has made it very clear. the before resources of our told its community working with intelligence officials in turkey in our interactions with saudi arabia and also with other countries around the world are going to follow the facts and then decisions will be made the cia director is likely to be one of those who president trump says will gather at the white house wednesday to go through the evidence that has been collated in recent days the one common message from old in the trumpet ministration is the importance of the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia but there would be no greater test off this
8:06 am
relationship than if it was determined that this killing was indeed an assassination ordered at the highest levels of the saudi kingdom mike hanna al-jazeera washington or bust nominee is senior fellow at the stimson center a nonpartisan nonpartisan policy research center she says trump's latest statements on the hamad bin sandman are damning. well definitely firmer than ever before and he's clearly made it very clear that he thinks there's a cover up which i think is very interesting because of course that flies in against everything that the saudis have been saying from the beginning so that's very interesting and of course some interesting comments that he had meant made today to the wall street journal to new york times all pointing to this idea that haven't been solomon is in control that if there is responsibility to be had if there is royal palace collusion or knowing of this operation that he would be the one who had known so again very damning words coming from the white house are the
8:07 am
toughest we've seen in the almost three weeks ago that's been going on it's kind of a cop out he really wants to sort of punt this to somebody else to deal with particularly knowing that there is a midterm election coming up this is not really a wedge issue that really resonates particularly with his base he'd much rather talk about the migrant caravan and other sort of domestic issues that are more pertinent to him and so i think he wants congress to come up with some ideas of course referring to the asking in particular to the executive does put it in his court but in terms of you know whether or not they're going to stop arms sales that would of course require again a passage through the congress last time around it was very very narrowly almost got it through so there may be indeed you know whether this story lasts a bit longer there may indeed be some take up but by congress but of course this is not something that trump wants to have on his agenda any more and that's
8:08 am
a turkey in a much anticipated speech by president richard type one he is also linked crown prince mohammed bin son meant to the murder of question he says men from selma security detail were part of the fifteen member hit squad zain ahora has more from istanbul. saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man offering condolences to the son salah who is believed to be under a travel ban and may not be acting on his own free will the facial expressions are telling the younger she reached out his hand to a man many believe was behind the murder of his father king some man who has been somewhat out of the public eye for a while is now trying to contain an international crisis that could have repercussions on the kingdom and the royal family he chaired a cabinet meeting and we iterated that those responsible for the death of the saudi journalist will be held to account whoa the meeting was held just hours after president treasured time of decline of turkey appealed to the king to
8:09 am
act and to do what is correct. we will follow this incident until the end whatever is required by our laws and by international laws we will carry it out in fact i'd like to make a call from here today my call is to first and foremost saudi arabia's king solomon and to senior administration. where the incident to place therefore my offer is for these fifteen people plus three people the eighteen arrested to be tried hard to move ahead i mean. i personally don't doubt the sincerity of the custodian of the two holy mosques king saul money is on the other hand it is very important that such a critical investigation about a murder is carried out by a truly i'm biased unfair delegation with no doubt about their connections are to go on refer to king sound man with respect to his much awaited speech on tuesday where he was supposed to unveil what he called the naked truth about the murder of
8:10 am
turkey's president did provide some new details and investigation like the presence of a third saudi team that scouted a forest a day before he was killed but overall turkey's president was a politician he criticized saudi arabia for not fully cooperating with the investigation but was careful not to burn all bridges with riyadh. the people were expecting. what happened to the body. which was amounts of with of the dismemberment of the body have been the video. recording these are all questions. but turkey says it has enough evidence to prove what it has been saying from the start that the murder was premeditated and planned after she visited the consulate for the first time on september twenty eighth to sort out the paperwork for his marriage or the gun again highlighted the role of the fifteen men who arrived and left on private jets on the day of the killing new video of the team at istanbul
8:11 am
airport has been released turkey security sources believe they carried out the assassination saudi arabia insists the killing was a mistake and the rogue operation even though among those identified as a member of saudi crown prince a security detail an autopsy expert saudi agent and a body double parted on may not have laid bare the naked truth about the crime but he did lay bare turkey's demands and the leverage it holds we have strong evidence he says and it's not enough to blame intelligence agents we need to hold to account those responsible from the top to bottom a political murder is how are gone described the killing in a political speech which stopped short of naming who he believes was responsible. the defacto ruler of saudi arabia have a good time and made a brief appearance at the investment conference in riyadh that he had hoped would boost his country's image instead the event was shunned by western leaders and
8:12 am
business executives over the hush she killing saudi arabia may be trying to send the message that it is business as usual but its isolation is growing and the crown prince's political future is also in question senator al jazeera istanbul. let's go live now to jim ellis in east for so jim and where does all of this leave the investigation as it currently stands. he's going to house them obviously there was that little development that police with the discovery of that vehicle a couple of days ago finally the texas officials were able to search and yesterday they were still conclusive in terms of whether they were able to uncover more evidence with regards to this case but it shows that they are still looking for different nuisance to tie up the most important obviously and blades themselves a lot of those two senses where is the body or there i say body parts as has been reported that is something that's president made very clear in his the bombs part
8:13 am
of that speech that he made was he demanded from the saudis to give information with regards to this local collaborator that the used to dispose of what from a. v.c. the saudi narrative is that they gave a body wrapped in a rug to some local criminals the turkish narrative was that they were body parts that were given regardless obviously these imports and some imperative as far as the turks are concerned so it gets that's not only in order to get some sort of closure and respect for the friends and family of jamal such as you but also what's evidence and all topsy reports on what remains of german officials you could give in terms of how significant it would be to pinpoint exactly those responsible for his murder and assassination so this investigation still ongoing that is the main one the independent one that's leading through the attorney general's office there is also this joints one that they've been talking about that is done in collaboration with the saudis we haven't really seen or been told what that's been
8:14 am
able to uncover and the fact that the saudis are refused to give the details of this local collaborator would seem to point that there's very little coordination in this coordinated investigation that they've been talking about and to man in terms of the politics of all of this obviously the turks have been been trying to apply pressure where where they feel it's needed has that moved anything in that regard. well i mean that has in the sense that when you heard there from mike in terms of the shift in the u.s. policy or at least the spoken words coming out of the u.s. but also you've seen it's in terms of what impact it's had on the saudis themselves the opening of that future investment conference essentially missing some of the biggest names that they needed so it has had an impact from that regard obviously the turks are playing this out as long as they can the fact that early on didn't provide that conclusive evidence that people maybe had expected he was going to do the fact that they are still leaking out even more images from this it's a c.c.t.v.
8:15 am
footage from the airports so i'm sure other images and footage that will come out in the next twenty four forty eight hours shows that they are sitting on you would say maybe a treasure trove of evidence or footage that they are true using strategically when to release them how to release and even to whom they should release until they get what they want out of this this is a long drawn out diplomatic dispute to say the least and it is something that the turks want to make sure that not only do they get what they claim they're off there which is the justice for jim out of control sure but more importantly obviously from a strategic perspective there are going to be oscars that's on current ones and it's over them that they still haven't been given those oscars and that's why this still has not been concluded jim thanks very much live in his town. us that i had on al jazeera i knew human rights report uncovers abuse and torture
8:16 am
in the occupied palestinian territories. the u.s. warns the migrant caravan you will not cross our border under any circumstances. hello again this hour do want to start here in turkey because over the next few days we are going to be seeing a change in your weather pattern because right now winds are coming out of the south that means warmer conditions to you but we do have some rain and clouds in the forecast here on wednesday for ankara we do expect to see about seventeen degrees in a wet day but it gets colder once that front goes through and you can see it right here with all those heavy rain showers then your temperatures are going to be dropping as well as the winds coming out of the northwest but along this front it is going to be rainy and we could even see some thunderstorms with some gusts and also some hail in the forecast for baghdad thirty five degrees but a lot of clouds down across parts of quite as well with the tempter there about

8:18 am
a damper to the disease is dangerous that's what our country and i mean when whenever i'm given people i stand for my i want to go to bed until i have treated them on lifeline the quest for global health on al-jazeera. again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top story u.s. president donald trump for the first time. saudi crown prince mohamed bin sandman's possible involvement in the murder of journalist jim our interview wall street journal says the crown prince is running things in the kingdom so if anyone were to
8:19 am
be involved it would be him his ministration has revoked visas of twenty one saudi nationals. turkey's president wants those behind the murder of germany. to face trial in his country. has called for an independent investigation. of the u.s. and russian presidents could meet in france next month over american plans to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty donald trump and vladimir putin will both attend a world war one commemoration event in paris on november eleventh russia says they plan to meet on the sidelines u.s. national security advisor john bolton john bolton held talks with putin in moscow the more than thirteen year old arms pact eliminated some categories of nuclear and other ballistic missiles step us and has more from moscow. john bolton didn't make it any clearer about how and when the united states wants to pull out of the i and after nuclear treaty he said there wasn't any clear timeframe yet what he did say
quote
8:20 am
though was that the united states hasn't started the official withdrawal from the treaty which takes about six months to do he did say and that's what they say most what the president was saying over the last couple of days is that russia has been violating this treaty time and time again but interestingly also said that the russians agree with the united states that the treaty is outdated and none of the russian officials have said that in public but he said the russians agreed to back down when the treaty was signed in one thousand eight hundred seven it was a different world the only two major nuclear superpower you the soviet union and the united states well this situation has changed now there's also china he mentioned and he said to bear information china has a heart for one third of their missiles that would actually violated this treaty this is what we had to say i think you were primarily perspective as president
8:21 am
trump said on saturday said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations of the i.m.f. treaty the position russia russia doesn't agree with which we feel very strongly and was a major factor in our decision that was wrong when bolton was asked if he was worried about another arms race he basically referred back to two thousand and one when the united states pulled out of the a.b.m. the antiballistic missile treaty everyone was worried there would be some kind of collapse of global securities sat well that didn't happen and he promised that didn't it wouldn't happen again when the united states would pull out of the i.m.f. . the united nations says millions more people in yemen are facing famine than previously thought the u.n. humanitarian chief is giving the security council an update on the situation there mark local says the three year conflict has left some fourteen million people on
8:22 am
the brink of famine and completely reliant on. just to be clear my assessment my advice to you is that there is now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing yemen much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working lives our revised assessment the results of a new survey work an analysis is that the total number of people facing pre-fab in conditions meaning they're entirely reliant on external aid for survival could soon reach not eleven million but fourteen million that's hard for the total population of the country a saudi arabia and bahrain have added iran's revolutionary guard corps to their national antiterrorism lists the revolutionary guard is an elite division of the
8:23 am
iranian army saudi arabia has long accused iran of supporting armed groups across the region iran dismissed it as an attempt by the saudis to distract the world from the murder of jon mouthwash. a palestinian teenager has died after he was shot by israeli forces at the gaza border last week seventeen year old was shot in the head during a protest on friday he later died in the hospital israel says he breached the border fence during the protest and was then shot palestinians have been holding weekly protests against israeli occupation and blockade in gaza since march. parallel police states that is how human rights watch describes the occupied palestinian territories of gaza in the west bank in a two year investigation it found dozens of cases of unrest abuse even torture which it says show systematic repression of free speech how the force of a force from gaza. hamas internal security officers carry out
8:24 am
a raid in gaza city. one to secure the area one to provide cover and the third to go to the target a heavily armed criminal. it's all happening in a police compound this is a training exercise on a day colleagues elsewhere were involved in the real thing rounding up a suspected gang of illegal drugs traffickers but hamas forces are facing criticism for going after other targets accused merely of disagreeing with the government. i mean our bet is a member of hamas is rival political faction he says during days of questioning he was forced to stand in stress positions all because of facebook posts. they asked me who gave me the order to write those comments was it an israeli officer or a palestinian officer from ramallah the made me stand for three hours under the sun in a miserable heart situation and they carried on for
8:25 am
a month. such accounts tally with a new report by human rights watch based on a two year investigation of security force practices in gaza and the occupied west bank this report human rights watch points out that israel routinely violates palestinians most basic. right but it argues that's no reason to ignore what it calls systematic repression carried out by to fire a lot of police states. one case cited in the report was in june when the palestinian authority security forces cracked down on a protest in ramallah against the authorities economic sanctions on gaza if you dissent today not in the west bank or the gaza strip you face the likely prospect of detention and when detained routine threats tante coersion and even in many cases torture these are not isolated cases this in fact is reflective of a machinery for oppression tarik says he was caught up in that machinery as a reporter in the west bank for hamas linked to television he's been detained four
8:26 am
times twice he says he was tortured and i had this overcome and be in no i have a strong feeling that i can be detained any time without any need to press charges they can open my face book and consider any post charge because the cybercrime law is very vague. the p.a.'s interior ministry didn't make anyone available for interview in its response to human rights watch it denied any arbitrary arrests of a political speech adding anyone with an allegation of mistreatment could lodge a complaint the hamas interior ministry had a similar response to a financial pass in two thousand and sixteen twenty seven thousand we had three hundred fourteen complaints about mistreatment after we investigated it became clear that in ninety of these cases the officers acted badly and we punish them with their own. human rights watch says its report shows that such cases aren't aberrations but part of a system which defines insulting high or forty's or causing sectarian strife is
8:27 am
punishable crimes are a force that al-jazeera gaza. a man believed to be a japanese journalist captured in syria three years ago has been released the japanese government is verifying his identity but said it was highly unlikely to be jump i assume it received information from qatar he'd been released and he's now in turkey you see there was reportedly held. and sham formally known as a front seven thousand people escaping poverty and violence in three central american countries are defying donald trump by continuing their march towards the u.s. border they're now heading north through mexico u.s. secretary of state says the caravan poses a danger and warned the migrants to turn back from a security standpoint there is no proper accounting of who these individuals in the caravan are and this poses an unacceptable security rest to the united states
8:28 am
moreover many of these people are right targets for human traffickers and others who would exploited them we don't want that to happen you know it's also has a message for those who are currently part of this caravan for any caravan which follows you will not be successful getting into the united states illegally no matter what i repeat the caribbean will not cross our southern border illegally under any circumstances john homan reports from southern mexico where he's been following the cab caravan. this is really quite a rare moment for the people that are in this caravan it's the first time that they've had a day of rest since they entered mexico the last couple of days they've been walking a marathon basically every day and they're using the time as you can see here to wash their clothes to wash themselves and just basically to relax a little bit many of them are coming with family so the families are taking
8:29 am
a little bit of time here on the banks and in this river. also in the center of town is when so many people there they spent the night most of them out in the open they're just trying to recuperate a little bit we're speaking to one family that came from nicaragua most of the families here are from on some of them from el salvador guatemala we aussies family from they could argue why it is that they're traveling you know anybody any kind i woke up when i left nicaragua first because there are no jobs even when you're trying to find a job you price violence even my child at school gets basin up and i'm a single mother i can't leave my children alone while i work. we estimate that this caravan has at least a month to go at the rate that it's currently travelling on until it gets to the u.s. border and of course there are things that get to get even more difficult really for this massive more than seven thousand people president trump has said that there's no way that he's going to let them pass the border he's threatened to send
8:30 am
the military to that border until they get there the mexican authorities themselves haven't done anything to impede the progress of this caravan although they are offering asylum to many people but the real test is in the times to come if they manage to make it through mexico what's going to happen when they get to a large very hostile united states. this is al jazeera it's got a round up of the top stories u.s. president donald trump for the first time intent at saudi crown prince mohammed bin sandman's possible involvement in the murder of journalists in an interview with the wall street journal trump says the crown prince is running things in the kingdom so if anyone were to be involved it would be him his administration has revoked visas of twenty one saudi nationals nothing that they have done have this government has done well and certainly has not been. spoken of properly they did
8:31 am
the wrong thing even thinking about the idea they certainly did a better job of execution and they certainly did a bad job of talking about it or covering it up if you'd like to say but i would say it was a total fiasco turkey's president wants those behind.
