let's carry on jamal khashoggi 's mission. i always say that the free press, and the first amendment, the freedom of the press is the guardian of the gates of our two moxie -- democracy. what letter violations that the government exerts, the press can talk about it. if they cannot talk about it, they cannot exist. the assault on jamal khashoggi was an assault on our democratic principles. and our democracy, really. and we in america have to stand up very strongly for the rest of the world, so that they see that regardless of commercial transactions, whatever they may be, or even strategic locations , is not a license to kill. it is not a license to kill. [ applause ] it is quite an emotional time for us, every day is because the fact that it took place, the nature of the atrocity really outside of the circle of civilized human behavior. and the target, not just an individual, the principle of freedom. thank you all of you for keeping this, we will not forget and we will come together as long as it takes until there is justice.

as we know, the facts here for jamal khashoggi are so sad. he walked into that consulate just trying to get the papers so he could marry the person that he loved and he was heinously murdered. and what did he do? that deserved that crime? he spoke out and had the audacity to disagree with the government. that is what he did. he described himself as an independent journalist using his pen for the good of his country. he simply desired freedom for the people of his country. last year, he wrote a column for the "washington post" describing seeing some of his friends arrested and he struggled with what he should do, he said. at first he said nothing, he didn't want to lose his job or his freedom. he worried about his family and then he said i made a different choice now. when asked why he didn't keep his mouth shut and stay safe, he said we saudis deserve better. so he died standing up for his principles. since minnesota wasn't around with the founders of the country like mark warner's virginia, i will also quote thomas jefferson , who once wrote

so it's 100 days since jamal khashoggi's murder. we mourn that loss and pray for his family and commit ourselves to action. we must honor our moral responsibility to safeguard the lives and liberties of journalists at home and abroad and if we decide commercial interests should override the statements we make and the actions we take, then we must admit we have lost all moral authority to talk about any atrocities anywhere any time, we must carry on jamal khashoggi's mission to defend the free press, our strongest bulwark of injustice, inequity and oppression. the free press of all of our freedoms, the freedom of the press is the guardian of the gate of our democracy. whatever other violations the government or others may exert, if the press can talk about it freak exists. so an assault on jamal khashoggi was an assault on our democratic principles and our democracy, really and we in america have to stand up very strongly so the rest of the world sees that regardless of any commercial transactions, whatever they may be, or even strat

was mentioned about the murder of jamal khashoggi. a journalist was dismembered and it seems that the secretary of state and the president are not willing to take accountability for what happened. we are a force of good as the secretary said, but i think we really need to basically show it with action, not with words. >> let me ask you, what do you expect to be showing with action and maybe some words in this event that is going to happen on capitol hill? what is the actual bigger point to marking this 100 days? >> jamal khashoggi was just one of 53 journalists around the world who was murdered last year. a sharp spike from what has been previously. these are forces of repression that we are seeing around the globe that are trying to create an intimidation of freedom of speech. jamal was one person who was not afraid to speak. that's what got him killed. what he have done is assembled a coalition in both chambers of congress and we are proud of the fact that our lawmakers from both parties have stepped up and raised their voices and a

back to jamal khashoggi for a moment. we know that this administration has stayed close to the crown prince over this story, but what about the trial of those accused of killing him? turkey, of course, wanted that trial in turkey, is pompeo expected to address any of that? >> reporter: well, we did also get hints of that from his interview with al arabiya, where he said the united states expects that saudi arabia will hold those responsible for the killing of jamal khashoggi. at the moment, well, on the 3rd of january, a trial began in saudi arabia of 11 individuals accused of involvement in the murder of jamal khashoggi. they are apparently asking for the death sentence of five of them, but we don't know exactly who those 11 people are. we do know that there were 15 members of the saudi hit team that went to istanbul on the 2nd of october and subsequently murdered and dismembered "the washington post" columnist. apparently among those are people who, as you mentioned, are closely affiliated with the saudi crown prince, a

political class at least determined that the murder of jamal khashoggi should not be forgotten. yes indeed the senate in the us has been particularly strong in terms of demanding accountability for that murder and today have people from across the aisle senators or representatives of the house came together to remember jamal khashoggi to pay their respects to him and to continue to call for accountability of for those responsible for his murder but also speaker after speaker made mention of the fact that the best way to remember jamal khashoggi would be to continue to fight for a free media and certainly great criticism from a number of speakers of president trump for his continual attacks on the media as one speaker specifying that these attacks embolden dictators in other parts of the world and erode the principle of freedom of the media which was described as one of the best ins of u.s. democracy and now that the dynamic king kong congress has changed with the democrats taking the lead in the house of representatives will this empower the mission to try to persuade the trumpe

pompeo would like to focus on, not the issue of the murder of jamal khashoggi. but he is relentlessly pressed on this and has been throughout his tour in the region, and once again today he was asked what he was going to say. and this is what the secretary of state's response was, fred. >> what we have said consistently, america's position both privately and publicly is the same. this was an outrageous act, an unacceptable murder. those who are responsible will be held accountable by the united states of america. we're determined to do that. we're determined to get to the facts just as quickly and comprehensively as we can. we have had a policy that has been remarkably consistent with respect to this week. we, like the rest of the world, vow to have human rights across the world and the murder of jamal khashoggi was outrageous. and all the support they provide to keep americans in kansas, california and washington, d.c. safe. >> now, it is the case that saudi arabia is an important intelligence ally, fred, to the united states. they are very deeply bound togethe

regarding the discussions, though, around the murder of jamal khashoggi, what more can the u.s. secretary of state say given the firm support of this white house for saudi arabia? >> well, we've heard secretary pompeo say repeatedly that the united states expects saudi arabia to hold those responsible for the murder and dismemberment of jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate on the 2nd of october. now saudi arabia on the beginning of january began a trial of 11 individuals, five of whom the prosecution has asked for the death penalty. but we don't know who those individuals are. we know that the hit team that was sent to saudi arabia had 15 members. now, the cia has said it has it believes with high confidence that the individual who actually issued the order to murder jamal khashoggi is probably the crown prince mohammed bin salman. but we saw on the 16th of october when secretary pompeo met the crown prince it was all smiles and handshakes. so we shall see what sort of greeting the secretary has with the crown prince today. but there is not much in the way of expectations that

even jamal khashoggi's former editor at the washington post says when jamal khashoggi wrote about the need for free expression in the arab world, that freedom is not just about journalists. is about freedom for anyone who wants to express their views on society. others taking a more nuanced view. of one person writes if they want to operate in a country they have to obey its laws. a better position for netflix would be to boycott saudi arabia altogether and that might help increase pressure for reform. as for netflix, the company defending its decision in a written statement saying we strongly support artistic freedom worldwide and only removed this episode in saudi arabia after we received valid legal requests. phil: presumably this is not an isolated incident. saudi arabia are not noted for tolerating criticism. carl: if they do not like it in saudi arabia they will do whatever they want. overall the state of media freedom there is not very strong. we can show you statistics from reporters without borders. they do not have nice things to say about saudi arabia, ranked 169th out of 1

that has caused widespread outrage including jamal khashoggi's editor. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> what was your reaction to netflix pulling this. netflix is in a difficult situation, ultimately the fault lies with very wide ranging. the cyber crime law bans activity that upsets religious morals. so it's used to silence journalist. it's used to silence all sorts of people for tweets and so in some ways it's unsurprising but i think where a lot of the shock comes from is that netflix so quickly decided to pull the show. it just speaks to hassan's show is brilliant. i commended him for being smart and unique and funny but also keeping attention on khashoggi's case and it shows he must have struck a nerve. >> what did you think when you heard about this? >> well, jamal khashoggi's story is such a global story to see that it even penetrated the comedy world just goes to show just how much it angered and resonated with people and i think in particular in hassan's case in one part of the show he talks about being a musli

it's been one hundred days since saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered in the kingdom's consulate in istanbul people have been gathering outside the mission to remember him and vowing not to give up the fight for justice many questions remain on such as who gave the order for his killing why let's take a look back now at what we do know he was last seen alive on the second of october when he entered the consulate three days later turkish officials confirmed he was killed turkish media published images of a fifteen member saudi teen that arrived in istanbul on the same day khashoggi disappeared from this point onwards evidence began to mount linking saudi crown prince mohammed bin to the. then middle of the saudis finally admitted that he was killed but said it was the result of a brawl royal court advisor. and deputy intelligence chief siri with sacks of eighteen saudis arrested but he insists it was a premeditated murder and on the vendor the tenth that she had recordings from inside the consulate with several countries including the saudis now the u.s. senate passed a resolution

in the country the murder of jamal khashoggi in a stumble was a was a was a marker for what wider wider catastrophes pretty to put a no no greater word on it in respect to the detention of the of the women activists and indeed the women the men who support their cause there are credible allegations that these people have been have been tortured the people as christian blunt said the evidence suggests that people involved in the murder of jamal showed g. are involved in the in the torture and ill treatment of the of the women in men's men men as well in the in their situation something has to be done in this initiative is is a very clever clever one and one which we certainly welcome and then flicks has pulled an episode of a comedy show from its streaming service in saudi arabia after complaints from the kingdom's government. now bores my mind but it's not the killing of the washington post journalist for everyone to go on. i guess is really not a reform or saudi arabia took issue with the program called patriot act because the host satirize the country the prince mohammed bin summer's
