saudi arabia, as you mentioned, is an important country. but i think everybody now realises that mbs himself is a problem. well, do they really feel it as strongly as you suggest? because if one looks at what has happened in recent months, and yes, we can talk about donald trump's insistence on partnership, and similar words coming out of the uk government, but also look at the corporate activity. some of those big corporations that shied away from the so—called "davos in the desert" investment summit that the saudis were hoping to be such a big success last autumn, well, they've now gone back to saudi arabia. i noticed the big entertainment conglomerate in the us amc is back building those cinemas in saudi. john flint, the boss of hsbc bank, he went back to saudi recently saying it is a privilege to be in saudi arabia. larry fink, the super investor from wall street. he is saying that the changes that he sees in saudi arabia are, quote, "pretty amazing." so the corporate world as well as the geopolitical world is still in there, in saudi

investigator a very damning report for saudi arabia. a very damning report indeed we've been talking to officials of the missile fight enough they say that they need some time to read the whole. statement the whole report issued by the united nations or any color mug but some of the recommendations of that report for exactly in line what with what turkey has been calling for basically the call for an international investigation to be carried out on the circumstances surrounding the murder of turkey has also been asking saudi arabia to extradite the 15 members of the hit squad that was sent here to kill. you to the point where the case itself strained relations between turkey and saudi arabia and just to give you an indication about the extent of that strained relations a few days ago crown prince mohammed bin so many that interview to the saudis paper . issued. a veiled warning to turkey about the case of saying that this case should not be used by other countries for political gains and that whoever has information should be giving evi

years of the saudi arabia has targeted busy hospitals. public pub public companies and also civilian areas the civilians here in the country have borne the they have went through difficult situations and memories civilians have lost their lives due to such acts on civilian areas so many people here in the in the areas under the control of the whole of these have suffered enough during the 4 years of saudi war on the whole fees but the situation. now the fire the fire back to the saudi arabia now now civilians have become also victims of the retaliation of the whole of the somebody and i just interrupt you there mohammed yeah we know about well how the civilians are affected but we really need to know what hootie is saying about this particular attack they have been targeting southern saudi arabia for nearly a year now and one of their missiles has finally hit a significant target they they must be quite in bold and what are they actually telling you about that attack. as i mentioned to the the spokesperson of the whole thing. says that th

arabia even though they perhaps behind the scenes might criticize and denounce saudi arabia over its human rights record says still dealing with saudi arabia when it comes to business so or which country do you see helping the tax you know from my experience in dealing with your from international law firm diplomatic issues i remember very well how european governments when they are facing a country like saudi arabia or libya during the duffey they don't like to act alone in case saudi arabia would single them out and it would harm that m.t.s. so they always go on block the go as a group of states in order not to to to do that and they would you say there are many parties that are on many ways but i think the europeans and the walker of the companies and government should really stop staying behind the fares and waiting for the model to disappear this level will not disappear and any help for the saudis in this matter will be preserved of course it used constitute the stigma of the former the front of the forehead of the democrat the democracies of especially the western world. thank

authorities in saudi arabia saudi arabia in the past was saying that they sacked. syria the intelligence chief and they sacked bonnie he's a top aide to prom prince mohammed bin said that but that is a general sentiment here in turkey that these are not the real people who gave the order they believe this is something really high in the and when you say high in the saudi authorities we're talking about as if back to rule in saudi arabia crown prince mohammed bin so i think this is going to give the turkish government the man to to move forward and the united nations of the security council for an action as far as the murder of them is concerned thank you for that hashem had a life for. in a stumble by the author of the reports the un special rapporteur agnes column r. is giving her 1st television interview since the release of the report to us here at al-jazeera and that's expected to happen here in about 90 minutes or so you can watch the full interview live on al-jazeera with the un special rapporteur or an extrajudicial killings agnes column off after the releas

whether it is a formal judicial arabia andn saudi outside saudi arabia, this was the first and the last. that is the state of saudi arabia. to me, i did not know jamal khashoggi. i believe that he would take great hope in the fact that his execution will never be repeated including by the state of saudi arabia to which she was so attached. >> thanks, guys. will be following that story later this afternoon, so stay tuned for more coming out of geneva on the murder of jamal khashoggi. now, it is time to take a look at the top business stories. revival between the u.s. and china as the g20 summit approaches. >> donald trump says an extended meeting with his chinese counterpart will take place on the sidelines of the g20 in osaka next week. talks between the sides broke down last month as the u.s. accused china of reneging on previous commitments. a meeting for now avoids the threat of new u.s. tariffs being applied to some $325 billion in chinese imports not get targeted. analysts are doubtful any deal will be struck. trump talked up his personal relationship with xi. trump: as you know, y

consulate in istanbul last october as an extra judicial killing for which saudi arabia is responsible she calls for further investigation into the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including a crown prince mohammed bin salman the report also details taped conversations about body disposal in the moments before because saudis arrival at the consulate and she says that the killing is an international crime with universal jurisdiction and she urges a criminal inquiry by the united nations well earlier my colleague followed by c. both spoke exclusively to him is kind of mom and i asked her about what she heard on the order of the recordings. the recordings needs to be interpreted they do not tell a very straightforward story. what was done to use body i cannot deduct. i have a home and i can infer from the sound that something was done based on the technique or. knowledge of the various people i have consented it is well possible that mr cashel game was 1st put. first injected with something and then that he was actually asphyxiated weezer plastic bag this

we can only assume that saudi arabia will retaliate and retaliate hard of course so odd saudi arabia would have thought yet but let's go back to your stockholm deal. but i thought develop this deal in order to promote the peace deal between saudi arabia and yemen that will. keep the security and peace and their lives on but so far stockholm there. is still paralyzed by so many. if you was there from the side and that and. first of all the cease fire that map. that happened. the saudi air force has arthel with their allies. getting so many. targets and side yemen and this hoho this out of it i think the saudi arabia and launching attacks. measure on saudi border the southern border so. the 1st think that the international community should do is thought big just. the devil of it. confidence. and sit you would be harder to. promote the peace talks between the parties concerned indeed ok well for the moment we'll see whether the that is even possible under the conditions of wednesday mr lee asked for thanks for joining us from beirut. let's go back to one of our top stories and once the

saudi arabia has been added to a list of countries that have failed to meet minimum u.s. and trafficking standards that's according to an annual report from the u.s. state department's frozen jordan has more. the u.s. government is calling on other countries to more vigorously enforce their anti trafficking laws the secretary of state michael pollan peo said this isn't just an expectation but there will be consequences if other countries don't do more to address the problem last year president represented to certain types of assistance to 22 countries that were ranked 4 tear 3 in our 2018 to proport that action and the message that flows where that is very clear if you don't stand up to traffic that america will stand up to you a notable shift on the list this year saudi arabia it had been on the tier 2 watch list for the past several years but the u.s. assessment is that saudi arabia has not addressed the problem of trafficking within its borders and so it has been downgraded to tier 3 it's worth pointing out however that saudi arabia is not on the list of countries that

with saudi arabia. a report calls for. the responsibility of saudi officials. including. saudi arabia. to the report. baseless allegations. the u.s. special envoy to iran is heading to the gulf. between washington and. intelligence with several countries including saudi arabia. iran. yemen's houthi rebels say they fire crews most all out of power station in saudi arabia province there's been no confirmation from riyadh it's the latest in a series of strikes by the whole of these on saudi cities in the past 2 weeks they've warned they'll keep up their attacks in retaliation for the kingdom's actions inside yemen. turkey's president says egypt's only democratically elected president mohamed morsy was killed. once the egyptian government to face an international court over most of these death the former president died in a cairo court during a hearing on espionage charges earlier this week rights groups say his poor treatment in prison contributed to his death international arrest warrants have been issued for 4 man charged with murdering $298.00 people aboard malaysia airli

governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months of not only interested in doing saw my reporting produce a range of recommendations including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to said the saudi arabia should take to demonstrate not a repetition which is a from them and told dimension of their responsibilities given that they have established that the responsibility of the state using board or saudi arabia's minister of state for foreign affairs has rejected the report. says it was full of baseless allegations and clear contradictions he says only the kingdom has the authority to look into the case and that riyadh retains the right to take legal action in response to the findings bara has more from istanbul on saudi arabia's response. saudi reaction to the final report issued by the united nations special rapporteur. was expected the government does not seem to be pleased with the chilling details that were presented in the report and also about the fact very implicates saudi officials of the highest level in the murde

that actually the cooperation between china and saudi arabia in this area was now quite strong china has been selling missile technology to saudi arabia since the late eighty's that was when it sold them the dung fung 3 medium range missile then a few years ago china sold the saudi arabians the dung func $21.00 long range missile and that was part of an arms package worth more than $100000000000.00 so it's quite clear that saudi arabia is becoming a very important customer for chinese arms and of course the united states also sells a lot of arms to saudi arabia now the foreign ministry media briefing on thursday i also spokesman. how china was helping saudi arabia develop its ballistic missiles program it was interesting there was like a 15 2nd delay between my question and his answer as he looked on his desk to find his prepared answer because this was a question he was expecting here's what he had to say the truth. the chinese government has always opposed the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as their proliferation trying to has been very strict with the export of missile

you know my report makes a friend of recommend the ships including to saudi arabia as a special rapporteur i am committed to establishing constructive relationship preserve the governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months they are not shown any interest in doing so or my reporting proves around every comment issue including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to step that. we take to demonstrate non repetition which is a from them and toward dimension of their responsibilities given that they have established that the responsibility of the state is inboard not repartition and we mean him or were there things to 2 pre order that are currently and prison or arrested for the basis on the basis of the peaceful expression of their opinions and surely a follow up investigation into the the security services and the how such an executive could have been carried out by members of the security services so to me the the obligation of non picture shows what i am placing a lot of emphasis on and i'm calling on the authorities of saudi

arabian you know the saudi arabia absolutely now let's not forget that saudi arabia is a signatory of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and they do have a working agreement with the international atomic energy agency however arms control experts raise their eyebrows over the building of a recent nuclear reactor facility do you want to do that into the saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb we will follow suit as soon as possible now peaceful nuclear energy is certainly permitted and russia has worked with saudi arabia on atomic energy before however russia's agreements with saudi arabia were up front transparent and they included a signed roadmap on what would and would not be happening with the program the u.s. secrecy is certainly frustrating to the point that with any deal done behind closed doors you have to wonder what they're trying to hide. r.t. new york. put some flesh on the bones are your only brand managers of political analysts and middle east expert yes it is the trumpet ministration trying to hide any

they create at least a million purchases made by saudi arabia, so we are very happy to be with you. great honor. very happy to be with you. thank you. would you like to say something? >> thank you, mr. president, for your warm welcome. we try to do all of this, and we believe my people, the saudi people, for the last few years, and we tried to do more. we did a lot of political achievement on the believel side, so i that -- both countries for job creation, more for both countries, and we hope to do more. pres. trump: almost at the top of the list is your fight on terror. for a long time, there were questions as to whether saudi arabia and other countries were supporting terror, and tremendous effort has been put on to the exact opposite way. forll of the money is going things that we do not like, and they were not good, you have ceast, we have followed appreciate that, in the world has appreciated that, so thank you for that, and we appreciate you being here. >> thank you, mr. president. >> what about jamal khashoggi, sir? >> [overlapping questions] pres. trump: well, i will be goin

at the same time in saudi arabia like. jane. their names languish in jail because of this same oath of asking so arabia to adopt such a form to adopt a female ambassador to hearth. like it to empower women in politics so mama been some how popular is he in saudi arabia well the thing is that in so that maybe you're will never have. public poll that really can tell you the real you know. the real saudi opinion and impression of the state and its leaders but if you want to have flicked at least a real impression of how this city public feel about this state you should look at the different various segments of soda society look at for example the liberals the famine it's the shia the sunni the. islamists the different the women men you will find i mean the leaders of all these segments of saudi society. have been either put in jail silenced intimidated or threatened in one way or another even the tribal leaders in serbia the even his own family the religious institutions have to be a has forever been criticized for being an extreme

saudi arabia also one of south korea's biggest oil refineries s. oil the south koreans can't really afford to make a big issue of show deal or any of saudi arabia's other activities that we can only expect international community might find disturbing mohammed bin solomon goes on from here to the g 20 summit in japan it was at last year's summit in the wake of course shrugs he's killing that he was shunned by some world leaders it's not clear if he'll face the same reception this time or if the world as south korea seems to have done has moved on robin pride al-jazeera so. south korea's president says the u.s. has been holding behind the scenes talks with north korea about a 3rd summit the last meeting between the u.s. president donald trump and the north korean leader kim jong un and in february without any deal earlier on tuesday north korea said it wouldn't surrender to u.s. led sanctions and so the u.s. secretary of state might pompei a was an obstruction to negotiations on denuclearization. gunman and a suicide bomber in egypt of killed at lea

arabia relationship or a case between turkey and saudi arabia international community and member states of the united states have a very very tough job to actually own this case and support turkey if you had received the turkey had received a genuine support of e.u. member states or of the united nation member states. at a whole turkey would have done that long time ago but i mean turkey also has its own interest that he needs to protect when it comes to its relationship with saudi arabia having said that we cannot by any means say that turkey has put turkish position or unconscious position has been a weak one or an ambivalent want to again has been what i mean what else can they do at this point as i think. to expect what they can do is just i mean to only expect international community support in turkish position and when it comes in the case ok saudi arabia be specifically in the report. agnes calmar she refers to this case is being suitable to be looked at within the concept of international jurisdiction what does that mean because it's clearly not just a domestic issue as the saud

arabia turkey wants to achieve a stable relationship with saudi arabia and turkey wants stability in the region that will serve you know serve the interests of all players ok that is not so its own so is i need to jump in because we are running out of time and i want to get back to you and be but fest you call me if nothing comes as a result of this report what are the implications then for gen this around the world look this is this is really problematic that we already have no meaningful action 9 months after a brazen murder and a 3rd party country by a state we know is now responsible for that this has sent a very very chilling signal to journalists working around the world we've already seen that the past several years since the arab spring was mentioned have really been the most dangerous on record for journalists with record numbers of journalists being murdered 80 percent rise last year and record numbers of journalists being imprisoned so the fact that jamal khashoggi has been murdered in cold blood no one has been held responsible and ongoing impunity sends a signal that eve

arabia and the saudi lead coalitions in yemen. add to this as ambassador bolton described iranian attacks on commercial shipping off the coast and the unmanned arial vehicle attacks on pumping stations and the rocket fired into a park just a kilometer from our u.s. embassy in baghdad just a few days after that and just today, today, a missile fell on the arrivals hall of the saudi arabia's international airport reportedly injuring 26 civilians. these provocative actions mark a new evolution in the threat iran poses to the region, to our partners and to our own national security. including the security of hundreds of thousands of americans and their families who live and work in the gulf states. it's the increase in intelligence of threat streams and clear, provocative and damaging axes taken by iran's government that the secretary did term it constituted an emergency. it is this strategic priorities, the vitality of our bilateral relationships and partnerships that drove him to make the certification. >> i'd like to make one furth

british weapons sales to saudi arabia currently engaged in a war in yemen are. the verdict of one of britain's highest courts. the case was brought by the campaign against arms trade it says the government license arms sales to saudi despite a risk the weapons could be used to kill civilians. it's time to. end the policy. to continue. the ruling doesn't mean the u.k. has to stop selling weapons to saudi but it does mean the government will need to scrutinize what british may weapons are used for the government says it will challenge the ruling and freeze issuing any new arms export licenses to saudi while it considers the decision to disagree with the judgment and will seek permission to appeal alongside this we are carefully considering the implications of the judgement for decision making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses for export to saudi arabia and its coalition partners which might be used in the conflict in the. sun are yemen october 26th and the aftermath of an airstrike on a community hall the building was packed with civilians attend

and saudi arabia's minister of state for foreign affairs has rejected the report. says it's full of baseless allegations and clear contradiction. while the u.s. state department says it's looking closely at the reports and that it supports calamos mission to investigate extra judicial summary or arbitrary executions how does your caster has moved from washington d.c. . the u.s. state department has responded to the u.n. reports with a statement saying the saudi government should continue to ascertain all the facts and hold those responsible for the murder accountable and if additional facts come to light the u.s. will consider further measures however what's left unsaid here is the international a knowledge meant of this trial happening now in saudi arabia as widely a sham trial lacking transparency the 11 defendants on trial there are not even named and so it's still unclear how any additional facts would come to light all of this adding to the frustrations that some members of the u.s. congress have expressed namely senator lindsey graham a republican who has bee

saudi arabia absolutely let's not forget that saudi arabia is a signatory of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and they do have a working agreement with the international atomic energy agency however arms control experts raised their eyebrows over the building of a recent nuclear reactor facility the directing them to the saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb we will follow suit as soon as possible the united states administration is going to give the saudi arabian nuclear technology while they are fighting and they are doing sanctions on your own to not have nuclear technology for peaceful reasons if there's going to have it so they're americans that every american administration should be fair and allow everyone to have the nuclear technology peaceful peaceful cause now peaceful nuclear energy is certainly permitted and russia has worked with saudi arabia on atomic energy before however russia's agreements with saudi arabia were upfront transparent and they included a signed roadmap on what would and would not be ha

relations with saudi arabia more difficult this report. it does but what the administration has done is try to insulate those relations firm the criticism including in the congress so the time groups can say what it wants it can even try to restrain weapons sales to saudi arabia but the president will generally have 30 to override such constraints so i don't expect anything substantial to happen here without a reaction from turkey and that seems to be about it the international reaction at the moment when any of the other kids a national players review their relationships with riyadh's on the back of this report or thought unlikely for the same reasons that the trump administration doesn't want to upset saudi arabia. i think it's unlikely for the same reasons the saudis. are a key oil supplier to the world and both in europe in the united states. there are people who treasure their weapons sales particular and that's certainly true in the u.k. for example it's interesting also that the special rapporteur when he was speaking to al-jazeera

saudi arabia or rather the who. admitted responsibility for the missile attack on airports on wednesday but a spokesman warned that there would be further voted cama surprises in coming days why not the incidents in the gulf of oman on thursday as perhaps one of those surprises to to ratchet up the tension to focus attention on what's happening in yemen. yes thank you very much for this for the scores and yes yemenis would not attack anyone. would attack the one who attacks them so now yes yemenis declared the clearly that they have 300 guy gets inside the mainland of saudi arabia and inside the mainland of united arab emirates not in iran not in the in the money see not in any any other places so. yemenis and i would or would focus on these things because they are defending themselves they don't want to open war with anyone they don't want to open war with the region they don't want to open war with the united states no but they want what they want is to defend themselves because now. saudis and him are at these ar

or either on saudi arabia as a sovereign state where does this in your opinion lie where does the real traction need to come from a coding to hashem our correspondent there in istanbul it seems that the turks once they digested the report may be able to deliver a letter potentially to the u.n. wanting that international investigation wanting that international jurisdiction investigation started by the u.n. secretary general wants once that mandate is received. well i think that. as your. as reported. that you know you don't need the letter but in fact the u.n. it's in the u.n. court right now simply to proceed with the investigation the problem is the saudis are absolutely not going to cooperate they're going to continue to deny and up and up us kate and prevent any any investigation why because it involves an evidently been solomonic and that's not to say that the pressure shouldn't be maintained i think it should be i think this this report gives the opportunity now to to try and force some sort of accountability on marvin's saddam on whether that will play out or i don't i don't rea

the state of saudi arabia is to blame for the murder of journalist. that's the clear conclusion from a lead thing by the un special rapporteur i guess calmar who's calling for an international investigation her report describes hostile she's deaf inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october as an extra judicial killing she says the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including crown prince mohammed bin said a man needs to be investigated and the report details taped conversations about body disposal in the moments before she's a rival at the consulate she says the killing is an international crime with universal jurisdiction and she's urging a criminal inquiry by the united nations or earlier my colleague folly about to both spoke exclusively to agnes callum our. the state of saudi arabia is 1st and foremost responsible for for the murder i think it's important to and cyst that the executor of mr casually was a killing by as a state we have focused extensively on the identity of various individuals that where invol
