human rights body calls for an independent investigation into the murder of jamal khashoggi also thousands take shelter in thailand as tropical storm public makes landfall bringing fears of widespread flooding and landslides. even as you can see the game is only played by older generations the younger ones have different tools to play with and an ancient iraqi board game struggles to survive in an age of digital media. so donald trump and congressional leaders are meeting at the white house right now trying to find some sort of resolution to end this partial government shutdown there was a step forward late on thursday when newly empowered democrats in the u.s. house of representatives passed a package of bills to reopen the government at least until early next month that measure though it will be likely to face a hurdle in the senate also president trump threatening to veto it every reason senate leader mitch mcconnell is calling it all political theater in a white stuff time fourteen days now since both sides failed to reach an agreement over donald trump's five billion dollars demand fo

where you know universal jurisdiction has been applied to a case and could it work in the matter of jamal khashoggi. of course there is a system of sanctions against and the readers you know you have so you know you are from some countries you know even the history is full of where individual sanctions were imposed on freezing freezing assets freezing accounts of the individuals suspected of. crimes or indeed even other crimes that this crime is a crime against humanity or for immunity with north be a use door. but it is certain 100 percent or others come a lot higher behind diplomatic immunity that's why if there is a will by the international community the species of the of the european union as a broke and other countries of democracies this should really push for a thought up comprehensive in the deep end of the of the suggestion is that was the last and it's not out of our sorry to interrupt you if there were to be an international investigation into the matter of jamal how shoji there would have to be some sort of corporation compliance from the saudis would it would there not to be

foreign policy on thursday with zero mention of jamal khashoggi the u.s. senate as you say pass a resolution holding the conference responsible and yet we have seen nothing else since so do you expect any further action from the white house or from congress i don't expect anything from the white house i expect the white house to resist this tooth and nail and try to sweep it all under the rug which is essentially what secretary pompei owes a speech in cairo tried to do but at the same time i definitely expect more action in congress as i said a moment ago that resolution enjoyed bipartisan support many republicans president trumps closest ally in the senate lindsey graham has been one of the most outspoken critics of muhammad been silent for many things especially the murder of jamal so i think we'll see the house of representatives vote on that resolution in fact that was passed by the senate now that the democrats have taken over and i i think we may see further steps beyond what the congress voted in december two. to stop us aid deliveries for the war i

secretary of state to present saudis on jamal. hard would probably not be the best way to describe it in terms of the intensity or pressure the pumper will be putting on the saudis remember the secretary of state was dispatched by the president's very early on in the early days after jamal kushal she went missing inside the consulate and then became known that he was killed in many. observers viewed his visit to riyadh was one to maybe coordinate response more than it was to try and put any sort of pressure on the saudis the trumpet ministrations way in which it has been dealing with the saudis in particular with crown prince mohammed bin sideman has been business before. so to speak or at least that's what critics have been describing it as not least those who worked with jamal khashoggi in the washington post and therefore it's very difficult to see how compare would be going to riyadh with anything significant considering that according to the u.s. is only intelligence they believe that mama been saddam on the crown prince has

before the murder of jamal khashoggi along with saudi arabia's involvement in that ongoing war in yemen thank you mike mike hanna in washington d.c. let's get some analysis now and speak tomorrow on bashar our senior political analyst in london for a small one 1st of all you've seen the report you've heard what i've missed colum i had to say what do you make of this and do you think it's going to lead to any accountability in the murder of jamal khashoggi. well certainly it's proved to be a process not an easy one but certainly. not an ambiguous one the case is being built whether the leaders like it or not clearly despite all attempts be are and. mohamed bin solomons all eyes in washington he doesn't seem like he's able to escape accountability the idea that there is evidence that they're now requires further investigation on such high authority by an international body like the un human rights council i think probably not just the case forward and put some more spot light on on the saudi leaders and demands of course more answers now or whether the saudis will comply doesn't seem like

ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi senator lindsey graham who is a supporter of donald trump has broken with the president on this issue. well here's where on that lot of this is classified i've been briefed by the agencies involved there's 0 doubt moment and this was orchestrated by the n.b.a.'s inner circle approved by him done with his knowledge and it's part of the way he does business. and in december senator graham was among those who pushed through a senate resolution that named n.b.s. as responsible for the killing of jamal khashoggi but as far as sanctions go no tangible consequences have been suffered by m.p.'s or saudi arabia over the killing of jamal khashoggi with trump so far still mom in response to the u.n. reports continuing with the defense of saudi arabia as an important u.s. ally and the relationship based on commerce and military strategy between the 2 nations too valuable in the view of the administration to jeopardize over the killing of the sternest the u.n. secretary general agrees there needs to be a full transparent investigation into the killing but hi

joints it talks about plastic bags and leather bags in which to dispose of the body and that is before jamal khashoggi arrived in the consulate it goes on and it really is pretty horrific so to give details of exactly what happened to the struggle the sounds that were heard the saudi team say did he sleep keep pushing pushier do not remove your hand the sound of movement the sound of heavy panting and then the sound of a sore and of course james you know you detail very dramatically for us exactly what's in this report i've got a copy of him myself and only some of it we can really relate to our viewers but what it what we do have to us perhaps is what is actually clarifying in the report that perhaps we didn't know before because she's only working with the evidence that perhaps we knew was in the public domain. yes i mean she has had great limits on her inquiry she's not been able to go to saudi arabia she doesn't seem to be in how much help from the saudi authorities she's relying on tapes that turkish intelligence gathered although she has only been able to listen to 45 minutes of those

who are at risk if we allow that message to be sent so where does that leave the investigation into jamal khashoggi is death well there is still a lot of pressure in us politics to get to the truth especially from the democratic side but there is also a lot of global pressure remember the un special rapporteur started her investigation just a few weeks ago the results of which should be available in the summer so the pressure still remains interestingly enough a saudi official appeared on the american news networks this past weekend and said look we don't need the u.n. we can deal with this ourselves although the trials will not be public eleven people have been indicted five of them face the death penalty but interesting in that same saudi official said that they do not know where the remains or the body of jamal khashoggi is a trainee footballer hacky menard a.b. is back in his adopted home of australia after spending two months in a bank of jail footballer was arrested in november while our honeymoon in thailand he fled his country of origin in twenty fourteen and received refugee stat

thank you very much i will speak to our correspondent jamal shall about trump's break 1st meeting with the saudi crown prince shortly but 1st to our diplomatic editor james bay so james we heard rather optimistic tone from donald trump as he entered that meeting with paying any sign of how those talks are going now. know it's all behind closed doors clearly there have been late night negotiations here between negotiators from the u.s. chinese delegation and i think that must be the reason for president trump's optimism talking about the historic and momentous trade deal between the u.s. and china there is a great deal at stake here g. 20 is have lots of discussions about lots of subjects but the purpose of them is to discuss the global economy and this is the most important relationship in the global economy the relationship between china and the u.s. you have on one side the possibility of a breakthrough in a deal and that historic a mentor still president trumps talking about of course on the other side if what goes on and is happening right now in that closed door room reach a probl

as likely exactly so take me on in how you went about picking up where jamal left off trying to finish what it was he'd started. you might be aware of the project. was working on and of course is a project that was started in association was about actually. and the idea behind it is you know these guys the saudi regime they weaponize twitter they manipulate the media they manipulate the platform in order to do really dark things and to just to fight really dark things why don't we do the same but in the in the opposite direction in other words why don't we also manipulate twitter to push our own narratives which are basically you know pro freedom pro profit off expression pro-human rights etc. so that was one line of attack and i would i would mention here that i have a certain philosophical difference let's say with this approach of course i was not involved in that project at all but i have this philosophical difference because i think maybe fighting fire with fire is not the best strategy because they simply have so much more fire. the 2nd approach i mean there's 3 approaches i pref

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

jamal khashoggi as an extrajudicial killing for which saudi arabia is responsible how report calls for an international investigation into the responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including crown prince mohammed bin salam. 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 name

just murdered in their statements they say that they haven't forced the team to kill jamal khashoggi but they asked them to persuade him negotiate with them to come back to saudi arabia but jamal khashoggi resists it he didn't want and then he was wrong to do that this is what is written and also we learned that 9 of the 15 suspects who have been tried by the saudi court has been are facing death sentence while others are facing aggravated life sentence these are the important details and we learned that ma had a. the tree who was the leader of the negotiation team of those 15 men he said that he gave the order to kill jamal and at 1st he thought about burying him in the garden of the consulate residence but then he told that the police would find him that's why he ordered his team to chop jamal just by these interfaces but the interesting part about this testimony is that. the reporters just back to the reporters who wrote this piece they suggest that these statements are showing that this was just a rogue operation that was committed by an interstate group like the intelligence and

the committee to protect journalists is calling for accountability for the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in the past hour or so the group held a news conference in front of the white house wanting the trumpet ministration to send a stronger message than it already has to the saudi government one of the speakers there earlier today was courtney ridge the advocacy director at the c.p. jane she's with us now on skype from washington d.c. i noticed when we listened to you earlier and we took that speech live on the newsgroup is that you were critical of obviously saudi arabia but perhaps more critical right now of the white house and its inaction i don't think there are more critical than saudi arabia i mean you know it's the officials are the ones you merchant all show me are critical of the white house and we are really hoping that they will comply with their deadlines morrow to respond to the magnitsky act and respond to the senate who are asking for answers about what the white house believes is responsible for assassination of john marsh and she and whether sanctions are not.

exactly exactly so take me all in how you went about picking up where jamal left off trying to finish what it was he started here so you might be aware of the project that omar abdel aziz was working on and of course is a project that was started in association was about actually. and the idea behind it is you know these guys the saudi regime they weaponize twitter they manipulate the media and they manipulate the platform in order to do really dark things and to just to fight really dark things why don't we do the same but in the in the opposite direction in other words why don't we also manipulate twitter to push our own narratives which are basically you know pro freedom pro profit off expression pro-human rights etc. so that was one line of attack and i would i would mention here that i have a certain philosophical difference let's say with this approach of course i was not involved in that project at all but i have this philosophical difference because i think maybe fighting fire with fire is not the best strategy because they simply have so much more fire. the 2nd approach i mea

foreign policy on thursday with zero mention of jamal khashoggi the u.s. senate as you say pass a resolution holding the conference responsible and yet we have seen nothing else since so do you expect any further action from the white house or from congress i don't expect anything from the white house i expect the white house to resist this tooth and nail and try to sweep it all under the rug which is essentially what secretary pompei owes a speech in cairo tried to do but at the same time i definitely expect more action in congress as i said a moment ago that resolution enjoyed bipartisan support many republicans president trumps closest ally in the senate lindsey graham has been one of the most outspoken critics of muhammad been silent for many things especially the murder of jamal so i think we'll see the house of representatives vote on that resolution in fact that was passed by the senate now that the democrats have taken over and i i think we may see further steps beyond what the congress voted in december two. to stop us aid deliveries for the war i
