To rebuild the image of the crown prince whose reputation has been damaged by the murder of the mother and the war in yemen. Or washington d. C. Well turkeys president has written an article for the Washington Post saying his country will continue to investigate murder. Calls the killing not only a tragedy but also a blatant abuse of diplomatic immunity noting the murderers traveled on diplomatic passports and turned their diplomatic building into a crime scene and were assisted me attempted cover up by saudi arabias top diplomat in istanbul which sets a very dangerous precedent he writes it is in our best interest and of humanity to ensure that such a crime is not committed anywhere again cynicus of all who has more from istanbul. Turkeys present dance days in his opinion piece that no event since in the events since 911. 00 has caused threat to International Public order then jamal for ship just murder because in his piece he has written that this is a blatant abuse of diplomatic immunity as those 15 people who came to istanbul to kill damascus ship were members of the state the saudis state and they were called actually as diplomats thats why he believes that this caused a big chaos and controversy for the International Order but prior to compared to his previous statements prisons add ons rhetorical seem to be soft and with regard to saudi arabia underlines that this is not a bilateral issue between turkey and saudi arabia but an International Issue in terms of justice and diplomacy and he underlines that king some are meant to sell nuns loyal subjects are different than those people who are murdered Jamal Khashoggi and prisons are dong calls them as thugs in his opinion piece another thing he underlined is that the transparency because he believes the Court Proceedings in saudi arabia is not transparent and there is not Public Access to the trials and thats why he insists the trials the trials are fair in saudi arabia and the perpetrators are subject to the necessary punishment well the u. S.

China is preparing to mark 70 years since the communist party seize power parades through beijing on shoes they are expected to reflect the countrys growing wealth and military strength but experts are warning increasing government control over the economy could be chinas biggest threat matheson reports. 2 armies on the streets of beijing the 1st works during the day made up of battalions of gardeners carpenters and elec traditions busily preparing for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the peoples republic of china and you know i have seen all the great changes in the past 20 years in beijing peoples Living Standard has been improved a lot so this that abrasive means a lot to me as well as to many other people. I hope that our country becomes more and more prosperous well no longer afraid of the military threat from other countries thats why i fully support this military parade. The 2nd army marches by night when chinas military and thousands of flag waving students practice tightly choreographed displays by daylight the route a long long piece avenue in through channon main square isnt as busy as usual many businesses nearby have been ordered to close until after the celebrations large numbers of people have been told to leave beijing and return to their hometowns october the focus is expected to be a demonstration of chinas military might as well as its confidence in the future under president xi jinping but there are protests in hong kong against chinese rule there are allegations being made involving human rights and of course theres the trade war with the United States but some analysts believe the biggest problem that china is going to be facing in the coming years is its own economy chinas made significant efforts to open up trade particularly to Foreign Investors but experts warn there arent enough private businesses to generate innovation and create jobs they say the government of xi jinping is increasing its domination of chinas economy weve seen since he took power is hes an authoritarian i mean hes an authoritarian like that again like putin and they all come from very different backgrounds but the instinct is to centralize chinas government says its determined to keep its society stable. It keeps a tight grip on the media and the internet it discourages comment and criticism particularly from followers on topics if we gods is sensitive or simply chinas own business anyone cannot read the china if he or she adopts a very ossified perspective or is very eager to put a label on china because china is changing so many of the misinterpretation a misunderstanding is probably because of lack of on the stand the other rapid changes in china china may be changing rapidly but preventing its economy from stagnating could become its greatest challenge. Beijing. Coming up in just a moment right here on the aljazeera news hour more trouble for the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson hes facing allegations of personal misconduct. Violent protests in haiti drag on. Paying the highest price details in a moment. Hello once again the weather looking lossie quiet across a good part of the middle east little bits and pieces of cloud into southern areas of iran tending to fade away i think a cloud there up towards the caspian sea up towards stuart your i mean you can see a little bit of wet weather just coming through here for most of this got to stay settled in sunny 28 celsius there in beirut were looking at some whats a weather and some wintry weather over towards the himalayas up towards azerbaijan his back is down as well but even that ship clear away as we go on into wednesday central areas still very help 43 celsius there for baghdad and 40 in kuwait city and well see similar temperatures across iraq peninsula of course here in doha around 39 degrees celsius maybe a touch warmer as we go on into the middle part of the wake just as some showers around the gulf of aden still into that western side of yemen southern parts of the red sea and more the same over the next few days you see one or 2 showers a recently affecting the eastern side of south africa pushing up towards mozambique this cloud just sliding its way through filtering some showers there and on shore breeze to central parts of mozambique so you could see some showers from time to time and thats popping up and moving further north. Every year 50000000 tons of electronic waste is thrown away the majority is a leak can be dumped in developing countries right now electronic waste is the most traded hazardous way of retracing the tank through the criminal organizations making big profits and asking why the west is turning a blind eye. On the waste trail on aljazeera. I learned that the 1st amendment really need to be. Going to. Women. That are available but if your story is that we just dont tell you what the subject of the story. The government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want apologize for. The question so that we can get closer to the truth. Teller again the top stories on the aljazeera news our. Commanders say theyre releasing 350. 00 prisoners as a gesture of goodwill to the so do you eat coalition the red cross says it has overseen the release of 290. 00 prisoners so far so to arabias crown Prince Mohammed bin sandman has told an American Network that he takes responsibility for the killing of because it happened under his watch but denies any personal involvement the main rival to the afghan president has claimed victory in saturdays election. Is the chief executive says he won the vote despite official counting still taking place lets bring it on me what hes a professor of journalism at the American University of beirut and a nonresident senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy school whos joining us this time from boston thanks very much for joining us on the aljazeera now news hour to talk about this wide ranging interview that mohamed bin sideman gave an American Network i mean what he what stood out the most for you from this interview. What stood out was how consistent he was with his previous positions over the last few years and how much how little credibility there is an almost everything he said he repeated. The vase of for phrases he used about the killing of. He repeated essentially what arab autocrats have been saying for the last 30 years whether it was Saddam Hussein or gadhafi or c. C. Now they say look if if if we dont get our way theres going to be chaos in the region oil prices are going to spike theres going to be wars is going to be refugees theres going to be terrorism and this will hurt the whole world and this is exactly what im had been so many said it was a very sad interview in my view having watched arab leaders say this over the last 4050 years and that internal downeys of some of the top rank additional saudi policy lets drill down into some of what he said and start off with specifically because he denied ordering the murder but said he does take responsibility because it happened under his watch what are we to make of that. Nothing really because it does what does it mean if you take responsibility in this continues the same policies and the whole sugary killing is only the tip of an iceberg of a lot of brutal and sometimes criminal policies whether the the war in yemen or shaking down so the Business People are imprisoning human rights activists and its a much wider range of criticisms that people have of the saudi leadership than just the who should treat killing the killing is important for the manner of the brutality it was the inhuman grotesque brutality and the perpetual coverup which is still apparently going on if the u. N. And the cia both have pretty clear evidence that this was linked to his office and maybe to him that hes not coming across very credibly and this is a sad day for saudi arabia i think on on the issue of iran and he said that he preferred amid a political a political solution to a military one despite just a few days ago saying that he in fact agreed with the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o who called the attacks that happened on the saudi aramco an act of war so is there a bit of a contradiction there when it comes to iran. There is because both the saudi and american leaderships dont really know what they want to do and are not really very credible doing what they are doing right now they clearly dont want war nobody wants a war including the iranians and they dont know how to negotiate a coexistence situation in the gulf which is what what they need the americans have their own domestic reasons for doing what theyre doing including electoral and eventually kill people and things like that so there is a when you put the american in the saudi leaderships together on iran you get maximum confusion and this is what were seeing now but there are signs that the saudis like the immoralities in the last months have recognized that they need to change their policies because theyre not only not working theyre backfiring and giving iran much greater linkages strategic and military linkages with people all over the arab world as a response to the sodium about the israeli american policies of the last 3 or 4 years and what about the saudi policy specifically or the saudi war we should say when it comes to yemen many of course saying that its just not going the way the saudis wanted to go clearly its not going its strengthening the host is a strengthening iranian poti linkages hezbollah is probably involved other people in the region who are close to iran are probably involved the host is so shown a significant new technical military capabilities and the will to use their power and this is a big give a problem for the so theres they Just Announced yesterday that they captured a few 100 so the troops and hundreds of tanks and vehicles so the saudis have to get out of yemen theyre just looking for a face saving way in the world media there should step in and help them do it all right i mean we thank you very much for speaking to us from boston. Now a Border Crossing between syria and iraq has reopened for travelers and trade had been closed since 2012 to all traffic except government and military vehicles the trade route has been seizing control by various armed groups over the past 7 years including Syrian Rebels as well as i so well the u. N. Special envoy to syria says the country remains in grave circumstances gira pedersen addressed the u. N. Security council on efforts to find a political solution to the conflict he outlined the make up of a proposed Constitutional Committee hes also pushed for a nationwide cease fire james bays is our diplomatic editor he is joining us for more on this from the United Nations james what more was said. Well theyre talking very much about this Constitutional Committee which means diplomacy on syria is going to restart because really its been dormant for over 18 months now Constitutional Committee will meet in geneva on october 30th 150 delegates 50 from the government side 50 from the opposition and 50 Civil Society of course weve seen talks in geneva in the past this time its different theyre trying just to do one piece of the very difficult situation in syria and thats to come up with a new constitution and the idea venture then is to have elections free and Fair Elections in syria this all comes from a Security Council resolution 2254. 00 that was passed almost 4 years ago the special envoy made it clear that some of the other things in that resolution should also now be acted on for example the detainees all of those that are locked up in a science jails in damascus and elsewhere in the parts of the country that the regime controls they should start releasing people from those places where there is so much misery and so much torture particularly the women and children and he said there was another important thing that had to happen which was again in that resolution from 4 years ago steps on the escalation towards a nationwide ceasefire are absolutely essential because the violence and killings must stop because there is no military solution because the no solution 20 to 54 percent or so a ceasefire with a shared International Understanding are hold to combat terrorism terrorism in a manner that protects the really and our poled International Law is vital and its on the right and would help animate the political process. So a moment off some opportunity on syria but it is worth remembering what is going on in the north of syria province which is where many people have fled to as the Syrian Government and their russian allies have picked off the various what were called deescalation zones it was the last one the population there swelled to over 3000000 people they now have nowhere to run to and theyre being bombarded by the Assad Government and by their russian. And so i think there is a fear that although theres all this talk about diplomacy the Syrian Government may still be banking on a military solution all right james bays with an update from the u. N. Thank you now the u. S. President donald trump has once again waded into the impeachment inquiry tweeting this on monday the fake whistleblower complaint is not holding up its mostly about the call to the ukrainian president which in the name of transparency i immediately release to congress and the public he goes on to say the whistleblower knew almost nothing he says a 2nd hand information and fraudulent in a 2nd tweet he says senior democrat adam schiff illegally made up a fake and terrible statement and pretended it was trumps he says schiff Statement Read to Congress Board no relationship to what trump said on the call to the ukrainian president he finishes the tweet with arrest for treason for more on this lets cross over to our White House Correspondent kimberly joining us from washington to talk us through not only the tweets can believe but also what reaction is there to these tweets. Yeah well the president has been tweeting pretty consistently since it was clear that there would be an impeachment inquiry what we can take from all of this terrain is that as the democrats line up their messaging the republicans are doing the same and it appears a conscious choice has been made once again to have donald trump as the Spokes Person if you will introducing the various arguments that we expect could be made in his defense out into the public realm for discussion so for example you brought up bringing up and targeting adam schiff the chair of the House Intelligence Committee essentially what theyre referencing there dont trump referencing in his tweet is the fact that the cherry put together kind of a fictional parody if you will of the actual transcript released by the white house that was an edited transcript we should point out of that july telephone call between the ukrainian leader and donald trump now of course the focus of this inquiry nother one of the tweets by the u. S. President raising a lot of eyebrows where he quoted a dallas 3 pastor who essentially said that this inquiry could lead to almost civil war like fractures in American Society and that in terms of reaction is getting an awful lot of pushback including for members of the president s own party who feel that such a statement is reckless given a very divided america in fact one calling it repugnant so theres a lot of concern about the president s rhetoric as we saw in the rush of pro but the president using some of the similar language including calling this one of the greatest witch hunts in American History and does the president s rhetoric give us sort of any idea of how worried he really is about this impeachment inquiry. Were told privately there is reporting that the president was surprised by how quickly this has moved and that may be why he is really intensifying his tweets when particularly one where is there seems to be the strongest argument in defense of the president namely that the whistleblower that brought all this to light was never privy to the actual conversation between the ukrainian leader and the u. S. President but instead was hearing this information secondhand so youre hearing a lot of play about that but this is now moving very rapidly forward in terms of government which typically moves very slowly what were seeing are depositions being taken for a number of u. S. Officials to ukraine there is negotiation underway we understand with the whistleblowers attorneys are lawyers and congress about potential testimony there theres also a closed door testimony that will take place on friday we understand with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Committee that put together this report about the whistleblowers complaint and in the midst of all of this we should point out that there is also reporting coming out of the ukraine that leader Vladimir Zelinsky the president of ukraine saying that there may not have been just one phone call but in fact 2 and well ukraine maintains that it is an independent nation there leaving open the possibility of investigating this with regard to the crux of this of the president trying to use his office against his political adversary namely former Vice President joe biden essentially saying that that is still a possibility the very thing the president wanted is still a possibility the eyes of the ukrainian leader ok can really help thank you. The u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson is coming under increasing pressure over allegations of misconduct johnson has denied a journalist accusations that he groped her 2 decades ago sunday times columnist Charlotte Edwards says it happened when she worked at the spectator thats a conservative news magazine while johnson was its editor the case is overshadowing the 2nd day of the annual conservative Party Conference in manchester austrias conservative leader Sebastian Kurtz looks likely to return to power exit polls for the snap elections suggest his Peoples Party is in the lead with more than 37 percent of the votes but hes looking for a new Coalition Partners after a Corruption Scandal undermined his old ally the far right Freedom Party dominic cain has more from vienna. Reaction to sundays election result here in austria has been swift and pretty clear most people agreeing it was a resigning success for the Peoples Party under sebastien courts the man whod been voted out of office by the parliament behind me back in the spring now seemingly propelled back towards power in september by taking the number of votes that he did the number of seats that he did people say he now has the choice of which party he might govern it appears pretty clear that that wont be with his previous partners the far right Freedom Party who saw their vote really crumble under the weight of the scandal of its former leadership and plunged that party into a question for mr kohut says with whom could he govern it might be with the green party another of the parties that really succeeded in sundays election the thing to be clear about from a more european scale is that with the far right now seemingly far away from power here in austria there are very few if any really strong far right movements in parliaments or governments across this Cross Western europe right now schools and businesses are closed in haitis capital Port Au Prince as the city braces for more protests on monday opposition leaders have called for people to either take to the streets and demonstrate or stay safe at home theyre hoping to pressure the president to resign but as many reports the unrest is having a major impact on the lives of haitians. For weeks protests against haitian president should no mores have paralyzed much of the capital Port Au Prince. Over the weekend in an easy call returned to the city with debris from roadblocks still littering the streets having a motorbike was the most efficient way to get around we visited the shanty town of the poorest slum in the city. There we met 65 year old so little the Living Conditions in her neighborhood are far from sanitary and many of her family members are sick. She tells us she remembers a time when she had steady work and life in the country wasnt nearly as hard but those days are long gone that way at last the way things are going and the country has made things worse for the poor we feel even more mistreat it than before theres no one here to help us we have to look at fosse selves. There are thousands of haitians who like solenn have been deeply affected by the political crisis theres an ongoing petrol shortage fuel pumps are crowded and with Public Services crippled many people are forced to walk long distances in search of supplies the lot of them i dont know if its doing i have a wife and children and i cant find water ive got 5. 00 to buy water but i dont know where to find it with tensions still high the government continues to call for a National Dialogue. Violence is not the best way to make your voice heard there is a major impact on the countrys economy especially if it means haiti is locked down. Unwilling to negotiate opposition leaders have once again called for mass demonstrations. Joining us now from Port Au Prince so any sign that this is putting pressure on the president at all. Whether or not this is putting pressure on the president is the big question the government continues to call for a National Dialogue something that opposition leaders have refused to do and even though things have been calm here in the haitian capital over the course of the weekend and even even today were starting to see only now demonstrators starting to come together the big question is where is president down billys people are are to once again expected to take to the streets today to pressure the president but these protests we should mention have been going on for the last 3 weeks but if you look at the larger picture these are protests that have been going on for months almost 2 years now people here are are protesting not only this ongoing fuel shortage thats destructing the lives of people here in the haitian capital and the rest of the country but theyre also protesting skyrocketing inflation theyre protesting a decline in the devaluation of the currency the protesting an increase in poverty in a lot of things a lot of these factors coincide with the administration of the presidency of moline but in terms of what we can expect to see today and whether or not these protests are going to be as large as the ones that we saw on friday is on clear what we did see on friday however were thousands of people who took to the streets in protest police using tear gas to disperse the crowds there were instances where police have been used live ammunition to disperse the crowds so the pressure for the president to resign is still there the tension in the streets of Port Au Prince is still there and in fact over the weekend there was one individual one of the more militant demonstrators of these protests that was killed were not sure if he was killed by police or what the context of his death was but this is what he was a very well known figure within the Opposition Movement so its one of the things that we expect will embolden demonstrators to want to continue to protest on the streets of Port Au Prince and we should mention these are protests that are not isolated to the Nations Capital these are protests all over the country that are expected to continue. With an update from Port Au Prince thank you. Coming up in a moment. Hello in time for the sports news that will join peter stammered live at the world of flooded championships in doha peter over to you.
