 "Recent reports indicating that the US government has made a final conclusion are inaccurate," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement

 "There remain numerous unanswered questions with respect to the murder of Mr Khashoggi

" Nauert said the State Department will continue to seek facts and work with other countries to hold those involved in the journalist's killing accountable "while maintaining the important strategic relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia

" Trump, while flying to California on Saturday, discussed the CIA assessment by phone with the agency's director, Gina Haspel, and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters

 The CIA had briefed other parts of the US government, including Congress, on its assessment, a development that complicates Trump's efforts to preserve ties with the key US ally

 A source familiar with the CIA's assessment said it was based largely on circumstantial evidence relating to the prince's central role in running the Saudi government

 The CIA's finding is the most definitive US assessment to date tying Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler directly to the killing and contradicts Saudi government assertions that Prince Mohammed was not involved

 Khashoggi, a US-based Washington Post columnist and critic of the crown prince, was killed in October at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul when he went there to pick up documents he needed for his planned marriage

 As lawmakers push legislation to punish Saudi Arabia for the killing, both Republican and Democratic senators on Saturday urged Trump to be tough on the crown prince, with whom he has cultivated a deep personal relationship

 "Everything points to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, MbS, ordering @washingtonpost journalist Jamal #Khashoggi's killing

The Trump administration should make a credible determination of responsibility before MbS executes the men who apparently carried out his orders," tweeted Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Saturday

 Trump and top administration officials have said Saudi Arabia should be held to account for any involvement in Khashoggi's death and have imposed sanctions on 17 Saudis for their role in the killing

 But they have also stressed the importance of Washington's ties with Riyadh, one of the biggest clients of the US defence industry

Trump wants to preserve the Saudi arms deals, despite growing opposition in Congress

 "They have been a truly spectacular ally in terms of jobs and economic development," Trump said

 "As president, I have to take a lot of things into consideration." On Thursday, Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor said he was seeking the death penalty for five suspects charged in the killing of Khashoggi

 The prosecutor, Shaalan al-Shaalan, told reporters the crown prince knew nothing of the operation, in which Khashoggi's body was dismembered and removed from the consulate

 Saudi officials have said a team of 15 Saudi nationals were sent to confront Khashoggi and he was accidentally killed in a chokehold by men who were trying to force him to return to the kingdom

The Truth About Fiat Leaving the United States - Duration: 5:10.

rev up your engines, mirco del Carpio says what is the worst car sold in

america, I'd have to say the Fiats ,you know Fiat bought Chrysler and then they

started selling their Fiats with the Chrysler's and their sales are now so

crappy that they're even considering pulling the Fiats out of the United

States and just putting fiat engines and stuff into Chrysler's and calling them

Chrysler's, but not even trying to sell the Fiats anymore because there's junky

cars and they have such a bad reputation in the United States from the past

anyways everybody calls them, fix it again Tony cuz they're always breaking,

and I had a few customers that did buy the Fiats in the last three years and they

were all piles of junk and the people got rid of them and said I'll never buy

another Fiat the rest of my life, Anthony says Scotty what's your opinion on a

Volvo 242 1982, those things were tanks, back in the day I had

quite a few customers they had those 242s they could run forever if you took

care of them, they were solid reliable cars and they had a lot of power even

though they didn't have a gigantic engine and they rode quite well of

course being a Volvo they were extremely safe inside too, now of course if you're

talking about buying one now, you're talking about buying what a 37

year old car and you're taking your life in your hands driving around a 37 year

old car, you never know what's gonna break their that old, the rubber, the brakes,

everything's gonna to be going at any second, but they were really solid with

built cars back in the day, Kelly blender says Scotty what's your

opinion I'm trading my 97 Jeep Cherokee XJ for a toyota 4runner

well if you can trade it and get it even trade go right at cuz that 4runner

will out last that Jeep, it'll last so much longer than a jeep there's so much

better made than the jeeps are, odds are you have to pay more money so it

just depends on how much money you want to pay, or if you can find some fool that

wants a Jeep and give you a 4runner take advantage and take the 4runner give

them the Jeep, Steve Lee says Scotty I have a squeaky noise

from the wheels it stops when I brake, wheel bearings or brake pads, that's

normally brake pads, because the brake pads have what are called squealers on them,

prongs that stick out just a little bit above when you're down

metal and metal on the pads, so when you're just driving they drag and squeak

but as soon as you step on the brakes they push so hard that the noise stops

cuz it pushes them out of the way, just pull off the wheels look at the brake

pads and if they're you know thin as a dime then you know it's time to replace them, now

occasionally wheel bearings can make noises, but generally wheel bearings

won't squeak, when they wear they roar and the faster you go, the louder roar

you're going 30 they go roo, and then you're going fifty they

get louder, they don't generally squeak, Romero hey Scotty opinions on a

96 Ford Ranger, those old pickups could last a long time, there a smaller pickup

they're not like a big f150 for hauling tons of stuff around but they can last a long

time, especially if they're standard transmissions, they can be pretty

bulletproof with a standard transmission their weakest point is the automatic

transmission, hey if it's a 96 and it's still driving down the road and running

that'll tell you something, you're talking about

what you know twenty three year old vehicle that's still run strong, yeah

it's pretty solid built a lot of them, David Holloman says, I got an 06

Cadillac DTS v8 Northstar 130,000 miles for $2,700, okay well that's not much

money, but it's a Northstar engine and it's a 13-year old Cadillac, if you're

planning on driving 20,000 miles a year or so, don't buy it'll bankrupt you, but

if you want it as kind of a toy weekend car, go ahead that's hardly any

money and if it runs good now, but before you put any money down, you have a

mechanic check the head gasket, I've got a video that shows how to tell if your

head gaskets blown you can watch that the kit cost 35 bucks on Amazon and

it'll tell you if the head gasket is blowning if the head gasket is blowing you walk, because

do a head gasket job on that thing it's like a five to seven thousand dollar job

and you wouldn't want to buy it then, you want to check that first, Christian

Ivanoff says Scotty my 1990 Mazda Miata aluminum oil pan is stripped, should I try

to re-thread it and put a larger bolt on, why yes because aluminum

is soft is pretty easy to rethread them they have kits just for those aluminum

things, the first thing I do is, get yourself an oversized drain plug that's

self threading I fixed one I don't know about three

months ago on one and it worked great, I went to Autozone I said, hey can you get

me these oversize self-threading oil drain

plugs for this Mazda, they said sure they had one in the back, they got it to me

and I put it in and I screwed it in and then I screwed it out, and then any

threads would come out and then I screwed it back in again and filled up

and away you went, aluminum pushes out to the side unlike steel and so a lot of

times you won't even get any particles coming out, but even if you get a few

particles when you take it out they'll all drain out when you put a quart of

oil in it, it'll come out of the bottom and then you can put it back in again, I've

done lots of them that way, so if you never want to miss another one of my new

car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!

Cairns in lockdown as United States vice president Mike Pence arrives in Queensland - Duration: 2:15.

Cairns in lockdown as United States vice president Mike Pence arrives in Queensland

Parts of Cairns are in lockdown after United States Vice President Mike Pence touched down in Queensland.

With US President Donald Trump electing to stay on home soil, Pence will instead attend Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings in Papua New Guinea.

Basing himself in the tropical city in Far North Queensland, Pence will fly to PNG each day.

He is expected to outline Australias role in the Indo-Pacific and call for greater economic development to bring the region prosperity.

Other global leaders, such as Canadas Justin Trudeau, have chosen to stay in Port Moresby for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings, which start on Saturday.   

Pence, best known as Trumps right-hand-man, is staying in Cairns for security reasons — and it was on full display on Friday.

Even before Pence was escorted to the Cairns Hilton, the luxury hotel was already under the guard of Queensland Police.

Pences security detail conducted a series of security checks around the hotel — with local police patrolling the area. 

Queensland Water Police are also guarding the harbour this weekend.

The watertight security came as Cairns Airport staff conducted frantic last-minute meetings, with the White House believed to have changed the Vice Presidents arrival time at the eleventh hour.

At this stage, it is unclear how long the US delegation will base themselves in Queensland.

The APEC meetings, hosted in Papua New Guinea for the first time, conclude on Sunday.

US, allies to bring electricity to most of Papua New Guinea - Duration: 2:54.

The U.S., Japan, New Zealand and Australia said they'll bring electricity to 70 percent of Papua New Guinea's people by 2030, boosting the West's response to growing Chinese influence in the South Pacific

The four countries and Papua New Guinea signed the electricification agreement Sunday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting behind held in the capital Port Moresby

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said it shows how strongly the U.S. and its allies are committed to the region

"The commitment of the United States of America to this region of the world has never been stronger," he said

"It's remarkable to think of the impact this will have on people's lives across this nation

Electricity will drive economic growth but as others have said, it will simply improve the quality of life for people across Papua New Guinea for generations to come

" Only about 20 percent of Papua New Guinea's 8 million people have electricity and for a significant proportion of them the supply is not reliable

Most Papua New Guineans live in the highlands and other remote areas. The announcement comes after the U

S., Japan and Australia in July announced a joint effort to finance infrastructure in Pacific island states which China has aggressively wooed with loans and aid

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said bringing electricity to most of Papua New Guinea would be "transformational" for the country
