leader all cameron is gone now it's not very clear if they are going to let us not even clear how many people will come out and polls there are thirty million eligible voters but less than that have projected to go in this election so whatever the results are it's it's going to be a very interesting result all right thank you very much more than our correspondent there in the camera capital ellen de. now a five point nine magnitude earthquake has killed at least ten people in haiti the police chief of the northwest region said seven people died in port deposit the northern town close to the epicenter and three others have died in a town further south still to come here down jazeera brazilians prepared to go to the polls in the most divisive election since the country's return to democracy three decades ago.

istanbul. the number of people missing after indonesia's quake and tsunami rises dramatically. also some mentoring a conservative majority in the u.s. supreme court brett kavanaugh is sworn in after a close vote in a basically divided senate. i'm joined again with the sports have my comment of pete's conover director in that big u.f.c. fight but it's what happens off to was this far in the results in doubt. turkish authorities believe a saudi journalists missing since tuesday has been killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. disappeared four days ago after entering the building to pick up marriage paperwork turkish officials told reuters the police believe the murder was premeditated and the body moved out of the building denies kushal ji was
6:50 pm
killed at the consulate. following the. joins us now from a well i mean pretty dramatic developments that the night. was a pretty conclusive in their account of what's happened. in the lore i mean initially the concern was over. the safety people or the man doing for his immediate release there was a protest outside the consulate on friday but by saturday unfortunately became more and more worrying the messages that were coming from officials and by the evening after turkish security sources had said that they had tracked fifteen saudi nationals among some of fish bowls entering the country the same day that jamaat was at the concert it's going to the concert at the same time tomatoes at the consulate and then very quickly leaving or fleeing the country that they had believed that this was not turned into a murder investigation on that they were trying to track down exactly the culprits
6:51 pm
and so forth so people obviously rightfully. shocked and saddened with the news of the what they understand to be the murder and i saw the nation of this journalist as you know these security officials said that they have c.c.t.v. footage and other evidence that they will be releasing in the coming twenty four hours they had said forty eight hours on saturday so we expect by the end of play on monday each of seen some sort of evidence if indeed that is the case but it is a quick shift from how tight lipped. authorities have been since the beginning of the disappearance of the social she where in the beginning we haven't heard anything it seems that they were trying to exhaust diplomatic channels to try and find a way out of this so that there isn't a fallout between riyadh and ankara however it seems that the saudis did not respond positively to do all the chores made by turkish officials here and
6:52 pm
therefore the turks feel their hand has been forced on the way or they have been led to really. some of the information which as you mentioned has led them to conclude that she was murdered by saudi or preserves in the consulates in turkey and indeed that to all of this is coming from unnamed sources within. two weeks. to come out with this on the record today. while there was a murmurings initially late on saturday the president of iran whose true address his parties they have a retreats and weekend conference and he was in the coming hours on sunday there was murmuring that he was going to talk about this issue we're now hearing that possibly he may not regardless it will be important to monitor that speech and figure out exactly what will be in it but it seems that we are coming close to that
6:53 pm
breaking point of whereby something's got to give initially there was this to and fro as i mentioned through diplomatic channels through back channels whereby there was an attempt to try and find a way out where it would save face both for turkey and saudi without having this fall out they haven't been able to agree that diplomats at least will probably tensions amongst themselves and therefore the turks have made the stuff up their game by saying ok well this is what we know in an attempt maybe to get the saudis them to come forth and come clean with what they have done for them short they have given like i say that forty eight hour were not an ultimatum they said within forty eight hours we will be releasing it and so maybe that's their window to the saudis that come forward within that time if it doesn't come through then i think those unnamed sources will become very much named and will be on camera and on record to display exactly what's went down and what's happened to. extraordinary story we'll be following it extremely closely throughout the day thanks very much. now in
6:54 pm
diseases disaster relief spokesman says that as many as five thousand people may be missing from last week's earthquake and tsunami that figure is significantly higher than the one thousand that officials initially estimated to be buried beneath the rubble. also announce that the search for victims will end on thursday at this point they'll be listed as missing presumed dead and thomas joins us now from robbers so andrew we should expects for the death toll in this instance a jump significantly. lower unfortunately that's the case if this five thousand number is people who have died rather than remain simply missing then that would triple or more than trickle in fact the number that we know who have already lost their lives in this disaster we should add a few cab yes because this big jump to five thousand missing people took us all a bit by surprise to be honest it was revealed at
6:55 pm
a press conference in jakarta just a couple of hours ago and we were all scrambling thinking how does this number come about and it's come from the government talking to local community leaders a village leaders here empower other one suburb of the city of hollywood and also and to talk about a different suburb a few kilometers from where i'm standing and they talk to them and i said who is still unaccounted for in your area so there could be some double counting going on it might be that some people fled this area in the aftermath of the earthquake and didn't tell anybody so we should put those caveats on nevertheless a huge jump in the official number of missing and also the other big news from that press conference is that these recovery efforts will be ending on thursday in four days' time and. that's right well thursday or friday in fact will be two weeks since the earthquake struck an experts say that after that amount of time called these things decomposed to the extent where they really aren't identifiable and also if they haven't been found by the state then in all
6:56 pm
likelihood they're buried very deep in this mud in this area and in the two areas that suffered from this liquefaction where the ground ascension turns into liquid and swallows everything down well if they are that deep then really they're already essentially in graves and relatives are being talked to by officials and they are beginning to accept that it's quite possible their loved ones bodies will never be found on that liquefaction the government now says that back in twenty two of the geological survey was done of this area and back then they knew it was abominable to liquefaction so questions will be asked there as to why more wasn't done to warn people or even move people from these areas people who were living here a list really is destroyed this here is the size really of a large city park. many many thousands have been it's an area will be turned into a memorial park forested memorial the government says no one will return here they're also talking about reconstruction efforts and the budget for that they're going to allocate thirty seven million u.s. dollars over the next two years to get this city and this part of the way easy back
6:57 pm
on its feet long road to recovery is and. look at the survivors and how they're coping was a lot of say is the disease spreading among places of shelter to survivors what's the situation on that front. well lots and lots of people still living in the open air living in tents their homes are still standing to go back into them because of they're worried about aftershocks there aren't as many aftershocks and i've been here since last tuesday with some very strong aftershocks early on we haven't noticed any frankly in the last couple of days nevertheless people still don't want to go back to their homes and what that means is lots and lots of people living in the open air in a big essentially camps in different parks and government gardens around this city when you've got that many people living in close proximity to each other the concerns about these are always an issue and people don't have proper toilets of course they do now have drinking water in bottles but you know where you wash your
6:58 pm
hands all of that kind of everyday thing that you need to deal with in the aftermath of the disaster like this so that is definitely a concern thankfully as yet no reports of outbreaks of disease but also people getting injured all the time there are so much debris around this city and in the clean up operation hasn't begun at all that has up to now just being search and rescue and the recovery of bodies so the actual cleanup of of debris which is everywhere hasn't begun ok andrew thomas frey is the latest from barbara thank you very much indeed the u.s. secretary of state has returned from a meeting with north korea's kim jong aimed at meeting making progress on nuclear disarmament pompei was also working to set up another summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump at the last summit kim said he would work towards denuclearization there's been no agreement on how to put that into action brett kavanaugh president trump supreme court choice has been sworn in after a contentious senate vote sends a spend more than thirty hours giving their final testimonies for and against
