success in brazil results coming in. to a man who wants to break up the country could take the reigns of power that. and the fight off to the fight. biggest match up descends into chaos as the lightweight champion attacks his opponents team. we begin with the case of missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi whose fate remains on following his disappearance from the saudi consulate in istanbul on tuesday turkish officials believe he was mud it there is his fiance waited for him outside saudi arabia insist those allegations are baseless the case is threatening to torpedo relations between the regional rivals while also sparking outrage from those who seek disappearance as a blow to press freedom. reports now from istanbul. jamal hershel g.

has been missing for five days the well known saudi journalist was last seen entering his country's consulate in istanbul on true's day and hasn't emerged since friends and colleagues from around the world now fear the worst they said he entered a concert and he left and we don't know what happened but his wife was out there is so he didn't leave so that's a that's a fact and i think you're probably true that he didn't leave because the video footage you'll see there in a few days i mean it's just not credible and i think anybody who has a sense of decency should understand that this is something not acceptable it's not acceptable to citizen because it's new duty or a different country and just abducted or whatever mean well the operation since his disappearance senior turkish officials have held back from speaking on record in an attempt to avoid the diplomatic fallout with the saudis however on sunday president right up taber iran had this to say the version of only the letter of the prosecutor general and a standalone extensively investigating this incident from

a security intelligence perspective checking of the records of departure and interest them by the airport in particular is ongoing we are awaiting the results of these investigations that said for us to see such an incident taking place in my country mr jamal is an old friend of mine that's why my expectation is still in good faith i wish we don't come up against a situation that we don't desire i do believe that the defenders of freedom and freedom of opinion in our country will follow this matter as president of turkey i will follow this closely and i will announce the results no matter what to the world the law was the former editor in chief of saudi media outlets are not up and then what on and was close to members of the saudi royal family last year however and after the rise of crown prince mohammed bin said a man was banned from writing allegedly because of his comments on the kingdom's relationship with u.s. president donald trump shortly after hushed. she fled his homeland to live in

self-imposed exile in washington he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul it's around one pm on tuesday several hours later a saudi official told his fiance who was waiting outside that he wasn't in the building turkish security sources say a group of saudi officials flew into stumble on the day of his disappearance and were at the consulates when herschel she was there are three days later turkey's foreign ministry summoned saudi arabia's ambassador to ankara and crown prince mohammed bin some months said turkish police could search the saudi consulates they then invited journalists in to show cultural jew was not there. after the turkish police announced they were conducting

a murder investigation saudi arabia state news agency denied accusations that the show was murdered in their consulates. the washington post which controls she wrote opinion pieces for said if the reports of jamal's murder are true it's a monstrous unfathomable act tomorrow was as we hope is a committed courageous journalist the disappearance of her children is i think further strain to talk of saudi relations with officials who are saying they will be releasing security camera video as well as other evidence if an acceptable and convincing explanation from the saudis is not forthcoming. they stumble or a delegation of saudi prosecutors have visited the consulate in istanbul on sunday the saudi ambassador to turkey says the delegation is working with the turkish counterparts to investigate what happened to crush. earlier we spoke to david her status or in chief of the online publication middle east ally is as the inquiry calm proceed until investigators are allowed into the consulate. my understanding

is that a forensic team. is still awaiting permission from the scientists go in the forensic team are very confident that they will find traces of blood and other human remains inside the concert is it streaming difficult apparently to cover this up unless you physically destroy the walls and the room in which it was murdered and they will start releasing the detents over the next few days but it's going to be a criminal. investigation is going to the prosecutor who releases it not the politicians but what they want to do space can make the world wake up to what has happened in atrocious crime you know consulate in a in a european city this is unbelievable jamal was a model saudi he did not consider himself a dissident. he did not criticize saudi arabia over for instance and lisa literally

the war in yemen or indeed the reform program what he was talking about was the lack of democracy in in saudi arabia and huge human rights abuses and he said you cannot have an economic reform unless you have a political hope he's a very moderate mild sensible things to say it's the view of a reformer not a revolutionary now that unfortunately the saudi regime is such that it cannot stomach even moderate criticism and this is what they do so moderate critics i think a civil completions that could be drawn from from this case last one is that the state of saudi turkish relations is dead it doesn't exist anymore there is fury unbridled fury in turkey and they're not bothered about now the relationship confessional relationship the salary the second tactic is that it's now going to be

employed by the in and the presidency is to name and shame and to get twelve's opinion on their side and to leave no iota of doubt as to the facts of what happened. well in brazil's election exit polls say far right candidate. has won the first round of voting a tough on crime politician led his main rival by fourteen points going into polling day former army captain proved extremely popular on the campaign trail particularly since he was stabbed as a rally last month but he's alienated large sections of society by making a soldier mistake and homophobic comments his main rival was the left wing candidate for nanda dad dad is a former mayor of south palo and replaced former president luiz inacio lula da silva as the workers' party candidates you know was disqualified from standing in the election after being convicted of corruption we have two correspondents

covering the story we'll have reaction from to raise above in sao paolo first though let's get the latest latin america at its head lucien human in rio de janeiro and it looks as though. might of gone the distance with exit polls suggesting that he has won the first round what might you be hearing there. man we were expecting him to win the first round but not to win the first election entirely in the first round but let me just tell you the latest official figures from the electoral council the just come out with fifty three percent of the votes counted also not a has forty nine percent of the votes versus only twenty six percent for food nanda had died which means that he just needs a fraction more to actually win this election all out avoiding a runoff at the end of this month as most people had predicted this is really

extraordinary unexpected this is a candidate who a month ago had about had the the highest disapproval rejection rating and who only had out about it earlier in the about twenty eight percent sorry of the of the intention to vote for him so he has really just soared in the polls and in the actual vote joining me to talk about that now and what's happening here in brazil is than years so some political analysts who i hope will be able to explain this really shocking result yes it is because we are having a wave. getting a lot of people that were voting in the beginning when it was in the running people dead hate all together just for him so it's it's a little bit unexpected but it seems that he's going to be very very close of winning today well this is certainly was unexpected just

a week ago everybody presumed that there would be a second it would be a runoff no matter what what changed it changes people who are. the seams that would have a very high vote so people are trying to to vote against beattie and also lots and lots of people there vote for him but doesn't assume. for relatives and friends we just saw that our viewers are clear the p.t. is the workers party of former president lula who was replaced by finance. but you were telling me earlier that this is not a rational vote that a lot of the people who have now voted for from the far right the extreme right of the political spectrum actually had voted before or would have voted for lula how is that possible that's possible because both. very popular figures so people think that they are going to make

a good president doesn't matter their ideas there's a matter what they represent the four but they think that they are going to be the best futures they're going to be the best candidates and the best presidents are not a has said and i'm just going to repeat some of his policies that the best thing is for the police to go in shoot first and ask questions later as a way of fighting crime he is homophobic he believes women should earn mess less than men should stay home and take care of the children and he is a great admirer of chile's former dictator pinochet being that his being things as they are what do you think this means for the future of democracy in brazil many people are concerned yes many people are concerned because of his ideas because of what he has said but i think that brazil is a very big country we have lots of business man so we have.
