taliban. the saudi journalist was killed at his country's consulate in istanbul on the highest orders of the saudi government that's according to reports out of the united states the new york times article cites a senior official has been missing for a week this is him and trying the saudi consulate the last time he was seen alive. it's actually pay for days saba has published photos of fifteen saudi nationals whom police suspect may have been involved and g.'s disappearance media reports say the group flew to istanbul and two planes and entered the consulate the same day the journalist was there and joins us now from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul so stephanie the fifteen photos that we've seen being released want to we

know about who these men are. well the daily salvo one of the turkish newspapers is published their names is published their dates of birth there are allegations that some of them are saudi security officials the data going as far as to say that one of them was someone who is familiar with the autopsies because and this is according to the new york times gruesome detail that. entered that door in the saudi consummate that he was killed within two hours of walking through those doors and what they say is that he was dismembered by a bone so these are horrific details these are again all according to anonymous sources the one thing we are lacking here is evidence but it also gives you a sense that in this country all these leagues will not be coming out without being sanctioned by the highest levels of government in turkey this is a hugely complicated political story so i think we can also say that you know the

turkish authorities don't want to they want to keep breathing room so to speak keep some space of maneuver but this is certainly ramping up the pressure on the saudi authorities when you're talking into this detail as you said the bigger picture through all those reports the new york times the washington post and turkish media is that you had what they're calling a saudi hit squad of fifteen saudi nationals coming here into planes booking into hotels very close to that door they were all supposed to have been inside laying in wait when the saudi journalist went in to finalize some divorce papers because he wanted to get married within two hours they killed him they dismembered his body they don't know where he what next these are all allegations i think also we should bring this back to the fact when we talk about the politics this is a man who has family who has a fiance who these are horrific details coming out and no one has any evidence and i think also this is why we've seen his fiance right and the washington post op ed overnight calling on the u.s. administration particularly talking to the u.s. president and his wife to clarify what has happened to her fiance also asking the

saudi leadership to shoot c.c.t.v. footage saying if you say he left that consulate why don't you show us there are cameras everywhere here laura so it is a. hugely controversial story it is in sight of it is explosive but again we are lacking hard core evidence of anything that happened the only thing we know is that he went into that door and he hasn't been seen or heard from in eight days and absolutely and one of the key links that leaks that is really going to put the pressure is not on by the turkish and the saudi governments now is that he was killed on the orders of the highest levels of the saudi court. absolutely this is another explosive allegation by people will tell you that the crown prince mohammed bin sad and of course he had been critical of his policies and you know the language has been coming out there from this particular journalist in the washington post and also others is that there's been a change since. took power also clamping down on not even people who are

dissidents but just people who highlighted issues with his policies that there was a real fear that even people close to the royal court are being arrested i mean this is an extraordinary story or if it is confirmed people will tell you well the saudis kidnapped the lebanese prime minister took him to riyadh and nothing happened there will there be accountability will we ever know what really happened here because of the huge political consequences implications and complexities geopolitical as well of this story people last year well if it does get confirmed what's going to happen are the americans going to capsize are they going to change their policy when it comes to billions of dollars of sales and weapons and military aid turkey also not really wanting to rock the boat its economy is in a dire situation also depends on saudi even though the relations are strained it is hugely complicated but i think again we have to bring it back to a fact that a journalist went into his own called to that inside turkey to finalize divorce

papers and that the man has disappeared and if we look at all the reports the allegations of him being murdered by a hit squad body parts dismembered and his body disposed of even though they're not confirmed is something credibly where it absolutely is his staff of the moment thanks very much for joining us from istanbul. had to check and digs made a public appeal to the u.s. writing in the washington post she has said abyss time i am pool president and first lady of milan in a trump to help shed light on jamal's disappearance i also saudi arabia especially can sell man and crown prince. had been summoned to show the same level of sensitivity and released c.c.t.v. footage from the constant jamal as a valuable person an exemplary thinker and a courageous man who has been fighting for his principles i don't know how i could keep living if he was abducted or killed in turkey. or the u.s.

government has demanded full investigation into kosovo g.'s disappearance but there are growing calls in washington for action against saudi arabia has more. one week on since the disappearance of american resident jamal khashoggi in istanbul and the u.s. is still chasing answers i know nothing right and i know what everybody else knows now the u.s. state department insists it is pressuring the saudis were not going to make any judgments about what had happened to him the united states is certainly concerned about his whereabouts a senior officials at the state department have spoken with saudi officials through diplomatic channels about the matter we call on the government of saudi arabia to conduct a thorough trant and transparent investigation at a washington conference discussing come to events in saudi arabia concerned for the journalist disappearance bubbled under the surface one human rights activist says the u.s. must take much stronger action than just expressing concern i'd like to see the u.s. demand that the saudis produce him and if they can't produce him produce

a detailed explanation including documentation c.c.t.v. footage whatever is necessary to demonstrate what did happen to him. donald trump has forged close links with saudi arabia his first foreign trip was to the kingdom when he entertained crown prince mohammed bin salman at the white house he boasted of significant arms deals he wants the saudis to help bring in iran's regional ambitions and to sell any white house middle east peace plan to the palestinians but politicians on both sides are more shinton see if what the turks are saying is true and should she was murdered in the consulate in istanbul than there has to be a significant change to us so the relations as elected leader we stand with you in the media in solidarity to making sure that this does not go unnoticed if this is true if the saudi regime murdered murdered a journalist critic in their own consulate there must be a culpability and there must be an unequivocal condemnation by the united states

one middle east expert says any change has to be well thought out but i do think it needs a retail operation or you. i think a very strong unequivocal message needs to be sent to riyadh that there are consequences for these kind of actions and that american support is not unconditional there's growing pressure on the saudis to come up with answers about what actually happened in istanbul and if they do and there's a growing number of politicians in the united states who say that must significantly change the relationship between the two countries alan fischer al-jazeera washington well then collins a cia officer and sabs is the deputy national intelligence officer for trans national threats the national intelligence council he says source is leaking information on both sides so just how complex this case is as an intelligence officer what first dishonors has me is that such. an intercept would

be made public if in fact it occurred because that then makes clear it would make clear to the saudis and everyone else that the americans were intercepting saudi transmissions that would be assumed by it should be by every country anyway but i'm very surprised that one would would confirm this by letting the information out now the fact what has been intercepted is also notable because if true and there are now seem to be in creasing disparate bits of information that corroborates or substantiate the other pieces of information it would be shocking act and tess clee glaring one would there or were an intelligence operation would be really in cock up and to lure someone into your own consulate and then murder the person and and while you know that your entrances and exits are all being

videoed is astounding. of the news now and police in germany have charged with murder over the death of a bald garion journalist that year old victoria madden over was raped and killed in the northern pole garion town of ruse she'd been investigating alleged fraud with the e.u. funds involving businessmen and politicians her body was found in a park and showed signs of suffocation and blows to the head dominic cain joins us now from then so tell me what we know about the man arrested. well the information has been coming out in the course of the last few hours laura have to say that very much of what is out there as it were is unconfirmed uncorroborated what is confirmed is the general forages say they have a right handed this individual and they did so following the application for a european arrest warrant by their ball garion counterparts so that much is confirmed regarding the unconfirmed reports about this person well there are some

there's some ambiguity well gary and sources seem to suggest that this person is in his late twenty's was here in germany as some discrepancy perhaps they say that he's in his early twenty's from bug area the indication is that this person came to germany on sunday last weekend and there is some speculation involved garion sources that perhaps one of his parents lives in germany and that is why he made his way here one other unconfirmed suggestion in one ball gary and you source is that when police went to his address they found the mobile telephone of victoria mad enough to the thirty year old journalist who as you say was sexually assaulted and murdered so those are the unconfirmed facts what is confirmed for the moment at least is that the german authorities haven't branded this suspect and as i say it was following the application for a european arrest warrant or they're both gary and counterparts so don't make

should we now expect the general far seems to hand this man over to the ball garion authorities who are investigating how. well on the face of it that would be the knowledge of the outcome or wouldn't the warrant was applied for the european level bother about gerunds they will want to investigate to build a case to prosecute the individual a belief has carried out that murder of the thirty year old journalist victoria mad enough to be clearly for that to happen the germinal thora these have to go through with their side of the equation which clearly is to hold this person in custody to ascertain the facts they can to check that they have the right individual the individual of gerunds have asked for and clearly this individual will have rights of his own may want to contest extradition so that would be the next progression as it were in this case but remember so far at least what we know to be corroborated

facts is that the german authorities have this individual ok dominic for the moment thanks very much for brains the violates his lines that. the law has hair on al-jazeera iraq's new government faces major challenges to pacify angry besant and the oil rich south. there's flooding in the western harms of scotland on the norwegian coast that cloud has been streaming rain for a couple of days and big showers in the western med has shown up for the morning rush hour was street flooding in barcelona thing to severe but notable nevertheless and that finger of rain stretches from the rowing valley it's a southerly breeze so this is warm and wet air which means temperature wise twenty two in london twenty five in paris of
