taleban. turkey's state major have released the late last known footage of missing saudi journalist and critic jamal khashoggi and it seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on the day he vanished they've also footage of the men believed to be involved in his disappearance the new york times reported that he was killed at his country's consulate on the highest orders of the saudi government the newspaper cites a senior turkish official well correspondent stephanie decker is following all the lines from outside saudi consulate in bull and stephanie was saying get more leaks this time it's footage released to the turkish media. that's correct and it's quite sinister watching it because it shows the movements really of the man of the fifteen saudi nationals that as you mentioned anonymous
12:02 pm
sources nothing is official on camera at the moment are saying were behind the killing say or the killing. in that consulate behind me eight days ago what they say is that they flew on two planes and this you see t.v. footage shows the planes on the tarmac it shows the man going through airport. security impossible to control it shows them outside here then leaving the called into that so what it maps together appalls of the what they believe happened on that day there's also been further leaks laura which is that emerged this morning overnight a the turkish media having pictures of these men and their names some of them saying that some of them a part of saudi intelligence the days are going as far as saying that one of them was an autopsy expert the new york times gruesome detail again quoting an anonymous turkish senior official saying that jamal khashoggi was killed two hours ofter he entered that exact door eight days ago because those men were waiting inside saying
12:03 pm
that his body was dismembered with a body soul a bone saw that the men carried this is gruesome horrific detail we have no evidence at the moment but certainly there's a step up in information that's being leaked and you know coming from turkey you would expect this to be have sanctioned by the senior levels of government is of course a very difficult political story as well but this is the picture also that american intelligence as you mentioned it intercepted conversations between senior saudi officials talking about the possible capture of the saudi journalist it is a horrific story it is a shocking story again no evidence at the moment but all these leaks pointing to something very very sinister and serious having happened behind me in that building and certainly as a shocking story. remind us why assad is wise and wanted to target. well he left the kingdom around a year ago moving to washington d.c.
12:04 pm
he wrote for a major publication the washington post op ed editorials where he criticised the policies of the current crown prince mohammed bin sad man and he's been quoted recently saying that he was growing increasingly concerned not just for his own safety but other you know sort of voices that had been arrested voices that were close to the royal court that weren't called dissidents so to speak but were just just had a different form of opinion to those of the crown prince and his policy so you know people will tell you that this has happened before saudi arabia has gone off to voice of dissent before but certainly not in what the picture that's being painted at the moment which is a man going back into that consulate he was pulled back to finalize divorce papers because he wanted to get married to his fiance she waited outside he went in there to do that and according to all these reports he was murdered by a hit squad and of course we still don't know where his body is again all of this is unconfirmed but it is an incredibly worrying and serious situation indeed. for
12:05 pm
the moment thanks very much brings the latest there from istanbul. shanahan is research fellow at the lowry institute for international policy and he says the incident puts the turkish government in a difficult position. you know isn't this probably one of those issues that national leaders have to face today and rather not face you know accusations that saudi arabia who encouraged like to invest in the economy which is not doing particularly well at the same time prison is on the opposite side of the dispute with cattle so this is a very loaded issue for our present iran especially scott two issues yes a deal with one. a very. exhaustive investigation into exactly what a third so as far as it is possible to know the events surrounding the disappearance
12:06 pm
of the edge of our show me and then exactly what he does with that in order to advance to his interests. to hopefully shine a light on sally activities but not to do it in such a way that the relationship with their riyadh would be terminated as say had to change angus's made a public plea to the u.s. rising in the washington post she said at this time i implore president trampin first lady malani are trying to help shed light on jamal's disappearance i also urge saudi arabia especially can sell man a crown prince mohammed bin someone to say the same level of sensitivity and release c.c.t.v. footage from the consulate jamal is a valuable person an exemplary thinker and a courageous man who has been fighting for his principles i don't know how i can keep living if he was abducted or killed in tech came. the u.s. government has demanded a full investigation into casualties disappearance and there are growing calls in
12:07 pm
washington for stronger action against saudi arabia allan vesa 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 the detailed explanation including documentation c.c.t.v. footage whatever is necessary to demonstrate what did happen to him. donald trump
12:08 pm
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 seeing is true and could should you 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 journalist cricket in their own consulate there must be a culpability and there must be an unequivocal condemnation by the united states
12:09 pm
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 they say that must significantly change the relationship between the two countries alan fischer al-jazeera washington. is a cia officer and served as deputy national intelligence officer a transnational threats at the u.s. national intelligence council he says so is leaking information on both sides says just how complex this case says as an intelligence officer what first astonishes me is that such. an intercept would be made public if in fact it occurred
12:10 pm
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 should be by every country anyway but i'm very surprised that one would confirm this by letting the information know 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 acts and tests clearly glaring one which there are 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 really. and leader of bangladesh's main opposition party has been sentenced to life

12:12 pm
a person in connection with the european arrest warrant that was applied for and procured by paul guerin the authorities looking into investigating the rape and murder of the thirty year old journalist victoria mad enough to be confirmed facts as i say of those unconfirmed sources so far at least both here in germany and involved area shedding a little bit more light on what's this this individual and what and his movements involve garia the suggestion has been that he fled the country on sunday of last week and came to germany and there is speculation involved parents because one of his parents lives in this country there's also speculation that when the authorities went to an address of his they found the mobile telephone of murder journalist because he amount enough to the next step given that this is a european arrest warrant process will be extradition but clearly the individual concerned has rights and will be able to contest it if he wishes. still ahead here

believed to be involved in his disappearance. u.s. state department in the un are calling for a full and transparent investigation into the case. of the whereabouts of the list. although police in germany have arrested a man in connection with the murder of a. victorian my neighbor was raped and killed in the northern town of blues should be investigating suspected fraud with the new funds involving businessman and politician. resident scholar at the middle east institute and also served as u.s. ambassador to turkey he says the case could change the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia. well i think this is really pressure to put the saudis on notice that they must give a transparent explanation very quickly i think otherwise the tide will really turn
12:17 pm
against them and it's now been nearly a week and nothing has been shown to be proven about his safety so i just remind our listeners that recently forty seven senators voted to cut off the saudi arms sales now that's four short of a majority but this is exactly the kind of incident that wouldn't just be a senator holding up arms sales as one of your correspondent said but actually legislation in the u.s. senate to stop saudi arms sales so it is beginning to reach a genuine crisis point now which can be solved very quickly but the saudis are really on the spot i seriously doubt the senate's going to vote to cut off saudi arms sales this week they'll try to get the saudis to give an explanation the administration will try to be as cautious as they can be given the realities of the circumstance after all research to show he is also
12:18 pm
a journalist for an american newspaper and but but eventually and that may be quickly if the saudis don't come up with something the arms sales bill the the the lack of interest and pleasure in the yemen war that saudi is prosecuting those are the kinds of things that can turn very quickly into a political statement that will damage saudi relations with the united states and damage saudi's reputation worldwide. well the mystery surrounding the disappearance of jamal khashoggi has once again brought attention to the plight of journalists around the wild. is no exception that the profession has become more dangerous in recent months is there a man europe since there was money or a pillow reports from. assaults harassment and death threats have come to characterize the working conditions for many independent journalists and. maybe
12:19 pm
not have been there yet but what we have a video journalist and recalls the moment he was shot in the arm while covering an anti-government demonstration only one batter. i tried to stand and couldn't contract couldn't feel it i mediately thought the worst. moments after being shot other journalists rushed to winston's aid and drove him to a private hospital winstone says most of his colleagues have also been the targets of attacks. is winston's boss and the founder of one hundred percent news he says that since the unrest began threats against his staff haven't stopped said but only thing being a journalist today is a matter of life and death. we've been harassed shot at angry mobs sent by the government to intimidate us at one point we were under siege unable to leave the building for several days. last april in the

trumpet ministration in particular following the appointment of mike pump aoa secretary of state and former u.n. ambassador john bolton as national security adviser but president trump says discussion with haley about her possible resignation had started as long as six months ago and unlike other members who left his administration he keeps open the possibility of her rejoining it we're all happy for you in one way but we hate to lose you know hopefully you'll be coming back at some point but if you want to just be a different capacity you can have your pick if are all in here that are going to ask about twenty twenty no i'm not running for twenty twenty i can promise you when i'll be doing is campaigning for this one so i look forward to supporting the president in the next elections the question now who's going to be the next ambassador to head up the u.s. mission just over the road president trump says he'll announce a successor in the next two to three weeks possibly even sooner signaling that he
