it's approaching two hundred fifty kilometers an hour it may be days before the full extent of the damage is known but a lot of people are very poor in certain of those areas and it's very tough for them to leave in apalachicola there's now the prospect of a massive cleanup operation the tidal surges here have for now receded but the experience for many was terrifying the trade to keep blowing and blowing and it just got crazy i'm renovating the filed right here. in the window of the blown out the water you got the floor level the damage done across this part of florida may run into the billions of dollars but flooding remains a concern as hurricane michael continues to churn steadily northward towards the state of georgia this is what the residents of florida's panhandle will eventually return home to flooded businesses submerged cars but the biggest threat may be these tiny little surges that continue to get pushed in by this powerful storm that say authorities could be the biggest threat in the hours to come. the recovery here
4:01 pm
will take weeks months or even years but michael hasn't finished his destructive path the storm's path will take it north and it remains powerful and dangerous and gallacher al-jazeera apalachicola florida. to indonesia now where a magnitude six earthquake off the islands of java and bali has killed three people and cause widespread panic it comes to weeks after more than two thousand people died in a major quake and tsunami on the island of so the way see as many as five thousand more remain buried in the mond well the response to the disaster and so the way see is on the agenda at the annual meeting of the international monetary fund and the world bank in bali the global economic outlook poverty eradication and economic development are also up for discussion we're joined now by correspondent scott hired lawyer who is live for us in bali and this meeting happening scott as indonesian authorities announced an end to the recovery operation and so the way.
4:02 pm
absolutely elizabeth yeah you know it's been two weeks since that the devastating earthquake and tsunami here in indonesia and as you said they're transitioning now the government saying from a rescue and search operation into what happens next and someone at here at these meetings to talk about this further with us is ejaz vasquez of the world bank and you know when we look at this. going from the search and rescue operation now we're going to the next step what are the important steps for the indonesian government now that that part of the that phase after this disaster is over thank you so much on first of all our thoughts with the victims and so many people affected by these horrible discussed. the search and rescue operations conclude then that and there's a phase in to the basic recovery to make sure that the basic services the water sanitation on electricity transportation are open so that they committed this kind of star figuring out ways to peel back their households and to be able to really
4:03 pm
figure out how to get the economy to come together now after this you told me what happens is the process of reconstruction large numbers of thousands of instructors were destroyed and therefore the question is how to make sure that there are build back better with better standards in locations that are less risky to be able to have much better planning to these places and to get when you look at the economic health of a nation that it suffers from a disaster such as this maybe if you can speak generally about how important it is that they're prepared for it economically financially but then also maybe can bring it down to a specific level here in indonesia in how they're prepared for this absolutely so i'm a nation that is moving from a learning for starters to high income status has a tremendous opportunity to be able to do the following as they build an infrastructure they build their cities organize sort of their is to make sure that the infrastructure that is deal that the communities that are constructed the houses that are built are done in a way that is what we see and do all kinds of the systems in the nation is affected
4:04 pm
by the quake tsunamis one candidate said i'm there for understanding how to me my. is the reason the construction point of view is going to put second have to have early warning system that allows people to know when on the start that maybe you are now what is it that they need to do just not just the infrastructure bodies their communities being able to understand and know how to respond to these next and then finally have the financial easterlies to be able to have their resources toward the recovery and the reconstruction fast with a fast of that you do that recovery and reconstruction the less the economy give the private sector going to start activities again the house is going to rickles target lights all together so this is important and actively middle income countries have a tremendous opportunity to grow fives you know way that is more resilient to the future thank you very much of the day proceeded so live with obviously a lot of work still ahead for those not residents here in indonesia affected by this twin disaster but as we were just hearing it's important that they're prepared for it but then also what good lessons they can learn from it especially when it comes to financing and how they can rebuild their lives has been scott thank you
4:05 pm

clearly attributable to the indefinite nature of detention held on a roof for five years which for many of them no resolution in sight i mean here now the country is hosting the international summit of the french speaking world that is despite only having around ten thousand french speakers among its three million population the two day meeting has attracted many world leaders including french president on and canadian promise just intrude on the problem faster walker has more from the capital yet ever. you better believe that learning french would be at the top of my list sophia the un's first bro but ambassador recognizing that the francophone world needs to be taken seriously french is after all the world's fastest growing language by twenty sixty five a billion people will be speaking it according to the international organization of life francophonie but at the francophone business forum some believe this
4:14 pm
organization is actually a space for talking the international language of money i think is the opportunity for everybody english or i mean french people to get some pleasure to normal how is very important now is not the language for me the reason where did we do business is to win the francophone village you get a sense of what this organization is all about eighty four countries are not just friends speaking ones representing more than i wonder million people promoting peace and prosperity think of it as a kind of french united nations for the armenian hosts this summit has special significance mass street protests brought about a peaceful revolution in may was you government needs friends. it also needs investors in promising young sectors like the tech industry after the
4:15 pm
revolution we have more and more interest from different investors coming to us and being very excited about what has happened in armenia because democratic change also missed them accredit institutions democratic economic institutions transparent business environment. this summit is about showing the world that the left francophonie is increasing its reach and that our media is open for business robyn first year will al-jazeera. now the u.k. science museum is promising visitors a bright day out whatever the weather a new exhibition shows how the sun has influenced every aspect of human life and why it still fascinates us now the baba reports from london. it's our closest star but in many ways it's still a mystery the sun has influenced our belief systems our arts our travel and of
4:16 pm
course it's the basis for life on earth this show at london's science museum looks back at how we used to think about the sun and forwards the challenges like really harnessing its energy with things like solar panels going forward said energy we are seeing a lot more technological development for the first time it's actually thought it become cheaper than fossil fuels but we do need that push from politics and also from the everyday population as well these you would find. one idea featured here is how scientists have tried to recreate the nuclear reactions the power of the sun known as nuclear fusion they thought they'd succeeded in the one nine hundred fifty s. but they hadn't and even with the latest machines like this recent prototype nobody's managed to get more energy out than what they put in if you can on a commercial basis is cracked and the results could be game changing the amount of energy you can get out from using the atoms together is absolutely vast millions and millions of times more efficient than the burning of fossil fuels.
4:17 pm
one of the main messages from this exhibition is the huge variety of ways in which we humans use the songs movement and its energy for our own benefit but there's a warning as well the sun's activities could pose a real threat to our planet a threat very few people know much about the sun. it's called space weather and in particular solar storms when the sun throws out huge clouds of plasma. there's this interactive game shows the phenomenon cannot count satellites in space and power grids here on earth there are things that people are doing so the met office now maintains a twenty four hour space weather forecasting center where they monitor the watching out for signs of one of these major storms and if you get more warning that means you can warn the people who. you can ground flights to avoid people getting high doses of radiation at high altitude one of these things going up on the scientists
4:18 pm
could get more answers fairly soon and nasa probes set off towards the sun this summer and in twenty twenty the european space agency launches its solar orbiter from its vantage point forty two million kilometers from the sun it could provide clues about what drives the sun's magnetic fields. back here on earth the team at the science museum are hoping this exhibition will attract a big audience and some stellar reviews. al-jazeera london. with the headlines on al-jazeera about partisan group of twenty two u.s. senators has triggered an official investigation into the disappearance of the journalist. it was last seen entering the consulate in istanbul over a week ago the washington post says crown prince mohammed bin ordered an operation
4:19 pm
to detain. and returned home to. well turkey's president the one has told journalists that the saudi claim that the consulate cameras weren't working when she disappeared as inconceivable. he finds it very strange why these security cameras weren't working or weren't recording as is claimed by this saudi officials they say that this building behind me even though it's equipped and we see just from the outside these five or six different security cameras so god knows how many are in sight there as well they claim that despite being kids it out with all these surveillance cameras that they were recording on the day that's. something which they're people finding very difficult to believe this comes after the turkish authorities had released c.c.t.v. footage of the different fifteen saudi nationals who are arrived on the same day on
4:20 pm
different flights and identified them including forensic experts deal with autopsies a magnitude six earthquake off the indonesian islands of java and body has killed three people it comes as the official search for bodies in the island comes to an end two weeks after the area was devastated by a major earthquake and tsunami. people in florida are assessing the damage caused by one of the strongest storms to ever make landfall in the u.s. how can michael soft strays from the ground and caused widespread flooding now moving over neighboring georgia and has been downgraded to a tropical storm. hundreds of brazilians. follow against the far right presidential candidates. he is leading the polls ahead of time on the twenty eighth of october and is expected to win. the headlines on that do
4:21 pm
stay with inside story is coming up next thank you very much for watching. the new york times says the was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul and turkish media have published pictures of what they say are the agents sent to kill him but the saudis insist he left the building so what happened to her this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm hooked up to hamid on the afternoon of tuesday october second so my question is be walked into to saudi arabian consulate in
4:22 pm
istanbul his fiance who was waiting for him outside says he never came out now we know more about what may have happened we have a lot to discuss with our guests but first this report with the latest from stephanie decker in istanbul turkey sources say these men arrived at istanbul airport with a mission to either abductor or kill. they flew into it stumbled on the same day the saudi journalist was due to return to the consulate to finalize some paperwork they're suspected to have been inside the consulate when he entered the building around a quarter past one local time on the off to noon of the second of october the turkish newspaper has published the pictures and the names of the fifteen saudi nationals that the turks say were part of the so-called saudi hit squad the new york times goes into further detail quoting an anonymous senior turkish official saying ankara believes she was killed inside the consulate at the orders of the highest level of
4:23 pm
the saudi royal court. then gruesome detail the shot he was killed within two hours of this moment and that his body was dismembered by the saudi team with a bone saw in what seems to be a deluge of leaks the washington post then divulging that before his disappearance u.s. intelligence intercepted communications of saudi officials discussing possibly detaining him out. it is unclear whether he was ever warned i'm very surprised that one would 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 commission it would be a shocking act and teske lee glaring one there were were telling us
4:24 pm
operation would be really in cock up and to someone into your own consulate and then murder the person and. while you know that your entrances and exits are all being videoed is astounding and this new information seems to be destroying the attempt by the turks or it's a random question on saudi arabia turkey place or has it gone on camera and evidence and been presented to back up those iraqis the story of a major political instincts of. a surgeon his fiance had teacher and is seen here waiting for her fiance outside the consulate and she's written in the washington post the u.s. paper she contributed to pleading with the u.s. president to clarify what happened to her fiance and also in the saudis to release security camera footage she says she doesn't want to believe that he's been killed stephany decker stumble.
4:25 pm
pulp fiction that's how a turkish official is describing this question well to discuss more we have our guests joining us from washington d.c. is ali ahmed the director of the gulf affairs institute and a former political prisoner in saudi arabia in london joining us on skype chris phillips the former head of the national counterterrorism security office in the u.k. and somebody who is there he is a lecturer at the city of bristol college in the u.k. welcome to all of you and elaborate let me start with you that the new york time claims that actually high shows he was killed inside the consulate and that those orders came from the highest levels of the royal court how credible is that for you . i'm not sure yet about if he was killed or kidnapped. yet but it's true it's very clear to us after the release of the fifteen member
4:26 pm
the names of these. of this team that two of them at least a person the bodyguards over mohamed bizzle among the crown prince so this is looks to me from looking at the names that this was not even an intelligence operation because this is a hodgepodge of sabbahi guards here and some doctor from the minister of the interior and some other people who even one of them works in the in the in the in the special forces in the army so this was not an intelligence professional operation and i think that's why they have a lot of a lot of evidence and they didn't do a good job but we don't know if this was a murder i would assume this was more of a kidnap. attempt that winter and if it did occur it did if it did go wrong but if it was a murder then again this is this this is like what the turkish government said came from ahmed hassan money absolutely there is no doubt about that well it has to be
4:27 pm
underlined as you said that most of the information we have so far which is they ate since when. he went into the consulate is coming to us through the media we haven't heard any official version yet but it's about how. one fact is that there is a fifteen member team that arrived from saudi arabia to stumble early in the early hours of the morning of that the october second as second fact another also route that came out today is that the washington post is saying that is citing u.s. intelligence services as saying that they had actually they had intercepted communications between saudis because discussing the capture of jamal.
4:28 pm
why is jamal has surely was such a concern for does sound you oil family. first of all there is no fact at all. from this all poor fabricated stories and intelligence you know. information is the only fact is she disappeared where is he god knows i hope on they pray to god that he is still a life when we sleep last three games against what is on average it's shouldn't so far it is no official version but why do you say that fabricated story well if you if you listen to me if you if you can't if you let me in a continual you will see what i'm going to say i don't trust the washington post i don't trust the eunuch times the same the same way newspapers back in nineteen ninety one before the invasion of iraq they have sex it up. your rated prefabricated all of the stories against iraq and even the colin powell
4:29 pm
theoretically theoretical. recall play and the united nations this case just imagine oh ok let me finish please i'm back in twelve for for guess two thousand and four this is what happen the washington post apologizes for under playing what w m d skepticism they say that we were more concerned getting stories first than getting stories right at their motives at the time we are going to war why we. even have that contrary stuff and exactly the same thing is happening no. thing is happening now i can even sure that it is our fabricated. because this is history ok we're not. talking about saudi arabia there is no sir there is no history in saudi arabia kills or or assassinate you know opponent or
4:30 pm
dissidents except two famous countries israel iran saudi arabia know how stupid is to kill a dissident or opponent inside the embassy and the funny things there are twenty to thirty people involved may remain as you are. certainly over the past year over the past few years there has been many stories of people being detained and people being charged without any proof in saudi arabia it is old you know they have been many stories lately didn't go as far as killing but if i remember well there was no this and i don't know the don't don't get not mix the issues of police or the ok twin and turn on the external first and then the efforts this is another completely different much or when you get to the blogs or she is a saudi citizen if you go to. yeah that's good if you go to google machine in a searching machine and put you know any assassination out of the action and then
4:31 pm
embassy you never see there is nothing whatsoever this is the first time i know from where from saudi arabia this is forced on twenty to thirty people involved and so his body and soul is very imposing and you know screwball it's only top russian involved earnings to put on how old is that so does intelligence twenty to thirty people no way well i don't believe in that i don't take it at all ok let's go now on the expertise of chris here i mean. now does turkish authorities are saying that they're going to get access to the consulate in istanbul but it's there eight days later maybe nine they still haven't gone in and they also asked for access to the residence of the general counsel at this stage will they be able to find anything well of course any investigation at this time is crucial only that you get access to a crime scene whatever that crime is whether or not it's an abduction or whether
4:32 pm
it's an assassination we don't know yet to be quite fair but of course the police need to get access to that but it's forensics or other bones that investigates very important. eight nine days later could have been cleaned the area could have been cleaned up and it would be more difficult for them to get evidence i think there's so much to this case so. i don't think it could be more difficult for the for the turkish authorities to conduct an investigation it's in a location which is effectively another country and what access they get who are there allowed to get take into that building will be will time will tell but without the full forensic investigation then we won't know and as you say time really matters and an evidence is lost over time well chris when you read about all . or what's being reported these days. is there anything
4:33 pm
really strike you or any detail strike you to most in all of this did anything point maybe made your mind in one direction or the other. now the whole point of an investigation is that you keep your mind open and it could of course be lots of they could be lots of different stories around this. i imagine there's a lot that's known under the surface through intelligence agencies it's not been given to the media at the moment and that will probably stay in the all sorts in one direction or another i mean none of us know without some evidence none of us known all that we've got the moment is a man has disappeared and he's disappeared from inside an embassy which is a precedent it and you just wouldn't like to think that any country in the world would do something but of course you've got to keep your mind open and you know people die all the time and so it's if the investigation is allowed to go its course then we will have a better chance of knowing what's up ok and. i was i was watching you know had
4:34 pm
in this agreement earlier whoa what do you want to say i want to say that you know the pictures of the fifteen saudis coming into. stumble and that day is a fact we have their pictures when they get into the turkey when they get their visa and we have their names of their passport so we have those pictures and we have their names on saudi t.v. or in saudi media the same people the same faces one or two of them are members of this be as is person royal guards his one of them as ronnie is is is his bodyguard select so that's why it's. so how how can you have the bodyguard of a b. as in a some bullet that day going into the embassy and leaving and these private jets that went with via egypt and the u.a.e.
4:35 pm
these are facts he said not fabrications so that what is why these people are dead ok let's fact that there are pictures out of there that i have looked at the at the at the pictures. i have looked at the airline these two jets i have records companies will fly who monitor the flight path of this. airplane that charted by the saudi minister of defense that z k s one edges e k s to the plane and then we have videos of these planes so it's it is this is a it's not. pictures and names this is fact and that man disappeared this is a fact so even you how can you explain the presence of fifteen saudis in the consulate that day what is that what is what is the answer to that ok the saudis have got. people before and they have killed people inside the country so let me finish i
4:36 pm
didn't cut you off so this saudis did kidnap not sort of site famously from beirut and his his faith has never been known he's probably killed and they have assassinated you know with saudi arabia has a death squad that they have killed protesters even young ones so this is nothing new yes other because other countries like iran and and syria does it it's not. going to do it because it's a crazy idea people do that the thing is the person who detains an elected head of a government said laddie i don't think this is beyond him to kill a dissident in the city because the sometimes power makes you do crazy things and this is exactly what we are seeing we have the mad king of saudi arabia making these decisions because he thinks he can do it without any a precaution just like in the case of of. me and make the case of killing thousands
4:37 pm
of yemenis and starving the entire population with no to action from the international community that i was there i know you disagree what which what is being said but there are certain facts here. defers fact is that their model of pressures really left saudi arabia a year ago because he feared for his own safety and he said it wasn't a place where you could speak your mind anymore another fact is that he entered that consulate shortly after one pm on october second and he never came out or was never seen after that the saudis are saying he came out from a back door but why would he if his fiance was waiting from the front and people any visitor comes in from that comes in and out from the front door this is naive and this is this is you know primitive. thing can. you can't say that everything is fact you've seen the pictures so it could be fabricated i mean let me remind you i
4:38 pm
remind you know my colleagues in london you remember the blair. back before the iraq invasion the forty five minutes attack saddam hussein will attack britain and fight in forty five minutes saddam hussein has you know what kinds of muscle structure saddam hussein has links with al qaida and nothing that so it's easy it's easy to fabricate things is intelligence this is one the other think if you want to ask me if you want to tell me that you know there are some saudi arabia have done this before know this is not true please see the truth ok the true is that. is not the same churchy the book is not that the truth. is not that he's being kidnapped from outside not because he's this intent or he's against his government no the most important reason the many reasons he is he is against you know the militias of iran in syria he is supporting the. saudi wall against. the outlawed houthi and yemen.
4:39 pm
and so he's always with his government but the self-imposed self-imposed. exile and usa that's right enough is what he did with very good friendship with his excellency i mean khalid the ambassador a few of us say and he has got so many contacts with all of it with everybody in saudi arabia still to know so there is no there is no reason whatsoever to assassinate him or to terminate him out of that thing whatsoever there is a conspiracy he's been kidnapped from outside the embassy he's been kidnapped and you know you've already been given from outside the embassy by whom by the third party. sais third party the deep states the deep state he said it very clearly why don't take this as a fact. he said that the deep state ok and the other k.
4:40 pm
let me just bring in most information yet once again i'm just going to bring in the most information came from his from from his fiance on fields who has gotten a bit suspicious contacts and links with with with top governments in qatar top government and hamas top governments in amman top governments and turkey and she's got you know so many relations suspicious relations with the brotherhood. in london let me bring in chris i know it's all we're we are speculating here but it is a fascinating story if not grim as somehow government so. you have this man who goes to the consulate to do it to get a divorce certificate now if we listen to what was leaked into turkish media also in some of the u.s. media these fifteen hits hit squad men. part some of them are special forces
4:41 pm
intelligence officers national guards and a forensic expert they come and with a vat with vans no luggage apparently and they leave with luggage and some of them head to the residence of the general counsel now a new view if you were investigating this while what would be credible or not credible for you and also just a little detail saudi the consulate says that the c.c.t.v. cameras on that day didn't record anything is that rosabel or not. well i mean all these sayings go towards circumstantial evidence that says something very unusual happened of course it doesn't mean to say he's been murdered and chopped up as i think has been mentioned and taken back to saudi arabia doesn't mean that but it goes to what it points in a direction particularly as this has been announced and i don't think you would announce something like this in the turkish government and then that something like
4:42 pm
this if they didn't have some other information which is leading them in that direction so i think in the fullness of time we'll find out exactly what's happened as i said it's very difficult to conduct an investigation in the embassy because it's it is part saudi arabia so they don't have to supply. access to any any investigation team but i think i think there will be a lot more known about this and i think that's what will come out bit by bit as we've seen with the russians cripple. attempted murders then information intelligence gets leaked out over the next few months and years and we will eventually find this out and i think the chances of anything ever come into a court case is is pretty much zero eight it's happened in embassy anyway so be unprecedented for that to end up in a court case but of course it's really important it's important point for the for
4:43 pm
the country for the people that we can't allow this sort of stuff to go on if if what we're saying is happened then that just is not acceptable and it needs to be stopped and we seem to be moving in soon or an area where countries are doing things really outrageous actions that we we haven't seen for many many years so so you know that there are other possibilities that could have happened and the istanbul the turkish police will want to investigate those but getting access to the embassy is going to be impossible but i would say there's other bits that might be useful as well so any c.c.t.v. cameras of the area not just attached to the embassy they'll be other cameras about . c.c.t.v. cameras in the airports where they've been traveling through and of course on the route as well so so there's lots of other evidence that can be collected but the difficulties for the investigators are enormous well some c.t. is some society before this has already been released and it has to be said that the saudis have agreed for turkish investigation team to go into the consulate
4:44 pm
building though elements of this just briefly were because we're going to reach the end of the program very soon. it's very difficult to reach any conclusions but i think the bigger picture in all of this is that you have a saudi regime at the moment who is not accepting any kind of critique even though jamal history has always said that he was neither. he was not in the opposition and he was not in the dissent camp. so but it's a bit scary if that if any of this comes to be chewed and they could be so far reaching. i think. it was a loyalist he says that he has loyalty and you know. allegiance to the king he was critical of b.s. . but this makes it even more dangerous for him because the m.b.a.'s and the saudi

monarch in general does not want to have to give ideas to its followers that they can defect or criticize because if they don't send a strong message that you cannot do that and you have a heavy price if you do then the you will have a wave of defections so that's makes it more dangerous than being just a dissident like myself and i was a target myself for abduction and other activities hacking spying going to mit and the reality is that what i wanted to add is that i think the police the police police police i don't behave please. what what. do you think we should look at i know they kind of go inside to behave please so is that they could they could look at the refuse the garbage if you kill somebody you need to put a huge piece of plastic and that's very hard to get out of plastic so the plastic might have gone with the trash with the garbage you know they can get in the case

of russia here when they had to evacuate the consulate in san francisco they burn stuff so if there is a fire in the in the fire place that will people in this time of the people will notice that there is a fire they're burning plastic or wood or something else so those things have to they have to look at that because they can find evidence i think i think now all eyes are and of investigation and they stumbled but also everybody from the white house are to you and around the world want to get more clarification from the saudi government that will probably take a few days if not a few weeks to come but we have reached the end of this show thanks to all our guests i met chris philip and somehow jose and thank you too for watching you can. to program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page does facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter i handle is at a.j.

in the international community. if it did happen it would be held if saudi arabia took a us resident emerging into a consulate and killed him it's time for the united states to rethink our military political and economic relationship with saudi arabia the president has been eager to forge a relationship with the leadership of saudi arabia heralded tens of billions of dollars in defense deals but with reports that many of those have not come through the president will be under increasing pressure to target saudi arabia he's not alone just about six months ago the crown prince mohammed bin solomon toured america meeting the most powerful people in the country all now being urged on social media to condemn him and for the president it is about to get personal after fiance wrote this opinion piece in the washington post urging action the president said he'll meet her at the white house soon this was

4:53 pm
here in istanbul as well as their ambassador in the united states your happens to be the brother of crown prince mohammed bin sultan both of them said that whilst the building was equipped with cameras and you can see this building behind us we can see on the outside there are several cameras at least five that we can see on the outside so inside there must be so many more the walls that hide these cameras when recording at the time obviously something that the presidents of the tartars president has cost us a lot of doubts on and that comes just twenty four hours after elizabeth the authorities here released footage of the fifteen man hit squad that the saudis sense they also released the identities of these people it included a forensic experts on all topsy the head of the forensic unit of the saudi defense forces included several special forces officers as well as the former head of intelligence of the saudi embassy in the united kingdom this was coupled with other information leaks media including c.c.t.v. footage from over one hundred fifty traffic cameras that were monitored by the
4:54 pm
police showing different vehicles used by the saudi team that was here and now it's important to note that even though there were reports a few days back that's the saudis had approved for the turkish authorities to search the consulates. we've been told that actually the approval to search the consulates in the way in which its actual sorties would like has not been given and the turkish authorities would like to their own forensic experts to search this building as well as the house or the home of the consul general and several vehicles they have not been given the green lights by the saudi authorities to search these diplomatic buildings and properties and that's something that is frustrating the investigation right now and jamal you know what wallet turkish authorities be considering and want they can do and how much they can say now. but it appears that there still may be weighing got what's kind of response should
4:55 pm
be given aside from the fact that the final details are evidence is gathered in the investigation of yet to be officially released it would appear that the turks are trying to find some sort of international consensus with their allies like the united states but also other countries in europe and around the world in order for that when they do announce the findings and evidence to officially in some sort of press conference or official police statements that that will be accompanied by a decision by the political leadership here as to what's the retaliate soon will be so the country which essentially conducted espionage work lured a journalist inside this building gun ultimately assassinated and that political decision requires weighing up bilateral relations trade military and everything else and that's the unfortunate situation that it's not just about the life of one

u.s. is national security and its financial relationships with these two countries when it comes to weapons sales the secretary of state reportedly made the decision to issue the certification well according to a number of news reports that was a controversial decision both within the trumpet ministration as well as on capitol hill and so what these congressional leaders who are very active on foreign policy have done is asked for a reconsideration of the certification asking for you fuller explanation because they say that especially in light of the august airstrike in which forty young schoolchildren were killed just north of sanaa the capital of yemen they say that they don't believe that the saudi led coalition is doing enough to prevent civilian casualties in the yemeni civil war. let's move on to other news now on a magnitude six earthquake off the indonesian islands of java and ali has killed
