no limb pick a vent big an olympic sport means that you've arrived here in the limelight with all the television exposure and prestige that that brings with it but first of all you have to prove yourself amongst the established olympic sports and that's down here at the youth games. elliptic games are constantly evolving the organizers say to stay relevant while sports such as cricket croquet tug of war and underwater swimming have been discontinued new ones like this have replaced them as earlier. it's incredible i don't have the words it's just incredible we're the first and will go down in history. sebastiaan said he aims to win gold and returning to colombia as a limpet medalist would be a boost to both his own career and the sport of b.m.x. . meanwhile the organizers hope the inclusion of new sports will keep the olympics relevant as a major sporting event for the generations of athletes and spectators to come. down

10:50 pm
demand more information on his fate the parents government saying a transparent and thorough investigation is now required in the meantime business leaders are cutting their links with saudi arabia over the disappearance the c.e.o. of labor has pulled out of a major investment conference shergill to riyadh in coming weeks despite the saudi sovereign wealth fund being a major investor in the company shortly we'll cross live to our white house correspondent kimberly health kit but first let's get the latest on the investigation with steph decker who's in istanbul for us this hour steph it looks as if we are beginning to see the form of the investigative team because we've got the u.s. saying donald trump yesterday saying we've got people involved in this process we've got people flying into the country from saudi arabia and we've got this ongoing process of leaks from the turkish authorities as well. a really is gaining momentum most are particularly international stage we've just
10:51 pm
heard from the french president of my call where he said he's extremely concerned about the situation that he hadn't yet spoken to president aired on or to the crown prince mohammed bin south nor to king someone from saudi arabia by that he intended to do so in the coming days why because it is such a shocking story yes there is no evidence but what we are hearing from the turks paints horrific pictures are yes there is a delegation a saudi delegation that has arrived in ankara they are talking to turkey from what we understand now that they have offered to allow the church to go in together into the consulate and also to the house of the consul general to continue their investigation turkey hasn't responded to that yet of course it is ten days since you went into that consulate behind us and the turks are now saying that they know for certain that he was killed there and that is because they have would you go and video evidence of inside that consulate let's take a look at the specifics of that which happened overnight was published in the
10:52 pm
american paper the washington post. they are explosive allegations the washington post quotes turkish and u.s. officials confirming that turkey has or g.-o. and video recordings that prove he was killed inside the saudi consulate you can hear his voice and the voices of men speaking arabic an anonymous source tells the paper you can hear how he was interrogated tortured and then murdered another source says men could be heard beating. this is a crime and the reason is the crimes that it is during one of his appearances that going out and killing. so many of them and one of his appearance and if you if it's true that he was assassinated inside in the sea and they would also be responsible for extradition and. so the responsibility is clear for the kingdom of saudi arabia it is for them to review his fate his were awesome this time saudi
10:53 pm
arabia has remained silent since its initial statement left the consulate shortly after he arrived and that the accusations of murder are basis but revelations that turkey has and video evidence of what is alleged to have happened is ramping up pressure on the kingdom if true it would explain why turkey was so quick to conclude that he was killed inside that consulate but it also raises questions as to how turkey had access to what exactly went on inside the diplomatic mission congress been using turkish and foreign media to get its message out feeding through a steady stream of leaks of what appears to have been an unprecedented sequence of events of a well known and well connected saudi journalist who returned to the consulate to finalize paperwork in order to get married never to reemerge and i was horrified because he assured me. when we were in london that there was nothing to be
10:54 pm
concerned about. he said that on friday he had been to the consulate there to see them very well although they were initially surprised to see him. promised them if he came back again a few days later they would issue him with the papers he was after so he felt. it was ok but apparently they are prepared for him on thursday night turkeys presidential spokesman said they had agreed to set up a joint working group at the request of the saudis to investigate the disappearance of mr. saudi delegation has arrived in turkey on friday for that purpose turkey's been waiting to search the consulate and also the home of the saudi consul general they need the saudis permission to do so but it seems if the latest reports are true that the turks already know exactly what happened to. and as well as those audio and video recordings we're also hearing that the u.s.
10:55 pm
investigators might have access to a conversation on tape where the original plan allegedly reportedly was lure this man into the building and then indulge in some rendition gets him back to saudi arabia but the plan might have gone a rai in the worst possible way. well yes this was also through the washington post that is of course the paper that jamal khashoggi was a contributor to that the american intelligence had intercepted conversations between saudi officials where they said that this was on the orders of the highest level of the saudi royal court under the orders of the crown prince mohammed bin said a man to you or to bring bring or forcibly take him back to saudi arabia so this is speculation in the sense of what happened in that building you look at that building you know the blinds remain closed at night the lights are on people
10:56 pm
moving in and out and you look at that building and you wonder what exactly happened inside you know according to the tapes according to the audiotape that the turks are saying that they have the specifics of that saying that he was interrogated he was tortured he was beaten and then he was killed so to speculate was the intention to torture him and question him and then bowled bundle him onto a plane and take him back to saudi arabia or was it that they wanted to execute it as it happened supposedly according to the reports it's very difficult to tell i think what is clear is that ten days later he hasn't come out people now starting to believe that something very serious very sinister happened there unprecedented really if you're talking about a man into a consulate a foreign consulate it should be a safe place he went there to get part papers as we mentioned our package because he wanted to get married and then you know taking issue with him and according to the turks murdering him it is it is unprecedented i think this is also why
10:57 pm
receiving such media reports why are we seeing such international interest and also of course this has jew political implications it is hugely sensitive which is why we haven't still ten days on regardless of all these leaks and they are sanctioned by ankara i haven't seen any official go on camera as of yet i think interesting the next couple of days the turks will be talking to the saudis now and i think we're going to have to wait and see how these things develop both on the ground in the investigation and also when it comes to any political moves. stephanie thanks very much well let's stay with that idea of the turks talking to the saudis specifically in the form the backlash against saudi arabia over those allegations of murder inside that consulate building in istanbul a number of companies are stopping their plans that were in place with the saudi government to appear at a state sponsored conference called the future investment in issues of here's just a quick list of some of them new york times journalists on twitter saying they're canceling their involvement moderating the discussions at the conference founder of virgin richard branson saying if proved true it would be difficult for the west to do business with the saudi government he suspending two tourism projects with the
10:58 pm
kingdom and discussions about investment in his space programs co-founder of a.o.l. and chairman of the case foundation that steve case on twitter saying he's putting plans on hold to speak at the conference one person who is going to the conference is the u.s. treasury secretary steve president on will trump has appeared reluctant to take punitive measures against saudi arabia despite pressure from both parties that he's opposing halting a multi-billion dollar arms deal with riyadh we are concerned about what is the status of his trip to show and although i haven't had direct conversations with the saudis i know other people within the executive branch have in those discussions are underway i am planning on going at this point if more information comes out in changes which we could look at that but i am planning on going ok let's talk now to my colleague who is our white house correspondent so whether it's mr go in
10:59 pm
kimberley or richard branson or emanuel macro or m.s.n. b c there seems to be coming together a jigsaw of big properly big heavy hitters financially successful international broadcasters people like richard branson as well international icon of global business saying no actually the arabia you have to say something about this you have to do something. the groundswell just continues not just here in the united states but as you point out around the world international business tycoons the latest on the list i've seen the world bank president jim kim young who in for you jim young kim rather who is also pulling out of the attending the october twenty third saudi investment conference it appears that this is something that has been percolating for some time that has been a concern at least at the congressional level the sort of uncomfortable
11:00 pm
relationship that so many have had for quite a long time turning a blind eye sort of favoring the business and economic aspects of the relationship and perhaps ignoring some of the things about the saudi arabian government that are concerning with regard to human rights and human freedoms but this seems to be now an international movement that can be ignored no longer in light of the missing journalist story but this is something that we have seen here in washington at least to a lesser extent on capitol hill for example we've been talking about those arms sales how the treasury secretary is saying not only is he still going to go to riyadh but the administration itself is still defending the arms sales and the military support that the united states has offered particularly for the saudi led coalition in yemen something that the united nations has said with regard to the civilian casualties as a humanitarian disaster but we have been seeing push back looked back as recently as as june there was an effort to limit.
