largest clerical sex abuse investigation in latin american history. u.s. president donald trump has vowed to punish saudi arabia severely if the kingdom is found to be behind the disappearance of jamal khashoggi the writer was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul eleven days ago trump said he was pessimistic about fate but ruled out sanctions that would impact one hundred ten billion dollar u.s. saudi arms deal. i would like to do something where we could maybe. look at other things i will tow the senators because that's a tremendous order for our companies it's a tremendous order for really from an economic development standpoint you look at texas has a big chunk of it almost all of our states are involved in that order so i actually
1:02 am
think would be punishing ourselves if we did it there are other things we can do that are very very powerful very strong and we'll do that now as of this moment nobody knows what happened as of this moment you know we're looking into it very seriously turkey is looking into it. at a very high level at the highest level at this point it's looking like it's looking like. he perhaps would be or is it around and that's very sad i think we would have known by now that was our first hope our first hope was that he was not killed but maybe that's. not looking is not looking too good right from what we hear. let's get reaction now from washington john hendren joins us live tough talk from president trump at the u.s. is unlikely to take any measures that might jeopardize their relationship with saudi arabia. as true mary he's talking the talk of
1:03 am
a president who's ready to crack down on what has been a long term ally but will he walk the walk it's hard to say he's just ruled out the one perhaps strongest cudgel he has in dealing with saudi arabia and that's the what he is describing is a one hundred ten billion dollar arms deal the other thing he could do is he could pull his treasury secretary from an upcoming golf summit in riyadh that is an economic investment summit and the u.s. treasury secretary is going to be speaking there and he has said he is going to go ahead and speak there president trump has said he's going to go speak there but maybe he won't you can see the president also struggling he apparently has some intelligence he's is not really fully yet ready to divulge we know that u.s. officials have been briefed by turkish officials who say they have audio and video recordings of the murder of jamal khashoggi and the president there you could see him saying we don't think he's alive and then wait
1:04 am
a minute maybe he is so he's clearly struggling openly with what he can do but he's ruled out the arms deal the treasury secretary is still going to speak there at this upcoming investment summit they have invited the fiance of jamal khashoggi to the white house she will apparently be there and that obviously is going to highlight this issue in a way that is going to be problematic for saudi arabia which would really like this whole thing to go away so we'll have to wait and see if the president actually takes some concrete action based on the evidence that comes into the white house in terms of the reaction beyond the white house that we have seen a bipartisan group of senate is trying to fulfill the trumpet ministrations hand in investigating the disappearance of jamal khashoggi is that pressure likely to continue. that pressure seems to be behind why the president is speaking so aggressively now he's got senators from both parties who wrote a letter to the president invoking an act that requires the white house to start
1:05 am
a one hundred twenty day clock on investigating exactly what happened here whether there was a human rights abuse in the in the form of an extrajudicial killing now if the white house concludes if the u.s. intelligence agencies conclude that there was a human rights violation there then the white house is required to name names who was responsible and then consider levying sanctions and that is significant pressure you also have a letter after that from twenty two democrats expressing disappointment in the state department's response and disappointment in the white house for really relying on saudi arabia to participate in this investigation you've heard the president there saying he's going to ask king solomon exactly what happened there i'm not quite sure what he expects to get in response to that because the saudi government is outright deny that anything is happening that anything happened there they claim that chris showed you just walked out of that consulate and is now on the loose somewhere of course he hasn't been seen by his fiance or anyone else so
1:06 am
that pressure is increasing from human rights groups but more important from the for the president is from the republican party and they have midterm elections coming up in november and they're concerned about that mary thank you very much from washington john hendren. meanwhile tuckey still say they have proof the veteran saudi janis was murdered inside the compound they say that claim is based on a recording from the apple watch has shown she was wearing when he entered the consulate child strafford explains. pro-government turkish media say it has proof that jamal who showed she was murdered by a saudi hit squad that proof it says is a recording made using an apple watch which the journalist was wearing on the day he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey government sources told al-jazeera the watch was sinks to his phone which he left with his fiance who waited for him outside the watch can only record audioboo the recording so say
1:07 am
turkish government sources is clear enough to establish the her soldier was murdered inside the consulate but technology experts doubt that the watch could have recorded audiovisual in this case i wouldn't say unbelievable there's a few technical challenges a few potential issues with this narrative it's not immediately consistent with the story and what we know the details. but the technology is capable of creating a lot of territory and it's also designed to synchronize it's designed to try to find access point and connect so it's not out of the realm of possibility so there are still questions about exactly how the turkish authorities obtained the audioboo evidence saudi arabia has called the allegations a baseless lies on friday the kingdom to spanish king solomon's top advisor prince khalid al faisal who met the turkish president received over to want to try and
1:08 am
find a way out of this crisis turkey is pushing saudi arabia to allow a joint team access into the consulate to conduct an investigation of the suspected murder scene speculation will continue to grow as to what exactly happened in the building behind me until solid evidence is released that some sources in the turkish government and the turkish media say proves he was murdered the turkish government has yet to release a formal statement on a crisis that is fast becoming difference a major. the magic issue with huge ramifications for saudi arabia on the world stage stratford al-jazeera istanbul. and all the developments us past to add to bronson has met president trump at the white house following his release by turkish authorities brunson his freedom friday after being in detention since the failed coup attempt in two thousand and sixteen he was convicted of terrorism offenses charges he denies white can reports. andrew bronson arrives back in the united
