3:02 am
says it's now looking likely that the journalist was killed. 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 won't be or isn't around and that's very sad i think we would have known by now that was our first hope our first crop was that he was not killed but maybe that's. not looking and is not looking too good right from what we hear well john hendren is our correspondent following events for us from washington d.c. and certainly the message seems to be getting stronger from the u.s. but there's still a cautionary tone really in the potential for action from the president. that's right so hell the president has been more aggressive in his speech on this
3:03 am
he is right now addressing a rally in kentucky and he hasn't brought this up but on his way there he did talk to reporters and told him a couple of things he said within the next twenty four hours he will call king solomon in saudi arabia and demand answers as to what exactly happened here and secondly he also has said the united states is very involved in the investigation now u.s. officials have not said whether that includes u.s. people on the ground actually conducting that investigation but it does mean that the united states government is interested so he's been talking the talk aggressively against saudi arabia but what's not clear is exactly what steps he's going to take he's already ruled out the one that is perhaps his greatest cudgel in dealing with saudi arabia and that is an arms deal that he negotiated on his first visit outside of the u.s. to saudi arabia where he met with king solomon he could also withdraw his treasury secretary steve newton from an upcoming investment conference in riyadh the one
3:04 am
known as. forgive me i've forgotten the name for it for just a moment here but it was it's an upcoming conference that saudi arabia and the crown prince have made a big deal about and they have used it as a showcase for the modernization of saudi arabia and get steve in the treasury secretary will attend that and will speak as of the last we heard from him just a day or two ago so the president could also withdraw the diplomats from saudi arabia he could expel diplomats from the united states and so far we haven't heard any talk about that but when he talks about severe consequences those are the kind of things one thinks of so oh indeed of course it would pop specific direction from the president there is very specific direction and mounting pressure from politicians nearer to well his home because they want to see the president do bowl . that's right twenty three members of the senate including members of his own
3:05 am
republican party have written a letter demanding an investigation into this and they set off a one hundred twenty day clock in which time the administration would have to name who was responsible live anyone for a human rights violation in the form of an extrajudicial killing of mr to show and then they would have to institute sanctions if the administration determines that that is appropriate members of congress many of them running for reelection in november so there's a bit of pressure on them this after all was a man who was a resident of the united states of america he was a columnist in the washington post for the u.s. is very much involved here and congress is exerting pressure over the but we'll leave it there john and keep following events with you closely from the u.s. thank you investigations continue in istanbul to determine what happened. but turkey's foreign minister says there's not yet been any cooperation from saudi arabia is a link there. other than saudi arabia must cooperate and allow access for our chief
3:06 am
prosecutor is a face and expects to enter to saudi cancelbot where did it is appear there in the consulate therefore that a sake of disinvest occasion in order to bring everything out in the open they must allow access to to come so that we haven't seen any collaboration that we want to see that. be allowed to enter the consulates saudi arabia needs to cooperate with us on this matter. pro-government media in turkey officials have an oldie a recording of what happened to jamal khashoggi as he walked into the saudi consulate over a week ago but has more from istanbul. pro-government turkish media say it has proof that jamal khashoggi 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
3:07 am
waited for him outside the watch can only record audioboo the recording so say 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 audioboo evidence 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 time a tree 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 audio evidence saudi arabia has called the allegations of baseless lies on friday the kingdom to spanish king solomon's top advisor prince khalid al faisal who met the turkish
3:08 am
president received tight order want to try and 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 a major diplomatic issue with huge ramifications for saudi arabia on the world stage. a stumble. jumana shell has more than one side of the saudi consulate in istanbul. this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khalid and face on arriving in turkey on
3:09 am
friday there's still be no statements about what exactly is the objective of this delegation and what they will try and achieve because there have been questions raised as to whether this is a political delegation trying to find a solution to this crisis with turkey or is it one as has been told to the media that is going to be part of the investigation and if so turkey already has said that it knows the results of this investigation it claims that it has the evidence and has shared the evidence with the united states that actual she was assassinated in the consulate now on saturday turkey's foreign minister for another time expressed his government's frustration at the lack of cooperation from the saudis which is a surprise to some because it would have appeared that riyadh in ankara had reached some sort of program a workflow or an at least a basic agreement hence the arrival of this delegation however according to the foreign minister as well as other officials one of the main points of contention
3:10 am
from the target is that they have still not been given access by the saudis to search and to inspect the. consulates behind me on top of that they would also like access to the consul generals home as well as several vehicles that are registered to the diplomatic mission here internationally speaking there's been word from donald trump he says that there will be a huge price to pay if indeed it is established that the saudis ordered the assassination of federal see that is going to embolden turkey's position that has been the turks have been looking for some sort of international consensus in order to establish what they will do as a result of what they say is the killing of. eleven days have gone by since he entered the building not to come out ironically or interesting really enough such a day was to be the sixtieth birthday his. fiance tweeted that she had planned for a surprise dinner for him she was going to invite some of his closest friends
3:11 am
that's obviously hasn't happened and it's a stark reminder that away from the politics away from the diplomacy this is very much a human story about a journalist who went to the consulates behind me never to be seen again. the american past of freed by the turkey has meant president donald trump the white house under brunson was freed on friday after being in detention since the failed coup of twenty sixteen now he's accused of terrorism offenses charges that he denies my kind of. andrew bronson arrives back in the united states just a day after he was sentenced to three years imprisonment by a turkish court but then released in recognition of time already served. he and his family were greeted by president trump at the white house the president saying he hopes the release signals the beginning of a better relationship with turkey we feel much different about turkey today than we did yesterday. and i think we have a chance of really becoming much closer to take it maybe break even having
3:12 am
a very very good relationship we know the people and as the pastor said these are incredible people the people of turkey are incredible people and i think we have a chance now to really have a great relationship with turkey i hope that it happens ok earlier president trump tweeted that there'd be no form of concession by the united states there was no deal made with turkey for the release and return of pastor andrew branson i don't make deals for hostages he said there was however great appreciation on behalf of the united states which will lead to good perhaps great relations between the united states and turkey. and in a burst of twitter diplomacy the turkish president made clear the release was not a response to u.s. pressure. the turkish judiciary reached its decision independently says president at a one i hope that the united states and turkey will continue their cooperation as the allies that they are and fight against terrorist groups. no indication yet as to
3:13 am
when or whether the sanctions imposed by the u.s. in retaliation for the pastor's detention will be lifted but the meeting ended in a prayer for president trying to go as you will be hoping for governess support among evangelical christians in the moving the term elections mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well still ahead here on al-jazeera attempts to revive talks with the afghan taliban as yet another campaign rally is targeted. at a university degree is almost always an asset when looking for a job we'll tell you why palestine is an exception. by the sky nine information harbor or off the coast of the italian riviera.

3:17 am
terrorism offenses charges that he denied. is a us political analyst and public policy professor at george mason university says bronson's release will galvanize conservative christians to vote republican in the midterm elections. this was a play to sew up and inspire the votes of christian evangelicals of conservative christians who did vote for trump in very high numbers in twenty sixteen and who've stuck with him because what this demonstrates to them and present from claim this all day today is that he delivers they voted for him he may not be their idea of a perfect christian and they said one of them said just today i wouldn't want him to be a sunday school teacher but he does the liver and he said i can't tell you how much i love this man that's why a lot of conservative christians feel he has delivered on judicial appointments which is their number one priority he's delivered with the opening of israel and the moving of the american embassy to jerusalem he's delivered on
3:18 am
a lot of religious liberty initiatives that have been taken he has supported school choice in private schools all of those things are very high on the agenda of conservative christians so he expects them to show up and they probably will show up in very large numbers in the midterm election you know play well with that constituency that's a significant constituency perhaps a quarter of the american electorate calls themselves conservative christians and they voted for they vote republican regularly and the big surprise was how loyal they have been to donald trump and the explanation was very clear in what happened today he delivers he does what they want him to do on a number of issues and this just being the latest one at least seventeen people including several women have been killed in an asteroid by the sun to that coalition in yemen that spawned an area south of the rebel held pulled city of data according to who the rebels a bus carrying people displaced by fighting was hit in the strike the saudi
