the saudi consulate in istanbul. this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khaled face on arriving in turkey on 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 actually 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
7:06 am
a surprise to some because it would have appeared that riyadh in ankara had reached some sort of program or 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 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 general's 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 a 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. tweeted that she had planned for a surprise dinner for him she was going to invite some of his closest friends 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 the drone of those who went to the consulates behind me never to be seen again. home on the as from the university of waterloo and canada she says takings economic crisis may limit its ability to investigate and reveal what happened at the saudi consulate there is no body and without body without some sort of physical evidence it becomes very difficult to lay blame and to really carry out a proper investigation add to that the geo political elements of this and indeed i think we're seeing a lot of posturing and a lot of difficulty and moving investigation forward unfortunately there may be
7:08 am
a lot of backroom negotiations going on to smooth things over and it may come at the compromise of finding out the truth turkey is in one of the worst economic situation since the early two thousand and one can't i think ignore the fact that the currency depreciation certainly the inflation situation and of norma's debt at the end of the day i should say turkey owes a great deal of money to a lot of private banks it will eventually need to restructure and saudi arabia is going to be an important source we know of course qatar already committed about twelve to fifteen billion dollars but that's you know peanuts in the sense of what turkey needs close to nearly one hundred billion so there's a lot of need for regional actors investment from the gulf including saudi arabia but i think this is going to be a part of the backroom negotiations perhaps in terms of the narrative we're going to see i think many of us will be watching very closely what this joint task force comes up with. american blaster freed by a turkish court has met president donald trump at the white house. released on

7:10 am
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 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 see you will be hoping for governess support

among evangelical christians in the moving the term elections mike hanna al-jazeera washington. bill schneider is a us political analyst and public policy professor at george mason university he 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 and twenty sixteen and who have 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 in the
