1:00 pm
the national polls had suggested for some time by and yet something the parliamentary election results of already change but the area tonight because it clearly shows that people want politics that encourages instead of spreading fear that solves current problems instead of constant produce and it shows clearly that you can win elections if you bet on the courage confidence and passion and don't suffer in a right wing way and yet one party that did precisely that was the alternative for germany in the twenty thirteen election they didn't exist this time around their stance on tough a migration and border controls won them more than ten percent of the vote so you don't even know this is how high this result is a message to merkel merkel must finally guard. we are the natural successes of the c.s. here we stand for our traditions our families and for our varia for bavaria is a blessed land dear friends. in the immediate aftermath of this election attention
1:01 pm

1:02 pm
hello has been a welcome spell of showers popping up all over the place in the western side of iran you can see them here on the satellite picture and rather more obvious cloud which is focusing on tajikistan lighting in particular was rain or snow the next couple days stretching down to the north of afghanistan so that's active weather and this cold air tucked in behind us the temperatures drop where is the showers down here in the same sort of temps regime we've had for a couple weeks so high thirty's they tend to be dying away on monday in particular on tuesday where as temperatures drop here and the snows in homes to now marty and tashkent really south of el monte now back to the levant still showers around at least of the higher ground of azerbaijan and iran maybe one or two in iraq so much is still high twenty's in beirut and it's quiet then further saya thirty fortune the hard times is slowly coming down this is a bit more obvious that still remains of bluebonnets made landfall in yemen so just
1:03 pm
a mass of potential heavy rain they'll be flash floods in the world it will be flash floods in the desert to be honest i'm not rain stretches right up in the mt quarter and hints that by thursday it could be a shower too from it in doha but the focus has got to be yemen and maybe seven sidey with persistent heavy rain. the weather sponsored by cats on race. i'm a historic day for the people every week news cycle brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these three voices journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative work join the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most see buys the rights to those stories but then he never publishes the stories they're listening post on al-jazeera.
1:04 pm
as reminder we want top stories this hour. president. spoken by phone to reaffirm their commitment to a joint investigation into the disappearance of. the saudi. arabian companies and. disappearance deepens the main stock market index and riyadh fell by as much as. sunday with billions of dollars are wiped off its market value . and. allies have suffered their worst result cade's in regional
1:05 pm
elections. the divisions within the government and. divisions in german politics of issues such as immigration. on bret's it says disagreement over the irish border remains a key obstacle to a deal despite intensified discussions with officials. from twenty seven european union member states was summoned to a meeting in brussels discussed the u.k.'s departure from the. reports about a deal between the e.u. and the united kingdom. as the latest from london. after a flurry of activity in brussels over the course of sunday hopes were breaks that deal remained some way off yet there had been some reports that the e.u.'s twenty seven ambassadors had been summoned to brussels primarily to take an early look at a done deal but it wasn't to be michelle bonney a the e.u.'s negotiator saying that more work needed to be done the british have been under
1:06 pm
a tremendous amount of pressure from the e.u. to hold more face to face talks and that probably explains why dominic robb britain's secretary rushed a short notice for an unsettled meeting with his european counterparts but more work more progress is yet to be achieved when it comes to finding a solution to the dispute over what's going to happen to the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland perhaps the thorniest issue it breaks it negotiations as they currently stand in the absence of any plan from the british government the e.u. are insisting on its back stop plan that would essentially leads to northern ireland a part of the u.k. remaining in the e.u. customs union that plans been rejected by the british government and its partners in government northern ireland's democratic unionist party over fears that it was centrally separate northern ireland for the rest of the u.k. and lead to a border down the middle of the irish sea so what's the alternative well in recent
1:07 pm
weeks there a plan of sorts has been taking shape the could potentially see the whole of the u.k. northern ireland and great britain remain part of an e.u. customs union breaks it for a short period of time possibly a number of years but how is to reason may go to sell that plan to hard line breaks a tears within a parliament and within her own party who wants a clean break from brussels any plan that to reason may agrees with brussels needs to be watertight she knows that there's talk of rebellion within her own ranks. reason they cry while only broken up anti-government demonstrations in the capsule managua them astray says a part of an alliance of opposition groups calling for president to take it to step down when you're a pal or reports of dozens of anti-government demonstrators were met with heavy force by police in managua after six months of unrest and more nicaraguan citizens
1:08 pm
are calling on the government of president then you know they got to end the violent repression of political opponents oh no i mean yes no no no we have being repressed they would let us march they have violating our constitutional right to protest. almost as soon as the demonstration began police vehicles full of riot officers confronted the crowd. some protesters clashed with officers and were beaten with clubs many of the demonstrators were women who were dragged away screaming on the streets of my now we're up the nicaraguan police had announced yesterday that any protest against the government today would be considered illegal and would not be allowed despite this we've seen several people come out in the streets and protest the government. that the police have started arresting them by one each one of these peaceful protesters as well as up as as attacking members of the present was recently by my producer and i were recently hit with a tear gas canister. as members of the press were forced to huddle
1:09 pm
together for safety as the arrests unfolded. the nicaraguan police have used physical violence against journalists during demonstrations yeah wyvis latest protest in managua was meant to represent the first demonstration by an organized political coalition of activists calling themselves the alliance for national unity . and i wonder i. really think that the whole thing is just terrible the prosecution against the people is too much it's too much there has to be an end to this all of us have had enough. a heavy militarized police presence across much of downtown managua prevented any more anti-government protesters from gathering on the streets of the city the police of criminalize dissent in the country meaning supporters of the government are the only nicaraguan citizens allowed to demonstrate on the streets and made up a lot of disease managua christine wade is
1:10 pm
a professor at washington college and co-author of the but nicaragua living in the shadow of the eagle she says police have become more empowered by the government's crackdown i think that what we've seen in the last couple of weeks really belie what we were hearing from ortega in late july who went on this international media tour saying that normalcy has returned he conquered the coup mongar and what we've seen over the past couple of weeks is the increasing criminalization of peaceful protest in. a couple of weeks ago the nicaraguan national police issued a statement saying that any and authorized protests are demonstrations were illegal the national police don't have the constitutional authority to issue a statement like this and yet this is the new reality in the novel i think that as long as the ortega ministration enjoys the support of the armed forces that he may be there to stay. oh francaise has confided saying to her door in our special at
1:11 pm
a ceremony in the vatican and advocate for peace trying all solve it all civil war marrow was shot dead while celebrating mass in one nine hundred eighty. s. . thousands gathered in st peter's square to see pope francis make seven saints among them pope paul the six who the saw one of the most turbulent periods of modern catholic church history in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's also canonized his archbishop osco romero killed by a right wing death squads while preaching in el salvador thirty eight years ago. that together with him and the other new saints today there was archbishop romero left the security of the world even his own safety in order to live his life according to the gospel close to the poor into his people with a hard road to jesus and his brothers and sisters a stone simply his canonization was from medical miracle curing cecilia flores of
1:12 pm
a life threatening illness but for her many other salvadorans he's much more. he's a person who fought for all salvador and continues fighting and continues to intercede for the country a brave man who defended life defended the family defended the most needy that's what he means to me. they revere him for speaking out the social justice and defending them against repression in the military led right wing governments in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's conservatives who ever saw him as a spokesman for the left wing he knew that that puts him in danger. i will not abandon my people but along with them i will run all the risks that my ministry demands. remain the divisive figure even after his murder it took the intervention of pope francis to ensure his sainthood to delight these supporters in el salvador but. to me it's a joy because every time i visit the crypt i feel he's still alive. because for me
1:13 pm
he didn't die and even then it's a big joy i have tears i'm not too old but i grew up following the steps of monsignor america it's a big joy also the door eventually emerge from civil war many are hoping their new saints will die them as they tackle the violence and injustice that continue to blight their country. how the sierra. tore a as a professor of social ethics a letter to next sunday's at the i left school of theology he says america's sainthood has been a long time coming as he has been extremely important basically he's one of those clergy who goes to a high level who really. was in solidarity with the most oppressed and the most abused in el salvador at that time which is a tremendous transformation because he apparently was a bookworm and very traditional but when he heard the story of the pork it
1:14 pm
radicalized him and he had a conversion to to really be dust spokesperson well first of all we need to remember that for the people he has always been a saint it is only the vatican now when it's catching up to the world to people so far as the people are concerned here where he was a saint but the reason why it has been delayed so long is because he had been characterized as a marxist as a communist as a leftist while in fact all he was was a person who was following the gospels and the teachings of jesus christ but whenever you go ahead and stand with your crass government and political powers dismissed you as a communist and therefore you become dangerous and the last two popes let us never forget were very conservatives so the fact of bringing him up for canonization had to be delayed. why shippers of the orthodox church and ukraine have held
1:15 pm

number it's confirmed this and all the information in my home address andre min show has no political affiliations he runs an i.t. business yet he's on the list wife's children's and people's on and danger if you heard him better however recently there were confrontations between far right marches and police yet the demonstrators took down the hungary and flag from a public building. and on the streets here there's dismay that a secret camera could record proceedings inside a foreign consulate or spanish foreign minister this is really this be a nice it's a way to blow the conflict here out of all proportion but. why is julian even triple citizenship allowed in europe when here it's a crime if we want to be part of europe we should live according to its values public claim can had talks with community leaders from several ethnic minorities

1:19 pm
france and germany and jointly calling for a credible investigation into kushal g.'s fate some reports from ankara saudi arabia is also trying to form an alliance by itself despite its diplomatic. initiatives with turkey we have seen oh i see countries showing solidarity with saudi arabia and saying that cell giri reza recent reforms actually which are mainly led by the crown prince mohammed bin selman were being targeted also we have heard mahmoud abbas from palestine and jordan and united arab emirates is saying that they are standing by saudi arabia. a large rebel group in syria's province says it will continue to fight after a deadline for rebels to withdraw from a buffer zone to her. did not say whether it agreed or rejected last ones deal between russia and turkey to set up a demilitarized area the buffer is centered around the northwestern region of ed

1:21 pm
after the lifting post. zero. and the. turkish official say it's one was to kill this. washington post column. that up to now show one of the lone saudi turks willing to criticize saudi peters' their criticism has apparently left. glowing richard gaisford in europe the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week disappearances can be deceiving the hashtag she case and the news coverage and geopolitics that lie beneath it looks like news and reads like news but isn't its
1:22 pm
native advertising it took a while but the me too movement has finally reached the media in india and iran's supreme leader has a theory on why it has stopped short of his country but he's happy to share online . we begin with the disappearance of jamal khashoggi a saudi arabian journalist in exile who walked into that saudi consulate in istanbul last week and never came out the case is the subject of intense international media speculation with turkish officials theorizing she was killed inside the consulate and the saudis insisting that he came and the left and it's produced a level of news coverage seldom afforded arab dissidents who just disappear that's because she was not just a dissident he was a former insider turned critic of crown prince muhammad bin salma and he had a platform at his disposal at the washington post his disappearance not only sends a chilling message to independent saudi voices everywhere it takes mohamed bin
1:23 pm
psalm on as well known intolerance. internal criticism and the house of saud utter ambivalence to the disapproval of outsiders to a new level and it provides yet more evidence of the folly of some in the western media commentary it would bought into the image of been solid man as the enlightened prince the reformer our starting point this week is a stamp. entering saudi arabia's cause it was a shot seen around the world jamal khashoggi is on last moments as a free man i mean he entered the istanbul consulate that day having reportedly been assured that he was not being targeted if it was a trap and then walked right into. damascus so he would have been a target for a myriad of reasons. not only was he a longtime insider with many contacts and also years of life in saudi arabia he was
1:24 pm
well acquainted with him one chal businessman and members of the government bureaucracy as well as the press and he was present in a lot of backroom conversations that i'm sure made a lot of people nervous he used to appear in b.b.c. . you know to be interviewed by you know u.s. newspapers but it's news newspapers he became like a star in terms of knowledge about saudi arabia and what what he made the last one lot of rule he used to be like even an advisor to prince turki al-faisal who was actually the head of saudi intelligence and he was in boston there to the united states jim much of he was like his consultant there's different dimensions to this but they all come together and the fact that the current so the government has clamped down really hard on any kind it's not just dissent it's any kind of
1:25 pm
independent opinion that is not complete. the echoing the government line they don't like it and they're trying to stop it. news of jamal khashoggi his disappearance was initially greeted with silence from the saudi arabian government and the media outlets that control the story was being driven from turkey but not at the political level the anonymous sources quoted in the turkish media the ones who reportedly described an assassination squad of fifteen saudis landing on two private jets that same day were from turkish police and intelligence by the two it had grown into a global story datelined istanbul but the turkish president was saying very little to talk which is usually not his stuff. we have to think of this as well within the context of the media profile of president are the gun who is known to speak his mind and to be very passionate when he chooses to to push
1:26 pm
a certain narrative and he certainly in his media interviews and interactions has been very guarded the earth around once we've been so room to walk back towards you himself from the brink when it comes to diplomatic relations with saudi arabia i don't know if he's trying to hedge himself from going toe to toe with and b.s. over this at least as of yet so it seems to me to be a little bit of a political a guard to allow this to sort of go through secondary channels through law enforcement but it's a full city it's a lot on that day three and the saudis issue their first statement saying that jamal khashoggi is disappearance was news to them that a full city had to. get to tokyo it wasn't until day five that the first real signs of a counter narrative emerged in the saudi media space the one that can own men. in
1:27 pm
them a vein that a member got out of. the state owned. out to be a news channel backed up by online forces offered no shortage of possible culprits none of whom happen to be south of the canal be a sort of. among the theories offered that could tar which owns al-jazeera and is the target of a saudi led blockade was behind the disappear. and that there's you know that the guitar is may have had coconspirators from the muslim brotherhood that turkey may have been full and remember here and that the him and. and that harsh oh she's turkish fiance wasn't above suspicion either. so she i think had a with. somebody the opposition figures or even cutty intellectuals and writers they said all and she actually was just an agent of the state intelligence delegates and she actually stated
1:28 pm
this chill to distort the image of saudi arabia it lacks you know responsibility and it's lacks logic there was a very popular hash tag. which is translated like the show and twitter users where basically defending the line and accusing accusing accusing turkey and the enemies of saudi arabia of fabricating the story and they're not particularly good at it they're a little bit i'm interested and they keep doing these things spending millions and millions of dollars on public relations and advertising and propaganda and fake internet stuff and they're not sophisticated in media they're not sophisticated in foreign policy they're not sophisticated and global action and when you put the three areas together their lack of sophistication is really quite embarrassing. and
1:29 pm
we're seeing it played out once more. saudi attempts to hijack the online narrative on this story have proven ineffective however past charm offensive aimed at the western mainstream media have not and one doesn't have to scroll back to far to see the evidence of crown prince mohammed bin salma known as m.b.'s effectively took power less than eighteen months ago his promises of reform his decision to finally allow saudi women to drive along with a carefully choreographed media tour in the us went down well working hard. news outlets that are usually skeptical of saudi propaganda including the b.b.c. the guardian the washington post and the new york times body in producing positive stories and editorials you can still find those articles online given what has
1:30 pm
happened since and the changes that haven't happened the editors who signed off on those pieces probably wish they could take them back you really have to believe that some of it was that well thomas friedman calling the embodiment of saudi arabia's arab spring deliberately ignoring the obvious violation of these principles in the arrests of journalists in the crackdown on women activists and other liberal they have been over thought and now they've seen some attempts by the like thomas friedman to back pedal and really being reluctant to even now take a strong stand against. it's clear that the western press went overboard and promoting him as a positive force for change in the region so the the lesson of this is don't fall for the propaganda campaigns when they're presented by arab governments or any government demand facts demand proof and judge people on their action. not just
1:31 pm
there are nice words and i think this is a lesson for journalists everywhere. the disappearance of jamal khashoggi will resonate with journalists and all kinds of other voices from activists to dissidents to would be revolutionaries and not just in the middle east. was not actually a threat to the government it was a voice of reason. and the government should have become. voices like he always spoke with respect to so deeds. so this. was authentic. in what to say about others that's about silencing voices and this is not confined to saudi arabia. authoritarian governments the world over and even democratic and countries as well
1:32 pm
make these choices. the silencing of choices the silencing of journalists seems to be a top priority for many governments around the world from the u.s. to russia to. what. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo phillips flow in bulgaria an investigative journalist has been found murdered what can you tell us about the case of victoria maddy nova richard she works for a small popular private ball gary and broadcast a t.v. n. her body was found last week in a park in the north eastern city of roos and reportedly showed evidence of rape it's still unclear if the murder was linked to mara novas journalistic work we do know she was presenting a current affairs shows. and in the first episode they had an interview with two bulgarian reporters about very investigations into alleged fraud involving even
1:33 pm
funds linked to businessmen and politicians and how have her call exact t.v. reacted to this news there's a lot of disbelief and confusion one of her colleagues has said that we're in shock in no way under any form never have we received any threats aimed at her or the television channel he added that he and others at the network now really fear for their safety in the past year two other reporters both known for their work on corruption have been killed in the maltese journalist daphne caron and glitzy who was killed by a car bomb exactly a year ago while slovak jenna's young cruciate and his fiance were both shot dead in their home back in february ok moving on it's been more than a year but the need to movement has finally reached india both the entertainment industry and the news industry what kind of allegations have been made against him this seems to have been sparked by women in the entertainment industry speaking out there was an actress. who filed a police complaint and a right to make him
1:34 pm
a kook whose story got loads of play on twitter and that really seems to open the floodgates numerous actors also journalists including some senior editors in the news industry have since described instances of sexual harassment and assault and i asked bangalore based on the sunday amanda why it's taken so long for the me to movement to really take root in india. i think the sense of shame is very very very large when you need women and i think it's taken a year because we're just trying to over the you know just trying to. screw up our guts our knowledge to doc about it five years ago if i had if i don't about my own cases it would have been. the thought wouldn't even cross my mind that you know will they believe me won't they believe me i just i do significant today will not be believed as it is with everyone else i suppose. that has sort of about to disappear but that is the hope that we will be believed we have seen it all around
1:35 pm
us women are being believed in feminists we believe you. that's made a difference due to here that i believe and what we've been hearing from some of the media organizations caught up in these allegations some media organizations say they've launched investigations the question is will they have an impact and it's also important to note that all of this has been happening primarily in the english language media space there are so many more outlets operating in hindi and regional languages but reporters that are yet to speak out ok thanks flow of all the industries disrupted up ended by the internet the news business is right up there on the list newsrooms have shrunk many papers have stopped printing since that ad space is no longer the value commodity it once was responding to the new reality many of the biggest names in news have started to sell a new kind of service based on their ability to connect with readers to tell stories and it's now available to corporate clients to burnish their image it's the
1:36 pm
kind of content that a reader might see on that site anyway even mistake for journalism which is why this expanding industry is known as native advertising in their own defense news executives are stressing the separation of church the editorial staff and state the business side however some big names in print have already blurred that valerie and news consumers are understandably confused about content that got its start in business meetings rather. an editorial listening post will yong now on native advertising and the new business behind the news business. in the internet age has not been kind to newspapers with the digital transition has come declining circulation drinking newsrooms and many papers stopping that presses permanently. fewer copies sold means and the times is are paying less to appear in print no prizes for guessing where they want to be seen stand. google and facebook
1:37 pm
now swallow up around eighty percent of all advertising money now in a very so that in a very short period of time money which predominantly went to news publishers want to publish in general magazines newspapers whatever now goes to the platforms against that background news publishes started looking for a new way of sucking advertising backing what they said to advertisers was why don't you let our design your ads for you so there's always been a relationship between industry companies p.r. firms ad agencies and reporters. so a lot of times reporters they kind of get their tips and leads from companies and p.r. firms calling them up saying hey company x. is launching this new product we think it's great and here's why maybe you should write about it however native advertising is very different because
1:38 pm
a reporter can hang up on a public relations call right and you can say you know i'm really not that interested but what happens when the native advertising agency exists one for both of you when both of you work at the same publication and it's happening all over the world in house creative teams consisting of journalists to malkuth to work together to produce so called tory bros and corporation back in two thousand and sixteen industry survey found that the publisher is a question. with said prince of the knights about his eyes and not to be very human about business last year that figure rose to fifty percent and leading the way some of the biggest names in journalism such as the new york times who used to grind studio producers what they call heard is. one of the early pieces we did that got quite a bit of a claim on the seven chapters. interactive data visualization for goldman sachs and that ran on our site for quite a while the user comes to the times to get
1:39 pm
a my. attention to really high quality storytelling on topics that matter and i think there's a benefit to a marketer for just being a part of that because system native made of an ad is an ad is an ad is the way i feel about it the new york times should not be in the business of managing people's opinion of goldman sachs there is no way that i can take as seriously the new york times reporting on goldman sachs knowing that they have just been on this content creation journey together native advertising is just an effort to confuse readers to think that there. getting something other than an ad. standard practice at the new york times and other outlets is to label branded content so readers know when it's been paid for by a client however london's large circulation free newspaper the evening standard
1:40 pm
shows us where the lines between a business and a tory can be blurred to the point of a ratio. back in may an exposé by open democracy revealed that the standard was offering not just branded content but money can't buy positive news and favorable comment pieces that would appear to readers as journalism when the story broke the standard quietly postponed the scheme but last year a likely six figure deal standard struck with syngenta the agri business joint glowing reports putting them at the heart of the future of food production no reference to the control the seas the dog the company and not to mention of sponsorship site the evening standard in london started. presenting to clients. suggesting that they would not only get advertorial produced for them by evening star but that this would lead them getting better news
1:41 pm
coverage now this lead to real concern among the things that it's done because what you're actually saying is we're going to hoodwink our audience so that our audience doesn't realize that you paid. and your name would just slip into the new category this really does the line between what is permissible. as advertising paid for content and what is not something that is never to be tampered with is the independence of our newsroom from a commercial interest in an advertiser had to create a group of people that were entirely said. from the newsroom operation of the new york times we would share the storytelling tools but we would never share the story tellers to say that there's always been a sturdy wall between the business side of an organization and the editorial newsroom that that hasn't historically always been true now when you have these
1:42 pm
people on the business side that are former journalists pitching to real journalists in the newsroom and they walk into the same building every day and they both share the mission of the paper right which these days is mostly to keep news alive and to make sure that your reporting and you can keep the lights on. in an era of anxiety about the future of news native advertising is providing comfort to journalists seem to be every bit as qualified as copywriters and creatives generating the kind of content that corporations love news outlets to share in the revenues that might otherwise have gone to ad agencies p.r. companies but while native advertising might keep journalism's heart pumping some say the risk is that journalism is selling its soul advertisers aren't stupid when they pay money for something they expect to get something in return with native advertising your ad seems to be
1:43 pm
a little bit more under the aegis of this respectable news organization if it didn't work like an ad they wouldn't pay for it like an ad and that's the important thing to remember whether it's called storytelling or content or code branding it still represents journalists making work using criteria that is something other than journalistic criteria i think the best way to maintain. healthy independent journalism is to maintain a healthy business model readers are seeing companies that are using the canvas of the times article page to tell a story in the appropriate way as i've described before creating feature length productions for marketers that stand at the quality level where they can rob a place like the new york times. for the growing number of news outlets embracing native advertising there may be no turning back and its impact on audiences is still unclear studies find that consumers often confuse native ads with editorial
1:44 pm

president warned of severe punishment. to be found to be behind the disappearance. calling for a credible investigation into these fights and for. companies to invest a conference in saudi. let's go live to charles strafford he's standing by for us in. charles saudis and the turks have now been in touch at the highest level what do we know about that phone call. but you say this conversation happened yesterday king solomon in contact with the d.c. to president or to juan here welcoming him for accepting what he described as the king's proposal to set up this joint investigative committee. on as well the president oversleep. stressing the importance of this joint investigation but
1:51 pm
let's not forget that we first started hearing lines that this committee was being set up full days ago and it has seemingly been very little movement as you say we understand that the head of saudi intelligence is key so it would suggest that these negotiations and sit in this committee continue. it's a cool and also to stress i think that turkey saudi relations have not been great for quite a long while now saudi had major problems with turkey supports of the muslim brotherhood in two thousand and thirteen in egypt they've also been major problems of course because of saudis. the saudi led blockade on concert to the support for casa. in that endeavor. and then of course if the major differences between he and saudi arabia in terms of the syria policy so certainly there are columnists here in

turkey in the local presence that is stressing that turkey has a lot to gain here it's very much in the driving seat as this crisis on the folds and evidence of that seized the fact that he seems to have been dripping the government seems to be dripping information to local media for a number of days now trying to galvanize as much international support as it can to push full full accountability and to get to the bottom of what's you know these very serious allegations about the murder of a journalist in the saudi consulate behind me. although there is this conversation that's happened between the saudi king and the president as i say four days now this committee seemingly has not been set up yet and certainly there's been nobody going inside the building to start that investigation so we understand they haven't seen anyone from that committee going inside the building want to we know about
1:53 pm
what is going on in signs that are in is it business as usual in saudi consonance certainly the cold sit here has been closed since the second the second of october when the show she disappeared but we are highly doubtful it's going to be open today of course it is a monday it is a working day. normally you would open at nine o'clock we have you know over recent days seen people coming in and out there are black mercedes vehicles or that side of the people get out and go inside the journalists of of called out wanting information from them but it's very unclear as to where these people are from whether in fact they are either or all saudis themselves. so it's highly doubtful that the consulate will be open today we do understand that the saudi embassy in is still functioning as usual i think all the emphasis today
1:54 pm
will be whether we see indeed any movement whatsoever in the sea so-called joint invest because if committee whether we'll see any of those members actually going inside the building to start their investigations now we'll be watching closely from the moment charles the time that from istanbul thanks very much a wash as in major companies in saudi arabia have plunged as the fallout have a caution g.'s disappearance deepens the main stock market index and we add fell by seven percent on sunday wiping billions of dollars off the market value and leading saudi companies mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the saudi stock market suffered its biggest fall in years following president trump's warning it recovered slightly during the day but it was the purse tangible sign of the impact of this crisis on the saudi economy. and impact too on the once cozy relationship between the trumpet ministration and saudi leaders

a statement released by the saudi news agency threatening global retaliation against any sanction came just hours after president come spoke of severe punishment that saudi arabia proved complicit in jamal khashoggi his disappearance . no dodge among members of congress that this should involve economic sanction despite president trump stated reluctance for such measures so i would just say this to you or for confidence if this is proven to be true there is going to be a response from congress it's going to be nearly unanimous it's going to be swift and it's going to go pretty far and that could include arms sales but it could include a bunch of other things as well european leaders to making clear they will not stand by they must have seen the huge international concern from the united states now from britain france and germany what they need to do is to cooperate fully with the investigation that the turks are asking us to do and to get about all this and if as they say this this terrible murder didn't happen then where is jamal
