last seen entering the consulate ormoc to over the second to obtain documents allowing him to marry his turkish fiancee the u.s. president has sent to secretary of state might pompei out saudi arabia to speak to king sound man about the disappearance of the government insider turned critic fellow trump also says the saudi king told him he had no knowledge of what may have happened to the journalist in all ford j.p. morgan blackstone and blackrock are the latest companies to pull out of a major investment for nicknamed davos in the desert which the saudis are hosting next week well let's speak to jamal. side the consulate in istanbul as so jamal been three hours now since the investigators have gone into the consulate i mean i know it's early but i just have we heard anything or do we have any idea how long they'll be there. well we haven't heard anything official but then again nothing good news there since the disappearance of almost two years two weeks ago rather

there have been no official statements that have been coming out so very few and far between in terms of the turkish side and obviously also this saudi's side it does seem however that these investigators in there have been more vehicles that have been approaching over the past couple of hours that they will be in here for a while they haven't announced exactly when they will be cleaning go or rather when they will be leaving clearing the location it is important to know that this consulate isn't just one small building it is a seven story building inside a smaller compound there would probably be some sort of. external buildings that are also there maybe small smaller sheds and so forth but the entire compound is being searched now by these forensic experts that have been a part of this team that is headed by the deputy prosecutor general of istanbul as well as the deputy state prosecutor here in turkey this is part of barbara what's

meant to be a joint investigation that is involving also saudi investigators but the way in which they've been dispatched here doesn't show synchronization or that they are working in tandem actually you have the saudi team that arrived a couple of hours before that starts obviously the turks have been asking for several days now to enter they haven't been allowed to enter whereas the saudi authorities have been going in and out of the building behind me as and when they wish after the approval finally came in earlier on monday right off the literally minutes after that approval came in you suddenly had a cleaning team arrive at the consulates we picture that and video did it showed several cleaners come in with bottles of bleach and other cleaning equipment something which many people frowned upon because obviously you shouldn't be tampering with a crime scene albeit a crime scene that's has been tampered with throughout past the. thirteen days because as i mentioned you had saudi officials entering and exiting throughout

a few hours later like i say the saudi contingent of this joint task force arrived and then after that the turks came so there's a lot of skepticism skepticism being put on the circumstances where this investigation is taking place not necessarily on the ability of the turkish investigation team which includes forensic experts which include some of the top. people inside the police from the state prosecutor's office but the circumstances the timing of it that's what a lot of people are questioning the benefits of having this investigation in the consulate general in the consulate so long after it went missing particularly also bearing in mind that there has been a lot of question as to whether they will be allowed off to this to search the consulate general's home which is also key. sites that the police have said they want to do we still haven't had any information whether they will be able to search that as well as the vehicles that have been registered to the diplomatic mission

here to buy those shares with the latest there from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul john outthinking. meanwhile president trump has suggested that quote rogue killers may be responsible for the alleged murder of jamal khashoggi alan fischer reports now from washington. leaving for florida president trump reveals he's speaking to the saudi king in a twenty minute call he go to so you deny anything to do with the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. with the king of saudi arabia. the knowledge of what took place what we guide you as you said. this is. very firmly. thank you say. you would really get on a plane go to saudi arabia feast with such a denial the pres. and floated a theory of what may have happened at the saudi consulate a narrative pushed by some so the media sounded to me like maybe good road hillary

or no we're going to try getting to the bottom of the very it is not acceptable as of a number of politicians on both sides have criticized the president's position former democratic vice presidential candidate tim kaine tweeted president trump's response to jamal khashoggi his disappearance reveals a man more willing to trust authoritarian leaders than reliable intelligence when middle east analyst says the president is performing a difficult balancing act blaming it on another element such as some sort of quote unquote rogue element would enable the saudi leadership to avoid being held accountable if the public is going to buy this or not is another question when it comes to the future the seems to be more questions than answers the soldiers are still pressing ahead with a large investment conference in the kingdom later this month even though a growing number of high profile figures are boycotting the event after richard branson and the head of they were out last week now the head of j.p.

morgan chase bank top international finance figure jamie dimon and the chairman of the ford motor company bill ford say they won't be going u.s. secretary of state might prompt who is known as way to saudi arabia what he asks and what he's taught me will dictate what america does next alan fischer al-jazeera washington. well it's more about this without serious senior political analyst marwan bashar so i mean the i'll ask you also what you think is actually going to achieve in saudi let's start with this so-called davos and that there's a how damaging is it to mohamed bin salons of the saudis in general that the whole thing is looking like a bit of a disaster right. this is this is not just a normal conference this is the second in a series that's meant to cement the so-called vision two thousand and thirty whereby the future of the saudi economy dependent on diversification beyond oriel and having international investment international interest in the restructuring of

the saudi economy investing in the so with the economy for the next thirteen years so i think it's very very important now the fact that someone like jamie dimon the head of j.p. morgan chase refuses to go as of yesterday this is a main sign that the most important bank hence the bankers and so on so forth are not excited are shunning the conference now why would they do that i don't think it's about crime and criminals an extrajudicial killing all sorts of what these people did with some of the worst regimes in the world it's because of the media coverage these people have families they have colleagues they have sons and daughters that watch the news and they don't want their parents or brothers and sisters to be involved with a dictator that kills a journalist now why do i say that because we in the media we have to know what our role is see because this for the last two years has been unraveling like a mystery it's almost like life imitating fiction it's

a thriller with horror scenes and so on so forth except. it's final chapters are yet to be written we are living in the midst of this mystery but we in the media we are not just covering the mystery we are helping writing its last chapters its final chapters how by shedding light on it why forcing put issues to ask questions by making sure that businessmen know what they're doing and who they are doing it with by demanding the truth and by questioning power so all of that we in the media are influencing people in in the business community and put it issues for that matter i've certainly found it interesting how the u.s. domestic media has really followed a solution and not perhaps just the international channels like us that you would expect that would follow it more closely ok so might pompei i guess very much aware of the pressure that there is on him domestically as he heads to saudi arabia why do you think is there a mean what is he trying to achieve do you think. after the president trump's call

with a soda king i think it apparently left many questions unanswered amongst them if it's not king solomon and he did not give the order then who is responsible one too probably people are on president trump are not exactly clear if president solomon king solomon is still the effective leader of the country after he outsourced or his authority is to his conference since two thousand and fifteen when he became minister of defense later on when he became crown prince basically oil economy military intelligence and the religious establishments are all in the hands of this young inexperienced crown prince and taking charge of all of that here and that's why a lot of people suspect that he gave the order because he's in charge of intelligence for the disappearance of their mother has or so i think the american presence ask himself first if it is going to is king solomon my interlocutor in saudi arabia is

he effectively so the king of saudi arabia if not is it the crown prince is the conference responsible for this i think pum pum peo secular state is to go there to check the facts on the ground to make sure who is responsible and what comes next once it's proven that someone whether it's a rogue element as president from try to sell it or someone higher up in the hierarchy of the saudi government has made the order very briefly because we don't have a lot of time is it perhaps surprising that it's not jared kush that it's heading to saudi arabia seeing as his was the close relationship we've all been talking about for years look now even you know in places like the washington post in the new york times people are speaking about the complicity between jeb bush and crown prince mohammed bin so mun to be the source and the driver behind the blunders that you are and so jarrett is just as culpable as some of the solomon islands thank you

. so lots more to come in this half hour including this is the try to curb karma heads to provide our. presidents prime minister says a break sit deal is still achievable despite the latest talks or big breaking down and predictions of a race of superhumans and the colonization of aunt seven months after his death stephen hawking makes waves with the release of his final thoughts. leslie has not gone away having gone across portugal ne spain she sat where he sat last night have a sudden france pumping in yet more moisture into an already active zone of rain so sentiment is in three as a result well fatal flooding frankly this is just one view of the amount of water

welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera a turkish investigation team has finally entered the saudi consulate in istanbul or journalist went missing almost two weeks ago u.s. president going from says he's spoken to saudi king sound man who flatly denied knowing anything about what happened. and the u.s. secretary of state michael pale is on his way to saudi arabia to discuss the case with king solomon is also expected to visit. the largest armed group in syria's rebel held the provinces yet to withdraw its fighters from the region despite the monday deadline set by turkey and russia but high up to here al shaab or h.t.s. has signaled they will comply with the lib agreement which was signed last month it establishes a demilitarized their iraq province the zone was supposed to be cleared of heavy weapons by october tenth and rebel fighters by monday and a host of reports now from neighboring lebanon. a de villota rise zone is being

created around syria as it lives province a twenty kilometer deep strip of territory is now free of heavy weapons by october fifteenth it should have also been free of fighters considered terrorists by the international community the so-called radical groups didn't pull back but hours before the deadline. the largest military alliance that controls much of the buffer area and the rest of the province signaled that it will comply in its statement that leadership said it appreciated efforts by those inside and outside which is believed to be a reference to turkey to prevent an invasion and wide scale killing it also made reference to the foreign fighters saying we won't forget to the group maybe trying to keep unity and prevent betrayal among its ranks that is why an explicit acceptance of the deal would worsen divisions or rejection would risk a military confrontation with turkey which has said it is ready to use force

against those who do not comply. quietly met the deadline to withdraw heavy weapons from his own last week it's not the first time the group has shown pragmatism the buffer zone deal does not call for a surrender or reconciliation with the syrian government it created a new front line that protects regime strongholds and russian military assets but many syrians of the rebel controlled province remain skeptical. one million more we will not i don't know what are they moved the heavy weapons back sometime kilometers or so but i don't support this it just makes it easier for the regime and russia to advance into a loop you cannot trust the regime and russia. this is all a game the aim is to cause division among rebel ranks that will lead to infighting that way it becomes easier for the regime to take the area everyone is lying to us . the syrian government has repeatedly said it liberal eventually return to state

control but russia and turkey have so far been the decision makers the deals sponsors need each other in the post-war phase but i think it serves the interests of both parties so this is why i believe that this agreement will hold for the time being and the turks will be giving more time in order to try to deconstruct the whole complexity of this situation inside it live for the next few weeks and months a few days ago that it could accept a brief delay if it meant the spirit of the agreement was still apparelled the deadline was missed but syria's main power brokers seem committed to keeping the deal alive. beirut israeli forces of shot dead a palestinian man who they say tried to stab one of their soldiers it happened near the legal israeli settlement of aerial close of the palestinian city of south feet in the occupied west bank the israeli army says none of its soldiers sustained

much of these negotiations are necessarily technical but the reason this all matters is because it affects the future of our country it affects jobs and livelihoods in every community it is about what kind of country we are and our faith in our democracy of course it is frustrating that almost all of the remaining points of disagreement are focused on how we manage a scenario which both sides hope should never come to pass and which if it does will only be temporary we cannot let this disagreement derail the prospects of a good deal and leave us with a no deal outcome that no one wants on sunday talks with the e.u. had seemed close to agreement on the terms of britain's exit but largely over attempts to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland they collapsed mrs may's plan to keep the whole u.k. inside the e.u. customs union for the duration of talks on a future trade deal met opposition from probe ministers and factions in her own party who complain it would limit britain's ability to strike trade deals outside
