republic of congo where at least two million children face death from malnutrition . a source only tom cush attorney general's office has told al jazeera that they found evidence that missing saudi journalist. was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul where turkish investigators finally got to spend hours in the building thirteen days. disappearance. to the compound what's being billed as a joint investigation. the investigation results will be announced around two to three days' time meanwhile u.s. media reports say that saudi arabia is weighing up whether to release a statement that was killed as a result of an interrogation that went wrong the saudis reportedly planned to say the operation was carried out without official clearance saudi media. say the

kingdom will interview those who are mentioned in turkish media as suspects in the case but all this comes as u.s. secretary of state mike on payout is on his way to riyadh to discuss kushal g.'s disappearance with the saudi king more now from al jazeera was jamal. it took turkish investigators thirteen days to finally be given permission by saudi authorities to enter their consulate in istanbul but just a few hours for them to uncover more evidence they say proves that journalist jamal khashoggi was killed after entering get. the turkish attorney general's office exclusively telling al-jazeera that its team of investigators were able to not only recover evidence from the crime scene but also that there had been a clear attempt to tamper with it. earlier on monday a team of cleaners arrived at the diplomatic mission a bizarre occurrence considering the circumstances they were then followed by saudi investigators who are part of what's been billed as a joint task force with questions being raised as to how the main suspects in

a crime can have a lead role in the investigation itself. there are still so many questions that need on cers why did saudi arabia essendon autopsy experts if as some of its media outlets have been claiming the plan was only to question. how did the saudi government's nuts know of the operation when it's apparently involved two of crown prince mohammed bin son man's personal bodyguards and where is jamal body a full investigation would look at all of the cars that left the consulate from the time that shogi entered up until even now and presumably it's the personnel on the consulate and you'd want to look at their homes and their cars often one can find d.n.a. evidence of incredibly minute amounts but telling in vehicles well after intervent occurred so i would look at that i would look actually at presumably the

saudis have cleaned everything weirds. chlorine or who knows what but i would i would look at the the drainpipes and i look at all of the belongings of the members of the staff who come in and come out the case has forced multinational corporations like ford virgin and j.p. morgan to withdraw from an upcoming investment conference in saudi arabia the kingdom stock exchange suffered big losses on sunday troops all of this coupled with the fact that the interests of regional and super powers are stake could mean that we may never know the answers. it's why people will be monitoring closely to see what's evidence turkish authorities will reveal to the public once they complete their investigations tuesday marks two weeks since he is believed to have been murdered those who killed him appear to have wanted to silence him instead however their crime has triggered criticism and outrage from around the world much

of it's directed towards the saudi government's. istanbul. what's going on to istanbul which is outside the saudi consulate so charlie attacks investigators finally being allowed inside the consulate behind it what more can you tell us. we understand are in that suddenly the investigation inside the combs lasted a round of nine allis witnesses saying that the last of the piece of fish was left in around an hour and a half ago. service officials leaving independently from the saudis as was the case when the team arrived we understand according to witnesses that there was a least four trucks here overnight two of which left in the early has of them already carrying what seemed to be being the pool today is rubble even soil being

reported as being carried in those trucks covered by blue tarp colin this is also saying that what seems to be some sort of blue ultraviolet lights seen in the building in the front of the building on the on the first floor of the building overnight a lot of banging. sounds coming from the consulate as this investigation went ahead we also understand that dogs were used certainly we understand to inspect the garden the area outside the consulate also reports that one of the garden door was was removed and taken away so it certainly seems on the surface at least that this investigation overnight has been quite thorough but let's not forget that it's taken two weeks or almost two weeks it took to get a team inside these suspects it seems until early so when attackers officials like you then to release the findings of this investigation in the house that a lot of hits a play out there in turkey. no indication

is good as to when the results of this investigation will be released but one can imagine the because of the credible political sensitivity in the type of diplomatic pressure internationally that the saudis are facing and indeed pushed to be that as well it would be relatively safe to say one could expect tension quite a quick result to be announced and certainly turkey if indeed the results of this investigation a consistent with some of the information that was leaked by officials to the media in recent days if that evidence is consistent with these findings then i think it's fair to say that he will benefit hugely from this on the international stage it will make them look very strong and we understand also that six serious state a six year state michael bay's jew in riyadh today he's coming in for meetings with

the ship we understand tomorrow he'll be having meetings in whether indeed we see any results announced before then we'll just have to wait and see all right touch on stuff but there live from istanbul thank you. well jamal khashoggi family has issued this statement as we await definitive answers and funds from multiple ongoing investigations we believe it's imperative to launch an independent impartial and internationally recognized investigation in order to provide us and the many who loved him with much needed clarity and resolution let us president donald trump suggested that she was murdered by road killers following a phone conversation with king solomon but many politicians and former u.s. officials are rejecting that explanation mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . president trump arrived in florida the you can damage and at the same time reports began to pull to route to power to solve the admission but the

journalist was killed by mistake in an unsanctioned abduction attempt. the president tech knowledge hearing about the reports we were getting married with a radio with your key and they want you. to figure out what happened and they want to know what happened also so a lot of people are working on it with a lot of people and will be behind very much but it will say i read everything but nobody knows it's an official report so far just the rules of the reporting from you know early in the day president trump floated the theory of what may have happened at the saudi consulate it sounded to me like maybe a good road kill or no we're going to try getting to the bottom of a very this narrative also pushed by some saudi media was greeted with anger by members of congress the democratic senator from maryland sent out this tweet president trump suggestion that elaborately planned to murder in the saudi's own

consulate was orchestrated by road kill is defies reality says chris van hollen orders must have come from the top the u.s. must not be complicit in an effort to cover up this heinous crime. skepticism also expressed by a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power she says the notion that mohammed bin sahlman one of the most controlling leaders in the middle east didn't know his government was sending fifteen goons to turkey to abduct a saudi critic is absurd and there's increasing criticism of the saudi crown prince by senior members of congress democrat senator chris murphy who serves on the foreign relations committee had this to say in a washington post opinion piece as the new crown prince in gauges in increasingly reckless behavior more and more of us are wondering whether our allies actions are in our own best interests the lists are for erratic actions from mohamad been

solomon is long the jailing of royal family members the detention of the lebanese prime minister a nonsensical feud with cutter the growing internal repression of political speech and the disastrous war in yemen and a tangible response to the growing climate of criticism the elaborate national day celebrations at the saudi embassy this week have been canceled mike hanna al-jazeera washington al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara says saudi officials must take responsibility and can't plead ignorance on the matter. and let's order mind ourselves that the modern solomon is also in charge of the saudi intelligence so here you have the person who's in charge of oil economy intelligence religious establishment as well as the military. not knowing what happens in his own consulate after sending two teams there and the next day denying

all of knowing what happened to your mouth or that he he says he did not leave the consulate of course none of that is believable but what's what's the worst part about it is that as it under raffles this is like life imitating fiction except it's a bad fiction this is a bad novel a bad thriller a bad mystery because the actor does not culpable does not lie well does not hide his crime well all the lies are transparent and the stories keep changing and things from a bully to a victim back to a bully again so really it's a quite a messy story that continues to unravel and indeed fascinate the world we just moved today in particular from a tragedy to a tragic comedy no one believes anything that's coming out of riyadh time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back want to run from the killing of malta journalist death and going to see a family wants men quietly to find out that the state had a new role and predictions of

a race of superhumans seven months after his death stephen hawking makes waves with the release this final thoughts more of that stay with us. all of the seasons changing show has been generated through the iranian mountains and they're pretty obvious they want to plant their hosts a cluster of thunderstorms giving a reported sixty ultimately this is a rain in twenty four hours that probably came out in three or four hours it would have cause some flooding on the chance i will see some more showers again the heat is there on the iraqi plane the uplift is there in iran and there's been an injection of moisture from the north from the caspian sea and probably from further west as well so more showers seem likely and they could be vicious and they could also be around the southern caspian sea coast you just missed it with our multis

down to two degrees now and has been stirring for a couple of days and will be for a couple more let's just sas into raby in peninsula where the weather is generally quiet at this time of the year and it is except for the remains a cycling loop done is already cold wet and windy weather in short which means all have been so flash floods in eastern yemen certainly iran our man and you'll see the forecasts present rep of the empty quarter isn't going to bother many people but because we've got the moisture injected i think you could see some significant thunderstorms maybe in the mountains around oman possibly further north through u.a.e. or even qatar in the next two or three days. and i had three jobs and now i only have one but i'm still providing for my family. and the first time hours admitted to hospital that i didn't show any signs of m.s. . well all that but at about my opinion i might have become very positive

and start thinking about the negative sides of this and get on al-jazeera while he is from living with m. and s. in egypt. welcome back a quick reminder of the top stories here this hour a source for me turkish attorney general's office has told al jazeera they have found evidence missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul on monday turkish investigators were finally allowed into the building thirteen days after the journalists disappearance and u.s.

media reporting saudi arabia is weighing up whether to release a statement she was killed as a result of an interrogation that went wrong the saudis reports good plan to say this was done without official clearance. and u.s. president donald trump says rogue elements from inside saudi arabia could have been responsible for khashoggi disappearance he sent secretary of state might pompei o two saudi arabia to discuss the issue with king sound money on players also expected to visit to. what david hearst as editor of the middle east i he says the narrative put out by saudi arabia is now proving false. i think it's confirming what we originally wrote that jim our ensign it was ushered into the consul general office with the consul general that two men entered the room he was dragged out they used foul language there was screaming heard afterwards and then a silence we think is generated by a lethal substance what's happening is that the saudi story is crumbling. and is

crumbling very very quickly. and now there's an intensity of the fire wall around mohammed bin solomon and the king and say that this was a rogue operational this was an interrogation gone wrong the idea that an interrogation gone wrong really doesn't hold water why is this so-called interrogation happening stream quickly according to the audiotape. and in fact the whole operation i was over within two hours of jamal stepping in and out his status to our gas between him stepping into the consul and the first convoy of cars leaving and the second point is go back to who these fifteen people were none of them were professional interrogators they were special forces they were special guards and there was

a man as we all know was an expert in counting up bodies and this is not the team that you send to interrogate or even kidnap someone. yemen's president hardy has sacked his prime minister ahmed been done to will face investigation over the country's economic crisis the yemeni currency has plummeted in recent months sending thousands of people out protesting on the streets for wouldn't fuel prices have skyrocketed due to the ongoing conflict. a border crossing between syria and jordan has opened for the first time in three years territory near the naseem crossing was recaptured from rebels by syrian government forces in july last it used to be a busy route for goods and people before it was closed during a major battle of the civil war on the foreign ministers of syria and iraq that held a joint news conference in damascus declaring that the become all crossing the two in their countries will open soon iraq recently redeployed its forces on the border with syria to try to stem the flow of weapons and i still fighters joshua landis is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he

says countries across the region are increasingly open to restoring ties with damascus. and the sea processing has been opened between jordan and damascus this is a very important. two billion dollars worth of trade before the civil war plied along that road hundreds of trucks it kept many people employed lots of stores particularly down at the crossing supermarkets cafes so forth all of them devastated during the war and a free trade zone of course closed down all the shops and factories closed down so people are dying to get back to business this is a big day for syria in libya's course way in the north tucked up underneath turkey if there is fighting in it lead it's unlikely that the jordanians or the israelis who also opened a crossing on the golan heights. will close their will close their borders the jordanians are very eager to have this trade going to jordan economy as we know is

been has been sagging under the weight of all these wars and there been big demonstrations so the jordanian government is very eager to get jobs back to ordinary jordanians there is going to a little cascade many cascade of countries embracing syria and that embrace was shown only a week ago with the foreign minister of the team a small country but an important one and they met with lots of cameras rolling this was a staged event in which will lead what i love the foreign minister of syria gave a big bear hug to the foreign minister about rain us and gave a very warm interview with a kuwaiti newspaper in which he thanked the quaid he's very generously for standing by syria throughout the war so increasingly. the gulf countries have been embracing syria in a dramatic announcement australia's prime minister has said he's open to relocating the australian embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem scott morrison says his

country is still committed to finding a two state solution to the israel palestine conflict the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv in may and malta the family of a journalist killed in a car bombing a year ago once know the government had any role in her death they have demanded an official inquiry. was exposing corruption in business government and the police reports in the capital letter. duffy khurana go the see is death shocked a nation to many she was a fearless anti corruption crusader but she was also accused of scathing even defamatory journalism and of being politically partisan although i wanted to read blog a year after she was killed in a car bombing the reasons for her death are still unclear. and her family wants a public inquiry free from all political interference the focus of that inquiry on like the current processes is to look into whether death needs nice could have been

european union. she also linked to maltese politicians including the prime minister joseph muscat with offshore tax havens he denies the allegations. but as family believe there's been a deliberate attempt to control the narrative surrounding her death to make it look like she was investigating criminal gangs alone and not the government the prime minister declined our request for an interview. since carolina police she is dead colleagues say bolters b.d.'s office which is over directly by political parties has lacked an important voice it was nothing like her before and there's been nothing since her bravery i imagine would inspire others in the years to come locally she opened many people's eyes to what. journalism could be this is what's left of a once large makeshift memorial to the journalist opposite multis law courts it's
