11:02 am
first of all charles bring us up to speed now with the investigation what direction is that heading in. well we understand that a lot of evidence was taken away last night by the investigation seems full analysis there were pictures dropped by the voices news agency of two trucks covered in blue tarp pulled ins that we understand were carrying soil simply rubble indicating some sort tensional excavation we also understand that one of the garden door was from we believe from the rear of the building was also taken away for analysis the saudi team because he's doing all the least nine members a similar amount is it to teach that to his counterparts we know that dogs were used in the investigation to witnesses saying that they saw what we think blew ultraviolet lights being used in some of the rooms at the front of the building jewing the investigation of course it took almost two weeks since mr shows use
11:03 am
disappearance for that joint team to go in are questions being asked as to whether that actually ration that period of time could well have compromised any. authority as of this investigation but as you say to keep she government sources saying to us that all indications are is that that they have proof that mr shows she was indeed killed in that building now a colleague of jamal the shah was here on the scene when those investigation teams arrived and this is his report. 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 john and his jamal khashoggi was killed off their entering get. the turkish attorney general's office exclusively telling al-jazeera that its team of investigators were able to
11:04 am
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 acquiring can have a need 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 snots know of the operation when it's apparently involved two of crown prince mohammed bin son man's personal bodyguards and where is jamal khashoggi is 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
11:05 am
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 an event occurred so i would look at that i would look actually at presumably the saudis have cleaned everything weird. 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 have 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 truth all of this coupled with the fact that the interests of regional and super powers are stake could mean that we may never know all the answers. it's why people will be monitoring closely to
11:06 am
see what's evidence turkish authorities will reveal to the public once they complete their investigations tuesday marks through weeks. 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. charles we understand the saudi authorities are thinking about releasing a statement on this one of they expected to say. well certainly there are reports in the u.s. media that indeed saudi authorities are considering whether to release a statement saying that indeed mr shows he was killed but this was part of an interrogation that went role we also understand that that statement might actually
11:07 am
say that this operation was not given official sanction by the saudi crown prince muhammad build salmoni now speaking to at least speaking to people who have an in depth on the standing close schools is of saudi politics how the saudi government operates many of them is saying that it is inconceivable to think that for example the fifteen men the. turkish government sources released pictures of to pro-government media gates saying that these men flew on two separate jets to this country to undertake this operation many people saying these inconceivable that this was not given full sanction by the crown prince and many people are saying that this is consistent with what they describe as reckless policies made by him in the last couple of years they point to for example the war in yemen only seventeen thousand casualties in that war the u.n.
11:08 am
says around twenty percent of the big children these people suddenly so so looking at the obviously the siege the saudi laid siege on cuts and they point to what happens to the lebanese prime minister saad hariri when he was in saudi arabia last year and was coerced into resigning he withdrew that resignation off the international intervention so there has been there's a lot of scrutiny on saudi arabia it's going to be very interesting to see what comes out of this meeting between multiple the u.n. so the united states sexy of states and the saudi king as to whether indeed we all seeing a slow sidelining all of the crown prince and indeed whether in fact he will be punished. all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much charles stratford live for us there in istanbul and her family has issued this statement as we await definitive answers and facts from multiple ongoing investigations we believe it is imperative to launch an independent impartial and internationally recognized

11:10 am
a lot of people and we'll be back and very much but it will say i really believe it but nobody knows who the official reports of are just the rules of the reporting from you have early in the day president trump floated the theory of what may have happened at the saudi consulate it sounded to me like maybe we could have been road kill or no we're going to try getting to the bottom of this very this narrative also pushed by some saudi media was greeted with anger by members of congress the democratic senator from maryland sent out the tweet president trump suggestion that elaborately planned to murder in the saudi's own consulate was orchestrated by road killers 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 solomon one of the most

11:16 am
singapore good to have you with us so first of all is a deal coming together between the u.s. saudi arabia and turkey and how to resolve this i think what we're seeing here is a recognition of the fact that your mouth of the cape which was and was killed in the snowy consulate in istanbul and trying to come to grips with that in the way that allows the particularly the crown prince of saudi arabia to say faced the same tired it bulging that the turks have done what they should be doing in a case like this but even in that scenario. is there a way for mohammed bin sound man the saudi crown prince to save face as you said surely this would impact him or his power or influence in saudi arabia i think it's going to be more difficult if this is portrayed purely as
11:17 am
a rogue operation but which he had no real knowledge because the facts fight play in the face of that however if this is portrayed as either as a general gauge in the cancer that went wrong very badly wrong or for example a talent for script that reaction that went badly wrong then there's a greater chance. to come out of this but undamaged but less damaged in any case. i mean let's take those scenarios in the case that there is some admission that this was an official operation but it was only supposed to end in his interrogation or repatriation that basically means the first two or three days of statements from riyadh were complete lies in which they were saying they have no idea what happened to him they have nothing to do with his disappearance and the other scenario that he was the result he died of salt of a rogue operation would mean they basically have no control over their embassies.
11:18 am
whatever the sari say it's going to be in terms of its credibility question because whatever they are going to say to the last two weeks all kinds of statements and insinuations is going to be very difficult to prove was true i think what this is not so much about is trying to get to the truth of it but trying to work with the fact that mainly that there is little doubt that jamal khashoggi is no longer among us and has been kill and trying to project that in a way in which the newly family and particularly the crown prince search field or i thank you very much for your analysis on that one letter now the u.k. prime minister is holding a cabinet meeting ahead of the crunch brags that summit with european leaders on
11:19 am
wednesday talks between the e.u. and the u.k. have stored over what should happen with the border on the island of ireland after the u.k. officially leaves the union in march to reason may says an agreement with the e.u. is still achievable by european council president donald tusk says the possibility of the u.k. leaving the e.u. without a divorce deal is more likely than ever before. jonah hill is live for us in london so as i said joe a critical meeting ahead for treason may look like she's going to get the sort of rallying support she's looking for from her cabinet. i mean i wouldn't put too much money on that sami this is a very fragile and divided cabinet but it's certainly looking more likely now than it did twenty four hours or so ago that she will come away with some sense of unity in the cabinet to give you an idea of their for agility consider that last night on
11:20 am
monday a third of a senior ministers sat together over slices of pizza in the house of commons behind me plotting a sort of concerted effort amongst themselves to force her to change course in her negotiations with the e.u. they've been very unhappy about it particularly over the weekend as a deal seemed likely to be struck on monday afternoon as it happened she addressed the house of commons and went quite some way towards appeasing many of their concerns how did she do that well she assured them that she would not accept a you demands for an additional backstop or insurance policy keeping that border open on the island of ireland which would involve northern ireland the british territory remaining with a new you structures she won't have that they will see that as a challenge to the integrity of the united kingdom and she said that she would ensure in negotiations that the u.k. wide option of remaining within u.k. structures as an insurance policy if trade talks fail would be time limited that
11:21 am
they demand because it limits britain's ability to strike trade deals outside the e.u. so with those two reassurances to pro brags that factions in her cabinet and in her party she really is i think more likely than not to be sent off to brussels over the next couple of days with some sense of unity of a cabinet the idea but it is a fragile unity indeed maybe some sense of unity but how is the e.u. like to its role spong bend to the positions on those two points. well so much will depend on. on the outcome of this summit many of the leaders manual macron among them and said that we haven't got sufficient progress of this summit we're not having another summit they've already pointed to a shed yule summit in november saying we'll use that to start talking and planning seriously for a no deal breaks in a scenario that really neither side wants it in this summit they're willing to give her some room they're willing to let talks progress that would be the best outcome
11:22 am
for what you're asking here for the e.u. to concede two very different points if they put a time limit on the u.k. wide option it becomes a temporary insurance policy that's not much of an insurance policy and also very hard to see if they could see that that they might also concede the northern ireland point it's going to be extremely difficult over the coming days but as i say that no deal scenario is something both sides are keen to avoid and that i think is the best hope they've got of making progress all right thanks so much jonah how there in london. now a second aide worker kidnapped by boko haram in nigeria has been killed after the group's deadline expired the nigerian government says it's shocked by the death of a while in demand the nurse with the international red cross was kidnapped seven months ago in borno state along with two other medical workers it's a year to the day since a massive bomb blast killed a journalist in malta daphne. was investigating corruption in the island's police
