7:32 pm
when large britain's prime minister to reason may has met her cabinet to discuss the status of the talks she says an amicable divorce deal can still be achieved. ok let's go back to our top story now and that is of course the disappearance and presumed killing of jamal khashoggi in his them well let's bring in jim i'll show you alys outside the saudi consulate in istanbul for us tomorrow we are still waiting for turkish investigators to arrive at the residence of the saudi consul general in in istanbul of the of course the man himself the saudi consul general is proper assumably either in riyadh or on his way to riyadh that doesn't mean great does it presumably the investigators wanted to interview him. of course not i mean obviously you know there is that common understanding that if you've got nothing to hide you don't run away when it doesn't look like he's run away because it's not like there's been
7:33 pm
a statement from the saudi foreign ministry saying that they were reporting game they could have maybe played this in a way whereby it was at least executed in a better way where they said you know for discussions or to collaborate or to share information or what not but what happened was that literally just hours before prosecutors and investigators and forensic experts were expected to enter the consul general's home a consulate general decided to get on a flight from stumble and fly to saudi arabia it was a saudi airlines flight we understand that he embarked on and and that took him out of the country we do understand as you mentioned there obviously this is an investigation is meant to be a pretty wide one where it's not just the police searching the building behind me the consulates which is the last place that jamal officials he was seen and during two weeks to the day but they're also looking at other points of interest and also wanting to look at other things like vehicles and so forth and speak to specific
7:34 pm
people so we do understand that there are several people. connected let's say to the saudi diplomatic mission here and possibly who work for them that are also persons of interest not some of these people still remain inside turkey obviously we had heard barbara to remind our viewers the from the united nations earlier saying that there should not be any diplomatic immunity or rather the saudis should not be allowed to hide behind diplomatic immunity in order for there to be a transparent investigation to get to the bottom of this but up until now it seems that sort of he is unwilling to. go beyond or to ignore that diplomatic immunity or to get rid of in fact what the circuit for minister said earlier on tuesday which was perceived to be a green light for the consul general to leave was that far as his government was
7:35 pm
concerned there was the will to respect the vienna convention and they didn't see any reason. why they should lift the diplomatic immunity from these. officials from the saudi officials and it's been interesting because i mean the very fact that turkey is searching for example the consulate has a data on monday or soon at the. general counsel's residence is in itself a breach of what normal happen what normally happens diplomatically as with these embassies but how transferring the u.n. saying it that they want this investigation to be transparent i mean how transparent has it been so far what's the take there in turkey on that. i think there are probably other words in the english language that you could use to describe this investigation that would probably be a lot more accurate than from aspirants. when you look at how it is being conducted
7:36 pm
in the information that's been given from the very beginning it's very difficult to see how there has been an attempt to show at least the world in public opinion and journalists and even friends and family of jim out of touch weekly that's to demonstrate exactly what has been going on in real time let's try and maybe make this a bit clearer for our audience let's imagine that this was not a diplomatic mission right if this was just somebody walked into a building never to come out again you would expect that within hours there would be a police cordon established around it you would expect within hours every single person who is connected to that building in one way shape or form the owner of the manager or the president on duty the software working guy would be questioned you would imagine that you would have you know search parties you would have sniffer dogs and so forth all of that that didn't happen here because of the fact that it was a diplomatic mission not only because of the fact of the diplomatic mission some would argue more so because it was this saudi diplomatic mission inside turkey and
7:37 pm
all the different geopolitics and the kind of different excess baggage that comes that comes with what did happen instead was saudi officials were allowed to come in and out of the building as and when they wish turkish police were not allowed to enter the building you had meaning companies coming to the building prior to investigate to get there on an entire thirteen day period possed whereby anything could have happened anybody could have left the country there was no arrest warrants that was issued at least publicly and that's why people would say that the investigation itself is conducted in a very strange way having said that the turks would respond and say well they were able to establish a base. there are evidence that they managed to secure very quickly what happened and therefore maybe their ability to get votes over thems coupled with the fact that they were still able to uncover of sorts of things even though the ends of the full thirteen days later maybe that's why they were fully lax they didn't want to
7:38 pm
rock the boat for the saudis they do want to cause a diplomatic fallout that they were looking for international consensus they wanted to get their eyes like the united states so they'll point to those reasonings behind it but transparency barbara it's far from. with the latest in istanbul and jamal of course will cross life to you again as soon as we see these investigators the turkish investigators are heading to the consul general's residence jamal thank you. well of course we are now two weeks since the disappearance of jamal jeans he was once close to the saudi royal family recently turned into a critic of the government and of crown prince mohammed bin someone. takes a closer look at his life and career. for more than thirty years jamal khashoggi enjoyed a privileged position within the saudi royal circle in large part echoing the
7:39 pm
kingdom's views but also taking risks operating from within to push the boundaries when it came to reform that risk taking would eventually draw the anger of the kingdom's heir apparent. the one time insider crossing the red line hits so skillfully tried in the past daring to criticize the crown prince mohammed bin salma i still see him as a reformer but he is getting old poet within his hand and it would be much better for him to allow a bidding space for the critic for the intellectuals for all your active sort of the media to debate the most important needed transformation going in the country. past wasn't without controversy an advisor to saudi intelligence chief turki al-faisal helping saudi intelligence in afghanistan alongside the much i had seen on osama bin laden an advocate of political islam through the muslim brotherhood but he also championed reforms even praised the crown prince for enacting them but
7:40 pm
last year he went into self-imposed exile in the united states for comments that angered the saudi leader. seen here with the missing journalist last year has known and worked with the shoji for at least thirty years he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble. jamal khashoggi hasn't been seen for two weeks in that time the world's attention has turned to the activities of the kingdom and more broadly the arab world that has questioned all their governments virtually do anything they want with their citizens they. put them in jail they deny them work sometimes they take away their citizenship of that process of widespread continuing deep autocracy abuse of power across the arab world is not

addressed them that the fisherman who killed you will be bubbly tragic. a saudi journalist with a platform a columnist for the washington post regular spots in u.s. and international t.v. channels almost two million followers on twitter that someone so high profile could vanish without a trace is shocking it will also have a chilling effect on those who wish to follow his example dorsett jabari al-jazeera well the reaction to her show g.'s disappearance has been global online it's been at the center of multiple conversations contributions from people right across the world they are harding has more on that. name is trending worldwide and has been since he disappeared two weeks ago the conversation is strongest in the u.s. and u.k. but also interestingly in saudi arabia with hundreds of thousands of tweets asking
7:42 pm
questions defending journalism and pointing fingers most of the blame is directed at saudi arabia and the crown prince mohammed bin some months. in the u.s. do this with m.b.a.'s asking who donald trump is also condemned for not doing more for bowing to saudi arabia to ensure lucrative trade deals continue and many cartoonists like s m j to hear from iran showing the love affair going both ways it's not just blame for the u.s. martin shovel asking where does britain draw the line when it comes to funding human rights and saudi arabia the online criticism of course is not limited to cartoons. here's how weak trumps excuses even saudi arabia is not buying it because this afternoon c.n.n. reported that saudi arabia is planning to admit that jamal khashoggi his death was the result of an interrogation that went wrong let me ask an obvious question and the interrogation that includes fifteen men and a bone saw that go right. this is one of the most disturbing violations of human
7:43 pm
rights in recent memory people are also calling for justice even republicans who broadly support donald trump's policies want answers america must take tougher action and making money and selling more weapons because we're going to have a bottom line with more money is not an excuse for america not to stand tall and to make it clear to the world that we believe in human great rights and are prepared to defend them and now the conversation is focused on us secretary of state mike pompei a visit to saudi arabia many online are saying if there are not answers then there need to be consequences. harding reporting there now let's go to yemen thousands of yemeni families have made the dangerous trip across the red sea to djibouti desperate to escape the war in their country the government there allows the yemenis to live either in refugee camps or in the capital city but life is very
