for the the teenagers mostly who died but also some of the school personnel who are victims of this attack turned out later on when investigators had access to the school that there was a body of an eighteen year old student found in the library he's a fourth grader and they said the he committed suicide it was not clear what his motives are for this tragic event killing his fellow students at this school in the east of crimea of course the city of courage is very sensitive to russia because it is in the annex a to part in crim crimea which is connected recently with a bridge to russia and president putin himself opened that bridge not very long ago so that explains also the panic here in moscow about this that lee event.

months especially i'm going i brought some time been discussing with the general my desire for purely purely personal reasons to move on i deeply appreciate these constant support invasive counsel on this matter but i will definitely not say goodbye or engage in reflections today has them spaced out diplomatic editor at the united nations for personal reasons or not james four years in that job i'm sure that will take a lot out of mr de mistura tell us about what he has achieved in those years. almost mission impossible is what he described the job as when he took it for and a half years ago it's proved a very difficult job he's tried everything from local truces to big international gatherings and i think the problem he's faced is that he's been trying the diplomacy but the thing that has been having leverage on the ground has been the military action and very much things changed twenty sixteen mr de mistura managed

to get a syrian government delegation to geneva along with a delegation that was the most representative of the opposition including armed groups the problem with those talks is that while they were taking place there was bombardment by the syrian air force and the russian air force and it is the russian air force and iranians on the ground which have turned the tide of this war mr de mistura throughout his time in the job so there was no military solution but certainly the military situation has changed on the ground the russians took control in many ways of the diplomacy arrival to his geneva process with their a starner then such a process and you can say that with the exception of it glib the syrian government certainly has found a military solution to syria james i think of names like kofi annan the regime which preceded mr de mistura any ideas about who may follow him because

clearly the job's not finished. the job's not finished mr de mistura hasn't finished he's going to damascus in the next week he's still trying to get a constitutional committee together the syrian government dragging its feet it's not clear why they would now not drag their feet given that he's already said he's leaving the job he may well have lost a bit of leverage in his last month in the job names are being mentioned for the job i've had my ear to the ground i've heard that mr de mistura might be leaving for some months nicol i'm glad enough who's the un's man on the middle east peace process based in jerusalem young qubit shoes the u.n. special represented in iraq he's also been mentioned as a ram tain lumber he's a former foreign minister of algeria and the last name i heard in the mix is a veteran norwegian diplomat who also served as a former u.n. representative in the past and that's gary pettus and he's currently the norwegian ambassador in china ok james bays but the inside word there thank you james our

diplomatic editor in new york israeli airstrikes have targeted twenty sites in the gaza strip killing at least one palestinian israeli military says it was targeting suspected harassed positions in response to rocket fire but a mass which controls gaza that distance itself from the attack says the rockets were an irresponsible attempt to undermine egypt efforts to broker a new long term truce israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu issued a warning to those responsible for the violence. so a lot because. israel regards to these attacks in the most serious way the attacks on the border fence on the communities residing next to the border be a shiver everywhere as i said at the opening of the cabinet meeting this week at school these attacks will not stop we will stop them and i want to tell you today israel will act with great force. an election candidate has been killed in a bomb attack in afghanistan as violence threatens to disrupt saturday's election the blast happened in the southern province of helmand at least ten candidates have

now been killed in the run up to the election and hundreds of people have been injured in attacks right across the country inshallah bellus in kabul. moon was killed inside his a mixture of office in lashkar gah and home and province he died when a bomb that was strapped to the bottom of this cheer exploded i people who were wounded three of those people who died the taliban did claim responsibility for this attack they called it a tactical attack and they had warned that they would do this they put out a statement two weeks ago saying that they would attack campaign offices and try to disrupt saturday's parliamentary election as much as possible they essentially see it as an extension of american influence in afghanistan and they don't they won't stand for it this is the tenth parliamentary candidate they have killed since campaigning began they've also ducted some candidates and wounded others. karami and is a well known politician he was formerly was

a general and fought during the soviet days he went away to moscow and he came back when the taliban fell in two thousand and one and has been a politician here ever since prison and helmand three years ago quite a difficult posting because of course helmand is a taliban stronghold but. man was was very strong very respected and had a lot of support in helmand he was much love his surname actually means and champion or hero and i think for a lot of his supporters a lot of people who would have voted for him on saturday certainly believe that. businesses in both lebanon and syria are benefiting from the reopening of a major border crossing crossing which was syria's only overland trade route to jordan for heavy fighting forced its closure of the reports nobody's in damascus are also hoping the reopening will be the beginning of the end of their political and economic isolation. syria had only one land crossing during the war and that was. things are now changing countries. for the first time in.

markets in the gulf thanks to the reopening of the border crossing between syria and jordan syria is trying to reestablish its role as a regional transit hub. syria wants to end the siege what we're seeing is the beginning of the end of its isolation in the arab world there is a recognition that bashar assad is staying in power the resumption of trade between jordan and syria doesn't just improve the economies of countries it is a step towards normalizing relations after years of tension u.n. peacekeepers have also returned to patrol the demilitarized zone with israeli occupied syrian golan heights. and syria and iraq are planning to reopen their borders following the defeat of in the region government leaders in baghdad who did break ties with damascus say syria shouldn't be marginalized and it must return to

the arab fold. syria is not. generalize it. but many arab states remain hostile to president bashar assad and the government leaders may have withdrawn much of their support to the rebellion but are weary of iran's influence. i think. in the conflict. how much interest they can how any future syria the syrian leadership are celebrating the reopening of borders as a sign of victory in the war as well as stability but that narrative doesn't reflect reality russia says the international community is no longer focusing on making syrian president bashar assad. but the west is demanding what it calls a credible peace process to free elections and until that happens it is

withholding much needed money for reconstruction. the united states is even threatening what it calls a strategy of isolation if syria doesn't cooperate on a settlement of the war the reopening of borders is a step towards ending syria's economic isolation but a long road ahead to international legitimacy. european union leaders are gathering for a decisive summit on briggs it talks with the u.k. of stalled over what should happen with the irish border before heading to the summit in brussels the british prime minister terrorism a addressed parliament at home on the issue if the u.k. doesn't reach a consensus in the next few weeks it will leave the e.u. in march without a deal germany's chancellor angela merkel says she's already begun preparing for that now state television in china is broadcast a documentary aimed at countering growing international anger at its targeting of we get muslims this is the first time cameras have been allowed into what china's

hello and welcome to the program has saudis close to crown prince mohammed bin sandman may be involved in what turkish sources say is the killing of saudi journalist amount has shoji as it has been told that a bodyguard for the crown prince led the operation which led to his show g.'s torture and death in istanbul he was last seen entering the saudi consulate fifteen days ago were joint saudi turkish investigation team searched the building took ashore says say there is further evidence that suggests shoji was killed there the saudis are continuing to deny any links to his disappearance u.s. president donald trump is defending the kingdom warning not to jump to conclusions . well the u.s. secretary of state has been in both ankara and the saudi capital after meeting king salmen and crown prince mohammed bin some men might pompei or says a credible investigation is underway and no one will be exempt from being held

accountable i made a commitment to to hold anyone connected to any wrongdoing that may be found accountable for that whether they are a senior officer official they promised accountability for each of those persons whom they determine as a result of their investigation has deserves accountability including members that were made no exceptions to who they would hold accountable they were they were just for they were very clear they are they understand the importance of this issue they're determined to get to the bottom of it and that they will conduct the report and what will get a chance to see if they take each promise that they would achieve that force. well let's bring in our guest now to talk more about this joining us here in studio is mohammad to share kawhi a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university in london we have saeed he is a columnist with a newspaper and leader of the behind freedom movement and joining us from chicago

is sana chop tyrion director of the turkish research program with the washington institute for near east policy good to have you all with the sentiment. let's start with the turkish perspective on this since that is that is that is at the center of all of this so so in a chapter i as far as the latest developments developments that we're getting on this now more more details about what the turks say is. that a killing has taken place in the consulate and there is a search now of the. consul general residence what do we expect to emerge from there and what will investigators be looking at. so what we saw is turkey first started releasing evidence to suggest that a murder took place and then last week on friday just as presidents are gone and

trump made up after turkey released american pastor andrew bronson who was in jail in turkey that was the reason for the trumpet on make up turkey went into a strategic pause it stopped releasing evidence unnamed turkish security officials stopped talking to journalists and i think that is primarily because early on was hoping that behind closed doors he would convince trump and the u.s. administration now that he had made up with trump to publicly back turkish position but we saw in the last few days that if not the whole u.s. administration definitely president trump is trending away from turkey's position and closer to the saudi position and i think therefore the turks have started decided to start leaking evidence again so yesterday secretary pompei was in ankara u.s. state department secretary of state and i think it's either to build pressure on secretary pompei or or perhaps even sort of he takes a message back to washington that turkey will not back down turkey started

releasing evidence again journalists who had access to audiotapes or who talked to people had access to audiotapes started painting details of this gruesome murder so i think turkey is back on the offensive now whether disses a strategic offensive it will last or tactical depends on to what extent the u.s. position aligns with turkey especially one secretary pump it comes back i think at this stage a turkish president on can take nothing less than not just a complete apology but someone pretty significant and important thrown under the bus so that he will accept to embrace the exit path that the saudi authorities want to take claiming that this was not a. clear operation when the murder took place i think it's getting more complicated than that on top in the last week and it all depends on what america does next asuna when you say someone needs to be thrown under the bus who would that person

be i mean how how high would it have to go up it's hard for me to judge i'm not an expert on saudi politics but i saw today that the consul in istanbul the saudi consul was relieved of his duties that just doesn't sound convincing to the turks that the whole operation of fifteen people allegedly flying in to stumble at the same time it was at the consulate staying there for two hours and leaving and if the audiotapes are occur in the very fight carrying out a murder that all of this could have taken under just the auspices of the council i think it would have to go higher than that but i'm not an expert on saudi politics can say how high but clearly there are two elements here one is that the legit murder took place on turkish soil so it's a violation of turkey sovereignity and turkey is very envious of that and secondly kushat somebody who had really close ties to many people in the air to an administration so this is also personal for at on he has to push back in other to

not to have his charisma and his strong man image domestically and internationally undermined and i think that's why if the saudis are to take the code and quote exit path they have to give something in return that is convincing for at on but also for the international audience that is watching this terrible tragedy mamma chair kerry would say your take on how the turks have handled this investigation because there is a delicate balance at play here in terms of turkey's relations with both saudi arabia and the united states two countries which which has a great deal invested here i would say to the turks of money pretty to diss process of. figuring out what happened so we have not seen the full story of what they have discovered in terms of evidence so there has been this diplomatic process going on in the first two weeks with three and then now with three and and washington so i

think the how i mean jerks have not revealed their evidence because they are more concerned or more interested in development in new york triangle where they can have a win win situation so out of the guy happens to be somebody who is a tough negotiator and i think now with the arrival of response from the white house i think there has been new or up or from what we washington on this is the american preacher who was released from turkey from turkey so i don't think that he was released without a kind of compromise and i think the saudis are paying the price both ways to the turks as well as the americans and at the same time the scandal now happens to be in new law in saudi politics and i think we should also remember that the gun and the saudi leadership leadership leaders have not been on good terms so we were we still have to wait to see where this investigation process will lead us within the

next three months four months or so from what you're saying then the turks are keeping their cards very close to the vest here and there and they're it's a matter of when when they when they play them so when we have seen how the evidence has been money paraded it has been a process of a drip drip you know kind of anonymous and this is anonymous sources and also with some selective media institutions inside turkey so i don't think that this is the proper legal way how that been london or elsewhere we would have seen the prosecutor or the ministry of interior appearing before cameras day one or day two he or she would reveal what the outcome of the investigation and also sort of. there us what is the. the point of the mark in the market between what is evidence and what is just speculation so i think in short the turks have turned this scandal

is that into a circus a political and diplomatic circus more than the whole process of alright let's get let's get say that she had to take on this should should vest gauges just simply be able to do their jobs here regardless of the of the political and diplomatic considerations are they being allowed to do that. thank you very much i listen to both contributors and i can see that everybody is not really clear about how the turks are conducting their own investigation and also how they are concluding their next move well so far i think fourteen so far so good because they have not the rushed to judgment they have not to rush through declaring a position they have not exposed to all the information in their hands so they are in a stronger position especially i think one of the most important thing that i pissed

away for example didn't think that. mr trump and his administration would take such a strong stand with regard to salute the area yes they are trying to brush aside to brush it of they are trying to probe lead to protect this woodies but at the same time there is so much evidence and so much media attention inside america that i think the white house could not simply brush all these aside and cling to the position they had originally so that their eggs have been many primitive enough to be able to drag the trump administration into this mess and i think the stakes they made the stakes too high for riyadh to come out from this quite buy and so i believe that the tax will. continue their

investigation and as my colleague said they will continue to give small hence one one at a time in order to. really close the sale because around the saudis because the saudis have done really a really bad job not just now and. the texan have also been very skeptical about the way they have the saudis have handled many other issues similar issues including their relations with the thought this is madness this is absolute none this and the way it is coming to realize that some of the sentiment has been. for the west and for as a percent of what america yes he is giving money whether the same time he's making everybody unhappy in the region so i think that they have played their cards so so well so far but also there are also afraid that. the trump

administration may stand the middle of the way and back up or back away from the whole process well we just want to remind viewers as well at this point that we did make several efforts to reach out to saudi on this oil and prosperity voices but we were unsuccessful we're going to expand a little bit on this and now to talk about the implications of this have for the united states and for mohammed bin sandman now u.s. president donald trump criticized the rush to condemn saudi leaders in an interview with the associated press he said well i think we have to find out what happened first you know here we go again with your guilty until proven innocent i don't like that we just went through that with justice kavanagh and he was innocent all the way so i was unconcerned a u.s.

republican senator lindsey graham music using crown prince mohammed bin sandman of ordering the journalist's murder. well i know this nothing happens in saudi arabia without knowing it who's india he's the thirty three year old crown prince who jumped over other people he's the son of the existing king and i think he's in a bad track i can never do business with saudi arabia again until we get this behind this what does that mean it means i'm not going back to saudi arabia as long as this guy is in charge so you're still in the crown prince has to leave this up to them but i'm not going to i've been their biggest offender on the floor of the united states and this guy is a wrecking ball he had this guy murdered in a consulate in turkey and to expect me to ignore and feel used and abused i was on the floor every time defending saudi arabia closers a good ally there's a difference between a country and an individual the n.b.s. figure is to me toxic he can never be a world leader on the world stage what does the president do thank the president

but what i would do i know what i'm going to do and sanction the hell out of saudi arabia you know we deal with bad people all the time but this is in our face i feel personally offended they have nothing but contempt for us why would you put a guy like me and the president in this box after all the president has done this guy's got to go saudi arabia if you're listening there are a lot of good people you can choose but m.b.'s is tainted your country and tainted him so. all right pretty direct comments there from lindsey graham u.s. republican senator not not pulling his punches there as we just heard and he interesting lee enough is a senator who has been very close to to president trump politically what do you make of that couple of interesting points now the the question will his death i'm sorry to say has become the high sugar deal both in finance and politics in two dimensions one detour have utilized this can the to improve their relations

with the white house and they are getting what they want at the same time with the wind when the more i listen to senator lindsey graham and others for representing mainstream politics within the republican party i sense that this is an investment in our own to drum platform toward the elections in november mitten returned and also in two thousand and twenty because lindsey graham is one of the strong candidates who would like to be taken seriously so there are several corners or several players who are betting on how to money relate and how to capitalize on how sugar is there and this is not really were it seems to me now the by the third week of this problem we have moved from the tree that has hidden the entire forest and these are these new trees that were discovered everybody is trying to make a bet and to make some capital over his death say this you have what do you make of this then in terms of what he means for mohamed bin sad man does this kind of put

the brakes on the way he has pursued power at any cost. well i think. the world has waited too long for this month to go they didn't ack and he wished a war on the him and why why did he which award in yemen now is that more than ten million are on the brink of famine and the whole world is could dimming except the political condition in that war the he could now have the live in his prime minister who will do that. he had a government could that be the prime minister and of that country as simple as that just and he was a guest of. his court so and now he has done this and of course the way he did with the g.c.c. has destroyed the g.c.c. the gulf cooperation council he destroyed it is almost forty years now since it was

in the. established in growing one nine hundred eighty one and now he has destroyed it so i don't think there will be any talk of the. no revamping of the g.c.c. again after what he did by excluding qatar that i can get and having him maty even with that with him on with what would result in that of a month and also in getting it when he wanted to take a stand against qatar but. didn't do that so he in the last three or four years since two thousand and fifteen when his boss the way he has brought disaster after disaster out of that is us that was own country which so all the or any other leader would antagonize his own family i just think them and putting them in that as that it's there's a vote of two or three months and then extracting their money for i mean. if i

could just if i could such i mean if i can have my did you did you think that there's going to be any pushback against him then inside saudi arabia does anyone there have the power to do that. i think only if the americans are willing to accept a change and i am not sure that he has drifted any of what anyone behind with him think of it and still correct because he has a human with everybody and i am not sure i think there is there is a serious case for change in saudi arabia this is this is a g.m. has faith its own people before failing the word and before failing the concepts like human rights and dignity and security so i believe that it is time that the word really really looks seriously at the possibility of a dream change in death kingdom because the outcome so far in the last few years have never been never to be a disaster and insecurity so we just heard from saeed they're calling this

disaster after disaster for mohammed bin sandman but do you think what's happened in istanbul will ultimately be his undoing now i think the problem here and here i'm thinking of lindsey graham's comments is that taking it to count that american foreign policy has two heads white house and the congress this is a seems to be a pretty significant public bonus a debacle for saudi arabia in washington especially judging from the congress side and i think this explains lindsey graham's comments here's why we don't really know what happened because we have the full tape or full evidence of the alleged murder at the consulate whether this was a rendition that went wrong or they wanted to intimidate or torture him or torture him to death but either way it's completely unacceptable here's why it's not that the saudis in my view targeted and potentially killed at this event it looks like

they did it's not that they target a journalist looks like they did it's not that they did all of this on turkish soil therefore creating a crisis with turkey they did. but they also targeted the washington post columnist and i think there is really no way to take from under this that's america's one of the most prominent papers most respected read by everybody in washington there's not a single person in washington d.c. including senators who don't have fifty washington post columnist and their address book on their phone so this is very clear to close to home for so many people and i think it is because it is the washington post columnist aspect of this a legit mother that makes it really difficult for the saudi royal family to dig under this and just say it was a minor incident it wasn't cleared i think that we haven't really seen the end of it i also believe that all will continue pushing i think that ideally plan a is to not have a rupture with the saudis that's why he was hoping that trump would mediate between

him and the crown prince and that's why he didn't divulge full evidence i think this is the reason why the turkish tactic so far has been drip drip and on has been absent he hasn't personally charged the saudis he had unnamed officials of the turkish government do it that's because this plan a is to avoid a complete rupture but increasingly i think if the saudis do not take the kind of exit path that aired on wants them to take this could lead into a more significant political event i think it's something turkey's avoiding it's probably wired on took a call from the saudi king and they spoke and so i would say that's still his plan a is still where he wants to go he doesn't want to be going to be forced into plan b. that would be a complete rupture with the saudis and of course that means at least doesn't appear haps ten countries that would follow the saudis that would enter a rupture with turkey so that will be a significant blow to turkey's foreign policy and its ambitions in the middle east

all right we'll give what's probably going to be the last word on the stand to. that how do you see this playing out that dan is is this something that the sound. these can ultimately ride out or will we see something else and i think this is a moment of throat. for the vinson man has become number one enemy to him have been some of his father and the entire government i think he has picked i mean his power picked a long time ago even and i would go back to early summer two thousand and eighteen with the controversy of the poor and how king solomon sale of the say is that there were five percent that was supposed to bring five hundred billion dollars for the twenty thirty vision it didn't work king solomon intervened and stopped to have an axe or i think if in terms of political society his momentum was exhausted a long time ago and it is now

a decline of his power although he managed to establish a kind of deep state within the south of the state and not. in favor of the idea that that we should have this ambitious expectation that he will be removed or do. you agree and i would say that he will be sidelined for a while and he will disappear from the public eye to the king kind of find a compromise where he is still part of the decision making and his son would remain at home all right he'll be fascinated to see how this does continue to play out but we're going to have to leave it there thank you to all of you mohammed share cow here. say this she had be in london and so an air chapter in chicago thanks very much for being on inside story and remember you can see this program again any time just go to our website at his ear dot com and for more discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter handle there is at

the documentary confirms to my analogy a very hard profile figure in much fiction and international cricket do you go to this map al-jazeera investigation cricket's match fixing the manana files. this is al jazeera. and this is the news hour from al-jazeera investigators have finally entered the consul general's home in istanbul to search for clues on the suspected killing of

jamal. turkish sources of also told al jazeera bodyguard working for the saudi crown prince the operation against the saudi journalist. i would myself be moving. in other news the un special envoy for syria. on a bomb blast and shooting at a college in crimea police say a student committed suicide after killing and injuring dozens of his. turkish investigators are now searching the saudi consulate in istanbul for a second time to search for clues in the suspected killing of jamal khashoggi it is believed the saudi journalist was killed there fifteen days ago turkish forensically is also searching the saudi consul general's home nearby after being initially delayed by saudi arabia in other developments turkish sources have told

out zero that that man in the red box there a bodyguard for the saudi crown prince led the operation against. muhammad been some of the same there with. the bodyguard had nineteen phone calls with saudi officials on october the second which was. as the day she disappeared and four of those calls were with the crown prince's private secretary the bodyguard also rented a private jets that brought some of the so-called fifteen man hit squad from saudi arabia to istanbul all right here's our team at this hour kimberly how could at the white house sit in conceal you in ankara and starting with jamal shell he is live in istanbul for us so two searches effectively going on then jamal the second search of the consulate and then the consul general residence. indeed yes the turkish investigators finally being allowed in as you mentioned

there in the late afternoon on wednesday to the building behind me the house of the console general the reason to remind our viewers why they wanted to search it they said is because they had traffic camera footage which showed this suspicious black van leave the consulate's which is a couple of hundred meters away from here a few hours after she had entered on that fateful tuesday they drove from the consulate to the consul generals home and parked up into the carriage and there was some suspicious movements and stayed there for a while there were some turkish media reports that apparently the same van had made a similar journey the day before or was trying to attempt to see how we could reverse back into the carriage there is this is a very narrow residential area there is a restaurant next door so possibly some sort of attempt to try and figure out how to do it in the swift as possible way those are some of the reports that have been

in the turkish media i must say similar tenuously there is a second round of searching taking place in the consulate this time the investigators are focusing predominantly on an area where they've identified or known as c. block this is part of the consulate grounds that is limited to only senior staff with clearance from the saudi consulates now usually you would have in diplomatic missions around the world obviously specific areas that not all the employees could and particularly considering that many diplomatic missions around the world would hire local employees to help in terms of support staff and immigration visas and everything else so there would be one part that would be limited or off bounds for those who aren't or don't have that. clearance the reason why they're focusing their investigation we understand it is because it is there

that they uncovered more evidence they said that supports the conclusion that they had that she was indeed murdered so they're recalling that area as we speak ok. well outside the consulate general's residence stand bull now we move to i'm going to hear a cynical sulu with details in him very detailed information which leads this fifteen man hit squad right up to the crown prince of saudi arabia. yes it is very interesting because the saudis saw it have been to deny it has been denying that they had no links with those people but the investigation filed prepared for by the turkish persecutors office a shows that this man in the in the red box that you showed has started things with crown prince mohammed bin some moms office because in four of the nineteen phone calls he did actually was to the private secretary of mohammad inside mom and

he's made to be the leader of this team because he has been also he has also organized the whole team they arrived as an everything including the private says that the air right on october second the day fellow journalists american ship had disappeared was on it was rented under his name but only other hand according to the investigation report the other fourteen members of the squad they and some of them either had no phone calls to saudi arabia within those couple of hours in a stumble or just a few so so it shows to the turkish officials that this man was the leader and he had direct things with the crown prince in seven months which will put actually when they report is told to their to field its bill puts mohamed bin sound in a corner probably on the other hand turkish officials are actually very careful and

very cautious about making a statement and they're saying that they have been hearing those reports they're receiving the same information from the security sources and intelligence sources but they're waiting for the judicial process to be completed ok thank you for the updates and. fun the it's chemically haokip outside the white house in washington d.c. we've been hearing from members of congress in the last couple of days kimberly and now the president himself. yeah and the president's latest comments are really a contrast to when he was promising severe punishment to have the highest levels of the saudi government if in fact the allegations against it are true now the president speaking from the white house saying essentially don't rush to judgment we are awaiting a report from the secretary of state who has just visited turkey as well as visiting saudi arabia and he says that it is then that he will learn what has happened to the missing journalist. they're an important ally but i want to find

out what happened where is the fault and we will probably know that by the end of the week but my point here is coming back to that i belong to where. you are with the use of words we have this war and if it exists we have an answer but you know we've asked for if it exists we're going to go no i'm not sure yet that it exists probably does possibly. have a full report on that from mike when he comes back because reza that's one of the things i very that's going to be the first question. so you heard the president there talking about saudi arabia being an important ally and here's the reason why many believe that the president is stressing that there are some very important sanctions coming down at the beginning of next month kamau to ron and its oil exports will be a lot more difficult to get out after the u.s. puts down those sanctions that could mean prices rising here in the united states at the gas pump donald trump is counting on saudi arabia to keep the supply going

to keep those prices low so it seems that there is this calculation that's happened inside the white house that even though saudi arabia has essentially been accused of murdering with impunity what's happening here is that there is this calculation that it is a rod that is the target right now and so the alliance the u.s. saudi alliance needs to remain strong and you have to remember too the secretary of state might pump a zero used to be a congressman and when he was in congress he was particularly hawkish on iran thank you can't believe how good at the white house now here's chris phillips in london counterterrorism expert former head of the u.k. national counterterrorism security officer who's been with us today and actually the last couple of days as we watch this investigation unfold chris i know it's difficult from a distance as we all are watching and hearing secondhand information but what sort of picture you building up now this second search going on now of the consulate itself as well as the consul general's residence. well i think it's quite

interesting that both both of being searched i mean that will elicit some information i'm sure it seems to me that it's already know pretty much what's going on what they're doing now is confirming what's what's happened i think the most important thing though is that they get hold of the people who actually are alleged to have done it those are the people that need to be spoken to under it you know interviewed by the police whether it's turkish police or whether it's an international police force to to actually work out what they did how they did it and why they did it and who gave them permission to do it and i think we have to assume to a degree that they met that may not happen or at least that people like that so close to it probably won't be offered up in lieu of that then what does it come down to all the forensic evidence and what they were able to pin on saudi arabia. well i mean what you would normally do in an investigation is try to find the people that actually committed the crime now if they're never allowed to get access to those people in any case well you know what we know is

a person's gone missing you need to see the body you know no one's actually even come up with an idea as to where the body is now whether it's been transported back to saudi arabia or it's been disposed of somewhere in turkey read that we don't know that so there's lots of point to this investigation but the key point is any investigation you're trying to get to the point of what happened and who did it now you're not going to really get to the point of who did it without actually speaking to those people so i would imagine there's a lot of pressure being put. on saudi arabia in the in the long term to actually get those people that are responsible in front of some investigators. in your past experience chris in previous counterterrorism operations you had situations where you've come up against brick walls like this or where at least it's become very difficult to actually get to the crime scene to get in there and. you know in

good time to get access to the people like you decide and how did you deal with it . well in history here i didn't in has it been anything like this specifically around the embassy but of course things like the pan am bombing that was blown out of the sky over over scotland that was very difficult because the suspects were in libya there was very limited information as to who they were the investigation took forever to get people in even then i don't think there's a complete consensus the right people were truly year dealt with for it so so this is you know you do have in any terrorist kind of. investigation you're going to have brick walls that you're confronted by particularly where things go across borders but nothing like this is quite unheard of in the thought that the thought that the you know another state has actually done this i suppose you could say that the russian incidences with lip.
