by qatar at least. i'm his story say for the people every week brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these two reuters journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative work listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they would call it on the stories to them and see by it's the rights to those stories but then he never publishes the stories they're listening post on al-jazeera. welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here this hour turkish investigators have left the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul after nineteen hours searching for

clues into the disappearance of journalist. it was last seen entering the saudi consummate two weeks ago took us all thought is believed he was killed shortly after arriving the. washington post was published the last opinion piece written by shops who just before his disappearance a column focuses on freedom of expression in the arab world the newspaper says it was submitted to them by his translator and assistant a day after he was reported missing. and at least nineteen people have died in an explosion and shooting at a school in crimea investigators say an eighteen year old student went on a shooting spree before taking his own life russia annexed crimea from ukraine in twenty fourteen. european union leaders meeting in brussels say they won't hold a special summit on briggs it next month because not enough progress has been made towards a deal the deadlock centers on keeping the border open between the republic of ireland and northern ireland which leaves the e.u. with the rest of the u.k. next march ahead of the summit olens prime minister explained what his government

wants. arden's position you know is as it always has been ever since the referendum happened we want there to be a withdrawal agreement so the u.k. can meet the e.u. in order to fashion we want there to be a transition period so that businesses and citizens can prepare for any changes at the may take place we want there to be at the protection of citizens' rights all across europe wants there to be a financial settlement i mean also need a legally binding guarantee that there will not be hard border between northern ireland of the republic of ireland when the new leaders british prime minister to resign may fail to provide any new ideas at the summit to break the current deadlock if there's no deal the e.u. is insisting on a so-called backstop to keep the irish border open but there's no agreement yet with the u.k. on this whole has more from brussels. the hopes of doing a break deal look at this summit long gone british prime minister to resume a positive tone on a rival won't of impressed many here in brussels what we've seen is that we've sold

most of the issues in withdrawal agreements there are still we still the question is and. but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal. by working intensively and closely we can achieve that deal i believe a deal well now is the time to make it happen. may spent less than half an hour addressing her fellow leaders on the status of exit talks before they went into dinner without a further sign of the u.k.'s growing isolation within this bloc he presented them with no new ideas to break the current deadlock so there wasn't much to discuss e.u. leaders are running out of patience with britain just as britain is running out of time they called off a planned emergency summit in november judging that insufficient progress has been made to expect a deal by them it looks that's still we do have a lot of discussions and i'll try not to approve man told distance what u.k.

wants to and it's sad and difficult for european side to. negotiating with their person who has no full support of the position they know she's politically weak at home to reason may has bowed to different factions in her government and parliament rejecting the e use plan for a backstop or insurance policy against a future hard boarder on the island of ireland. they insist it's non-negotiable and there's more and more talk about all of this ending in no deal disruptions of borders tariffs on trade british passport holders requiring visas and work permits on the continent. there is one new idea doing the rounds the a use potential willingness to extend the so-called transition period after britain leaves the e.u. allowing a full three years for trade talks to take place before that thorny issue of the backstop applies it might soften some opposition to the backstop hardly imaginative

thinking at this stage but possibly all they've got the prime minister and others stressed that a deal is ninety percent done but on the problem of ireland they're still miles apart jonah al-jazeera brussels now it has one of the youngest democracies in the world and now bhutan is about to choose a new government is the country's third election since two thousand and eight. sent this report from britain's capital. it is a rustic landscape of peaks and paddy fields a country seemingly at odds with the modern world. less than two generations ago bhutan had a subsistence economy now it's hoping to graduate from the un list of least developed countries to a developing one little slower year war manageable than other places but there's globalisation is this explosion of media there's forces beyond our control and we're being in that pried open prized. betime became

a democracy in two thousand and eight under the orders of the previous king it's a change the country still getting used to throwing stations have been set up even the remotest corners of the country voters will choose from one of two parties there's very little politically that separates them including their names the d.p.t. the town's first ever ruling party and the d n t political newcomers it's really at the crossroads because we are a new party what we are offering people is that you must strengthen democracy and when i say. they must strengthen democracy we must strengthen the bridge between the people and the government they are looking at firstly bridging the development get then you're looking at income gap then it's gender gap then generation gap and then we're also we also have a strong social agenda we believe in doing what is right not what is popular both

parties also want to protect the driving force of peak times economy hydro power and accounts for a quarter of the country's national income most of which is sold as electricity to neighboring india economic growth for better health care and education if improved roads created more opportunities in industry but there's also a political debate on how best to balance this economic growth with protecting the environment and group hands unique cultural heritage nature is the backbone of the economy but hydropower is also responsible for half of all external loans making bhutan the second most indebted nation in asia after japan in proportion to population since it emerged from international isolation in the one nine hundred sixty s. the terms gone through seismic change markets of the capital are now flooded with food from india growth is everywhere to be seen but it could be many more years

before this one secretive nation stands on its own two feet. joins us live now from a polling station in paris that's just west of the capital many of us who are saying bhutan is one of the world's youngest democracies how important is this election. well the election is taken very very seriously indeed you probably see some voters behind me here is mandatory for them to wear national dress in offices in schools and at the polling stations too it's something of an occasion of course this is only the third election in bhutan history since its transition to democracy in two thousand and eight there are two parties that they're voting for the d.p.t. the party that were originally in power in the first for the first election in two thousand and eight in the deep end tea party who are electoral newcomers who are hoping to shake up the political landscape here in the country there is

a much separating them politically but of the hearts of all political policy whichever party you come for is the pursuit of happiness is the only country in the world where success is rated not through gross domestic product but through gross domestic happiness that roughly translates. as good governance that translates as finding the right balance between could all make an industrial growth and protecting the environment at the same time but i think having spoken to some people here of the current last couple of days that there is a degree of nostalgia for the old ways of doing things under the monarchy there are some concerns about some of the ills perhaps of democracy they've been watching democracy to unfold and take shape in neighboring india and i worried about some of the negatives also appearing here we're talking about the impact perhaps of social media on how people decide to choose the possibility of fake news impacting on

people's lives here i think it's fair to say that people are still trying to work out where they're perceived of happiness meets the road to democracy. thank you. now the un special envoy to syria staffan de mistura will step down at the end of november for personal reasons diplomatic editor james bays reports when he took the job over four years ago stefan de mistura described it as almost mission impossible now after seven years of war with over twelve million people displaced from their homes in syria and over half a million killed he told the security council he was stepping down with a peace deal far from sight let me old to give you some heads up if i may i would myself be moving on as of the last week of november mr de mistura tried everything from local truces to meetings of key international players

in twenty sixteen he managed to get syrian government representatives to geneva to meet with a delegation for the first time represented many of the opposition elements including key fighting groups this promising opportunity stopped in its tracks by military action during the talks by syria and its russian ally if therefore they can. to bring it temporarily for them dreaded for did not do any know the fate of the haven't they basically formed your top. i am not referring to military activities. it was russian air power and iranian forces on the ground that change the balance of power the russians then began to pushing talks first in a starter then in sochi as a rival to mr de mistura as geneva process in over four years at press conferences

and in interviews they seem to one thing that was your mantra there is no military solution and yet in that time we've seen starvation used as a weapon we've seen repression including torture we've seen aerial bombardment including barrel bombs we've seen the repeated use of chemical weapons the syrian government clearly didn't believe you and it now controls most of the country so it did have a military solution to it. you see i work for the u.n. and i've been working for the end now forty eight years in twenty two borth or mission conflict area i've learnt one thing and i know defectors in a few three song elective what matters if winning the peace mr de mistura isn't finishing quite yet he's making a last trip to damascus next week to persuade the syrian government to accept a finalize list for a constitutional committee they've been dragging their heels on that for nine

months it's unlikely his decision to quit will give him any more leverage jamesburg days out zero of the united nations a suicide bomb attack in afghanistan has killed a parliamentary candidate the blast happened in the southern province of helmand at least ten candidates have now been killed in the run up to the elections on saturday the taliban's warning people not to participate in the vote challenged ballots as more from kabul. and was killed inside his own make for an 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 were wounded three of those people 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 coup since campaigning began they've also adopted some candidates and. now. 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. karama and was was very strong and very respected and had a lot of support in helmand he was much love his surname. 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. part time for a quick check of the headlines here this hour turkish investigators have left the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul off to my knowledge searching for

clues into the disappearance of the german. he was last seen entering the saudi consulate two weeks ago. more from istanbul. now this part of the investigation appears to be complete now nine hours of searching the consul's residence by forensic teams and investigators overseen by saudi officials they spent quite a time on the first floor of the building we saw them in action looking at a number of areas and according to a source close to the investigation there had been samples found these samples were not told exactly what they were they were blood samples or d.n.a. samples but we were told that important evidence was found from the washington post as published the last opinion piece before he disappeared the column focuses on freedom of expression in the arab world the newspaper says it was submitted to them

by jamal's translator and assistant a day after he was reported missing the post says it had held off publishing the piece until now with the hope it could be edited with. european union leaders meeting in brussels where they will hold a special summit on bragg's it next month because not enough progress has been made on a deal with the u.k. european leaders said british prime minister to resign may fail to present any new ideas the deadlock centers on keeping the border in ireland open up to northern ireland leaves the e.u. with the rest of the u.k. in march at least one thousand people have died after an explosion and shooting at a school in crimea investigators say an eighteen year old student went on a shooting spree before taking his own life and the united nations special envoy to syria has told the security council he's stepping down from the role in the vendor staffan de mistura has spent years mediating between the syrian government and rebel sides he says he's moving on the personal reasons well those are the

headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after the street station that's a much better. getting to the heart of the matter the three big challenges facing human primed in the twenty first century and they are look we are war climate change and technological disruption facing realities whatever is there to fear is not in me it is in the people of your god and hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. my name. who is right and he. and he. in. the stream.

feeling anything yet you are going to need a pair of really good headphones for today show for me ok today we are diving into the world of autonomous sensory meridian response or a s m r now the term is used to describe the sensation people feel when they watch certain types of stimulating videos so do you find the sound of soothing desisting to someone crinkle wrapping paper low you like a lullaby if so you're probably one of the millions of people poring through a s m r videos on you tube but is there more to it than brain tingles joining us to talk about this in singapore melinda lauer she's the co-creator and artistic director of whisper large an immersive spa of the senses in new york comedienne and a s m r enthusiastic glaser in the studio we have craig richard he's professor of pharmaceutical sciences shenandoah university he also founded the n.a.s. and our university and that was in an effort to encourage research and in london

you've already seen and heard emma smith is an a.o.s. m.r. artist so low everybody's good to have you here emma and there were people watching the show at the very top of the show will be thinking what on earth is going on here explain. answer is a tingling sensation it's very relaxing it usually begins in the crown of your head and works its way down the back of your head down your spine often through your limbs it's tricking it by certain sounds soft voices someone playing with your hair during letters on your back. but ultimately the best way to describe it is that it's an extremely relaxing calming feeling and i make videos on you tube along with lots and lots of other people we use different sounds in our voices to trigger that feeling in the viewer

and people who experienced it are so calm that they're able to fall asleep that they're able to feel happy and rested and all kinds of different things that people are using the videos for so many different things m a u s m r ring us right now are you doing it on us right now i think you might yes you are. let me share this with you this i'm falling asleep unless but for good reason stay with us here as don't fall asleep yes exactly is that tim lewis on twitter because i was talking about quiet what we were doing today and i said this is a s.m.r. and tim says i had to google i had no idea what this is it's quite new in terms of giving it a name you know wrecked yeah the name didn't get created until twenty ten before that it was referred to as brain orgasm right some people were uncomfortable

starting that again because i want everyone to hear this that it used to be more so known as a brain orgasm so for two thousand and ten that's what people call bit but jennifer allen decided in two thousand and ten that she and others were not comfortable performing to it as a brain orgasm or what is just more so a very deeply. experience so she gave it this more clinical sounding name of autonomy a century meridien response and as a researcher i super appreciate that because when i go to research conferences and i share data about as some are it's much easier for me to submit my abstract to a scientific community and have a have the words are taught in a century meridian response and instead of brain or gas although it might get more red if it was schools by the name true would get more people reading my papers looking at how that how did you find. it's funny because i guess i found it right when it was quiet and because i was just one night i just stumbled upon a video of

a foot being massaged and i really wanted a foot massage at the moment and just watching it gave me the feeling that maybe my foot was being massaged but then i just started getting this feeling that i had fell out my childhood that very pivotal moments where i just felt it's what has been described this extreme station that starts in the crown of your head and it goes down your spine and all this and i was like oh my god it's happening and i'm making it happen and then i just started going down this wormhole of mythology videos and then you eventually start to see any of them are come up in the titles and i was like what's that and then it turned it over to the whole world. yes it's and that's how people stumble across it they start searching for something relaxing and then they end up coming across this what is this some are and they find all these videos and once you start with one it's like the chip thing once you start with one you have to try another one you have to try another one and it's great because there's such a diversity of videos that if you don't like the first one or the second one you

just keep trying more because there's thousands of artists who are each creating hundreds of videos i'm looking at something called the whisper. which is a sensory spa which i have never heard a million to can explain what he's what he's doing sure so we are in my safe performance company and i have always had so it was such a pleasure for me to kind of combine both of my interests in. that if sensually. is and. foremost is to my god it's an on guess sort of like. as he called him guests coming through this tend to be. it's great what melinda does because most of us first experience very smart unintentionally like say it's from a hairdresser or the attention of a teacher someone give us personal attention but what melinda has created is

intentional as some are so it's like if you want to go and get a massage you go to a professional ms soups if you want the world's best a smart experienced in person with someone you're not going to ask your teacher or your hairdresser to give you that experience you're going to go to a place like melinda offers for intentional it's more sessions right and it's really amazing as well i've been there myself and melinda this is just our own my goodness she's got the most beautiful car her little guy. and i went into her room her experience and she was doing what we would normally do in a video but to my face which was really a different experience for me and she just got very simply got a cotton boat and started running it over the top of my and talking to me and it was so nurturing and so lovely. i want to do it all again but yeah it was

fantastic i remember that and even years for her. own she says well a lot of what we do it's like. so much influenced by what you guys do you. and me how we develop in person practice it's basically by studying what. i said doing and then trying to translate that into something tangible yeah and it works it works really well let's not wait to do it people myself you have story a time where you like flip through because i'm always watching people watching me like reading through magazines very delicately and that if there is there something like that you're far. well not currently but we're going to let you know we called the aa is that there's all kinds of paper and packaging which. we do some charcoal drawing and i around that the beauty of. the extent of

so many eggs are much bigger thout their glory so i guess i want our audience watching this to work out do they have certain triggers that means that they can actually enjoy this experience so craig you put together certain sounds that may well be triggers let's have a listen to some of them. if .

craig was we know about the science of this there's not a lot yet known for the science the first publication science publication came out in twenty fifteen so we're only three years deeper into the publication world what we do know is that whenever people are surveyed why do you enjoy them are their number one response is they find it relaxing their number two response is it helps them to fall asleep and that is consistent all the research studies so far and we also have seen with some m.r.i. studies that there appear to be some differences in the brains of individuals who can and can experience i've got some pictures here and you can help me with this this first picture what are we looking at right now. this is an m.r.i. study that was just published by bryson locked myself and some other investigators

right and we had some people watch a from our videos they select to be a smaller videos that stimulate their areas tomorrow the strongest and then we captured brain images right while they were experiencing some are to see what areas of the brain are activated something akin to another image and this is people at sleeping activated by a.s.m. so what do what will the only engine yellow dots what are they those are areas in the brain that are having more activity during the moments of a as some are so by doing those brain images that allows us to look at well what are these brain which is what do they have to do with human behavior and what we show in the paper is the brain areas that are active. are very similar to the brain areas that would be activated if you were to think about someone who you care about or who cares about you right or if someone was to play with your hair or to give you like a grooming experience of any kind we have certain areas of our brain that are activated during those interpersonal bonding moment you know that even though

research is only a couple of years out you're certain of this so far so good right there's no there's no such thing in science as conclusive evidence there's only supportive evidence and so par so. this fits the target patterns what we see interpersonal connections being made between people there's partly we've also had another paper published as well in sheffield in this country that was published earlier on this year wasn't it and that that showed that the heart rate decreases considerably in people that watch videos and experiences some are much in the same way that meditation does so some people say to me when they're trying to understand what they are some are as they say to me war is a sexual thing and now i'm able to say to them well actually we've had research published now to say that the heart rate lowers so that's a really nice thing to be able to say because it's been

a lot of years when we haven't really had that much research so now we have three papers and it's so. this was the eight hundred pound very quietly spoken gorilla in the room for me because i've been watching some of your videos and your videos are beautiful but when i see them you're hot mama i'm not i'm not going to can't hear you right let me just say let me just play one and then you can then continue to tell me how this is not sexy let's have a look. are you ready for my. so

you're telling me this is not sexy or senseless because it's not affecting the illusion it's part of the brain quake right you don't depend on the viewers moment if you're already in a sexually aroused state then maybe that will be but if you're visualizing there is maybe you're sick or maybe you're just looking for some personal attention than what you're going to feel it's someone who's caring for you're going to feel that moment of how it's just someone given you positive personal attention rather than it being sexually arousing and we've had research that does support that shows that the majority of people who are watching videos ninety percent say they feel relaxed eighty two percent say it helps them fall asleep only five percent say that they feel sexually aroused during the video and that may be more about how they feel at the moment they know the intent of the video so i'm getting some live comments from people watching on you tube including the piano haven it definitely helps me relax before i sleep and like it goes indeed. just intentionally getting the soothing

feeling you get when you listen to comforting music and so forces from people like bob ross. over us ok nic what do you get out of listening to s.m. on offline the pitch i've got a boss who is a famous american go ahead till i can explain despite my. i just feel i do feel nurtured i just feel they've and call me and i meditate but it even a deeper feeling than that and it's just it's one of the greatest feelings in the world and i feel like so lucky that i can add it i mean it stands out to me as a child when it was brought on to me i felt it honestly felt very indecent because it felt so good i think it didn't get all sexually bad but it felt so pleasurable that it felt naughty to have this kind of pleasure in public so it would happen in

my classroom the teacher was reading a book and. freaked out and then it was women's voices always brought it on for me so that i was like am i gay for a while it caused me to have kind of a identity crisis and so when i found the answer our community i have to say i was like you know not that i don't want to be gay it was just like oh this isn't something to be ashamed of this is something that happened to ever agree one not just me and it's not sexual i because i don't i know the difference and it's not factual i trust you sue me linda says among just say it is on you tube. right now so many saying still the tingles i can't still the teen girls will doing performance a.s.m. ah this is going to be important to you is some people going to a show and they still do you give them the money back. there was no impression so. what we found is that people who don't

experience if they find it incredible the thought is well for i think if i were to . simplify it down to like what they mean if we get the feeling of being taken care of and whether or not you have a tangle well we get you because it involves so much personal attention and you just being seen and you feel like someone is actually. being present with you and that is something that's just universally enjoyable. i notice that i'm going. with the heart rate reduction yes. that was a great study because it did show that when people watch it from our videos their heart rate goes down if their spirits are some are what the study also showed is that the people who don't normally experience as some are their heart rate also went down so you may not feel the tingles necessarily you may not feel the main signature but you still can feel relaxed even if you're not feeling what we

consider that strong brain tingling experience because i have to guess the watch it was just to feel relaxed rather than the tingles they still hope people to relax and fall asleep quickly just by listening to the soft sounds and the voices you don't have to feel a tingle ing sing sation just a nice calming feeling and it's you know i'm looking here at c r m ali who sent us this tweet she talks about s.m.r. relaxing her and she says i have a lot of hectic energy in my day it's almost meditative to sit and do nothing while listening to a s m r videos and i actually only follow one a s m r artists gentle whisper and i wouldn't touch a gentle whisper and if you're wondering what gentle whispering is like you don't have to wonder very much longer have a look. first time. you know i see.

you know when you. make you feel. pain and you're relying. other zero never be the same again. it was watching a maria gentle whisper in the radio early on when i first discovered s m r that made me understand probably what is the origin of a smart right because i was watching one of her videos just like there and asked sudden had this feeling this is what an infant must feel like when their parent is soothing them the worst of the light touching the gentle voice the caring disposition and it made me think well that's probably the origin we're probably are born to be soothed by those gentle sounds those gentlewoman's because that

communicates to us as an infant who doesn't know a lot of information this person is someone we can trust this is someone we can feel relaxed with and i think it's something we just carry as we get older even if you don't feel the tangles yeah all those behaviors are behaviors that do relax people whether you meet a stranger somewhere here or it's a friend and you say are this is someone i feel comfortable or out it's the same exact kind of experience getting this isn't live on the i have to say this conversation is creating some some live comments coming in right now this is coming in from facebook this has to be here in sri lanka i was having a s.m.r. since i was a little kid it's to your points but only now have i learned what it is it was because of this i became very fond of music and i'm also wondering. about how lucrative this is this is a business for you. and i started doing this as my full time job just last year and i've been doing it for five years so it took me

a long time to build just a you tube channel that was earning enough so that i could earn a living it's never been about earning a living. it's it's who i am it's kind of five finally found my purpose in life and in a way i'm so passionate about it and it's something that reaches out to so many people i have my world is so be now. and i connect with people all over the world i mean it's just incredible and i just feel so lucky that now i can even earn money from it that's just crazy. so yeah you know would never say to anyone starting and i said march on or if you want to get rich is huge here because you tube is a strange place anyway and it's very difficult to grow a channel and everything it's just more about being a part of a community it's about developing skills i didn't know how to edit videos before i

started doing this or work microphones and everything so it's been a very big learning curve but mostly it's been about connecting with people and widening my worldview. just just learning that were all very similar and we're all very sensitive and it's an incredible experiences it's an incredible community the community to be a part of as well made it was the most positive aspect of a s.m.r. that you've seen as you've been doing your work in terms of the performance part of a.s.m. are you doing for people. i guess being intimacy to a lot of people and intimacy is not just what you get on unless. it's in that sense of connection but it's also physical touch and the nets. uniquely to be inside my community that when i am going to brescia ham and actually brushing your hair. and

just kind of combining all that physical pain these we. performative with yuckiness in our. editors used a great word intimacy and that is a term a lot of people will use and experience people feel even if he's description that she had what she described a lot is intimacy and it it feels strange to experience that with a stranger someone you just met whether it's at whisper large or someone who's a stranger in a video and so people do have a lot of discord with that oh well why am i suddenly feeling very comfy with someone i don't even know and that's because our brains just seem to be hardwired that when someone acts in a gentle caring way to us our brain lets that in and that's the feeling relaxation but it's also feeling intimacy that when you first experience it like nicky described it may not be comfortable i've been in committee meetings that might have

actually eerie and there's and there's someone whose voice just will trigger it and all sudden in the middle of this committee meeting and getting sleepy i'm getting drowsy my guess is that i had time for areas to monitor meetings like that see what i didn't think it was the key word is you know occasionally i mean i see that in a sentence and my fear is that people that get some are had really harsh mothers and so they're searching for it elsewhere i mean i know i did and when my grandma would just sometimes draw on my back i was like can i get that every very hand i think that i just have a this yearning for it and she's a great woman but like not a lot. all right so guess i feel like i've just started this conversation is so much more to talk about if you are intrigued and you've been watching this program look out online for hash tag a s m all and then you can find out more you'll find it online and you'll find in own you tube as well you'll find some of the address there on you as well and also you can check out craig which is book is called bring

enter it's a team of forensic experts some police headed by the attorney general's office began combing through the residence from inside and out all in the presence of saudi officials the exception being the consul general himself who unexpectedly left turkey the day before. by the evening of facials had told al jazeera that investigators had uncovered more evidence in the case of missing journalists. down the road a second search of the consulate itself was conducted on wednesday with police focusing on the c. block section of the compound where they had previously uncovered evidence that they say proved she was murdered more and more information is being revealed as a clearer picture begins to form albeit slowly of what's happened to jamal khashoggi turkish investigators have identified this man made her more trip a member of crown prince mohammed bin said man's personal detail as a main suspect he had accompanied bin sandman on several foreign visits in recent

months turkish intelligence leaks a multitude made for phone calls to the crown prince his own personal secretary on the day she went missing and it was under more trips name that the private jets used by the saudi hit team were hired turkish investigators say they already have the evidence that proves that jamal hustle he was murdered and his body dismembered they say the reason why they insist on conducting searches like the one in the building behind me is so that they can establish all of the facts sarky says' it will go off to anyone and everyone responsible for this crime even if that includes one of the our wallets most powerful man. in istanbul when live now to charles stratford who's outside the saudi consulate in istanbul so charles turkish investigators finally being allowed into the residence of the saudi consul what more can you tell us. but it seems there was another extensive search last night and investigations you say focusing on the consul

general home lost in at least nine hours we understand that there was quite a lot of focus on the garden behind his home. we know that dogs were used in that so there is an implication that some sort of excavation may well have happened as well also a lot of focus on the garage and what we believe was a vehicle that may have been used or may have suddenly driven from the consulate to the consul general's home on the day that she disappeared. interest simply it was around one thirty in the morning that certainly members of that investigative team removed from the consul general so she's around two hundred meters from here back to the consulate we understand that the focus of the investigation here again was the so-called a c. block which we understand is an area that is only that is only. given

access to diplomatic stahl's we also get reports of gold reports that there was samples potentially found in the consul general is home that match samples that had earlier been found in the concert of the self but we have no more details as to exactly what these samples are there's also talk now of increasing kind of focus on what the to government will say to these government leaks a is an o.d.o. recording or will be a recording that was made inside the consulate and it's being reported that the focus of that the audio recording is what happened in the first seven minutes when she arrived here but as i say yes it seems another thorough investigation happened last night and the focus of this analysis now we have no confirmed information as to exactly when these. it's will be made available but certainly creasing great show and that's increasing pressure of course as we've been reporting on the saudis

to gets to the bottom of this investigation and find out exactly what happened when two weeks ago in the consulate and charlie what more details are emerging about these fifteen saudis suspects who are implicated in for shelby's disappearance. well you heard there was a poll there's a lot of focus on that this man. who was part of the crown prince's hussle security group we understand this man it would be full of the saudi embassy in london is also a lot of focus of what's being described certainly according to the government really of a man who is described as the able to an autopsy experts a man called muhammad to bike. it's understood the bike he was a professor at the nih for university in saudi arabia and he. is

a top specialist on all told c specializing in the d.n.a. that d.n.a. analysis of both is now we understand that he has well as. the trip was part of this group of fifteen men that according to turkish government sources came into to feel that day that crucial and she disappeared government sources saying that they've broken down this group into sri subgroups the people that were supposed to be doing the interrogation of the killers and then those that was supposed to be covering up the evidence of course we called them any of this but it does seem as if the focus of attention now is on these fifteen individuals who we believe left the country on the same day as khashoggi disappeared in the evening on two private jets one going to dubai and one going to egypt so yes one can imagine that the focus of this investigation very much on them but we understand that they have all left the country like a chance not today in istanbul charlie thank you. and the washington post has

published the last opinion piece written by jamal khashoggi just before his disappearance the column focuses on freedom of expression in the arab world the newspaper says it was submitted to them by jamal's assistant a day after he was reported missing the washington post says it held off publishing until now having hoped to edit the article with the shoji meanwhile in the us president trump has denied helping cover up saudi arabia's role in the khashoggi case but he's facing mounting pressure from politicians to reveal his own business ties with riyadh and take action against the saudis is mike hanna. president trump will receive a personal report on the case in coming hours he's urged turkish authorities to hand over any audio and video recordings they may have we've asked for if it exists the president has been reluctant to criticize saudi arabia or discuss any sanction that may be imposed dismissing allegations of saudi complicity as and i quote

another case of guilty until proven innocent they are and now we have other very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia the. tremendous purchase of not only military equipment but. president trump is awaiting the report from the secretary of state who were sent to the region in the face of growing political uproar mike pompei oh spent time with senior saudi figures during a visit to riyadh and said they had denied any knowledge of the matter and had started a full investigation. he also met with the turkish president in ankara shaking hands for the camera but insisted it was too early to go into details about the journalist disappearance and like with any of the facts. they they didn't want to either in that they want to have the opportunity to complete this investigation in a throw away and more pressure from congress the house speaker paul ryan saying action must be taken we have laws for this we recently passed that magnitsky act

which is a man who was killed in prison the russian prison so we have sanction laws on the books in terms of this bipartisan action president trump is given one hundred twenty days to decide on what sanctions to impose a group of democrat senators have demanded that the trump family disclose any business ties that may have had with saudi arabia in the past decade but this is legally and enforceable and likely to be brushed aside by the president and a reminder of the man who's at the center of this ongoing crisis the washington post has published in a. union piece written by jamal khashoggi shortly before his disappearance in a t. criticizes the lack of international response to the abuse of journalists in countries like saudi arabia and egypt he writes these actions no longer carry the consequence of a backlash from the international community instead these actions may trigger

condemnation quickly followed by silence as a result he continues arab governments have been given free rein to continue silencing the media at an increasing rate chilling words from a man who may himself have been silenced by can. washington well information leaked to the media by turkish investigators has included details of what they believe to be a saudi hit squad rob matheson has more these are the fifteen men turkish media say are linked to the disappearance of saudi journalists general. irrational lineup was first published in the turkish pro-government newspaper new york times says it's identified that some of them may have links to saudi prince mohammed bin sama knock out other lizzie's more threat is described as a diplomat assigned to the saudi embassy in london eleven years ago this is one of several photos the newspapers published showing with prince salman another man is

named as. a hobby and york times says a saudi news has reported that someone with that name was promoted to lieutenant in the royal guard for bravery for defending prince someone's palace in jeddah. the newspaper also says an additional alleged member of the saudi team mohammad saad runny has the same name as another member of the wall god now this man is reported to be salah muhammad too by the turkish investigators say he's an expert in autopsies for saudi arabia's internal security agency the turks also say meshad sonny is a lieutenant in the saudi air force born in one thousand nine hundred seven a photo of a man it is turnbull airport appears to match the facebook profile of a man with that name now almost all the information about the original fifteen suspects seems to have come.
