still he's committing trillions of future dollars to war in space and we need an enemy for all this money and china is the perfect enemy. the aim of this film is to break a silence the united states and china may well be on a path toward a nuclear war is no longer unthinkable in a few years china has become the world's second biggest economic power the united states is the world's biggest military power with bases and missiles and ships covering every continent and every ocean china is a threat to this dominance says washington who is the threat this film is about shifting and great danger but it's also a film about the human spirit and the rise of an extraordinary resistance among people on the frontline of a coming war where the words never again have an urgent meaning for all of us.

why. this is bikini the room of an agent underwater volcano in the marshall islands with its necklace of twenty three islands bikini is a place of beauty and silence and made us. look closely where the emerald look good suddenly falls into a vase black hole this is the crater of one of the greatest manmade explosions the hydrogen bomb they call profit. if a private an entire island and poisoned almost everything and everyone. has a plane flew low we seem to touch it's deathly void.

the marshall islands lie in the foss pacific ocean between the united states and asia captured from the japanese in world war two they have long been america's strategic secret its stepping stone to asia and china. seven ships take possession three miles off like you need to stop are the shattering impact but tomic. warships was assembled in big. in order to blow them to bits. the decks of the seventy three test ships anchored in bikini lagoon are steamed up

the bridge activity and scientists but experimental program designed to furnish data on blast the banks of the mighty atom by animals up many animals were strapped to their decks like a bush knows. the experiment was to see how they done it. right all right but out of pride to determine their perfect predators are part of their pair of the atom black.

today bikini is unfit for human life radiation poisons the food and water. shoes registered unsafe on a geiger counter. the abandoned cemetery looks out to where the sun rose one morning then rose again as apocalypse. the equivalent to one hiroshima bomb was exploded in these highlands every day for twelve years. a scarred beauty has returned to the island but the people have an. exile to barren islands many of them spoke of in one nine hundred sixty eight president lyndon johnson told them he pushed safe to go. but it wasn't safe and the u.s.

authorities knew it wasn't safe. i mean yemen. at sea then. the wrath. of the willing. anyone. in india would nave the one and with the another not. and get a life plane you and other that you had given what happened as a result of the bravo test was that a coverup was launched very shortly after march one million there's such a history of wrong information outright lies deception there was no no attempt to take the most conservative approach and make sure that everybody was ok they knew but the right to fall that was going to go. and they took that risk and when they then made known full well equipped. they still had an opportunity to

evacuate even a day of the shock that these people were not evacuated we were not evacuated. so. it only leads one up i don't believe it number one you know states say this again they thought. the effects of radiation was a. pretty strong indication. it seems extraordinary here we are this far into the twenty first century talking to people still frightened of all that nuclear fallout all those tests all those years ago the impression i get is that there's some little trust among people the us is trying to provide as much information as much good information as we can and so i wouldn't accept the characterization that that there have been lies and cover ups the word guinea pigs comes up

a lot from the survivals i would would refer you to our embassy website on that i've read it and that question was looked at during the clinton administration and that was not the conclusion they came to. the secret of the marshall islands this project full point one declassified documents reveal a scientific program began a study of mice and became a study of human being exposed to radiation. chicago is where it all began i'm for the e.c. are gone lab in chicago last week came seven men natives of the marshall island leben is from here on the ranch were radiated by our march nineteenth before hydrogen bomb. john is mayor of wrong which is one hundred miles from the. john as we look at a happy amenable to. his grandfather ran almost make it on his car and. a white man

brought money and religion on the market or. drawn reed knows about god and is a pretty good mayor. iron roll is a radiation defect or human being. inside john. whose first visit to the white man's country meant san francisco cable ties and chicago skyscrapers and streamlined right for first visit to the white man's country and the iron rule. these people are getting paid they are part of the experiment project four point one they are being returned to wrong lap and island one hundred miles from bikini by the u.s. navy they were told repeatedly it was safe to go home. they are being returned to an island described by u.s.

atomic energy official has by far the most contaminated place on earth he added it will be interesting to get a measure of human uptake when people live in a contaminated environment. the people of. poison island for twenty eight years as guinea pigs. the objects of regular scientific examination. this is the largest of the islands. occupied by one of america's most important and secretive bases. known as the ronald reagan test site it's a missile. the pacific ocean away to asia and china.

here the people of the mushroom islands of once again being subjected to the testing of weapons of mass destruction designed for a coming war on. the basis part of a remarkable. knownas vision twenty twenty devised in the nine hundred ninety s. it's amos described officially as full spectrum dominance. this means control and sea. cyber space and space five four three two one. from california almost five. the u.s. air force tests it's intercontinental missile by firing them at the marshall.

imagine a missile coming screaming out of the sky it's absolutely terrifying there i think that there is there's really nothing. that i can imagine that that would be more terrifying than this and we're talking about. devices that any one of them could go off course. none of this disturbs life on the base where small town america has been recreated a wonderland of the suburban good. and. fabulous but there's nothing better than living on a tropical island and pretty much have each property and it's ok i live here.

just across the bay busybody. known as the slum of the pacific more than twelve thousand people live here on the strip of land less than a mile long. moony of them refugees from what is now a missile base and from islands poisoned by nuclear testing. every day people from me by abroad to work on the missile base to water the gardens and the golf course. then the ferry back to the poll for. this is apartheid in the pacific.

if i need a man. any medicine. and. fruits. vegetables and fruit yes here we are it's a tropical. and you need vegetable and for. fish vegetables and fruit but once abundant only by. today fish is contaminated by toxic pollutants so the environmental protection agency. now the only food most people can afford is process and imported they have the highest rate of diabetes in the world.

when someone gets really you. do they go to the hospital over on the base because. they've got a pretty modern clinic or. they don't treat three of them with. places where they are for taking the blood. then. so what happens when somebody is seriously ill. to haiti. the most consistent example given is the example of the ronald reagan missile site and e.p.i. next to it. on the ronald reagan missile site is a vivid example of the united states golf courses and. swimming pools and all kinds of amenities. right next to it is what was called the slum of the pacific and said it's a challenge a by. is in great need right now we talked about infrastructure one of the projects

the u.s. is working with our australian colleagues and with the asian development bank is a sewer and water project desperately needed for the by he buys overcrowded schools need repair actually the u.s. military did a survey back in the seventy's and found that the sewers didn't work and the water didn't run and they like tricity wasn't there and only happened nor all that long ago they found almost exactly the same thing why why hasn't that been fix we've there's complete agreement that eba should be a priority and not only because of the current activities of the ronald reagan space and missile defense side but there's also now an additional component that is providing for global security and that's the space fence project by the air force. every mis all fired on the marshall islands by the us military costs one hundred million dollars each. this school bus is the only one only

by they can't afford to replace it. the bees. the people on marshall islands we have no need for. it's being used to test missile the foreign countries like china. and anywhere else if they want. what would you like to see happen. i want our land. the cricket world isn't an odd about match fixing i mean you have to think why would he give me a go he gets better than he did byrne to me and it's the you know big big fan base

president on a trump says he'll think carefully before deciding on possible measures against the saudis we have congress is very much involved i will in this case make certain recommendations that we have four hundred fifty billion dollars worth of things ordered from a very rich country so to arabia. six hundred thousand jobs maybe more than the. very very hurtful to this country if we said oh we're not going to sell it to you so there are other things we can do but i would certainly make that recommendation the congress but i would very much listen to what congress has to say i went to saudi arabia first and a large part of the reason was they agreed to do this they agreed to spend four hundred fifty billion dollars on buying and investing in the united states so i hope we can keep that i hope we don't lose track of that there are plenty of other things we could do but we're going to have some answers pretty quickly but i will

have congress involved which i think is an important part of your question. could be could be going to find that we're going to find out who knew what when and where . meanwhile next week's investment forum in saudi arabia will go ahead with a revised program this after many business leaders and governments pull out over the course shall be case it comes as u.s. media say secretary of state might on pay or gave saudi arabia a deadline to finish its investigation says the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sunline has promised the record be transparent and fair our other top story this hour at least sixty two people have died after a train plowed into a crowd in india's northern punjab state more than two hundred others have been injured the accident happened on the outskirts of the state's largest city of amritsar victims were standing on a railway track watching a fireworks display during a religious festival thought they didn't hear the oncoming train. i'll be back with a news hour in twenty five minutes time after the second half of the coming war on

china say without is there by for now. this is shanghai this story short on the yangtze river china's greatest city.

i arranged to meet the american author james bradley whose latest bestselling book the china mirage reveals an extraordinary hidden history of american power and modern china. it was almost illegal for someone like me to know a chinese for almost all of american history the chinese came to america to mine gold and build the railroads and americans decided we didn't like the competition so in one thousand nine hundred two we had the chinese exclusion act which kept the chaney's out of the united states for about one hundred years so you have the largest population in the world that can come to the united states so at just the point we're putting up the statue of liberty saying we welcome everybody we were wrecked in a wall saying we welcome everybody except those cheney's. fear of a rising china today is the latest chapter in the history of propaganda but present

to the chinese as uncouth and infant teil. to western popular and political culture the chinese became the yellow peril. and racial stereotypes pull the constant theme of fear and threat. as the t.v. show is actually. twisting his. revels enough stuff. so. this caricature of an entire people can see old enough or agenda.

for the american to lead to in the nineteenth century china was a goldmine of drugs. war and delano the grandfather of franklin delano roosevelt was the american opium king of china he was the biggest american opium dealer second to the british he welcomed the first american ship into china to help with the opium wars much of the east coast of america colombia harvard yale princeton were born from opium money the american industrial revolution was funded by huge pools of money where did this come from it came from illegal drugs in the biggest market in the world china and we get this right the grandfather of. the most liberal president. franklin delano roosevelt was a drug runner yes sir franklin delano roosevelt never made much money in his life

he had public service jobs that were very lowly paid but he had yachts see it summer homes he had mansions in new york city the kids went to private schools he inherited a fortune from warren delano his father who is the american opium king of china if you scratch anyone with the name forbes in their name john forbes kerry secretary of state john forbes kerry you'll find opium money his great grandfather was an opium dealer how big was opium money opium money built the first industrial city in the united states lol massachusetts it built the first five railroads in the united states opium money all over the east coast but it wasn't talked about it was called the china trade and if you go to various museums you can see teas and silks. exhibited and they keep quiet about all that big opium money.

in the scramble to get opium money china was invaded and colonized by britain and the other imperial power was. foreign nominees grab the whole swathes of china. this is the american army in tiananmen square peaking in one thousand nine hundred. great cities like shanghai were taken over and declared concessions and foreigners lived a life of privilege and luxury amidst terrible poverty imposed on the chinese. a resistance known as the boxer rebellion was put down with a savage. this rape of china set the tone for how china was

perceived in the west well into the twentieth century. this is the distinguished historian we should theodore each white hundred five of the white house of it speaking in the one nine hundred sixty s. perhaps china is too vast to be governed by mercy yet of chinese mind craves. they must be brought to recognize they are the biggest factor in the world's disorder. and we must untangle the madness of their mind the most difficult task in the world is to reach the minds of men who. what why i was really complaining about was the loss of a china but the imperial west could dominate and the to feet of general chain kai's sherrick who were these famously powerful christian wife mailing sume

guarded america's interests in china. that is until they were thrown out in nineteen forty nine by a communist revolution led by mouth set tone. mali had beaten chiang kai shek three times in huge battles involving millions of combatants mao was a winner in this contest from the early one nine hundred thirty s. on but we knew very little about it and people don't understand that even today. shanghai here's the message clearly as foreign businessmen board up their shops go now go quickly communism archer's take what you can but. in elemental haste the western powers evacuate the city they have built for good and bad alike mostly the businessmen come for profit as well as missionaries come to she must say good bye as out b.n.c.

steams the last of western influence farewell to essentially. even today it's difficult to understand the paranoia ignited by mouse revolution. as we look at china on the map we can see that china is the basic cause of all of our troubles in asia i believe that for the fate of. if you met the. to be prepared for the puppy beneath. a shiny new me at their own the united way. one of the myths about mao is that he was an implacable enemy of the capitalist west.

shanghai today is a prosperous international city still run by the communists at least. when i was last in china more than a generation ago the loudest noise was the tinkling of bicycle bells now just the streets were dark the universities were closed the chaos of the cultural revolution had given way to a great silence where exhausted was the freest comment. coming back the change was barely comprehensible. here in shanghai the freedom bears no comparison yes there are issues with human rights especially the right to speak against the state and challenge its power since i was last here millions of people

of been lifted out of poverty many of them into an entirely new middle class this epic is still barely understood in the west or should there be wilfully misunderstood the truth is that china has matched america at cern great game of capitalism and that is on forgivable. one measure of china's new capitalism is the run ritualised this league table of china's mega rich has published by rupert hogan wore the old attorney and his chinese name as her run he's received many awards including china's man of the year this year two thousand and fifteen it's probably been the most extraordinary year of wealth creation in the history of china again

in i've been doing this list of fifteen sixteen years i've never seen a year late two thousand and fifteen you know it normally for two hundred million pounds or three hundred million dollars we find say eight hundred thousand people this year two thousand and fifteen is it's doubled they'll be more dollar billionaires know about in china than in the u.s. so the u.s. up until now has been the leader in terms of business. you know the most successful business tycoons in the world. china two thousand and fifteen where they've taken the us said amazing. modern china is full of telling irony is not released this museum that was once the house where mounties comrades secretly found of the communist party of china in one nine hundred twenty one.

today it stands in the heart of an exclusive fairy capitalist shopping district. when you leave the shrine to china's great revolution you're confronted by a surreal spectacle for right outside where the chinese communist party it was bone of the very symbols of capitalism stocks apple caught here. and down there perhaps the free market is greatest triumph bottled water but in shoals you live young costing six pounds for a small bottle in my hotel. now spin and his tomb if he was here i'm not so sure hidden history is always a key to the truth five years before his great communist revolution in one hundred

forty nine mts sent this secret message to washington china must industrialize wrote. this can only be done by free enterprise chinese and american interests fit together economically and politically america need not fear that we will not be cooperative we cannot risk crossing america we cannot risk any conflict. mal received no reply. nothing has changed. mouse a tongue was looking to be a friend with the united states from the beginning mouse says i will go meet franklin roosevelt in the white house moll reaches out nine hundred fifty to harry truman he reaches out to dwight eisenhower his hand was tossed away. this old. paternity that might have changed history prevented was saved countless

lives was lost because the truth of miles over true as was denied in the washington of the one nine hundred fifty s. . state department officials who had carried mao's messages were condemned done justly as communist traitors. everybody who knew my who spoke cheney's was gone in the one nine hundred fifty s. the state department had no employees who spoke chaney it's resulted in us not having relations with the number one most populous country in the world in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine this man deng's paying became china's paramount leda he said socialism does not mean shared poverty. this was code for the most radical reforms since miles revolution. the return

of capitalism to china but this time controlled by the communist party. to be riches glorious dane was reported as saying. america was now threatened by the emergence of a vast image of itself. this is one of the many very exclusive gated communities in shanghai where an apartment is one of the prizes of the new communism. i had a range to see professor zion way way a close aide to the late things out paying the man to change china. though in. really extremely. long term

visionary the leader always exceed the long turn strategic vision for his country for his people that chinese do you follow that path you know they're true this is really a tradition from china's long history you look at even like mon he said we should suppose you could. supply. so they could didn't used to this. actually or many chinese have problems with the western media is this theory of china if you. contend with fear of hypes you missed so many things in the if b.b.c. broadcast something they're happy to always mention this common is to dictatorship this autocracy not actually with this label you cannot understand this china as it is but if you watch b.b.c. c.n.n.

or read economist and try to understand china it will be a failure it's impossible. multiple parties fight for political power and everyone voting on them is the only path to salvation for the long suffering that's. a shanghai entrepreneur educated in america and typical of a new confident outspoken political class in china there are a lot of problems but at the moment the chinese the party state has. an extraordinary ability to change me i make the joke. in america you can change political parties but you can't change policies. in china you cannot change the party but you can change policies. so in a sixty five or sixty six years china is being run by one single party yet. the

political changes that have taken place in china in the past sixty six years have been wider and broader and greater than probably any other major country in modern memory so in that time china seems to be communist patrol so well china is a market economy and survivor a market economy but it is not a capitalist country here's why there is no way a group of billionaires could control the politburo. the owners control american policy making so in china you have a vibrant market economy but capital does not rise above political authority capital is not does not have in trying to rights in america capital the interest of capital and capital self has risen above the name of the

american nation the political authority cannot check the power of capital and that's why america is a catalyst country but china is not this is the ironic title of a bestselling book by zhang leisure a journalist and critic who lives in beijing. many americans imagine that the chinese people live miserable repressed her life these no freedom western ever that's not quite sure if you toss speak to many ordinary chinese people they will tell you that they feel that their life i quite free some five hundred million people being lifted off the poverty in some would say probably six hundred million people that's a great achievement. for many americans the yellow peril has never left and i think of the there's the fear about china of course there's the fear for

china's rapid rise but it's also has a lot to do. with china's their label as communists and states china subject of some modest compare where their weight they're not trying to run the world they're not even trying to run asia pacific i think they want to keep america from dominating the asia pacific so they have what they believe is their rightful place in asia pacific because alonso was asian long history in their size so their objectives are really modest compared with their capacity the world for new wealth in china and i often say this is this is the product of so far made entrepreneur school but is it not also the product of the exploitation of people at the bottom what are known in

china as migrants but they're not really migrants. if you really. go to port to this my woodworkers you will find quite surprisingly. over the past five to seven years they have experienced. greater increase there in the social groups china not a car society. but china is a class society. these are the homes of migrant workers people who build and service the new china. here it's not uncommon for three families to share one tiny flat. you know you would get

a socialist country wheezy quality but i'm fortunately since the reform has started china has become one of the most unequal societies in the words the income gap is widening governments i feel have retreated some of the responsibility left the markets to takeover by the market does not always treat women kindly. private companies they would just refuse to high and challenged bearing age women and sometimes when women become pregnant there was back then because they don't want to pay their matelote leave and in fact income gap has grown much bigger between men one and your old boss funk presided over the bloodshed and tears and square what would you say to the survivors of tiananmen square because so many of those did fight

for what very saw as democratic change in china. in one thousand eight hundred nine there were two political force one was those represented by the chinese students their hero was me how you gorbachev who happened to be a cheap one. slogan was. unions today charles two more so the idea was pretty good reform first other reform otherwise be hopeless and. opposite he saw. that he. must have economic. reform second this property must be set clear. if the frontline beckoning. with china we can't continue to allow china to rape our country and that's what they're doing there never have been two

countries more into dependent on each other then china and the us in history there's like a total disconnect with the changing world you have a giant rise in. this. why would you expect. more control over. what is the purpose i mean where are we going to stop this process before it starts. and then. i wish the world innovation summit for one community of two thousand health care

experts innovators and policymakers from one hundred countries. one experience sharing best practices and innovative ideas. one go hopefully a world through global collaboration. apply now to attend the twenty eighteen wish summit. hello there very active weather has been blowing its way across parts of australia recently this weather system here has been giving us gusts of wind around one hundred kilometers per hour not quite that bad now as it makes its way towards the east but still is dragging down the temperatures as it works its way across the us so look at the top temperature they sydney on saturday twenty nine degrees but if we fall forward to sunday only nineteen so look with us expect

a fair amount of cloud and a few outbreaks of rain around as well will also be a bit damp at times for us in melbourne towards the west we've got more in the way of cloud edging its way towards in perth no temperatures struggling a little bit as well only getting to around eighty if we head across towards new zealand lots of sunshine here there's just a little bit of cloud in the far south that's they could have to give us quite a few outbreaks of rain though it's still going to be with us as we head through the day on saturday further north and it does look like it should stay fine and dry even as we head through sunday with christchurch making it up to twenty degrees f. we head up towards japan also fine weather hit to the what's the weather is the way towards the east so for many of us it should stay dry getting a bit warmer force in tokyo as we head into sunday should make it to twenty two towards the west not quite that will mean beijing but still fairly respectable will be up at around ninety degrees. if think scribed of the wild west previously where the average person couldn't

touch and tell if a post had been sponsored on height or in some way does this updated nafta have the kind of support that he needs we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in counting the cost on al-jazeera. zero. hello i'm this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. we're going to have some injuries pretty quickly but i will have congress involved which president trump says congress will help to decide what to do if

saudi arabia is found to be involved in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi what seventeen days after the journalists went missing investigators of question turkish staff from the saudi consulate in istanbul. our other top story this hour at least sixty two dead off to a speeding train plows into people watching fireworks at a festival in india. and thousands of migrants heading for the u.s. ted out of all defense in guatemala and rush towards a bridge into mexico. and i'm far as small here with all the day's sporting including pockets on claim a series win over australia they did it with their biggest ever victory margin in a task match. welcome to the program our top story turkish staff working in the saudi consulate

in istanbul have been questioned over what happened to missing journalist jamal khashoggi turkish security sources have told al-jazeera the investigators listened to order recordings of his murder before entering the consulate which confirmed he was attacked by several people moments after he entered the consul's room or president trump is saying that congress will help decide what to do if saudi arabia is found to be involved in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. if congress is very much involved i will in this case make certain recommendations we have four hundred fifty billion dollars worth of things ordered from a very rich country so to arabia. six hundred thousand jobs maybe more than the. very very hurtful to this country if we said oh we're not going to sell it to you so there are other things we could do but i would certainly make that recommendation to congress but i would very much listen to what congress has to say

i went to saudi arabia first and a large part of the reason was they agreed to do this they agreed to spend four hundred fifty billion dollars on buying and investing in the united states so i hope we can keep that hope we don't lose track of that there are plenty of other things we could do but we're going to have some answers pretty quickly but i will have congress involved which i think is an important part of your question. could be could be going to find that we're going to find out who knew what when and where . well let's get the latest now from our correspondents in washington and istanbul first to patty culhane and passing what is the significance of president saying that congress should be involved in determining the next steps. well i think it's pretty clear he's reading the political tea leaves at first we saw the president very reluctant to criticize saudi arabia talking about what a great ally they were and several tweets he talked about was

a saudi arabian citizen but then we heard a huge backlash from congress don't forget they have just as much a say in this as the president they can offer sanctions if it's overwhelming the president won't have the power to override that they can block arms sales so we've seen republicans democrats come out some even as very close to the president lindsey graham has actually said there needs to be regime change in saudi arabia so the president reacting to what he's hearing from congress now what we just heard from the president i think it's important to point out he likes to talk about the economic benefits this four hundred fifty billion dollar number that's been floating around since he took that trip to saudi arabia literally no one has been able to nail down exactly where that figure comes from it's not clear that those deals are actually signed some of them were actually done underneath president barack obama so the president obviously is choosing to focus on the economic interests of the united states that is not where the u.s. congress is at at all and even now from his secretary of state by peo who went to

the region to try and address this issue he is saying that they're looking at a variety of options will certainly consider a wide range of potential responses but i think the important thing to do is that the facts come out when i travel to saudi arabia i met with the king with the crown prince a great length of it with foreign ministers there and i made very clear to them that the united states takes this matter very seriously that we don't approve of extra digital killings that we don't approve of that that kind of activity that is it's not something consistent with american values and that is their responsibility as this incident happened in their consulate is their responsibility get to the bottom of this. i think one thing that's important to remember for if you're not watching here in the united states is this story is not going away it is being driven by the papers of record the washington post workers as you work the new york times cable television even fox news is constantly covering the story really

setting the agenda that the president is not going to be allowed to just push past it still a lot of people are trying to figure out exactly where his mind is that it seemed bad for him but he had a rally in the west just yesterday and talked about a congressman who he applauded this congressman who actually body slammed to the ground a reporter for asking a question about health care before the election the president held him up as an example of a good bad this is a journalist being body slammed so the timing seemed a little bit inept but again everyone looking to see what the president's going to do and whether or not congress is going to have to force his hand if he doesn't. thank you very much for the latest from washington passy col hain i want to turn out to some of the latest developments coming out of the turkish investigation into what happened to jamal khashoggi to the security forces having told our jazeera that investigators listen to audio recordings of his motive before entering the consulate they base this on what they heard and found the exact location where he

was killed so says told al jazeera the recordings confirm the washington post writer was attacked by several people just moments after he and the consuls room they then say was immediately dismembered by a saudi forensics expert well andrew simmons is live from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and andrew we are getting some very detailed descriptions from turkish security forces about these recordings what are what a turkish security force is doing in terms of gathering evidence and pursuing this case. well the latest line from the prosecutor's office is the it's a viewing of fifteen norm's saudis stuff from the consulates that includes accountants technicians and at least warm dr possibly the consul general's dr

himself these investigations it's not clear whether they're reinterviewing them but they are sworn to testimony apparently whether or not they were prior to this it wouldn't be surprising in this into the best a geisha but it's certainly been taking place on friday there are twenty more stuff to be interviewed with informed that could be partly over the weekend a bit will certainly go into monday as far as the odio tape is because it's been made clear by to friday that it isn't going to be shared with any foreign nations including the united states until this inquiry is complete and they have some sort of result then they will share it with all that is the clear message from the turkish presidency government and all of its departments but of course the details are being leaked far and wide and they are gruesome and they get more detailed each time that leaked that's right and katie this puts

a great deal of pressure on the saudis to come out with ounces about what happened what about the tax. well the turks are not necessarily under the same pressure the just before i answer that question let's just get some recapping on on events because we have two totally separate investigations one by the saudi arabians which are indeed but taking place under the orders of salmond by all accounts who have dispatched his most trusted advisor prince khalid al faisal and the governor of mecca back on october the eleventh so that was more than a week ago just exactly what he's done in terms of his movements is unclear but certainly that changed the dynamic of events here even though the denials was still going on but there has been a shifting of the sounds evidently in the sense that there is more direction now being put on a separate investigation going on that is this separate investigation going on there and the dynamics of whether or not the crown prince is as much in control of

events as he was before but certainly that's a immense amount of pressure on that with that deadline being extended it would seem by the united states waiting to hear what the result is as far as the turks go there very likely it would seem to be announcing their results off to saudi arabia and took as officials a very clearly briefing people on officially that of course there is no crossover in any way between the two inquiries but in terms of results that seems to be some way to go although it's been made clear by the justice minister that as far as he's concerned it's going on very well a very successful very thorough d.n.a. samples being analyzed blood samples being analyzed but at the end of the day like any major homicide investigation and he has to be a body to be conclusive and of course in this case there isn't and it by all accounts it will be body parts they're looking for and that is

a mystery it would seem that doesn't seem to be the explanation for that and right now there is this a sense of. well a sense of expectation but also a rather surreal atmosphere here where everything two plates no doubt about it took place in the building behind me over the fifteen minute period and it was clear from this audiotape leaked the latest form that it was a matter of minutes before before we actually it's heard that they heard the screams apparently of this alleged murder taking place and khashoggi was dead within minutes with his wife to be waiting outside waiting in very four holes would. often out thank you very much with all the latest from istanbul andrew symonds. well now another quick update a spokesperson for the phonetics weeks investment forum in saudi arabia confirmed it will go ahead despite many business leaders and governments boycotting it over

the khashoggi case on of donald trump's closest allies the billionaire investor tom barrett is the latest high profile figure to drop out organizers say the event will have a revised program now including heads of state from the arab world africa and asia or roxanne firemen from yon is a politics and international studies electric cambridge university here in the u.k. she joins me in the studio so clearly a great deal of politics in diplomacy surrounding the khashoggi case are we ever likely to see definitive evidence made public on what happened and who was behind it we may not get definitive that's certainly a good question but i think we still are expecting quite a bit more it seems that there are several investigations taking place and the interesting element of that is that the saudi one has had a postponement of the deadline now obviously when secretary of state went to riyadh and put a deadline on the investigation part of the reasoning behind that would be to.
