6:03 am
been an elaborate assassination plan this is some of the latest information to be released by turkish officials who on monday vowed to go off to all those behind trees murder and the approach of the president from the beginning has been extremely clear nothing considering this incident remains a secret and legally the issue will be investigated until the end game and responsibility is to enlighten this incident in all its parts it's out of the question to escape from this president. is expected to speak on tuesday revealing all the details of what his party described as a monstrous operation. we're faced with a situation in which was a brutally planted killing in efforts were made to cover it up when you look at it through this frame it's a very complicated murder the republic of turkey is an extremely trustworthy country it's a confident country it's a country that is working to back each allegation with a legal argument and legal evidence on monday police located

a car registered to the saudi diplomatic mission hidden in a parking lot in istanbul they say c.c.t.v. footage shows another vehicle had followed it into the car park and then was loaded with objects from the diplomatic vehicle footage released to buy turkish media of papers and documents being burnt in the garden of the consulates the day off their trip to was killed further suspicious activity by saudi officials who have feigned innocence from the starts. the release of this latest information by or for it is here across even more doubt on the saudi narrative that the killing of jamal khashoggi was a mistake by rogue elements everything released by turkey so far would indicate that this was a well thought out plan ordered by the kingdom's most senior leadership where the president will prove this on tuesday is yet to be seen. istanbul. is tracking all of these developments for us he joins us live from istanbul so saying that from claims of video of the moment of death to all you recordings
6:05 am
expectations are very high ahead of the one speech right. well yes expectations are high it's being seen as a turning point because since the disappearance of she on october the second or gone really has been a diplomat choosing his words carefully not using strong language not blaming anyone or pointing the finger at anyone and referring the case really to the prosecutor but now it seems he wants to reveal details to the world in his words the naked truth a few hours ago his spokesperson ibrahim carlin reiterating that the president will not be hiding any details but the question is how much evidence will or the gun put on the table and the arrival of the cia chief to istanbul coinciding with that speech and trumps words really we have to bear in mind trumps words that we will
6:06 am
know more in the next day or two so will these meetings with the cia official in any way delay announcement of more details what is very clear is what turkey believes happened inside that consulate when she entered that building he was killed by a group of fifteen saudi men who came to istanbul on a mission and it was premeditated murder it was planned and they also believe that that muhammad bin salmen the crown prince of saudi arabia who actually runs the country had a hand there had a role and in their leaks in the videos that they have shared with the world they showed that connection that one of the men on the team for example is a personal bodyguard he's a part of part of mohamed bin so men security detail so we have to wait to see what our guard has to say but my colleague andrew simmons analyzes what happened on the last day of his life.
6:07 am
it started here at a took international airport in the early hours of october the second the sequence of events that led to the death of jamal khashoggi based on the leaked video surveillance this is the top of my. at three twenty eight one of two private jets on the runway is picked out by investigators transfer vehicles take their passengers to the private jet terminal. at three thirty seven it's the first sighting of one half of the team from saudi arabia it's now four twenty nine they're leaving the airport the processing is taken nearly an hour just over thirty minutes later at five o five part of the team arrives here at the most a big hotel i trip is seen on the fourth of this lift it isn't until nine forty that he's seen again leading the team fifteen minutes later my friend arrives here at the saudi arabia consulate he goes inside the treatment other members of the
6:08 am
team including salah mohammed al to buy an autopsy expert make preparations their target jamal khashoggi approaches more than three hours later with his fiance at t.j. it's thirteen thirteen they agree that if anything goes wrong she should hold her to a trusted contact a turkish government official it's the last one t.j. sees of her fiance as he walks into a trap at thirteen fourteen inside the turkish and saudi versions of events conflict gruesome accounts of torture and alleged murder in transcripts leaked from an audio recording held by the turks and seventeen days after what happens here the saudis say the team were acting with no orders from mohammed bin salim on the saudi crown prince. was killed in adversity they said when he was restrained in real time his fiance was waiting anxiously outside at seventeen thirty three she had
6:09 am
made the call for help but it was too late. the man who had risked his life to get a document proving his marital status allowing his wedding to go ahead was dead although confirmation was to take another seventeen days it could have been a script from a hollywood movie set but in real time a trauma is beginning to play out for her. and turkish intelligence and security agents start to race against the clock. once alerted undercover agents rushed here to ataturk hall one of the planes is searched and baggage checked between one hundred fifty seven and twenty eleven at least some of the team is seen leaving hotels in small groups of twenty one hundred this is the second of the private jets is preparing for takeoff it's a timeline that lasted nearly eighteen hours that day jamal khashoggi who dared to
6:10 am
criticize the rule of mohammed bin sound is declared missing but he's really dead the only thing that is missing is his body. and zain just to bring us up to speed with some other lines we know that the head of the cia is heading towards turkey to have any ideas of the message she'll be hearing from turkish officials. well turkish officials are going to explain to the cia chief that they do not believe this saudi narrative that she died as a result of a fistfight turkish official security sources and the turkish media the government media they've all made it very very clear that they believe this was a planned operation the latest leak today showing that one of the men and this fifteen man group he was a body double a decor he was used he actually wore she's clothes he left the consulate building
6:11 am
from the back and he went to downtown istanbul he he changed his clothes in a public bathroom so the question really is why you do need a double in a team if you are not planning to kill him and why do you need a forensic expert on that team now it seems that the turkish authorities could have other evidence that they are not showing the world and maybe that is what they're going to show the u.s. administration to convince it really to take a tougher stance against mohamed bin sound man because the feeling here is that muhammad has been summoned the crown prince of saudi arabia was responsible for this murder he ordered this murder and by firing five officials who are close to him really is just not enough all right thanks so much zain to hold of all we can continue talking about this because we can go over now to mike hanna he's live for us in washington d.c. first of all mike let's continue on this issue of the cia's going out there do we know from the american perspective what exactly is the mission of the head of the
6:12 am
cia in turkey at this point. well no information whatsoever that the cia has declined to even discuss the travel arrangements as usual when these head of the cia travels abroad president trump did say earlier he said in his best intelligence officials they'll report back to him in the next twenty four hours as full information so one would imagine that you know how current is going to be briefed by her turkish counterparts that she'll come back and give a full report to president trump president trump himself saying he really wants to get to the bottom of the seas not satisfied with saudi explanations but at the same time he's come out with another statement saying that perhaps it is a plot to gone or ride this implying that this was not a premeditated killing but some kind of mistake that happened it's a point that president trump has been pushing on a number of occasions he's also reiterated in the course of the day that he does
6:13 am
not believe that the crown prince is responsible he's waiting for the investigation another reiteration he does not want any economic sanctions to be put in place he says there are other sanctions that can be should have proved necessary so president trump has been preparing throughout but now the latest statement he comes out with is talking about a plot gone or rise semi thanks so much mike hanna there as mike's been pointing out on trump has been talking to us media outlets saying he's not exactly satisfied with the accounts of what happened to jim. particle hey now. u.s. president donald trump hitting the campaign trail again he wants to talk about the upcoming election but. the questions keep coming back to this one what is the u.s. going to do after saudi arabia admitted to killing american resident and washington journalist jamal khashoggi the president making news announcing u.s.
6:14 am
investigators are on the case over your. great group of people in turkey right now what a great the people in saudi arabia are coming back tonight far and i will not marry i am not satisfied with whatever but he continued to stress the most important thing to him investment from saudi arabia even though he has grossly inflated the actual amounts his son in law and senior adviser jared kushner is also talking he's staked much of his work in the middle east on his close relationship with the crown prince mohammed bin so man he says coup shows he's killing seems to be a terrible situation but stressed other factors are important as well once we have all the facts then will make an assessment but again i think that our administration has made a lot of gains in our fight against terrorism we have to deal with the long term ideology. of extremism and saudi arabia is
6:15 am
a critical partner in that at the same time the trump administration sending messages of support with this meeting a picture tweeted out from the saudi foreign ministry of the u.s. treasury secretary steve minutia and meeting with the prince in the kingdom un day mixed messages and a sense of hesitation from the u.s. but the pressure is unrelenting this has stayed in the headlines and a member of the royal princes security team of saudi arabian officials changing their story about the fate of washington post journalist jamal khashoggi there are major developments also in the case i think is the longest the saudis continue to offer different explanations different. stories as to what happened i think this story will continue to have a way because there is no concrete answers that we're getting a relationship that will be put to the test in a short amount of time the president promising answers soon but action is less certain pedicle al-jazeera washington well they handle mohamed bin saddam and
6:16 am
social media and now so that a hostile army one of the most powerful men in the saudi crown prince is in a circle appears to be implicated in the killing of jamal khashoggi reuters news agency says danny was beamed into a room of the saudi consulate on skype very hurled insults g. and at one point all it is murder though danny was removed from his post as the advisor to the royal court to contain the fallout over who should g.'s death his ties to the crown prince are widely known he once tweeted he wouldn't do anything without his boss's approval or this includes leading an interrogation of lebanon's prime minister saad hariri and the arrest of hundreds of saudi elites before two year old has a reputation for cracking down on voices critical of the kingdom and the crown prince online. me is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he says the video evidence of saudi crown prince his top aide
6:17 am
will implicate hamad in selma and in the killing of jamal khashoggi. well i think a lot of it has to revolve revolves around exactly how jamal khashoggi was murdered the saudi narrative is that it was a brawl he died in a stranglehold and they sort of gave the body to a local collaborator the leaks from the turkish intelligence services suggested that he was killed very early after entering the consulate and then his body was dismembered so any evidence that suggests that the turkish narrative is the one that holds up and can be proven specifically with respect to this forensic expert who is an expert in autopsy and came to stumble with a bone saw anything along those lines that speaks to exactly how jamal was killed i think well you know determine which side has the stronger claim and it will shape events moving forward well the timing is basically. and the ss of the saudi crown
6:18 am
prince his right hand man and his enforcer he's widely known to be the equivalent of a stephen bannon type figure within the inner circle of the saudi crown prince so the reuters report suggests that the skype. call that was made from assad into the interrogation room was picked up by turkish intelligence services and that's now in the hands of the turkish president so if the turkish president tomorrow reveals that. audiotape then i think it will directly implicate the saudi crown prince. well still ahead on al-jazeera connecting the chinese mainland with hong kong the world's longest sea crossing bridge opens.
