12:02 pm
they killed in the meantime the head of the cia has landed in tech eugene a hospital is looking for more information to give to the white house as donald trump's latest comments put the killing down to a plot a wry well this story keeps moving we've got just standing by for us in on the bull and jamal we're expecting him to make his statement any minute now it's appalling that we can see the whole at policy gathered a lot of people watching very closely indeed. and did i mean everybody will be waiting to see exactly the not only the content of what's original taber one speech will entail but also the language he chooses to use and more importantly essentially the fingers he chooses to point toward are what he chooses to point his fingers towards or even whom rather he chooses to point his
12:03 pm
fingers towards ultimately what's has been taking place over the past three weeks ago or has been this gradual putting together of the puzzle of what happens with jamal official g after he entered the building behind me through those doors when he was going to get some paperwork so he could get married to his fiance who waited for him outside for hours went by and she didn't appear she called the authorities and then what started off with a saudi denial saying they don't know where he is what's happened to him and did up with them over two weeks later finally saying yes and then missing he was killed inside but only after turkish investigators led by the attorney general's office started releasing. evidence or information as and when they wanted to in order to ensure that the narrative that they feel is the correct one was being put forward that narrative is that fifteen special forces agents many of them were several of
12:04 pm
them rather very close to the crown prince mohammed bin sultan bin son man was sent were sent to istanbul to assassinate him out especially the saudis now say well no they were sent to convince him negotiates they say for him to return so riad and that's when it's wrong and he died of suffocation obviously with the latest information or coming just less than twenty four hours before our divines key speech here on tuesday of this body double that was specifically flown in from riyadh looking like jamal which exceed where in his clothes just minutes after he was allegedly dismembered and killed. told in order to fool the police into thinking that he had left together with so much more evidence as well the flying of an autopsy expert somebody who specializes in cutting up bodies all of that information would point to the fact that this was a preplanned what they described as a monstrous leap planned operation one of the technician officials put it so what
12:05 pm
we're waiting for even though we've got all this information people will say well you know it's hard he's been given all this information what a more canard i want to add well firstly he needs to take ownership of this all of this information has been coming up through unnamed officials through unnamed sources people been speaking on condition of anonymity till now we don't know what about these all your recordings that they've been telling us exists we know what the contents of them purportedly entailed but we don't know what's how that's how it's managed to get it's how much does it show there was talk of video evidence is this the case president had once said he will reveal the naked truth well let's see how naked it's going to be because there are a lot of things riding on this is not just the justice for jamal khashoggi it's not just about freedom of press it's not just about human rights not just about international relations in the vienna convention that stipulates what these diplomatic missions should be used for it's also about the economy you've got the future investment conference in saudi arabia that's kicked off today that was seen
12:06 pm
dozens of people pull out from richard branson to other billionaires as well as the treasury secretary in the united kingdom the i.m.f. chief and so forth it's also about donald trump and his relationship with mohamed bin son man that he's invested heavily and it's got so many other things riding on as we've seen germany saying it's suspending its weapons sales there so all of this could very well hidden john what president one sees if he comes out and explicitly shows that crown prince mohammed bin solomon ordered this or at least maybe exposes the hierarchy in the saudi royal family that it really could have huge ramifications or if he comes out and plays it down and maybe does. not necessarily reveal everything then you could also be accused of being an accessory to the murder of this journalist so a lot of people around the world who are waiting to see what the president of turkey is about his story. and all of this so we're waiting for to come actually we're just seeing pictures now of him walking out into the parliament jamal he's
12:07 pm
taking his time overseas waving to. parliament and just while we're waiting for him to take the podium. he's delayed by margin of about half an hour or so. give us a brief answer that just about the cia director arriving in turkey almost the same time that he said he's going to make these revelations. of course it was an unexpected or at least unannounced visit before people are reading into that is this an attempt by the white house and the u.s. administration maybe to convince the tyrants not to reveal everything because it could implicate because of the close relationship between. son in law and advisors whether it's trump himself or is this maybe the americans coming to say well let's see what other evidence you have because remember secretary of state
12:08 pm
powell said he didn't see it's obviously for politicians if they do see is that incriminate them in the sense that they are forced legally to take action whereas intelligence officials are always exposed to this information is going to have necessarily political scrutiny if they've seen something they don't need to have that deniability the politicians have so i mean this is all speculation as to why she's arrived in ankara but everybody obviously has their own reading but it just shows you how sensitive this case is how the case of one journalist essentially has shaken to look for international diplomacy has shaken to the poor the monarchy in saudi arabia has shaken to the core of the white house his relationship with what many would say are. really is coming to a crescendo now with what the president is expected to say and as you say you know you're viewing those pictures he is going to you know enjoy the welcome that usually gets from his supporters bearing in mind that what he sees here will also
12:09 pm
he will have in the back of his head his own popularity also. popularity in the region has always hinged on being different has always hinged on trying to support the underdog has always enjoyed on supporting what he claims are just causes and this is by far one of the most clear cut black and whites just causes a journalist being lured into a diplomatic mission butchered essentially by secret agents of an absolute monarchy so if he does want to maybe increase his stock he will come out maybe no holds barred but like i say it's not just about his popularity there's so many other things writing absolutely and one of those things might potentially. leverage a saudi in this incident. indeed i mean obviously there is that unspoken rivalry of leaving the phony muslim world between turkey and saudi arabia there is that's called relationship between crown prince. and president that
12:10 pm
those close within the circles know about we'll see whether he makes that reference the remnants of the crown prince in those speeches but bear in mind that the turkish economy obviously also is in need of a he might be. in the back of his head i feel i think he's got about the top. let's let's turn back to an anchor inside the parliament when you see the turkish president with jet tire taking the podium that addressing part. that's less than complimentary. piers members of the parliament. and my dear guests. i'd like to greet you. to this meeting from the bottom of my heart. group meeting what. is very important for our country and for our party and i hope this meeting you

12:19 pm
family. his country man and also because the media. i hope he can rest in peace but first of all i'd like to refresh your memory is a little bit on this first of all. first. on friday on the twenty eighth of september eleventh. he arrived at the su the b.s. you stumble consul general. for him to sort out this is mary's paperwork so . and it seems to me that at that time. they started the plan they started to throw a road map for his murder that from that time on and some of the oafish of consulate. had left turkey and how to live and to vent to.
12:20 pm
this also indicates that they went. to complete the planned work. plan murder of. democratic gestures so at. sixteen thirty. three people came as scheduled flights they settle in their hotel and then they go through a consulate general of sa that i began to stumble and and also some people. go and. have a look around in belgrade forestry and yellow up and another team of three people they came to stumble with another is. scheduled flight and and nine people. team of nine people came to turkey in a private jet and they go through and other hotels and they make the. team of
12:21 pm
fifteen people all together and. between nine fifty and eleven o'clock on that morning they come and meet in the consulate general spin inside the building so so first of all they take out the hard disk in the consul consulate general and in the meantime they receive they make a telephone call. at eleven fifty for him to come in for his appointment for the paperwork that he wanted to sort out so. so. at thirteen zero eight. democratic the antics the consulate building of course is fiance is with him. but from that moment on there was no news from him anymore in india every indian at the seventeenth.
12:22 pm
his fiance informs the author of peace in in istanbul that he's. had been. might have been detained in the consul general so you can see it makes him say makes an application to the authorities in istanbul and following this the investigation begins. and. one day check the security cameras then it will it become definite that. you did not leave the consulate consulate so because of diplomatic immunity. we couldn't do anything initially to go into the building this now has become a metaphor a discussion. so and what kind of. steps can host country can take in similar situations to for the future this is going to
12:23 pm
be discussed there and i separate on a separate as a separate matter. intelligence units have also come into scene and they started to investigate by this matter vitally together with the chief prosecutor's office in istanbul so that the part of the investigation. is gone we seem to have found her that is from the next day off the murder that. fifteen saudi security personnel and forensic personnel. have came to turkey from from some how that idea. and some of them on the some of them. some of them it left later in the afternoon after at twenty two fifty the fifteen. fifteen people who left turkey in the same day with different planes so.
12:24 pm
also. who appeared to. look like. in the same night he left turkey and went back to. back to saudi arabia. so. so everyone who was in the car council might have been responsible for the murder of john mark karr was let out from the building for them to leave the country so first of all as you as your nose how the authorities have rejected the idea of to be murdered so. on the sixth of october the consul general in white at the reuters. reporter and showed. shot inside the consul. as he was making fun of the right to represent he was opening the cupboard and showing him look he is not here he's not there he's got
12:25 pm
he's not here basically so so. the prosecutor continued a diverge and extended their work and. the longer they were the more evidence they found. out in terry i mean history has been in touch with the prosecutors as well constantly and also. eleventh of. oktober. team of. came. into our country to carry out a joint investigation on this matter but. ultimately the team that arrived from the on the eleventh of four. day said that. to go into the consulate of course we had to had we had a certain questions and we needed to search for the answers to those questions of
12:26 pm
course as you all know this incident had taken place in stumbled and we are the. people in authority so we have the right to ask and find out the answers to these questions that we had so and. of course this procedure. extended indeed has of course these are tracked at the attention of other countries around the world and we have clearly said that we are not going to let this. silently and we are not going to accuse. and anybody unnecessarily so that's why we have waited patiently to see what our investigations what forensic experts find out as a result of their medication so. i had a telephone conversation with. king solomon of saudi arabia and i told them but
12:27 pm
what we have found and and the. indications that are available i also with him expressed. decision to have a joint team to work together and i spoke about that one i received the saudi delegation send by the king of saudi arabia to turkey you know the consular general of saudi arabia has an accepted that and i have to say that these council is not. very well qualified to be having a proper way in these situations and i have said that the king solomon even abdul aziz during
12:28 pm
a phone call one day later the counselor was. has left his job and went back to saudi arabia. on the third of october. in the building of the consulate and investigation a second place and other nineteenth which means seventy's day seventeen days after the crime that has been committed or the counsellor and then saudi arabia has confirmed officially that demand control jazz been killed and the building of the consulate. he was killed said after a brawl in the building of the counsellor and at the same time we. spoke to king salamander been obliged he is as i said
12:29 pm
but this time another phone call and eighteen people suspected people have been arrested to be involved in this case. eighteen people on the list and we've found fifteen of these people came to his term and three are working in the consulate these development where very important because they. confirmed the cry in saudi arabia has said that i also had a phone call with the american president you donald trump on the twenty first of october and we have agreed to work to exceed the efforts and to know the consequences of this crime and this issue we have had menaced
12:30 pm
this period who are doing to the seriousness of the country and according to the international principle as an international lows and according to the turkish lows we have been target on other media outlets and we know those who wear. the high in these media campaign but whatever they have done we will go on with our efforts to find the facts no one will prevent us from fire due to the fact a killing quiet. this. being in the consulate building that is considered saudia turn first but let's not forget that this building is within the borders of turkey there are problems of turkey.
12:31 pm
agreement and they international laws. never. allow. such a climbs and never prevent investigations in a second a stance or. merely. things so in this regard we will do our work we will continue to geisha and we need not to forget that. saudi citizen is an international. known journalist and he is well known everywhere. and this is another thing that this is sedates attention to this. in turkey we will follow up this
12:32 pm
case because it's a spiritual case human case and the world is quiet tend to stay in this case up to the moment the evidence. that has been brutally killed and these brutality. will harm and hurt the human conscience. in a severe way. you know members let me tell you that the saudi authorities have taken an important step in. confirming the cry and the killing and now we are asking saudi authorities to work hard to reveal the names of those in the involved from bottle. to stealing because everyone has to be known
12:33 pm
to be involved in such a client this client has been planned and we have evidence that confirm that these crime has been planned according to the information that we have there are also questions that is in every mind. why those fifteen people gather their news time brooding on the day. where they have committed the crime we need an answer to this question. and. why have they came to istanbul but according to instructions given to them by whom we need to know why they have all put in the consulate for an investigation and start an enter org asian.
