1:01 pm
investigation is continuing but finally we have another detail regarding the investigation yesterday to police announce that they they found a locked and abandoned car in a parking lot in istanbul where saudi general consulate is and according to the police search there were some suitcases and in the trunk of this car as well as a kettle at the back seat and now they figured out that this car belongs to solve the consulate and it was it was actually used by a not such a who works in saudi general course late right now what we know was that the police is searching details and the prosecutor's office ordered to have some d.n.a. tests to see whether the d.n.a. samples on the clothes these which are in the luggage match with jim g.'s d.n.a. samples also we know that we know that there is
1:02 pm
a mask which in the car as well which is used for chemical tests but since the police report hasn't come up come out yet we don't know what that mask was used for but the car was actually spotted by the police the pending depending on the turkish citizens a call to a turkish newspaper that person called a turkish newspaper saying that there's a saudi consulate car inside this parking lot and a tissue always comes and parks there so this this is this is how things developed before the police found out about this car and this person spoke to the to shave according to the media reports in turkey. it with it actually in a joking way he asked whether democracy just by due was inside the luggage or not so is that the turkish citizen made such a joke to as well but this issue is that the mask is used for some chemical

1:04 pm
one who had known so again very damning words coming from the white house is the toughest we've seen in the almost three weeks ago that's been going on it's kind of a copout he really wants to sort of punt this to somebody else to deal with particularly knowing that there is a midterm election coming up this is not really a wedge issue that really resonates particularly with his base he'd much rather talk about the migrant caravan and other sort of domestic issues that are more pertinent to him and so i think he wants congress to come up with some ideas of course referring to the asking act in particular to the executive does put it in his court but in terms of you know whether or not they're going to stop arms sales that would of course require again passage through the congress last time around it was very very narrow they almost got it through so there may be indeed you know whether this story lasts a bit longer there may indeed be some take up but by congress but of course this is not something that trump wants to have on his agenda any more. he has length saudis

presence of a third saudi team that scouted a forest a day before he was killed but over all turkey's president was a politician he criticized saudi arabia for not fully cooperating with the investigation but was careful not to burn all bridges with riyadh. the people were expecting. what happened to the body of which was amounts of with the dismemberment of the body have been the video. recording these are all questions. but turkey says it has enough evidence to prove what it has been saying from the start that the murder was premeditated and planned after she visited the consulate for the first time on september twenty eight to sort out the paperwork for his marriage or the gun again highlighted the role of the fifteen men who arrived and left on private jets on the day of the killing new video of the team at istanbul airport has been released turkey security sources believe they carried out the
1:08 pm
assassination saudi arabia insists the killing was a mistake and the rogue operation even though among those identified as a member of saudi crown prince a security detail an autopsy expert saudi agent and a body double parted on may not have laid bare the naked truth about the crime but he did lay bare turkey's demands and the leverage it holds we have strong evidence he says and it's not enough to blame intelligence agents we need to hold to account those responsible from the top to bottom a political murder is how are gone described the killing in a political speech which stopped short of naming who he believes was responsible. the defacto ruler of saudi arabia have a good time and made a brief appearance at the investment conference in riyadh that he had hoped would boost his country's image instead the event was shunned by western leaders and business executives over the killing saudi arabia may be trying to send the message
1:09 pm
that it is business as usual but its isolation is growing and the crown prince's political future is also in question senator al jazeera istanbul. saudi arabian crown prince is due to speak at a major investment conference in riyadh later on wednesday dozens of high profile business leaders and politicians a boycott of the summit over the kingdom's involvement in. the killing has raised ethical questions among silicon valley's tech companies which have benefited from billions of dollars of saudi investment rob reynolds reports. in the aftermath of the killing of jamal khashoggi at the hands of saudi government agents tech companies and their executives are distancing themselves from saudi investment but how each one of them makes that decision on their own i think is probably driven very much by their own moral conscience but also their understanding that other people are looking at them in their formal leadership positions for cues about what
1:10 pm
to do right now several tech leaders have already bailed out of crown prince mohammed bin summons investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green a.o.l. founder steve case and guber c.e.o. darren shockey who said he was very troubled by reports of cars show g.'s death khosrowshahi as public comments were seen as significant because the saudi wealth fund holds a three and a half billion dollars stake in the right ailing app saudi arabia has also invested heavily in tesla motors door dash the work space company we work and others much of the saudi money is funneled through the japanese bank soft bank the world's largest investment fund so far saudi arabia has put forty five billion dollars into soft bank so-called vision fund and the crown prince says he'd like to double that
1:11 pm
amount as tech companies recoil from the saudis on ethical grounds it will be difficult if not financially impossible to unravel their saudi tie as a complex tangle of contract stock preferences and legal obligations tidy companies hands in such matters ordinarily companies and financial institutions follow the lead of their governments but president donald trump's response to the khashoggi killing has been tepid and vacillating leaving corporations to find their own way in some ways this. case is providing an opportunity for companies to really provide some ethical and moral leadership maybe at a time when they're not seeing or experiencing what they'd like to see from leadership in other sectors silicon valley corporations face a dilemma choosing between an ethical response to a shocking crime and the abundant funding that makes the tech industry flourish rob

1:26 pm
a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing yemen much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working lives our revised assessment the results of a new survey work an analysis is that the total number of people facing pre-fab in conditions meaning they're entirely reliant on external aid for survival could soon reach not eleven million but fourteen million that's hard for the total population of the country and hurricane wilma has crashed into mexico's western coast pass is weakening as it moves inland it's now a tropical storm but it's still drenching fessing villages and beach towns strong winds battered buildings in coastal towns where thousands of people moved to safety . say with all the headlines i'll be back with more news here on al-jazeera after
1:27 pm
the string. getting to the heart of the matter the three big challenges facing human crime in the twenty first century nuclear war climate change and technological disruption facing realities whatever is there to fear is not in me it is in the people of uganda hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. life on the streets of the u.k. is increasingly deadly according to an investigation into homelessness by a nonprofit news organization i'm femi oke a and i'm really good the report found that hundreds of homeless people died across the country over the last year or ask our panel what should be done to end the crisis send us your thoughts to twitter and our you tube chat.
1:28 pm
it's a death toll that shames the u.k. at least four hundred eighty four homeless people have died in the last year a damning report from the bureau of investigative journalism says the cases compiled by the bureau include individuals who died in shop doorways those who were killed in violent incidents and those who passed away and hospitals or hospitals without their members at their side. has risen dramatically across the united kingdom in recent years and there is little sign that it is slowing down in england and wales alone the number of people sleeping on the streets has doubled since twenty thirteen discuss the investigation on the urgency of the u.k.'s homelessness crisis we're joined from london by made them she is a journalist at the bureau of investigative journalism rock in port city of as waiter we have kevin farrow he is a social impact influencer at st mungo's and that's a homelessness charity based in london and in london we have poppy terry she's a public affairs manager at shelter a charity that campaigns to end homelessness and bad housing in england scotland
1:29 pm
and over what it's really good to have you. in the stream major i'm looking at this project dying homeless counting the deaths of homeless people cross the u.k. what's noticeable is what you do is not only keep count and you help by n.g.o.s and journalists and local reporters around the united kingdom but you also tell the stories as much as possible about how people died who they were what happened i can literally scroll through four hundred eighty four deaths so far which one standout year that makes for some really grim reading and we were really keen that we told those stories because these people aren't numbers you know every every person has loved ones have friends family that they've left behind and you know along the way on this project i went to funerals i met with family members of some of these people and so there's lots of them that really kind of stick out in my mind a woman called jane who died can stuff and i met her family talked to the daughters
1:30 pm
to mom and some cases there were people that that lay in tents hidden from people we saw and they were they were only identified through d.n.a. testing or dental records because their bodies had become so decomposed so it really is a litany of her afic and consequences. and before you started to count the deaths of homeless people nobody was doing that in a centralized way there was no well. yeah and that was so shocking this whole project started out around february or january earlier this year when there was a couple of high profile deaths including a man who died in a westminster just one hundred meters or so from the houses of parliament and that kind of set up question in my mind i wondered if this was getting worse or better what more people dying and i spent weeks really calling around corners offices and hospitals doctors the government local councils and everybody said oh no we don't
1:31 pm
count but i'm sure somebody else and we came to this our conclusion that nobody is counting these deaths so that's when the bureau of investigative journalism took it on itself to start. you know picking up on that and the fact that no one was counting we got this tweet here from czar she says until this investigation no official body in the u.k. collected data on the deaths of homeless people but now the office of national statistics will compile and publish official statistics on it great concrete impact their work which you should use the hash tag that your team is using to make them account made this seems like a victory but a bittersweet one at that the fact that they weren't being counted before and they weren't as hash tag indicates counted right so so from the start we hope that somebody would take up this challenge and do this work and it's great that the office for national statistics are going to do that because there's a huge deficit in evidence if we don't know how many people are dying how when
1:32 pm
they're dying how do we felt the problem but as you say the tragedy is that it's not going to sold anything it's not going to stop people dying now we know how many people are dying and how and when it's up to the rest of us to think is the solution to make sure that not a single other person dies homeless in the u.k. kevin i'm just wondering if authorities are saying we don't count on the media saying we don't care about homeless people dying what about them so much about where they. stuff the aace. in model when in london. there's a lot of there's a lot of people that are shooting and then. they're given somewhere to stay but that's just when the problem really stops that when you've got to really have the resources and this and. the stop at the front line who are going to be able to help people make the transition from the streets the four hundred ninety four that made
1:33 pm
me feel that's just a rough estimate i'm sure there's more in our aspects to the way people have passed away and it's about time that. things were highlighted and. to say that it was. shocking actually was going on and not just london in spreading out of course. in england the evidence you know everything is you know just. yeah these figures definitely aren't underestimate you know we had kind of jigsaw pieces together and that's because as you said the systems in place are really fractured often people aren't talking to each other and that is a problem when it comes to data but more importantly it's a problem when it comes to actual services and people that might be trying to move around getting along and help report on services about so many people i mean let's be honest about it that's only cut. over to withdraw one
1:34 pm
stop you are in a position to help people who want an investment on the street that so many people when they're not back on the street the support is not in place and they pull back on. substance misuse if you you know been on common or not so kevin and talk about it kevin and poppy and maybe if i want to show you a couple of clips from stories that we found on the streets of london we asked our al-jazeera producer one of al-jazeera princes in london would you go out and talk to some people who are living rough living on the streets and they did this on monday and came back with some remarkable stories i'm going to share these with us we have a conversation so that we're actually featuring the voices of people that we're talking about kevin i know you have this experience but these are people who have no home right now let's start with barry. who for the very first time when i was a producer met them had spent his very first night on the streets and he'd never
