a recordings related to the killing with saudi arabia the us france germany and the u.k. . it's the first time turkey has officially acknowledged the existence of recordings related to the murder of journalist. at the saudi consulate in istanbul last month and the timing could not have been more telling just before stepping on a flight to paris president. with field has shared the recordings with the u.s. saudi arabia friends germany and the u.k. it was a move designed to put further pressure on the international community and the u.s. in particular to take concrete action against syria and these we have given the recordings to saudi arabia the americans the british the germans to everyone they've listened to the conversations on those recordings they know what's being said there's no point in distorting this fact amongst the fifteen they know who the
8:51 am
murderer is or the murderers are and the saudi arabian administration can succeed in bringing this to light by making the fifteen speak. the turkish president did not say exactly what was the recordings but accuse the saudis of stalling the investigation and called on the kingdom to identify these killers. announcement we not have gone unnoticed as leaders gather to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war us president donald trump and french president eman well micron had their own agenda to deal with trying to overcome differences about european defense spending but the journalist death was not ignored they agreed saudi arabia must provide more details about his murder. a former saudi spy chief says the kingdom would never agree to an international

8:59 am
outbreak it's an unstable area and there is some violence and really just a lot of instability in the area and it's extremely challenging for the political and the public health workers to ensure proper access and timely access to medical care for people who have an infection or a possible infection and also to protect close contacts of people who are infected with ebola virus so there's several challenges as to what is the worst outbreak so far heavy rain has led to flash flooding across the arabian peninsula jordan has been worst hit with twelve people have died tourists in the ancient city of petra had to move to some food and reports. the deluge came barreling down the valley with a thunderous roar sweeping away everything in its path. visitors expecting the serenity of petra's two thousand year old architecture had to scramble frantically to higher ground as the water raged beneath them around three and
