restart the the idea that matthew hedges was a spy was complete rubbish. and that the charges against him were completely made up you know i mean whenever someone's arrest in a country let's say russia and accused of spying and they are a spy the british don't ever deny it's an plainly this man was of an academic he was a derm university in the north of england got over there to do some academic research quite openly been asking questions about what he was doing and it appears the british view is at least as somebody probably in the middle of government somewhere with with a grudge for and no better reason than that decided to make an example out of him and to be jailed for life for the moment's notice in what appears to have been a kangaroo courts. the british government extremely substantially and so they put very great diplomatic pressure on the u.a.e. using the strongest language capability that diplomats can use to say to them you need to do something about this and what i think the u.a.e. have done to try to make the best out of it because obviously they realize that

coming up in the next sixty minutes. a search is under way at one hundred kilometers outside. investigation a presidential pardon in the united arab emirates the british student sentenced to life in prison for spying is free. rising tensions in the black sea to russia. naval boats near crimea. of south america. hello welcome to the news hour turkish police investigating the murder of.
6:50 pm
searching. one hundred kilometers outside of istanbul the remains of the saudi journalist haven't been found since he was killed in the saudi consulates last month joining us from just outside the saudi consulate in istanbul where she was killed what's led investigators to search these two. it's not in the seams that the turkish security authorities have found a new indications or clues that led them to go back to that area we understand that right after the killing of them out on a cobra second they went to three areas areas two of them in istanbul and one in that area in yellow which is south of istanbul about one hundred kilometers as you said and it's on the sea of marmara so they had indications that time that. there are connections between a man who was who lives there and who had received
6:51 pm
a phone call on october first from a saudi official from istanbul here. we have conflicting reports on whether the farm and the village that has been searched today one of the two villas belongs to a saudi prince or it belongs to a man a turkish man who is clues a close friend to a saudi prince in any case they went to there and they say they have never abandoned the search for the body of an amount. even though the saudis talked about dissecting or cutting it to pieces and it seems like also they had some indications talked about that probably some parts of the body well smuggled to saudi arabia inside those diplomatic bags and also reports later not confirmed that the body has been dissolved with acids and chemicals we don't know the place where that has been done they searched the consulate house here during the last several weeks they were not given the permission to do a thorough search there were not allowed to search inside
6:52 pm
a well because even though they had you know they were they had suspicions that probably the dissolved parts of the body might have been dumped inside the world so they returned to this area today yellow with probably more indications fresh indications or clues that they might find something there so the possibility of finding. these remains that mohamed provides critical information about how he was killed because so far the saudis and the turks have differed on the events leading up to his death. yes daryn in the terminology of criminal terminology they say if there is no body there is no crime even though that's not the case here because there is there is a an acknowledgment by the saudis that they have killed this man so that's that's a big piece of evidence and it's almost enough but the turks would like to. discover the body because they think it will give more indications about how it how
6:53 pm
do you how the man was killed and you know that but the information you know that we received the information the saudis already gave that his body was cut into pieces makes it very difficult very unlikely to find the body intact also the time that has elapsed since the med makes it very difficult to find an intact body or a body that is in a situation where you can you can know more or a lot about how he was killed or that the turks however are not abandoning this search and they think that any any clues or any parts of the body they will discover will help them either know how he was killed or also know who actually participated in this crime because saudis talked about a local collaborator they failed to produce his name and his address and his identity and after seven weeks they came up with a report talking about a minute he can looting drawing of a likeness of this man without an aim without any address the text think this is
6:54 pm
not enough and the foreign minister today talked about this and he talked again about the failure of the saudis to collaborate and to give the answer to those questions including who. who collaborated with the saudis who was given this body or parts of this body to dump inside turkey to hide and much more about about how the whole thing was conducted i mean the techs are very critical very very unhappy with how the saudis have been collaborating with them in this respect all right tom how much of our reporting from istanbul thank you. well saudi arabia's crown prince is due in egypt as part of his first foreign tour since the murder of journalist showbizzy mohamed bin sandman met the king of bahrain on sunday journalists into newseum meanwhile are demonstrating against bin said a man's planned arrival on shoes they activists have started a legal challenge to stop his visit because of their revulsion she's killing also
6:55 pm
a leading member of the u.s. congress is accusing donald trump of this on a c over his response to these murder and he says the president's links and loyalties to saudi arabia need to be investigated alan fischer reports from washington d.c. . the u.s. president received his intelligence report into the killing of jamal khashoggi and he's rejected the idea it firmly says the saudi crown prince ordered your permission maybe. maybe. donald trump says he's standing by saudi arabia a country he believes will help with his action against iran and could help sell a middle east peace deal to the palestinians he's also talked about the arms sales agreed with saudi arabia as important to the u.s. economy even though numerous sources dispute the value in terms of dollars and jobs but the man who will lead the house of representatives intelligence committee in january democrat adam schiff today says he's seen intelligence reports too early and the answer is more definitive the president is not being honest with the country about the murder of democracy. i think in part he feels that by saying
6:56 pm
