on a large villa near the town of yellow over an hour's drive south of istanbul the forty strong team including police with sniffer dogs security forces and forensic investigators spent all monday at the villa which is said to be owned by a rich saudi businessman turkish media reported that he has links to crown prince mohammed bin sandman portraits of the saudi king and crown prince could be seen hanging in the hallway. turkish investigators were acting on phone records of calls made from the saudi consulate in istanbul before jamal khashoggi was murdered one is said to have been made to the villa by a saudi national he's been named as left tenant colonel mansoor off man abu hussein was a member of the so-called hit squad which carried out the killing it's thought that colonel abu hussein is in the saudi civil defense force and to serve the crown prince the turkish prosecutor has issued a statement saying the call was made a day before the killing and it was to discuss either how to hide or destroy this

because saudis body. the search included the surrounding area and a neighboring villa which is also owned by a saudi national neither of the owners was present fire services drained two wells before the forensic team took away samples. the two main theories about what happened to mr saudi's body either it was dismembered and dissolved in acid in the consulate or his remains were taken away in black suitcases purchased by saudi officials on the morning of the murder they were then either disposed of in turkey or flown to saudi arabia under diplomatic privilege only the killers know the answer and they are in saudi arabia if this search fails to produce any significant evidence about the whereabouts of mystical saudis body it's difficult to see where this investigation goes from here without meaningful saudi cooperation which for some reason it still refusing to give. him i think human there are us in the queue much saudi authorities are investigating with the perpetrators of the crime and

they must hundred more to us so that we can investigate them ourselves and know who the local collaborators or collaborators are and who gave the orders to carry out the crimes since all these questions are still unanswered calls from around the world and international organizations are getting louder to open an international investigation into this crime that saudi arabia. mohamed bin salman though i'm moving on doing business and seeing friends the crown prince the man thought by turkish and u.s. security services to be in the want to order the killing is in egypt it's his first foreign trip since the murder of jamal khashoggi and the question being asked is if he wasn't the architect of this killing then why is he not finding out who was tony berkley al-jazeera yell over turkey let's get more now on this from c.n.n. kosovo in ankara so soon in just remind there so what do we know about the man mentioned here about the links between these villas and the investigation into the

death of jamal the shanty. well barbara each day as evidence comes up there are so many names the case gets more complicated but also there is more light shed on the case so let mason who that months or her son that tony mentions is in months or months or a small number his son is a sadder consulate employee or also an officer working for saudi intelligence agency he's named to be one of the prime suspects of this murder in the investigation as turkish prosecutors have framed him in the investigation he's known to be a he was reported to have traveled to riyadh seventy two hours before jamal just skilling and according to the. according to the passport records he returned to his stumble one day before jim after she too was killed and he went back to riyadh at nine forty five pm on the day jamal has shipped to was killed by

the saudi hit men also the police according to the investigation report as the police have identified he is known to have exchanged some voice messages on whatsapp with modern military bands out there catherine of these two names are also very close people to the crown prince mohamed bin salman known to be and then to raj so let me come to the relation between mansour all smart and all know all of this will live in a yellow over as soon as monsoreau small arrives in istanbul one day before jamal is murder the police says that he has he had a lot of phone traffic while the lot of phone calls with the employees of mohamed. who is the owner of this real life he is a very famous businessman comes from a very big family also the prosecutors press statements today reported that

they had a contact one day before the killing and the company and mohamed el full sun. is known to have a company established in turkey in two thousand and sixteen late two thousand and sixteen which has been it active in financial records which means it was an empty company also we reached out to people who worked for him who worked for alpha zones company we are told that all saudi employees left turkey after jim marcus shipped to was murdered also another employee you employee was also known to have lacked for realit they all turned off all the all the mobile phones they cancelled all the same cars so it seems they don't want to leave any trace behind and they don't want to leave any people behind who have contacted monsoreau smarm cynicus over the latest from ankara cinemas think you. still to come here on the program she's formed an agreement with the european union but can the british prime minister to

half an hour do stay without is iraq coming up next it's the stream thanks for watching. ok and you know in the stream today we continue our series on the digitals view so what does an indigenous superhero actually look like why does that representation matter i really could be allowed there is a lot to discuss today and i'll be looking out for your comments and your questions online to meet us at a day stream or join our you tube chop. in

the director of the american indian market university of colorado in your industry . indigenous representation in mainstream popular culture usually relegated to subplots mistakes or shamans making a brief appearance to impart some kind of wisdom at indigenous community is often used to represent backwardness and complex histories of rich cultures of reduced and romanticized blocks have a look and asked studio we have back stories and characters for indigenous and first nation communities all conceived and brought to us by indigenous artists and story tell us. all superhero stories and more are now being written by and for indigenous communities not tone down not furthering stereotypes they are instead building representation have a look at aragon star a kickapoo singer and writer and creator of the super indian comic series this is

what you have to say. the reason i created super indian was because i was tired of seeing negative stereotypes about native americans in mainstream comics i wanted to create a character that had native american authenticity and also you know within the artwork and also within the rating as for the future of our indigenous superheroes i predict that there are going to be way more than there are now there are going to be more complex mar shades of grey they'll have access to a lot of high tech they'll be futurism so it's going to be great stick around you're going to want to see what we do. are against if i have a day some time off you can come see here thank you for that great start to rush oh there's so much to talk about joining us from albuquerque new mexico we have lee francis he's the c.e.o. publisher of native reality he also founded the indigenous comic called that's how to new mexico in the united states in silverdale washington state jeffrey very jean

is a native american comic artist and designer and in winnipeg canada sonja ballantine is a writer and filmmaker welcome to the stream all of you so i love this what does that . mean so yeah that is the wrong way to start this conversation doing it right back to you so when it comes to comic influences our community has a lot to say and we asked them which character stand out for them erin in there's a gateway from the x.-men series and for our audience that isn't familiar with gateway this is him from the marble fandom universe he's an indigenous australian and this is a closer look at gateway li is this character stand out for you when it comes to a good indigenous superhero. i think there's a bunch of things that i've seen where that where i really appreciate the ways in which. you know

a lot of stuff that came out of marvel and folks because you weren't writing or drawing this stuff but. you know i think even to my you know my business relations there's still some trophy ness or around the character you know the idea of of you know sort of that aboriginal you know that the things that we've seen throughout their history being used to sort of power base i think it's a double edged sword and i think that that's you know what we've really been trying to just be keen about placing really intentional about in in our representations not only through what we publish but also when we're trying to. you know copper everybody like we actually it's that these positions. so now i want to show you a cow it took from your childhood it's the green power ranger i have him here on my laptop when i show you well the green power ranger how on earth is he connected talk conversation that we're having right now tell us well well i found out recently that. tommy oliver was supposed to be is an indigenous character

and i i didn't know that when i was a child i no i don't either. i know if i knew that as a kid because i was like he was the most popular ranger and still is one of the most popular power injures and i'm like he was native like that so who like. like i think that's one of my one of my clever introduces. secretly native when i have a credit talk about how i consider spock from star trek a native person ok yeah and it's really interesting to me to have that aspect this because like who else could deal with both vulcan and human being and having so i was like of course he will never found out what his mom was what background is so mike ok she's great i decided it i always like i'm like you i've always associated spark just being because my my father's non-native and my mom's do so coming from

two worlds you are. yeah. that's a great compliment. but yeah i feel same way i've always felt like spock was a kindred spirit yeah that's one of the big things for me with spock is that he's both feeling with not being balkan and not them not being human enough and i've always felt that one aspect of native the native experience not being native enough because you can't speak your own language but not being white enough because you're so different everybody else so it's like i don't know anderson why there aren't more nicci people like native people into starch like i felt like the only one for a long time when i was in. but why not us the two. like i did i felt that way with like you know my dad was just like a supercycle i think and and so it was i think it was this wonderful precedent that was set in our own soul this like being native nurture being native tear was not something that was foreign to me and especially like reading comics my dad was

a huge reader so didn't matter if you know i was going out reading comics he was like you know he got something you're going to read and it's awesome you know i mean this stuff it was like cool there's now i like over the past couple years like a look at all these native nerds will be there around right now. or i met currently reading an article about. visiting cons and the most of the con in my city did not have very many native people going to let until very recently and it's it felt like that again when i was a little kid being the only star trek nerd in northern manitoba itself like oh my god like i'm the only one wire there anymore but just like and so it's very cool to see that it's becoming more acceptable to be a nerd because where some of the nerdiest people in the world so i don't know why how. well i would do that is that all right guys let's let's let's get some juice out of here what makes an indigenous superhero fantasy what are the ingredients

that you need tad to make them native fascination indigenous. well our one of the first ones i think is like a lot of a lot of superheroes in general suffer loss and that always made such a big impact on me because i'm like well why. as indigenous people we have suffered so much loss and asked so why aren't we indigenous why aren't we superheroes yet like asking for a man who has lost this planet wonder woman lost her home because she had to leave spider-man lost his family and it's like why i think this is still it's so easily transferred to us so i don't understand why we aren't heroes yet in that universe. so i don't know what you're saying there sonja about what you see a superhero having in their background but unfortunately our audience says too often they look like this this is a lean on twitter saying often they're limiting depictions of natives to old

mystical indian or noble savage stereotypes and that's incredibly harmful and leads people to believe that we're stuck in the past and capable of adapting to modern times and alina goes on to say there are certain spiritual and ceremonial aspects that are also seen as a private thing and many native cultures so they can't be accurately depicted in comics which leads to bad and or penned indian depictions of spirituality even when this is a part of the character's the background so jeffrey i wonder if you can pick up on that the heart. and i think lee touched on that a little bit earlier when he talks about it's a double edged sword we have some fantastic things fantastic symbolism fantastic spirituality in our culture when it's misrepresented the way it has been it becomes either a really bad cliche or a bad negative stereotype so when you have a native creator coming in there and he's in fusing his or her culture into his characters people might see that is oh that's just adding the stereotype with the

reality is you know this is how it's properly done jeffrey. you know i was. it's going to add to i think that partly it's it's about the lived experience when it's a non-native writer what they're looking at is the is the binge fringe bettors and and food right so they're going to add the tropes because it looks cool and i like cool characters i think they're really i mean you know there's there's really amazing things that can come out of that from the imagination but when i write and i write characters in the people that we try to engage each. oh yeah. i hear what you're saying. to me it's i'm just going to jump over to something for a moment because you're talking about creating characters so new this is exactly what you've been doing have a look here this is kerry barry lynn it's a children's book. on how does that fit into what we're talking about right now because you're creating characters that work for other people like you and

youngsters going up right now i think a lot of my work is autobiography autobiographical in terms of. write and i write with a plan of what did i want to see when i was a little kid and so i write with that intention always and sometimes it. i'm really surprised by how non-stereotypical things could come out for me or sometimes so your typical things could come about and so like i'm creating a superhero right now called thunderbird who was in my first film and there's a whole section where they create her costume and the entity that is her coffee decides that it likes a mole so it makes her costume look like a. design and there's a whole scene where maggie who is the founder bird she says like what i'm creating i can't have a height across the human like her or her sentience symbol cindy it cost me was

like no no it's fine well we'll deal with this later and i'm like oh crap so it's like coming up with stuff that got me angry to you as a kid like well and i hated seeing fathers i hated being seen as lake shy and or apache when i am a creep person so it's like i really want to eliminate that pan indian idea sure jeffrey you are people who know some of your stories i know some of your out how do you approach knowing that you come with you come to the table with some real integrity and then what do you do with your art. he walked gingerly and boldly at the same time. i want people to see that the native voice is behind but i also want to see the characters he said their characters just as much as they're mine they're part of our pop culture history and so that recognition is there soon as you see that and whether you're dative or you're not this is just me showing a native voice to these characters and i've been on or been lucky enough to be able

to work on a lot of the ones that i had loved as a child it's just been fantastic journey for me. here when. you know mark you've made before that was one of my favorite pieces of art that i ever saw like and the way you say i posted on twitter too but i love the superman the way you do it because to me superman is a native person like in all aspects except skin color so it's a play scene that almost made me want to cry cause i'm like i didn't. appreciate it you know like i said i be honest i just want to have fun but i also want people to know where i'm come from and i'm proud of where i come from natives we have a rich culture we have much to offer the world in we're just people are just now starting to recognize it and see the tip of that giant iceberg that's just looming out there waiting for us to explode on the world. if you let the problem because i

am and i and the guy next to last i feel that we often felt bad seeing native people relegated to the past made us feel so strange in terms of how like well i'm a modern native but i don't exist in the media so lake am i weird and so feeling pretty creature i mean really creatures nerdy natives on t.v. was something that was really cool to me because i lost my mind there's a show in canada called corner gas that has an indigenous character named davis who is a priest at a police sergeant and there's this whole conversation you. as right he's talking that you're off. another person in need and he's talking about battlestar galactica and i was like oh. so happy about that so i had a look at those little jim just yank things you love that you love seeing that. oh yeah and it's so much that i love this. is our native american. so i want to jump in here because i want to bring our community back in this is

a conversation that if you are having about why it's important to have indigenous creator behind the scenes so wish i had done twitter says marvel they have a new or character out and they said that marvel has a bigger responsibility then to hire native writers and artists their most recent character is based on any of it culture and they did consult with a native person for it but consultation is not enough it's a free pass that they did their homework so that's a critique and i'll show you that character in just a moment but i want to bring this tweet in next because dale here on the other side of that debate says we as a native writers and illustrators now have the resources to publish and distribute on our own terms we no longer have to wait for anyone to give us permission or give us room at events like comic-con we're changing it our selves so you can see the marvel character behind me but lee i want to go to you with this conversation talking about is it the duty of these bigger houses like marvel or d.c.

comics to include these voices or is that up to indigenous communities themselves i think we make our own path and we know that there's a market through this. and how we're going to go out but i also think that my main thing and i agree with the show you are not is. too often you've been serving as consultants in these ways you know listen jack is amazing you know and should be should have. been. we don't need we we're losing a little bit of you i'm so sorry about that let me just show you what part of what he does he has a bookstore the is dedicated to indigenous comics and fantasy and graphic novels and some of the tunnels a really important titles and more important titles but i want to point out

a couple of them we have code talkers here and then we also have to deal women a vignette these are stories that are really important that to be told in the not the kind of so is the of to make into comics. yeah yeah i think this is we're going to make our own ways it was the reason we wanted to. work that i've been able to be a part of i was going to wait around for anybody we just decided to start publishing and start a comic on an open. got it yeah. i actually wanted to go to comic-con and when i first heard of it and my first film actually played there and i was so upset i couldn't go because i that wasn't i made my first film crash site with the intention of it going to places like indigenous comic-con and so it's really important to me that these places exist but yeah i agree with reed that we often had to make our make our own way into these events and

because there's a there's a thirst for this work but i think there's a lot of problems with places like marvel or d.c. where they're like well that's tunisia the market lake who are people other than native people going to buy these books and it's it's such a it seems like such a wall we still have to climb because i'm like you know with the success of things like black panther people don't believe like the big places the big publishing houses don't believe that there's chances of success with such a market. so in making your own way i want to pivot on not because we got this comic lives on you tube this is the walker who says why do we need fictional superheroes only those who feel inferior need heroes only those who feel inferior see others as super so that's an interesting comment there he's getting a lot of the this person is getting a lot of feedback on you tube a lot of superhero in our community do you keep that in mind he has point in mind because i want to play a video comment from j. who's an on going when artist and a writer out of canada and this is why he says we need these super heroes. quae

james and there's the guns home and he was jailed you're going to go good writer artist producer comic creator from a killer guns even if not a community i wrote and drew created a graphic novel called could go either even though as leader of the after the two television series that airs in canada the united states and australia also drew book called black lies well through our much there was a national bestseller you can why does representation matter simply put we can't let our kids and business children and people of color grow up in a world where the only way they ever see themselves represented in the media and pop culture is that's the bad guys or even worse the comic relief so if you're thinking about a career in comics you might get involved in the media we need your voice now more than ever because right now anything's possible of i did it so can you so i look forward to watching your shows reading your books get in the mix we need you piece . yeah jay's said it will cause i wish he had been on here because i wanted to

tell him how much i wished it had existed when i was a kid because if i'd seen that i would have like lost my mind i'm like this thing that brought a kid on or rather. like a fairy to yell but it was so cool like i think we need heroes because no one asks why people need superman nobody asks why we need bad memory just do because they inspire us you aim higher and i think with our lake with the three of aspect we're kind of inspiring younger kids to go into it because i didn't see any writers growing up that were native and it's really important to me to show kids that they can be other than nurses and doctors and lawyers like we can be a lot of different thank you both so important let me see that. i think heroes are important because they reflect who we are they are the epitome of what we hope to be as as a people as per people there that you're they are. so you have

a native hero you want that native hero to put in my eyes everything that is great wonderful about our culture we need those the symbols of champions of who where we come from different you know what i was thinking about was i was looking you were looking at the amazing at least been doing and the sun has been doing is that from my study of those two cultures and different communities indigenous communities that culture the history the spiritual physicians has so much better stronger more amazing well magical than any superhero story that i've ever seen already mcgrane the culture what do you need made us and that's what i think you. mean if anything that i've ever seen in d.c. all malvo all and any of those big mainstream ones you have to superheroes already culture who already doing magical things and not even magical things this is what they did and i think that's where we're heading i think we're certain to see that right now i think that if you look back at a lot of the a lot of the heroes that we we see that the comic pages today derive from stories

greek myths different other mythology still we're now allowed because of weight things are today were loud to share and build off of our own culture and our own mythologies developed worlds. and villains the way we see the way that we from the stories that we know and we're just start to see that i you know jeff and i want to bring this in from amanda she's a teacher and she's uses indigenous comics in her teaching material she says my students are mostly non-native and they have very little knowledge about living indigenous peoples we climb this hill together to bring them into reality and a better understanding and i often start with a collection like moon shot might start with six killer she gives a couple examples and says just reading and engaging with comments by indigenous writers and authors versus student expectations the native peoples are no longer here. and the resulting discussion usually lacks defensive bias so limited that to

you because this is important for all audiences she's saying yeah yeah big it is six it was my my work and i wanted to sense you know native folks that are dead or dying that's another part of think that we've been trying to accomplish with this work in a manner points out a lot of other folks pointed out is that the pop culture is a case of that native people sort of get stuck in the western and various western motifs and so what you end up with is is this i. know lee's attorney jeffrey you can finish the sentence on this all right so here's what i think might happen that there might be this tension happening between mainstreaming comics and graphic novels and then what you want to do as artists who happen to be indigenous are you would be seen that fight or can everybody want to get a free. oh yes i think everybody can work together if we have

a healthy respect towards each and every culture that it's possible that. it's being done we just need to see more of it so. yeah i agree with that with that like people were thinking that black panther the movie was all they could it be for people of africa and the santorum black are people that are black but everybody from a variety of cultures love that movie like i remember seeing at my almost started around dance in the theater so i saw a lot of my own culture in that movie and like the importance of our own stuff and so i believe that any level i at any representation for any group that isn't just a default caucasian gays like something that we all love i mean people that just because the picture is one of a time because the high flying is what they are now it's over to people who so talented in the futuristic. jeffrey and sun will thank you for being part of the stream today thank you rick if you will in on you tube in january who says there

are so many superheroes in our communities that our own song and comics are how we hope for youth to imagine new heroes from a cultural base thank you say once for watching we will see you next time take everybody. december on al-jazeera. from hospitality to hostility toward hotels tells dramatic stories about high cons of complex and last resort shelters in divided

is said to have been made to the villa by a saudi national he's been named as left tenant colonel mansoor othman abu hussein who was a member of the so-called hit squad which carried out the killing it's thought that colonel abu hussein is in the saudi civil defense force and to serve the crown prince the turkish prosecutor has issued a statement saying the call was made a day before the killing and it was to discuss either how to hide or destroy this because saudis body. the search included the surrounding area and a neighboring villa which is also owned by a saudi national neither of the owners was present fire services drained two wells before the forensic team took away samples. the two main theories about what happened to mr saudis body either it was dismembered and dissolved in acid in the consulate or his remains were taken away in black suitcases purchased by saudi

officials on the morning of the murder they were then either disposed of in turkey or flown to saudi arabia under diplomatic privilege only the killers know the answer and they are in saudi arabia if this search fails to produce any significant evidence about the whereabouts of mystical saudis body it's difficult to see where this investigation goes from here without meaningful saudi cooperation which for some reason it still refusing to give. him i think you are as in the queue much saudi authorities are investigating with the perpetrators of the crime and they must hundred more over to us so that we can investigate them ourselves and know who the local collaborators or collaborators are and who gave the orders to carry out the crimes since all these questions are still unanswered calls from around the world and international organizations and getting louder to open an international investigation into this crime that saudi arabia. mohamed bin salman though i'm moving on doing business and seeing friends the crown prince the man thought by
