8:48 am
al-jazeera. bigger and potentially more dangerous that's the best way to describe what's happening with a smoking alternative known as vapor i enjoy the taste of it and the harmful effects of what smoking does between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen alone we start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head comparison to say this conventional cigarette which one do you think has helped my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no one else is the. pictures image of saudi agents carrying bags into the consul's residence soon after the murdered saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was last seen alive.
8:49 am
but again on pieces you're watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up the ruling party in bangladesh wins a third term in a row but the opposition is rejecting the results of the vote moment by violence. violence today in the democratic republic of congo's election with long queues broken machines and missing voter lists just wrapped in polling. and a major investigation raises new questions about the israeli military's use of life fire on protesters in gaza. i. ok there we are here we go has obtained pictures showing the saudi hit squad that killed the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi carrying large bags shortly after he.
8:50 am
was last seen alive suspected of carrying his remains which have never been found into the consul general's home the video shows the arrival of the team members at his residence in istanbul in the corner of the video you can see a member of the team carrying a large black bag into the building ashaji was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul on the morning of october the second officer simcoe new has more now from istanbul remember the turkish investigation teams that work the police they did two searches in the conflict building and they did one search in the residence building and just to remind our viewers when they were doing this with the geisha in the residence thanks on the way they for the turkish teams found a well they wanted to make a search and called five or big teams to do a proper search actually back the saudis told them that. only the people who are on
8:51 am
the list they can do the search no fire brigade can enter so that the police was able to get some water samples and according to the technical analysis there was no d.n.a. . or blood in that the water sample but of course the turkish team said that we have to do a proper search a second and made a second request to search about well inside the residence of course. we don't know. where exactly they might have kept the but the remains but this is a very strong possibles that democracy to who has been brutally killed by the saudi also jewels in a consulate building in istanbul has brought the rebellion and most probably is. are still in the residence building chris phillips is formally a crime investigator he says the new evidence may implicate even more people who were inside the consul general residence. you can't believe these things happened
8:52 am
in embassies or consul general buildings but but of course they are control of all their control in that they are saudi property saudi land the local police can't really do very much about it and of course they wouldn't imagine for one minute that the were actually listening to what was going on inside that building so. this is you know no one in the west i think thinks for one minute other than the fact that this was a terrible murder a planned murder and of course you know we've we've seen the evidence now and it's only heard the evidence and this goes further to the case i think what happens next is the interesting thing and. i don't think that ever found this body or bits of this body but what they will have to do in some ways try to do with the ongoing political situation well just shannon is the executive director of the arab center in washington he says the release of this new video has another layer of complexity
8:53 am
to the ongoing murder investigation. there is one significant remaining question in this whole investigation where is the body of. most probably of course the saudi side would hope that this recent cabinet reshuffle puts an end to this case and relieve saudi arabia from this pressure by the turks and the international community looking for some answers but it is clear judging from these pictures and judging from the new book that was just released a couple of days ago in turkey was also some additional information including some new names potentially involved in this case i don't think the case is disappearing shuffle shuffling the cabinet or not shuffling the cabinet saudi arabia needs to come clean needs to explain the legal process needs to prove that the people who have been dismissed from office because of their implication in this crime have
