9:01 pm
has been told. saudi arabia denies that allegation and says it welcomes turkey joining the investigation into khashoggi's disappearance. mr khashoggi, a critic of the saudi government, has not been seen since he entered the building on the 2nd of october. his fate is now having diplomatic and economic consequences for saudi arabia and its leader crown prince mohammed bin salman. a major investment conference is due to take place later this month. but now the president of the world bank and groups including bloomberg and the financial times have pulled out. us treasury secretary steven mnuchin will still go but says that decision could be reversed if more information comes out. here's bbc arabic‘s anees al qudaihi on that alleged murder evidence. the focus today was on alleged videos of him, in spite of the inside the consulate.
9:02 pm
several sources confirmed the existence of these videos, audio recordings, one source is a seniorjournalist pro journalist who boasted or sent an audio message on the group. he said he was invited by his turkish security services to see the video on thursday and that the video shows jamal, inside the consulate and also the view of the announced names jamal, inside the consulate and also a few of the announced names of the turkish authorities, that arrived that day. and he said, and that message, that he was without and he said, and that message, that he was with doubt that jamal was killed that day. with me is political editor of the middle east
9:03 pm
magazine, adel darwish. what do you make of the contents of this video and this evidence? but also the fact that it has emerged in the public domain? it is quite interesting, it is not officially in the public domain. it is leaked. what is interesting is that they briefed journalists, and no one has actually seen the evidence. but the conclusion of the allegation that they heard voices and shouting in someone they heard voices and shouting in someone being asked to answer questions and shouting and screaming. unless it is officially released, obviously saudi arabia does not feel obliged to respond anyway. the country has not been helpful in the investigation. that is the saudi ambassador to the uk has actually said that we will try
9:04 pm
to find out what happened. but we cannot say more than that. so it's either an investigation to work with the turks there, they offered them a search of the consulate. there is a precedent for that and 1984, when the libyans precedent for that and 1984, when the libya ns had precedent for that and 1984, when the libyans had the problems here. because libby is not turkey is —— turkish soil. so they went to the british to search the embassy. by think it's fair to say that saudi arabia has not been particularly forthcoming on this issue and it is a high—stakes forthcoming on this issue and it is a high—sta kes scandal. forthcoming on this issue and it is a high-stakes scandal. yes, because there are more questions than a nswe i’s , there are more questions than answers, they're there are more questions than answers, they‘ re obviously there are more questions than answers, they're obviously a obliged to find out, because he is a saudi
9:05 pm
citizen. and he would to the conflict to raise official papers. so they have to, under their own law, investigate what happened. would do things at stake here?|j think would do things at stake here?” think what game turkey is playing the. i would say turkey. because we have seen same side of the political reconfiguration of the middle east, he isa reconfiguration of the middle east, he is a member of the muslim brotherhood. so he is not on the outside as one would like to believe? i have no evidence, but what i'm trying to say is that he is on the turkish side, he is on both sides, where it is his mind? he must either had an appointment or someone knew someone who knew something, if
9:06 pm
the turks actually are not playing the turks actually are not playing the game of president putin, because the game of president putin, because the russians have a lot against saudi arabians, so is quite a great deal of a complex web, here. a us pastor convicted of terror—related charges in turkey has arrived at the airport ahead of his departure, after a court decision to free him. there were chaotic scenes at the airport in izmir when andrew brunson arrived. the pastor was sentenced to three years injail in a case that badly strained ties between the us and turkey. he was arrested over alleged links to political groups, including the banned gulenist movement, after a failed coup attempt in 2016, but a court released him because of the time he'd already been detained. our correspondent mark lowen is in istanbul. over detention of pastor brunson has been the source of an unprecedented crisis between the us and turkey. donald trump lost patience with turkey's continued detention of andrew brunson and over the summer,
9:07 pm
applied distinction did two turkish minnis today ministers and hiked tariffs on turkish aluminium and steel. they responded in kind, relationships between these new paige two nato allies reached an unprecedented low and with it, the turkish currency, the lira, which lost some 40% of its value against the us dollar. so clearly, economic and political pressure on turkey meant that this country had to release andrew brunson in the end. even though the president had always maintained that turkey has an independentjudiciary and he cannot interfere with the court's decision. there were long reports of negotiations between the two governments and reports of a deal struck between the two where pastor brunson would go free. so he has been released, he was given a three—year, one month, 15 day sentence, which was basically covered by the two years he's spent in custody, so is on his way back where he will be, i'm sure, warmly welcomed by donald trump.
9:08 pm
he's already tweeted his support and happiness that pastor brunson has been freed. and now, i think what turkey will want is the sanctions and threats of future sanctions will be lifted and normalisation of relations between turkey and the united states, but i think what this has shown really once again is that the turkey judiciary is anything but independent. hurricane michael has all but rubbed a florida beach town off the map after smashing into the state's north—west coast near the community of mexico beach packing 155mph winds. over 1.4 million homes have been left with no power in florida, alabama, georgia, virginia and the carolinas. michael is one of the most powerful hurricanes in us history, and has killed at least 12 people. rajini vaidya nathan reports. this is home now. actor michael came and left. the hurricane destroyed thousands of homes, including where four—year—old armani lives. all my clothes are in there. in the dresser, but there all messed up.

the latest headlines. the bbc‘s been told by a source close to the investigation into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi that turkey has evidence that the saudi journalist was killed. an american pastor whose detention in turkey caused a diplomatic rift with washington has been released from custody and is on his way home. the british government has further outlined what could happen if the country leaves the eu without a deal — as part of its contingency planning. eurostar might be suspended and tickets no longer valid, and the electricity supply to northern ireland could be disrupted. earlier i spoke with our political correspondent chris mason and asked him about the purpose of these notices. the purpose of these papers is that
9:15 pm
you in the uk, there is setting out the argument for how different sectors of the british economy will cope if there is no deal in the coming months as far as a withdrawal agreement is concerned. the uk will lead the eu at the end of march of next year, will we do not yet know is whether the uk will leave with a withdrawal agreement, which will mean he was a transitional period for the best part of two is a little will change and work out what the long—term arrangement will look like, or no deal at all. if there is no deal at all, there will be rapid change happening a lot of sectors. and there've been a hunter published since august, really spell that out. so for instance, the potential for significant disruption of rail services, leaving the uk by the channel tunnel heading to france and belgium, and the suggestion from the british government that travellers should buy flexible tickets because
9:16 pm
an individual ticket may not be valid because it might not run, or they could get held up in a queue trying to make that train. what is also telling we would get the papers is the extent to which the uk over a generation has been so deeply meshed within the european union. for advocates of brexit, that is the very reason why the uk should be leaving. but, it does mean that if there was a brexit that didn't involve a withdrawal agreement, the short term associated with that would be, it would not be a walk in the park. these papers emphasise that. lizzie has all the sport. thank you seven matches in europe the semifinals, both sides lost to spain so it could be crucial, it is
