turkish sources have told the bbc that it has audio and video evidence showing that the missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia denies that allegation and says it welcomes turkeyjoining the investigation into his disappearance. mr khashoggi, a critic of the saudi government, has not been seen since he entered the building on the second of october. this is now having diplomatic and economic consequences for saudi arabia and its leader crown prince mohammed bin salman. media and business executives have pulled out of a major investment conference later this month. us treasury secretary steven mnuchin will still go but may change his mind if more details emerge. anees al qudaihi from bbc arabic explains how they got the story. the bbc has interviewed turan kislakci, the head the video has allegedly been seen by

several turkish journalists. it is not only one source. other sources have confirmed the existence of these. they also said the videos will be released in two or three days. the bbc has interviewed turan kislakci, the head of the turkish arab media association. he says the turkish government claims the evidence is extremely compelling. ian black is a senior visiting fellow at the middle east centre

at the london school of economics. he said the pressure on saudi arabia to co—operate in an investigation is building. the saudi reaction of silence to all these leaks the saudi reaction of silence to all these lea ks and the saudi reaction of silence to all these leaks and rumours and reports that we have been hearing now for close to ten days, it is just not going to work. we are going to have to, in the light of the international interest in this story and the pressure on saudi arabia, we are going to have to find out more clearly what happened. and that will require the cooperation of the saudi government with turkey. and there is huge, huge international interest in this case. i just huge, huge international interest in this case. ijust don't think huge, huge international interest in this case. i just don't think there is any alternative. i think the evidence is mounting that saudi arabia is in very serious trouble over this. it is starting to be

isolated internationally. we have heard reports of people pulling out of high—profile conferences, businesses, media organisations, and so on. businesses, media organisations, and so on. there has been an interesting sign that i have focused on a little bit today, that is the dispatch to ankara of a senior member of the saudi royalfamily ankara of a senior member of the saudi royal family to see president began. that does suggest, perhaps for the first time, that in the riyadh there is a sense of unease about the way this has been handled —— erdogan. the pressure is enormous. the international concern is unavoidable. the whole view of saudi arabia's young crown prince, mohammed bin salman, as a reformist is being ripped apart by these allegations. it seems to me that the saudis have every interest in trying to shed some light on it. if, as the evidence appears to show, that they

have been involved in some terrible act against jamal khashoggi, have been involved in some terrible act againstjamal khashoggi, then there will have to be a price to pay, because of the international interest and the sense of isolation thatis interest and the sense of isolation that is mounting, almost by the hour. ian blackford. —— ian black there. a us pastor released from jail by a turkish court has left the country and is on his way back to the united states. there were chaotic scenes at the airport in izmir when andrew brunson arrived to board a military plane. he was sentenced to three years in jail 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. president trump spoke to reporters about the release. he was asked about whether sanctions against turkey would now be removed, but he confirmed there had been no deal made with turkey for pastor brunson‘s release. so we have good news, pasztor andrew

brunson is in the air from turkey. he is, i think, brunson is in the air from turkey. he is, ithink, in brunson is in the air from turkey. he is, i think, in good shape. he will be stopping less likely in germany for a checkup. then he is going to be coming to the oval office, most likely on saturday —— stopping less likely. we are very honoured to have him back with us. he suffered greatly, but we are very appreciative to a lot of people. earlier, i spoke with our correspondent chris buckler in washington. i asked him about the details of pastor brunson‘s release. this case has been at the centre of a huge diplomatic row between turkey and the us. president trump mike pence have been personally involved, they have publicly protested pastor brunson‘s innocence. they have publicly protested pastor bru nson‘s innocence. it

they have publicly protested pastor brunson‘s innocence. it has been convicted of espionage and aiding terrorist groups in the country. there is a jayde —— terrorist groups in the country. there is ajayde —— charges terrorist groups in the country. there is a jayde —— charges that we re there is a jayde —— charges that were laid against him. however, he has been released without actually going to prison, effectively because of time served and what was described as his good conduct. he is continually protested his innocence and us officials have done that as well. nbc, one of the us media broadcasters here, it said there was a secret deal that had been done in return for his release. you heard there that president trump specifically said that that was not the case, but you do get the sense that there has been building pressure from the white house on turkey on this. there have been sanctions, economic sanctions, they have been hurting turkey's troubled economy. they insist there is no secret deal, it does leave open the possibility of trying to improve relationships between ankara and washington. on that point about improving relationships, isuppose thatis improving relationships, isuppose that is part of the reason why we are hearing from the white house

that the plan is for pastor brunson to attend as soon as saturday when he gets back to the us. jass. apart from that, it is a victory for the trump white house. that is the way they will see it. they have been working very hard to try to ensure his release. beyond that, you have got these ongoing difficult relationships between turkey and the us. you have sanctions in place on what are effectively nato allies. there is deep concern in the us about the kind of relationships that are developed between turkey, russia, and specifically in ryan. they run is one of the big concern at the moment for the us —— iran. they're concerned at the moment for the us —— iran. they‘ re concerned about at the moment for the us —— iran. they're concerned about the way turkey does business and the way they are reaching out to iran. this has opened the potential of mabey talks between turkey and the us. you still get the sense that

relationships are not good, although this gives a chance for them to be improved. chris, just briefly, presumably for pastor brunson‘s family and friends, this cannot come a day too soon, to see him on his way back to the us. absolutely. it isa way back to the us. absolutely. it is a point worth making. he has been through an awful lot. you had president trump saying as far as he is concerned he has suffered an awful lot. he went on to say as far as he is concerned he is in good shape. at the end of that trial, whenever effectively they got the verdict, he said "i am an innocent man. i love jesus. verdict, he said "i am an innocent man. ilovejesus. i verdict, he said "i am an innocent man. i lovejesus. i love turkey." when the verdict was read out he we pt when the verdict was read out he wept and hugged his wife, who has been very concerned about this. there has been time spent under house arrest. not in jail. that is partly because he has been in some ill health. getting back to america will be a priority. he will stop the us air base in germany along the way to japanese alp.
