the government of saudi arabia is facing growing isolation because of the disappearance and alleged murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi. the french president, emmanuel macron, is the latest international leader to voice his concern. turkish sources have confirmed they have evidence mr khashoggi was murdered by a saudi security team inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia denies any involvement. 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. bill hayton reports. jamal khashoggi walked through this door ten days ago and was never seen

again. leaks to localjournalists suggest turkish police have documented evidence that he was interrogated, tortured, and murdered within these walls. translation: government officials say they are going to publish the evidence soon. police have all the evidence soon. police have all the evidence except for one thing. where is the body? that is what they are investigating. senior saudi officials have denied the allegations, but events in the consulate and at the nearby diplomatic residence have caused an international crisis. it has emerged that an advisor to the saudi king visited turkey on thursday and the fa ct visited turkey on thursday and the fact that jamal khashoggi was visited turkey on thursday and the fact thatjamal khashoggi was an american resident has also put the us government in a difficult position. we have communicated with the saudi ambassador to the united states. it is my understanding that he is on his way back to saudi arabia. we have said to him that we expect information upon his return

to the united states. when and if we have additional information to bring you we will bring it you right away. the us has major arms and other business dealings with saudi arabia and is also concerned about the overall direction of politics in the country under its new leadership. lot of people in the us government have said we need mohammed bin salman to succeed. we need the crown prince to be successful, because he needs to be the agent of change in saudi arabia. i think a lot of those people are wondering whether mohammed bin salman can be that agent of change. saudi arabia remains an important partner for western governments. many are expected to return to big investment summits there next month. however, several media organisations and business leaders have already pulled out. and more may yet follow, depending on the news from istanbul. bill hayden, bbc news. the evangelical us pastor released by a turkish court after two years in detention 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's always denied supporting what turkey considers the terrorist groups behind the 2016 coup attempt. his case has caused major friction between the two countries. speaking to reporters, president trump confirmed there had been no deal with turkey for pastor brunson‘s release. so we have good news. pastor andrew brunson is in the air from turkey. he is, i think, in good shape. he will be stopping most likely in germany for a checkup. then he is going to be coming to the oval office, most likely on saturday. 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 to 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 and the vice president mike pence have been personally involved, they have publicly protested pastor bru nson‘s innocence. technically this has gone through the courts in turkey. it has been convicted of espionage and aiding terrorist groups in the country. these are 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 has 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, i suppose 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. yes. 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 iran. iran is one of the big concerns at the moment for the us.

they're concerned about the way turkey does business and the way they are reaching out to iran. that is something they want to address. this has opened the potential of maybe 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 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. i love turkey. " when the verdict was read out he wept and hugged his wife,

who has been very concerned about this. he hasn't spent all of that time in jail. there has been time spent under house arrest. that is partly because he has been in some ill health. getting back to america will be a priority. he will stop at the us air base in germany along the wayjust to check on his health. rescue workers are still searching through debris for people who may have been trapped or killed when hurricane michael tore into the south—eastern united states on wednesday. 16 people are now known to have been killed by the storm — in florida, virginia, georgia and north carolina. the town of mexico beach in florida has been destroyed, almost beyond recognition. michael is now moving away from the us mainland, and has been downgraded to a post—tropical cyclone. rajini vaidya nathan reports. this is home now, after michael came and left. the hurricane destroyed many homes, including where four—year—old where four—year—old armani lives.

in breaking down cultural barriers. colleen harris reports. music: israelites - desmond dekker & the aces. the steady sound of jamaican reggae. introduced to britain by trojan records, the label secured dozens of hit songs. ‘rudeboy: the story of trojan records', directed by nick jack davis, retraces the label's influence on the uk council estates, inspiring a new generation of british youths. you couldn't go to white clubs, simple. so, natural thing, you make your own fun. bringing the story to the contemporary world and showing why it is important, and it is important because music and fashion with it can make massive change. for all of us, it was like, let's make a positive story about immigration, and that was the heart of it. and then music and getting to the stories, which are brilliant. new migrants from the caribbean

brought their music with them but there was a struggle to get it played so the importance of djs and their sound systems was crucial. we met a lot of resistance in the mainstream of our reggae music. none of the clubs in england and london would allow us to come and play reggae music. so, people would clear out their house, and we would go into the house and string up into a room, and then we would have a party. most of our parties are a multiracial thing. known as the motown of reggae, trojan records has left a musical and cultural legacy. these were children of the windrush, influencing generations of musicians, like the clash, culture club and madness, with the sounds that they produced. trojan's hits appealed to the white working—class skin heads, the fashion kind, not the fascist kind, that helped catapult the music into the charts.

while the politicians were playing on the fears of the old folk, it was trojan's catalogue that united the youth. black and white, on the dancefloors, the playground, and on the streets. so, it was really music as a kind of tool for social change. trojan records folded in 1975, but, its legacy in british culture lives on. letterhead to new york and a display of jewellery that once letterhead to new york and a display ofjewellery that once belonged to the most famous women in history. the items were worn by marie antoinette, former queen of france and famous for the phrase "let them eat cake". jewellery will go on stage —— on sale next month in geneva as tim allman reports. so many, she is the ultimate symbol
