killed inside the consulate building the saudis on the other hand deny these accusations as baseless but they on the other hand have not provided any evidence that she left the building again after entering the united nations is calling on both turkey and saudi arabia to investigate. the disappearance to keep presumably is already doing. well the turkish foreign ministry said the investigation is continuing intensely and that saudi authorities now granted turkish investigators permission to enter the consulate building and to conduct their research there the big question is of course what can police what kind of evidence can they still find in that building because now officials have also confirmed reports about fifteen saudi nationals who arrived in two different planes and who entered the building after crucial he did on october second and these
2:04 pm
people are somehow connected to to his disappearance so turkish police are now trying to identify these fifteen people who have also been a cold death squads basically so there are a lot of questions saudi arabia needs to answer now and this is exactly what turkey's president. demands now let's listen to what he had to say. consulate officials cannot save themselves by saying that he left the building. have a camera. if he left you have to prove it with footage. with the turkish authorities where he is should also ask what happened. well so details about the investigation are trickling in now but we are still waiting really for turks investigators to address the press and to table the
2:05 pm
evidence and you know how much attention is this case attracting in turkey. well this case is really a mystery captivating people here in turkey but world right really and we know that human rights activists supporters and friends have gathered today again in front of the saudi consulate demanding a thorough investigation indeed mystic a child she's disappearance has shed a light on saudi arabia's crackdown on dissent and if this killing is indeed true if it is confirmed it would mark a stunning escalation of saudi arabia's effort to silence any dissent that's what basically human rights activists are saying here. thank you very much for that update and now to the case of another journalist whose fate is in the news and with gary and the police say they've detained

a roumanian man as they investigate the rape and murder of t.v. presenter victoria mind over the country's facing intense international scrutiny over the crime police say they are considering all possible scenarios so far there's no evidence links to her reporting on alleged misuse of funds in bulgaria she's the third journalists killed in the european union in less than a year. journalist victoria marie nova outside a church in a capital sofia. and the journalist's hometown hundreds turned out playing flowers and lighting candles in her memory. mary novus body was left in a park near the river danube after she had been brutally beaten raped and strangled . are still playing in mangere. so many most and i can explain. it so confusing how someone could go out
2:07 pm
for jogging never come back course is very young on one. hand he's. with children. it was this was the last time the thirty year old appeared on t.v. before her disappearance she had been working on an investigative report into alleged corruption in infrastructure projects involving european union funds authorities say there's nothing to link her death to her work. release which unease . were not excluding a spontaneous assault and were not excluding a premeditated assault. one thing is clear the murder was committed with great brutality and cruelty to. the book area currently ranked the lowest of all you members when it comes to press freedom someone is here to convince the actual politically motivated the european commission says it expects
2:08 pm
a thorough investigation into mary novus killing. and joining me now is daniel conduct from the friedrich naaman foundation which is going to germany's liberal f.t.p. body he's responsible for bulgaria welcome mr cadigan your organization has been working to promote liberal values in bulgaria for decades what's your assessment of victoria body nor was investigations into not scared of fraud. and the it is not only last year froth we have foes likely high level corruption cases where not only a couple of millions but tens of millions have been still missing where do you project have cost four times of what they should have cost so therefore of course especially in the rises when it comes to the killing of a well known journalist and still we cannot say if that was in their coming was actually linked to our investigations but the fact that so many people in civil society are raising that question tells you
2:09 pm
a lot about media freedom and the atmosphere and bulgarians the mums and who look on exam express fear for their own safety and some might even get into hiding what can you tell us about the media landscape in bulgaria. unfortunate media landscape in bulgaria's and dire state we are at one hundred eleven reporters without all of us have report. that we have a lot of awful censorship in bulgaria and we have journalists and especially investigative journalist big put under stress and partially also beaten up in the process so we have a massive problem with media freedom and the country and death well on the stand while journalists are afraid and also police has not always been on the best of jobs when it came to prison and protecting journalists in the past therefore i have to urge still authorities to actually do their job and investigate the problem the victim i know was a fudge and this to me nodded in an e.u.
2:10 pm
country miss anea what do you and does the e.u. need to play in this. for the one they need to send an investigative team to bulgaria to see what is actually going on with media freedom at the case of mr martin of on this and the second thing is that the midsection is a small media outlet of media freedoms really in collaboration with the fact that a lot of the media funding comes from you falls so the me you this hype directly linked to the fact that we have a dwindling media fleet most of the money for the media market is coming from the council of ministers directly to government friendly media which does not help media freedom at all so these are the two most important thing the thorough investigation from europe inside and a crucial look into the media freedom and the funding of media and last but not least the high love corruption cases that misrata not asking us to get. done in

the us we have downgraded its twenty nine hundred growth forecast owing to the recently enacted tariffs on a wide range of imports from china and china's retaliation china's expected twenty nine thousand growth is also marked down. another factor worrying is the rise in global debt in the last decade average national borrowings have risen from around a third of economic output to more than half. that's an especially big concern for emerging economies many of which have seen money leave as a result of a rise in interest rates. with economic titans at loggerheads and developing countries under pressure the threats to global growth appear very real. it's quite a picture of the i.m.f. spending for some more analysis let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt conrad the i.m.f. is talking about an array of threats here how will markets respond. well
