not. bangladesh the dawn of islamism an exclusive report starts october eighteenth. this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin new video emerges rich may give clues on the fate of the missing saudi journalist see see footage shows him. entering the saudi consulate building but never leaving the arrival of this black man at least at the scene is a key indicator that the writer may have met a gruesome and inside the consulate also on the program a dire warning as michael rules to was for a just god. forgive perkin michael is forecast to be the most destructive storm to
12:01 pm
hit the panhandle in decades. kill millions from the category four storm already whipping the coastline with landfall just hours away. and living on death row many of the condemned around the world experience isolation and even torture during the final days that's the focus of this is against the death penalty. begin this program in turkey where video has emerged of the missing saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi he's seen entering the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul a week ago but never leaving it other c.c.t.v. footage shows turkish security services say a fifteen men. intelligence team arriving in istanbul just one day before
12:02 pm
appointment at the consulate security services believe the team was involved in the german disappearance a black van is later seen leaving the consulate and then stopping at the residence of the consul general because she was once close to the royal family but then fell out and was considered by them as a dissident he was writing for publications such as the washington post. not a correspondent in istanbul in your home is following that story for us here what is turkey trying to demonstrate with the release of this footage. well the footage that has been released now is security camera footage from the airport here in turkey from the saudi consulate in istanbul here and from two different hotels and what it tries to do is supporting the turkish authorities
12:03 pm
claim that a team of saudi agents arrived on the same day on october second the day jamal khashoggi entered the saudi consulate here in istanbul and was later never seen again so what we see in the footage is how these a saudi nationals arrive here in turkey on two chartered planes how they later check into two different hotels and leave the hotel again we also see the black van that you have been talking about how it's parked in front of the saudi consulate while she enters the building how the then then itself enters the consulate territory and then leaves the scene what turkish media are now reporting is that they have identified the fifteen saudi nationals they have published their photos and their names and at least one of them is reportedly a military forensics expert from saudia arabia what the footage of course doesn't
12:04 pm
show is what happened inside the saudi consulate that is something the saudis would have to prove but the saudis still say all these murder allegations are baseless and they indeed say that could talk she left the building after entering it a week ago but didn't do it took investigators believe that they have a firm case that jamal khashoggi was loaded inside the saudi consulate. well honestly speaking turkish officials have left things quite murky they have not given any official press conference yet for example they have rather leaked evidence and footage to the media or speaking on the condition of a non-image t but the picture that is emerging here is indeed that turkish authorities believe he was assessing natives in the saudi consulate that it was a preplanned murder ordered from the very highest ranks of the saudi leadership one
12:05 pm
more info i can add the saudis have yesterday allow turkish investigators to enter the consulate and conduct their research over there because in the end to prove a murder you would have to find some kind of d.n.a. for example but the big question is of course what will turkish investigators be able to still find inside the saudi consulate building and believe me if you can you hear what can you tell us about relations between saudi arabia and turkey that appeared to be tensions that. well yes the relations between the two countries are strained especially since last qatar blockade and this story if the killing is indeed true has really really has the potential to cause a major crisis diplomatic crisis between turkey and saudi arabia so we're still waiting for example for a final assessment or an official assessment by president add on the situation and then we will have to see see how everything turns out but it's a very very delicate matter right here in istanbul thank you very much for that.
12:06 pm
let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild bulgaria has says a man has been arrested in germany in connection with the killing of bulgarian television journalist victoria lothian over the reporter was found dead in a park in the northern bulgarian city of bruce on saturday it was investigating allegations of fraud in funding at the time of her death the motive for her killing is still unclear. at least fifty people have been killed in a bus crash in western kenya witnesses say the driver lost control of the vehicle reach then overturned and a steep slope in the town of police say survivors are being treated at a local hospital. at least five people are confirmed dead and several others missing after a rain storms caused flash flooding on the spanish island of my new yorker two

12:08 pm
five miles per hour or more. again hurricane michael is forecast to be the most destructive storm to hit the florida panhandle in decades this storm will be life threatening and extremely dangerous with very little room. for again we have another one coming so we've done very well north carolina south carolina texas florida one week ago so many listeners. of course ensues controversy surrounding trump's handling of the puerto rico still nearly three thousand people died in that the heartache and michael the strike as thousands in the region are still reeling from hurricane florence which hit a few weeks ago we spoke to jim this and he can last night over in miami and he told us what the prouty's authorities in florida right now or right now with our ally and other utilities are mostly concerned about the not
12:09 pm
only the power outages but being able to safely navigate the roads to be able to get to the residents everyone else that have not evacuated and for the transition then the people who have evacuated out safely sense this is a fast moving storm it will most likely be working its way quickly throughout the state into other states so can cause a big danger to those still evacuated out thirty's and other response teams have been trying to work around the clock to figure out what is the best way to mitigate this after the storm hits and be able to get the right supplies over to the people in need as fast as possible. so that was journalist nicholas snyder in miami islamist militants and turkish backed rebels in syria are reported to have drawn their heavy weapons from nearly all of a planned buffer zone the demilitarized nations' zone on the turkish syrian border surrounds it clear province and adjacent areas of the northwest all factions have
12:10 pm
until today to remove the heavy arms from the fifteen kilometer to twenty kilometer wide area turkey and russia made this agreement last month to avoid what the u.n. called a humanitarian disaster in the region it live is a serious the last major opposition strong code. now for some analysis i'm joined in the studio by middle east expert a gator steinberg welcome didio now the deadline to move heavy weapons from this a buffer zone as agreed by russian turkey was today how certain can we be that these weapons have been removed well according to what i hear from both sides most of the weapons have been removed and the last ones will be removed in the coming days what is important though is the agreement works that's right but another deadline approaching is on monday and on by monday all the insurgents and rebels
12:11 pm
and different groups it's one link to the al qaeda should leave this area how likely is it that will happen i think it is very likely that it will happen simply because these groups have removed heavy weapons and the h.t.s. that's the al qaida affiliate in the area as opposed to the agreement. but. they seem to have listened to that turkish patterns they seem to have decided to oppose it publicly but at the same time to accept that they are in a weak position and they and they feel is control about seventy percent of the demilitarized zone h.t.s. that's the formal most profound is the. strongest insurgent organization in italy and it's the one organization that the turks don't control ok you know this agreement between turkey and russia has been described as an example of responsible
12:12 pm
diplomacy aimed at averting a humanitarian disaster in glib. do you think it would really work because that is the key for me that sounds a little bit positive it will work for some time but it is clear president assad has said that about two days ago that the syrian state. will regain its control of it province it might last for for a while it might last months or perhaps even years for the syrian state to regain control of it but it will conquer this region and if the insurgents don't withdraw to turkey they will do it the syrians will do it by force exactly so that's what i'd do what lengths will bashar assad to go to take it back because that is the last area in this country which is in the hands of opposition forces. will take this area back the only the only problem he has is that the russians have an
12:13 pm
interest in a slow slow moving process and diplomatic solutions and it's probably the russians who stop assad from from starting an offensive right now that is good news at least for some inhabitants of italy because now they have a chance to look for ways out of the country that might be the only chance to human in terror in disaster for many of these people so i think. we have to wait and watch and see what happens and how things develop the leader steinberg thank you very much for your assessment turning now to yemen where aid organizations are warning that a cholera epidemic is raging out of control a brutal civil war there has brought millions to the brink of starvation with much needed food and medical supplies cut off the country faces a humanitarian catastrophe. these women have traveled for days with their six
12:14 pm
children to reach this clinic. the children are now likely to survive that is east in most cases an infusion is enough to stop diarrhea and help cure the infection but this kind of treatment is not available everywhere in yemen and since this summer the number of cholera cases has risen sharply. and. it's getting worse again . more than every second patient we receive here is suffering from cholera this is extremely worrying. the beds in makeshift tents like this all occupied this hospital in the capital sanaa is one of the few that still operational. doctors and nurses are pushing the limits they don't turn anyone away. with a blockade of yemen's ports almost no food or medicines can enter the country. but aid organizations have been able to vaccinate many children and young people against cholera. unicef and its partners are vaccinated over three hundred thousand
12:15 pm
people against cholera last year including one hundred sixty thousand children it was possible because there was a ceasefire. that the humanitarian situation for civilians has become critical. many families don't know whether they'll have enough to eat the next day according to unicef a child under the age of five dies every ten minutes in yemen either from hunger or preventable diseases. more than fifty countries around the world impose the death penalty rights groups of those condemned to death are often subjected to dehumanizing treatment in isolation some might even torch it today is the sixteenth against the death penalty and we look at what conditions are like for convicts awaiting execution. carried dean more on the sixteenth person to be executed in the u.s.
12:16 pm
this year his death by lethal injection was recorded and meticulous detail he turned his head left and mouth several words to piers a number of witnesses including the words i love you he said that ten twenty five am. at ten twenty seven am he started breathing heavily and then at ten thirty nine and twelve seconds the curtain went down possibly into the process took about fifteen minutes total. kerry dean more had been sentenced to death as a twenty two year old for the murder of two taxi drivers he spent thirty eight years in prison awaiting his execution which was pushed off seven times there are currently more than two thousand seven hundred inmates on death row in the u.s. they typically spent more than a decade in prison before they are executed. during this time they're generally
12:17 pm
isolated from other prisoners excluded from prison programs and restricted in terms of visitation and exercise spending as many as twenty three hours a day alone in this cells. the united states is the only western country to still uphold the death penalty last year twenty three people were executed. but execution numbers in the u.s. are declining and they pale in comparison to some other countries in the world among the fifty six countries who still have the death penalty and use it iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan top the table. but the country with by far the most executions is china. chinese authorities don't release any figures regarding the death penalty. or television images like these of a former police chief being sentenced to death for murder and bribery last year are extremely rare q a few things we've been through most trials happen behind closed
12:18 pm
doors and chinese authorities maintain almost total secrecy over the number of people sentenced to death amnesty international estimates that the number of death penalties in china is in the thousands. that would mean that china executed more people last year than all the countries in the world put together. in contrast to the us the time a prisoner spends in jail before their execution is often only a few months. but conditions for death row prisoners are often inhumane. a shackled to the wall and tortured amnesty international has also cited reports of prisoners being executed without being able to say goodbye to their families. so far this is not been a good year for germany's national football team they were kicked out of the in the
12:19 pm
group stage of the two thousand and eighteen world cup in russia and then they were embroiled in a scandal involving this top player. and now the team wants to reconnect with its fan base in berlin supporters had the chance to see the german national pairs up close. it's the type of reception the germany team rarely gets these days five thousand cheering fans isn't bad considering the events of the past summer but not all that surprising either given tickets were distributed through berlin's youth football clubs hardly the toughest critics they flocked to get a glimpse of their favorite stars to build watching tony course the last minute thomas miller noir don't forget then to ferguson even thomas muller a poster boy for germany's failings this summer and for by munich's current struggles support for pines clutch of national players isn't what it used to be. the result was deemed to shake up of the squad never happened but i guess it
12:20 pm
doesn't make sense to change twenty players. need to break he's had it is not good to us all so i would mix things up a bit more and bring in some younger players from different clubs. but the only genuine newcomer is a start but fans are most excited by lee royce sonny. and brant and the team advantage may have more experience but they are yet to produce their best for you if you live side. they shouldn't give up they need to play more you join. up just need to do their thing and we'll win games. for the time being fans remain skeptical this open training session was the first step towards reconnecting with supporters for those lucky enough to be in attendance anyway. some good advice from the young fan. ok now this still joins me with business news and the emissions regulations for new cars by twenty thirty now the ministers
12:21 pm
meeting in luxembourg were essentially split between eastern and western europe germany backed by eastern european member states fiercely resisted the forty percent cut which the european parliament voted for last week luxembourg the novel as the nordic states had pushed for more ambitious reductions the meeting aims to establish the e.u.'s position for talks at the united nations climate summit in poland coming up in december. now let's get some more analysis on this deal with our correspondent band riegert and brussels band are the targets that you ministers agreed on in line with the demands from this week's un appeal to drastically address global warming. the u.n. experts have asked for up at an unprecedented reforms and none of this is achieved by the agreement reached in luxembourg. it's well the targets are now well in line with the overall. targets of the un but it's not overly ambitious you have to keep
12:22 pm
in mind that the car emissions in europe only a very tiny fraction of the overall problem but it comes to the climate change worldwide and much more important the emissions from power plants and also private teaching systems and i'm in this is also about do more in these six but they did not lower the already existing emission targets in these few years so they go with a common position into the negotiations but it's not unprecedented and not read it . the german government was pushing for a less stringent c o two reduction germany has been having a reputation as an advocate for more and byron mental protection has that changed now. germany is when it comes to emission reductions certainly not at the forefront and not at the other god the government in berlin is clearly trying to
12:23 pm
protect the german car makers which have a little problem its competitiveness of its comes through the reduction of emissions and so it's more surprising that the german minister actually gave in to the thirty five percent target she was obliged to fight for thirty percent but in the night she gave up and now she's hoping that the negotiations with parliament will go smoothly because parliament is aiming for forty percent and the negotiations are starting now and they hope to strike a deal in some way in the middle between thirty five and forty so the bargaining is going on but germany is certainly not the poster boy for cut emissions that's clear and representatives of the automotive industry certainly were watching last night's discussion what does this decision by the e.u. ministers now mean for the car industry. become makers have to sell more zero emission and electric cars in the future twenty thirty to reach these targets.
12:24 pm
but the targets are not set for every individual so you can still sell a fuel guzzling s.u.v.s on the one hand if you would sell to one of two zero emission cars on the other hand so the fleet is the important thing and that german comic is have to come up is more solutions french comic as for example better in this field the french government already says we can reach forty percent easily so the germans have to catch up and bring their rigor of reporting from brussels where and thank you so much. the global financial system is becoming increasingly unstable that's the conclusion of a report by the international monetary fund of the world bank currently meeting on the indonesian island of bali trade tensions particularly between the united states and china are one of the greatest threats to stability but the report also warns of the risks of rising debt in many of the world's emerging economies and the prospect
12:25 pm
of britain leaving the european union next year with out an axe the deal is also considered a threat to financial stability. now for more let's cross over to our financial correspondent conrad who isn't in frankfurt this is the second warning by the i.m.f. within twenty four hours are people in germany's financial capital confident that world leaders will listen. no they're not i'm afraid christophe in particular when it comes to one of the word leaders you know the american president america first this policy means that the united states is not really interested in seeking common ground with other nations and you know for the i.m.f. the international monetary fund this means that it's losing one of its most stabilizing forces the united states has always been a very stabilizing force even a dominating force for the international monetary fund the worldwide financial
12:26 pm
system since the foundation of the i.m.f. in one nine hundred forty five but now the positions of the two sides seem to become more and more adverse i mean take the tax cuts in the united states for example they are causing the united states to sort of suck up the money from other places in the world in great amounts. so the u.s. tax policy threatens the financial system in other countries of the world. cannot bosun frankfurt thank you. and reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on d w c.c.t.v. footage has emerged in turkey of a link to the case of a missing journalist who was last seen entering the saudi consulate so we could go to her security services believe the writer jamal khashoggi a saudi national was killed inside the building. and don't
