2:01 pm
journalist chandran died today in absentia on espionage charges talks to him and he's been living in exile to turkey is supposed to cool crack down. and several killed and dozens remain missing after flash floods hit the spanish. the sudden storm just took minutes to convolve despond destruction. we begin in turkey video has emerged of the missing some of the arabian journalists jamal khashoggi he's seen entering the saw the aruban consulate in istanbul a week ago but never leaving it other c.c.t.v. footage shows that turkish security services say is a fifteen member. skeen arriving in istanbul just hours before
2:02 pm
appointment at the consulate security services believe the team was involved in the journalist's disappearance a black man is later seen leaving the consulate and then stopping at the residence of the consul general she was once close to the royal family but then fell out and is now considered a dissident by the saudi regime he was writing for publications such as the washington post. for the very latest i'm joined by our correspondent in istanbul who you're high on julio why did turkey put these pictures in the public domain and what was it trying to demonstrate it. well the footage released today is security camera footage from different locations from the istanbul app or from outside the saudi consulate here in istanbul and from two hotels and it is supposed to support the turkish authorities claim that a team of saudi agents was involved in. the disappearance that these agents indeed
2:03 pm
arrived on the very same day the day she entered the saudi consulate here in istanbul and went missing so in these videos we basically see saudi nationals arriving in turkey on two charter flights in the early morning hours of october second they then check into two different hotels close to the saudi consulate we see them leaving their hotels again we also see this mysterious black van that you have been talking about packing in front of the saudi consulate while jamal she enters the building the than later on also briefly enters the gate of the saudi consulate and then leaves now turkish media have also published the names and pictures of these fifteen saudi nationals claiming they have been in identified by the turkish police and these reports also claim that at least one of them is a high ranking military forensics expert from saudi arabia now would all of this of
2:04 pm
course doesn't prove is what happened inside the saudi consulate this is the big question the saudis would have to answer but they until now say all these murder allegations are baseless they are not true and they indeed still say that she left the saudi consulate alive after he entered it but due to cash investigators seem quite certain that she was murdered inside the saw the gun salute. well turkish officials have left things quite murky from my understanding at least there was no official press conference rather investigators have leaked information to the media such as the video today. or they have spoken on the condition of anonymity so we're still waiting for something more to emerge but of course the bigger picture here is that turkish authorities indeed believe officials indeed
2:05 pm
believe that your market talked to was assessed in a tit inside the saudi consulate that he was killed quite brutally his body later dismembered and taken out or moved out of the building and they also seem to believe that this was ordered by the very highest ranks of the saudi leadership now yesterday the saudis allow turkish investigators to enter the saudi consulate and conduct their research over there because of course to prove these murder allegations turkish investigators would for example have to find d.n.a. of. the big question now is of course after one week of his disappearance how much evidence can these turkish investigators still find inside the saudi consulate leon thank you very much for that up to from istanbul. a turkish court today resumes a trial against opposition journalists. are left to a key in two thousand and sixteen on for a court sentenced him to five years in prison this football machine an
2:06 pm
investigation of government armstrong for us is the most militants in march of this here turkey's highest score drew the face new challenges off espionage done now lives in exile here in berlin we speak to him in just a moment but first a look at this case which has spikes tensions between germany and turkey. one of turkey's most famous journalists. chandu and has been living in germany for over two years evading a five year prison sentence for allegedly revealing state secrets his case as part of a crackdown on journalists and activists across turkey following an attempted coup against zero to one in two thousand and sixteen. and turkey continues to pursue him . during a recent visit to berlin turkish president red chip type at a one present to german authorities with a wanted list of so-called terrorists believed to be living in germany didn't i was
2:07 pm
on that list ankara is demanding that the journalist be extradited to face yet another trial this time with a possible twenty year sentence. due and i had planned to confront the one at a press conference in berlin but he pulled out at the last minute. he later explained he did not wish to give the turkish president an excuse to cancel the event. it might sound strange to my german colleagues that a political leader could boycott a news conference because of a reporter but heard one is not used to being in the same room with critical journalists. doing the presented an alternative to one's terrorist list a roster of over two hundred journalists imprisoned in turkey. he said it was his duty to stand up for the rights of his colleagues. joining me now is john didn't die himself welcome mr didn't dawn on the turkish president richard that says
2:08 pm
you're a traitor you're a spy and even a terrorist your response. my responses he is a lawyer because of there's nothing there's no journalists in jail with the terrorist charges i mean they are all. committed or blamed of releasing say secrets writing against the governments being critical about the government's policies etc so they are just journalists not the terrorists but blaming that for terrorism is a. kind of. traditional that's theater of this government unfortunately and therefore city or personal security has become an issue since a recent visit. to germany what can you tell us about that about this the security issue right. myself you mean that's right general you know your own security and
2:09 pm
that lesson. i'm afraid is not only me but the whole point of airliners on the risk everywhere in the world because everybody watched the press conference and you can easily. see how angry he is against the journalists who was critical of him and here it is you know looking for revenge and that's five of course you have to be careful who you are challenging him so there is no position left almost in ticky in the media sector so that's why he's trying to punish the journeys of side to be good just to give the message to the others that. he can find you everywhere so we are of course keep on struggling but of course we have to be careful about the
2:10 pm
security issue and tell him go after what happened at that press conference do you feel more at risk now. of course imagine that one president is coming to the country and blaming a journalist for being a spy or terrorist so what would you expect out of this there are a lot of people who wants to be a hero in the eyes of him or his government by punishing the journalists and we have experienced this into t. and just in front of the courthouse i was attacked by a gunman and he is just freed last week. without any punishment so it's a kind of encouragement if you're not punishing a guy just. pointing a gun or a journalist that's a kind of a encouragement of course now you know why it still lives in turkey i am concerned
2:11 pm
about her safety. oh yeah of course i mean. she is like a horse that without any reason. keeping her in turkey just to punish me. of course as everybody should live is also on the risk but. this is the is their own lawfulness that we are trying to explain to words that there's no rule of law just the system you take more and under these circumstances you can do nothing but struggle now you are living here in exile in germany do you think the german government is dealing with the increasingly authoritarian edu on regime in the right way was it for example a right to offer a mistake visit recently. as you know i mean from the beginning being criticizing the german government being not enough was doing nothing else and
2:12 pm
saying not enough against ricky but during this visit i guess they were much more walk about the injustice system and the aggression of the turkish government the state was it of course was a question but you have to do what it's gone from to achieve and you have to respect turkey and turkish people while you have to warn the aired on the government for its crackdown against media so. the best is that division is very important because you have to be side by side with people turkish people fighting against and on and you don't have to isolate them this is a very difficult balance to build up but. i guess the state's business idea was a respect to turkish people and to me in general terms should mention them. but at
2:13 pm
the same time they were brave enough to gave the right messages to i don't know you do not tension too many many journalists in tell key who often incarcerated what jane how difficult is it for best feedom in the country i don't contact with some of your former colleagues. of course they are putting their lives in risk while they're writing or talking and even today i mean one of my colleagues and a parliamentarian at the moment. in front of the judge together with my wife for for what for a story be published in a newspaper which was a true story nobody denied it and we were accused of being. helpful to the terrorist organization and ironically you've been. criticizing the government for aiding and abetting some islamists garrulous in syria and. over the syrian
2:14 pm
border and now we were accused of being. terrorists or aiding the terrorist organizations so it's a beach front against a journalist in turkey to to suppress them to stop them talking or writing but things got we have still brick jordan is to search for the truth. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with you you thank. there's been a number of you up to date with some other stories making news around the world but he gave us is the man has been arrested in germany in connection with the killing of a bulgarian television jenna's victoria in over the reporter was found dead in a park in a northern well given city on saturday night in orwell was investigating allegations of fraud linked to e.u. funding at the time of her death the motive for the killing is still unclear.

2:18 pm
to others they're nothing more than rats with wings flying transmitted disease see the great liberator here is not shy to give them a perch on busy weekends more than three thousand pigeons flock to the square bearing bolivar's name they're tempted by the treats on offer by enthusiastic tourists others aren't so sure. they'll think i saw i think this is a health issue here in bogota they should have a bit more control police control as well i'm not saying they should ban feeding pigeons but they should have a bit more control over the core unfurling like they might. with one london uses hawks in paris contraception. new solution to control numbers is this is what the problem is of course. if it did in the us but will the focusing on the people not the pigeon education through street theater. we're asking people not to feed
2:19 pm
the pigeons. that's because by feeding the pigeons in the square we're making them sick. they're getting sick because of overpopulation there's a large population of pigeons among the wildest of sort of. pretty scenes like this of hearts of local tradition for the time being at least pigeons look here to stay . ok now crystal joins me in pressures on one of germany's key industrial sectors can start over talk about german carmakers are a reader many in the industry have been saying that highly efficient fuel powered engines would be the go to take knowledge even in the future now that believe could now backfire leaders agreed that carbon dioxide emissions of new cars need. to be a lot lower by twenty thirty serving the german car industry a serious challenge. the german automobile industry is furious they say the target
2:20 pm
of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by thirty five percent is totally unrealistic unfulfillable according to the d.d.a. automotive industry association they say manufacturers have already exhausted all available fuel saving technology now jobs and the industry are in danger. it's more than regrettable that the majority of member states couldn't find the strength to balance climate protection and employment security and no part of the world are comparable goals in sight it means that international competition the european carmakers will labor under a heavier burden than their competitors. in the negotiation some countries like ireland for example suggested reducing carbon dioxide emissions by half an easy demand when one has no domestic auto industry. but even countries like france and italy with important car sectors lobbied for significant reduction in their auto makers concentrate more on smaller vehicles which him at lower levels of carbon
2:21 pm
dioxide. but is there a solution for the german industry. the targets are not said for every individual car so you can still see a fuel guzzling as you re on the one hand if you would one of two zero emission cars on the other hand so the fleet is the important thing and the german comic is have to come up as more solutions french called makers for example better in this field the french government already says we can reach forty percent easily though the germans have to catch up the stricter the targets the greater the pressure on manufacturers to sell more cars with zero emissions such as purely electric vehicles but as yet german manufacturers' don't have much to offer in that field and they don't have much time to catch up but the game. the global financial system is becoming increasingly unstable that's the conclusion of
2:22 pm
a report by the international monetary fund of the world bank we're currently meeting on the in the nation island of bali after the two institutions already lowered their global growth forecast they now say there are multiple heavy threats to the world financial stability. trade wars unsustainable das. the prospect of a no deal breakers these are just some of the risks to global financial stability mentioned in the i.m.f. reports. if you think it all signs pretty bleak take heart from the i.m.f. chief christine lagarde. what it is tempting to be a bit depressed about this perspective i am actually hopeful because there is a clear up or tight to improve and expand trade. think of the flurry of welcome discussions and proposals to strengthen the w.t. all think of all the new trade deals such as d.p.p.
2:23 pm
eleven the regional african trade agreement and the progress made on the us mexico canada deal what progress in some areas yes but all this against a backdrop of a trade war between the united states and china. the world bank had a sober message about it had a tit for tat terrorist spot between the world's top two economies could tap the contagion effect. protectionist trade policies can cause a chain reaction as more countries adopt similar measures. the global recovery is built on investment and there's a real danger that businesses will decide to wait for more clarity before engaging in new projects ten years after the last global financial crisis there's a whole new set of risks to the world economy. whether it's trade war is the question of up holding international banking regulations or britney leaving the
2:24 pm
e.u. to the court suggests that without political cooperation the cracks in the financial system will only widen. let's get more from our financial correspondent conrad boards on friday for a comrade first the growth rate gets slashed now the i.m.f. warns that the global financial system is at risk are people on germany's financial capital confident that the world leaders will listen to the second stark warning within twenty four hours. i can tell you many people here are hoping so i mean of course there's an elephant in the room the american president that if you listen to what christine legarde had to say about what's positive about the outlook must have been very difficult for her to find one positive thing to say about the u.s. administration by talking about this u.s. mexico canada deal a lot of the criticism that the i.m.f. came out with is targeting the united states or the policies of donald trump you
2:25 pm
know of course the trade policies but also the warning of those capital outflows from emerging markets is an indirect criticism of the united states policy you know to boost already strong economy with tax cuts this policy of course causes money to be sucked out of emerging economies in other places in the world into the united states which causes imbalances for the financial system and speaking of white house policy the trade spat between the united states and china as ask elating further with the u.s. representatives doubling down on accusing china of currency manipulation. well yes the accusation accusations have been out there for a while now stephen when the treasury secretary says that he and his. administration are looking closely at this tomorrow steve doocy as expected the new ship is expected to meet his chinese colleagues at this i.m.f.
2:26 pm
meeting in bali where the nation says he would address you know the potential currency manipulation by the chinese this is of course something that people in the financial markets are taking a very very close look at it sounds like an interesting meeting all of those in frankfurt thank you. whether it's the luxembourg leaks or the panama papers in the last couple of years have been full of revelations about. the super rich go to to avoid paying taxes such reports have spurred polish politicians to introduce measures designed to stop the practice but a report by the german institute for economic research suggests such policies have had only limited success the study's authors say loopholes remain widespread and point to the sophisticated methods financial advisors employ on behalf of their clients the european union loses an estimated seventy billion euros of tax evasion
