this is the focus of this year's world today against the death penalty. violence whether michael described by forecast as a stream be dangerous as the gulf coast of florida in the united states use of a million people to leave. the program so media have published c.c.t.v. footage of an alleged saudi arabian hit squad suspected of involvement in the disappearance of washington post columnist jamal khashoggi a mystery it's not been seen since he entered the saudi consulate eight days ago other footage shows what security services say is a fifteen member saudi intelligence team arriving in istanbul a day before the journalist to disappear from the consulate the u.s. says it is ready to. the investigation into his disappearance u.s.

president donald trump said he's talked to saudi authorities at the highest level to demand answers. let's get more on this from dorian jones in istanbul welcome doria so turkey was given permission yesterday to search the consulate what came out of that are we any clearer about jamal khashoggi whereabouts. and well not really in fact there's been very little information given about this search and even how thorough the search has been allowed to be. saudi consulate where the forensic experts were but i think samples away no details have been given about the search and what has been found so as of yet still no firm evidence about what happened to the journalist jamal khashoggi so i would tell us more than about the footage that has been released of these men thought to be saudi agents. well yeah this is really the main focus of turkish investigations into can show his

disappearance they are believed to be linked to the saudi intelligence forces and special forces. claim that they have secured the identities of all of those who are visiting and they do one of them it's been identified as a forensic expert this has led to speculation you can possibly involved in the dismembering of the body which was then taken out in one of the black ground belonging to the saudi consulate another point of. of importance for the turkish investigation these two found c.c.t.v. coverage has been focused on where those fans went and it's believed that this saudi teligent force used those fans in possibly the disposal of body or possibly his rendition back to riyadh but riyadh is insisting he has no part in the disappearance of course and said that there is no firm evidence proving that it is involved the world's a complicated place these days dorian just talk us through the conflicting

diplomatic notes that this is tying the three countries into turkey saudi arabia and the united states. well you know i mean this happens at a point when the relations between on current riyadh are at rock bottom these two regional powers have been butting heads all across the region and relations are in a very difficult place but it has to be said at the same time saudi arabia is a very important trading partner for turkey and turkey doesn't want to jeopardize those relations because the turkish economy is in a place so it is increasingly looking to washington for support in its stance against putting pressure on riyadh to the father on crays aware that it is pretty much isolated in the middle east it needs the support of washington but here there is a problem because president trump does have very good relations with crown prince mohammed bin solomon and those two leaders do get on very well close ties of working in the region and also important trade ties at the same time donald trump has very bad relations with the turkish president reject type old one in fact relations there

are rock bottom so it is a complicated picture but is looking for washington for support in standing up to riyadh as well as year up without that support in a very difficult position during journeys in istanbul thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world turkey's coast guard is searching for twenty five migrants believed to be missing in the g. and c. after their boat capsized and sank eight bodies have been recovered reports say an iraqi woman on board swam ashore and raised the alarm. prosecutors in peru have detained opposition leader keiko fujimori as part of an investigation into money laundering that's according to a fujimori's lawyer you're looking at video of her testimony a year ago in front of a parliamentary inquiry into alleged illegal political contributions from a brazilian construction firm. a tradition of great controversy but it was the

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. in television images like these of a former police chief being sentenced to death for murder and bribery last year are extremely rare q if you think you know these trials happen behind closed 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 then all of 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
