saudi crown prince earlier turkish officials searched the consulate building. after a long night of searching for clues on how jamal khashoggi vanished turkish police left the saudi consulate in istanbul they took evidence with them including soil having been given access to the building for the first time. because shock she was last seen walking into that same door nearly two weeks earlier takesh officials believe he was murdered and dismembered by a hit team. living in self-imposed exile in the u.s. she was a vocal critic of the saudi regime. riyadh denies any involvement in the journalist's disappearance. but u.s. broadcasts to c.n.n. is reporting that the saudis are preparing to admit that because shock she died during an interrogation at the consulate that went wrong. that's amid mounting

international pressure to explain what happened here. the. u.s. president donald trump has threatened severe punishment if she was killed. and he dispatched secretary of state mike pompei out to saudi arabia the e.u. has joined us calls for a transparent probe expects for clarity from investigations to be done by the saudi authorities together and in full cooperation with the turkish at all it is. and international business leaders have been pulling out of a key investments i meant you to be hosted by the crown prince and riyadh this month. because hoping to ease strained ties with allies saudi king solomon on sunday spoke to turkish president russian tire have added one on the phone saudi

t.v. said they struck a deal for a joint team to investigate construction is fate. the kingdom allowing turkish inspectors to search the consulate is a step forward in the investigation but it was after they let in saudi officials earlier on monday. as well as a team of kleeneze with mops raising doubts about how much evidence is really left . our correspondent has the very latest on this for us from istanbul yuliya what can you tell us about the reports that cheney was killed apparently during an interrogation in that building. well this is why c.n.n. and the new york times as well are reporting now that the saudis are preparing a report admitting that mr was killed during an interview rotation that went wrong

that he was originally supposed to be abducted to the kingdom the report also suggests the saudis will find scapegoats to blame this on in order to shield to protect crown prince part on mohammed bin some on we are following these reports very closely but i can't confirm them yet from over here in turkey what i can tell you more about is the investigation that is going on here a team of turkish saudi crime scene investigators basically spent all night searching the saudi consulate here in istanbul they left off to nine hours in the early morning we were able to speak to one person involved in this investigation on the condition of anonymity and this person this source told us that when they entered the consulate they saw that someone had clearly try to obstruct the evidence but they were still able and i quote to find some concrete traces concrete

evidence and no comment was made on what kind of evidence this might be we know that the turkish investigators were looking for d.n.a. were looking for blood traces which would of course support the claim made by the turkish authorities that mr was indeed killed inside the saudi consulate the source further told us that they will conduct more tests now before going public ok and we'll see if and when that is released what about the timing here yulia why in saudi arabia allowed turkish officials to enter its consulate building where you are there in istanbul two weeks after her disappearance. well this case really has sparked international outrage outcry against saudi arabia several nations have called have demanded i thorough and credible investigation into his a disappearance of business leaders and media have pulled out of an important investment investment meeting that is set to take place later this month in saudi

arabia american lawmakers most importantly maybe have threatened a tough punitive action against saudi arabia it remains to be seen what president trump will be doing but pressure has come simply a groan and is still growing there is a lot of pressure right now on the kingdom to produce. ok you'll be on for us this morning in austin istanbul will have more from there including details of your years on to right now later in the day thanks very much while president donald trump says that the saudi arabian leader mohamed bill sammon told him during a phone call that he knew nothing about our churches disappearance from for his part suggest that rogue killers were to blame for the deaths. we are. going to leave nothing on covered with that exact became firmly denied any knowledge of it. he didn't really know maybe i don't want to get

a good sign but it sounded to me like babies had a big row killers oh no we're going to try getting to the bottom of a very few but it was a flat denial. and with a view from washington my schwager joins us now from there mara it sounds like the president is indorsing in emerging saudi explanation for how died how have people been reacting where you are to these comments. trump is definitely under a lot of pressure not just from within the u.s. but also from international partners to investigate this and he has said that there will be an investigation and that he has indicated that he wants to be taking this seriously but we have to remember trump wants to be close to the saudis and he seems to want to believe. the saudis are absolved of any wrongdoing here he seems

to want to push forward this idea that oh maybe this was a mistake maybe this wasn't the saudis maybe this wasn't endorsed by the saudi government there's a lot at stake here in terms of the u.s. saudi relationship and his statements have really been all over the place as we know his secretary of state is on his way to saudi arabia right now to meet with saudi leaders and see exactly what's going to what's going to come out of this and see exactly which version of the story the u.s. administration is going to end up indorsing but trump for his part looks like he least wants to believe that this was not the saudi government's fault ok you know to find out more secretary of state mike pompei is now on his way to riyadh can we expect him to return with the answers the president did not get in his phone call with the saudi leader. it looks like what they're going to be looking for in riyadh is more just diplomatic cover to push forward the u.s.

saudi relationship further we have to remember that riyadh was actually the first foreign city that trump visited as president rather than a more traditional choice like ottawa or mexico city he has been very very insistent about bringing the u.s. and saudi arabia closer together and this whole affair has put the u.s. government in quite a tricky position having to move against this government that they've been wanting to be closer allies with especially when it comes to things like this are busy all that's on the table trump has been very insistent that he wants to push this deal forward and saudi arabia seems to want to go through it as well and this is very much standing in the way of that ok a lot at stake for saudi arabia of course march waiter for us from washington thanks very much mark well here in germany police are investigating whether a man who took a woman hostage in a pharmacy in cologne yesterday was motivated by terrorism police shot and injured

the hostage taker during an operation to free that woman or train traffic was halted leading to delays and cancellations across western germany. cologne central station where police may have foiled terrorist attack special forces rushed to the scene after a man threw a moment of tail inside a fast food restaurant and held a woman hostage thirty's evacuated the station suspended train services and called the area. special forces then strong the station and freed the hostage who had minor injuries police say the suspect had demanded itchiness seeing women be freed from custody. near to the form order that supports the idea that it was more than a hostage taking. with around camping gas canisters in the area the perpetrator was holding the hostage the gas for two were stuck together with it easier to hate.

with neighbor banged at the crime scene investigators found a document belonging to a fifty five year old syrian man who's known to the authorities for previous offenses police say it's not certain he was the hostage taker investigations are set to continue for some time. ok and police are not dismissing terrorism as a motivation or political correspondent you know hasse's on the story for us morning what more can you tell us about the suspect and and his possible motivations well what we heard from the police was that those documents that were found that belonged to that fifty five year old syrian and they also include a circle tolerance permit so that man these documents were found on the ground we're not clear whether that is the suspect or not but that man has a tolerance permit here as a refugee until twenty twenty one and we hear from the police that eye witnesses said that when he entered the pharmacy he called out he belonged to dies which is

the arabic name of course for the terror group yes which raises some questions on suspicions because actually dias is not a name that people belonging to i.a.s. would use in fact it was banned in the areas controlled by us so ok well the police response was overwhelming police were not taking any chances at all how prepared is germany right now for tourism. well terrorism is a threat but generally is not as affected by that threat as other european countries such as france for example yet the interior minister at the time to most images said last year that. they are acting a lot faster than they used to because of course it's basically the threat from islam missed suspects has risen yet again you have to remember that right wing extremism still continues to be the biggest threat at least when you look at the number of casualties and you know i was looking into this for us this morning thanks very much you know time now for some of the other stories making the news

washington bureau chief alexander phenomena talked to her on the painter. alexandro cause their protest community activist publisher bottom running for congress in new york's fourteenth district she could become the youngest woman and the house a proposal and there's. a rally in the crowd to record the restaurant and the bra. you contest knows almost everyone here she shocked her party when she almost a ten term incumbent congressman and the democratic primary for her this is just the beginning it's all about every day people honey together and believing and their ability to change their time for. the bronx nativist now a political rock star. she was like born and raised in the neighborhood which is a body from the bronx and i just love like this community activism and getting

involved she's bold she's progressive she's not afraid to you know take her ideals and the platform that she believes in and really take it to where it needs to go and to really galvanize people towards back. i'll examine because a contest inspires her supporters but puts the fear of god into the establishment of the democratic party the party's leaders insisted nationwide elections are won by embracing the center of society and by avoiding any positions that might scare whites middle class voters by the people here are convinced the opposite is true they say that the party has to become a credible voice with social justice we are currently at a point where in new york city there are three empty luxury apartments for every one person experiencing homelessness we are at a point where people are are spreading apart their insulin. medication where they are foregoing thing critical medication that they need

an educated uninformed uncommitted. alexandra because you could have a standing her ground and she is highly favored to win this district in november for many here she is just a politician they have been waiting for for a very long time. and. we have some football now in england pulled off a big surprise in their nation leagues match against spain. sterling scored twice as in one sealed a three two victory in the spanish city of seville spite the loss spain still remain top of the group while germany's national football team has yet to bounce back from this year's disastrous world cup on saturday they lost three nil to the netherlands and now they face world champions france in the nation's league tonight criticism of coach welcome love is mounting as one poll shows ninety percent of

germans want to out of the job. it's no walk in the park for a coach these days germany trained inside the stop to france on monday after their debacle in amsterdam they need to bounce back against the world champions another heavy loss could spell the end of his tenure. if you just more. task here is to put in a different performances executed well. everything else has to be blanked out of. course i have to take the criticism but i can handle it well and. the players also know that they are culpable for the poor performance against the netherlands countless chances were wasted and the defense looks vulnerable to counter attacks a few personnel changes will be made but goalkeeper manuel neuer will keep his place after a blunder is known will be hard against the world champions but we had a few chances when we drew against the new nick and so are anyone here in paris as

a winner and get three points. but they face a french team that won the world cup by combining discipline defending with fast pace counter attacks and their title winning coaches kings of combat complacency. and you keep at it i'm certainly not expecting the german team to be passive quite the opposite considering the players and the experience there is in that team france versus germany matches are never easy but we have the same objective is them when the three points to bring us closer to our goal of finishing top of our group . for now germany's main objective is getting our goal they failed to score in their last three competitive matches. the big game tonight following our business now in oil prices are being hit by those tensions have been reporting and they hit brian all futures continue to rise following

a rift between the u. . saudi arabia over the disappearance and suspected murder of a dissident saudi journalist. brant crude rose twenty five cents to eighty one point three dollars. on tuesday morning saudi arabia says that it will strike back if it is sanctioned by the united states but cutting back on oil output is not a real threat the country still desperately needs to keep the revenue streaming from all flowing as its customers now use less of it and half of a source of. oil has long meant that saudi arabia has money to burn but a drop in prices over the last couple years convinced the kingdom's rulers that they needed another source of income. that's the idea behind saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon so-called vision twenty thirty program the ambitious scheme

aims to diversify the country's holdings and diminish its dependence on fossil fuels but oil remains a useful geo political tool with the saudis veiled threat to cut production should the u.s. impose sanctions but there's doubt it could work in the sort of nine hundred situation again i pick share of global operations continue to decline is not about a third of overall oil output across the closer the u.s. has alternatives it could make much if again it's a nuclear option for the saudis to the kingdom is still desperate for all revenues that need it to everything ticking over despite the reforms made. so both the us and the saudis are hoping for a diplomatic solution to avoid a clash over oil the us wants to preserve ongoing weapons contracts for the saudis and the saudis need western technology and expertise to wean their economy off oil . well here in europe italy has submitted its controversial budget plan to the e.u. for review setting up a showdown with brussels over rome's deficit spending plan would roll back

a two thousand and eleven pension reform that raise the retirement age and it would provide a basic income to poor unemployed italians all measures expected to cost seventeen billion euros altogether even actors of the budget would target a deficit of two point four percent of g.d.p. while a buff guidance. however wonders about the security of your internet connection well most of us probably use antivirus programs and the likes but it is is that enough to keep us and a weapon safe not really a recent survey here in germany shows it shows most companies could add should do more to secure their facility from cyber attacks. be able to never thought for a minute there is a company would be the target of a cyber attack two hundred fifty employees here will filter systems that clean oil and lubricants work that's not dependent on the networks. but his tax consultant

once told bit once about hackers who hijack computers how they demand money or they publish the company's data then the plot to the story thickened. off with us but then i asked what happens if the company does pay how can they be sure they won't come back the answer was that they have a reference list of all the companies that they packed in the area and haven't bothered to. be hundreds was alarmed all the know how the results of your long development work are seat on this company's computers. no names of the companies know how is the life of the company and if you take into account that seventy percent of our business is in exports fifty percent of that heading to asia china it's easy to see how we could attract some things interest. the managing director how does entire system reexamined where our data stored who has

access is how could viruses and trojans be smuggled in now u.s.b. sticks are only available from the companies i t. department other sticks don't have access to the company's network and private messenger apps are taboo on company mobile phones. cyber security expert would like to see many more cyber security experts at the mechanical engineering industry association he advises member companies and designed special cyber insurance policies only half of the small and medium sized companies in germany have made security a top priority if there's not a company out there that hasn't been attacked the intensity and the extent might vary but you can assume that every company out there has to deal with savannah mails or attacks on a daily basis. and the danger is not only for computers and laptops and even says firm company smart phones are maintained centrally and

can be remotely deleted if lost be evidence is now initiating regular security trainings for his employees. and is a reminder of the top stories we're following. media reports from the united states say saudi arabia maybe crip airing to admit that a journalist. was killed in its consulate in turkey the unconfirmed reports by c.n.n. and the new york times come up to a joint team all turkish and saudi investigators searched the consulate in istanbul . not been seen since entering the building two weeks ago. it was news coming to you live from berlin more coming up again at the top of the hour in the meantime don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site and that is d.w. dot com i want to get john's and dylan thanks for joining.
