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 just that secretary of state mike pompei out to saudi arabia the e.u. has joined us calls for a transparent probe expects full clarity from investigations to be done by the sodium chloride list together and in full cooperation with the turkish shadow it is for mobile and international business leaders have been pulling out of a key investments summit due to be hosted by the crown prince in riyadh this month . hoping to ease strained ties with allies saudi king solomon on sunday spoke to

turkish president russian tieup adeline on the phone saudi t.v. said they struck a deal for a joint team to investigate constructions 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 mumps raising doubts about how much evidence is really left . our correspondent has the very latest on this for us from istanbul yulia what can you tell us about the reports that she 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 checks 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 you know 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 house sparks international outrage outcry against saudi arabia several nations have called have demanded i thought rowand 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 a 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 anstice ok you'll be on for us this morning in austin istanbul will have more from there including details that you'll use on to right now later in the day thanks very much and in the united states president trump says that the saudi king told him that during a phone call that he knew nothing about the shock she's disappearance from for his part suggested what he called rogue killers were to blame for the deaths. we are. going to leave nothing covered with that being said the king firmly denies any knowledge of it. he didn't really know maybe i don't want to get his mind but

it sounded to me like babies had a big row killers who know we're going to try getting to the bottom of a very few but his 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 was that endorsed by the saudi government there's a lot at stake here in terms of the u.s. saudi relationship and his statements are really bad 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 for there we have to remember that riyadh was actually the first foreign city that from 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 arms deal 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 and staying in the u.s. the clock is counting down on one of the most important dates on the american political calendar it's the u.s.

midterm elections of course and they're taking place just three weeks from today the most making history for the record breaking number of women nominated to run for governor or for congress. congressional races over recent years as you can see here more and more women are running there was a strong spike between twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen some are calling twenty eight hundred the year of the woman who kicked off our election coverage to bring you closer to some of the most watched women this electoral season we have an in-depth profile a number of them on four females grabbing the headlines this year first stop it's first time candidate alexandria ocasio cortez is the democratic congressional candidate from new york city's fourteenth district she wus always on the phenomena followed her on the campaign trail. alexandro cause a community activist publisher. running for congress in new york's fourteenth district she could become the youngest woman and the house of representatives. to

it these hired hands to kill the journalist concerned growing over the rule of law and. e.u. parliamentarians mangold visited the island on a fact finding mission for brussels after all what's happened i have of course no trust in the multis all forward tees the real murders of there have not been found . and we learned during the delegation that some evidence which was offered was not used. to have made many powerful enemies some suspect that they are now storing the investigation into her death importantly to have not been followed and in another setback the magistrate in charge of the investigation was promoted and taken off the case minister of justice insists that everything is being done. no no no do police is doing its utmost to route to solve this court ennius murder and i have to congratulate him for doing it for testing clearly they are doing. outside the

criticism of coach rock i'm nervous mounting as one poll shows ninety percent of german founds on amount of the job. it's no walk in the park for coach york removed these days germany trained inside to 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. as he 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're 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 fear i know it will be hard against the world champions but we had

a few chances when we drew against the new nick and so are you here in paris as a winner and get three points on the. top. but they face a french team that won the world cup by combining discipline defending with fast pace counter attacks and their title winning coach is keen to combat complacency. and you keep that in mind 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 objectives then 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. let's get our business now is all that uncertainty would saudi arabia is having

a lot of pressure on oil prices bottom up that they're rising brian. to rice that of course following the drift you talked about between the united states and saudi arabia over the disappearance and suspected murder of a dissident saudi journalist print groot rose twenty five cents to just over eighty one dollars this morning saudi arabia said it will strike back if it is sanctioned by the united states but scouting back or oil output well that's not a real threat because the country still desperately needs to keep the revenue stream from oil flowing as its customers now use less of it and they also have other sources. 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 game 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 a overall oil output across the globe so the us has alternatives it could make much if again it's a nuclear option for the saudis to the kingdom is still desperate for the revenues it needed to keep everything ticking over despite the reforms mate. 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.

food review setting up a showdown with brussels over rome's deficit spending plan would roll back a two thousand and eleven pension reform that raised the retirement age and it would provide a basic income to poor unemployed italians the measure is expected to cost seventeen billion euros together if in fact it the budget would target a deficit of two point four percent of g.d.p. and that's well above the guidance. well you probably all wondered about security off our internet connection most of us probably use programs on the likes but is that really enough to keep us and our web play safe not really as a recent survey shows here in germany most companies could and should to do more to secure their facility from cyber attacks. may be evidence never thought for a minute that his company would be the target of

a cyber attack two hundred fifty employees here build filter systems that clean oil and glue perkins' work that's not dependent on online networks. but is 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. in a moment. then asked what happens if the company does pay how can they be sure they won't come back with 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 hans was alarmed all the know how the results of your long development work are see 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 had to asia china it's easy to see how we could attract some things interest. of beginning. 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 states don't have access to the companies network and private messenger apps are taboo on company mobile phones. cyber security expert told us folk are 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 size companies in germany have made id security a top priority because there's not a company out there that hasn't been attacked the intensity in the stand might vary but you can assume that every company out there has to deal with spam mails or attacks on a daily basis. and. all and the danger is not only for computers

and laptops and bevan says firm companies smartphones are maintained centrally and can be remotely deleted if the last big one says now initiating regular security trainings for his employees. and here's a reminder now of the top stories we're following for you. u.s. media reports say saudi arabia may be preparing to admit that a journalist. was killed in its consulate. this comes after a joint. investigator at the consulate in istanbul. has not been seen since entering it two weeks ago. it was a good news coming live from berlin with more for you again at the top of the alley in the meantime you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site and. thanks for joining us.
