journalist was last seen walking into that same door nearly two weeks earlier turkish officials believe he was murdered and dismembered by his team. living in self-imposed exile in the u.s. was a vocal critic of the saudi regime rionda denies any involvement in his disappearance but u.s. media says the saudis are preparing to admit that he died during an interrogation of the consulate that went wrong amid mounting international pressure to explain what happened u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe travel to riyadh to discuss kushal g.'s disappearance with saudi king solomon for its part the e.u. is calling 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
12:03 pm
all it is the saudi kingdom allowing turkish inspectors to search the consulate is a step forward in the investigation but it was only after they let in saudi officials earlier on monday as well as a team of cleaners armed with mops raising doubts about how much evidence is really left. let's go right to due to abuse julia haunches standing by for us in front of the saudi consulate worker she was last seen here could see you what can you tell us about the reports that she was possibly killed during an interrogation. well of course we are following these u.s. media reports very closely but we can't confirm them yet from here where we are in turkey we are still waiting for more information for more evidence to emerge from the official investigation we just hear that there might be a second round a second search cheer at the saudi consulate right behind me investigators are
12:04 pm
reportedly also waiting for access to the consul's residence which is just a few meter a few hundred meters away from here investigators a turkish saudi team in fact basically spend all night in that building looking for evidence we were able to speak to one source close to the investigation and this source told us that to them clearly someone tried to obscure the evidence at the crime scene but investigators were still able to find and i quote credible evidence that she was indeed murdered inside the consulate according to this source so investigators took samples from the walls they took some garden soil they inspected the rooftop but the source did not comment on what kind of evidence they found in the end he's just said more tests need to be done but we know that turkish investigators were looking for d.n.a. for d.n.a. samples for example and also for blood traces of that also raises
12:05 pm
a question of why did the saudis wait two weeks before allowing turkish investigators to enter that consulate. well that's a good question and it might be that the pressure now just became so so high that they really have to react i mean this story has recalls an international outcry against saudi arabia several countries have demanded a store incredible investigation into mr disappearance a famous writer and journalist not only in saudi arabia but beyond merican lawmakers have threatened tough punitive action and several business leaders and media have pulled out of an important investment conference later this month in saudi arabia so pressure is growing and now that the saudis have agreed to this investigation something really needs to come out of this some kind of evidence forensic evidence for example some kind of statement or report the world's eyes are
12:06 pm
really on the saudis right now to produce some credible plausible. and you hear how much hassle strain turkish relations with the kingdom. as you can imagine relations are it's a very low point right now they have been strained anyways due to regional issues the khattala crisis for example so this is a very delicate issue it's going to be interesting to see how president out one tries to deal with it we expect the u.s. secretary of state mr pump aoe to arrive here in turkey after his visit in saudi arabia so we'll closely watch how this is going to develop. as you leon reporting for us from istanbul thank you very much. more of the story now with i have come out ahead of eurasia group's middle east and north africa research team in london he joins us on the line now my comp a.o.
12:07 pm
as we said is holding talks if you're going to get answers on the scale. well i think he's doing a lot more than talking i think that the u.s. effort here is to contain what is a really important or dangerous diplomatic crisis not only on the u.s. front but also with turkey so i think it's less about questions and more about finding a way out of this a way that is containable getting the investigation to produce results but in a way that does not create a diplomatic crisis for everyone involved for onkar riyad in washington that's something that the regime does not want and i think we are closer to to a result a clear is ultimate investigation today than we were in the past so that means you think that my pump a zero would be able to get concrete answers on what happened. i think his effort is less about finding answers here his effort is to to manage the diplomacy here there is an investigation and he's not there to ask riyadh specific questions is asking israel to cooperate with the turkish so far it is and that's beginning to
12:08 pm
happen after are gone and can some on had their conversation over the weekend so i think that the the saudi attitude in terms of corporation with the investigation has changed have seen that in the search of the consulate in istanbul so very very different dynamics the most important thing the secretary pompei will be working on is making sure that whatever the result of the investigation that we do not deal with a diplomatic crisis that really undermines the u.s. saudi relationship which is strategic and it's not easy to replace what about the saudis perspective here in the inner workings of the kingdom you know princeton solomon has painted himself as a progressive reformer that image has been clouded by a human rights record what is his role in this and how much pressure do you think he is under right now in riyadh. like think that everyone in saudi arabia is feeling the pressure in the media narrative over potential saudi involvement in
