struggling germany's take on world champs france tonight in a match that could also decide the fate of the battle coach talking to. me so much kind of good to have you with us u.s. secretary of state mike pompei it was holding emergency meetings with the leaders of saudi arabia about the missing dissident journalist jamal khashoggi the visits come as unconfirmed media reports from the u.s. suggest saudi arabia may be about to say that kushal she was killed in their consulate in turkey during an interrogation that went wrong on monday turkish officials searched the consulate building for eight hours. after a long night of searching for clues on how jamal khashoggi vanished turkish police left the saudi consulate in istanbul taking evidence with them. the

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. because shoghi 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 she 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. we expect for clarity from investigations to be done by the saudi authorities together and in full cooperation with the turkish at

all it is this 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 did of yours yulia honcho standing by for us in front of the saudi consulate worker she was last seen here good to see you what can you tell us about the reports that kushal she was possibly killed during an interrogation. one of course we're 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 here at the saudi consulate right of behind me investigators are

reportedly also waiting for access to the consul's residence which is just a few meters 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 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 just said more tests need to be done but we know the turkish investigators were looking for d.n.a. for d.n.a. samples for example and also for blood traces of that also raises

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 star all incredible investigation into miss official she is a disappearance of a famous writer and journalist not only in saudi arabia but beyond american 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

really on the saudis right now to produce some credible plausible says views you leon reporting for us from istanbul thank you very much. more on the story now with i have come out ahead of eurasia groups middle east and north africa research team in london he joins us on the line now my pump a.o. as we've said is holding talks is he going to get answers on this case 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 just 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 we are going to washington that's something that they must ration does not want and i think we are closer to two results actually resulted in mystic asian today than it we were in the past so

that means you think that my pompei a would be able to get concrete answers on what happened. i think his effort is less about finding answers or his effort is to to manage the diplomacy here there is an investigation and he's not there to ask riyadh specific questions he's asking earlier to cooperate with the turkish of ortiz and that's beginning to 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 seemed in the search of the consulate in istanbul so very very different dynamics the most important thing 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 i haven't come

out of your racial groups middle east or north africa research team thank you so much for joining us. now to some other stories making news around the world the united nations has warned that the number of those at risk of famine in yemen could rise to twelve million some eight point five million people there are already on the brink of starvation the country has been torn apart by more than three years of fighting between the internationally recognized government and who the rebels. french president has reshuffle the cabinet choosing a high profile political ally for the key post of interior minister christophe custom network places who quit unexpectedly earlier this month now commentators say the move is an attempt to revive his administration after a tumultuous few models. police in germany are investigating whether a man who took a woman hostage in cologne on monday had islamist connections or beliefs police shot and injured the hostage taker during an operation to free the woman all train
