tocome or bartender is capturing the imagination of some democrats in new york alexandria ocasio cortez could become the youngest woman in the house of representatives after the next month's midterm elections in the u.s. but she's also causing controversy. and in football struggling germany take on the world champs of france tonight in a match that could also decide the fate up in battles coach york you know. you. see me so much going to it's good to have you with us u.s. secretary of state mike compare 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 that saudi arabia might 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 shoji was a vocal critic of the saudi regime riyadh 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 might come peo 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. expect to clarity from investigations to be done by the sodium chloride is together at in full cooperation with the turkish not only does 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 on the left where kushal she was last seen or could see you what can you tell us about the reports that she was possibly killed during an interrogation. when 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 here at the saudi consulate right behind me investigators are reportedly also waiting for access to the consul's residence which is just a few meter 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's 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 you know it 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 had to react i mean this story has really caused an international outcry against saudi arabia several countries have demanded a star owen credible investigation into mr she is a disappearance 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 give us your 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 mike pump a.o. as we 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. search here is to contain what is 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 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 nutrition does not want and i think we are closer to two results the result of the investigation 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 here 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 israel 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 we're seeing that in the search of the consulate in istanbul so very very different dynamics the most important thing because secretary pompei will be working on is making sure that whatever the result of the investigation that we do not deal with the diplomatic crisis that really undermines the u.s.

saudi relationship which is strategic and it's not easy to replace him come out how does your age groups middle east and north africa research team thank you so much for joining us. now to some other stories making headlines around the world french president a man one markel has rich shuffled his cabinet choosing a high profile political ally for the key post of interior minister christophe cut costs and he replaces joe hockey who quit unexpectedly earlier this month commentators say the move is an attempt by mccall to revive his administration after a tumultuous few months. nigeria's government says boko haram militants have killed a second aide worker they were holding hostage how well the man worked in a hospital supported by the international red cross one of her colleagues was killed last month the two women were kidnapped in the northeastern town of brandon march along with another health worker nigeria has condemned the murder. the

criticism of the coach rocking live is mounting as one poll shows ninety percent of german fans want him out of the job. it's no walk in the park for a coach these days germany trained inside the start of 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. task here is to put in a different performances and 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 no 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. and get three points. but they face a french team that won the world cup by combining discipline defending with fast pace counterattacks their title winning coaches kings of combat complacency. 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 a goal they failed to school in their last three competitive matches. three

is that worldwide extreme poverty defined as living on less than a dollar ninety a day has fallen drastically in the last three decades the bad news that extreme poverty is now concentrating in fast growing africa. by two thousand and fifty almost ninety percent of the world's extreme poor are expected to live in sub-saharan africa many of them in the democratic republic of congo and i geria does the call from gates for more aid more resources and more investment while the world's done a great job getting people out of extreme poverty but it's going to be a huge challenge in africa with the population growth the disease burden there are so our innovation in new tools our aid generosity we're going to have to do an even better job in africa than we've ever done in the past sustainable practices across the west are also a focus is even in somalia i've personally seen in somalia and in the chad region
