holding emergency meetings with the leaders of saudi arabia about the missing dissident journalist jamal khashoggi the visit comes 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. u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe travel to riyadh for crisis talks with king solomon and other saudi leaders the kingdom faces mounting pressure to explain the fate of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi who was last seen walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul two weeks ago turkish officials believe he was murdered and dismembered by his team turkish investigators were allowed to search the building on monday but only after saudi officials and

a team of cleaners armed with mops had been let in. turkey as the president wretch of time aired a one cent police were examining different types of evidence. my hope is that we can reach conclusions that will give us a reasonable opinion a soon as possible because the investigation is looking into many things such as toxic materials and those materials being removed by painting them over. turkish investigators say they'll continue their probe on tuesday expanding their search to include the residence of the saudi consul as well as consulate vehicles riyadh has been denying any involvement in the journalist disappearance but a number of u.s. media sources say the saudis are preparing to admit that because she died during an interrogation at the consulate that went wrong. let's get the very latest now with

his yulia han she is standing by for us in front of the saudi consulate worker was last seen yulia what can you tell us about these reports that he was possibly killed during an interrogation. well turkey's foreign minister. was asked by journalists about the u.s. media reports and he replied that turkey turkey's all sora t's a had not been offered any confession by the saudis let me quote him here he says we have no such information and he also added consulates aren't places to hold interrogation so no confirmation for these reports yet here from turkey we are of course waiting here in front of the saudi consulate for more evidence more facts to emerge from the official investigation it has been confirmed now that there is going to be as a second surge in the saudi consulate any time soon investigators are also waiting

for access to the saudi consuls residence the first search actually last that as you mentioned eight to nine hours and we have been speaking to a source familiar with the investigation and this souls told us that they have been collecting samples you know from the walls from the garden soil they have been inspecting the roof even according to their assessments somebody clearly had try to obscure evidence at the crime scene still they say they found and i quote concrete evidence that suggests. there was indeed a murdered inside this building behind me now we have no information on what kind of evidence that this might be they just say further tests need to be done but we know turkish investigators all specifically looking for d.n.a. samples and blood traces ular what about the timing of these searches why did saudi arabia now agree to allow in turkish investigators. well it

seems to be international pressure really that's so what observers that's what analysts here tell me i mean this story this case has caused a major international outcry against saudi arabia several nations have demanded a credible investigation into his disappearance he was after all a well known writer not only in saudi arabia a but beyond now we hear that more and more media and business executives are pulling out of a major investment conference later this month in saudi arabia we have the turkish authorities the turkish police releasing bits and pieces of information and evidence so now really the pressure on saudi arabia has been growing the world is watching the media attention is high so saudi arabia needs to come up with credible answer as did abuse you leon for us in istanbul thank you. let's get more on u.s. saudi relations now relating to this case i have come out as the head of eurasia

group's middle east and north africa research team in london and he joins us on the line now what are the u.s. and saudi arabia looking to get out of these talks with my pump a.o. is that a clear answer on what happened to jamal khashoggi. i think the primary consideration here is a forty year crisis and i can tell you is in reality to find a strategy whereby rio and washington don't face a situation in which they're put in a corner where congress is faced with a difficult decision where actions are introduced against saudi arabia but i think the conversation with ankara has been roughly in the same direction and it's as if they are complaining this as much as possible riyadh is in a difficult position but i think diplomatically their first here is to contain this he said riyadh's in a difficult position how much pressure has this crisis put the kingdom under. i'm going to say the first time in which we face real crisis very difficult time

decision any relationship the u.s. is not counted and company ministration does not have control over congress on this issue and especially given the turks push towards a very clear acknowledgment of hardship she has disappeared or that he did call for the to stumble and was responsible for forward on a future investment summit can we are the freezing from conservation so we'll see that just confidence in the reform vision might decrease but i just don't think it's going to be a crisis that does not good good crystal so probably will be escalated in the next few days all right i am come out ahead of eurasia group's middle east and north africa research team thank you very much let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world nigeria's government says boko haram militants have killed a second aid worker they were holding hostage how aleem on 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 in march along with another health worker nigeria has contempt condemned the murder 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. a german journalist who returned to turkey to clear her name on charges of terrorism has secured the lifting of a travel ban against her husband michel are told and so at cornel appeared before a court in istanbul where they're being tried told it was allowed to leave the country in august having served an eight month prison sentence last year. the u.s. midterm elections are taking place just three weeks from today the votes making history for the record breaking number of women nominated to run for governor or for

congress looking at congressional races in recent years it is clear that more and more women are running there was a strong spike between two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and eighteen and some are calling two thousand and eighteen the year of the woman to kick off our election coverage bringing you closer to some of the most closely watched women this electoral season we have a in-depth profiles on four females grabbing the headlines this year and first up is the first time candidate alexandria ocasio courtis she became an overnight sensation in the u.s. after pulling off an upset in the primaries to become the democratic congressional candidate from new york city's fourteenth district. out sound for a nominee caught up with her on the campaign trail. alexandro cause there contests community activist publisher. running for congress in new york's fourteenth district she could become the youngest woman and the house of representatives. a

rally in the crowd to record the restaurant and the bra. contests knows almost everyone she shocked her party when she almost attempt term incumbent congressman and the democratic primary for her this is just the beginning it's all about every day people coming together and believing and their ability to change this country. the bronx native is now a political rock star. she was like border is the neighborhood 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 pride deals and the platform that she believes in and really take it to where it needs to go and to really galvanize people towards that goal. alexandria cause or contests inspires her supporters and 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 by avoiding any positions that might scare white middle class voters by the people who 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 because they don't feel like they have the financial ability. to stay alive cortez some have fellow activists once universal health care a federal jobs guarantee to ition free universities campaigning in the neighborhood they are reassured that these issues do matter here.

already. i was awfully. good shoes really. but too many on the right alexandra because you cortez is a dangerous revolutionary who calls herself a democratic socialist who pledges not to accept any money from corporations it was it's hard especially when i was running and it is it feels almost impossible. people are ignoring you or they are calling you naive or they're calling you. an educated uninformed uncommitted. ok. because you cortez is standing her ground and she is highly favored to win the state district in november by many here she is just to hold the commission they have been waiting for for a very long time. that

is. right ben is here with business and ben the e.u. is not happy about italy's expansionary budget not at all sumi the european commission president says italy must stick to its commitments from managed to get its draft budget in on time by midnight last night along with all other eurozone member states but the commission's being warning italy's proposed deficit represents a significant deviation from its agreed economic path populist government wants to stimulate the economy with a spending hike of thirty six point seven billion euros next year most two thirds of that would be funded by higher deficit a much higher deficit that is two point four percent of gross domestic product all the programs that it wants to fund sound nice raising the retirement age basic income for the poor but there are fees these measures a looming date similar standing by for us in rome let's start with the

economy minister zagi meant that this budget will boost growth and not dead how valid is that well that's certainly what the government is thinking will be the case they believe by spending more they will actually be able to offset the slowing economy here in that sea and also alleviate poverty and that's why did put in place this basic income for the poor as well as tax cuts for the self-employed and cutting the retirement age of the a populous resentment not just yet but you countries as well i think a lot will depend on what happens in the next two weeks the economy minister is going to be selling his case to the e.u. and it's he's prime minister will be meeting the leaders of germany and france as well as you just to put forward the act case the rationale for this kind of budget see the one thing i'd like to know the media's been talking a lot about italy's debt growing and the fact that italy already has a mountain of debt is there

a plan by the government or any willingness to actually reduce that it. well if you look at the budget proposal that's been put forward their full cost believes that by putting in place these expansionary measures growth will rebound and therefore the debt will be reduced as well as the deficit will fall so that really is very contrasting viewpoints and as you mentioned it's going to be a very interesting couple of weeks ahead to see how you respond to this of the should be and how the italian government is going to take that having said very clearly that they're not willing to back down seem a very interesting days thank you very much for filling us in batteries made in europe that's a dream the european commission wants to turn into reality it plans to invest two hundred million euros in the development of more powerful battery cells over the next two years europe lags way behind asia and then you wish.

the volkswagen id vision is due to hit the markets in only four years fully electric and with a range of six hundred fifty kilometers carmakers are eager to depict any missions for the future where all the it goes are powered by electricity by twenty twenty five v.w. says it plans to have eighty new electric cars on the market but where will the batteries come from probably asia that's where over eighty percent of all rechargeable batteries are made because the world seems dedicated to electric future there's a gold rush mood and production is in overdrive but there are too many batteries for the current demand and prices are low as a result and that makes it hard to set up a competitive industry here in europe but that's what the european commission wants up to forty percent of an electric cars value is in its battery so it makes sense to get in on those potential profits that's why volkswagen has invested around one

hundred million dollars in to us battery specialist quantum scape quantum scape builds a solid state batteries and german car makers say that is the future right now the batteries only work in the lab they are far more powerful than current technology but they have a way to go before they hit the market. fifteen germany is this next big test well definitely been we've also know the team germany the football team hasn't had the best year at all and they're looking to bounce back from the disastrous world cup on saturday they lost three nil to the netherlands now they face world champs france in the nation's league tonight criticism of the coach shocking 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 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 than

a task here is to put in a different path and execute it 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 our aim here in paris was 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 coach is keen to 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 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 a goal they failed to score in their last three competitive matches. let's bring in jonathan crane he's in paris and will be heading to the big match later on hi jonathan germany can't seem to score anymore what's gone wrong. well i think it's better to ask what's gone right at the moment and the answer to that is really not very much you mentioned that stout failing to school in the last three competitive games that's actually a wrecked course which they've only won three of the last twelve and for a country of germany's footballing stature that really isn't good enough now what's

gone wrong specifically well after the broke up i think you're going to try to focus on defense that was where he was putting most was attention he moved us to a kimmage that's for more defensive midfield position and in the pits were dressed up but it's really left germany potency up front there they were creating chances against netherlands they failed to capitalize and really didn't look too dangerous and i think that's something they're really going to need to turn around and the big question is what's going to happen to the coach how much pressure is he under. he's under or full amounts of pressure the german media have really got the knives out for him builds the math. says it's time for him to kick. magazine all seeing what's new because since the world cup hasn't really changed much around and i think this is where most of the criticism has come from he's decided to stick with the old guard the players that won him the world cup in twenty forty and a lot of people i'll look why aren't you giving some new players

a chance you've got a lot of young talent the likes of. brands and they come make germany's starting eleven at night and i think what germany and you can have in particular discovering is you cannot keep a winning team together forever. you know germany are struggling as we said jonathan and now they're facing the best team in the world the champions france is this the worst possible timing. yes and no it's bad obviously across france all the world champions but since the broke out they haven't been playing to rally that they. really need them back to that stop play it's a rescue or drill for them against iceland in a friendly a few days ago but i think that underlines the frontside house players like a kid in about that is always going to be dangerous and he really underlines what germany missing from their side a young player plenty of your talent with pace you can really run at you and scads of friends so it's not going to be an easy game but then no one is expecting germany to win i think. a winner or draw for germany given the current situation

would be seen as a positive thing it's a feat affronts probably expected a heavy defeat i think is what would really put the pressure on you probably for the german football federation so here's the question jonathan do you think you will still be the coach of germany a figure of twenty twenty. i think a lot depends what happens in the nations league sort of and if germany get relegated from the nation very embarrassing and i think the federation would then need to address that but sacking left does reflect badly on the german circle federation because if you remember they extended his contract before the world cup and they very publicly backs him off to it so basically you can charge is also a reflection of what the german football federation thing and some people will be all see what if you sack gloves then maybe you should start looking at the german football federation who's in charge there as well all right jonathan crane in paris the head of that big match tonight thank you jonathan.

now it is fifty years to the day since american athletes tommy smith and john carlos gave a black power salute on the medal podium at the mexico city olympics their civil rights protest led to them being expelled from the games and ostracized in the sports community half a century later many people see them as heroes but carlos thanks progress has been too slow. john carlos takes off a cap which says it's all an image that needs no words. his black power salute along with fellow american tommy smith at the nine hundred sixty eight olympics shocked the world and largely ended their athletics careers now carlos has returned to mexico city to reminisce about the civil rights protest despite much being achieved since carlos remains troubled. through your work. for you.

know. the first. following calling kappa next take a knee protest the n.f.l. player cannot find a team in the league says he's not been cast out because of his civil rights action but in a recent nike advert happen except he sacrificed everything for something he believed in. converse lee tommy smith was forced to turn to american football after his ban for the salute which followed winning the two hundred meters gold in mexico he told d.w. news earlier this year that sport can continue to be a legitimate form of protest don't foresee athletes as as role models as actors and i think the athletes all. due to the people who are watching them and trying to take on a role such as them smith and carlos paid heavily for their protest but they became

role models for an entire generation. now it was the fiercest storm to hit florida in a quarter century but as hurricane michael slammed into the sunshine state last week a little ray of sunshine was born he's a baby porcupine and staff at the zoo world in panama city beach discovered the new arrival when they checked in on their porcupine following the hurricane now his name is mike quill which is a reference both to the name of the hurricane and a quilt on his back she is certain to take florida by storm. you're watching news still to come getting photographed by celebrity photographer rankin or waltzing with andre rieu these are some of the things experienced by your max team as they produced this week's special edition. but coming up first after a short break it's been

a year since the best known investigative journalist was killed by a car bomb what has happened since and how the perpetrators really been brought to justice our reporter went looking for answers that's when we come right back. with. a treasure that was almost eradicated by bombs these seeds from rare plants this state is syrian born. scientists rescued them in time. know they're being stored below the ice in the arctic. salvaging syria's sea.

people who have something to share. with others i must find at the salon i know a good quality here when i see it and a good story when i hear it. my name is elizabeth and i work at steve's out. the. welcome back you're watching new start top story the u.s. secretary of state arrives in saudi arabia for crisis talks about missing dissident journalist jamal khashoggi my compatriot was meeting with the kingdom's leaders to discuss the growing scandal surrounding the fate of kushal chief who vanished in turkey two weeks ago the u.n. says all parties must come clean about what they know. now it's been a year since multo best known investigative journalist stephanie cutter want to go

was killed by a car bomb police charged three men with the murder but critics say those who ordered the attack are still at large and are being protected the government denies any wrongdoing in the investigation but the e.u. says it has lost faith in the country's leaders w.'s melanie cora devolve reports from malta. remembering her hero one year after her murder activist meant the journalist death. on the activities of the corrupt and criminal. why did she have to die she did not die because she lived she died because she told the truth and she was uncovering too many uncomfortable truths for too many people this is the spot her car was assassinated just after three pm on the sixteenth of october twenty seventeen she was driving down this hill when a remote controlled bomb detonated under her seat the explosion threw her vehicle

off the road and into this field this memorial at the side of the nation pays tribute to the journalist who asked the powerful of this country difficult questions questions. government corruption and the breakdown of the rule of law these questions haven't gone away and neither has the question who wanted. that in the first place. police were quick to arrest three man suspected of planting the bomb. no closer to finding the ringleaders those who ordered. to kill the journalist concerned are growing over the rule of law. parliamentarian. visited the island on a fact finding mission for brussels after all what happened i have of course no trust in the multis or forward to the real murders and they have not been found and

we learned during the delegation that some evidence so. far has made many powerful enemies some suspect that they are now storming the investigation into her death important leads have not been followed and then another step back. the magistrate in charge of the investigation was promoted and taken off the case mortice minister of justice insists that everything is being done. no no no do police is doing get such most a route to solve this hideous murder and i have to congratulate him for doing fantastically they are doing. outside the ministry of justice is one of many activists who say that there is a conspiracy of silence around the investigation they have brought over our flowers and our cameras and we have delayed them at the cemetery of freedom of speech this is where freedom of speech has come to die the activists say that they will keep on fighting until those responsible for the matter of definition. are found and

brought to justice. just yesterday a journalist from the international press institute an advocacy group for press freedom met with the maltese prime minister just of muscat and they demanded a public inquiry into daphne quranic death this is a photo of the meeting that you're seeing right now and let's bring in scott griffin he was at the table at that meeting is the international press institute deputy director he joins us from the capital valetta scott thank you so much for being with us how did the prime minister respond to your ground. well we had a very frank and open discussion with the prime minister and i think that he listened to our concerns obviously but i can say that we walked out of that meeting with the feeling that that murder was going to be solved there are far too many open questions and far too many doubts about the way the investigation as an adult so far so unfortunately i can't say that those doubts have been assuaged

authorities say they're doing the best they can critics however say that those who organized her murder they are being protected what evidence is there to support that. look at you know we're not privy to the investigation itself we're not we're not carrying it out but what we can say is that there are a lot of warning signs the first is the lack of progress we had three individuals arrested in december we it is believed that these individuals carried out the act of of the murder but there has been no progress or no public private prison no indication of any progress that the masterminds there is any progress towards apprehending him master plans and that's really what matters in this case because until that the masterminds are brought to justice we can talk about this is a close case and and the other thing that we found very troubling during this trip is that the scope of the investigation seems to be very limited that is to say that a number of people who could have some relation to death the

coworkers subjects of her investigation people who may have something to say about about the possible motive they're not even being interviewed and this tells us that investigators are this leads us to suspect that investigators are not trying hard enough to find those who are behind the murder all right so the investigation hasn't been there are enough you're saying tell us more about daphne quranic work anything we mentioned in our report that she had stepped on powerful people's toes what was she researching. that's he was really research and she was known for researching a huge range of topics and a lot of them had to do with corruption public corruption involving public officials. also having to do with smuggling with migrations she really covered a lot of topics she stepped on a lot of people's toes she made a lot of enemies and that's what really again what troubles us is that all of those possible enemies it doesn't really seem like those leads are being followed up on

that window in the a lot of possibilities and that's been very disappointing so far to see and i have to say that we didn't see reason receive a clear enough commitment from the government that that would change scott i have to ask you you know this past year we have seen several journalists killed in europe who are investigating government corruption like daphne. slovakia and more recently victoria mara nova and bug area is the willingness to attack journalists on the rise. i think it's hard to say but what we can say is that if these murders are not solved then the willingness to attack journalists will rise because people will see that there are no consequences associated with attacking journalists so in that sense we see this is to do it very much at a crossroads you know if these terrible crimes are solved i think it will send the right message and if they're not and that is what we are here to prevent and we're going to continue fighting just as daftness case and yon's case and in the case in

bulgaria and we are really worried though if those cases are not solved that that could very much endangered journalists in europe as a whole all right scott griffin of the international press institute thank you very much for joining us on our program today. now the united nations says the number of young men he's on the brink of famine could rise to as many as twelve million or two and five of the population because of the ongoing conflict more than eight million people already need emergency food assistance to survive for many it's already too late. she's only eight years old and one of millions of victims of a war that seemingly unending. and issa has been taken to hospital in aden doctors say her waits is that of a two year old and they're not optimistic about her future. with the idiocy the

human condition they have found yet they are suspected for subsists and more likely that these lesions and what likely to that she's going to be ten point one digit it must be fifteen. and this and her mother are among the hundreds of thousands of civilians who fled the fighting around the city of her data. just a few days ago at least fifteen people fleeing the escalating conflict were killed when a sound led coalition air strike hit two buses near a security checkpoint. with. the data has become the center of yemen's conflict the port city is the entry point for seventy percent of the country's food imports sounded led coalition forces and allied ground troops are fighting to do theoretical is controlling it some and it's getting through but the distribution centers are filled with people desperate for food and there isn't enough for everyone the u.n. is calling it the world's worst humanitarian crisis as of late twenty seventeen

there were eight point four million severely food insecure people who need emergency food assistance every month to survive judy economic decline including depreciation of the currency humanitarian partners estimate that this population could rise up to five million people the un's world food program says it's scaling up its efforts for many it will be too late but for some of the children who've made it to hospital there might still be some hope. now in a city in northern italy a discriminatory policy has forced some foreign kids out of the school canteen the city wants extra proof from families that they are in financial need of reduced price lunch and that is not going down wolf with many in italy federico budget or social media editor has been following the story for us so to make up how school lunch become a populist issue well so be it all started when the mayor of which is

a city in the north of italy she passed a resolution that essentially barred children of foreign parents from the school canteen the mayor is called a cousin of the she's a from the far right league party one of the two parties in its is coalition government so this has also been seen as a tangible consequence of the right wing anti immigrant politics that her party has been complaining on and reduced price lunch is are available in lobby for families that can prove financial need also italian families of course but cousin of us policy expands on that and requires families from outside the european union to provide not only proof of their financial situation in italy but also to prove of any asset they own in their country of origin and of course this is a difficult if not impossible task for many people many foreigners who come from

conflict zones who come from countries that have far less transparency then the e.u. and alternately has led to more than three hundred children of foreign families being forced to eat in their home or outside the contained to eat something they had brought from home because the full price lunch of five years is simply too much so how did this story go from the small city in northern italy to become a nationwide issue well there was one report in particular and that a went viral and it caused a heated debate on social media. and we've also seen international organizations they have been coming down hard on this policy for example tweeted out this statement saying for children the canteen is not just the place where they get food it's where they socialize and integrate in so they are saying no to discrimination stemming from bureaucracy and a local aid group called coordination of equal duties they raised sixty thousand

euros with a crowd funding campaign to help affected families pay for school lunches and this issue has also become a political debate and we've seen that even. leader of the five star movement party the other party in the in the government they came out in the coalition government they came out against this policy against this kind of discrimination you mention the mayor is from the far right legal party what is the mayor supporters what are they saying well it's a fire right interior minister. has been going back and forth on this issue at first posted to facebook saying that a self certification of assets would be enough for children for foreign families to for children for families to continue receiving a reduced price meals but then yesterday he took to facebook again and he seemed to be doubling down on this policy and he he framed it as

a simply economic issue saying how many people foreigners have access to council housing even while owning a house in their home country enough those days are over it's not racism it's just a common sense and back in la di the mayor cousin of us she doesn't look like she's backing down and we know that more protests are planned today and that the group behind behind the crowdfunding campaign has also sued the city council over this resolution. the good news for now at least is that the children can go back to having lunch in the school canteen thanks to the money that was raised federico budget from our social media team thank you very much. i think. it will business news how the day goes by without a new chapter to the emissions saga german premium now faces an eight hundred million euro fine for its part in the cheating scandal the subsidiary says it won't

contest the fine issued by german prosecutors or deviations from regulatory requirements in diesel engines investigations focused on the manipulation of vehicles since two thousand and four the costs will directly impact these things for v.w. . and its fall in only bought south the natural man in frankfurt only audi's a premium brand we know that will eight hundred million. no not if you look at the reaction of the stock market here of course that's a lot of money to you and me and to anyone else but volkswagen is making huge profits billions and billions each year again after despite the diesel gate scandal two thousand and fifteen was a bad year two thousand and sixteen not that great but since then the profits have been coming in again a large margin and also cash flow which means nothing less than liquidity that can pay its bills on time and even with this eight hundred million it can the share is
