6:03 pm
a reasonable opinion as soon as possible because the investigation is looking into many things such as toxic materials and those materials being a 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. in front of the residents of saudi arabia. so we just received word that saudi arabia's consul has left the country what more can you tell us. well yes phil it suddenly got very crowded here
6:04 pm
in front of the residence of the saudi consul this is the latest development in this story that is getting more confusing more crazy as many would say a by the day so the saudi consul mahmut o.b.d. reportedly left his residence and went on a plane to the kingdom of saudi arabia all of this happened just hours before his home his residence was expected to be searched by police by investigators so now as we see at the very moment the first investigators have apparently arrived i hope you can see what i'm talking about there at the entrance so a lot of media attention right now over there and the fact that the consul is not here anymore is of cause raising many questions for example did he escape why did he do so is he simply afraid of what investigators might find one stay really
6:05 pm
gets into the residence and start searching the building turkish investigators went into the consulate yesterday what is the latest on the investigation. where the in the situation is ongoing as i mentioned now really everybody is waiting for investigators to get inside this a very building the saudi consuls a residence residence but of course the consulate a few hundred meters away from here has also been searched yesterday evening till the early morning hours in a second search is a specter expected as well we were talking to one source familiar with the investigation in that school space. sickly claimed that does somebody have been trying to obscure the evidence of screw what turkish authorities have been calling a crime scene since a couple of days actually but the source also said investigators were able to find and i quote concrete evidence that jamal khashoggi the famous saudi arabian writer
6:06 pm
was indeed killed inside the saudi consulate so they have not been talking to us on what kind of evidence they found they just say they need to do more tests but we know the turkish investigators a very closely looking for d.n.a. for blood samples possibly also for a dead body. in istanbul thank you. it's been a year since multis best known investigative journalist was killed by a car bomb police charged three men with daphne water commits his murder but critics believe the people who want to be attacked still at large that they're being protected the government denies any wrongdoing in the investigation but some new politicians have lost faith in the country's leaders the w.c. quarter to bow reports from motor. remembering her hero one year after her murder activist. the journalist definite. on
6:07 pm
the activities of the corrupt and criminal. why did she have to die she did not die because she lied she died because she told the truth and she was uncovering too many uncomfortable truths for too many people this is the spot where carroll 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 dared to ask 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 men suspected of planting
6:08 pm
the bomb. still no closer to finding the ringleaders those who ordered these hired to kill the journalist concerned are growing over the rule of law. parliamentarians mangold visited the island on a fact finding mission for brussels after all what happened i have of course no trust in the multis all forward tees the real murderers of there 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 in another step back the magistrate and. the investigation was promoted and taken off the case minister of justice insists that everything is being done. no no no do police is
6:09 pm
doing most to solve this. murder and i have to congratulate him for doing it from. 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. and we have laid them at the symmetry 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. are found and brought to justice. well just yesterday journalists from the international press institute an advocacy group for press freedom met with prime minister joseph cuts public inquiry into the . death that's a photo of the meeting you're seeing behind me right now scott griffin was about meeting he's the international press institute said deputy director he joins us
6:10 pm
from capitol. welcome to the prime minister respond to your demand for a public inquiry. well we had a very open and frank discussion with the prime minister he essentially you know agreed on principles open this inquiry but only after the criminal investigation is finished and that's where we really have serious doubts about the situation as you know of three individuals were arrested last december and these are believed to be those individuals who actually carried out the assassination but since then there has been no progress and we didn't receive any sign of progress here that the investigation into who actually ordered this crime has progressed any further so that was a very serious that's a very serious concern that we have and the other concern is that the scope of the investigation seems to be very limited we spoke with a number of individuals here who said it and some of them said that they and they
6:11 pm
themselves have not been interviewed it's a potential sources for the investigation colleagues of daphne's and we also know that many potential suspects those who are subjects of death is reporting have not been interviewed and this is really shows us that well it really calls into question the serious the seriousness of the investigation and certainly shows that there is a lack of progress on this theory about the people behind me kind of want to commit suicide not being protected what evidence is that for support. well look we're not involved in the investigation ourselves what we know and what we're seeing are signs that generate mistrust as i said there has not there has been no progress in finding the masterminds the scope of the investigation is extremely restricted we didn't receive any indication of a timeline something government about when the investigation can be can you expect to be concluded. and in general the climate here is very problematic in the sense
6:12 pm
that the government has continued to or officials close to the government have continued to for example file libel suits against death you know continue no suits a memorial to daphne here and bill that has been taken down a number of times so all of these things put together really raise suspicion that you know the investigation is not progressing and i think raises justifiable suspicion that the people you know close to the government could be involved but we don't know that what we want are answers in the end we want justice and again we don't see that the investigation is progressing toward those answers and briefly what it doesn't kind of want to commit to do that made has so many enemies briefly in mind. she covered a lot of different topics ranging from corruption in the government to oil smuggling to multiple golden passport scheme which is where they sell out sports
6:13 pm
for citizenship and indeed you know she just made a lot of enemies over the course of twenty twenty five years reporting on these topics and she faced a number of incidents of harassment over her career and again this is why the way the investigation has a full that is of such great concern to us why have someone who has made so many enemies and those leads are just not being followed up on good talking to fact you're joining us got griffin from the international press institute. thank you. i'm sure some of the other stories making news around the world the german journalist who returned to turkey to clear her name of terrorism charges and secured the lifting of a travel ban again time husband result of tolu swat called appeared before a court in istanbul where they are being tried jointly tolu was allowed to leave the country in august having served an eight month prison sentence last year. european council president donald tusk has demanded british prime minister to resign make concrete proposals for ending the bloodshed on pass which is most

6:16 pm
convey its bills on time and even with this eight hundred million that can the share is going up the volkswagen share mostly on. the fact that there was a positive comment by an analyst from a bank but you know it doesn't mean that it's out of the woods yet if it can stand this eight hundred million there's still more court cases to come in germany for example on jilted investors who feel that it's a v.w. and for him too late and also by people who feel that they deserve to compensation for their cars that were manipulated and there's been some very interesting comments coming from big you would self. people they're lashing out at politicians i believe it doesn't sound like there's been much soul searching going on at his parent company which actually spotty. that's right and it's no one less than have a nice to see folks wagon and the nerves seem to be getting a little frayed there because he's lashing out at politicians and other critics

6:18 pm
on what is not an option the saudis still need to keep the revenue stream from oil flowing as its customers use less and less of it and turn to other energy sources. 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 scheme 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 has continued to decline is not a rule or output across the globe so the us has alternatives it could make much of
6:19 pm
it again it's a nuclear option for the saudis to the kingdom is still desperate for all revenues that need it 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 . more on the saudis international relations with filth very very. u.s. weapons contracts for saudi arabia are also controversial because of the kingdom's leading role in the war in yemen the fighting has produced a major humanitarian disaster and today the united nations warned of the crisis is getting worse the u.n. says the number of yemen is on the brink of famine a code to rise to as many as twelve million that's forty percent of the population 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

a french team that won the world cup by combining discipline defending with fast paced counterattacks and their title winning coach is keen to 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 in 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. today marks fifty years since american athletes tommy smith. gave a black power salute on the medal podium at the mexico and picks the civil rights
