3:02 pm
a result of an explosion caused by an explosive device people died and there were many injured. i want to extend my condolences to the families of the dead and my hope that the injured recover as quickly as possible. we're doing everything we can to make that possible. it was to be sure it's obvious that this was a crime that we currently investigating the motive and the exact sequence of events . let's go to moscow now where our correspondent emily sure wind is following the latest for us hi emily what more can you tell us. well sumi what we do know is that at least seventeen people died and over fifty people were injured in this incident there was an explosion and there was shooting at this school and most of the victims were teenagers now there are just reports coming in at the moment that the national anti-terrorist committee and russia has just reported that
3:03 pm
another bomb has just been found at the school and the other new information that we have is that this suspect is reportedly a student from the school at eighteen year old who was in the fourth year at that college he has been found dead in the school. that's the news that we know it is very much a developing story though as you can see you know they're not really isn't ruling out terrorism so far is that correct. well at first it was said that this was a gas explosion and then the investigative committee opened an investigation into this case as a terrorist attack but now they've actually reclassified things and they're saying that it was actually a murder so they say they seem to have ruled out terrorism i don't know whether that will change now with the new information about the second bomb crimea has been in the political spotlight and expire russia in two thousand and fourteen but how
3:04 pm
rare are incidents like this on the crimean peninsula. well sumi initially this did seem to be perhaps to have some kind of political background as you say crimea was annexed by russia this is definitely still a politically sensitive peninsula to say the least but with this new information about the suspect it seems that this was actually school violence which is very rare in post soviet countries it's very hard to get a gun for example in russia there was only one recent case of a school shooting in two thousand and fourteen there were however several knife incidents in russia this year so school violence happens here but gun violence is very much where all right our correspondent emily sure win for us in moscow thank you only u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe has messed turkish president recha tampered one in ancora for talks about the disappearance of a saudi journalist in his meeting with air to one pump
3:05 pm
a zero expressed concern over the journalist jamal khashoggi who hasn't been seen since entering the saudi consulate in istanbul two weeks ago turkish officials have alleged he was murdered inside the building they've since searched the consulate and say they want to search the saudi consuls home as well. and that is where we find. is in front of the residence of the saudi consul high yulia so an investigation team has arrived there what can we expect. now sumi this is a very crucial location for this investigation of mr disappearances and alleged murder as you said the residence right behind me of the saudi consul here in istanbul now according to the evidence that has been leaked to media in the past weeks turkish investigators believe that mr the shot j was first murdered in the saudi consulate about two hundred meters away from here and his dead body then taken to this building to the residence of the consul now as you already mentioned
3:06 pm
there is a search going on the investigation is going on turkish investigators have been pressing for access to this building exactly for the reason for the suspicion i mentioned and now they were supposed to do this yesterday already but they couldn't now we're waiting for them to arrive here the saudi parts of this joint turkish saudi investigation team has arrived in black missy disses about eleven people they went went inside already and inside the residence and now we're waiting for the text part of the investigation what makes this even more delicate the latest developments is the news that we are hearing now from saudi arabia that the saudi consul has reportedly been relieved of his post and will be investigated now we have no further confirmation this is coming from saudi online newspaper but let me let me remind you this is the saudi consul who left turkey yesterday for saudi arabia raising suspicion that he was basically escaping or was ordered to come back
3:07 pm
because the saudis are afraid of what investigators might be able to find once they start their search of this building investigators already spent several hours looking at the consulate building what have they found so far. while this happened on monday the joint team of saudi and turkish investigators have been searching the saudi consulate they've been taking samples from walls because they have. reports wolf have been painted over they are reportedly also took a sample from the garden saw they inspected the rooftop even and later a source familiar with the investigation confirmed to us that they indeed found in a quote concrete evidence that mr was killed now there are also reports about a audio recording all of mr the shaab g.'s last minutes a very gruesome account actually turkish media are citing sources who reportedly
3:08 pm
