inside. the country.

it's good to have you with us thank you say it's a cover up of the killing of. so. that he died in its. often a fistfight with a man for more than two weeks the saudis had denied it was dead this is a moment that. the saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen again. a shock his disappearance sparked an international outcry over and over saudi arabia said he'd left the building alive. weeks late they conceded that's false the critical journalists died at their hands all the lot at the. prosecutor's first investigation into the disappearance of the saudi citizen jamal khashoggi hassan the discussion between him and the people he met while he was at the saudi concert in the stumble between argument and scrabble with her charges which cost his death

. in fact he this statement is a break from two weeks of silence and denial from riyadh even this incriminating evidence mounted. days after the shockey and at the consulate turkish officials leaked information that the journalist was killed inside the building. next they released these images purportedly showing his quote arriving in istanbul airport shortly before and at the consulate turkish officials also claim the audio recordings proving that the shock she was tortured and his body in dismembered. even off a saudi arabia's latest concessions the journalist body still hasn't been found and it is unclear who ordered kushal she's killing. we want justice for gemma we want yammers murders will be punished all over we want punishment not only for the eighteen men but also for the all thirty that gave the orders saudi arabia now

claims it has responded to the killing by second senior officials including general ahmed a siri a close confidant of mohammad. raising yet more questions about the role of saudi arabia's de facto ruler in the death of the dissident journalist. and. the united states reacted positively to the saudi admission u.s. president donald trump has cautiously welcomed the kingdom's announcement that it would shake up its intelligence service and sacked top officials well i think it's a good first step it's a big step to a lot of people people involved and i think it's a great first step. but what happened is unacceptable. for more on this i'm joined. by reporter bob before the earliest welcome don't don't think the saudi admission is a quote unquote great first step is that view shared by the united states i mean

he's obviously had support from what he said but there has also been fierce criticism as well most notably from samantha power and i'm samantha power of course is the former u.s. ambassador to the united nations she tweeted by saying they don't get it she said shifting from full boldface lives. she left the consulate to focus on the nation of a quote rogue operation they claim in the foxhole credibly investigate what he did to the hand will convince nobody i mean that is pretty damning there so she doesn't really of course believe what the saudis have said now most importantly i suppose would be that a u.s. republican senator lindsey graham came out and he also said on twitter that he said it's hard to find this latest explanation as credible now this was in a series of tweets where he also said to say that i'm skeptical of the new study narrative about mr cumshaw she is an understatement so there's absolutely no

denying there that there is a lack of support in some ways for what donald trump had to say now also we heard from the republican. be shift he is from california actually not republican representative i should say he's a top democrat on the house intelligence committee he said that he also found you know quite he was very skeptical of what was said he said let's not forget that the shock he was killed while brawling with a team of more than a dozen dispatched from saudi arabia he said it's not credible he said if he was fighting inside the saudi consulate in istanbul he was fighting for his life with people sent to capture or kill him not mincing his words there also donald trump certainly has people who don't agree with him to say the least bearish evolution absolutely but don't of also do talk about economic interests with the can do. most of the neighborhood talked about the one million jobs as a result of the defense deal we should just about think is the mother of all defense teams when it was signed some time back but it's not just the united states that has economic interests in saudi arabia here in europe also real if you

countries that are of some interest in this other you're absolutely right here where we are right now in germany of course now up until the end of september germany has sold over four hundred million euros in arms or weaponry we'll say to saudi arabia now a green member of the green party of course the opposition here in germany has called for an end to arms sales to saudi arabia from germany another notable country here in europe is spain in fact with lots of economic interests there in saudi arabia there's been a lot of calls from the opposition there to for an end to sales of arms and infrastructural products such as trains. so plenty of opposition here in europe to what's happened thanks for updating us on the. news thank you so much for now to some of the other stories making news around the world hundreds of
