a fresh prince of britain for example as the prospect of a heartbreaks of nums they're all growing fears that the british economy that suffer for years to come. and several explosions rocked afghanistan killing more than a dozen people as bush has defied terror threats to cause their ballots in the parliamentary elections now polling stations were kept open longer to cope with the larger than expected general. i'm christine when it's good to have you with us turkey says it will not allow a cover up of the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi saudi arabia has now admitted that he died in its istanbul concert as they say off to a fistfight with several unarmed men for more than two weeks the saudis had denied because ship was stated. early saturday morning saudi state media announced
10:02 pm
that she had died in a fistfight inside the saudi consulate in istanbul following an argument the statement clearly implies this was not a premeditated murder it also said eight hundred saudis had been arrested in connection with the death and the second in command of the saudi intelligence service amid a sciri and other top officials have been sacked a leading saudi dissident told german television these moves are aimed at removing blame from crown prince mohammed bin solomon. it is obsolete impossibility to imagine this team fifteen members. coming in the one and even the even from different department a country and doing this job without literally knowledge done it it's all done from . the shocking events alleged by turkish investigators have put the saudis under
10:03 pm
pressure to explain but the official statement has been met by skepticism in many parts of the world u.s. president donald trump our ever says riyadh's version could be plausible. and you minutes again it's early we haven't finished our review or investigation observateur say the saudis may have silenced. not only because he was a journalist critical of the crown prince but also had close ties to the west and turkey. all right for more on the story we're joined by assad as he is from arabic now that it's good to see you does this latest saudi vision of events seem credible it's hard to believe that the royal family that the crown prince mohammed bin son and his father king some mandate that they didn't know about this the death of the. jamal khashoggi. especially they have been denying it for two
10:04 pm
weeks and now they say oh he died in the in the consulate because the two of the shows will be sacked today are syrian pattani they are from the inner circle a circle of crown prince and that's why it's hard to believe that they didn't know about the death of jamal khashoggi and it's not really easy to buy this narrative speaking of buying this imagine we know that for we saw in the reports that u.s. president donald trump is somewhat buying into it but i wondered how people in the arab world are responding to the saudi narrative now i've been looking at social media and talking to friends and colleagues and nobody really believes this story that the royal family that the government didn't know that jamal khashoggi was that there are so many questions about how come that somebody goes into
10:05 pm
a fistfight in the consulate and dies immediately and how come they didn't know anything or we don't know anything about the body what did happen to the body would have we don't we do know so this whole narrative is very very weak and. there are really very few people outside saudi arabia who believe this narrative that i want to ask you this how will you be remembered in the arab world first we have to know that damascus of he wasn't always a dissident he was critical to the regime but here was loyal he was also. very. he was of the incident of the crown prince but when muhammad and some man and his father came to power. i think he was or damascus it was you know too uncomfortable to him and he went to the us to do in his bid to to exile erotically and i think now he will be remembered as i and i kind of freedom of
10:06 pm
speech which is a very crucial thing and so i don't even know right now. the arabic thank you for that now to some of the other stories making news around the world some of the migrants in a caravan that sample from honduras to the united states have been allowed to enter met mexico by immigration authorities this as hundreds of other migrants had faced off against riot police on a bridge crossing the mexican washing modern for some people jumped into the water along the border to escape. in taiwan thousands of people have demonstrated on the streets of the capital taipei calling for a formal declaration of independence from china it is the first large scale protest calling for an outright referendum on the issue since taiwan first became a democracy more than twenty years ago. pulm

10:09 pm
a young person i feel like our feet off you think. the only way to shake up. the march ended in front of parliament where many of them hope it will make a lasting impression. in afghanistan say a suicide bomber has killed fifteen people in kabul the attack was the most serious of many that caused dozens of casualties during the country's parliamentary elections almost nine million people were eligible to cost ballots now despite the fear of violence turnout was larger than expected with the long queues for me as many polling stations. dozens of people died across the country and more than one hundred ninety attacks on saturday as people went to the polls on the first day of voting a suicide bombing in front of a polling station in the capital kabul may have been the deadliest a doctor said that three people were killed there and six wounded but government sources say fifteen died both the local islamic state affiliate and the taliban
10:10 pm
have threatened violence during the elections. oh despite the threats many people seem eager to vote almost nine million are registered to cast their ballots in the election for the lower house of parliament ordinary afghans have expressed cautious hope. but i hook up it's our right to vote today i came out here and voted for my favorite kind of date and did my part for the future of afghanistan. on the phone footage of. a time when stuff and war and conflicts and now i've come here to vote for person who should want to bring security to the country i asked people to come and fight for prosperity in afghanistan not. it's a major step that these elections are happening at all they were originally scheduled to be held three years ago but ongoing instability has forced many delays ten candidates have been assassinated then just this past week an attack in kandahar province killed the chief of police and wounded the provincial governor
10:11 pm
leading to further delays in the province elections there are planned for next week the main target in that attack could well have been the us commander in afghanistan general scott miller although he denies it he escaped injury and encouraged afghans not to be intimidated present to the people of afghanistan is going very consistent and you have every right to be proud of your security forces and the preparations that made for this election despite all this unfortunate of that tragic event down attend our voters are choosing representatives for the two hundred forty nine seat lower house a strong turnout could well indicate that functioning institutions work bolstering the government's legitimacy in the eyes of the people voting continues on sunday at a number of other polling stations the final electoral results won't be known for at least a week. earlier we spoke last he is a freelance journalist in kabul and be asked him how he experienced this election day. well i might my vote he can see making or my vote went pretty
10:12 pm
quickly though the biggest issue and the center that i was in was. the sorting out of the names because everyone was basically where you registered was where you had to vote this time so that took a little bit of time but that was the biggest issue that i faced personally but as the day went on what we saw was that millions of people face massive issues once they got to the polling centers their polling centers that just weren't open when they got there their polling centers that when they got there they didn't how about the president how ballot boxes or they didn't have the ballot papers through the cocina matic tried to get their own specific ballots so this created a lot of problems for people where they were kept waiting outside of these voting centers for sometimes hours at a time and that leaves them susceptible to tall of on threat because we've seen you know the taliban vowed before the election that they would target these these polls
10:13 pm
and they have throughout the day we read hard reports instances of rockets explosions of the taliban trying to ransack the voting centers of them closing down major roads throughout the country and we even saw one that in the evening in kabul at six or seven in the evening a polling center was attacked ad that resulted in at least ten deaths including a child and that poll yet i want to i want to ask you this really quickly because we do have to wrap up but a lot of people turned out despite the violence that they would potentially have experienced why does a selection mean so much to people in afghanistan because people are fed up with the parliament and they feel like the parliament is corrupt and it's bragiel and it doesn't serve them so they were hoping that a new parliament would actually begin to serve them all right reporting for us in kabul thank you very much for that and.
