it's good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump says he is not satisfied with saudi arabia's account of what happened to journalist. at the consulate in istanbul as riyadh continues to change that story turkish officials are now saying killing was savagely planned a turkish president. is expected to lay out his country's evidence on tuesday with a spokesman saying quote nothing will remain secret hand in hand for the last time this recently released c.c.t.v. footage shows jamal khashoggi and his fiance at the residence on the morning of october second and then walking to the saudi consulate in istanbul. from which he never emerged. in the weeks since the journalist death

turkish media have leaked new details almost daily of how authorities say he was killed and how the suspects tried to cover it up. newly revealed footage obtained by c.n.n. shows a suspect apparently dressed in clothes leaving the consulate to tourist ambuhl. a turkish official told c.n.n. the body double was likely meant to convince investigators that her shock she left the consulate alive as the saudi government originally insisted he had. but turkey has claimed since the beginning that he was killed in cold blood. that we are facing a situation that has been monstrously planned with an attempt at a vast cover up. when we look at it from this point of view it's a very complicated murder complicated. riyadh has changed its story and now says that for shock she was killed by

a rogue group of interrogators acting quote outside the scope of their authority in recent days the saudis tonus turn from indignant to apologetic both the saudi king and crown prince been solomon telephone for shock she son to express their condolences but international pressure is mounting on the kingdom as its allies demand answers and turkish officials may have more to reveal. president regift i you have everyone has promised in an upcoming speech to parliament to divulge the full details of what happened on october second and the saudi consulate. thought like well i'm joined tonight by karen and see if she is global opinions editor at the washington post and she edited the last piece that mr shogi wrote for the newspaper and she worked with him for the past year here and it's good to have you on the program we appreciate you taking the time to talk with we know that the

last article that mr shaw you wrote that you had said was about freedom of expression in the arab world and we know that his opinions were not well received by saudi authorities did he ever speak to you about the hatred that was directed at him by the soltys. sure so you know obviously when the first twenty first. found him last year and he wrote his first piece for us he expressed to me in an e-mail saying you know that it was painful for him to talk about what was happening in saudi arabia that saudi arabia was always a place of you know a level repression but that it had been unbearable become unbearable for him and so you know the idea that someone who was that close to the royal family and was so prominent in saudi arabia felt that it was so unsafe that he needed to come here to

washington to live just to know how personally sort of under pressure that he was feeling you know as far as our conversations he in particular. sadness and depression over particularly his family. saudi authorities that travel restrictions and bans on his children i'm shortly after he began writing for us and he told me that. that authorities members of the family would reach out to him and say you know why are you writing for the washington post and you can do what you want but why are you writing for the post so he definitely was facing a lot more scrutiny and pressure for what he was writing for us but he said he felt he had to do it so he had no choice and he just wanted to be able to express himself let me ask you but what has emerged today with these video images showing what looks like a body double which suggests that there was an attempt

a premeditated temped to cover all the killing of mr. we we see that we know that the international community has no trust in the soul that he's coming clean with what happened. we understand that the turkish president says he will tell the truth about the situation to more do you have faith in turkey to deliver a thorough investigation and do you even do you have faith in the u.s. administration to do so with turkey doesn't. sure so i thing obviously you know the saudis have completely. shot or destroyed any any hint of credibility in this in this case we already knew that there was a plot to capture jamal specifically that u.s. intelligence officials intercepted now as far as turkey's role you know we are here sitting hoping that they do fully release everything that they have because so far

they've put saudi arabia on the back foot with leaking these details and at the very least these details are nuff for the saudis to sort of have to backtrack and deny and change their stories so you know. was was a friend of airlines his wife or was to be a wife fiance was turkish he had contacts within the turkish government they knew him so you know we're hoping that they will do the right thing and tell the world what happened to our colleague as far as the u.s. officials same thing you know cia officials have seen evidence we need to press for as much as possible full you know answers full accountability and. just whatever we do sends a message to journalists around the world about whether or not regimes can get away with murdering them in cold blood and whether or not the you know the u.s.

the leader of the so-called free world will stand by and do anything about it. the washington post global opinions editor they are saying we appreciate your time tonight thank you. our time for business now stephen is here with the latest on the controversial investor conference in saudi arabia that as we understand it is going to go bust instead of. well we know that. germany. is the latest to announce that he'll pull out of that conference which is davos in the desert a massive investor conference that's beginning this week in riyadh or is supposed to be. clear now. may not be a surprise in the wake of the suspected murder of the dissident journalist. but for kids or his company it's still not an easy one. preparations are well underway

the mood though is muted said his future investment initiative a conference known by some of us in the desert kicks off in riyadh on tuesday but the number of participants is dwindling delicious business leader to pull out of the event is this man seaman c.e.o. joe kayser he announced his withdrawal following pressure to respond to allegations of saudi involvement in the killing of journalist jamal to shoot a turnaround to this last week when qasr said he was still planning to attend in a statement posted on his linked in profile he said i will not attend the future investment initiative twenty eighteen it's the cleanest decision but not the most courageous one and it's not a decision against the kingdom or its people it's a decision based on how much responsibility one can assume at one time for now the truth must be found and justice must be served. cases one of several business leaders who find themselves in a moral quandary in the run up to the saudi conference but the wording of his

statement especially his eagerness not to condemn his would be host it's a reminder that for many companies this is primarily a tradeoff between profit and p.r. . now our financial correspondent yens cortez been following this news surrounding the saudi conference he joins us now from new york yes american firms were much quicker to pull out of this conference doing it days ago it likely was an easy decision for them either so what's at stake for a business when it ignores an event like this well if you look at silicon valley for instance saudi investors are among the biggest investors into the u.s. take start ups in silicon valley but you also have a couple of big tech names being engaged in a multibillion dollar deal in saudi arabia and then u.s. president donald trump repeatedly talks about

a possible one hundred ten billion dollar arms deal with saudi arabia the president also claims that one hundred thousand couple of thousand one hundred thousand jobs here in the united states are at stake in the defense industry even if experts are skeptical if those numbers have been too high but investor respect so a lot seems to be at stake for u.s. business. let's move away from saudi arabia for a moment the coming week is a big one for investors with some major companies reporting their earnings tell me what are investors looking for. there was street is eager to hear what effect for example of the higher tariffs might have found you as a business is if the stronger dollar is. hurting some of their sales and then also we have higher commodity costs and higher oil prices still there is one big question that wall street is having when we get numbers from companies like

boeing ford khalid davidson or caterpillar just to name a few and then also we had specially early on this year tech stocks on quite a run that has slowed a bit lately and we will get numbers from companies like alphabet amazon microsoft intel so it's really a heavy and very important week when it comes to earnings here on wall street. our financial correspondent in new york thank you yes. now moving on to italy italy is in the e.u. to stay that's the message from prime minister josep a contest he says his country won't leave the bloc but that it will stick to its deficit hike that's despite criticisms from brussels he argues the economy needs a lift the blocks biggest number state germany has warned rome however to be careful with debt and moody's has cut italy's credit rating. italy's prime minister has defended the deficit busting budget insisting his country needs

a new approach to stimulating the economy because previous efforts have failed in the second quarter growth slowed to its weakest pace in nearly two years in. the middle of this budget draft as well constructed and well formed the provisions for growth are very good in respect to what we are doing at the moment. he has pledged that next year's deficit won't exceed two point four percent of g.d.p. but that's triple the previous government's forecast the italian leader said it would fall below two percent by two thousand and twenty one and he charan t. that the national debt to g.d.p. ratio would decline as well he also dismissed any suggestion that italy would leave the european union or the euro zone. read my lips. no chance no way to get it alexy there's no way to get out. you

know so. many italian support runs tough stance against brussels and hope the increased spending will help kick start the economy. and i think all the election promises were kept so they did just fine even keeping their stance with europe which i think is the fundamental battle. not your pay i think that europe does not have to tell us what we have to do also because they are prejudiced against us and comparison to other european countries not to confront it and expect a yes get by zero. on tuesday the european commission is set to discuss and decide the next steps in the procedure for assessing italy's proposed budget for next year . now for more on this topic we're joined by dr john whittaker an economics researcher and professor at lancaster university in the u.k. now dr whitaker italy says it won't be influenced by brussels rejection of its

budget but what leverage does bustles really have in this case. well logo's downs of the rule is known as the stability pact which has been around right since the beginning of the euro and we start trying to strengthen and change its name and on all sorts of tricks to try and make it work but the stability pact has always been short of teeth that it doesn't bite the ultimate sanction has always been to find the country is running excessive deficits but no fine is ever been imposed and indeed it would be rather crazy things to do to find a country that's in budget troubles so they try to rely on lots of surveillance and so-called successive deficit procedure makes it sound all sinister but if the stability pact works at all it's probably by causing reputational damage to a country that looks if it running in a budget that's too great well what about market pressure in this case we know that moody's has downgraded italy's credit rating what does that mean exactly and what kind of pressure does that put on italy's government well it does in the sense that

it's been raising the yield on it and the telling government budget that telling governments bones then out about three and a whole percent or something which is i think it's a four or five year high if that creeps up a great deal more the danger is then that the taliban government will find it difficult to borrow. that's a very bad position that reminds one of greece when greece was merely leaving the euro in two thousand and fifteen if the government can borrow well looks very much towards that it might have to abandon the euro and go back to vision lire now we know the deficit spending is not unheard of especially when trying to stimulate an economy so why do analysts in this case look so concerned when they are speak in such a concern manner when they look at the italian budget. well you know you can make an argument for a government to do most bending or you can make an argument for government to do

less spending and then both cases the objective could be to bring down the government's debt. stimulus you have that's what the italian government is arguing but the rest of the european union and indeed other commentators seem to think that that's their own rogo answer for it and then i suppose it's all given its reputation even before it joined the euro and the government they had a reputation for spending too much that having inflation may join the euro is still spent too much but it couldn't have inflation in the event i ended up with it it's a day being the lowest during euro zone countries since the beginning of reputational problem people think that it's in his finances are going to get out of control. dr john would occur with lancaster university thanks for joining us and that's it for business back to brett with news feed and thanks very much tonight the u.s. national security advisor john bolton is in russia where he's holding talks with

senior government officials the visit comes as the trumpet ministration announce that it may pull out of a cold war orms deal bolton met russian foreign minister sergey lavrov in moscow earlier today he reportedly denied that washington's threat to leave the i.n.f. treaty is an attempt to blackmail russia bulge an implicit is that if the i.n.f. treaty is scrapped the u.s. is not planning to deploy missiles in europe that would target moscow we're here at the big table with me now is on the whole she is on the board of. germany i can germany is the german arm of i can which is dedicated to a a world without nuclear weapons appreciate you taking the time to come in with us tonight we've got the trumpet ministrations saying that for the past four years at least there is evidence that russia has been in violation of the i enough treaty is that true. well only the u.s.

know the answer to that because they haven't been telling anybody what the information is that they have that actually proves that's and so nobody in europe has actually said we know that to be a fact and at the same time the russians have also been saying that the us are in violation of violations as the same treaty so it's very hard to know what going on here what we do know is that this is a kind of blame game that both are trying to say that the other is at fault if this treaty falls apart but there's never a cute problem or crisis right now is there so begs the question why would trump want to you know pull the cord now what do you think is going on i think it's a lot to do with his meeting earlier in the year with me of putin that people saw him as being some kind of yes do you say to to putin and just doing what he was told and so there was

a lot of pro problems about that so he's probably trying to show some himself as being much stronger we've got the midterm elections the commitment so i think it's more to do with that and that there is actually any different situation than there was say as you say a few years ago this is the treaty stems from a period a bygone period the cold war. would it make since then to maybe i'm into the treaty i mean if the cold war is over maybe the treaty needs to be overhauled would that solve the problem here well i think personally i think that it would do a lot of good to actually look at the treaty again and actually talk about does this cover the the weapons that they're. thinking of actually developing and also does it cover the all the countries that have those weapons because at the moment we only have the u.s. and russia china india pakistan they're outside at the treaty and they have these weapons to. so it certainly worth looking at again whether or not to renegotiate

it but leaving it all together is definitely not the answer do you think that we will ever see putin and trump being able to sit down and negotiate the way the world saw gorbachev and ronald reagan do in one nine hundred eighty seven they are very different people and i have to say that gorbachev was completely convinced and break into the idea that we could get rid of nuclear weapons altogether i don't see this with trump and present they really believe very strongly that we need nuclear weapons in this world and they want to continue this nuclear to terence this is not the way that we want to go obviously with icann. the home with germany missile we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight thank you you thank. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world britain's prime minister theresa may has told parliament that ninety five percent of the brics that withdrawal agreement with the european union is now settled may

said there might be circumstances in which a planned transition period is extended beyond twenty twenty something which is anger at both pro and anti e.u. factions in her conservative party officials in colombia say at least nine people have died after a mudslide swept through a town in tucson ten days in the past two weeks more than twenty people have been killed as a result of landslides and river overflows in different parts of the country. lebanon has taken in more than a million syrian refugees many live in extreme poverty and often parents have no choice but to marry off their children because they simply don't have the means to feed and raise them aid groups have warned that the number of child brides is growing in lebanon where there is no minimum age of marriage. i.e. bram traveled to a refugee camp in the bekaa valley in an exclusive report that she met

a fourteen year old girl who is about to get married. last fall when it was just starting a new semester at school. this year she's getting ready for her wedding i thought i stopped going to school in the seventh grade because i got engaged my mother knows him he came and told me that he wanted me and that was that. mother has just fourteen years old when her fiance first brought her her engagement ring it slipped off her finger and had to be resized to fit her small hand. she flat were trying syria to a refugee camp in lebanon's bekaa valley. the stent is home to her her mother and three siblings it's difficult to make ends meet with the rest of us of. i need to pay for electricity household expenses but i also have medical expenses

two of my children have chronic asthma when they have attacks at night there's nothing i can do mara won't be the first in her family to be married off as a girl her mother went when she was fifteen eight organizations say the humanitarian crisis has seen child marriages increase within syrian refugee communities. many like my house no longer have a childhood with few responsibilities to look forward to. all the while the war i have to get married because of our situation there are many things i need that i can't get i don't have any married friends and don't really know what marriage is. in lebanon one in five syrian refugee girls between fifteen and nineteen is married with more than two thirds of syrian refugees in lebanon living in poverty many parents see marrying their children off as the only option to pay the bills.

if we were in syria and there was no war i would never have done this i would have let a study even my son who is top of his cluster now has to work. with that last year our tent burned down i'm still in debt because of that we left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. but parents are not the only ones to blame there is no minimum age of marriage and lebanon and some religious communities girls even younger than fifteen can marry activists like him nor are calling for that to change. we need a law that would set the minimum age for marriage at eighteen and to punish the shakes who officiate such marriages their giving away it goes right to them marrying them just on paper but it's not officially registered anyway. a lot

of such a law is nowhere in sight however and so in a few weeks mother will become yet another child bride in lebanon she'll be sent back to syria to her future husband. you're watching the w. news wife from berlin after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day stick around for that.
