>> his speech echoed calls from europe and the u.s., calls for saudi arabia to tell the full story. brent: on the story, is our correspondent. good evening. let me start with you, turkish president erdogan, he promised to reveal the naked truth on what happened to jamal khashoggi. did he do that today? >> no, the naked truth is not what we got from president erdogan. although his statements are the most detailed accusations made in public so far. by saying that it was a savage murder, a premeditated political murder, he clearly contradictetd

the official saudi narrative of a deadly fistfigight or sosome d of rogue operaration gone wrwro. whatat he did totoday was basicy summmmarize the results of the investigation, adding a few mome details. hehe said a 15 member team of saudi's began arriving in istanbul before mr. khashoggi disappeared. three of them had been scouting a forest in istananbul. also, a city nearbrby. turkish investigatotors started seararching for his body. mr. erdogan called on the saudi's to extradite so o they n bebe trialed in tuturkey. in the end, he stopped short of direrectly accusing riyadh or te crown prince. he did not answer crucial questitions. one of them being g how exactly jamal khashoggi was killed.

against saudi arabia. vivice presisident pence spoke t against saudi a arabia saying tt there will definitely be consequences and the u u.s. will react to w whatever the e findis are. this is the murder of jamal khashoggi. this is being said under the paradigm of -- the u.s. has vital national sececurity intereststs in the e region -- e middle each -- middle east. especiallyly saudi arabia.a. whatever thehe u.s. is doing, whatever the vice president says , it will follow this paradigm. brent: that is highlighted by the rick -- latest report we are seeing from the white house. donald trump saying that he thinks the turkish president was a little too hard on saudi arabia.

let me turn this back to you. we know the turkish police are continuing their investigation. what have they found? what are the still looking for? >> the investigation continues. what crime scene investigators are looking for now is the body of mr. khashoggi. in the end, the body is the crucial missing piece of this puzzle that can sheded light on thisis crime. turkish h media reports s that suitcases and even a laptop has been found in a car belonging to the saudi consulate here in istanbul. some reports suggest that inside the suitcases they found the gloves of -- clothes of mr. khkhashoggi. this has not been confirmed but

this is what investigators are doing right now. the body is the important missing part. his family and friends say they are planning to do a funeral for him also, some kikind of cererey or vigil in the upcoming days to make se e the worldd knows that this crime and mr. khashoggi and his work will not be forgotten. brent: thank you t to both of y. we will have more on the economic fallout from the khashoggi killing in business. here are other stores. -- stories. vladimir putin will meet donald trump. $ plus national security adviser met with and other senior russian officials in moscow. that leaves 20 people, many of

correspondence conducted an investigation into the rise of jihadist south is a -- solphism. one of the reporters investigating this is to my right. -- jihadist --- jihadist salafism. >> much of this driving this terrorism is salafi ideology. not every salafist will be a terroristt but every islamist terrorist has a salafi

background. anyone who went to syria or iraq to join them. i live in a salafi hotspot. i see them handing out iran's -- q'urans in the city. i was wondering what they were doing and what their mindset was. >> we have a report on salafism in germany. >> this is a fundamentalist form of islam. some of the supporters reject modern western democratic norms. the german domestic terrorism service says that salafist sect is growing. there were 3800 and the country.

three years later, that number was 7000. by 2018, it was 10,800. the main center in germany is the western state. it is thought there are about 3000 salafist supporters here. they classified around a hundred of them as militant or jihadist. in 2012, a group of islamists in germany were caught climbing a bomb attack. at least one of the group had salafist connections. this used to be a common sight on german high streets. in 2016, the interior minister banned one group he accused of radicalizing youngsters. >> we don't want terrorism in germany. we don't want cause for terrorism to be made here or for people to be radicalized here. we don't want terrorism to be

exported from germany. >> a month that statement by t e interior minister, the christmas market attack happened. they drove a truck into the crowd killing 12 people. the 24-year-old allegedly longed to a militant salafist network. the investigation showed that jailed salafists continue their attempts to radicalize fellow muslims by setting up networks in prisons. brent: we know there are about 11,000 salafists here in germany. did you find anything while looking into these 11,000? did you find anything that surprised you or disturb you? -- disturbed you? >> it is how well they managed to create a parallel society. a social media echo chamber with youtube and whatsapp and so on

and so fourth. with echo chambers extending into real life. >> still not being noticed by others. >> it is not necessarily for bitten. the constitution gives us the right of religious freedom. even handing out quarans is not forbiden. -- forbidden. they were supposed to further jihadist him. it is the way they managed to create a world where them and on value systems. with their own toys, ideologically correct, even for tile this. all of them revolving around the question of what is forbidden,

what is ok. brent: thank you very much. if you want to see his colleagues work on salafist him here in germany, you can head to dw.com. you'll find everything. thank you very much. >> the u.s. . is facing pressure over a series of arms deals following the death of the ki -- the killing of jamal khashoggi. donald trumpmp says that it is o much to cancel all of the figures and deals. >> intent on protecting arms deals with saudi arabia, donald trump has rejected sanctions. normally he is too happy to impose them.

>> i don't want to cancel 100 handling dolollars worth of wor. it means 600,000 jobs. >> as the global outrage mounts, so the trumps numbers. >> i don't want to lose a million jobs. i don't want to lose $110 billion in terms of investment. it is really 450 billion if you include other than military. >> how many jobs is it? how much cash? the u.s. is giving the impression that you can't afford to take any action at all. -- it can't afford to take any action at all. brent: let's talk to sophie. she is in new york. what do you know about these arms deals between the u.s. and saudi arabiaia?

sophie: there is a lot that trump does not seem to know. the numbers don't add up. five keeps claiming things about how many jobs would be created or lost if the u.s. draws back from the deal with the saudi's. but the aerospace industry association says that in 2016 there is something like 355,000 manufacturing jobs supported by the entire defense and national security industries. it is hard to imagine that this deal spread over a decade and would double the total of jobs in the sector. nothing seems to have been finalized. there seems to be only a few if any sign contracts. many of these announcements are memorandums of content. -- intent. brent: the first quarterly earnings imports are coming in. the markets don't seem to like what they are seeing. what can you tell us? >> this is looking like a small

disaster for the markets. this is what the investors were making out of this. it is into correction territory. the dow had lost 500 points. it came back in the afternoon trading hours. the earnings we got on tuesday were not necessarily bad. they cast a shadow onto the next year. the shadow is called protectionism and a stronger dollar. also, rising interest rates. let's look at the numbers. they are saying that due to sanctions, the production costs are going to go up next year. this already started. this is something that the numbers of three and were telling. -- 3m were telling. brent: the european commission has rejected italy's 2019 budget for breaching eu budget meals -- rose.

it is the first time the eu has taken such a drastic step. the decision means that under the excess deficit procedure, rome will be given another three weeks to reconsider and revise its spending plans. at over 2 trillion euros, national debt is the highest in the eu. that is 130% of gross the mystic product and there are fears that an increase could unleash another crisis. it says the economy needs a boost. it is sticking to its plans to triple public spending next year. rome insists that the dead will be -- debt will be following -- falling by 2021. >> the prime minister and his deputies have three weeks to reconsider their budget plans. it is a decisive moment. this could resonate globally. italy has also become a polarize

-- polarized country. not everybody back the government. italy is part of europe so it has to follow certain rules. these rurules have savaved us up until now. i think we need to carry on like that, they are right. it is clear that the government will take the situation forward. we need to be sure that we are strong enough to keep up this stance. >> this s is clearly quite toug. to be e held to task over your choices when you are a memberr f countries is understandable. the deputy prime minister does not think so. during a visit to romania he says there is no going back on the budget. wrapping up the rhetoric, he accused the eu of attacking not the government but an entire nation. >> that is it for business. back to branch with more news.

brent: we will take it back to the other side of the pond. it is only two weeks until midterm congressional elections in t the united ststates. an unprecedented number of women are running for office. it is part of a trend that started years ago. this year we are seeing a spike in the number of women who would win a seat. some are calling 2018 the year of the woman or the pink wave. dw is bringing you an in-depth look at four of the most closely watched women this electoral season. today we profile a republican who once called president trump's remarks on women disgusting. now she is turning to the commander in chief for his backing as she buys for a senate seat that her party must win to keep the razor thin majority in washington. >> this is the first female pilot running for the u.s.

senate in arizona in a race that will help decide which party controls the chamber. an emotional moment for martha. the republican primary, she had challenges from the far right. this is her party's hope to open the senate seat in a difficult election. >> i feel honored and grateful. >> she is the favorite of the republblican establishment and s a reputationon as a political moderate. she links hersrself to the presidentt and makes clear that she is not pulling her punches. >> this is how i see this campaign. it is a choice betetween a do-er and a talker. proven gririt and hollywood glititz. i am impressed that my opponent brags that shehe owns over 100

pairs of shoes. i have been on over 100 combat missions, serving our country. >> her military record against her opponent's antiwar activism, this is also a congresswoman. meanwhile, this is a tight race closely watched by both paparti. she supports the border wall and has toughened her stance on immigration and embraced the president despite once calling his commmments unacceptable and disgusting. >> we wanted to talk to marthaha abouout her campapaign and her support for president trump. he dismisses be no officeholders as crazy or low iq. but she did not want to talk to us. >> mesa, arizona. many line up to see donald trump. he is holding a rally to help martha. for the people here, it is evident why y she sides with the president. >> because anybody who doesn't
