pointed to a lack of cooperation from saudi authorities. left turkeyosecutor on wednesday after several days meeting with turkish investigators, and without making a public statement, ankara wants answers but so far there is only frustration. jesper: yes. this is quite true. after the saudi prosecutor left yesterday, the istanbul chief prosecutor issued a statement saying "nothing concrete" had come out of the saudi prosecution's visit. asay, justice minister saying, come on, saudis, you have to cooperate. the statement is clearly in direct response to the s sdi chief prprosecutor's refusal to tell the turks what he has got from the 18 murder suspects in his custody, what those suspects

are saying about, where is the body and who ordered t the killing? will a cabinet level appeal today be sufficient to prorocure answers from the saudis on those questions? i doubt it, simply because president erdogan was demanding answers frfrom the saudis last week a and did not get them. the problem is, at the e end of the day, turkey doeoes not have chch leverage on saudi a arabia. sasaudi arabia can do withouout turkey. however, it cannotot do withouot amamerica. i think have got to see m more pressurere from washington if we are to get to the bottom of how khashoggi was killed. ago, u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo went to riyadh to discuss the shoji's killing 's killing and

dy, so they cacannot say witith certainty hohow he was kililled. ononly the s saudis can ananswet question because they have the killers in their custody. i think the turks believe that a steady and gradual increase of as theure on the saudis best way to squeeze the information out of them. lastly, i think the turks believe that gentle pressure through the drip, drip approach is a better way to preserve relations with riyadh. turkey does want to preserve relations with saudi arabia, that is quite clear. support saudi arabia's for the syrians civil war. >> thank you very much for updating us. 24'sr mortimer, france correspondent in ankara. divers off the coast of indonesia have found a black rocks recorder from the lion air

troops to the u.s.-metro border -- mexico border as donald trump talks tough on immigration and struggles to stop migrant caravans from crossing into the u.s. the u.s. has put pressure on warring parties in yemen, calling for a piece talk and cease-fire. grisly details emerge about the journalist jamal khashoggi and they are upping the pressure on saudi arabia by releasing information and demanding answers. time for a look at the latest business news with stephen carroll. starting with wrecks it markets reacting to news of progress in talks with the eu. stephen: progress, or is it? it has been 24 hours of ups and downs on brexit talks. it was reported a deal had been , buton financial services in the past hour a spokesperson

for the british prime minister is denying that, saying talks are ongoing and it would be speculation to say a deal was close. another ray of hope on monday when a letter from the brexit minister wrote he was expecting an exit deal with the eu to be agreed by november 21. that comment taking some on the eu side by surprise, saying it is more of an aspiration. issue of the irish border has yet to be resolved. ireland foreign ministers said there must be movement from the u.k. by next week at the latest. >> we all know what the remaining barrier is in the context of the withdrawal treaty. thes very much linked to irish border question and the backstop that was committed to last december and last march, if there is followthrough on the commitments made, i believe there is a way forward that

negotiating teams can deliver. if it does not follow through on those commitments, it is hard to see how this gets done. stephen: trying to make sense of the market reaction to all this brexit news. senior market analyst, craig, thank you for joining us. withhas been going on sterling? seems like strong gains even though a mixed message on brexit. craig they are reacting to the more positive news. this is a scenario where it seseems there is no smoke withot fire. this financial services deal seems to have come out of nowhere. it has come from a very reputable source. markets are clinging onto it despite the fact that there has been objections. it is natural for there to be rejections of this particular story week as it relates to the future relationship of the two countries, something they claimed to not be discussed

until the exit is complete. it seems the markets are reading more into the reports than what the officials are saying. stephen: it seems investors are still pretty jittery about progress in the brexit talks. are we more likely to see this as we get closer to march, the smallest piece of news and the media will jump on it? >> i do not think it will be march. i think it is in the interest for a no deal brexit and that is why it will be avoided. there needs -- it needs to be done this year so parliament can go through the deal and ratify it. plenty of volatility, and numerous reports between now and then, probably almost on a daily basis as we have seen in the last 24 hours as we see signs the irish border and backstop are coming to an agreement. i think the pound will very much benefit. stephen: is there a feeling where you are that the financial services deal in some form will

be done and london will keep access to the eu markets? think the equivalent deal is most likely to be the formation of this future agreement. we have to remember the financial services in the u.k. is to the uk's benefit primarily , but it benenefits the eu greay as well. to break this up would be senseless. i think the eu is just aware of -- just as aware of this as the u.k. is, but it will be treated as a separate agreement from the customs arrangements. stephen: the bank of england are holding interest rates study. was there anything to surprise you? craig: we have not seen much of a move on the back of this, which would suggest the commentary relating to the fact that we could see industry move direction in the event of a no deal brexit seems to surprise some people. the forecasts were pretty much

in line with what we were ofecting on the prospect faster rate increases going forward if we get a smooth brexit. all of this is contingent on a smooth brexit and that is the most uncertain thing of all. stephen: thank you for joining us from london. let's check in on those numbers craig was just talking about, sterling rallying strongly against the dollar despite the mixed signals on the prospect of a financial services deal. sterling up over 1% on the dollar. also stronger against the euros, a you're aware of $.88. -- bureau worth -- euro worth $.88. business with the update, thank you very much. time now for the press review.
