live director our studios in moscow this is r t international sean thomas certainly glad to have you. our mystery surrounds the fate of a prominent saudi journalist who has been highly critical of the kingdom's royal family he has been missing for almost a week now after entering a saudi consulate in turkey there have been conflicting reports over what has happened and the world's media has been whipped into a frenzy over the story. as more on the journalists disappear. where is journalist jamal. what happened to him. for an entire week nobody has been able to answer that question and best to gators on the ground who might be the closest to solving the riddle believe he could have been brutally murdered behind the walls of the. the saudi consulate is stamboul alleged

details of how it was done and clued sending over a fifteen man a hit squad from the kingdom to make sure the man's dead anchor was shocked something so horrendous could have happened in istanbul this person is a journalist he went to the consulate to complete the paperwork needed to marry his fiance his fiancee stayed outside the consulate and he went in alone who was responsible for demonstrating that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate is responsible for that don't you have cameras there of course you do so you have to prove that he left the place why don't you do that you should prove it riyadh says it's got nothing to do with it all the claims are absolute blogs and official at the consulate general of the kingdom of saudi arabia in istanbul dismissed the report by reuters which cited turkish officials the saudi citizen jamal khashoggi was killed in the consulate in istanbul you fishel strongly

denounce these baseless allegations and express his down to that they came from turkish officials they were informed of the investigation or authorized to comment on the issue the saudi kingdom's transparency record has been poor to say the least but in a rare display of openness there officials even invited warders on a tour around the consulate. jamal who lives in works in the u.s. but to obtain a license to get married he had to see saudi officials is definitely been to the consulate twice on september the twenty eighth and last tuesday that was when he disappeared now here's what's crucial mr has saudi writes about the saudi government and it's not exactly glowing actually had been worried something bad could happen to him before the second visit to the consulate the journalists left his cell phone with his fiance with instructions on what to do if he didn't come out. soon the woman called turkish police four hours later when jamal was nowhere

to be seen saudi officials say his stay at the compound was very short they're sure the journalist vanished once he stepped outside now they're looking for him to mr who is fiance is full of hope he's not been killed but kidnapped rather. the story's been picked up by media all over the world one of the newspapers jamal wrote for the washington post came out with a blank column where they were supposed to print his piece but that hasn't helped there's been no trace of the man i am concerned about is i don't like hearing about it and hopefully that will. sort itself out right now nobody knows anything about it this is a pretty sad story i do not like this is outrageous that he's been somehow disappeared the administration needs to demand his release it is absolutely an

acceptable and a further sign that this crackdown on free speech is getting more serious we should probably be rethinking the political and military blanching we've been giving the saudis what if the journalists never found alive donald trump's latest all related comments have already made washington react relations somewhat complicated the disappearance and the possible murder of jamal. may well make them much more tricky . we asked a turkish affairs expert hey cohen. and seen. from the country's a ruling a k p party for their thoughts on the case the two states are not willing to escalate the situation today the turkish foreign ministry asked the saudi consulate to open the gates of the consulate so that they can get in in order to search for we still don't have any evidences you know. we can't exclude the possibility

of the third party was in the walton this case after all the current situation is not about been there were no protests. against a russian foreign affairs minister sergey lavrov said that the situation surrounding the so-called russian spies and the netherlands is a deceptive maneuver and that the story was made public especially i had a senior nato meeting between minister is so that the timing is not at all accidental. mixed martial arts star. has just returned home to a hero's welcome in russia's republic of dagestan after beating conor mcgregor in last vegas in the fight of the year these are the pictures from the stadium and. showed off his title belt to cheering crowds thousands of devoted fans gathered to greet the champion who holds the longest unbeaten record in tournaments history our reporter danny armstrong was there. and she i really know where thousands and

thousands of fans are gathered to see their hero. the u.s. see like we shall get across here at that fantastic victory over kind of a great weekend going by fourth round technical submission by read make it show jory not fight here in. thousands and thousands of funds just as they hit inside the stadium were inside movie theaters restaurants where i was showing a live broadcast they were absolutely crazy when he was announced that when i was. happened in the it's a good outside of course was a brawl when the fight was stopped that will be sorted out in las vegas since it finds whether he will be shipped. just as there was join the fight as a party atmosphere. heavy but let's not forget the first russian fights it's when you see championships and he defended the weekends in the best way possible by shows most of us the push thank you for coming here and submitting me thank you chairing no sleep and one night i saw that. in all of the i stand and right across

russia many more times than i met your expectations thank you brought us out either i'm very much i was coming and supporting me by design this way i feel embarrassed because so many people are here to see and support me a person i mean thank you very much for that. the fight ended in scandal though when sparked a huge brawl after leaping out of the octagon to front connors coach for taunting him conor is also in trouble after a video emerged showing him punching beebs teammate father and coach who met him at the airport gave his reaction to the events. they say on the scale from one to five the fight was for close but his jump out of the ocean cannot be assessed in any way. you know there's a discipline must come first i think i should punch him from the right or the left

straight to the airport and say what did we teach you. the fight conforms to what we expected in the first round in the very first minute we managed to control mcgregor to pin him imposed the fight speed that worked him out in the second round we managed to carry out that plan. a un report notes an appalling increase in the number of civilian casualties in afghanistan victims from bombings using improvised explosive devices or i e d's have risen twenty one percent in the last year deaths from suicide attacks are even worse forty six percent the report shares the story of a teenager injured in one such attack i was taking part in a cricket match at the time after the game some of the guests were to give speeches but before those got under way i heard an explosion and saw smoke i saw my blood and realised that been injured i started running there was a second explosion and i fell to the ground and lost consciousness it's inhuman to

attack players it's a game or it has been seventeen years since the start of the us invasion of afghanistan despite the war the taliban has only increased its influence and now controls almost half the entire country. on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan. caliban willing to come to the negotiating table there's no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban and the only path to peace and political

legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trembles as a hero. in the first movie picked up from the taliban side even the boys before the call from protect their choices are to reconcile living a relevance for doc. the director of the u.k.'s crisis research institute says washington doesn't want to admit defeat in a failed invasion. well we're seeing the real radicalization of afghanistan on almost the syrian model if you like ironically as the civil war in syria has wound down there's been an increase in bars and afghanistan and it's probably the most violent of these conflicts in the world at the moment the use of these kinds of attacks is way both spectacular it's also very unsettling because what it does it shows that the afghan government and its allies the americans and british and so on

can't really control the situations of britain and america from afghanistan recently through syria and libya and should have shown we're very good at destroying things smashing up our own but we don't we do reconstruction any more just look at the fate of mosul in iraq or rock or in syria the divided councils in washington i think probably trump would like to disengage from any of these wars which will cost sleep both money and men for the americans and not particularly successful on the other hand the pentagon doesn't want to admit defeat and the taliban of course since in that perhaps it's getting close to the victory on its turfs doesn't feel the need to talk to the americans but the taliban also may feel that talking to russia talking to the neighbors or afghanistan in moscow will help to create a situation a p a a post-war settlement in afghanistan will be acceptable to the neighbors. a candlelit vigil has been held in the bulgarian capital in honor of an investigative journalist who was brutally murdered over the weekend and he's
