we ask a question in the script we don't get answers they say we're lazy and just abuse the sick leave for the minister has no facts to back up his claims that happens all the time and we're sick and tired of it. there's three pm saturday afternoon here in moscow my name is kevin owen welcome to this latest live update from me at international newsroom first the saudi arabia has finally admitted that a journalist who went missing over a fortnight ago in turkey died in a fistfight inside its consulate in istanbul riyadh has already such two senior officials and arrested eighteen others linked to the case press freedom group reporters without borders are now calling for strong sustained international pressure on the saudis to establish what exactly happened. provided by riyadh was swiftly dismissed as improbable sparked an intense backlash from. listen

politicians as well it also contradicts earlier saudi claims that because she left the consulate shortly after arriving there there are calls now for the gulf want to keep to bear full responsibility for what happened u.s. president donald trump though says he's satisfied with the latest account the discussions that took place with the citizen jamal khashoggi during his presence in the consulate of the kingdom in istanbul by the suspects did not go as required and developed in a negative way led to a fight and a quarrel between some of them and the citizen jamal khashoggi yet liberal aggravated to lead to his death and their attempt to conceal and cover what happened to considerable. i do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't traditionally view or investigation but it's. i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen if the nine year old marcus shuggie did in the u.s. for the past year working as a washington post columnist it's thought years prior to that he'd been close to the

saudi monarchy but was later critical of the policies of the de facto leader crown prince mohammed bin solomon also drawn attention to saudi women's rights and the war in yemen he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul or on october the second to pick up a document for his upcoming wedding that was the last that was seen of him shortly after his disappearance turkey announced it had all the recordings of the journalists alleged killing by a saudi hit team is artie's down cohen in washington with more. king solomon has fired five top officials and arrested eighteen people among those fired our current crown prince mohammed bin advisor sowed ok to any and deputy intel intelligence chief major general ahmed all of siri they're being investigated about the case.

the white white house press secretary sara sanders has released a statement saying these are the exact words the united states acknowledges the announcement from the kingdom of saudi arabia that its investigation into the fate of jemaah hausherr ji is progressing and that it has taken action against the suspects it has identified thus far we will continue to closely follow the international investigations so the saudi version that we are hearing tonight about a fistfight that led to his death is very different from what the turks have been leaking through the international press turkish intelligence have been claiming that a saudi hit team of fifteen people killed within just a matter of minutes after harsher g.

arrived at the saudi embassy in istanbul they claim to have video and audio recording showing the saudi team listening to music through headphones as they cut g.'s fingers off beheaded him and dismembered his body with a bone saw president trump has called on the turkey to release the audio and video if it exists this has led to unprecedented scrutiny. of saudi arabia and its relationship with the trumpet ministration much of the outrage has been specifically directed at the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin sound man we've seen protests outside the white house here in washington and democrats are seizing on the trumpet administration's relationship with saudi arabia as midterm elections near so it depends where the a by the explanation or not let's talk about this is gideon levy a columnist of the israeli newspaper ha'aretz

a there thanks for your time today politicians activists journalists they've already started to question rears explanation of what's going on here and push all these death could this turn out to be an even bigger p.r. disaster for the saudis if generally this this story is not bore. you are i mean if you will be so tragic it could be quite funny because this explanation you know which one single really is not a very young. stance in the fight against fifteen. armed to. the security team and these five developed into. i mean i don't think that anyone can take this seriously but what worries me much more is the american reaction i mean in the then the except see it and that's the power or often the loaf one hundred ten billion dollars one hundred ten billion

dollars can buy any troops kinsale any lie. going back to the side of the story if this is all correct where is his body is the next question. it's not the only question i mean sure this is one of the questions but there are some more questions how can it help ernie that unicorns. how can it be that he'd get into such a five hundred. each someone has to be murder one single lonely person we know he entered the consulate by himself nobody in come by any team he was not armed so the whole story is so far fetched that really the whole body can take it serious anything to be read into the fire the saudis in this statement used the word dead and they don't say killed in this particular case could the be certain to be read into that you know maybe the guy could about a heart to heart attack or something to an altercation.

maybe committed suicide maybe he cut his body into pieces by his own hands everything is possible according to the saudi logic but they seem to grade you really the truce will be revealed and we will know exactly what happened there and then it will be obviously a very big list but i'm not sure that there's going to pay any price for it and the world is far too cynical president trump mentioning just now he's promised punishment for the saudis if there is involvement provan here but she also said just now he's very very careful not to put those multibillion arms deals on the line with the country so how can he move forward with this what can he do how can he punish the saudis. no need to punish the saudis are punishing them serves you heard or read the that some of these team will be punished the

fifteen people eighteen people who will be punished by these saudi arabia had made just these but i'm sure the president trump would just pull out to the sky and go for punishment and this kind of justice what do you think again going back to the saudi story here if what they're saying is true we don't know but why is it taken two weeks for the saudis to admit that he was dead because initially they said he'd left the consulate. look it's very hard to look for logic because you can start to ask from the first place easy the best way to assess innate somebody i mean there are so many other ways rather than doing it in a cold so late he needs. i mean. more stupid than this it cannot get so i don't look for any logic everything went wrong here from the beginning until the end including hiding maybe the hope that he will revive maybe the hope that the

world will just ignore it but this didn't happen. time get in leave economist at the israeli newspaper ha'aretz. who in the case first got a global attention president trump threatens riyadh with severe punishment didn't he but that appears not to include as we've just been talking about scrapping those multi-million dollar arms contracts between the monarchy and washington. saudi arabia has been a great ally but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't use as retribution cancelling one hundred ten billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of their order russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military equipment or things

that create jobs like jobs and others for this country has gone on to grow knows how she returns he spoke to a friend of jamal khashoggi who says the journalist expected to be arrested. he always insisted until the day he died and i had a discussion with him wallie hours before he disappeared he insisted he wasn't. an opposition member against the war as i me he was just a critic of some of the policies adopted by the crown prince he was very anxious that the country was sticking. into what is worse he was he was afraid or he was concerned about its future that's why he wrote what you wrote of he was never a member of the opposition he knew if he went back. he would have been arrested and probably sent behind bars like that like some of his other friends.

again thanks for watching today in russia greeting friends and relatives who said the final goodbyes to the twenty victims of a gunman opened fire on fellow students at a college in the city of coach but amid the pain the stories of also emerged two of heroic quick thinking actions which prevented more deaths. urge is a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school or college shooting or thought they did but some hatreds

evidently buried too deep because i stalk a few it's so common these are very common tragedy our town is really small everyone knows each other the blast and the following rampage with catastrophic injury and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and styria as teenagers and staff fled for their lives. in that chaos heroes when they just just my friend willing seen was there he helped his friend corner who was injured in the blast he covered him to shield him from the bullets they're both in hospital now has a shopping wound and winning team is paralyzed nobody knows whether he will be able to walk again but from the horrors of this massacre some good has emerged selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery when teenagers barely older than

children acted as few adults ever cool but it got the better of course if you're going to they have just graduated when this happened these guys were throwing rocks at their attacker they were trying to distract him because behind his back there were a group of kids mostly girls trying to escape so these guys decided to divert the shooter's attention to help the girls these four boys are dead now which are. sitting. i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people bleeding land on benches it was awful. about. immutability mines i saw a guy being attacked i try to help him but it was too late then i saw my friend something was wrong with his legs he couldn't walk so i tracked him all the way to the ponce. the mushy it is now you will never

know every accept heroism and kindness that took place last now in the confusion the adrenaline the modesty and in death but it wasn't just the students it was also bystanders volunteers and good samaritans. who said i work nearby when i heard what happened i came here to help anyone i could see there were people without limbs just lying on the street everyone tried to help more so. to get more of. when the wounded began to overwhelm local clinics the medical students jumped in to help. them but when it happened we were at our medical college we were in class when a teacher stormed in and said they need people to help with the injured so we rushed to the hospital we had no time to even put our lab coats on we started to

take people out of the ambulances for emergency help people just kept on coming for several hours it's fair to say that when the killer struck the stuff the students were utterly unprepared it's also fair to say that no amount of readiness in the world would prepare any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria or mania blitzing through the car doors but even stalled. confusion panic fear with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life to live. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is peace for good. we're going to oversee a correspondent there takes a live event now in central london these coming through from the hyde park area to

check out what's happening there. protest in the center the march expected to draw in about one hundred thousand strong and organized by the people's vote campaign people gathering in parliament square initially has been underway for an hour and a half now they're demanding a referendum on a final deal but its promise of course has previously dismissed calls for a second referendum interesting to see as well in the north ukip former ukip leader leading a probe brix it really a good convention center the sultan in to keep an eye on the. next story still in london clean your room pay the bills and you're on top of it look after your cat to the edges some of the strict new house rules being imposed on julius sarge while he's a living guest still of course so many years now at the ecuadorian embassy in london but the wiki leaks founder says vose rules violate his human rights so he's going to sue the ecuadorian government which has been sheltering him for the last six

years now wiki leaks has confirmed that a lawyer has followed the case against their code or had his internet access cut off several months ago it's been partially restored this week has to be said. also blocked meetings between the sergeants moyer's journalists and human rights groups now we subjected to what's known as special protocol and some particularly stringent housekeeping to boot. prosecutors charges against twenty twelve they were eventually suspended those

charges but remain stuck in the embassy because he's wanted by british police for skipping bail he's fear is that he'd be extradited to the u.s. for leaking details of civilian deaths in the wars in iraq and afghanistan human rights activist peter tatchell thinks the new rules are designed to encourage him to leave that embassy. these special protocols which are quite extraordinary directly a response to the pressure that the ecuadorian facing from the united states all of these rules. terry with no right of appeal. is an ecuadorian citizen he was granted this is chip he has the rights of a citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to do is in violation of its own laws and own constitution this kind of restriction is enough to drive someone to

a mental breakdown. that is the intention to make life so on bearable for during a song that he will voluntarily decide to be. that's the way i think most people including people in the human rights community are reading it this is basically an ultimatum to joining us. right up so far always so much more because. that's good or bad survival guide ecstacy going to the store to have all these are . you sure they're going to get it. back to. oh no this is a repatriation scheme when we get arrested seven years. military you guys record. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president and sure. some want to be. too great to be approached this is like the full story of the book can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. there should be more. news in the world. underwater. or not we do not want to. go to. see this move for you.
