and a former f.b.i. agent is sentenced to four years in prison for leaking classified information. he had hoped his revelations would make a difference. it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from last year with me in india today a very warm welcome to the program. saudi arabia has a finally admitted that a journalist who went missing over a fortnight ago in turkey died in what they described as a fistfight inside a consulate in istanbul riyadh has already sacked two senior officials and arrested eighteen others linked to the case but german chancellor angela merkel is demanding further clarification from the saudis over what happened press freedom group reporters without. this is also calling for sustained international pressure to
3:02 pm
establish the incident played out the explanation provided by riyadh was quickly dismissed as improbable and sparked an intense backlash from journalists and politicians as well it also contradicts earlier claims that she left the consulate shortly after arriving there are calls now for the gulf monarchy to bear full responsibility for what happened u.s. president donald trump says he is satisfied with the latest account. the discussions that took place with the citizen jamal khashoggi during his presence in the consulates of the kingdom in istanbul by the suspects did not go as required and developed in a negative way to a fight in a quarrel between some of them and the citizen jamal khashoggi liberal aggravated to lead to his death and their attempt to conceal and cover what happened. i do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't really sure we view or investigation.
3:03 pm
i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen fifty nine year old jamal khashoggi had lived in the u.s. for the past year working as a washington post columnist is thought years prior he had been close to the saudi monarchy but was later critical of crown prince mohammed bin solomon's policies she had also join attention to the women's rights and the war in yemen he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second to pick up a document for his upcoming wedding shortly after his disappearance turkey announced it had video and audio records of the journalist alleged killing by a saudi hip team that still hasn't been made public when the case first gained global attention president trump threatened with a severe punishment but that appears not to include scrapping the multi-billion dollar arms contracts between the gulf and washington. great ally
3:04 pm
but what happened is not acceptable but i would prefer that we don't you. can see hundred billion dollars worth of work they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of the 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 in order. to create jobs create jobs. for this country live now steve malzberg a t.v. host and political commentator good to have you on the program again steve now. and this story is certainly gripped the international community hasn't the sides now describe what's happened in the consulate as a quarrel and brawl that led to death what do you think about the incident do you
3:05 pm
think it's been sugarcoated or does it really look like it took weeks to establish what happened. well i don't think that it's a plausible explanation at all it's one man against one sixty year old man against several other men no matter what kind of quarrel could have developed i mean he was unarmed and nobody made the claim that he had a gun or he was threatening people with some kind of weapon so how he would stop dead in a quarrel is ridiculous of course it's being sugarcoated it's and it's an absurd explanation the fact that they took all this time to come up with something and that's the best they could come up with is rather pathetic i think i mean what we've seen we've seen all sorts of reactions really unsign and says well in the last few weeks the west you know they they've threatened severe consequences but at the same time we saw in a clip earlier donald trump saying they want to fact he doesn't want it to affect
3:06 pm
that multibillion dollar deal what do you think those severe consequences are going to be. i think they'll be sanctions individual sanctions more likely than sanctions against the entire country of saudi arabia and i got to say not withstanding that i think this is all a tick you list explanation i don't i'm not favoring ending diplomatic relations with saudi arabia i'm not favoring severe sanctions against saudi arabia if you took a vote of the american public right now and said hey either we sanction them to death or and you pay seven dollars a gallon of gas or we don't really sanction that tough what do you think the american public is going to say we don't want to pay seven dollars a gallon of gas that's a possibility but perhaps more importantly saudi arabia has become a key ally with the united states against iran and we cannot
3:07 pm
discard saudi arabia and hand over the middle east to the uranium as we just cannot do that and the saudis have an established a closer relationship with israel and iran is a common enemy their key player in the fight against terrorism i add they provide a lot of money coming into this country so look hillary clinton the clinton foundation took twenty million dollars from the saudis over the years where the saudis angel they've been you know it's against the law to be gay they treat women like garbage i mean this is been going on for years i think that the media is making this into something because i mean it is it's horrible but because donald trump is president and no matter what he does they get to attack donald trump and say he didn't do the right thing there are even saying that he is responsible for the death because of the tone he said it's all about going after trump. well if we go back to the case you know riyadh has admitted the fact that he has died
3:08 pm
surely they should be giving more details for example whether. i'm the stanton arsenal that requesting that the location be given a rule to know what do you think should have axed. well i don't even i don't even know i mean you know turkey keeps telling us they have already you know in video tape of the first they said already you had video now they say audio they claimed that pompei of the secretary of state of the us heard it he said no. nobody has come forth with this audiotape the how how they could not know again talk about cause disability how they could not know where the body is because they gave it to a third party in turkey i mean. the whole thing smells you know what probably happened what we heard originally through the grapevine they probably chopped off gotten out of boxes and disintegrated the body with acid or shipped it off to saudi arabia who knows i don't think we're ever going to see that body those remains i
3:09 pm
severely doubt it it's a horrible horrible thing but from a u.s. standpoint it's not enough to sever relations with the country that we need to work with against iran i mean it is improved in politics as in this case and you know as if it couldn't become a big disaster the side of things but you know politicians activists and. demanding from riyadh in terms of an explanation could this become an even bigger disaster for them yeah it certainly could if you it remains to be seen how the prince mohammed bin some and comes out in all this because supposedly one of the top security people who was in that embassy was at the closest of friends and with that with the prince you know the prince is the quote unquote reformer not so much really he's cracked down tremendously but well the king penalize the prince the
3:10 pm
prince is very close with the trumpet ministration it's going to really have to sort itself out and it's going to very interesting to see how it does play out yes certainly is steve malzberg t.v. has some political content to thank you as a with the coming into the program. artie's going underground host after she returns he spoke to a friend of jamal khashoggi who says the journalist expected to be arrested. always insisted until the day he died and i had a discussion with them only hours before he disappeared he insisted he wasn't an opposition member against the war family he was just a critic of some of the policies adopted by the crown prince he was very anxious that the country was taking a turn into what is worse he was he was afraid or he was concerned about its future that's why he wrote what he wrote of he was never
3:11 pm
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. now around fifteen hundred a belgian place officers have called in sick on mass there protesting having to work extra hours caused by staff shortages as well as reforms to that pensions. to the police to the police motorcycle units from. brussels is reinforced some issues with all of them called indiscernible toxicity as we found out the prime minister even had to go in with the army he.
3:12 pm

3:13 pm
we ask questions but we don't get answers they say we're lazy and just give you the the minister has no facts to back up your claim that happen for all the time and we're sick and tired of it. at least twenty eight have been killed and one hundred injured in several blast that rocked the afghan capital saturday's parliamentary election. has the details in couple. it was quite tense day for afghan security because of provinces. they were highly attacked and there have been. one thousand eight hundred security threats many of them have been prevented by afghan security forces two hundred and ninety two attacks carried out by militants across the country that killed dozens of

3:15 pm
a legitimate government that's why they claim that this is a puppet government and people should not. justify to empower the process that is according to the taleban is an american or a western process we still have to wait and see what will happen next because the election process has been extended by the independent election commission for the next day which is tomorrow. people were hopeful and they had a very big turnout early in the morning became an hour before the election started but later after a couple of hours when there was a delay there were several technical issues the presents of the. election. staff were not visible. many hours in many polling stations that's why. you know during the large time we many
