the voice of benjamin netanyahu adding to their backing that he's been speaking at a conference in bulgaria he says that while the investigation should be carried out and the people responsible should be held to account no one should forget how important saudi arabia is in the region and in the world what. is the book consulate was horrendous and should be do go with you're saying. it's very important for the stability. of the region and of the world that saudi arabia remains stable and i think that a way must be found to achieve both. so why don't we know with the investigation well so do rabia has invited turkey to saudi arabia to interview those eighteen people come being held there well the except well the decision when it would expect it to be announced in the next couple of days but the turks so what do you that if they do that then they might be giving up the advantage in their calls to have these people extradited they also want to know who the so-called local cooperator was the turks argument is that that was a turkish citizen who committed clearly an offense by disposing of a body

position i know they have benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel he's been at a conference in bulgaria and he has been seeing that the understand that this investigation has to be carried out the have to find out who was responsible but he's also reminding a global audience and those who are willing to listen that saudi arabia is a key player not just in the middle east but globally as well and so he's essentially warning caution not to push this too far as we know or the turks without seeing it explicitly have pointed the finger at the current prince mohammed bin solomon he's certainly been working hard to develop a relationship with benjamin netanyahu because of their joint opposition to iran so perhaps that puts benjamin netanyahu comments in bulgaria in the last few hours in a bit more perspective alan fischer in istanbul thank you andrew chappelle pick one moment for me out of the month of extraordinary moments what's the one that has galvanized people the most fortunate we have some.

expanded into other countries with other people don't in yellow vests in countries such as belgium in bulgaria in germany and we heard would that also the protest has spread to spain now we were in cali last night where there were some skirmishes between the police to protesters were trying to take over one of the main roads one of their actions that they've been trying to do over the last week is to try and block traffic to stop the circulation of traffic as they make up protest particularly about the tax on fuel we were in the middle of a plume of tear gas that came to just as the police tried to move those protesters away to clear the roads let's have a look now over the last seven days of this protest which has been taking place across france. well here on the show in silesia as you can see there's our rallies gathering behind me and there is a room of a police of vehicles that there's police vehicles trying to stop the protests is from going down the shields elisi towards that area plus the local college where they were hoping to make that protest the purchases being given another area in

today was that nato's presence in the black sea was a really significant obviously turkey rumanian bulgaria three major states that border the black sea and that they would be continuing to hold their normal maneuvers there i think this is more about internal politics present poroshenko talking to his internal audience and saying that you know he has a good connection to the west essentially this is looking much more like it's going to go in a political direction we heard today from germany from angela merkel who called on both sides to sort of step away from the brink and it seems even though moscow had initially refused the offer of mediation from germany a lot of this communication is now going through germany interesting enough when present person tried to call the kremlin on the weekend when this all broke this news of the ships detained the kremlin didn't take his cool and he had to cool angela merkel to get any kind of communication going with moscow i'm going to share with you know that in russia next to the strait of cash people are saying. well phil i am on i am in the first city

european legislation in terms of arming isis then send the arms to the us they could send them to bulgaria and eventually they'll get. isis and other groups ostensibly responsibly fighting in this war on terror so yeah did this get lots of ways to circumvent this and so i think that the inclusion of the us in this restriction is probably a good idea do you think that the e.u. would have named the us if relations between the tell me so prickly at the moment. yeah possibly not obviously there is this lot's going on with that with it in that relationship at the moment we have mack on. and and angela merkel calling for an e.u. military unit unification and actually calling it that but this is the call of an e.u. army that seems to have upset trump. i don't think that that is that part of the relationship will be affected because the e.u. military so unification that's been on the cards for twenty or thirty years now so i think that's going ahead despite bricks and gauche oceans on going whether that is becomes a threat tonight so or even means a night or will it will be unfit for purpose who k

have been forced into prostitution including one hundred thousand children most of whom come from bulgaria romania and germany that's the official figure the real number could be even higher than the juvenile protection provided it's a police unit in paris specialized in rescuing children forced to beg and steal usually by criminal networks from eastern europe. the perpetrators face harsh sentences in french courts then in germany. others just be they thought it a good talker an essential part of our work they insist also freeing the children and moving them to safety and the through a lot of money is being made with these children. if you remove them from the criminal line of business for example or alone stealing eight i phones a day that's a lot of money but it's a blow to their business. the other way to grapple that is to identify how it is that they will get the money they will manage to grow and to work with the authorities in their countries of origin to seize these assets with equal sweet i mean if you take away the children they are using to earn this money is going to seize thei

also no with benjamin netanyahu he's been speaking just in the last few hours at a conference in bulgaria and he suggested that while it is important that the investigation finds out who was responsible for this what shouldn't be forgotten so important so de rigueur is in the region and in the world what happened. and will cancel it was horrendous and it should be doing. you know the single most. it's very important for the stability of the world of the region and of all that saudi arabia remains. a way must be found to achieve all. no should be forgotten that the turks are currently considering an offer from saudi arabia to fly investigators in to saudi arabia to speak to those eighteen people currently being held in connection with the death of jamal khashoggi that decision will finally be taken at the higher reaches of government but they are very keen that the extradition does go ahead as i say it's one month since jamal khashoggi was was killed here his family would still like to have something that they can bury to say goodbye to a man that they considered to be a good writer and a
