after the army, dorian perez studied agriculture.in north carolina. he was married at the time of al—dora, but he is single now. i came back, assumed everything was how it was when i left, and actually she realised that she no longer had those feelings to me. i remember that the me into a bad spot, but i didn't get hateful or anything —— that puts me into a bad spot. the dorian and the others, troubled relationships heralded further battles, struggles of the mind that loom just around the corner. dorian has gone to the vietnam war memorial in washington. his father is a vetera n in washington. his father is a veteran of that war and perhaps it was his example that led dorian into combat. but people who have experienced battle know that it can leave a bitter legacy in the mind, post—traumatic stress disorder. leave a bitter legacy in the mind, post-traumatic stress disorder. my original position was that ptsd is not real, it is in the people are using to get some money from the v8. i went out walking with the unit because i was part o

it is nearly ten years since ben and dorian met.r first sergeant has travelled up to pennsylvania to put that right. this is great because i have a long distance, and for close quarters i have a 45 degree offset. both of them have suffered from their experience of violence. but both of them find in firearms comfort, and a hedge against the anxiety that iraq has left them with. i get out of the army and i have my pistol, my a5. and i guess that was my comfort, you know? it's like — you get so used to sleeping with your weapon within arm's reach, you know? my pistol started off at my nightstand. and i don't know how, but i ended up sleeping with it under my pillow. my hypervigilance went up as time progressed. i wanted it closer and closer. this is not like a pistol with a cold chamber, it is locked and loaded, ready for someone to come to the door. for nick, this bar has become a place to switch off after work at a nearby mental health clinic. but like many an old soldier, he has not found his relationship with alcohol easy. his moth

dorian: that is one of the objectives of this operation.hat we understand is from sources linked to the investigation they have already uncovered what they claim is forensic evidence similar to what was recovered at the saudi consulate confirmrms their suspicions that khashoggi was indeed murder. following these discoveries they went back to the saudi consulate building to follow up with a second investigation, possibly's searching the same place for forensic evidence. they appear to be making progress and further searches of both buildings are expected in the coming days. brent: more gruesome details emerged today about how mr. khashoggi died. what did we learn today? dorian: yeah,h, thisas from a newswspaper link to v very closl with the turkikish governmenent. they p published what t they sas a story taken from audio recordings takaken in the last hours of khashoggi's detenenon at the saudi consulatete. they claimim it recocorded him g brutally tortured. onee part o of the newewaper articlcle suggested he had his fifingers cut o off. sub

dorian: absolututely.oboth turkey anand saudirabia e two of the most powerful countries in the region. they already have a deeply strained relation. i think ankara realizes they have to play thihis carefully.. also saudi arabia is a key trading partner. the economy is not in good shape at the moment so they will not want to jeopardize those trade dealings. ankara realizes it has to tread carefully over this potentially explosive situation. phil: do investigators still believe jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saududi consulatate? dorian: t these officialsls ovee weekend have poiointed fingersrs saying they y believe khasashogi had been killed. that has not been repeateded in publicly a any -- by any turkish official since. the turkish president monday in that -- did not repeat those allegations of alyssa a they tae the allegation seriously. we are hearing in some pro-government meeting -- media suggesting he could still be alive. officials are still briefing journalists say they most likely outctcome

well for more let's go now straight to istanbul where date of use dorian jones is standing by and dorian the turkish side as we've been hearing there they've been driving these revelations about death with a steady stream of leaks to the media for weeks now do we have any indication of what erika one can say today with the studio. well i apologize i've just been informed by my producer that dorian jones in fact cannot hear us there in istanbul we were coming to him to ask him a little bit more about this statement that's expected later today from the turkish president. who is expected to as he has said in his words reveal the naked truth about shakti stuff but in the meantime let's turn to some other news now as you can see here we have my colleague esther joining us here on the set she is going to be telling us a little bit more about a story that is coming out of germany and the country is rapidly growing solidest islamic community salafism is a strict doctrine whose adherence advocate shari'a law and you've actually been investigating this as part of a d w online investigation we know

our correspondent dorian jones he is on the story for us tonight in istanbul good evening to you dorian let's start with the whereabouts of the syrian or the saudi rather consul can we confirm that he has fled the country tonight and do we know what investigators are looking for inside his residence. media have confirmed that he has left the country where he's actually fled or has just been recalled by riyadh it's still unclear. to the death of. they say that the saudi journalist was beaten and interrogated in the. main office at the consulate in the presence of the consul general and then he was subsequently murdered and his body then with dismembered in the in the office of the consul general in itself and these forces coming from turkish sources that say they have to back their claims old of has to be said this is an anonymous source and riyadh is. but it does appear that the investigators are all focusing on these and now his residence possibly looking for the remains of the body which is believed to have been dismembered and we confirmed that they are looking for the remains of the

all i will from where i'm now joined by our correspondent in istanbul dorian jones dorian vanished a week ago are the saudis now cooperating with the turkish investigation. but we do understand the officials will be allowing the chair of the saudi consulate this is been a key demand of turkish authorities for some time although it has to be said that most experts say that if there has been foul play committed if you expect there will be any evidence from amy in the consulate in particular if you expect to find . being killed or not. so i think it's more a gesture on the saudis that they are now cooperating with turkish officials in this situation right and it's been a week of course since his disappearance what hard evidence do the turkish investigators have in this case and how are they following up on their early. well there really that has been a criticism that they have seen these allegations made that possibly he had even been murdered the consulate but there's no real evidence to support these claims we understand now took officials are now focusing on two but i found that belo

all right let's get your reaction now from washington and istanbul dorian jones standing by in istanbul and major in d.c. dorian want to give you the first word the pastor has been sentenced but we're getting reports that he's already on his way back to the u.s. you know i'm hearing these reports too yes pasta was convicted of terrorism and espionage charges but was only sentenced to three years and one month that's much less than the thirty five years the prosecutors were originally calling for the reason why this sentence is very very reduced is the fact that all four of the key prosecution witnesses today have recanted their statements one even said they don't even know who argue bronson was on the up and said that the court had misunderstood their original statements that open the ball to a much lower sentence and given the fact the group has served nearly two years in pretrial detention much of it in solitary confinement he has now been deemed time served and allowed to leave the country and we understand that possibly he even on a plane as we speak. might want to go to you in d.c.

our correspondent dorian jones he is on the story for us tonight in istanbul good evening to you dorian let's start with the whereabouts of the syrian or the saudi rather console can we confirm that he has fled the country tonight dorian and do we know what investigators are looking for inside his residence. well turkish media have confirmed he has left the country where he's actually fled or has just been recalled by riyadh is still unclear but the. saudi consul is becoming the focal point of this investigation to sources linked to the investigation have again been briefing international media tonight and they've been directly linking the console to the death of. they say that the saudi journalist was beaten and interrogated in the. main office at the consulate in the president of the consul general and then he was subsequently murdered and his body then was dismembered in the in the office of the consul general in itself and these these forces coming from turkish sources are saying they have to back their claims although it has to be said this is an anonymous source and riyadh is grow

and for more let's bring in correspondent dorian jones who is standing by in istanbul dorian as we just heard president once said that the killing was premeditated that they have strong evidence to support that why didn't he put forward though more evidence yesterday like the alleged audiotape for example what could the strategy. well indeed but i think the president did just enough he lay out what they say is powerful circumstantial evidence these three teams that were involved in the killing of. the careful preparations ahead of that which indicated this was a carefully premeditated planned and in fact for now at least does have the it appears the international community behind them in their in their narrative of events isolating but he didn't use the nuclear option this talk of these ordeal and elated a videotape recording the last minutes of khashoggi which according to turkish investigators show that he was tortured executed and then his body dismembered this is in many ways turkey's most powerful piece of leverage at the same time releasing it would possibly compromise its intelli

let's start with jordan -- with dorian jones. he disappeared one week ago with no trace o of him, what is going on? dorian: turkishututhoritieses he been ramamping up their vestigatation. they havave strong leads. they believe the tensision is focusing on this so-calleled 15 member legends have a hit team, which arrived the d day before e went to ththe consulate and in e evening of his disapaparance, they left the country on p prive jets. thee turkish authohorities claim they have identified at least eight of the team, they are believed to be linked to saudi intelllligence. one hasas forensic c skills andt has led toto speculation that he could've been ininvolved in dismemberiring the b body and tt being taken out t in one of f te saudi consulate's black vans that left in a convoy of six vehicles. itit hasas emerged that most ofe staff of b because letet, inclug all the turkisish citizens were asked to leave the building before h his arrival. this is fueleling furthe speculatioion that foul plplay s appaparent. saudi ofofficials

or corresponded dorian jones on the story for us tonight in stamboul doria thank you. for more on the international pressure that is facing saudi arabia tonight i'm joined by daniel gairloch he is an expert on the middle east angels good to see you again what should we make in your opinion of the solti consuls departure from turkey. well certainly the consul enjoys diplomatic immunity but you don't know in which direction the the mood the general atmosphere is going to swing in turkey. would he have to cooperate would he have to provide information it is also possible that he was not involved in the plan if it was if it's really true that this was a hit team operation a role could team up aeration then a very limited number of people were involved in all the details of this but certainly something like this if it was an operation that when saw that when wrong or it was intel if it was intended to kill in that manner which i doubt it was intended but it's not i'm not it would not impossible the top government officials those that are in charge of the security operations

there is no firm evidence proving that it is involved the world's a complicated place these days dorian just talk us through the conflicting diplomatic notes that this is tying the three countries into turkey saudi arabia and the united states. well you know i mean this happens at a point when the relations between on current riyadh are at rock bottom these two regional powers have been butting heads all across the region and relations are in a very difficult place but it has to be said at the same time saudi arabia is a very important trading partner for turkey and turkey doesn't want to jeopardize those relations because the turkish economy is in a place so it is increasingly looking to washington for support in its stance against putting pressure on riyadh to the father on crays aware that it is pretty much isolated in the middle east it needs the support of washington but here there is a problem because president trump does have very good relations with crown prince mohammed bin solomon and those two leaders do get on very well close ties of working in the region and also important

and for more let's go straight to istanbul now where dorian jones is standing by so dorian as we heard there the turkish side has been driving these revelations about the show with a steady stream of leaks to the media for weeks now do we have any indication of what aired one could say today. what we have to understand is that since the therefore. there has been no official presentation of any kind of real evidence everything we know has come from leaks from what is known as anonymous sources leaked to the investigation at the same time president heard one has taken very much of a strain backseat approach letting these leaks dictate the agenda that is all going to change today when president presents what he says is the full extent of their investigation now there are two things people will be looking for one is there's been a lot of talk about video and audiotapes capturing the last minutes of life that according to investigators confirm their narrative that he was tortured killed and then in the body dismembered the key question is will other one present those tapes at this presentat

jones who is in istanbul for us dorian the plot thickens with a series of new revelations but still no hard evidence or final confirmation as to what happened to mr. that's right the investigators are focusing all their efforts on these two black friends of belong to the saudi consulate those vans to this parted the consulate in the late afternoon of the day of disappearance there are reports of possible images of the existing saudi official carrying large boxes into one of the vans with the suggestion the car show these dismembered body could be in those boxes though one of the violence then left in the convoy of six calls where they actually went for his tour trying to find out is also focusing on the arrival of these alleged fifteen member team that arrived on the day of disappearance and then left the same day also we're hearing that officials who were working in the consulate but they were told to leave early for an unannounced holiday and also security for the church is still. piers to have disappeared along to the saudi consulate and we are getting reports from the u.s. newsp

and for the very latest let's go straight to istanbul where did i miss dorian jones standing by joran we heard president bush chip i don't seems fairly certain this was a model of violent and vicious murder as he described it but didn't offer any conclusive evidence that who carried it out and who ordered the motto of jamal khashoggi. no most of the speech was basically dismantling really narrative show he was killed in an accidental confrontation with those in the consulate he said that this was a carefully premeditated murder involving three teams two from riyadh one that arrived the day before death and one team in the consulate who he alluded to was involved in reconnaissance for the disposal of the body and a third team which evolved what he described as high level officials who have specific skills he said all of this indicates that this was a carefully planned operation he said the security cameras the hard drives from those cameras were removed the head of the visit to the consulate and he said that this points to the fact that saudi arabia had this carefully planned operation

on now for more let's cross over to our correspondent in this story and jones is standing by in dorian we understand the president. is expected to speak at any minute now do we know what he might say well no one really knows for sure what we've known up until now is that everything has come from leaks leaks from the investigators of. death there's been no official announcements that it's going to change today now president one has promised he will reveal the naked truth of the investigation now there are two key things i think people will be looking out for one is information about these. possibly videotapes capturing the last minutes of life now according to many leaks this will confirm the invests the investigators narrative that he was tortured murdered and then his body dismembered. everyone will be waiting for we'll present those tapes when he speaks to his parliamentarians the second thing is will he be brought by evidence that directly links the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sour man to death that leads to the second thing that people are looking for if he does that we will se

exactly and that is the question dorian there had been such high expectation that aidan would bring out some of the evidence this audiotape that you mentioned and also a little more clear cut idea as to what happened and what this vicious and violent murder means where do you think what it is a do one strategy in this whole case do you think. well i think that's what washington most of your will be wondering this speech basically further turns up the pressure but r.k. said keep his options open there's a lot of speculation that washington are in negotiations with the want to secure a final end game out of this crisis does turkey have a price what its price these are things that no one knows and of course being very successful by keeping silence out of pallas what is his agenda possibly a handful of people only know what one is thinking maybe he hasn't made a final decision yet this speech does suggest that he's keeping his options open with the head of the cia do you know hop style is now in. part of those talks the speculations that she wants to see whether these all go and video recor

how do you regard polls at this point, dorian? >> polls, one measure. better measure, frankly, absentee ballots. actual behavior of people who are energize and already cast their ballots. look in certain states. georgia, for instance. relative to the last midterm election in 2014, the rate of absentee balloting is so much higher than it was four years ago. i think -- we've knocked on a million doors in florida. what we hear on the doors people are energized around not just being anti-trump but around what is an alternative vision that makes their lives better? not a referendum on trump. it is partly, but people are energized, angry around kavanaugh and immigration, but motivated by an alternative vision. you see it with stacey abrams and in georgia. >> it isn't coming from the republican establishment rather outside groups like move on, the ccc. voter movement project, they're creating the narrative not the actual party. when i was in the obama campaign in 2012, we were not allowed to say the word "immigration" in english. right? the democratic line was

jones in istanbul and my issue a there in washington good evening to you both of dorian want to give you the first a word in istanbul a week now on from jamal khashoggi disappearance is still no definitive account of what happened to him what's going on. well indeed the turkish security forces are involved in an intense operation to find out actually what happened and as of yet they haven't proved that allegations the saudi officials were responsible for the for his death or his rendition back to riyadh but they believe they are building up a very powerful circumstantial case a lot of those are now focused on securing the identities of these so-called fifteen members saudi. will say they believe to identify many of them and their roles within the saudi security forces including one member who they claim has forensic medicine skills and the suggestion is that that member was used to possibly dismembered body and then take him out in one of the black to belong to the saudi consulate on top of that we all understand that many all the people working at the saudi consulate were sent away

war correspondent dorian jones is on the story for us tonight good evening to you dorian in turkish investigators have entered these all the council's residence they've begun their investigation what have they failed they reported they were looking for remains of the journalist body weren't they. that is one of the objectives of this operation but we understand from sources linked to the investigation they have already uncovered what they claim is forensic evidence similar to what was recovered at the saudi consulate confirms they suspicions that he was indeed that in fact following those discoveries they went back to the saudi consulate building to carry out a second investigation possibly searching the same place that they have recovered these initial claim forensic evidence so they do appear to be making progress and thorough searches of both buildings are expected in the coming days. more gruesome details emerged today about how mr. died what did we learn today. yeah this was from a newspaper linked very closely with the turkish government they publish what they say was a story that was taken

dorian jones in istanbul why saudi arabia has only now admitted its involvement in custody is killing that's over two weeks after he went missing. well that is a question and in fact there is some speculation possibly that turkey was preparing to release what they claim was a video that actually showed the last minutes of the death of the saudi journalist that would have totally confirm all of their or their allegations of the last week or so but i think that the probably the real explanation is that there's been this constant drip drip drip by leaks coming from the turkish investigation which has driven the growing international outcry and the growing diplomatic pressure on riyadh i think there were those in riyadh that were hoping that this crisis eventual would start to die down of the way turkey has handled this in managing this and disseminating information has in fact although this crisis has continued to escalate and it's reached a point i think where washington possibly has intervened and said reality you have to change your story you have to be seen to be acting. hundreds of

correspondent dora jones is reporting for us from istanbul thanks for joining us dorian how credibly would turkish investigators view saudi arabia's new version of events i think that they will see a mission here as a vindication of their claims of from the very beginning they insisted. she was indeed murdered the consulate so that there will be saying yes we were right in spite of all these insistent denials from riyadh we are being proven correct now the big question is will they accept this version of events that it was some kind of accident or her that occurred during some sort of mandate the position of investigators who on normal sources are indicating that they believe that this was a premeditated murder attempt in fact they call the claim a fifteen member team was brought in the pacific aim of killing these journalists so there will be a major point of difference there and i think of a key factor is will be satisfied with this explanation that it was rogue elements senior level officials are saying without will not knowledge of the crown prince mohammed bin this will be a key

correspondent dorian jones is in istanbul welcome dorrian turkish investigators arrived at the saudi consul residence on tuesday but didn't go in until today why. well as the turkish officials are blaming lack of cooperation from the saudi consulate in fact this is been an ongoing criticism they say that they've got in the way and delayed all of their attempts here to fight it took nearly two weeks to get into the saudi consulate where the last place the jersey journal he was last seen entering now the residence is seen as a very important part of the investigation and the reason why is that c.c.t.v. coverage recorded a black belonging to the saudi diplomatic mission traveling from the consulate to the resident hours after he entered that building the fear is that possibly his body or can show he was taken alive to the residence and there is concern now that possibly he was killed there or his body was disposed of and the investigators now so far really searching the building with forensic experts to look for any evidence of foul play so investigators went into the consulate on tuesd

or at least being indeed every correspondent or engines he's standing by in istanbul for us dorian what's the reaction it take each is saudi arabia's claim that could should she died in a fistfight well turkish president type heard one and said nothing this is being characteristic of this crisis of the president has taken a very low profile but his spokesman of his ruling party m h l lake who is very close to the president gave a very unequivocal statement he said that they are determined to continue with this investigation to find out the truth he said this is a matter of honor for turkey and said they will share their findings with the rest of the world this will be a concern for riyadh because it's on course dog approach and pursuance of this investigation that has kept pressure on riyadh and the leaking drip by drip to the international media of their findings has helped to build up this diplomatic pressure that has seen riyadh been put in this uncharacteristically crisis position on top of that and washington too will be concerned with this statement i think those would be a hope in

correspondent to dorian jones in istanbul tell us more than about these apparent legs between this disappearance and the saudi royal family. yes this individual is very closely linked to crown prince mohammed bin ali been solomon he's part of his security detail a senior member of the security detail in fact there's been many photographs but a group to train him very close to the crown prince and according to the local media report he will see the ringleader the man in charge of this alleged fifteen member saudi hit team that arrived the same day that she disappeared and he is linked to this journalist disappearance this also comes as a new report saying that the investigation is moving beyond searching the diplomatic missions in the stamboul to forest sources close to istanbul and the seaside town again very close to now it is part of this search for what is believed to be the remains of the saudi journalist and the message is that this investigation is still going on and they believe that they are building up a very strong case linking directly to riyadh. doria understanding is that the offici
