erdogan is facing pressure at home.ng sorry to distract attention away from the domestic issues? >> to be fair, the domestic issues have been on the back burner, even before the khashog exploded.d -- case it is difficult to answer that question at this went in time because there wasn't much of a domestic issue to speak of as we were able to speak of earlier in the summer. guy: thank you very much for your reporting. vonnie time now for the stock -- vonnie: it is time now for the stuff of the hour, mcdonald's. why is mcdonald's the best performer? >> they get two thirds of their revenue from outside the u.s.. that to push up comparable in-store sales. even here in the u.s., we don't get outside moves in mcdonald's shares, but they have been big members on these earnings days. the real stories about margins. they have been moving into the lower and lower price category, offering a lot of value for diners. at the same time, they have been able to control it costs. as large as they are and with as much power to control your

president erdogan of turkey expected to speak any moment now.ruth about what happened to jamal khashoggi at the istanbul consulate. there's been a lot of back and forth between saudi officials on getting the narrative right. the foreign minister of saudi arabia speaking earlier today to say the saudi government is committed to getting to the bottom of this, continuing this investigation, to finding out exactly what happened. just to give you a read out on what's happening on the sidelines of that public investment fund conference, the davos in the dessert, billed again this year as a major meeting for international investors in the saudi government the softbank fund as well. a lot of questions on whether or not folks that were expected to be here, the fact they're not here f that changes the game in terms of the mission and investment commitments they had already with saudi arabia that seems not to be the case we have seen the gcc countries closing ranks here the head of the uae sovereign wealth fund is here. he spoke today the conversation surr

erdogan said that khashoggi's murder was premeditated. the european commission rejected italy's 2019 budget. sending a signal that eu countries must give their spending in check. and campaigning with donald trump at her side. dw will follow republicans in arizona. this is a race that they need to win to keep their razor thin majority in washington. brent: it is good to have you with us. turkey offered an official statement on the desk of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. erdogan shared some of his country's entity investigation -- into the investigation. it shows that his murder was meticulously planned. the leaders may have had involvement in the murder. crown prince -- the crown prince of saudi arabia resurfaced at this meeting. >> satisfied was the word that the crown prince used at this conference in riyadh. despite his smile, there was tension in the air. 40 companies and investors boycotted the forum over the murder of jamal khashoggi. the saudi minister admitted that this had been difficult days -- these had d been difficult days f

and we are relying on president erdogan so he could release the tape. the only way the spin from donald trump and his admonition and all of these guys, especially the one who leaked information to the saudi crown prince and gave him and tell from the cia, , and the saudi crown prince bragged abouout it and used it to arrest and purge all of his political opponents -- though they are complicit in the cover-up and emboldening and enabling this crown prince. the only hope the saudis and all of us as intellectuals and journalistsjournalists who camee middle east, who cover the middle east, next expose these tyrants, is that the international community somehow there is a mechanism of protection for journalists. i will be at the european parliament very soon for a hearing about the murder of jamal khashoggi, but also about the saudis and their behavior in this reckless crown prince. and what the europeans are trying to do to bring the act from america and impose sanctions on the saudis come on all of the saudis who committed this crime, but above all, who ord

>> i cannot be optimistic about erdogan. he called our prime minister benjamin netanyahu, compare today -- compared to hitler. eric: andrew brunson has arrived at the white house, we expect to cover that live in about 15 minutes from now. finally, ambassador, i can't let you go without commenting on nikki haley, now she's leaving, i bet you are going miss her. >> absolutely. ambassador haley fought with israel, she was fearless and able to win at the un, great achievements, we will continue to work with new ambassador but we will miss her direct approach to fight for what is right. eric: thank you for coming in. >> thank you very much. eric: always good to see you. >> thank you. eric: arthel. arthel: meanwhile we have fox news alert regarding the utter devastation happening in florida, hurricane michael leaving the panhandle in the dark, down power lines and knocked down trees filling the streets of panamÁ city and mexico beach looks like a war zone. >> we haven't had cell phone service in a couple of days now, no power, no

who erdogan accused of being behind the coup. he wanted to make this exchange and the administration rightly so, did not go for it. and they do not post sanctions and tariffs. and they appealed along with the congress to president erdogan. then there's a lot of back channel diplomacy. today we have the result of that outstanding effort. arthel: the president said, he also said apologetically to the pastor there, who had been waiting for so long for freedom. the president said listen, we have been negotiating this long and hard. but you know we do not pay ransom in the country. that would set a bad precedent. >> and he's absolutely right about that. however we get someone out of harm's way, there is potential collateral on future efforts. in this case what i think the president has done is absolutely created an opportunity for us to grow our relationship with turkey. we demonstrated that we will hold the line and that we will take care of our people. but we won't under any circumstances, give up our values in doing so. i think tha

erdogan's speech?e link, and you are thet of the fragility of ruling family in saudi arabia is dependent on oil. without it, they cannot find any of their programs. the effectue this to the price today, but it does build into the risk premium of people making that calculation. iran looms large, as does venezuela, iraq, and libya. sense ofd to get a where it will end. there is much more to come out here, not least of which the audio recording. and derails the oil market leads to a much higher price. francine: what does a derailment of the house of saud look like? is this turkey putting pressure on president trump to put pressure on the saudi king to pick a new heir? >> yes, and ultimately it is a precarious position for them all to be in. i suspect none of them wish it to be true, with the exception possibly of turkey. it will be a critical moment where the u.s. administration is dependent on the rest of the world to comply to cut their 20 or as close to zero. saudi arabia is a key ally in that fight. t

he started by telling me what we learnt from president erdogan's address.say that he thought the king was acting honestly. this is to apply more pressure on saudi arabia, particularly to come forward with more details. they don't have the body, they are outraged by the fact that they were kept waiting outside the consulate while it was being repainted. they want answers to that as well. they want answers not only about the original cover—up operation, the original operation, but also why it was covered up in the way it was by the official saudi authorities. there is one more legal point which underpins this, and that is my understanding of international law is that if an operation is carried out in the name of a state on state property then diplomatic immunity applies. if, as in this case, a rogue operation is carried out, which is not in the name of the state, diplomatic immunity does not apply, and turkey has the right to demand the extradition of the alleged perpetrators of that murder. he said there was strong evidence that the killing was planned. you

we saw turkish president erdogan's speech today. is he motivated by jamal khashoggi's death, or is he also motivated bs presence and his place in the region? >> well, he has twoim major a here. there has always been a competition between saudi arabio and turkey fr leadership in the thgion, but what mr. erdogan really wants a stage is to be able to usn the pressure he can mus terto get to essentially dislodge mohammad bin salman because he sees m.b.s.s being very anti-turkish, and he cease m.b.s. as a block agaist turkish ambitions in the region. but beyond that, what he's also trying to do is to use the gift essentially the saudisave him to improve turkey's very, very tarnished reputation internationally. i mean, after all let's not forget that this is the country that is the largest jailer of journalists. they only recently releasinged pastor brunson afttwo years in jail. there are three american state department employeesjail in turkey. so erdogan is trying the change oe conversation and put pressuthe saudis by saying that he want

erdogrecep tayyip erdogan is spg now.et's listen in and see if he mentions or references the khashoggi situation. >> translator: which was restored, which was rebuilt, if you will, brought back to its glory days in a sense. so, wherever we go in the balkans and in eastern europe, wherever we go in this part of the world we are always met with heartfelt emotions and greetings of the people living there as we have always said our physical boundaries are one thing, but the boundaries of our heart or the influence area of our hearts are something else. with our friends, with our brothers and sisters, with our kinsmen within the latter of these boundaries, our relations with them, we're bringing them up to their desired level after many centuries, after a long time when we take a step, others take three, five steps towards us, so they harbor the same positive feelings towards us. i hope and believe this contact will get closer and closer, and with our friends we will continue to build a safe and prosperous future together on f

will what president erdogan had to say give any pause at all to anyone where you are?on't think it will give pause to the pressure, which the saudi royal family give pause to the pressure, which the saudi royalfamily in particular, crown prince mohammad bin salman is facing about that investigation but when you look at what was happening here at the time president erdogan was speaking, it was interesting because several key business figures were up on stage pledging $12 billion each towards new investment opportunities involving saudi money. that was timed to coincide with president erdogan because the timing of his speech was set, but there are about four and speech was set, but there are about fourand a speech was set, but there are about four and a half thousand people here, fewer europeans i'm told than last year, and one man conspicuous by his absence is mohammad bin salman himself, the crown prince, last year this was seen as his baby. he was talking to people, sitting on podiums, with people talking about how he wanted to get rid of corruption, wanted more trans

president erdogan said that there is complete agreement.spoil his new—found working relations with turkey, president trump would have to do turkey, president trump would have todoa turkey, president trump would have to do a certain distance and following this even his ultimate aim is it is to protect the status quo in saudi arabia. mr pompeo's successof in saudi arabia. mr pompeo's successor in the cia is visiting istanbul to try to get some kind of common ground with the americans on this investigation. on that question of mohammed did some on‘s future, you say that the hope might be from president erdogan of turkey that he could isolate and see the crown prince sideline. given that we are told the king is suffering from some form of dementia, given that he has put mohammad bin salman in charge of the reform of the intelligence services, is a much prospect of the prince being sidelined or even removed from power? it will be an uphill struggle to have a change of that sort. as far as the king is concerned, i think president erdogan is aware

president erdogan laid out how the journalist's murder was orchestrated.an whenjamal khashoggi booked his appointment at the consulate to get divorce papers. the day before his killing, a saudi reconnaissance team scouted a forest in istanbul where he may now be buried. president erdogan went on, the 15 strong hit squad assembled that morning at the consulate, removing hard discs from security cameras. then mr khashoggi received a call to confirm his appointment at the consulate. it was at 1308 that jamal khashoggi was last seen alive. one saudi operative then donned the journalist's clothes and a fake beard and glasses, walking in istanbul, apparently as a diversion. more evidence, it seems, of meticulous planning. given the gruesome leaks of what happened here, sedatives, strangling, dismemberment, a president who does not shy away from confrontation was surprisingly restrained today. i am told that he wanted to show that this was not against saudi arabia, to urge the king to act without targeting him and to warn there will be more dirt if riyadh stays s

prince mohammed that someone. “— erdogan and prince mohammed that someone. —— erdogan. —— mohammad binore on bbc world news. thank you for joining us. we will see you again soon. hello there, good morning. the last 2a hours has seen the number of flood warnings reducing as the wettest of the weather moved its way a little bit further east. gradually, everything will come in from the atlantic over the next few days. this band of cloud working its way towards our shores by tuesday. that area of cloud contains a bit of ex—hurricane michael. that's going to slip its way into iberia. that's where we're feeding up all our cloud and outbreaks of rain at the moment, so more of that coming back into england and perhaps into wales as well, a cold start for scotland and northern ireland. cold skies developing here with a few showers in the north—west. this area of rain might not be in this exact position, affecting the south—west for a while, south and east wales, it's moving its way northwards and becoming lighter and maybe missing the rain in the south—east, sunshine later giving the temperatur

did erdogan lay out the evidence that turkey has collected? think he laid out, kate, a couple key points that we hadn't yet heard. but he certainly didn't present a full picture, and in fact, he even issued a list of sort of demanding questions to saudi authorities. let's start with what he revealed. he revealed a couple interesting things. number one, according to president erdogan, a team from the saudi consulate went to the belgrade forest on the outskirts of istanbul on the day before jamal khashoggi was murdered in some kind of reconnaissance mission. this is interesting because we know those forests have been an area of interest for turkish investigators, not clear exactly what this consulate team was doing there. what the reconnaissance mission entailed exactly, but certainly an interesting development. number two, according to the president, he said that the saudi consulate behind me had disconnected their surveillance cameras from the hard drive. that is interesting because it speaks to this idea on the day that jamal khashoggi went m

erdogan came out firing earlier today and there's a little bit of posturing going on as erdogan positionsimself in relation to the saudi's on this incident. there may be a larger play here. shery: president trump is expected to meet president xi next month. what can we expect? >> everything is on the table, isn't it? bykets are reacting moment moment, day by day, to the escalating trade sanctions, tara wars, all the other things going and the worsening of economic relations between the world powers. earlier today,ld don't expect some huge breakthrough. the markets will look to any sort of indication that comes out of here as a possible warming or in. markets are looking for tone. rb in here for the short-term or the long-term? that will be the sentiment, that's one of the things we are clearly closely watching for as these two leaders meet. haidi: we appreciate your time, derek. still ahead, we will continue to get more analysis on the jamal khashoggi case. next, we'll talk markets. it's still all about u.s. stocks. this is bloomberg. ♪ haidi: we are counting down to the open of trade her

erdogan and mr. trump is to make sure that the narrative that the turkish president was planning to offer on tuesday is not going to be too much out of sync with the saudi narrative. we'll see if erdogan is going to go and play along or not. >> how likely is it that he would play along? >> well, it depends what he's going to get in return. i think there are certain things that mr. erdogan wants to get in return from the saudis. there are certain things he would like to get in return from the americans. for example, in syria in terms of, you know, cooperation, work, the relationship between the pyd, the united states and pyd in syria that has been a troublesome relationship for erdogan. there are a number of files both with the united states and syria that he might be interested in getting in return for these files if he were to play along and try to make life easier both for the saudi crown prince and the american president. >> and this is why he's been holding back information that could help answer

earlier president erdogan of turkey insisted the killing was a planned operation.ight insists that mr khashoggi died after afight in insists that mr khashoggi died after a fight in its consulate in istanbul, and it does not know where his body is now. that is the subject of great conjecture in turkey at the moment. let‘s get the very latest on what has been happening today, not only here in saudi arabia, but also in turkey. this report by frank gardner. three weeks to the day since he disappeared, jamal khashoggi, outspoken saudi critic of his own government, last seen alive entering the saudi consulate in istanbul shortly before he was murdered by those inside. today, turkey‘s president erdogan addressed parliamentarians and gave his first full public reaction. translation: all information and evidence shows that jamal khashoggi was killed in a violent, savage murder. the details of this incident, this murder, is capable of hurting our hearts. lurid details ofjust how khashoggi died have been leaked to turkey‘s pro—government media. there‘s said to be an audio tap

what -- that for turkey, for president erdogan, was an enormous setback.aw himself as part of this new wave of political islam that was rising with the arab spring, but then failed. in the ashes of the -- of the failed arab spring, a series of strongmen have cropped up, and mohammed bin salman, and other leaders, but mohammed bin salman principally has been at the center of the group of new arab strongmen coming out of the ashes of the arab spring. and turkey, erdogan, doesn't like it. doesn't see -- doesn't like the way that this is moving. and these new -- this new generation of leaders who want to recreate the middle east, are the leaders that jared kushner and the white house are latching onto who think that they are the future of the region. >> this is remarkably important context to understand the backdrop of jamal cakhashoggi's murder and how it plays out into global chess game, if you will. richard, thanks very much for your continued analysis of this. richard engel in istanbul, turkey, for us. we're standing by for secretary pompeo's statements ab

we can sit here and talk all day about the things that erdogan.eporters without borders stems 43 journalists locked up right now for reasons that just have to do with them doing their jobs there are no saints in this mix a colleague of mine and i are writing a piece. this is another one of the pet projects of this crown prince mohammed bin salman. we can see before our eyes this guy's judgment is not very good. he acts out of arrogance. is he impulsive. he doesn't have much regard for human life. it's time for the united states to step in and stop providing unconditional weaponry and intelligence support and logistics support for this operation. we have got to have a veto over targeting. ratchet down munitions supplies for that war. i'm not suggesting cuts off all arms sales the munitions being used in yemen need to be ratcheted back and we need a dual key arrangement. we can't trust this mohammed bin salman who have good judgment. >> shepard: it's our fault that the viewers watching us now don't know more will about the conflict in yemen by all a

-- if erdogan releases embarrassing details?f: the dust storm in the background is a powerful symbol of the issue you have talked about. the turkish narrative appears to be different and signals from the u.s. are mixed, jared downplayed theey roles of the government in the death. a lot of lack of detail by the turkish president blow this case wide open, the turkish government has been keen to get back into the regional power play so i say buckle up in the next few hours. anna: the future investment initiative is underway in riyadh with many of the a listers skipping the events. we have seen headline after headline crossing the bloomberg, names who have pulled out. what is the sentiment in regards to this event? yousef: the event is going forward as planned, organizers maintain they have enabled to draw together 100 20 speakers. you mentioned some of the business titans that have pulled to creditfrom hsbc suisse to siemens but there are some ceos who are going and that includes the ceo of total, we had some lines out from one of

from president erdogan's close ties ties and president erdogan's move last year extending support and a lifeline to qatar during the saudi-led blockade. at terms it was personal. the president with a direct jab at the crown prince and his talk ever moderate islam. >> translator: moderate islam, you talk about moderate islam, but you don't even give permission to women to drive a car. what kind of moderate islam is this? is there such a ruling in islam against this? no. >> i think that they both perceive their respective countries as being the rightful leader or the main leader within the region for different reasons. and those don't always match. but i think that that is very clear between the two of them. >> reporter: since khashoggi's disappearance, president erdogan, who never really hesitates to speak his mind, has been diplomatic for the most part. and turkish officials are cautious in what they say indicating that perhaps they were trying to avoid a full blown diplomatic crisis. >> i don't think that ankara wants to turn this into a huge crisis between saudi arabia and turkey ev

but today, whatever mr erdogan says will be an official explanation.be the first time we will hear all the known details from the president himself. with so many conflicting reports and theories, of course, which do you give the most weight to? apparently saudi arabia's credibility was diminished after they changed their scenario of what happened to mr khashoggi, so they say that now it was a rogue team, so they say that now it's a rogue team. but turkey is denying this, saying it was a special team sent from saudi arabia specially to kill mr khashoggi, so we have to wait a few more hours, until mr erdogan speaks, and we will see what he will say. it does seem bizarre and ironic, doesn't it, that turkey is apparently so exercised over this particular tragedy involving a journalist, when it is jailing so many journalists and other people, depriving them of their human rights, of their means of earning a living. what does turkey really want from this? it does suggest there is another agenda. according to turkey, the journalists who are jailed are not jai

erdogan in turkey for agreeing to establish a joint working committee, and insisting that nothing could a fray the brotherly relationship between the two nations. i think possibly a sign there king salman trying to get a grip on the situation. becky? >> i'll discuss that with a guest i've got here with me in a moment. i wonder why, you think, when we consider what is going on with the narrative from saudi arabia, why everyone isn't on the same page. is it clear? >> reporter: it is clear in a sense that the reason for that, i think, becky, is that it is all very, very murky. people not just in saudi arabia, but we've seen a similar vacillation in the united states there. nobody has seen the evidence that has been leaked into the turkish media, suggesting that mr. khashoggi was disappeared or murdered allegedly by the saudis. somebody somewhere, perhaps in a very small cell, does know the answer. but i've been talking to very sear yen officials and i think they're quite genuine in saying, nobody quite knows how to react because they don't quite know what they're reacting to. there are que

turkey's president, recep tayyip erdogan, says it was premeditated murder. translation: all information and evidence shows that jamal khashoggi was killed in a violent, savage murder. why was it that the consulate's building was opened to investigation not immediately but many days later? we want answers to that question. why was it that so many contradictory statements were made about the alleged murder, at the time alleged murder? we want answers to that. and the body of jamal khashoggi is still missing. president erdogan had vowed to expose the naked truth ahead of that news conference, but he didn't add any new information. he made no mention of an audio recording that turkish authorities say they have, which documents the killing. the wherabouts of jamal khashoggi's body, and the condition of it, is a huge concern. turkish officials say mr khashoggi was killed and dismembered inside the consulate by saudi agents on the 2nd of october. ajoint turkish—saudi investigation into the death has repeatedly been hindered by the saudis. today a car belonging to t

we are awaiting the speech from president erdogan. you can see parliament and journalists assembled. let's go live to turkey and bring in cnn's ben wedeman. do we know what we are expecting him to say, ben? >> reporter: he said he would come out with the naked truth. precisely what that means and how naked that truth is going to be, only time will tell. this is an address not to parliament, but rather to his party bloc in parliament. it is a regular tuesday event in ankara. there is a lot more attention because of his building of anticipation over what he will say. what we have seen over the last three weeks is an accumulation of damning evidence already. clarissa ward's exclusive reporting yesterday of the body double dressed up in jamal khashoggi's clothing and going around istanbul indicates a level of premeditation that shows just how far in advance this murder was planned. now, also in ankara today, is gina haspel, the cia director. they say she will be meeting with the head of m.i.t., the turkish intelligence agency and foreign

and it for erdogan, back to him for a moment. if it means he's a bit weaker and american is a little less reliant on the combination of israel and saudi arabia, who join them in hating iran and anyone who is talking to iran, regard them of the source of all the evils in the region. that will not be a bad outcome for erdogan and with saudi arabia's credibility a little bit diminished. but i'm not holding my breath for the sort of sanctions that we all put together very effectively against russia after they brutally tried to murder people in britain. >> real politics. sir peter westmacott, thank you. >>> turning back to the >>> many around the world are trying to read america's tea leaves. there are tight races across the united states but few are as watched as florida. the famous swing state is in a tumultuous fight to the finish between democrat andrew gilliam and republican rhonda santos. watch the sparks fly as race was raised in their debate last night. >> i will represent all the people, everyone will get a fair shake but i a

president erdogan laid out how the journalist's murder was orchestrated.r it began when jamal khashoggi booked his appointment at the consulate to get divorce papers. the day before his killing, a saudi reconnaissance team scouted a forest in istanbul where he may now be buried. president erdogan went on, the 15 strong hit squad assembled that morning at the consulate, removing hard discs from security cameras. then mr khashoggi received a call to confirm his appointment at the consulate. it was at 13:08 that jamal khashoggi was last seen alive. one saudi operative then donned the journalist's clothes and a fake beard and glasses, walking in istanbul, apparently as a diversion. more evidence, it seems, of meticulous planning. given the gruesome leaks of what happened here, sedatives, strangling, dismemberment, a president who does not shy away from confrontation was surprisingly restrained today. i am told that he wanted to show that this was not against saudi arabia, to urge the king to act without targeting him and to warn there will be more dirt if riya

president erdogan now today saying we cannot remain silent on this. this happened inside turkey.ce. you have the president of turkey taking some ownership of the issue here. he says his foreign minuistry i continuing to work with the saudis to get access to the consulate building here. remembering a couple days ago the saudis said yes, a turkish investigation team could get in the building and look where they believe jamal khashoggi was killed. so that is a bit of a standoff at the moment. really president trump weighing in on this seems to ratchet up the resolve of president erdogan. he doesn't want to take the heat on saudi arabia himself. he hopes president trump gets stronger on this. >> imagine a world order, nic, where president recep tayyip erdogan is backing journalists. great reporting. thank you. >>> a check of cnn business. brutal day on wall street. u.s. stocks suffered. all three lost 3%. the dow plunged 800 points. the selling has now spread around the world. shanghai down 5%. european stocks lower. u.s. futures suggest more selling. u.s. futures down 260 points. it

erdogan,, president this happened on his territory. he clearly has intel.een shared, but not tapes given to the americans. the americans have said it is very convincing. trump is no longer talking about rogue agents. he is talking about a massive and ugly cover up. punishment beginning. your point on turkey, the turks are in a much better position. they played this well. they have not directly fingered mohammad bin salman himself. i believe they think they can. and behind the scenes, they have been putting pressure and allowing this to drag out because turkey is under enormous economic pressure. s tohey can get the saudi' free up cash -- david: that goes to my question. there was no love lost between president erdogan and mohammad bin salman before this. what does whoever -- president erdogan want? he needs money. could it be that direct? could they give him cash? they have been doing that with the they have been doing tt with the americans when they allowed pastor brunson to come back to the u.s. they have been pushing for an allowance to the united states

rallying his supporters, president erdogan is being cautious and hasn't echoed accusations of murder.even accepted the saudi's request for a joint inquiry but says they must provide evidence. turkey's strategy is two—pronged. it's treading carefully to protect an important relationship with riyadh, especially amid economic problems here. but at the same time it is leaking incriminating evidence to build international support and warn the saudis — co—operate or else. after other killings, not least in salisbury, the un secretary—general told the bbc he feared a pattern. i am feeling worried with this apparent new normal. because these kind of incidents are multiplying. and it is absolutely essential to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not something that can happen. as they investigate the missing journalist, turkish police haven't managed to search the consulate, reportedly because the saudis limited their scope, prompting the question, will we ever really know the awful truth hidden here? mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. an american evangelical pasto

mr erdogan has been urging riyadh to explain the fate of mr khashoggi, who went missing after visitinghe saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia denied involvement and have said they'll retaliate to any sanctions. our diplomatic affairs correspondent paul adams reports. almost two weeks on and still no answers about what happened behind these walls. did a man die here, and was it all recorded? saudi arabia's allies are increasingly impatient, hence today's joint statement demanding answers. germany, the united kingdom and france, it says, are treating this incident with the utmost seriousness. what happens from now on is absolutely up to saudi arabia. they must have seen the huge international concern from the united states, now from britain, france and germany, and what they need to do is to co—operate fully with the investigation that the turks are asking us to do and to get to the bottom of this. a saudi delegation arrived in turkey on friday. if saudi arabia has nothing to hide, mr hunt says, they should and will co—operate. it's been 12 days since jamal khashoggi disappeared. mo

the world is waiting for turkey's president erdogan.olice and security services are leading the investigation and have already leaked stories of torture and murder. the president says he will reveal more on tuesday. this incident will be entirely revealed. entirely revealed, entirely. why did 15 people come to istanbul? why were 18 people arrested? this must be revealed in detail. so, will the slowly unfolding story increase suspicions about the role of this man, saudi arabia's crown prince mohammad bin salman? many people insist he must have authorised the targeting of his most influential critic, jamal khashoggi. and will major powers, including britain, really punish saudi arabia, a key energy supplier and a big spender too? most governments are delaying, waiting for more facts. they may not have much longer to wait. james robbins, bbc news. earlier our middle east correspondent martin patience said all eyes are now on turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan — who has vowed to reveal details about mr khasoggi's death. that's right, t
