protect saudi arabia it's not about the protection of saudi arabia we know that since nixon and king faisal we know everybody wants to protect the oil there and saudi arabia since fifty years ago they know these scenarios and we have plans for this and that is how to counter back but definitely saudi arabia has a game and has cards that's great can play and i don't think really a sanction would be put on saudi arabia if nobody wants to sell us weapon the market to you great and more advance probably if we get. for example weapons from russia it will be more advanced than the one that actually is released by the congress to be all what they allow so it's not for any benefit i think everybody should calm down not to politicize the this issue and let's get the investigation going this afternoon the the saudi government allowed the turkish investigators to go into the consulate and to check those talks about. and we're going to see this coming on the northern no one and let's solve the issue is this not anymore about jamal it's basically people are taking revenge and i hope turkey doesn't get b

rather than taking to a major hospital in geneva where he was a patient, they took him to king faisal hospital. they kept him on house arrest. he was in and out of jail, in and out of house arrest. when they finally let him have his phone back, he got in touch with the bbc and complained about his abduction. so he was put back as he described to me in jail and then house arrest and he learned his lesson until he got the avian flu in 2010 and they thought he was probably going to die. comes to boston, spends years here. i meet him, and he says i got to do something about this. as you can imagine, i was concerned when i heard what had happened before. you know? if you file a criminal complaint in geneva, aren't you concerned you're going to be abducted again? i made sure he understood the risks. he understood. >> what happened. >> but he felt -- so a criminal complaint was filed. i found a very competent trial attorney in geneva, pierre dupres. and we filed a complaint in november of 2014 in geneva against his cousin, and the minister. and frankly, very little happened after it was file

and king faisal came in and took over and removed him. and i think frankly, that's what needs to happen now. >> mike, what do you think about that? essentially separating, you know, relationship with saudi arabia from relationship with mbs? >> no, i think that history has taught us that it's dangerous for the united states to think that it can micromanage the states of the middle east. and if we start reaching into other countries and saying who can rule and who can't rule, we're going to get a lot of consequences that we don't intend. so i would counsel caution first. i would want to find out what exactly happened and then i would want to try to work with mbs and the saudi government to get a more stable policy process and to get a more reliable partner. part of the reason that they have become somewhat erratic is that they're in a completely new environment with the rise of iran all across the region. which was, we have to be honest, facilitated by the policy of the united states. so we have kind of created this unstable environment aro

there were visible factions in the family and they were pushed aside by the faction led by faisal who became the king. this is where they so cleverly manipulated the political environment that is very hard to see how anyone rises with an assist from. needless to say we know he will arrest anybod anybody friend, f, royal, whatever. in many ways he was a very unlikely victim. this is a guy that did support the monarchy to the end. this is going to send chills and the stories that have come out in the last few weeks about to king and what he's paid attention to big story today about canada and how the regime tried to lure him back. there's never been a time since 1964. one of the things that is striking and is legitimized by us when you look through the united states last spring in march and april, here he was by bill gates, oprah winfrey. you look at the list of luminaries who competed to be part of what was billed as the great reform of the future of the entire middle east into there were a lo a lot a lot of t said wait a minute he put on a show that was unbelievable and took it to europe. the treasur

this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khalid al faisal arriving in turkey on friday there's still be no statements about what exactly is the objective of this delegation and what they will try and achieve because there have been questions raised as to whether this is a political delegation trying to find a solution to this crisis with turkey or is it one as has been told to the media that is going to be part of the investigation and if so turkey already has said that it knows the results of this investigation it claims that it has the evidence and has shared the evidence with the united states that actual she was assassinated in the consulate now on saturday turkey's foreign minister for another time expressed his government's frustration at the lack of cooperation from the saudis which is a surprise to some because it would have appeared that riyadh and ankara had reached some sort of program a workflow or an at least a basic agreement hence the arrival of this delegation however according to the foreign minister as well as other officia

what was, i found interesting, today, was there's a report that faisal went and heard the tape, who is a senior envoy for the king, and came out and said this is trouble for the crown prince. now, that tells me that there's a crack in what's happening back there. my argument is probably the turks, likely recorded that from inside of the embassy, which would tell us a lot more than they're willing to tell us today. that's why i think erdogan will come out. i think he said tomorrow, and lay it out. my prediction is that whatever was on that tape is not just that short duration of when the murder happened. it was probably before that. and if they mentioned the prince at all in those conversations -- >> let me ask you because the tape has come up repeatedly. u.s. officials have been asked about this repeatedly and said we have not this heard tape. if a nato ally, which turkey is, and we have intelligence sharing relationship with turkey, had such a tape, is it plausible to you at this point three weeks later that u.s. officials or intelligence agencies would not have been provided full access to or demanded access to

arrived in ankara the political capital headed by prince kind of the faisal who is the governor of mecca as well as the chief advisor to king solomon it wasn't headed by an intelligence official the head of the saudi intelligence we only understood on monday had arrived should sarky and therefore it does seem that unfortunately this won't be dealt with or at least unfortunately as far as those who are so seeking the truth into what's happened to this. this is not being dealt with simply as a criminal matter there is a lot at stake a lot more in terms of international diplomacy in terms of economy we saw the impact it's had on the saudi markets all of that is going to influence the official outcome of what is going to be said but let's not forget that ultimately this is a human story about a journalist who went to this building with his fiance waiting outside so that you could bring the paperwork needed for him to marry her and that journalist that fiance you it never came out or nobody has seen him since jamal thank you very much for that is just keeping across all the developments outside the consulate in istanbul. now ear
