he said i have no doubt about his sincerity which means that he takes king solomon as a counterpart but not the crown prince mohammed bin selman and he said while he was mentioning king salmon he repeated twice cardinal had a main the protector of the two holy cities so he gives a responsibility to king solomon to uncover the truth of the smirk and maybe to take care of his son the crown prince mohamed and so man it's for sure there are negotiations between saudi arabia turkey included united states because turkey is hosting a very special guest today to cia director but of course turkey doesn't want to burn bridges with saudi arabia right away but turkey says whatever it takes turkey will be after the real truth and and turkey wants this investigation to be closed in a real and factual way ok so there were many thanks for that from what i heard us go live now to shell his consulate building and istanbul surge all is said and said as all steroid questions but the the real question is how long is he prepared to wait for the answers. well that is a good question i mean three weeks now

a threat in the years to come i mean there's nobody else's name in the frame surely apart from king solomon. well look just to be clear this third edition the words the sons are down to the brothers actually started with king abdullah king solomon's predecessor because all the brothers of god an older and consult is himself in his late seventy's and sick so it was clear that this is going to have to start go into the descendants then horizontally to the brothers that's one to the problem is that in two thousand and fifteen when king solomon took over it was already pronounced that haven't been naive who was originally the minister of interior would be crown prince and he was assigned crown prince and everyone understood that to be the case because he's was a senior and he was beloved by the united states because he was cool approaches to them in terms of counter counter terrorism in terms of intelligence cooperation and so on so forth but as we all know by now between two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and seventeen the ambitious crown crown crown prince mohammed bin laden none basic

the saudi cabinet chaired by king solomon repeated its promise to hold to account those involved in the killing of her salty whoever they are all the wraps up the day's developments. chanted in a group members of the now after weeks of leaks about the murder of jamal khashoggi turkish president red chip tied to an address his ruling party to announce officially what turkish investigators know so far they are going to shoot him i do want said that it was planned days in advance and included reconnaissance missions by saudi officials to the forests around istanbul. uniondale we have strong evidence that this was a premeditated murder in the light of the information we have everybody has questions here are the questions these fifteen people why did they come to the temple on the day of the murder who ordered them to come to turkey we need an answer before his speech anyone had promised to reveal what he called the naked truth over the killing of khashoggi his address made it clear there are still many unanswered questions and the turks are demanding answers from saudi arabia. was asking wh

these remains and exactly who was involved he added that turkey doesn't doubt the credibility of king solomon but is demanding a full independent investigation and that the trial of the accused be held in turkey at the one also asked that everyone involved in the killing from top to bottom be held accountable he also said accusing some security operatives is not sufficient. union we have strong evidence that this was a premeditated murder so in the light of the current information we have everybody has the questions in their mind. here out of the questions so these fifteen people on the day of murder why did they come to. first of all we are very still looking for answers to this question these people who ordered them to come to certain we need an answer for that which is you know. why because you are gender of the builder of course the consulate general was not open for the investigation on the same day but so many days later why so many incredible explanations had been made despite the where is the there is the body of still nobody knows where the body is. it is alleged that the that body h

he plans to speak to king solomon in the coming days. very interesting to note, wolf, how he was asked about whether or not the saudi human rights record has been overlooked. the president seemed to deflect on that question and say, other countries' human rights records have been overlooked. wolf, we should point out when the president traveled to saudi arabia, that was his first foreign trip, first country visited as president of the united states last year. he did not -- he made a point of not bringing up the saudi human rights record, and now that question obviously appears to be following him as people are trying to sort out exactly what happened to jamal khashoggi. wolf? >> lots at stake, indeed. jim acosta, thank you very much. let's get more details now from our chief national security correspondent, jim sciutto. jim, a source tells cnn that turkey has, what, shocking audio and video evidence of what they say was the killing inside this consulate in istanbul? >> the request he is to what extent they have shared. the british author

saudi king solomon and the crown prince mohammed bin cylon have met members of jamal khashoggi as family in riyadh excluding his son salah bin jamal khashoggi king saul on his promise to hold to account anyone found responsible for the journalist death whoever they may be shortly after that meeting the crown prince briefly attended a conference designed to attract foreign investment in saudi arabia had been salmond said he was satisfied with the summit despite dozens of business executives and government leaders canceling plans to attend. meanwhile the best occasion into killing continues in istanbul police teams have found a suitcase and other items in a car belonging to the saudi consulate russia has accused donald trump of taking a dangerous position by threatening to ramp up production of nuclear missiles u.s. national security adviser john bolton met president vladimir putin in moscow to discuss a cold war treaty which limits missiles of us president says he'll withdraw from the treaty and boost his nuclear arsenal in response to alleged russian violations france has defended its co

everyone involved in the killing from top to bottom must be held accountable he said he tossed king solomon the heart of course toward holy mosques or towards sites meaning i trust you still as a king and you are responsible for to the holy sites what will come will endangered the kingdom and when they endanger the holy sites so you have to move against your son this is the secret message the muslim world are bedouins party has described to show she's killing as a monstrous operation the president is demanding a full independent investigation and that the trial of the accused be held in turkey in doing so he's determined to keep up the pressure on saudi arabia to reveal the whole truth about what happened in istanbul three weeks ago victoria gate and be al jazeera john stratford joins us live from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul charles what's the latest on the investigation. well lauren in the last hour. turkish investigators have searched that vehicle that vehicle with diplomatic plates a consulate vehicle that was discovered in an underground public pay for car park in an area ca

boycotted by many nations following the killing of journalists from official ship by crown prince and king solomon met earlier with she's relatives turkey has questioned the saudi royal family's connection to the istanbul killing also coming up tells italy to get in line and the european commission has rejected at least twenty nine thousand budget brussels is sending a clear signal to the e.u. won't accept a drastic rise in debts for its member countries. it's great to have you along i'm leyla iraq the saudi royal family has been improper embroiled in controversy since journalist from official she was killed earlier this month in the saudi consulate in istanbul as the high profile future investment initiative kicked off in riyadh crown prince mohammed bin some on has made a public appearance he told reporters that he was satisfied with what he saw despite that several international companies have stayed away in protest the saudi government has admitted it is facing a quote crisis because of the controversy earlier king solomon and prince muhammad received kushal she son and brother in riyadh were

street journal president trump gave an even harsher assessment he repeated his conviction that king solomon did not know about the killing in advance but in regard to the crown prince's possible involvement is reported to have said well the prince is running things over there more so at the stage he's running things and so if anybody were going to be it would be him and first punitive measures introduced by the secretary of state to get specific saudi individuals total it's not clear whether they are all the ones previously identified in the contentious saudi report or we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other sorry ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show you is death. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas entering visa lookouts and other measures we're also working with the treasury department to review the of applicability of the global magnets the sanctions to those individuals congress has already invoked the global magnitsky ac

here but obviously these inquiries relates to an investigation in the royal household itself now king solomon's role in all of this is much more significant it would seem now because the source many sources within saudi certainly dissidents and also some who had connections with the royal household were suggesting that that the king of being really kept away from events say he was confident that his son was making the right sort of reforms he was not so confidence perhaps about his handling of the war in yemen but then this instant incident meant that the that mohammed bin solomon had to brief his father that there was a crisis going on and they had to stand firm over it now will that continue to be the case it remains to be seen that directs links that could be proven between the crown prince and al siri in terms of all syria's leading an operation to. of rendition of that's way they'll probably describe it i would think but certainly this would seem that is the key to it all is how the turkish prosecutors approach the case what sort of evidence they have whether or not they can make any linka

if these are not the first words that we are hearing because we also know that yesterday a king solomon special advisor came to ancora and met with the top level turkish officials here but of course yesterday turkey's foreign ministry stated that turkey expects call of ration from the saudi officials in order for turkish prosecutors to do a proper search in istanbul general consulate building because turkish officials turkish prosecutors applied a request to the search warrant in the saudi consul general in istanbul and we know that saudi side approved this request however it was never realize we are hearing that today prosecutors are going inside the consulate or to morrow but it never happened that's why we see that in the in technical level theoretically there is a collaboration there is a diplomatic diplomatic agreement over some over some some topics however on the practical level we don't see much call liberation miriam how is ankara balancing its need to produce preserve some sort of functional relationship with riyadh in light of the near constant leaks that we've seen. an inves

is the one who does these things king solomon is the one who spoke to president of turkey when so much of the focus is on the actions of the crown prince mohammed bin salman. that is exactly the point there are a lot of people around they were accusing the conference of being involved in a lot of things and basically is one of them is like actually the disappearance of . so the fact that king solomon is talking to our graham is probably best tip in the right direction because you want to be seen as the one who is leading saudi arabia rather than his son. but again what is he going to talk about here there's a lot of speculation about the saudis attempt to get a deal with or the ground whereby. this can get off the heart because all of the fingers are pointing at him as being the one first the calling the shots and secondly he's the kind of the parties the one behind the disappearance of the so i think it is an attempt on the part of the saudis to probably hide him a little bit until this comes to an end you said the words trying to find a deal i mean what sort of deal could they possib

you're saying nobody trusts the crown prince we hear you what if the king king solomon maybe doesn't trust him wholly yet but he might believe the king might believe he can get the royal household to a stage where he can trust the crown prince once again one hundred percent. not look at. this the leadership in saudi arabia has only two options one sack. and real procedures to reform the situation there and to release the prisoners because the prisoners might face the same fate of. g. and they are now under the threats of this leadership that killed the children in the consulate or any day in the a number of yemen's have been killed due to the wall so i'm a bit sad man has been sacked because he is not accepted internally or outside the country and to release the prisoners and to stop all the violations and stop the war in yemen this is the first option referred to by the world the second option is to look if mohamed bin so man but there is an adverse decision not to accept him as a real partner because he is that threat and he has started assad did journalist in other studies it was.

street journal president trump gave an even hosh assessment as he repeated his conviction that king solomon did not know about the killing in advance but in regard to the crown prince's possible involvement is reported to have said well the prince is running things over there more so at the stage he's running things and so if anybody were going to be it would be him and first punitive measures introduced by the secretary of state to get specific saudi individuals total it's not clear with that they are all the ones previously identified in the contentious saudi report we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other side the ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show his death we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas entering visa lookouts and other measures. we are also working with the treasury department to review the applicability of the global ming that's the sanctions to those individuals congress has already invoked the global magnitsky a

i think this is one of the harsher remarks are than made on the case and he named both king solomon and mohamed bin selman to compress saudi arabia i think to toning off the toning and the language he used was significant in today's speech he was definitely harsher he said the explanations so far made by saudi arabia were childish and he demanded more concrete and consistent answers from saudi arabia so if we look at our go on speech on stop on tuesday. and the day after he made this was a more more sturdy and definitely more an attempt to basically corner saudi arabia and demand some substantial answers from them one of the issues that he highlighted is that who is the killer and who order the the incident basically so this these two he answered he questioned the m.p.'s as he's known. and the king solomon himself as well but he also brought to its two table the domestic collaborator that initially saw you prosecutors have said about as someone from from turkey being collaborating the eighteen or the fifteen people from saudi arabia so this they have to answer he said as well but i thin

of their mother has or so i think the american presence ask himself first if it is going to is king solomon my interlocutor in saudi arabia is he effectively so the king of saudi arabia if not is it the crown prince is the conference responsible for this i think pum pum peo secular state is to go there to check the facts on the ground to make sure who is responsible and what comes next once it's proven that someone whether it's a rogue element as president from try to sell it or someone higher up in the hierarchy of the saudi government has made the order very briefly because we don't have a lot of time is it perhaps surprising that it's not jared kush that it's heading to saudi arabia seeing as his was the close relationship we've all been talking about for years look now even you know in places like the washington post in the new york times people are speaking about the complicity between jeb bush and crown prince mohammed bin so mun to be the source and the driver behind the blunders that you are and so jarrett is just as culpable as some of the solomon islands thank you . so lots more t

to saudi arabia where he met with king solomon he could also withdraw his treasury secretary steve newton from an upcoming investment conference in riyadh the one known as. forgive me i've forgotten the name for it for just a moment here but it was it's an upcoming conference that saudi arabia and the crown prince have made a big deal about and they have used it as a showcase for the modernization of saudi arabia and get steve in the treasury secretary will attend that and will speak as of the last we heard from him just a day or two ago so the president could also withdraw the diplomats from saudi arabia he could expel diplomats from the united states and so far we haven't heard any talk about that but when he talks about severe consequences those are the kind of things one thinks of so oh indeed of course it would pop specific direction from the president there is very specific direction and mounting pressure from politicians nearer to well his home because they want to see the president do bowl . that's right twenty three members of the senate including members of his own republican pa

mohammed been so man would have to be that person so i think the future of the relationship between king solomon and president trump it's going to depend about the future of his crown prince mohammed bin solomon and i would add just for the heck of it it would also involve eventually what would happen to jared cushion or mr trump's son in law who apparently was complicit with inhabitants the man on most of what the crown prince did the last couple of years including that jailing. of a lot of people around him within the regime including him becoming the crown prince and certainly in terms of the war in yemen ok when you talk about people being jailed i think you're referring them owen to people being held against their will we assume in the ritz carlton in riyadh just picking up on one of those points though the bottom line for trump is it human rights an individual's human rights or is it the dollar and off the back of that another point if he manages to kick this done in the long grass to one hundred nineteen days he's got to do something about within one hundred twenty days what happens at th

hence the his the responsibility for the murder of a command which of your so you could say that king solomon has outsourced his entire authorities to the crown prince a young inexperienced overconfident thirty year old crown prince and that what has amazed people around the world mo and as ever thanks very much we'll talk to you later i'm sure ok we have some new developments as well in the investigation into the let's get more on that from correspondent child who's in jamal what's going on . well peter we understand now that turkish investigators have been questioning fifteen stuff working in the consulate behind me on this on these are the turkish stuff that i've been working or are employees at the consulate not the saudi ones there were reports that's obviously on that they will target stuff where given a surprise day off but when we're looking at the information that has been coming from the investigators which seems to claim that this was a preplanned operation that maybe the room was already set up the room that's she was dismembered in was set up before or whether there was some sort

well miriam yes it's confirmed from also turkish side that king solomon been up to these telephoned. our daughter and thanked for their well coming off this proposal for a joint working group we don't have much more detail yet but we're expecting a statement by the press by the turkish press goes these press people however as you would remember yes that they turkey's foreign ministers stated that. saudi arabia should be more open for further corporation in order to make this investigation go faster and is there on one hand we know that turkey and saudi arabia are working on a joint group. we see that diplomatic corp is on track but have cover on a practical level we see that saudi arabia is trying to gain time in order to give permission to the turkish officials a prosecutor's office it to enter inside the general conflates bill think in istanbul and to check out the facts and the situation regarding the investigation ongoing for jemaah g.'s a mysterious disappearance than a sample but of course we see that both sides both turkey and saudi arabia are trying to not to break the ties a

secretary of state meanwhile is arrives in the saudi capital for talks with king solomon on the case mike pompei o touched down a short time ago and was greeted by the saudi foreign minister it comes after donald trump said rogue elements inside saudi arabia could have been responsible for her disappearance u.s. media reporting saudi arabia is considering releasing a statement saying for showed you was killed as a result of an interrogation that went wrong the saudis reportedly planned to say an operation was carried out without official clearance yemen's president abdurrahman sort had ears fired the prime minister accusing him of negligence. or will be investigated for his handling of the economy the yemeni currency has suffered a dramatic devaluation recently which has caused food and fuel prices to soar well that's worsened the economic crisis caused by three years of civil war the worst flooding in southwest france for more than one hundred years has killed twelve people three months of worth of rain fell in the space of a few hours on monday cutting off villages near the city of

king solomon has promised to hold to account anyone found responsible for the journalist death whoever they may be. poignant and the reason is the director of the turkey project at the center for strategic and international studies joins me live now from washington d.c. thank you very much for being with us so that the response from the u.s. and from what my hope is specifically this evening will that satisfy the turks do you think in this. i don't think so i think the turkish strategy which is involved. daily leaks to journalists specifically. and i underline this through american journalists particularly the new york times and c.n.n. is designed to increase the pressure on the trumpet ministration to take real meaningful action on this issue now turkey's over the pressure in saudi arabia as well but it's crazy the united states there were there was a conversation between president trump and president of the one there was a meeting with secretary of state pompei on his way back to washington from riyadh when he stopped off in stamboul and obviously very important conversations with th

but trump tried to repackage this as his best friend putin and his best friend king solomon i think the american establishment is not buying into it it's interesting though because it's almost like the administration of the u.s. has its response before we at least officially know exactly what happened because we still don't have a real official explanation from the saudis speculation yes reports yes but not anything official and now we have the consul general as it was residence is soon to be investigated by by turkish authorities getting on a plane back to reeva mean that doesn't look good look this is you know just been scratching my head the last few days because this is really life imitating fiction i don't know if you read mystery novels but this is a thriller of the first degree we have the crime scene we have horror aspects of it and from the from the crime scene we go into chapter one the turks say the saudis are behind the killing the and american media international media response saying this is a scandal then we go into the second chapter american officials european officials

secretary of state like pompei was on his way to saudi arabia to discuss the case with king solomon he's also expected to visit turkey well let's talk about this in more detail with former u.s. assistant secretary of defense larry korb he joins us from washington d.c. sir as always welcome to al-jazeera and thank you for joining us so my point is going to have an interesting trip by head of him not only of we had the official confirmation from the turkish investigation that certainly died in the embassy we still don't know why and also there is news lines in the american media that actually a saudis are going to come out and say that effectively it was a mistake and many died during interrogation i mean how do you think my pump alun president trump is going to react to all of this. well i think president trump will basically say as he has up to now well mistakes happen and will punish the perpetrators and they'll basically to use an american expression throw those people they sent there to get them they'll throw them under the bus they'll probably have a mock trial and then we'll be able

that were caught and all these the top stories on al-jazeera saudi arabia's king solomon takesh president to have spoken by phone to reaffirm their commitment to a joint investigation into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi a saudi john this hasn't been seen since he entered the saudi counts that in istanbul of the second of october. france and germany a jointly calling for a credible investigation into question of geez fate so i'm going to reports from ankara. asserted delegation including saudi until chief are expected to talk with turkish officials on monday over his disappearance case and the investigation and the sound of delegation is expected to spend forty eight hours in turkey of course this is an important step by saudi arabia including king solomon's phone conversation with president john saying that they are happy about a joint working group formed with the turkish office shows however theoretically it seems the diplomatic networking is all right and the saudis and turkey's are tracked but the foreign minister stated recently that turkey is not receiving the expected call ab

riyadh cannot be condemned until facts are proven that secretary of state mike pompei o l talks of king solomon and the crown prince in riyadh about investigations into the case the u.s. has impose more sanctions on iran after accusing its military of using child soldiers. as a faction of iran's revolutionary guard recruited trained and set children to fight for bashar al assad's regime in syria. european council president says he's not hopeful of a breakthrough talks before a summit on wednesday they're going to remain deadlocked over the border between northern ireland part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is and the e.u. earlier to reach agreement could mean a return of border checks something opposed by all sides in this prime minister theresa may said she's optimistic about a deal but they use chief negotiator said more work remains. the most funders solution to include and find a solution for the no hard border on the island of oil and when not there yet various issues are still to produce coast including what i understand is that more time is needed to find is due and to rea

they did it as you say except that the show is dead they then also announced through this is all king solomon solomon son off of all of this a root and branch reform of the entire general intelligence agency and of course the announcement there that the crown prince was going to be in charge of this along with all government ministers again points to the fact that cry out the crown prince appears to be being absolved of all responsibility now we have a reuters news wire out of washington d.c. quoting an unnamed saudi official close to the investigation saying in no way was the crown prince. also be involved in the operation and there was no way possible that this was a kidnapping operation or indeed an operation intended to assassinate assassinates a dissenter however dissenters should be returned to saudi arabia now this does not fit to would seem and is none of this fits really in terms of this of the people involved in that the sort of story lines going with the turkish investigation all we know about that right now because the audiotape which recorded events within the consulate behind me

saudis king solomon telephones the turkish president. to discuss the investigation into missing saudi journalist. no i'm maryam namazie in london you with al-jazeera also coming up chancellor angela merkel's bavarian ally suffer the worst election result since nine hundred fifty and a setback that risks widening divisions within germany's national government. pope francis turns a latin american hero into a roman catholic saint archbishop oscar ramiro is on the dock to being killed in el salvador for standing up for the poor. we visit the ancient mediterranean city where palestinian residents fear they are being pushed out to make room for terrorists the. al jazeera the head of saudi intelligence has arrived in turkey and is meeting with turkish officials on monday it comes off to king solomon telephoned the turkish president to thank him for forming a joint team to investigate the disappearance of veteran journalist jamal khashoggi he also told. on that no one can undermine his country's strong relationship with turkey so let's. see is a

troops first trip outside the united states was to see king solomon in saudi arabia where they agreed to weapons contracts well there are many other things we could do but when we take away one hundred ten billion dollars of purchases from our country that hurts our workers that hurts our fact that it hurts for all of our companies here you're talking about five hundred thousand jobs so if we do that we're really hurting our country a lot more there were hurting saudi arabia but members of trump's own republican party have joined democratic politicians in calling for stronger action well he's under a lot of pressure now from the congress to actually impose sanctions on saudi government officials who might have been implicated in this problem in an opinion piece in the new york times to show g.'s fiance or. wrote jamal spoke up against oppression but he paid for the saudi people's demand for freedom with his own life if he is dead and i hope that is not the case thousands of jamal's will be born today on his birthday his voice and his ideas will reverberate from turkey to saudi arabia

i personally don't doubt the sincerity of the custodian of the two holy mosques king solomon. on the other hand it is very important that such a critical investigation about a murder is carried out by its truly a biased and fair delegation with little doubt about their connections or charter should we will follow this incident until the end whatever is required by our laws and by international laws we will carry it out in fact i'd like to make a call from here today my call is to first and foremost saudi arabia's king salmon and to senior administration bullies where the incident to therefore my offer is for these fifteen people plus three people eighteen arrested to be tried to be stamboul. let's bring in our guest joining us from london is gallup delay he's the research director at the istanbul are based off shock for him and a fellow with brookings institution in nutley new jersey we have steven rogers he's a member of the trump for president and vice reboard a former member of the f.b.i. national joint terrorism task force and also in london we have toby cadman he is an in

king solomon ok well the u.s. secretary of state is now on his way to saudi arabia to meet king solomon and after that he's going to be heading to turkey they have been improving relations between the u.s. and turkey just in the last few days because of the turkish release of the american pasta andrew bronson how do you expect this meeting to go and how do you think that they won't work together over this case i think it's important that that the circuits are as safe as was and it was it's in the region as his was it in saudi arabia first riyadh and on his was a thing also on camera the turkish capital but it's too late i mean it's just this was it should have happened ten days ago it's now two days after the disappearance of treat and now probably we probably they are trying to manage the crisis. or mr not more than that i don't expect much thank you very much for your time on this that renegade joining us live from istanbul. now there have been a couple of worldwide trends coming out of saudi arabia sorry tell u

would go back to early summer two thousand and eighteen with the controversy of the poor and how king solomon sale of the say is that there were five percent that was supposed to bring five hundred million billion dollars for the twenty thirty vision it didn't work king solomon intervened and stopped to have an exile i think if in terms of political stability his momentum was exhausted a long time ago and it is now a decline of his boss although he managed to establish a kind of deep state within the saudi state and i'm not going to fall in favor of the idea that that we should have this ambitious expectation that he will be removed or that we. i will see that he will be sidelined for a while he will disappear from the public eye till the king came to find a compromise where he is still part of the decision making and his son would remain at home all right it will be fascinated to see how this does continue to play out but we're going to have to leave it there thank you to all of you mohammed share cow here. cider she had we in london and so on air chapter in chicago thanks very much for bein

this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khalid and face on 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 actually 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 or workflow or an at least a basic agreement hence the arrival of this delegation however according to the foreign minister

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 earlier pre
