president appears to hint at the possible involvement of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma. there's been a shift in tone from the u.s. president about the killing of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi inside the kingdom's istanbul consulate for the first time since he died three weeks ago donald trump has suggested the crown prince mohammed bin cell man may have been involved donald trump called the kingdom's handling of the murder the worst coverup ever and his administration now plans to ban twenty one suspects from entering the united states more from mike hanna in washington for the first time a tone of anger in president trump's remarks they had a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups very simple. bad deal should have never been thought of. felt but he really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and were chittister is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble late in the day at a meeting with military offic

because she was not just a dissident he was a former insider turned critic of crown prince mohammed bin salma and he had a platform at his disposal at the washington post his disappearance not only sends a chilling message to independent saudi voices everywhere it takes mohamed bin sol mon's well known intolerance for internal criticism and the house of saud utter ambivalence to the disapproval of outsiders to a new level and it provides yet more evidence of the folly of some in the western media commentary it who had bought into the image of bin psalm on as the enlightened prince the reformer our starting point this week is this down bill. because entering saudi arabia because it was a shock to seen around the world. last moments as a free man i mean he entered the istanbul consulate that day having reportedly been assured that he was not being targeted if it was a try then walked right into. damascus so he would have been a target for a myriad of reasons. not only was he a longtime insider with many contacts and also years of life in saudi arabia he was well acquainted with him one sial bus

that lasted nearly eighteen hours that day jamal khashoggi who dared to criticize the rule of mohammed bin salma is declared missing but he's really dead the only thing that is missing is his body. we're joined now in the studio by roxanne foreman from my own who's a lecturer in politics and international studies at cambridge university thanks for misha for coming to talk to us so i don't is promising the naked truth as he puts it in. what you think that means well everyone has been playing this game very carefully and there's been a drip drip drip of information and he's been very. careful also to show that he's allowed the information to come out but he personally has not been involved in its dissemination so this is finally going to be him making a statement and clearly what he's been doing is balancing the the opportunity this has offered to reestablish himself on the world stage and to be a supporter of clarity and human rights and even journalist. profession even though of course turkey is itself the highest holder of of journalists in prison so he is finally probably going to come through

makes his first public comments on the killing speaking at a high profile business conference mohamed bin salma calls the show his death a heinous crime he also says it is cooperating with turkish investigators. good to have you with us and we begin tonight in the united states where the circle of prominent targets were sent suspected explosive devices continues to why. police are currently investigating a suspicious package at the office of senior democrat lawmaker deborah wasserman schultz in florida in why pedia back you wait at the time warner building in new york city today after a suspect parcel was found at the c.n.n. offices there the secret service has also intercepted packages sent to former secretary of state hillary clinton and to former president barack obama officials said that all three devices appeared to be crude pipe bomb. a short while ago the white house weighed in in an unusual move president trump's wife delivered remarks condemning the apparent attacks first and then she was followed by her husband the full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this invest

united states and wrote for the washington post he was an outspoken critic of saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma saudi arabia denies killing him. to our correspondent yulia han in istanbul unwelcome. what's included in this inspection. well this is the moment turkish investigators have been waiting for to finally be allowed into the saudi consulate now you have to know they can just enter as they wish according to international law embassies and consulates are technically foreign soil so the turks need permission by the saudis so what we are hearing now is that a joint team of turkish and saudi investigators are conducting what they call a joint investigation it remains unclear however what this investigation will be about what the scope of this investigation will be the turks of course one to do forensic tests they seek to find d.n.a. or blobs traces of jamaah inside the building this would of course support their claim that he was indeed. there but the question is will they be allowed to do so and what will they still be able to find inside the saudi consulate it's been more it's been almost t

on bigger between the united states saudi arabia and of course you know bibi netanyahu and mohammed bin salma or big buddies the ultimate power couple maybe maybe something's changing room when there's something going on behind the scenes what it what's interesting is the timing of this is that as saudi arabia is sort of trying to modernize it so i say in quotations i would be definitely quotation marks a some might. mostly using the crown prince as this like vision of modern and like he's so hip look at him he is cool never. sure and essentially the end of the day he still wants to be a dictator he just wants to be dictatorial monarchy you know it's it's not really changing how does a free press hurt him and in relation how does not how does sort of turning your back on a free press going to help them in any way and i don't i don't know if saudi contacts i don't think free press matters where the otherness goes i don't know i would look at his previous writings or regarding he would be a critic of mohammed bin so money doesn't mean necessarily he's for freedom and as we understand it and is

investigation sedate him sings going forward this conversation between president or to juan and mohamed bin salma and saudi arabia's crown prince we understand that telephone conversation was actually demanded by the crown prince himself interesting enough only an hour or so we understand before he entered that vital investment conference in riyadh. for him to figure him over slowly as he tries to sure up as much causative prio as he current will can only be described as the biggest crisis he's faced since basically taken control of the cone true taken control of the arabia since two thousand and fifty thank you charles strength and for that update from istanbul we go to washington d.c. his company how could our white house correspondent kimberly the latest from you on well the political fallout in the u.s. over the killing yeah well the most imminent would be the meeting in the briefing between the president and the cia director g. and a hassle who of course is return from turkey not on the official schedule of the president but we understand that it is taking place at some point on the white ho

senior advisor to mohammed bin solomon and so that suggests that even the saudis have had to take on all of these these allegations that there were people close to mohammed bin salma and there has. been obviously no further indication from the saudis that solomon knew about this but as you say the evidence suggests the contrary you speak to saudi experts and they say he's inconceivable that such a major operation involving fifteen men sent across to a foreign country to to to participate in this operation one of whom as i say this man met him a trip who is one of we understand one of the saudi princes crown prince's private bodyguards a man who was on c.c.t.v. is going into the embassy on the day that because she went inside appearing a few hours later and then literally only about over an hour or so off to leaving the consulate appearing at the airport this is very very strong evidence that has been leaked to the media by the. and as you say everybody is saying that it does seem completely unbelievable that the saudi prince crown prince didn't know about this interesting lee as well of we've heard this from senate says from from u.s. officials very much also kolk

prince muhammad bin salma and he had a platform at his disposal at the washington post his disappearance not only sends a chilling message to independent saudi voices everywhere it takes mohamed bin solomon's well known intolerance for into. burnell criticism and the house of saud utter ambivalence to the disapproval of outsiders to a new level and it provides yet more evidence of the folly of some in the western media commentary it would bought into the image of been solid man as the enlightened prince the reformer our starting point this week is a stamp. entering saudi arabia because it was a shock to seen around the world jamal khashoggi is the last moments as a free man i mean he entered the istanbul consulate that day having reportedly been assured that he was not being targeted if it was a trap then walked right into. damascus so he would have been a target for a myriad of reasons. not only was he a longtime insider with many contacts and also years of life in saudi arabia he was well acquainted with him one chal businessman and members of a government bureaucracy as one of the press and he was present in a lot of backroom conversations that i'm sure made a lot of peopl

are the images that we've been waiting for for the past twenty minutes or so the crown prince mohammed bin salma flanked by the lebanese prime minister mr hariri and that in itself not the easiest relationship in the region because we saw mr hariri not so very long ago announces resignation and then he rescinded the resignation and there was a very old counterplay between those two men we suspect why is mr hariri there apparently demonstrating loyalty to the crown prince. well i don't know if isn't stretching the royalty to the crown prince as a person but he is demonstrating loyalty to saudi arabia and his party his government is really standing because of the support that they received from saudi arabia is a very important ally to him and to the wider sunni community in lebanon and it's very important factor of stabilizing the situation in lebanon so it doesn't really have much i think. leverage in one thing to attend the not wanting to unlike a musea lot of the leaders who are there are leaders of states that are in the domain of influence of saudi arabia in general it's just about money or i

mike pompei o is now in riyadh he first met king solomon before sitting down with crown prince mohammed bin salma on the washington post newspaper is reporting u.s. intelligence services intercepted evidence which shows the crown prince personally ordered an operation to detain ashaji donald trump has spoken of rogue killers and media reports say the saudis are considering a statement saying he was killed when an interrogation quotes went wrong all this as the un's human rights chief calls for the lifting of diplomatic immunity for saudi consular staff to allow a full investigation in view of the seriousness of the situation surrounding the disappearance of mystical shortly the high commissioner believes the inviolability or immunity of the relevant premises and officials bestowed by treaties such as the one thousand nine hundred sixty three vienna convention on consular relations should be waived immediately. under international law both of force disappearance and an extrajudicial killing are very serious crimes and immunity should not be used to impede investigations into what happened and who

it was interesting that that phone call was stationed between president and the crown prince mohammed bin salma and was actually. fooled by the crown prince himself the statement from presidential sources we've spoken to basically reinforcing the importance of this joint initiative this joint investigation to try . and find a balance of a promise to find the culprits and to bring them to justice but we know how strained saudi arabia and turkey relationship has been in recent years i mean they've been a major problem since the support of the muslim brotherhood in egypt in two thousand and thirteen they've also been differing opinions with respect to the war in syria took his relationship for with iran for example as well that the saudi arabians not happy ways and then of course there is the saudi led blockade on cuts which the subpoena obviously very helpful in supporting the countries in dealing with that crisis and it was interesting to hear crown prince mohammed bin solomon later on in the conference say that there were efforts being made to to drive a wedge between he and the saudis but as i

istanbul more than a week ago the washington post is reporting that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma ordered an operation to log back home to saudi arabia and tane him has more now from istanbul there were initial reports that the saudis had allegedly given them permission to search the building we understand actually that this has not this has been rescinded in that they have not allowed for the turkish authorities to search the consulate or the car council general's home or vehicles registered to the diplomatic mission here all of which are points of interest to the investigation after it had been established that fifteen saudi nationals had entered on the morning of truce day amongst them special forces as well as the head of for in sick units at the saudi defense forces and others as well as footage that came from traffic cameras which showed vehicles leaving their consulates behind me and going in different direction an american astronauts on a russian cosmonaut have survived a failed rocket launch and an emergency landing they were forced to make course called a ballistic desce

that the head of the squad who killed him out the ship called the secretary of crown prince mohammed bin salma four times that after that again goes against the narrative we're now hearing from saudi arabia that this was a rogue element and stake in the crown prince didn't know and now he's going for the after the killers for justice and yet another reason now this is to think that this is not credible well as we've been hearing during the last two or twenty days of the saga international pressure continues to mount the u.k. france and germany are jointly calling for an urgent clarification of what happened they say the investigation needs to be backed by credible facts the german chancellor angela merkel has suspended arms sales to saudi. first we condemn this act in the strongest terms as we might today second there is an urgent need to clarify what happened from having this cleared out and those responsible held to account thirdly i agree with those who are saying that it will be it already limited six bullets can take place in the current circumstances. matthew why the germans happy to up

crossing the red line hits so skillfully tried in the past daring to criticize the crown prince mohammed bin salma i still see him as an informer but he is getting old poet within his hand and it would be much better for him to allow a bidding space for the critic for the intellectuals for all your active sort of the media to debate the most important needed transformation going in the country. past wasn't without controversy an advisor to saudi intelligence chief turki al-faisal helping saudi intelligence in afghanistan alongside the much i had seen on osama bin laden an advocate of political islam through the muslim brotherhood but he also championed reforms even praised the crown prince for enacting them but last year he went into self-imposed exile in the united states for comments that angered the saudi leader. seen here with the missing journalist last year has known and worked with the shoji for at least thirty years he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom

media have now and one doesn't have to scroll back too far to see the evidence of crown prince mohammed bin salma known as m.b.'s effectively took power less than eighteen months ago his promises of reform his decision to finally allow saudi women to drive along with a carefully choreographed media tour in the us went down while working hard. news outlets that are usually skeptical of saudi propaganda including the b.b.c. the guardian the washington post and the new york times body in producing positive stories and editorials you can still find those articles online given what has happened since and the changes that haven't happened the editors who signed off on those pieces probably wish they could take them back you really have to believe that some of it was that well thomas friedman calling the embodiment of saudi arabia's arab spring deliberately ignoring the obvious violation of these principles in the arrests of journalists in the crackdown on women activists and other liberal. and now they've seen some attempts. i like thomas freeman to backpedal and i'm really i'm being reluctant to even

who is a very close advisor to mohammed bin salma who is one of the men that has has lost his job has been sacked in saudi arabia anyway his tricks quits her account in two thousand and seventeen when he was asking some of his followers to flag up accounts that needed to be blacklisted or will want to he replied in this thread do you think i make decisions without guidance i am in the i am an employee and a faithful executive of the orders of my lord the king and my lord the faithful crown prince i mean there are some people of the saying that this man has lost his job as a means of the saudis deflecting blame away. from m.b.a. spall might have been solomon but that tweet by him is a major indication that they were very close there's also some very interesting details that are appearing in the american media as well the new york times says that it is spoken to an official saudi soules named that says that. when. the consulate october the second the fight ensued and the question was he was choked to death but this is what's also interesting you says that. the body was handed to a colla

suspect kill one of the men al jazeera has learned is a bodyguard of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmalet's go live now to istanbul stratford is outside that consulate in the city charles tell us more about these these pictures that have emerged of the saudi crown prince his bodyguard. or that you know he really described these pictures as being some very strong evidence certainly implicating some sort of involvement. by this man as you say who is one of the saudi crown prince is bodyguards may have looked trip we also understand that he had previously woods for the saudi embassy in london and these photographs we are told show him apparently a riving at the consul entering the consulate nine fifty five local time am on the top of the second that of course is the day that crucial she had his appointment here at the consulate appointment at around one pm is a second photograph of mitra walking out of the consulate a full fifty three pm that's around seven hours later is the third photograph that shows matric with other members of the suspected saudi team a team that has been described b

aspect of this because we saw those pictures with mohammed bin salma shaking the hand with jamal khashoggi son he cannot leave saudi arabia or quit handshake of the year it has to be understandably but as a p.r. exercise the backfire or was that carried off superbly well given given that the choreography that had to go into that moment i think it it backfired i think in the arab street it was badly received for a number of reasons one of the most important is this that in islam you do not offer condolences you do not accept condolences until you've had the opportunity to lay to rest the dead body you know and. the image of him being brought to the palace being offered condolences without knowing where his father's body is it must be a very terrible thing to have ok we have to leave it there we'll talk again i'm sure in the next hour or so south america thank you so much will break for the weather with kevin. that's right we're looking at a very good big system here across parts of eastern europe take a look the clouds right here moving down towards the south this is a cold front that with

process is determining the full truth about the coup shoji murder and holding its likely author mohammed bin salma on fully accountable for the vice president joe biden seemed to agree with the rest of the world is watching the united states of america we have let the world and they're wondering where the hell are we what's become of us and now. n.b.s. the saudi arabia who i know my lord he's making excuses. by the way you know that all expression some people bring a gun to a knife right where you don't bring bandsaws to flights the anger shows no signs of abating this is the straw that broke the camel's back as far as united states is concerned that these other incidents i think he's got the past. he's not going to get a pass on this. it seems the biggest question in washington now how big of a price could saudi have to pay. the washington post as a couple of other interesting tidbits and here it says that senator lindsey graham a close advisor to the president has been very outspoken on this issue even calling for regime change in saudi arabia basically saying m.b.'s has to go that he's warned t

reported that went wrong and it wasn't in any way officially sanctioned by the crown prince mohammed bin salma and they're also saying we do know that the saudis have launched an internal investigation into these allegations as well but we understand that. the we believe some of the fifty main turkish government sources leaked to pro-government media as being part so they say of this hit squad will also be interrogated or spoken to by saudi authorities when you speak to saudi experts people who you know very much across the workings of the saudi do on. they'll tell you that the idea of fifty men coming over some who are very close might get to the royal court to get clued in what we believe was. the will top see expert on the top will talk to be experts in the country this idea that they came over without any official sanction people will tell you it is quite inconceivable i think what's going to be very interesting as the day goes forward is looking at the results of this meeting between compay pompei oh the u.s. secretary of state and the saudi king as to whether we are basically looking at

mohammed bin salma prior to him arriving in in ankara in a very brief meeting in with with the crown prince the the the really the pressure was on at that point it was a clear shift of opinion within the white house in the state department about whether they could ride this out now can they now rather doubt with this explanation and with whatever evidence follows remains to be seen but it would seem that the repression now is on president and indeed all of the. officials of the forensic offices everyone involved in the investigation here at the consulate and also the the the consul general's residence where some polls have been found and the justice minister said only thirty six hours ago that he was convinced this was a successful thorough investigation a homicide investigation now then lies the possible floor for the saudi story in that that audiotape should show whether or not that the unimaginable prospect as some might think that should try and fight all of these men you know bodyguards of ugs them to try and fight them and and really try and get out of the building maybe he rea
