government 1st made claims about fate but quickly had to change their story after our reporting mohammed bin salman has wasted billions of dollars of saudi money portraying himself as a reformer because it's now possible that he gave the order to kill which is deeply troubling after a number of weeks of changing their narrative and a constant stream of new information saudi arabia finally admitted that specialty had indeed been murdered inside its consulate but the blame was placed on what saudi officials described as rogue elements the crown prince has denied this a compass is not aware of this a year run and it seems that the saudi government is adopting a different media strategy with crown prince mohammed bin son mantra's ing to speak on u.s. television in an apparent bid to take charge of the media narrative that this was a heinous crime like this but i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia especially since it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government if jamal khashoggi was killed because of his journalism it shows how threatened the saudi regime is by

he allegedly said that mohammed bin salmond trusted her shoji implicitly.

the first is that to me, mohammed bin salman recognized is possibility as head of state.e also implicitly and by implication recognized that the killing of jamal khashoggi wasaa state killing. something that so far the authorities have systematically refused and criticized me for findining that the statate of si arabia was responsible for the killing. the e second reaction is less positive. it is that in his comments, the crown prince takes great pain creating a distance between himself over there on top and the crimes down there at the bottom. he is creating a sense of distance. he is arguing look, the state is big, i cannot be held accountable for everything g tht is being done within the state. that is one of the messages he is trying to communicate. it is a typical pr message that head of compmpanies will putut forward whenever their companies are in trouble. >> are you satisfied with the international community's reactions to your findings? >> now, i am not satisfied. so far with the way the executives, the government of many countries around the world have responded

this man — the new saudi crown prince, mohammed bin salman — was a target of jamal‘s criticism. was hailed by many in the west as a reformer. very nice people. president trump praised him on high—profile trips to washington. it's an honour to have the crown prince of saudi arabia with us. our relationship is probably the strongest it's ever been. we understand each other. at home, however, mbs was soon cracking down on anyone who opposed him. human rights activists and journalists. all highlighted by jamal khashoggi in the post. "i am raising my voice. i can speak when so many cannot." this was not the image of his leadership that the crown prince wanted to project. i think that particularly aggravated him and he kept asking his aides to do something about this jamal problem. the saudis were presented with just the opportunity in istanbul. whenjamal was told he had to get his proof of divorce, he and hatice went to the saudi consulate straight away. they were surprised to see him, and offered him tea and coffee. he was really pleased, he told me there was nothing to be afraid of

whatever that was on the 21st of june 27th teen mohamed bin selma was made crown prince of saudi arabia. 2 weeks later a major diplomatic crisis blew up in the gulf between saudi arabia and 3 of its allies and qatar. also that june another writer close to be in selma on advised either to take part in the campaign against qatar or to leave the country. chose to leave saudi arabia he flew from jeddah via london to the united states. the pressure increased i believe into 14 or to 15 when he was writing minister of information decided to publish the letter from writing and i think you found that very insulting you should remember the germans banned from tweeting and the i think article white. because he's done a lot of speaking of. we've met the governor and. the concept of the cross and the freedom of conciliation and we did what. i think 107 money is there in. version 213 no he just has to do it right i showed you had studied journalism at indiana state university in the early eighty's and worked for the saudi diplomat took feisal while he was ambassador to the u.s. . i show she's for chi
