this must have very serious legal consequences so where does the responsibility lie crown prince mohammed bin simon is not only add to the throne and de facto leader is also the minister of economy minister of defense and chairman of the council of political and security affairs which the general intelligence agency reports so with all these portfolios there is an undeniable responsibility on the crown prince then there are the soft officials we mentioned earlier. syria with close aides so been some men and by their own admission they don't act on their own they take their orders directly from the crown prince bring in patty cohan in washington d.c. for us patty there's growing pressure on the trumpet ministration to take tough action against the saudi government in light of all these revelations any sign that the president just changing his stance. well there is a small sign and about twenty four hours ago he gave an interview to the washington post and he had been pretty much sending the message that he was willing to do something to saudi arabia but he did want to go too far most of his emphasis

as he's matric a saudi intelligence officer and former diplomat with close ties to crown prince mohammed bin simon. earlier this year he was photographed during the crown prince's trip to the united states jamal khashoggi was last seen in october to entering the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish officials say they have audio and video evidence of his murder state media have published details of the alleged or you're including that saudi consul how much he can be heard on the recording he left istanbul earlier this week. she had been living in the united states writing for the washington post he was a public critic of the saudi government. to sports now and in baseball the boston red sox have knocked out the houston astros to reach their first world series since two thousand and thirteen the red sox secure their place in baseball's prestigious season decider by beating the defending champs four one they'll face either the los angeles dodgers of the milwaukee brewers in the championship series where they'll be chasing a fourth title in fifteen years their manager said he was proud to be in charge

the turks ones right now now that's has said what he had to say and we even saw the crown prince mohammed bin simon make a brief appearance it's the saudi investment conference. well of course it's always a battle for influence in the regional power play that is in the middle east but right now saudis desperately want this story to go quat it's been the lead story in the news globally for three weeks every single time we do a story on it every single hour there is a drip drip effect damaging the reputation of saudi arabia damaging the crown prince in particular they want to draw a line under this the turks well clearly they want to pursue an investigation and get to the bottom of the case and find out exactly what happened in the consulate but they also want influence here and i think the speech by a president over one was very interesting he didn't say some of the things he could have said he could have directly linked this to the crown prince and raised the possibility that he'd ordered this he did not he could have talked about any tape recordings there were he did not that's because i think he

says those arrests are a great first step but he wants to talk further recess to the crown prince mohammed bin simon about the investigation let's begin our coverage with charles stratford he's live for us outside the saudi consulate in istanbul so first of all how does the latest saudi narrative fit in with the weeks of initial denials we had from saudi authorities. well quite incredible really sami when you think yes exactly the lines coming out from saudi only a few days ago really the saudis called these allegations initially a baseless lie and we even had. lines that were reported on the saudi state news agency threatening. to the world community if indeed sanctions were going to be placed on saudi arabia for this alleged crime so now to have had this announcement admitting that was actually that actually shows he died inside the embassy is already a huge a huge change i think what's really interesting as well though is the kind of direction that saudi have taken this already in these arrests that have been made and what can certainly what some of the turks we've been speaking to some in the tu

prior to that he'd been close to the saudi monarchy but was then later critical of crown prince mohammed bin simons policies also drawn attention to saudi women's rights and the war in yemen he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second pick up a document apparently for his upcoming wedding that's the last he was officially seen shortly after his disappearance turkey announced it had ordeal records of the journalist alleged killing by a saudi hitting here's artie's done cohen in washington with more. kings oman has fired five top officials and arrested eighteen people among those fired our current crown prince mohammed bin solomons advisor sowed ok to any and deputy intel intelligence chief major general ahmed all of siri they're being investigated about the case. the united states acknowledges the announcement from the kingdom of saudi arabia that its investigation into the fate of jamal has shocked she is progressing and that it has taken action against the suspect it has identified thus far we will continue to closely following the international investigation into this tragic

should be punished but he stopped short of pointing fingers he didn't mention the crown prince mohammed bin simónby name even once he's been rumored to have ordered the killing . let's take a listen to more of what dawn had to say it's now clear of course there was a murder and it was clear from the beginning then why was there risk of incoherence statements and now there is a question that there was a murder where is the body why do we not have the body. the information that the body was given to a local. call operator coconspirator and this is information by story by the way now my question is who is this. co-conspirator. and for the very latest let's go straight to istanbul where did the obvious dorian jones is standing by jordan we heard president there chip i don't seems fairly certain this was a model a violent and vicious murder as he described it but does it offer any conclusive evidence that who carried it out and who ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi. no most of the speech was basically dismantling really the narrative. he was killed in an accidental confrontation with those in the

message is the saudis claim not to know anything the king says i don't know anything crown prince mohammed bin simon who has been accused of ordering the killing of jamal she says he doesn't know anything about the whereabouts of mr chief so this is the message misapply paya will bring to ungar we're hearing from actually government sources that pompei a will first needs president arab on himself which indicates how important this meeting is a later will meet the turkish foreign minister. of course you have to know turkey u.s. relations are strained as well right at the moment there are many differences for example over the syrian conflict the engagement in syria so this is going to be really interesting what comes out of this meeting and it's going to be interesting to see how the investigation the official investigation will proceed after this meeting. with the very latest on this case joining us from outside the saudi consul there in turkey thank you so much. it was a year ago that the so-called islamic state was driven out of its self declared capital in syria the northern city of raka rocka is

prince mohammed bin salman. we will come back to you if there is any more development out of the united states. we're joined from new york byjoel simoncil for the protection of journalists. thank you for being with us. i would like to kind of reiterate again because we talk about the geopolitical effects and they are significant, at the heart of these, isa man significant, at the heart of these, is a man who has lost his life and thoughts are with those who knew him and his family. that is exactly right. what has resonated across the world is the human dimension of this crime. this was an individual who was well—known to journalists and people who follow saudi arabia. the manner in which he was killed is so brutal. to hear the saudis now claim, first, after lying and saying he was alive and the now claimed that he was killed in a fight is simply not credible. it is a really evidence of a cover—up and further affirmation that we need a credible international investigation to get to the bottom of this. what do you think the obligation is on saudi arabia's allies, the us chief amongst them, what would you like to see happen now? the mes
