let's go live now to stephanie decker who's in istanbul so stephanie some strong words coming from the turkish president what latest developments there. yes and i think interesting because he seems to have stepped up his language somewhat from when he first address the issue yesterday as you mentioned there saying that the saudis had to prove that jamal khashoggi left the building it's all about proof now the latest developments are these that the turkish president or the turkish authorities have summoned for the second time this week the saudi ambassador so harsh words i'm sure will be discussed there and then also they have also for access to investigate the saudi calls that of course you know a diplomatic mission is under the saudi jurisdiction here in turkey but of course the chain of events that turkish officials are describing are incredibly concerning but everyone is waiting for the evidence for the facts the saudis as you mentioned deny that anything happen to the journalist also he's a man who's very well connected diplomatically across the world particularly the united states

what kind of repercussions it's going to have once we have proper facts and evidence all right stephanie decker live for us in istanbul thanks stephanie president trump is appearing reluctant to take punitive measures against saudi arabia if it's found to be responsible for his disappearance despite pressure from senators from both parties opposing halting a multi-billion dollar arms deal with riyadh alan fischer reports from washington. the us president has repeatedly stop short of blaming saudi arabia for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi what happened is a terrible thing assuming that happened i mean maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised but somehow i tend to doubt it and we take. very seriously and on trump says he opposed any move by u.s. senators to block arms sales to saudi in retaliation i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you know they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend it or russia or china or someplace else so i think there are other ways if it turns out to be as bad as it might

let's start with stephanie decker joining us from istanbul outside at the saudi consulate there stephanie turkey are talking about having definite evidence have they given any actual indication of where the seventh's might be and when they might make it public when we can see it. absolutely i mean that's the one thing really that's been lacking throughout this hasn't really it's hard facts and evidence and i think that highlights just how sensitive the whole matter is politically there's been leaks often leaks leaks to the media through the international media through the major american publications the washington post which of course was the paper that jamal khashoggi contributed to and the new york times all painting an incredibly beat bleak and horrific and serious picture about what happened to the saudi journalist i mean the most recent information we have as you mentioned there is that the turkish authorities a certain he was killed they know where he was killed they have on pos that to the americans in their own policy it to their other allies really i think rallying their allies a

guess also the pressure is building on saturday to react in whatever way we're hearing from stephanie decker that still turkish investigators that are actually being allowed to go into the consulate itself i mean what what what are the options open to saudi right now with this you know just judging from what president trump said the last few hours now i'm more convinced than ever before it was a lot of circumstantial evidence now i think that this is more or less a clear scenario that the man the poor man went into the consulate never certainly never came up to life we know that we know the saudis are involved and we know that there was some kind of a squad some people call it a death squad to sort coming in and out flying through dubai through cairo to istanbul one day apparently doing the deed going back and so on so forth so clearly the saudis are involved in this clear this is a major blunder and clearly it's part of this long process sees of these doing something with total impunity now i think i think the community has just stopped and now someone has going to have to come clean in sau

saudi arabia insists the allegations are baseless we're heading live now to that very embassy stephanie decker is our correspondent there are stephanie. well come every one's pretty much waiting for some kind of hard facts evidence to know what exactly happened in that consulate behind us i mean right now you look at it it's of course closed but there are lights on the blinds are drawn and of course you know we can only assume that the people who work inside know what happened the only thing we know as we've been saying is that he entered a week ago and no one has seen him since but interestingly we did see a still that was published in the washington post that i now reports so let's take a look at how the last twenty five. it's an ominous image. on security camera video entering the saudi considered last tuesday his fiance who accompanied him to the consulate is verified it is the last time he has been seen in public just a few days ago the saudi journalist spoke to b.b.c. radio recently a saudi columnist an economist who was close to the royal court got that listed and that's a good many peo
