the prosecutor's office here in istanbul. correspondent who for the past month has followed the political developments very closely. was the feeling. keeps up the pressure on the saudis whilst also maintains that very difficult relationship with the united states as well. while bitter yes it's an it's a double sided knife for for turkey regarding its strong relations with saudi arabia and its strong but if fragile relations with saudi arabia until now we have witnessed that person's iran has managed to put pressure over saudi arabia as he has become a specific side of this case he said that he's on the side of justice he said that he's going to call the responsible to account and this is what he tried to do on till now actually the first phase of this pressure was actually is through media it was the media pressure that put saudis in corner and made them change their state pretoria for a couple of times saudi arabia first denied. it being inside the consulate saying that he already left and then they denied he was killed but

in istanbul. to do that. to do that you've got to have a body remains of a body or you've got to have this ordeal recording that we've a lot about and people are saying actually that already recording might be a big problem for the turkish authorities because there are questions about. how did you get that information of course dimwit's to gaze at this point is still you know just confidential we don't know the facts yet but you're right that you know all the evidence is has to be faint you know legally if any evidence will be opened illegally of course they cannot be used before the courts as an evidence investigation is something different. that's why yesterday the chief public prosecutor made the statement that you know. when you just read it carefully they just point out two issues the first issue is like you know he pointed out that this murder was. an intentional base the second one is like you know. his body was like destroyed i think which also indicates that they have enough legal op didn't ever that

there live from istanbul allan thank you. the chump administration has announced it's reimposing all the u.s. sanctions on iran which were lifted on to this twenty fifty nuclear deal donald trump put this photograph on his twitter feed to announce those sanctions he went for the program game of throw in that tweets. as you know sanctions are starting on iran. you know iran is taking a very big hit but the country is not the same country as when i started. almost two years ago a red is a much different country since i germinated that deal that was one of the most ridiculous deals ever made by any country editing time the iran nuclear deal but sanctions very much are elevated as. you know when there's no. well for more let's go to those jordan and washington d.c. hi there was tell us a bit more about what exactly has been and i. well the secretary of state mike palm peo and treasury secretary steve michonne spoke with reporters on friday morning to preview the sanctions which take effect at five g.m.t. on monday november fifth

in istanbul four weeks ago. his body was then dismembered, and in the words of the prosecutor, destroyed, in line with plans made in advance. the bbc‘s mark lowen reports from istanbul. his murder has captivated and shocked, drawn demands for justice and shaken relations with saudi arabia. now the truth is emerging about jamal khashoggi's end after entering its istanbul consulate. it comes as saudi arabia's public prosecutor leaves after fruitless talks here. turkish sources saying he was more interest in learning what evidence they had. in a statement, his turkish counterpart said no concrete results were achieved, and confirmed for the first time details of the murder. "jamal khashoggi was choked to death immediately after entering the consulate general of saudi arabia in istanbul", it reads. "the victim's body was dismembered and destroyed following his death by suffocation." so mr khashoggi's remains may never be found, though turkish officials have been digging in this istanbul forest for traces. the saud

but during his visit to istanbul last month sandy chief prosecutor. reportedly told turkish authorities that the king was willing to pay blood money to hush up his family and fiance he also said he had no idea about the whereabouts of the slain journalist body. and as the investigation continues turkey's foreign minister. says his country has more information wants to give a name and nobody can stop him to do that so we emphasize in the article that the instruction didn't come from king solomon well it is also always that doors fifteen people. didn't come to stumble to murder. themselves so they got instructions from somebody so of you have to find out who gave this instructions this is the. simple question that we have put according to the turkish daily newspaper staff of the saga consulate try to tamper with security camera outside the consulate but turkish police managed to retrieve the footage providing the now famous image of hotshots you walking into the building on the day he was killed and we're finding out more about the teams that were sent

turkish investigators were acting on phone records of calls made from the saudi consulate in istanbul before she was murdered one is said to have been made to the villa by a saudi national he's been named as left tenant colonel mansoor othman abu hussein who was a member of the so-called hit squad which carried out the killing it's thought that colonel abu hussein is in the saudi civil defense force and to serve the crown prince the turkish prosecutor has issued a statement saying the call was made a day before the killing and it was to discuss either how to hide or destroy this because saudis body. the search included the surrounding area and a neighboring villa which is also owned by a saudi national neither of the owners was present fire services drained two wells before the forensic team took away samples. the two main theories about what happened to mr because saudis body either it was dismembered and dissolved in acid in the consulate or his remains were taken away in black suitcases purchased by saudi officials on the morning of the murder they were then either disposed all be

to istanbul and our correspondent andrew sum and so andrew is it fair to say this is i guess the biggest most substantial claim so far that we've seen since september the twenty eighth into october the second. it certainly is pizza yes it's a little coles shock waves right across the board it certainly puts to bed the argument over whether or not the saudi arabian account of events really is true turkey has been insisting all along that the account the saudis of tried to project it's been a very very confusing war because it's changed at least four to five times but it is falsified according to the best to gauge and team it is really an attempt at trying to cover up the real circumstances the fact that it was ordered from on high not just from on high as the term is used but it was ordered by mohammed bin salim on the crown prince himself now the cia has assembled a whole range of evidence it would seem not just how had been cited a man the saudi ambassador to washington having a phone conversation or a text exchange certainly a phone conversation is what it seems to have been with jamal

well do remember the chief saudi prosecutor arrived in istanbul for a series of meetings arrived late on monday meetings on tuesday then on wednesday before leaving and thursday before leaving late last night the fact that he was just leaving the country when the statement was a sign of their frustration with sodium arabia so uribe has said we will cooperate with all the investigations we will be open we were transparent but it's clear that the turks don't believe they're getting full cooperation among the points that they're keen to press home is that they asked the saudis again what happened to jamal khashoggi body are we talking about a body are we talking about body parts when you dismembered how did you dispose of the body if you did indeed use a local collaborator who was that passion where can we find them how can we speak to them and of course the crucial question of who ordered this who was in charge of the operation who said yes we should kill them and they clearly do have tuck's believe it was premeditated they thought that from the very beginning these are slowly moving to

a mosque in istanbul. yeah. it was a call for a holy war to old listenings including arabs who supported the canaan. the germans believed that this cold could undermine their enemies war efforts. there were millions of muslims in the british and french colonies where the germans hoped for mass uprisings. they launched a campaign to influence muslims fighting for the allies. it was led by german lawyer diplomat and ancient historian. of his obviously very dear to his heart because of his german pictures of and so on. and his interest in the middle east but in a very specific way by eight hundred ninety nine. was it no one had a reputation as an experienced and really very well informed travel are. open heim was an adventurer and archaeologist but was also involved in planning the route of the balland to baghdad railway. the german government wanted to build the line to compete with the british to give them access to oil and bring the region under stronger influence. nothing unusual about the fact that siemens who

and he held two meetings with istanbul's chief prosecutor the man who is leading this investigation into the murder of she and those meetings did not produce the any tangible results and the prosecutor himself making that very very clear and that's why he released those details about the murder now the saudi arabians are now inviting is them both chief prosecutor to come to riyadh to participate in the investigation there the istanbul chief prosecutor has not responded on whether that is going to happen but the justice minister did say that he didn't believe that this is going to take place because according to him. questions need to be answered that we cannot move to the next phase until questions turkey is posed are answered. the whole world's attention is on this matter so it cannot be kept a secret it's a concern for everyone but the conscience of everyone the world is calling for an answer we're asking for the saudi side to cooperate closely they need to cooperate and support the inquiry so the matter can be resolved well the frustration. is pretty. out there you might say you

the search centered on a large villa near the town of yellow over an hour's drive south of istanbul the forty strong team including police with sniffer dogs security forces and forensic investigators spent all monday at the villa which is said to be owned by a rich saudi businessman turkish media reported that he has links to crown prince mohammed bin sandman portraits of the saudi king and crown prince could be seen hanging in the hallway turkish investigators were acting on phone records of calls made from the saudi consulate in istanbul before jamal khashoggi was murdered one is said to have been made to the villa by a saudi national he's been named as left tenant colonel mansoor othman abu hussein was a member of the so-called hit squad which carried out the killing it's thought that colonel abu hussein is in the saudi civil defense force and to serve the crown prince the turkish prosecutor has issued a statement saying the call was made a day before the killing and it was to discuss either how to hide or destroy this because saudis body. the search included the surrounding area and

body or his body parts turkish officials really feel that the saudi top prosecutor came to istanbul to try to find out what evidence turkey had instead of coming here with a you know a good will to cooperate in his statement the prosecutor giving us details about the murder saying that. she was strangled to death upon his upon you know immediately after he entered the consulate now what this means is that it dismisses the saudi narrative what was the saudi narrative it was that there was some sort of an argument and these saudi agents were sent to try to convince. to return to saudi arabia so there was this argument in a fistfight and he died accidentally so this you know this really dismisses the saudi arabian narrative they also mention that his body was chopped into pieces dismembered and they also mention the word destroyed which really it's open to a lot of interpretation people are wondering why why mention this is there a theory that they're working on a series that could involve the possible use of acid or did they burn the bodies so what is not clear so far is where is she's b

and for more we're joined now by our istanbul correspondent junia han your anchor said all along that the saudi government must be responsible for this is there a sense of vindication there in turkey now. we have so far we have no official reaction say here in turkey yet the president out on may comment on the matter later today the cia so far has also not confirmed it these media reports but i think it's safe to assume that in general this is good news they have been trying to internationalize the whole investigation getting other countries and bored they said it was a premeditated murder of president out on himself that it was ordered quote at the highest levels of the saudi government now the cia's findings as cited by the washington post are the most definite u.s. assessment directly linking the crown prince to the murder of mr shakti that we have so far and contradicting of course the saudi narrative the saudis still are maintaining that the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with it that is playing into the turkish government hands they have been you know repeatedly rowin

less powerful than that man walked into the when that man walked into the constant building here in istanbul but i think i think there will will try to handle this and that is disgraces in order to say probably because otherwise i don't expect for example the crown prince to be sidelined so i don't expect also the u.s. administration to be. giving up on him but. definitely. there will be some. rearrangement of of the relationship and we should expect also the congress to act. by mid january they might introduce also either sanctions or a block of arms embargo at that point and also probably be. at some additional measures could be taken with respect to the middle east i think the repercussions. will be. maybe not only just to let this die out this is incident discloser incident but also the american administration will try to. lessen the pressure on the saudis by managing for example the many war by managing the blockade on qatar and oil prices will be probably they will be asked to the saudis to put more capacity into the world and more more oil will come probably because they have a spare
