the subject consulate in istanbul was about a month ago. and the law pro-government papers in turkey are raising more questions about the investigation and especially why saudi arabia's top diplomats in istanbul aren't being questioned turkish prosecutors suspect the consul general and station chief pave the way for hundreds of these murders and after all talk us through that and tell us how much pressure this is all putting on the saudis to cooperate. well we just heard from the turkish justice minister short while ago reiterating a call that turkey has been making for months now we expect saudi arabia to enter into close cooperation with us in this investigation turkish officials increasingly frustrated because they believe saudi arabia has been delaying the investigation slowing down the process and the justice minister's comments just a day after saudi arabia's top prosecutor left istanbul he was here he held talks with chief prosecutor the man who is leading this investigation and he didn't come and you know add anything to the investi

but during his visit to istanbul last month.

on monday and tuesday he held meetings with istanbul's chief prosecutor the man leading the investigation into the murder of. what we understand from turkish officials and sources inside the prosecutor's office they believe the saudi top prosecutor did not come here to share evidence and to help in the investigation he came here to find out what evidence turkey has and saudi arabia's top prosecutor invited the istanbul chief prosecutor to visit and to participate in the investigations taking place there we still do not know if the a sample prosecutor will accept that invitation but we heard the justice minister say he doesn't believe that this will happen because in his belief it's just not the right time because we can't move to a next phase when church he has questions that remain on answered. the whole world's attention is on this matter so it cannot be kept a secret it's a concern for everyone for 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 resolve

follow the story for us since it broke in october he's joining us from istanbul talk us through what's it out for you joe. there really it is almost impressive just how many times the saudis continue to change their narrative and even in this latest statement by the prosecutor general spokesperson they are the amount of inconsistency is inconsistency is rather and it's really staggering i mean the idea for example that the saudis are saying finally yes that they was the . cure was killed and he was dismembered but in the same breath saying well their intention wasn't to kill him but six tracked him begs the question why on earth would u.s. send a team that was to extract somebody with the capabilities to dismember that said person that's is the most outrageous kind of inconsistency that pops up from those statements but also as you mentioned there's been the talk of was there a local collaborates or wasn't there a local collaborates and now there is a local collaborator but even though that those being questioned in saudi have admitted to everything they fail to have been able to admit

the rules of submission exactly what went on in istanbul and who specifically ordered it is now being taken up by congress particularly the foreign relations committee how much pressure is that it's own the president because he does have to report within a hundred twenty days there's no question there's a lot of pressure it seems that while the president has tried with his statement on tuesday to say case closed matter closed this is a congress intent on keeping it very much open on a number of levels whether it's the triggering of the global magnitsky act through that letter sent to the white house on tuesday evening following the president's statement where you're right he does now have to report back specifically with a fine point on whether or not and what evidence it has or does not have that shows you was killed and that was an order coming from the crown prince we saw this triggered once before it was a letter sent by the u.s. senators twenty two of them in fact on october tenth it resulted in seventeen national saudi nationals being sanctioned by the u.s. treasury department b

a month after he walked into that saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen again a senior official has told our desire of the journalists body was dismembered and dissolved in acid and that the saudi hit squad that carried out the killing is done similar operations before let's check in with alan fischer he is outside that saudi consulate in istanbul so as you were saying to us earlier the turks just drip feeding this information out by no more than that later on and now we get another bit of information. exactly right i know it's hard to believe that it's exactly a month since to mark should you walked into the building behind me and did not reappear by this time a month ago the killing had already taken place and the cleanup operation was already well underway you remember it was just a matter of hours after jamal khashoggi went in to the consulate that the so-called hit team fifteen were spotted leaving in two different planes out of turkey and away from the crime that they committed but the fact that they had been involved in similar operations is obviously something that's bee

but during his visit to istanbul last month sandy chief prosecutor said. 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 these 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 to turke

hello we begin with new developments out of istanbul in the murder case of saudi journalist. turkish sources have told al jazeera that new evidence has been found at the saudi consul general's residence that's where investigators believe these body may have been disposed off. following the story for us joining us from istanbul what are they saying about what this new evidence is. well there in this saying that during their search of the premises of the saudi council's home if you remember that took place a couple of weeks ago and actually took place more than two full weeks since the murder. when they were finally allowed to enter the investigators were able to take samples from the there is a well at the back of this home now to kind of maybe give us a bit of an idea of the on which the consulate is in as well as the ambassador's or the rather the consul general's home it's one that traditionally has villas and larger houses in istanbul and therefore this well the back was present in what is a very large garden behind the consul general's home the investigators at the time w

were monitoring the situation after to merge the journalist had been killed in the saudi embassy in istanbul well vince mcmahon's company has come under fire from many fans calling for crown jewel to be cancelled but there's a lot of money on the line this should be and to a decade decade long deal to stage events with the saudis reportedly worth four hundred fifty million dollars some u.s. politicians have been critical but one of them is actually wrestling mayor of knox county tennessee glenn jacobs known to w w e funds as cain is part of the main event that we do we has also gone into the deal knowing that it's women wrestlers are not allowed to perform in saudi arabia and their biggest star john cena isn't there he refused to work the show according to reports others wrestlers though saying they need the money. i didn't know we called out for a walk to the motor so yourself your cup of warm water was. where the airport oh yeah. you can get a lot of their publicity of course because i'm with the jargon five q right we're going to go make that hour they want me inside i'm going to get resp

exactly a month ago came to istanbul he was killed in istanbul. turkey and saudi arabia are now at loggerheads investigation into his death is going no place this is inside story. hello and welcome from turkey today inside story coming to you from istanbul exactly a month ago today. the saudi journalist walked into that building behind me to collect some paperwork he was just about to get remarried instead of getting a stamp on a form and walking out of the build.

zana thank you center harder in istanbul for our one hour special the. waiting justice as later on friday at twelve g.m.t. right here on nigeria. i'm peter darby here in istanbul a little later we'll have a live special news program for you one month on from the death of jamal khashoggi more than four weeks since he walked into that building behind me there are still three questions which have yet to be answered who killed him who ordered his killing and where is the body of jamal khashoggi that's a news hour special with live coverage from istanbul from twelve hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera. following. the spotlights turned to how much money saudi arabia spends in the u.s. trying to buy influence in both politics and education some universities are now considering whether to cut ties with riyadh to go hang reports from washington. this is the university of new haven in the state of connecticut not the most scenic campus or the most well known but it is now drawing nationwide media attention for its relationship to saudi arabia it has a partnership to t

walked into his country's consulate in istanbul never to be seen again his death remains a mystery but turkey has revealed more details about what it believes happened investigators say he was strangled as soon as he entered the building and his body dismembered what it took a senior official has told al jazeera that the corpse was dissolved in acid and that the saudi hit squad that kill him has carried out similar operations before the turkish president. is convinced the order to kill him came from the highest levels of the saudi government but he does not believe that king solomon ordered the hit island fish as more from istanbul. president takes a stride in some would say aggressive tone in this opinion piece he's written for the washington post he says that saudi arabia has three key questions to answer first of all where is the body of jamal khashoggi secondly who is the so-called local cooperative who helped the saudis dispose of the body and thirdly who ordered the hit as he calls it on jamal khashoggi now he says he's sure that king solomon was not involved in the operation but

how they come to that in istanbul and the disappearance and we believe the torture and the killing of a significant saudi critical voice so why is it so complicated why is that is that is that is the turkish authorities not prepared to lay everything out on the line i don't think it's about that i think it's about the fact that you know something as simple as where the body is not known at the moment and the answer is in riyadh and at this point not to turkish i mean turkish turkish side turkey has been delivering the information should international community as it as it becomes available turkey has kept a matter of life. has turned this into an international. issue you know to put pressure on riyadh to sort out there is answers you know i mean the simple things as well as board the body is the answer is in riyadh away now among those a fifteen or eighteen people who are detained it is complicated because we're not able to get answers from those people. and it is riyadh that is keeping this information away from the issue national community it is complicated because it was you know i

in the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul saying this is now a legal case and it should not be politicized that's after the public prosecutor said it would seek the death penalty for five suspects odds are bad also said that there are still an answered questions and ankara has refused three requests from riyadh to provide proof of their accounts off the killing so that is a little bit of a bit of i have to say just a few moments ago and when asked about the lead to a possible involvement of the crown prince in the killing. said the crown prince has absolutely nothing to do with the murder case let's bring in jim he has followed this story for us since it broke in october he is joining us from istanbul he seemed to come out very defiant. indeed essentially it's the one the one kind of three these they are the denial deflection i'm doubling down on the position of saudi arabia that's the approach that's the foreign minister chose to take the nile dot com prince mohammed bin simon had anything to do with it denial that it was something that was ordered by the government or by this stage or th

on this story since it first broke in october he joins us from outside the consulate in istanbul also in small officials in turkey have already said that this is an adequate if the past is any indication what can we anticipate turkey to do going forward. well there's two routes or maybe even three possibly that the turks will pursue based on how they've been dealing with this case since it broke richelle first obviously has been through the constant use of leaks of information over them some other bits of details with regards to the case obviously the actual reportings of the moments that democrats will do what killed those haven't been made public will be if they have been shared with intelligence services from around the world could we possibly be see the targets releasing parts excerpts of it maybe they have other information that they haven't even shared with their counterparts as well that is one possible way forward the second obesity is in times of the pressure they've been putting diplomatically so either through their allies by trying to build some sort of consensus and so fo

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 saudi's 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 of in turkey o

let's go live now to use outside the saudi consulate in istanbul search amount of people there see as credible as idea that the killing could have somehow gone ahead without the top leadership of saudi arabia knowing given that it happened inside the consulate. not so i mean the turks are seeing this latest statements by the prosecutor general's office as moving away from completely lying to as one senior official described to me as coming to admit two hot foods in the sense that they finally admitted that this was a murder operation that they are the ones who conducted it however fail to admit that it was premeditated in the sense that there was never any option or intention to extract such acute they failed to admits that's this was by order of the senior members of the saudi government or royal family most likely crown prince mohammed bin man and they have failed to meet through details with regards to what happened to the remains of. body the foreign minister questioned how on earth it was that this team was assembled in order to extract a monocultural jeep with its being equipped
