According to the chief prosecutor in istanbul, the reason they issued these arrest warrants, they say great suspicion those two were involved in the planning of the events that took place here at the building behind me at the saudi consulate here in istanbul back in october. This is coming after the saudis back in october saying these two individuals were fired from their positions and they announced several other measures against the Senior Adviser, including a travel ban. The feeling among turkish officials is no real meaningful action is taken by the saudis and in the words of the senior turkish official telling cnn this move by the chief prosecutor was quote reflective of the view the saudis will not take formal action against those individuals. We heard this repeated call again from turkish officials for the extradition of the suspects held in saudi arabia. Saying no real process will be taking place there.

Reporter what they tell us is kim jongun is doing exactly what he said he would do on new years day of this year. He would mass produce nukes and bolster the nuclear program. He is not in violation of the agreement with the United States or south korea by expanding these missile sites. We are talking about one site which has been known to the u. S. Intelligence. The missile base and the new unreported site seven miles an wach miles away. This could be equipped with Nuclear Warheads to target the u. S. You have long narrow valleys and tunnels to hide the missile launchers. It is obviously a site which is concerning to the United States. The work began in 2017 at the height of tensions. You know, after singapore, two months after singapore, the work was continuing at the missile bases. If you think about it from kim jonguns perspective, why stop the work if there is no agreement with the United States . Especially when they are pushing hard on the sanctions issue and the members of the Trump Administration like john bolton saying north korea is not living up to the agreement.
