storms the last every year for the last three years in the past you would go to a Grocery Store and there would be nothing gas stations with bags over the pumps so i certainly think its a promising sign that we do have supplies here in the area in terms of preparation i think people are taking this storm seriously just because weve had this threat before in years past to have in our Coverage Area with a few counties that have been told to that you wait for example or call it out in Franklin County and most of those that some of those counties had shuttles that brought people to leon county into tallahassee so weve seen those people come into the area of hotels or go past the hotel the parking lot is full so i think people are taking this seriously theyre coming inland toward tallahassee because we are not around any bodies of water that should be affected by the storm so were seeing the influx of people here all right want to talk now about some of the other stories making news Around The World. Bugg area says a man has been arrested in germany in connection with the killing of ball garion
television journalist Victoria Marin over a reporter was found dead in a park in the northern Ball Garion City Of Roosts on saturday no one was investigating allegations of fraud linked to e. U. Funding at the time of her death the motive for the killing is still unclear. Hundreds of people have marched in a Gay Pride Parade in kos of those capital city prishtina it was the second year in a Row Activists organized the event costs of those the parliament passed an anti Discrimination Law Back in Two Thousand And Four but activists say antigay sentiment is still common in this mainly muslim country. Well to a turkey now where the media have published c. C. T. V. Footage of an alleged Saudi Arabian hit squad suspected of involvement in the disappearance of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi he. Has not been seen
since he entered the saudi consulate eight days ago other foot it shows what Turkish Security services say is a fifteen member saudi Intelligence Team arriving in istanbul one day before he disappeared from the consulate because shogi was considered a dissidents who were critical articles or publications including the Washington Post the u. S. Says its ready to assist the investigation into his disappearance if asked. And two are talk more about the developments behind the disappearance of Washington Post columnist democracy i want to turn now to dorian jones who is in istanbul for us dorian The Plot Thickens with a series of new revelations but still no hard evidence or final confirmation as to what happened to mr. Yeah thats right the investigators all focusing all their efforts on. These two black fans of the long to the saudi consulate those vans to this party at the consulate in late afternoon
of the day of disappearance there are reports of possible images of the existing saudi officials carrying large boxes into one of the vans with the suggestion the car show these dismembered body could be in those boxes one of the vans then left in a convoy of six cars where they actually went to still trying to find out attention is also focusing on the arrival of this alleged fifteen member saudi team that arrived on the day of disappearance and then left the same day also were hearing that officials who were working in the consulate but they were told to leave early for an unannounced holiday and also security for the church is still appears to have disappeared along to the saudi consulate and we are getting reports from the u. S. Newspaper Washington Post citing sources that u. S. Intelligence officials claim that they possibly intercepted communications with saudi officials discussing the capture of cole shogi has to be said though riyadh
is denying any responsibility for disappearance so we still dont know what happened on that fateful day can you tell us a little bit more about what we do know about the footage thats been released of this supposed that team of saudi agents who allegedly were sent by our yacht to target. Facials have identified they say most of this fifteen Member Team Images of them have now been all across turkish media theyve understand that they have identified some of the professions they say some of them work for Saudi Special forces theres even they say one member was a forensic skills now those who jaish and he could have been used for the dismembering of. This is something that is strongly denied by riyadh but they. Do believe they are building up a picture of who they believe is responsible for his disappearance and possible murder. A very grisly a possible detail there that you reference dorrian how shaky are turkish saudi
relations at this moment. Things are really very bad between turkey and saudi arabia for a myriad of reasons but turkey is in a difficult position that saudi arabia is a Key Trading Partner for turkey and at the same time turkey is pretty isolated from the rest of the middle east at the moment so turkey will be looking for support internationally for any showdown. Over its appearance and the offer of support from washington will be welcomed and i think well be looking to europe as well during jos so reporting from istanbul on the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi thank you. Now more than fifty countries Around The World impose the Death Penalty human Rights Groups say those condemned to death are often subjected to dehumanizing treatment and isolation some are even tortured and today on the sixteenth world day against the Death Penalty well look at what conditions
some convicts face in their final days. Carried dean all the sixteenth person to be executed in the u. S. This year his death by Lethal Injection was recorded and meticulous detail he turned his head left and mouth several words to piers a number of witnesses including the words i love you he said that ten twenty five am. At Ten Twenty Seven am he started breathing heavily and then at ten thirty nine and twelve seconds the curtain went down possibly into the process took about fifteen minutes total. Kerry dean more had been sentenced to death as a twenty two year old for the murder of two taxi drivers he spent thirty eight years in prison awaiting his execution which was pushed off seven times there are currently more than Two Thousand Seven Hundred inmates on death row in
the u. S. They typically spent more than a decade in prison before they are executed. During this time theyre generally isolated from other prisoners excluded from Prison Programs and restricted in terms of visitation and Exercise Spending as many as twenty three hours a day alone in this cells. The United States is the only western country to still uphold the Death Penalty last year twenty three people were executed. But Execution Numbers in the u. S. Are declining and they pale in comparison to some other countries in the world among the fifty six countries who still have the Death Penalty and use it iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan top the table. But the country with by far the most executions is china. Chinese authorities dont release any figures regarding the
Death Penalty. Or Television Images like these of a former police chief being sentenced to death for murder and bribery last year are extremely rare if you think weve been through most trials happen Behind Closed Doors and chinese authorities maintain almost total secrecy over the number of people sentenced to death Amnesty International estimates that the number of Death Penalties in china is in the thousands. That would mean that china executed more people last year than all the countries in the world put together. In contrast to the us the time a prisoner spends in jail before their execution is often only a few months. But conditions for Death Row Prisoners are often inhumane. A shackled to the wall and tortured Amnesty International has also cited reports of prisoners being executed without being able to say goodbye to their families.
