Our correspondent dorian jones he is on the story for us tonight in istanbul good evening to you dorian lets start with the whereabouts of the syrian or the saudi rather console can we confirm that he has fled the country tonight dorian and do we know what investigators are looking for inside his residence. Well turkish media have confirmed he has left the country where hes actually fled
or has just been recalled by riyadh is still unclear but the. Saudi consul is becoming the focal point of this investigation to sources linked to the investigation have again been briefing International Media tonight and theyve been directly linking the console to the death of. They say that the saudi journalist was beaten and interrogated in the. Main office at the consulate in the president of the Consul General and then he was subsequently murdered and his body then was dismembered in the in the office of the Consul General in itself and these these forces coming from turkish sources are saying they have to back their claims although it has to be said this is an anonymous source and riyadh is growing in involvement but it does appear that turkeys attention the investigators are focusing on the consul and now his residence possibly looking for the remains of the body which is believed to have been dismembered and we confirmed. They are
looking for the remains of the journalist body. Those remains the chopped up remains may actually be inside the consuls residence. Well i mean there are a lot of unknowns about this and its a pretty dreadful in my car story but i mean theres been so many sources been Anonymous Sources from the turkish investigation they have been pointing to the fact that they believe that one possible scenario is that after the body was dismembered it was dissolved in caustic soda that was one scenario thats been put forward and in fact the president speaking today said they were looking at toxic substances that were found at the saudi consulate possible indication that they are following that possibly may not be anything left theres also talk that they even sewers have been examined underneath the consulate and the saudi residence to look for the possible remains of the body it is a truly Dreadful Mccullagh story and theres a lot of people concerned that they may never even find any remains of this saudi
journalist the u. S. President dont trump form saying again that the saudi king and the crown prince saying that they know nothing about what happened inside the consuls residence in is still on board at the same time the u. S. Secretary of state mike pumping he is due to travel to turkey tomorrow after meeting with the soul of the team do we know what role he could play in this tragic story in this dark investigation. Well its very difficult to say in the very little has been said of secretary of state. Meetings with the saudi king and the crown prince other than saying that they are both committed to a transparent investigation there is growing speculation that the possible creation of a way out a diplomatic out for riyadh is being created these ongoing reports from the American Media that riyadh at some point will acknowledge their responsibility in
the deaths saying it was a botched interrogation carried out possibly by rogue agent president has a loose elucidated to that scenario and interestingly also advises linked to the turkish president for several days to have said that this is a possibility its all indicates a possibly visit to will be part of the Diplomatic Corps Graphy to create a diplomatic riyad what price what price riyadh will have to pay for that remains to be seen and whether they will take that opportunity. Or corresponded dorian jones on the story for us tonight is jim thank you. For more on the International Pressure that is facing saudi arabia tonight im joined by Daniel Berlant he is an expert on the middle east good to see you again what should we make in your opinion of the Solti Consuls sudden departure from turkey. Well certainly the consul enjoys Diplomatic Immunity but you dont know in which direction the the the mood the general atmosphere is going to swing in turkey. Would he have to cooperate would he have to provide information it is also possible that he was not involved in the plan if it was if its really true that this was a Hit Team Up Aeration Role could team up aeration then a very limited number of people were involved in all the details of this but certainly Something Like this if it was an operation that when saw that when wrong well it was intended it was intended to kill in that manner which i doubt it was intended but its not im not it would not impossible the top Government Officials those that are in charge of the Security Operations in the country notably the crown prince himself would have been involved at least would have had knowledge and would have authorized it then why do you do the intention was to murder the journalist well i would say that id i have no you know i have no im not a forensic expert i dont know the details on the ground there are certain theories even Conspiracy Theories about the disappearance of. I think if you assemble the
facts that have been leaked so far this Thirtieth Orders have not given the evidence yet then you could also find realistic that they try to rent to to organize of Indignation Of Forcible Dition which means that they would basically kidnap him and take him to saudi arabia they have done this a couple of times with people they consider traitors we have to look at also other operations that when the terribly wrong operations of the of the Israeli Intelligence service of the russians that have been revealed prematurely all these things happen in these operations so i cannot tell you what exactly happened one thing is for sure we often say nobody can be that utterly stupid to conduct such an operation in its own consulate general but whenever these intelligence officials gather and they plot such a plan given that. This is the way it happened everything is possible and so it is possible to we know that International Pressure is mounting on the soul to kingdom
its coming from former allies in current allies i want you to take a listen to what the us senator Lindsey Graham said just a few hours ago. And ive been their biggest offender on the floor of the United States senate this guy is a Wrecking Ball he had this guy murdered in a consulate in turkey in to expect me to ignore and feel used and abused i was on the floor every time defending saudi arabia because theres a good ally theres a difference between a country and an individual the n. B. S. Figure is to me toxic he can never be a world leader on the world stage what is the president doing thanks as up to the president but what i would do i know what im going to do and sanction the hell out of saudi arabia. I mean those strong words there the m. B. s that he mentioned that is the sole prints do you anticipate the u. S. And the European Union slapping saudi arabia with sanctions and what about the future for the crown prince. Well thats certainly
a bold statement from senator graham. Given the fact that the Republican Party has been also the democrats but but in particular the Program Holik and party have been very strong supporters of this say like very unique lateral decision of the trump misfortune to side with saudi arabia to put all their all the investment of the Political Capital into saudi arabia against iran and and against other players in the region so this is a bold statement and it puts the trump of mr ation into a very embarrassing situation of course because trump has said earlier he would not jeopardize hundreds of billions of dollars the an arms sales for this case but i think what people have underestimated is the role that shows you played in the u. S. Media and the importance that this person had because he was the go to person he was mr saudi arabia in the United States very difficult to understand and people went to him and so certainly he has a strong supporters in the u. S. Media and in the Public Opinion do you know youre like its always good to talk with you we appreciate your insights tonight thank you thank you for you know a different case german journalist. And her husband face charges related to terrorism in turkey they were among Tens Of Thousands of people detained after turkeys failed coup attempt back in Two Thousand And Sixteen after spending seven months in a turkish prison Michel Martelly was allowed to return to germany but her husband was no today the court had A Change Of Heart and lifted his travel ban to. Michelle a tolu was relieved following the Court Proceeding the judge lifted the travel ban that prevented her husband from leaving the country she had come to turkey to advocate for him now the couple can travel to germany and be together with their three year old son gets to my country now we can be safely together again in
germany for the first time and we might be able to process this two year ordeal as a family and strike out on a new path. Its knowing. This Legal Process has been going on for more than one and a half years we were both in pretrial custody for eight months being allowed to travel outside the country is long overdue but the couple could face up to fifteen years in jail the proceedings will continue in january the two are accused of being members of a terrorist organization but observers are skeptical. Finished and put first all but all together the prosecution lacks any constitutional basis this relaxing of constraints is not an indication of due process. The german Consul General was on hand to congratulate them but michelle a total who has not yet decided whether she will return for the next round of judicial proceedings. Well joining me tonight here at the big table is so he always
been homu she is with the European Center for press and Media Freedom so its good to have you on the show you know were were used to hearing about this as criticism of turkey a media does have more journalists in prison in the world even more than china but what about journal was here in europe i mean how dangerous has the situation become for people who are out in the field trying to you know do what we do every day where do you want me to start the more you know yes it is unfortunately for the first time. Here it is also becoming a dangerous territory for most of the investigative journalists. As we have saying. Stuff the koran of alexander were going to talk about youre going to tell you whos a young coach. Theres a lot of different kinds of pressures from investigating corruption which means you
are whats changed. Whats changed i would. Put it to call will needs to be there to protect journalists and to me are you seeing a absence of the will or a decrease of them. I want to talk about this case in charlotte over the german journalist in turkey. What influence does germany have in a case like this in speaking of political will what can germany do to help one of its journalists. They definitely can put pressure. The cases ive i mean the most popular one was of course then mr chow who was very lucky to be working for. Which is
a very very powerful public. So that was helping to. But of course. Talking meet germany has germany starkey but politics also gets in the way we know that there have been reports that the turkish president richard tell your bear to one that he is following a policy of. Holding german turkish journalists almost as hostages and using them as leverage to get you to what he wants out of the European Union or the germany i mean are you hearing those accusations i mean is that something thats on your radar when youre talking about the risks to european journalists i think its definitely power games played. As always i think various sides thats also i think for an terry of politics important to
show power but of course yes i would call them hostages too like that ok so we stand by because theres a lot more to talk about we want to go now to this question about that One Million Euro reward for information on who ordered the murder of malta is best known journalist will that money is Still Available one year ago Daphne Corona was killed in a Car Bomb Attack the murder Three Hundred Sixty Five days ago shocked europe today it was marked by a vigil at the site where she was killed in a car bombing back in december Police Charged three men with believe she is murder but critics believe the people who ordered that attack are still at large and that they are being protected w. s Melanie Curable reports tonight from old.
