expected. it's good to have you with us. he says it for. the killing of sausage on the job. has no admitted that he died and it's. often a fist fight with a name for more than two weeks the saudis had denied he was dead this is a moment that she and the saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen again. his disappearance sparked an international outcry over and over saudi arabia said he'd left the building alive. weeks later they conceded that falls the critical journalist died at their hands of
a hot at the. prosecutor's first investigation into the disappearance of the saudi citizen jamal khashoggi has found a discussion between him and the people he met while he was at the saudi consulate in istanbul led to an argument and scrabble with her charges which cost his death. the statement is a break from two weeks of silence and denial from riyadh even this incriminating evidence mounted days after the shockey and at the consulate turkish officials leaked information that the journalist was killed inside the building. next they released these images purportedly showing a hit squad arriving in istanbul airport shortly before and at the consulate turkish officials also claim the audio recordings proving that construction was tortured and his body in dismembered. even after saudi arabia's latest concessions the journalist body still hasn't been found and it is unclear who ordered kushal
she's killing. we want justice for gemma. we want yammers murders will be punished all they ever want punishment not only for the eighteen men but also for the alterity that gave the orders. saudi arabia now claims it has responded to the killing by sucking senior officials including general ahmed siri a close confidant of mohammad. raising yet more questions about the role of saudi arabia's de facto ruler in the death of the dissident journalist. of amman there's a we're joined by another. debate another plank so much for coming in first of all that how credible is it that these officials acted without any instruction from. i don't think it's very credible because as we heard in the report that a cd is a very close friend or close advisor of hama denson and the crown prince was
actually did decide to king or the defacto ruler of saudi arabia and the other official qahtani he's also very close advisor to the royal family so for me it seems like the royal family the saudi. government mohamed vinson and his father king so man were searching for maybe you would say scapegoat to find a solution that they have been denying fourteen days long that jamal khashoggi has been killed or is even dead and now they have the problem to explain how he died and the thing that he died in hell yeah and in the fight in a fistfight is not really credible as well is that how it's being viewed in the wider arab world as well i've been looking at social media and what friends and family and people saying about this last statement from
a saudi officials that he jamal khashoggi died in a fistfight and everybody is joking about it actually people are being cynical about it they say how can somebody die in assists fight in in an embassy or consulate or the studio rabia with fifteen other people i mean what do these. fifteen other people do in the in the embassy and what is their role and what happened in the first place with his body why don't we know that so there is a lot of criticism and it seems that people are saying so to rebias trying to explain what's happened but they just making everything worse. jamal khashoggi be remembered but. in the region and the wider world well we have to know that he wasn't really a dissident or wasn't always a dissident he was close to the royal family. in the past and he was he knew. or move quite a lot of other family in the he was
a well known journalist in saudi arabia but after mohamed bin son came to power after his father king someone came to power. i think he had some some kind of conflict with the royal family and he saw that so rabiah is moving in a direction that is not going to be good in his in in his. opinion it was a crackdown of massive crackdown on the opposition on freedom of speech and on journalists so i think he will be remembered now after we know what's happened to him as an icon of freedom of speech in saudi arabia in their board as general general another loves. thanks very much for that. some of the other stories making news around the world hundreds of markland so faced off against right police on a bridge crossing the mexican got a modern hold up some people jumped into the water along the border to escape they are part of a brutal thousands of set off from honduras last weekend and
