Going to them is blaming some intelligence members for this matter will satisfy neither us nor the international community. The conscience of humanity will only be satisfied once everybody is called to account from those who gave the orders to those who carried them out. My analyser. His speech echoed calls from europe and the u. S. Calls for saudi arabia to tell the full story. Lets take this now to is jim ball our correspondent uli hoeness on the story for us this evening good evening to you uli i mean after two weeks of leaks to the media we finally received an official statement about the show his death from the turkish president today mr ever one that he had promised the naked truth about the murder did he keep his promise. No bryant unfortunately the naked truth is not what we got from president out on today although his statements are the most detailed accusations made in public by ankara so far and by saying i quote him here directly this was. A premeditated political murder he clearly contradicted the saudi narrative of a deadly fistfight or some kind of rogue operation gone wrong miss out on basically summarize the results of the investigation so far he added a few more details he said a team of fifteen men had begun to arrive in istanbul here in the city a day before mr the sheltie disappeared and three of them scouted locations a forest here in istanbul in a city nearby as a possible sites to get rid of the body these locations have later been searched by turkish investigators who are of course looking for missed official g. s a body missed out on also called on saudi arabia to extradite as you mentioned the suspects in this crime a so they can be trial he in turkey but in the end he stopped short of directly accusing riyadh and specially crown prince had been some on of being behind this murder and he did also not answer some of the very crucial questions here for example how was he killed or what about the ordeal recordings of his murder that purportedly exist what about all these gruesome details of him being tortured his body dismembered it miss out on did not say any words about this. As you said he did not. Directly. Although he said. Killing was a prima. So what do you think president is trying to. Well yes youre right he did not mention the m. B. A. s as hes often cold been sound man with a single word but he also said that those responsible have to be held accountable no matter of their ranks from the highest to the lowest level and this was here interpreted as mr atta and you know giving a side blow to m. B. As serious suggesting that he indeed is behind this but he did not get much more clearer than that you have to understand for present out on this is a very delicate matter its a balancing act between the him basically promising to get to the bottom of it and the world of course waiting for this and on the other hand all the Regional Power dynamics at play here the tens relations between turkey and saudi arabia missed out a knows he cant break off ties completely with the saudis economically and financially some analysts have suggested he might be looking for a deal with the saudis in exchange for him taking a softer stance here that in his people have been denying such claims about the strategy on the turkish side here by the turkish government in the last weeks clearly has been to leak bits and pieces of information to local and International Media and to slowly increase pressure on the saudis on the u. S. Possibly as well as the most Important International backer of the kingdom here in the region you know to come forward with a credible explanation of what happened the turks dont want to be the ones in the end you know to say this is what happened they really want to force the saudis to come up with an explanation. But we do want to throw in that the u. S. President today did say that turkish president had been too hard on the. Cover up had been the worst in history a correspondent in istanbul. Thank you. Well it is a showdown over money and creating new debt the European Commission formally rejected today italys twenty one thousand budget due to breaching e. U. Budget rules and this is the first time the European Commission has taken such a dramatic drastic step having avoided sanctioning both france and germany in the past when they breached the same rules the decision means that under the excess deficit procedure rome will be given another three weeks to reconsider and revise its Spending Plans at more than two trillion euros italys National Debt is the highest in the European Union now that is one hundred and three percent of Gross Domestic Product there are fears that any increase could unleash another euro crisis italys says that it is willing to talk but it says the economy needs a boost so he plans to stick to that project of tripling public spending next year. Italys leaders may be somewhat surprised at the hardline but now Prime Minister and his two deputies have three weeks to reconsider their budget plans for next year its a decisive moment for one of europes largest economies and the populist governments next moves could resonate globally italy has also become a polarized country and not everyone backs the government. But italy is part of europe so it has to follow certain rules rules that have saved us up till now. I think we need to carry on like that theyre right. Its clear that the government are going to take this situation forward we need to be sure were Strong Enough to keep up this stance this is. Required to have a Budget Approved is clearly quite tough but to be held to task over your choices when you are a member of a union of countries is understandable simple principal. Deputy Prime Minister mathias salvini doesnt think so during a visit to romania he said theres no going back on the budget ramping up the rhetoric he accused the e. U. Of attacking not a government but an entire nation. For earlier we asked our correspondent in brussels max hoff ben what could happen next in helmand defiant does he think the italians might yet become. Its hard to predict with this government weve never had a populist government of this nature in a big country in the euro zone so predictions like i said are very hard and whats coming out of rome or in this case out of bucharest from the head of the right wing populist league on nort isnt very encouraging he made it very clear theyre not going to change a thing of course hes not the finance minister and then you have a thing called the spread now the spread bear with me a little complicated is the difference between what italy has to pay for its debt and what germany has to pay for its debt obviously german debt can be acquired much cheaper or the germans have to pay less to to borrow money and you have to pay much more because there is a greater risk involved so the higher the spread the more the italians have to pay and its no surprise that with this new government the spread has gone up continuously and experts expect this to continue now even more that they have rejected what the e. U. Commission is proposing and so its something that the rising spread the rising cost for italy to refinance its debt might make them think twice in the next weeks. To africa eritrea and ethiopia recently signed a Peace Agreement it followed years of conflict you know eritrea remains one of africas most oppressive regimes it doesnt have a free press there is no political opposition in the country our correspondent adrian increase got a rare look inside the country and he was able to ask people in eritrea about their hopes for the countrys future. The eritrean capital asmara. A city of tidy streets and welcoming cafes dotted with impressive architecture. There are mistake of all signs of the countrys economic woes and yet ever since the peace deal with neighboring ethiopia and as mara hope is in the year. This peace we did bring spatially a retread to. Concentrate on are there issues like. Ments enable the sector ugly destruction is i mean there with their peace comes. Getting bitter over the left and there will be. Only includes my education not on me. So im going to have domestic you know. It was the. To be improving. The war took a heavy toll here in two years of conflict from one nine hundred ninety eight almost a hundred thousand people were killed to this day eritrea has Compulsory National Service a mix of military training and Development Work with no time limit Human Rights Watch says thats one reason why twelve percent of the population has fled the country which is one of the poorest in the world. The Peace Agreement brings a completely new situation for the government of every trail up until now the entire policy of the country was based on the danger of yes another war and one president is saying he is a former Freedom Fighter hes ruled the country since independence twenty seven years ago he presents himself as a modest man opposed to corrupt politicians but hes been accused of Human Rights Violations his country has never held elections has no constitution no. Official budget and zero press freedom will peace bring reform the information minister is cautious very difficult to talk about concrete just add this to you can only say that ok this is its a new situation and whatever was conceptions of the war would have to be the basis of a clear view of the government something thats a position from a situation of almost continuous war two and this is traditional peace and. This is the waiting is something eritreas Political Prisoners have plenty of experience with the journalists has spent the last seventeen years in jail his niece Vanessa Batson lives in london and is fighting for his release. Every chance if you look at what the government has said for the past seventy years they have been talking about this situation there too as an excuse for the status quo and obviously if the you know the excuse is gone there is space optimism because that means that the excuse is the thing thats been holding the corrupt country together in terms of its apparent ship has fallen apart which is cause for optimism but if you look at the actual effect situation nothing has changed which means that realistically one month two months three months after the peace being declared its always optimistic and more on a recent article. On the streets of asmara no one is prepared to speak on camera against the government but privately many here say theyre desperate for change. When nothing big happens in china with the communist partys blessing and that includes big bridges or china has opened the longest sea bridge in the world its a fifty five kilometer long link between Mainland China macau and hong kong and it reduces travel time from three hours to just thirty minutes and engineering prestige project that some say was never really needed except for those in beijing who want tighter grips on hong kong. The mega structure crossing the pearl river delta links Mainland China to an Economic Zone that is already one of the most dynamic in the world. It will cut the commute to and from hong kong from four hours to one. I declare the hong kong macau bridge open for chinese president xi jinping officially opening the bridge two years behind schedule the structure includes a seven kilometer long underwater tunnel and was built to withstand earthquakes typhoons and collisions with ships but the project is not without its critics especially in hong kong some point to the project going fifteen billion euros over budget while the territory has a deficit of Affordable Housing for others it symbolizes beijings ambitions to further integrate hong kong and to china and erode the citys autonomy and freedoms if not exactly necessary because hong kong is connected to Mainland China in every way already by land by by sea the pearl river delta Economic Zone comprises eleven cities which now have hopes of a tourism boom similar to that enjoyed by casino mark how the mega bridge opens to traffic on wednesday complete with passport controls the number of vehicles using it will initially be restricted leaving many locals having to take a bus to cross it. No one will plays on the radio we need to get experiments. I was that. We go that high a bug only i only dogs it when they try. How many more galileos do you want me. We dont. Know everyone around the world watching that is going to have that in their heads and i gotta layo but what youre looking at was a scene from what he had rap and its a new film about Freddie Mercury and queen which premiered tonight in london our culture insider Robin Merrill is here at the big table to talk about the new film robin i didnt know this youre a big fan of queen.
