Theresa May Tries to Salvage Brexit Deal in Brussels

Theresa May is ending the worst week of her political life in the place where she now looks more comfortable than Westminster.

This is her second visit to Brussels in three days and now that she has clung on to her job she came hoping to get her deal across the line in Parliament.

Her fellow EU leaders were long on admiration for her tenacity but came short on the kind of concessions that could save her deal and perhaps her government.

Will Trump Change His Mind on Khashoggi Killing? l Inside Story

Six senior US senators from across party lines have introduced a resolution holding the Saudi Crown Prince personally accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

It directly contradicts statements from President Donald Trump who has insisted repeatedly there is no definitive evidence connecting Mohammed bin Salman with the crime.

But will the senators force Trump to drop his defence of the Saudi royal?

The resolution also criticises Saudi Arabia for the war in Yemen, the blockade of Qatar, and a crackdown on dissent in the Kingdom. It's a testing time for the US president.

Can Macron Survive the Biggest Challenge to His Presidency? l Inside Story

The Arc de Triomphe daubed with graffiti. The Champs Elysée cloaked in clouds of tear gas. It's becoming a familiar story in Paris. The famous sights of the French capital turned into a battle ground for the third successive weekend.

‘Yellow Vest’ protesters again venting their fury at the rising price of keeping their cars on the road; and increasing calls for President Emmanuel Macron to resign.

Facing the biggest challenge to his 18 month presidency, he flew home from the G20 summit in Argentina for an emergency government meeting.

It's not just next month’s proposed fuel tax rise which is infuriating many, falling living standards are too; so, how can Macron calm the rising anger?

Does Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) Care about New Khashoggi Revelations? l Inside Story

’The Wall Street Journal’ says the Saudi Crown Prince was in contact with the team that killed Jamal Khashoggi.

The CIA has reportedly concluded the order to kill Jamal Khashoggi was given by Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

‘The Wall Street Journal’ says its obtained details of the highly classified CIA document. The newspaper says bin Salman sent at least 11 messages to his closest adviser, Saud al-Qahtani.

He reportedly supervised the so-called 'hit' team.

The CIA says al-Qahtani was in direct communication with the team’s leader in Istanbul - in the hours before and after the journalist was murdered.

The Saudi team was reportedly assembled from the Crown Prince's top security men in the Royal Guard.

The judgment on Bin Salman's likely culpability is based on the prince’s personal focus on Khashoggi who had criticised him - as well as the Prince authorising the same team to target other opponents.

The Saudi leader is reported to have told associates in August last year that if efforts failed to persuade Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia, he would be lured somewhere else.

Do the latest revelations make any difference because bin Salman continues to enjoy Donald Trump's support?

US Senators have sent a strong message to the White House – they will hold Saudi Arabia to account over its rôle in the war in Yemen and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The Senate has voted to hold hearings next week on whether to end US involvement in the 3-year old conflict. That's despite strong opposition from the Trump administration, which sent the Secretaries of State and Defense to persuade Senators to vote against the measure.

Should Saudi Crown Prince Be Charged with War Crimes? G20 Host, Argentina, Considers Probe

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman could face prosecution in Argentina for alleged complicity in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Saudi-led humanitarian crisis in Yemen. On Wednesday, an Argentine prosecutor reportedly accepted a request by Human Rights Watch to prosecute the crown prince, just hours after he landed in Argentina ahead of the G20 summit. Argentina recognizes universal jurisdiction for war crimes and torture, which means it is able to press charges against the crown prince while he is in the country. We speak with Reed Brody, counsel and spokesperson for Human Rights Watch, and Shireen Al-Adeimi, Yemeni scholar, activist, and an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University.

Despite Tension between Iran and Israel, Iran’s Jewish Minority Feels At Home

Can Turkey Trigger International Probe into Khashoggi's Murder? l Inside Story

It's been nearly two months since journalist Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. His murder at the hands of a 15-member hit squad has put Saudi Arabia under an international spotlight. Its embattled Crown Prince, who's been accused of ordering the killing, is on a tour of regional countries before he heads to Argentina for the G-20 Summit.

But Turkey wants to make sure the case does not disappear from the world's attention. Its investigators launched a search of two villas outside Istanbul on Monday. They say they're owned by a Saudi businessman close to the Crown Prince. But will this make any difference? And Can Turkey successfully push for an international investigation?

Will Macron Bow to the Demands of 'Yellow Vest' Protesters? l Inside Story

French fuel tax protesters again vent their anger against President Emmanuel Macron.

Emmanuel Macron was elected last year on presidential pledges to create more jobs and improve lives. But for many French people, his economic reforms are a disaster. Critics accuse him of being a president for the rich - while hurting the poor.

One of his reforms is causing particular outrage - fuel tax. So-called 'Yellow Vest' protesters in Paris blocked roads for a second successive Saturday to tell Macron they've had enough. And his environmentally-friendly tax on diesel aimed at cutting pollution has to go - and so does he.

So, will he change his controversial policies?

A Royal Family, Episode 1: The Father-in-law of Europe | Documentary

At the end of the 1800s, the Danish King, Christian IX and his wife, Queen Louise, married their six children into the dominating European royal families and Christian IX became known as "Europe's Father-In-Law". Today, his descendants are to be found all over Europe.

These are their stories, stories of power, love, triumph, tragedy and honour, recounted through interviews and never before published letters, photographs and home movie footage, by over 30 members of the European royal family.

Anecdotes handed down through generations give insight into a Europe ruled by 'dynasty politics' where arranged marriages created alliances between countries.

In the Europe of the 1800s, Denmark, England, and Russia each have a childless king; all three need an heir to the throne. Speedily arranged marriages, births, and cunning strategies bring King Christian IX, Queen Victoria and Tsar Alexander II to the throne.

Trump Chooses “Relationship with Saudi Arabia” over Accountability for Jamal Khashoggi’s Murder

Despite overwhelming evidence that Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated at the order of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump stood by Saudi Arabia Tuesday in an extraordinary written statement riddled with exclamation points and subtitled “America First,” writing, “It could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event — maybe he did and maybe he didn’t! That being said, we may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Trump’s statement came even after The Washington Post reported last Friday that the CIA has “high confidence” that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Saudi officials have tried to dismiss Khashoggi’s death as a rare, unauthorized killing, but a recent New York Times report suggests the kingdom has sought out private companies to assassinate perceived enemies since the beginning of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s rule. We speak with the Israeli investigative reporter who helped break the story, Ronen Bergman, author of “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations.” Ronen Bergman is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and the senior national security correspondent for Yedioth Ahronoth. His piece in The New York Times is titled “Saudis Close to Crown Prince Discussed Killing Other Enemies a Year Before Khashoggi’s Death.”

How Far Can Trump Shield Bin Salman? l Inside Story

The US President admits Mohammed bin Salman may have known about the plan to murder journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The CIA says the Crown Prince actually ordered it. But Trump’s contradicted his intelligence agency saying that’s not a definitive determination; and in any case he says it would be foolish to take action against Riyadh. That would threaten lucrative weapons deals and push the price of oil up. Very simple, said Trump, It’s America First.

But it might not be that simple – all eyes are now on the US Congress to see what it will do. So, America First? Or justice last?

While the prosecutor's office did not give names, General Ahmed al-Asiri, who was fired as deputy head of intelligence in the wake of the killing, has been implicated.

Who Is “The Boss” in Phone Call after Khashoggi’s Murder? l Inside Story

US intelligence officials believe a phone message to “tell your boss” after journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered was a reference to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Turkish intelligence believe Mutreb was speaking to one of the prince’s aides, and also used words to the effect that "the deed was done." But officials in Ankara say the audio does not conclusively implicate Mohammed bin Salman.

Does Europe Need Its Own Army? l Inside Story

French president Emmanuel Macron has suggested creating a European army.

French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump have been at odds on many issues. This week that divide went further when President Macron appeared to call for the creation of a European army. Macron says Europe needs to defend itself against potential threats from nations including Russia, China and even the United States.

But it's not just about defence - the two leaders differ on almost every issue. Trump has pulled out of a number of global treaties from climate change to the Iran nuclear deal, and recently the disarmament treaty with Russia.

While Macron has repeatedly emphasised the need for a global order and rejection of nationalism. He made the call during Sunday's remembrance ceremony in Paris to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

But can Europe do without the US in matters of defence?

Will Saudi Arabia Ever Reveal Who Ordered the Killing of Jamal Khashoggi? l Inside Story

The Turkish president has shared with several world leaders audio recording of the moment journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to put the pressure on Saudi Arabia to reveal who ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Erdogan says his country has shared audio recordings of Khashoggi's last moments with the US, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The leaders of those countries are in France to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

Erdogan discussed the issue with US president Donald Trump on Saturday in Paris and also met French president Emmanuel Macron and agreed on a number of issues related to the Khashoggi case. They said Saudi Arabia needs to 'shed more light' on the murder and the case should not destabilise the region.

Erdogan has previously said he believes the order to kill the journalist came from the highest levels of the Saudi government. So, will Riyadh budge?

Appeal: Could You Help This Genuine Man Out of a Predicament?

This man, Neil, has fallen on difficult times. Clearly, he is an industrious man, but life dealt him a raw deal recently, despite his hard work. If you could help him out of this pickle, he would be so appreciative. You can donate by clicking on this link »

This is his story:

I am a British citizen, living in Greece, under the sprectre of Brexit & until recently working from home as a freelance translator from 5/6 continental European languages into English.

I have lived in over 10 countries, over 4 continents, and consider myself a global citizen.

I became homeless at the end of last week (27 October 2018) as a result of not being able to meet my rent, due to an interruption of my income stream as a result of a lightning strike on Saturday 16. June that laid waste to all my IT equipment while I was in the middle of a commission that was to be delivered on the following Monday. Needless to say, panic ensued in order to complete the assignment, but all the remedial action that I took was not enough to save the project in question, let alone further smooth continuation of work.

Once I had directed my resources to replicating my lost equipment, summer holidays were in full swing and commissions rare on the ground. I struggled on with a replacement second-hand laptop and other new equipment but was unable to restore myself to my previous stability. To further add to my already deleterious conditions, I had taken what I considered a wise proactive measure and ordered a new battery for my phone, in order to extend its deteriorating autonomy. Once I had installed the new battery, the phone would no longer work and all my personal contacts (via Whatsapp) became inaccessible, together with all my usernames/passwords and other functionalities such as the camera to photograph ID documents and e-mail them. To illustrate this new folly, I had an older model wherein I inserted my SIM card and could use it solely for telephonic functions. However, all my contact details were lost and when I wanted to get in touch with a friend on the island, I had to ride to his house and restore contact with him. All my Whatsapp contacts remained inaccessible.

With this in mind, my field of contacts is now limited in scope and accessibility to those that had been fortuitously stored on a cloud in my browser settings - but these are merely professional contacts with clients and my Twitter account.

Having moved my household items to an acquaintance's doorless, cement garage (that also serves as my sleeping quarters), I have "set up office" with my replacement laptop at a friend's shop where he grants me space to use his internet in a hope to arrest the current situation.

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me. With many thanks. Neil

Nacht über Deutschland | Novemberpogrom 1938

Der Schauspieler Günter Lamprecht, bekannt als Franz Biberkopf in "Berlin Alexanderplatz" und "Tatort"-Kommissar, geriet damals selbst unvermittelt in den Strudel der Ereignisse. Und kann es bis heute nicht fassen, was in jenem November 1938 geschah. Als achtjähriger Junge, Sohn eines strammen SA-Manns in Berlin, war er mit dabei, als das Geschäft eines jüdischen Tabakhändlers geplündert wurde.

Nicht ohne beklemmende Gefühle - doch sein Kumpel, die Erwachsenen um ihn, selbst die Polizei, sie alle befürworteten die Übergriffe gegen die jüdische Bevölkerung. Erst mit dem Abstand vieler Jahre realisierte er, in welch verkehrter Welt er damals großgeworden ist.

Lamprecht erläutert und kommentiert diesen Wendepunkt, der vor 75 Jahren den Einbruch der Barbarei in die deutsche Gesellschaft markierte, in ungeschönter Offenheit und zugleich mit ungläubigem Erstaunen darüber, wie einst angesehene Mitbürger nun unbeschränkter Gewalt und Willkür ausgeliefert waren. Auf Geheiß der NS-Führung wurden um den 9. November 1938 an die 400 Deutsche erschossen, erschlagen oder in den Tod getrieben, nur weil sie als Juden gebrandmarkt waren. Unbescholtene jüdische Mitmenschen, auch Frauen, Kinder, Greise, wurden gequält und gedemütigt, 30 000 Männer in Konzentrationslager verfrachtet - oft ohne Wiederkehr. Die staatlich angestifteten Täter verwüsteten 1400 jüdische Gotteshäuser und setzten sie in Brand, demolierten und plünderten 7500 Geschäfte.

Wie war ein derartiger Exzess der Gewalt gegen Mitbewohner, frühere Arbeitskollegen, Nachbarn in einem zivilisierten Land möglich? Was trieb die Täter an, die meist aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft kamen? Wie erlebten die unmittelbar Betroffenen den archaischen Sturm der Erniedrigung und Verfolgung, der kalt-kalkulierend auf die Vertreibung und Enteignung der gesamten jüdischen Bevölkerung in Deutschland zielte?

Die historische Dokumentation beschreibt die Ereignisse aus dem Blickwinkel von Beteiligten und Beobachtern, auf der Seite der Opfer und der Täter. Beklemmende, teils bisher unveröffentlichte Archivaufnahmen vermitteln ein Bild von Gleichgültigkeit und Zustimmung zu den beispiellosen Vorgängen. Spielszenen geben wieder, was Menschen damals erleiden mussten und wie sie in den Sog der Gewalt gerieten.

Neben Günter Lamprecht berichten Georg Stefan Troller, damals in Wien, und Rolf Abrahamsohn, damals in Marl, wie sie die Zeitenwende am eigenen Leib erlebten. Auch Rudolf van Nahl, der an jenem Novembertag mit seinem Sankt-Martins-Lampion vor der lichterloh brennenden Synagoge seines rheinischen Heimatortes Alpen stand, bestätigt in der Rückschau: All das geschah mitten im Leben, im ganzen Land, vor aller Augen. Allen, die ihn erlebten, hat sich der deutsche Schicksalstag in die Erinnerung eingebrannt. Günter Lamprecht hat sich bis heute seine Empörung bewahrt, wann immer simple Parolen und uniformes Verhalten mitmenschliche Empfindungen verdrängen.

Der Untergang des alten Europa - 1. Weltkrieg

Die Dokumentation beschreibt die große Katastrophe des Ersten Weltkrieges aus einem gesamteuropäischen Blickwinkel. Sie zeigt, dass die Stimmungslage und die ungelösten Spannungen vor 1914 in Europa längst auf Krieg deuteten. Das Attentat von Sarajewo war nicht mehr als ein willkommener Anlass, diesen schon lange geplanten Krieg zu beginnen. Vor allem die zur Veränderung unfähigen Monarchien, die sich längst selbst überlebt hatten, in Berlin, Wien und St. Petersburg brauchten ihn. Der Krieg war, wie Historiker sagen, eine Art "Selbstmord aus Angst vor dem Tod".

Der Sommer verspricht schön zu werden. Unter den Linden in Berlin, auf den Champs-Elysées in Paris, vor den Cafés in Wien und St. Petersburg, überall genießen die Menschen die lauen Abende. Am 28. Juni 1914 tickern in allen Pressebüros die Telegrafen: Franz Ferdinand, der Thronfolger der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie, ist in Sarajewo ermordet worden. Fünf Wochen später steht Europa am Rande des Abgrunds. Mit unglaublicher Leichtfertigkeit haben die europäischen Politiker und Monarchen den Mechanismus der gegenseitigen Drohungen, Ultimaten und Mobilmachungen in Gang gesetzt, der den Kontinent in den Untergang führt, in einen Krieg, wie ihn die Menschen zuvor nicht kannten. Die Militärs und Politiker erkennen zwar in letzter Stunde, dass es sich um einen "Sturz ins Ungewisse" handelt, um einen Krieg, den niemand gewinnen kann. Aber "da es nun einmal beschlossen ist, kann es nicht mehr geändert werden" (Chef des Generalstabs Helmuth von Moltke, 1848 - 1916). Am 3. August 1914, als deutsche Truppen bereits das neutrale Belgien überfallen haben, sagt der britische Außenminister Sir Edward Grey: "In diesem Moment gehen in Europa wieder die Lichter aus. Wir alle werden sie in unserem Leben nie wieder leuchten sehen."

Die Bürger Europas, von ihren Kaisern und Präsidenten manipuliert und belogen, begrüßen den Konflikt begeistert als "Stunde des Vaterlandes" oder als "nationale Wiedergeburt". Zehn Millionen Männer werden den "frischen fröhlichen Krieg" mit ihrem Leben bezahlen. Die großen Monarchien in Deutschland, Österreich-Ungarn und Russland brechen 1917/18 zusammen. Dem Krieg folgen mit dem Erstarken von Faschismus und Bolschewismus das "Zeitalter der Extreme", der verdeckte Bürgerkrieg der 20er Jahre und die revanchistischen Ressentiments, die schließlich in den nächsten Weltkrieg führen.

Mit historischem Filmmaterial aus Deutschland, Österreich, Ungarn, Russland, Frankreich, England, Italien und den USA und mit neuesten Forschungsergebnisse stellt die Dokumentation von Werner Biermann den "Untergang des alten Europa" in ihren Kontext.

November-Pogrome 1938: Wie wurden aus Nachbarn Todfeinde?

Im November 1938 kommt es zu brutalen Ausschreitungen gegen Juden in Deutschland. Synagogen werden angezündet, jüdische Mitbürger verfolgt und angegriffen. Doch wie wurden aus Nachbarn Todfeinde?

Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert scheinen Juden in der deutschen Gesellschaft angekommen. Aber mit dem 1933 verstaatlichten Judenhass schwingt die Stimmung in der Bevölkerung um. Juden gelten als Sündenböcke, überall wo Unzufriedenheit herrscht. Der bestehende Neid auf die meist erfolgreichen jüdischen Unternehmer wird genutzt, um gezielt ein Feindbild aufzubauen. Die Nationalsozialisten beginnen zunächst damit polnisch-stämmige Juden nach Polen abzuschieben, wo sie jedoch auch nicht aufgenommen werden. Mit dem Attentat auf einen deutschen Diplomaten will der junge Herschel Grynszpan auf die verzweifelte Lage der jüdischen Familien aufmerksam machen. Doch die Propaganda verfälscht die einsame Verzweiflungstat wirkungsvoll zum Angriff einer angeblichen „jüdischen Weltverschwörung“. Es folgt eine bis dahin unvorstellbare Woge der Zerstörung, Brandstiftung, Plünderung bis hin zum Totschlag.

1938 - Die Reichspogromnacht (Kristallnacht)

Merkel besucht die Gedenkfeier zur Kristallnacht in Berliner Synagoge

Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel nahm am Freitag an einer Gedenkveranstaltung zum 80. Jahrestag der Kristallnacht 1938 in der Synagoge an der Rykestrasse in Berlin teil. Auch Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier war unter den Teilnehmern.

Vom Altar aus sagte Merkel: "Man kann einfach all dieses Leiden nicht in Worte fassen. Ich habe einfach keine Worte. Deshalb spreche ich heute aus einem anderen Grund zu euch."

Die Kristallnacht – abgeleitet von der Bezeichnung "die Nacht des Glasbruchs" – war ein staatlich gefördertes antijüdisches Pogrom, das von den Nazis am 9. und 10. November 1938 initiiert wurde. So benannt ist das Ereignis auch wegen der Zerstörung jüdischen Eigentums während des Pogroms, in dem Synagogen, Schaufenster und Häuser zu Tausenden zerstört wurden.

Rund 30.000 jüdische Männer wurden in derselben Nacht zusammengetrieben und in Konzentrationslager gebracht, über 500 wurden ermordet.

Inside Story - How Close Is the World to Another Global Conflict? | Inside Story

It was the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th month -- and became a pivotal moment in world history. It marked the armistice agreement that officially ended the First World War in 1918.

This weekend, 100 Years later, leaders from more than 50 countries are gathering in France for commemorative events; but the solemn occasion is being overshadowed by deep divisions between trans-Atlantic allies.

This week, the French President called for a 'European army' to defend itself from potential threats from nations such as Russia, China and, remarkably, the United States. Emmanuel Macron's global philosophy is at odds with U.S. President Donald Trump's nationalist, America First agenda.

A century after what is also called the Great War, there's another conflict looming - one of world visions. How stark are the divisions between the ideologies of Trump and Macron?

USA - Trump and the Midterms | DW Documentary | Trump Documentary

The US midterm elections have arrived. Has Trump fulfilled voters’ expectations since being elected president two years ago? [Online until: 07.12.2018]

The deadly shooting attack by a right-wing extremist on a synagogue in Pittsburgh and the letter bombs addressed by a Donald Trump supporter to former US president Barack Obama and others, have caused consternation in America. The attacks, coming just ahead of the midterm congressional elections on 6 November, demonstrate how polarized and poisonous the political atmosphere in the US has become. In our documentary, Ernst Kernmayer asks factory workers, who made a major contribution to the election of Donald trump two years ago, whether their expectations have been fulfilled. He enquires from farmers, who are footing the bill for the trade disputes with China, whether having Trump as president is a good thing, after all. And he meets Lindsay James, one of many women who feel they have to take a stand against Trump. She is running for one of Iowa’s seats in the House of Representatives.

Antisemitism in Europe | DW Documentary

Has antisemitism returned to Europe? Our documentary asks: what is it like to be a Jew in Germany, Poland and France today?

Fear has returned to Europe. Jewish people are afraid of attacks in the street and their children report bullying at school. Cemeteries have been desecrated and hate slogans chanted at parades. Reporters Andreas Morell and Johanna Hasse set out to investigate Europe’s reawakened nationalism and find rising anti-Semitism, especially in Poland. Why does anti-Semitism still exist in society? Why are some prejudices apparently impossible to eradicate? France has even witnessed violent attacks against Jews in recent years, which has led to an increase in emigration of French Jews to Israel. The finger of blame for this new anti-Semitism is usually pointed at Muslims. Morell and Hasse talk to historians and philosophers such as Georges Bensoussan and Elisabeth Badinter, as well as with Rabbi Michel Serfaty, who has tried to mediate between the religions for many years. But when they return to Germany, they realize the same problems exist here too. Perhaps Germany has been too preoccupied with finding solutions and dealing with the idea that anti-Semitism is an immutable problem instead of a social challenge to be confronted. The documentary is an inventory of anti-Semitism in Europe, a film about people caught between despair and hope, and resignation and resistance.

Who Will Be Worst Hit by US Sanctions on Iran? | Inside Story

US President teased his 55 million Twitter followers about his latest action against Iran in the style of a Hollywood movie poster - a picture of him with the words: Sanctions are Coming.

But Donald Trump's taunt wasn't a joke - and it's expected there'll be real life consequences for millions of Iranians. The strict economic and trade penalties come into effect on Monday. The White House says the aim is to force Iran to abandon what it calls its "destructive" behaviour in the Middle East.

But the move's been condemned by Russia, China, and many European allies. International investigators say Tehran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear agreement.

As Trump keeps his promise to punish Iran, could the new tough measures end up hurting the Iranian people the most?

Will the Body of the Saudi Journalist Ever Be Found? | Inside Story

It's a month to the day since Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul - and was never seen again.

What happened to the Saudi Arabian journalist and critic of the Saudi Crown Prince has been the subject of denials, official leaks, presidential speeches, changing Saudi narrative, and global outrage.

His killing has caused countries world-wide to reexamine their relationship with the Kingdom, especially the United States.

Donald Trump's response has kept shifting.

One thing has remained constant: his commitment to the US-Saudi relationship - and the billions of dollars in oil and weapons sales it brings. So, where do things go from here?

Eight Saudi Princes Want King Salman Ousted: Report

A new report reveals that eight of the 12 surviving sons of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch are supporting a palace coup to oust King Salman. British daily, the Independent, quoted an unnamed Saudi prince as saying that there is an increasing pressure within the royal family to end the internal power struggle that has erupted since King Salman inherited the throne early this year. He said a clear majority of powerful clerics also back the move to oust the current King and install his younger brother, Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, in his place. The prince also predicted that eventually either King Salman will step down or Prince Ahmed will become Crown Prince, with full control over the whole country. The prince, who was not named for quote-security reasons, is reportedly the author of two recently published letters calling for the royal family to replace the current Saudi leadership.

King Salman's Brother Returns to Riyadh amid Khashoggi Crisis l Breaking News

The only surviving full brother of Saudi Arabia's King Salman has reportedly returned to the kingdom, amid international outcry over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz flew back to Riyadh from London on Tuesday, according to three Saudi sources close to the prince cited by 'The New York Times', in what some analysts are calling a potential challenge to the authority of Saudi Arabia's de-facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

One of the most senior members of the royal family, Prince Ahmad - who has been living in the United Kingdom - is said to have agreed to return to Riyadh only after receiving security assurances from the UK and United States.

The reports say the prince had been afraid to return home after publicly challenging bin Salman on several occasions.

Is Saudi Arabia Trying to Protect Whoever Ordered Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story

Turkey's president is accusing Saudi Arabia of stalling the investigation into the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Saudi leaders are playing a game to protect someone. He's ramping up the pressure to know who; and demanding information about where the journalist's body is.

Saudi Arabia's Chief prosecutor met his Turkish counterpart for a second time in Istanbul - after what the Turks call an unsatisfactory first meeting on Monday. Sources say the Saudis have finally handed over the testimonies of 18 suspects who are being held in the Kingdom. Where the suspects should be tried is being argued over. Turkey is calling for their extradition; the Saudis insist they'll be tried at home.

As the US considers its options, and the European Union faces further calls to ban arms sales - will the Saudis budge?

Glenn Greenwald on Bolsonaro: Brazil Has Elected “Most Extremist Leader in the Democratic World”

Far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro has been elected Brazil’s next president, marking the most radical political shift in the country since military rule ended more than 30 years ago. Bolsonaro, a former Army officer, openly supports torture and dictatorships, has a history of making racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments, and has threatened to destroy, imprison or banish his political opponents. He defeated Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party with 55 percent of the vote. His ascendance to power is leading many to fear the future of democracy in Brazil is in danger. We speak with Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the founding editors of The Intercept, in Rio de Janeiro. He says that Bolsonaro is “by far the most extremist leader now elected anywhere in the democratic world.”

Can Saudi, Turkey Work Together to Shed Light on Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story

It's been more than three weeks since journalist Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, never to be seen again. And with each passing day, brings a new element to a crime that's shocked the world.

Turkey wants Saudi Arabia to extradite the 18 men who've been suspected in his killing. But Saudi Arabia insists they will face justice in the Kingdom. This issue will likely top the agenda as Saudi Arabia's top prosecutor arrives in Turkey.

The Initial Turkish inquiry has concluded that the killing was premeditated, a fact, Saudi officials have taken some time to acknowledge. Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is urging Saudi Arabia to disclose where Khashoggi's remains are and explain who gave the order to kill him. So, will the two countries co-operate?

Günter Gaus im Gespräch mit Franz Josef Strauß (1964)

Der Untergang des Osmanischen Reiches

Mit den von den Mächten eingeforderten Reformen gingen zunehmend wirtschaftliche Probleme einher. In den „Kapitulationen“ genannten Handelsverträgen wurde der Markt im Osmanischen Reich für die Europäer geöffnet, und die Einfuhrzölle lagen unter den Ausfuhrzöllen. Durch die mangelnde Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des osmanischen Handwerks wurde das Osmanische Reich zum Importeur von europäischen Waren und der Aufbau einer eigenen Industrie unterbunden. Unterdessen fanden die Unruhen auf dem Balkan kein Ende. Nach einem Krieg gegen Serbien 1876 wurde in Istanbul eine internationale Konferenz einberufen, auf der die Zukunft des Balkan diskutiert wurde. Um seine Reformbereitschaft zu demonstrieren, kündigte der durch einen Staatsstreich an die Macht gekommene Abdülhamid II. eine liberale Verfassung an, die ein parlamentarisches System eingeführt hätte. Als Ergebnis der Konferenz fassten die Mächte eine Autonomie sowohl für zwei Provinzen auf bulgarischem Gebiet als auch für Bosnien und Herzegowina ins Auge. Als die „Hohe Pforte“ dies ablehnte, erklärte Russland den Krieg, besetzte den gesamten europäischen Teil der Türkei und rückte auf Istanbul vor. Nach der Entscheidungsschlacht am Schipkapass im Januar 1878 war der Sieg der russischen Truppen nicht mehr zu verhindern. Ende Januar 1878 bat das Osmanische Reich um den Abschluss eines Friedensvertrages.

John Bolton Gets Us One Step Closer to Nuclear War with Russia

Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton is blocking talks at the moment that could help extend a nuclear treaty between the US and Russia, and instead he wants the US to just pull out of these nuclear agreements. Not only is this move being derided as hasty and reckless, it would also send a signal to the rest of the world that the US is no longer keeping their word on agreements from the past. This is dangerous, and John Bolton is clearly calling the shots in this administration. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Is the Global Response to Khashoggi Killing Tough Enough? | Inside Story

Outrage, condemnation and diplomatic action escalating worldwide. The killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi continues to provoke reactions.

He was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2nd. Since then, the world has been gripped by accounts of what really happened.

The mystery first unfolded through leaks by Turkish investigators. Reports emerged about a Saudi-hit squad killing and dismembering the journalist - allegedly on the orders of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

After two weeks of Saudi denials, diplomats eventually admitted Khashoggi was 'mistakenly' killed during a brawl in the consulate. And denied any involvement by bin Salman - denials met with widespread scepticism.

Turkey's President has confirmed what he callled a 'savage, pre-meditated murder.' Recep Tayyip Erdogan's calling for an independent, credible investigation with accountability - from top to bottom. And he's calling on the Kingdom to provide answers - especially - who gave the order to murder and where are Khashoggi's remains? But will those answers ever be provided?

Rula Jebreal: My “Secret Interview” with Jamal Khashoggi Before His Brutal Murder by the Saudis

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has directly accused Saudi Arabia of the premeditated murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was last seen alive entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in Turkey on October 2. Erdogan said a team of Saudi officials had planned Khashoggi’s murder days in advance, directly contradicting Saudi Arabia’s claim that Khashoggi died after a fight in the consulate. Turkish officials have claimed that audio and video recordings show Saudi officials used a bone saw to dismember Khashoggi’s body, but Erdogan made no mention of the audio and video recordings of the killing. Fallout from Khashoggi’s murder is being felt across the globe. We speak with Rula Jebreal, a journalist, author and foreign policy analyst who conducted one of the last known interviews with Khashoggi. She says calling Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a reformer is “like calling David Duke a civil rights activist.” Her new cover story for Newsweek is titled “Jamal Khashoggi Secret Interview: The Saudi Journalist’s Views of Islam, America and the 'Reformist' Prince Implicated in His Murder.”

Cooperating or Clashing over the Killing of Jamal Khashoggi? | Inside Story

Turkey’s President had promised what he called the 'naked truth'. 24 hours later, Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered his much anticipated speech to MPs in Ankara. He gave more details about the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. But the president said many questions remains unanswered – including who ordered his death and where is his body?

Erdogan said the Saudi journalist was the victim of a savage murder, planned days in advance – that contradicts Saudi accounts of an accidental killing. He says he doesn't doubt the credibility of King Salman – but is demanding answers and a full investigation into what happened in Istanbul three weeks ago.

There was no mention of Saudi Crown prince Mohammad bin Salman – who some suspect of ordering the killing of the writer who’d criticized him. Erdogan wants the identities of all involved - everyone from top to bottom held accountable and suspects to go on trial in Turkey. So, what now?
