Turkey 'has recording proving Saudi murder'
Turkish officials have audio and video evidence that shows missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured and killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the BBC has learned.
Mr Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government, has not been seen since he entered the building on 2 October.
Turkish intelligence had "documented evidence" of the murder, a source close to the investigation said.
Saudi Arabia denies the allegations. It says the journalist left the building.
Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and reported death have prompted international outrage and dented business confidence in Saudi Arabia. Tycoon Sir Richard Branson has halted talks over $1bn Saudi investment in Virgin space firms and several top business leaders have pulled out of a Saudi investment conference later this month.

I've always said, the worst single mistake ever made in the history of our country: going into the Middle East, by President Bush. Obama may have gotten our guys out wrong, but going in is, to me, the biggest single mistake made in the history of our Country. Because we spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. Now if you wanna fix a window some place they say, "oh gee, let’s not do it." 7 trillion, and millions of lives. You know, because I like to count both sides. Millions of lives. And we didn't take their oil. I said, look, we spent all this money, we did all these wars. And we won. But we didn't take the oil, why? We could have made that money back on the back end if we took the oil -- which we need. People don't know this, USA is the biggest oil country in what we produce. But we use an incredible amount. Because our economy is doing tremendously. Better than it ever has. And better than anyone ever imagined.
The equipment. Iraq, Libya, they built their own. As everybody knows. But, they didn't build everything. They also had French. Mirage & Exocet. And Russian -- USSR. MiG & T tank. Very big brands in military stuff. Afghanistan, I don't know. But Russia was in there a long time. And America -- long before Bush Jr. So they probably have Russian & American. Iran, they build their own. But they also have American, they have a lot of American. From when they had the Shah (RIP!!).
Look, nobody wants to fight a rich & smart Country. A strong Country. You get ready for it. But you hope it doesn't happen. Bush Jr. was our dumbest President. Tiny tiny Brain. But fortunately he let Dick Cheney take over. It was still pretty bad. But, could have been worse. If we went to war with Russia. With China. Or with France. And it sounds like you want to see that. Not on my watch!!!
