Turkey 'has recordings of Jamal Khashoggi's torture and murder in Saudi consulate'

Posted: 12 Oct 2018 04:20 AM PDT

Turkey 'has recordings of Jamal Khashoggi's torture and murder in Saudi consulate'Turkish intelligence reportedly have audio and video recordings from inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul where Jamal Khashoggi's Saudi captors can be heard interrogating, torturing, and ultimately murdering him.  US officials have been told by their Turkish counterparts that the recordings prove beyond doubt that the Saudi journalist was killed and dismembered by a team of Saudi operatives, according to the Washington Post.     Turkey has not released the recordings nor officially confirmed that they exist, although pro-government Turkish media has alluded to them several times in recent days. Saudi Arabia has vehemently denied that it was involved in Mr Khashoggi's disappearance on October 2 and has insisted that he left the consulate safely after filing paperwork related to his upcoming marriage.  However, as anger towards Riyadh mounted in Washington and Turkish officials claimed to have comprehensive evidence of Saudi guilt, there were some indications the Saudi position may be shifting.  Turkey announced on Thursday that it had accepted a Saudi offer to form a joint investigation into the case, a sign of a possible thaw between the two sides after more than a week of standoff.  The Saudi ambassador to Washington, Khalid bin Salman, also abruptly returned home for consultations. "We expect some information when he gets back," said Heather Nauert, spokeswoman for the US State Department.  The consul-general's residence, where police suspect the body may have been disposed of Credit: AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis On the recordings, the Saudi men can reportedly be heard questioning Mr Khashoggi in Arabic.   "You can hear how he was interrogated, tortured and then murdered," one person told the Post.  The recordings also reportedly show that members of the 15-man squad went from the Saudi consulate building to the nearby residence of the Saudi consul-general.  Turkish investigators believe that Mr Khashoggi's body may have been disposed of at the residence.  Turkish media reported that police were also interested in a Saudi diplomatic van which went for a long drive on the eastern side of Istanbul, where there is less CCTV coverage, on the day of the disappearance.   The fallout from the journalist's disappearance continued to batter the reformist image of Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, who has presented himself as a modernising force in the conservative kingdom.  Turkey has leaked CCTV footage of the Saudi team in Istanbul Credit: Sabah Newspaper / AFP Sir Richard Branson said he was suspending business dealings with the Saudi government until Mr Khashoggi's fate is known.  "What has reportedly happened in Turkey around the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, if proved true, would clearly change the ability of any of us in the West to do business with the Saudi Government," he said in a statement.  A number of high-profile media figures have pulled out of Crown Prince Mohammed's annual conference, nicknamed "Davos in the Desert", amid the allegations.  A tech executive and a former US energy secretary both stepped back from an advisory board on a new high-tech city Crown Prince Mohammed is building.

UK PM faces backlash over Brexit compromise

UK PM faces backlash over Brexit compromisePrime Minister Theresa May will not "trap" Britain in an endless customs union with the European Union after Brexit, her office insisted Friday amid growing unease in her cabinet and party that this might be the price of a divorce deal. Negotiations in Brussels have stepped up in recent days ahead of a high-stakes EU summit next week, with both sides seeking a breakthrough less than six months before Brexit in March 2019. May briefed selected members of her cabinet late Thursday on the talks, at which several ministers reportedly expressed deep unease at a plan to avoid frontier checks with EU member Ireland.

Royal wedding cake: Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's 400-egg treat

Royal wedding cake: Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's 400-egg treatAs Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding guests mingle around Friday's afternoon's reception inside Windsor Castle, the centrepiece is bound to be the five-tier cake. Designed by cook Sophie Cabot, the royal wedding cake features enormous quantities of eggs, butter and flour. To ensure it was ready on time, Ms Cabot began baking in earnest in Buckingham Palace's kitchens on Wednesday ahead of the big day. The giant red velvet and chocolate cake contains up to 400 eggs, at least 53 packs of unsalted butter, 15 kilograms of organic self raising flour and 20 kilos of sugar. Ms Cabot, 33, admitted she felt "very honoured" to be selected as baker for the royal wedding. Princess Eugenie's royal wedding | Read more She first met the couple in the summer, when she brought cake samples and said: "The couple were very relaxed, very comfortable. I got the feeling the cake was something they were very excited about. "It was a fun meeting as well because I don't think it's every day you have a meeting about cake and you get to try cake." The cake designer, who is based in Fulham, west London, has created a cake that consists of three tiers of red velvet and two of chocolate sponge cake. The cake is covered with buttercream, white icing and decorated with sugar work with an autumnal theme. Although the choice of cake is not traditional, Ms Cabot said the couple insisted on it. She said: "They were very excited about having red velvet, during the tastings red velvet and chocolate came out top. The wedding cake created by baker Sophie Cabot Credit:  MATT CROSSICK/ AFP "It's a lovely thing to have at this time of year as well - it's a nice rich cake. "Not one cake is ever the same and this was extra because of the time of year and they wanted to keep it so seasonal - it was a real joy." Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's royal wedding, in pictures After meeting with the couple several times to finalise the design, the professional baker began working on the cake in July, starting with detailed sugar flowers and foliage, from ivy and acorns to white flowers and maple leaves, which will decorate the five tiers of the cake. "With such a big cake, you need to start well in advance - especially with all the sugar work, so it was important to get going quite quickly." she added.

Royal wedding takes turn for the NSFW with BBC subtitle error

Posted: 12 Oct 2018 05:15 AM PDT

Royal wedding takes turn for the NSFW with BBC subtitle errorBritish royal weddings are usually posh affairs, steeped in tradition, and not really the place to make mention of, uuuh, people's private parts.  That is nonetheless what happened when BBC News subtitled its coverage of Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank.  SEE ALSO: Cara Delevingne rocks up to royal wedding in suit and top hat, everyone else go home A commentary on the Princess's dress ended up being subtitled as a remark on... not her dress. The mistake was most likely not due to human error, but rather an automated subtitle malfunction.  Either the subtitles machine is broken or BBC News are getting rather personal about Princess Eugenie.����#RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/oFrlK2cMuX — Ollie Bayliss (@Ollie_Bayliss) October 12, 2018 The BBC's subtitles during a #RoyalWedding news report made QUITE the error.As Eugiene left the car a presenter said "what a beautiful dress."Unfortunately the subtitles said "What a beautiful breasts."
