World. Im rosemary church, and this is cnn newsroom. Saudi arabia is offering its explanation for what happened to Jamal Khashoggi, but many in the International Community are not buying it. In a fox news interview, the Saudi Foreign minister called the journalists death a murder that was a tremendous mistake by a rogue operation. Adele ajuber added Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was not aware beforehand. He called the eldest son to express condolences. Our Nick Robinson joins us now from istanbul with more on all of this. Nick, how likely is it that Jamal Khashoggis body will ever be located . Reporter well, what we are hearing, the latest if you like, from the foreign minister in saudi arabia, is that they dont know where his body is. And as they have the men that turkish investigators would most like to question, the 15 minute turkish investigators say were the hit squad that came from saudi arabia the day Jamal Khashoggi disappeared, it would seem the preponderance of information should still be with those people in riyadh back in saudi arabia. But its not clear if those are among those 15 people or among the 18 that the saudis have detained. But the trail here on the ground does seem to be running somewhat cold now. The trail for Jamal Khashoggis body is going cold. Video released the turkish media over the weekend reveal the hours before his death. This is saudis offer their first accounting of events. This wasnt a rogue operation. This was an operation where individuals exceeded the authorities and responsibilities they had. They made a mistake when they killed Jamal Khashoggi in the consulate and they tried to cover up for it. Reporter a fist fight, a choke hold, the implication being khashoggis death an accident. In riyadh, 18 people arrested, but there are still holes in the saudi narrative, not least, they say they are cooperating with turkish investigators, but still khashoggis body is missing. Where some of these consular vehicles went in the hours africa shogis disappearance, still a mystery. Saudi leaks say his body, given to a local collaborator. Forests and farms outside istanbul have been at the center of rumors. His body may have been dumped there, but as yesterday, no evidence. On saturday, turkish investigators questioned consulate employees, including the consul generals driver. But still no body. His friends demanding its return. Translator give it back so that we can raise his funeral. Let the whole world watch Jamal Khashoggis farewell who was killed in a darkroom with horrific details, and whose body is tried to be hidden. Reporter President Trump asking, too. Somebody knows, but nobody of the various investigation groups at this moment know, but well find out. Reporter the u. S. President now beginning to question the role his saudi ally, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman may have had in khashoggis death. Its possible. You dont know that, but its possible. Reporter so, if they do find or rather maybe when they find Jamal Khashoggis body, that could be very helpful for investigators to provide forensic information and perhaps shed lie light on why one of saudi arabias top Forensic Experts was on that socalled hit team that turkish officials talked about. Rosemary . And, nick, we have learned that saudi Prince Mohammed bin salman called khashoggis oldest son to offer condolences. Do we know how his son responded to that call from the crown prince . Reporter we noah corresponding to the Saudi Press Agency that his son thanked Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for the call. One wouldnt expect, a, the Saudi Press Agency to say anything else, or in the circumstance that Jamal Khashoggis son finds himself in, wouldnt expect him to say anything else either. His situation in saudi arabia has a lot of speculation around it, a lot of questions about his freedom to travel. But at the moment he is the principal member of the family in saudi arabia with the closest ties to his father. Most of the rest of the family, close family, have left. And, of course, he like his friends would dearly, dearly like to know precisely what happened to his father. And he, like everyone else, will have to wait for the investigation, rosemary. Understandably. And, Nick Robertson with the very latest from istanbul. Appreciate that. And in an interview with Washington Post, the u. S. President is offering conflicting news on the case. He said theres been deception and theres been lies, but he stopped short of blaming Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Nobody has told me hes responsible. Nobody has told me hes not responsible. We havent reached that point. Nevertheless, u. S. Lawmakers are doubtful and pointing the finger at the crown prince. Republican senator bob corker says the u. S. Should punish Mohammed Bin Salman if an investigation confirms he was involve in the killing. Corker spoke with our jake tapper. I think he did it. I think he did it. If he did, i think there should be a collective response. I talked to ambassadors from other countries. In the west, theyre looking for the United States for leadership on this issue. But they also want to make sure that they coordinate a response with us. They, too, have arms sales to saudi arabia. They, too, have tinterests ther like we do. This is something youre going to see the United States, united kingdom, france, germany working collectively with others if he did this, to respond in an appropriate way. And fellow republican senator Lindsey Graham says he is beyond skeptical. If the crown prince truly loved his country, he would not have put his country in this position. If he truly respected the relationship between the United States and saudi arabia, he would never have thought of this. The question is, was he involved. I think the answer is unequivocally yes. First answer was a lie. The second story line is just manufactured. The reship is important, but our values are more important. Ive been there enough to know. Ive been the leading supporter along with john mccain of the u. S. saudi relationship. I feel completely betrayed. Us treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin will attend a meeting combatting terrorism. Even though he pulled out of an Investor Conference because of the khashoggi case, his travel plans have been closely watched as an indicator of the Trump Administrations response to the situation. Joining us now from istanbul is matthew briser. He is a former u. S. Diplomat and a former coordinator of u. S. Policy in turkey with the National Security council. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you. So, Jamal Khashoggis body has still not been found. We do want to just listen to what the Saudi Foreign minister said about that when he was questioned about it on fox news over the weekend. Lets bring that up. You said you dont know where the body is. Someone obviously knows. Was it chopped up . Was it dismembered . Do you know that . We are working on this. We are working on this with our turkish colleagues. The public prosecutors continue his line of questioning. And we are intent on determining what happened and we are intent on uncovering all the facts that exist in this case. We want to make sure we know what happened and we want to make sure those responsible will be held to account. Matthew briser, how likely is it that the body of ka shoug ee will ever be found . And how committed do you think the saudi government is to getting to the truth of the matter when it comes to the murder of khashoggi . I think it is unlikely theyll find the body, though we dont know what details president erdogan and the turkish government are going to divulge. President erdogan says tuesday, tomorrow, he says no facts will be hidden. But that doesnt mean you can find the body. To me, foreign minister aljuber are dodging questions. There are alleged facts turkey has provided. Hes addressed none of those issues. He desperately tried to get out of the question and said, well, well see what the independent investigation determines. Again, those facts have been leaking out a weekandahalf now. He also on saturday or sunday yesterday, the crown prince had any culpability, that really rang hollow to me. Right. And President Trump told the Washington Post theres been deception and lies, but he did stop short of blaming the crown prince. What did you make of that . What did you read into that . Well, first of all, yeah, when President Trump said it could have been him, or it might not have been, to me that was the opening of the door for the Saudi Foreign minister to make just a desperate claim that the crown prince wasnt involved. So, to put it differently, it is an incredibly Inconvenient Truth for President Trump, for king salman, for the saudi government if it becomes known that the crown prince was the one who ordered this. So, i think President Trump is hoping that some sort of story will be concocted that will provide enough wiggle room that there will be doubt in the air and business can return to usual at some point in the future after the midterm elections for sure. Now, as you mentioned, turkeys president will reveal more on tuesday, but why has turkey been reluctant so far to reveal all it knows about the death of khashoggi . What is it hoping to achieve by doing that . Is it getting some sort of leverage at this point . I think it is. I think turkey is playing a careful game. Number one, it is quite remarkable that the turkish government has been leaking these details. Had it not, we wouldnt really know anything. Number two, president erdogan i think is still angry at the crown prince for saying a few months ago that turkey is part of a triangle of evil. Thats iran, qatar and turkey. But that said, president erdogan doesnt want to rupture relations with saudi arabia. Saudi arabia is a huge player, a sunni muslim majority population, the keeper of the holy sites, an economic power house, and so i think that maybe president erdogan is dripping out this information stepbystep, precisely for what you said, to have some semblance, some sort of leverage over the saudi government, whether financial, strategic, maybe hoping that saudi arabia will stop pressuring turkeys close friend and ally qatar, but without blowing up the relationship. Right. Just very quickly before you go, in light of what we have learned so far, how should the u. S. And other allies punish the saudis for the murder of khashoggi . I think probably demanding the replacement of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman should be meted out. There should be sanctions against individuals who are culpable. Speaker ryan talked about the magnitsky act. It seems like such a vote will go forward now, so i think at a minimum there should be some cutback on those arms shipments. Beyond that, i guess it will be important to see what sort of punishment is meted out in riyadh against those who are culpable. Its hard to see how a normal relationship with saudi arabia can continue at this point without some form of punishment. Matthew bryzer, thank you for joining us. An apology in the making.

Australias Prime Minister is offering an emotional apology to thousands of people who survived institutional child sexual abuse. In a parliamentary speech with survivors in the audience, Scott Morrison said the nation failed its children. His statement comes after a landmark inquiry into rampant sexual abuse that took place over decades. Now will ripley joins us now live from hong kong with more on all of this. So, will, this apology made by the australian Prime Minister was heart felt. It was emotional. But it is a long time coming, isnt it . How significant is this, and how is it received . Reporter not only is this apology coming after a fiveyear study by the royal commission, rosemary, but after decades of systemic institutional child sexual abuse that was kept hidden. And so the apology is being received understandably by some survivors as too little too late. They feel that the institutions that have been complicit in the abuse of so many children, 8,000 victims uncovered by this study. And, of course, that is probably only scratching the surface. You can bet that there are many more who havent been interviewed. Cases that havent been discovered. Theres nothing that can be done to compensate those people and their families for the pain that they have endured, and really the lifelong implications that can help to many survivors of child sexual abuse, everything from substance abuse, to Mental Health struggles. But the Prime Minister did, nonetheless, make a vow that australia will now take ownership of this issue and will take steps to help victims come forward and feel brave enough to speak out and to know that when they do that, they will be believed. They will not have their cries for help cast aside as they were for so many decades. Listen to what the Prime Minister talked about when he addressed specifically the issue of sexual abuse in the church because 60 of those 8,000 survivors that were interviewed suffered abuse at the hands of clergy. As a Prime Minister, i am angry, too, at the calculating destruction of lives and the abuse of trust, including those who have abused the shield of faith and religion to hide their crimes, a shield that is supposed to protect the innocent, not the not guilty, and i stand condemned. The Prime MinisterScott Morrison spoke with one activist in australia Chrissy Foster whose story is truly heart breaking. She is a mother of three, three daughters. Two of her daughters were abused by a local priest that they trusted growing up. One of the daughters ended up taking her own life. She overdosed, and the other was in a car accident that left her disabled after a binge drinking incident. It goes to show how their physical scars on top of the emotional ones so many of these victims have endured, rosemary. It is simply devastating. Our will ripley bringing us details live from hong kong. Many thanks to you. Just days after the u. S.
