Newspaper says there's audio of US journalist's slaying

The Turkish government is claiming to have an audio of Khashoggi's killing from his Apple Watch. Intelligence is claiming that Saudi officials attempted to retrieve and destroy the information off the watch, but did not know how to. The Turkish government also claims to have a video. All of which they are denying to reveal their sources. This topic is very relevant to International relations in the coming days and weeks. Trump has made a statement, but pressure has not been so strongly put upon the Saudi government. Additionally, Turkey has also not put a lot of pressure on the Saudi government either. There is little to no chance the Saudi government did not kill the journalist because he was never seen exiting the consulate; therefore, pressure should be put on the Saudi government. Not only should this pressure be applied for figuring out what happened, but for the action itself. It will be important to examine what occurs in the coming week with this issue.
