Five things we're looking for today

For three weeks, people have demanded access to the evidence collected by Turkish investigators – and slowly drip fed, day by day, in leaks to the media - showing what happened to Khashoggi after he entered the consulate on 2 October. Today, they may get it.

Here are five things we will be looking for in Erdogan’s speech and as the day moves forward:

1) Was there an interrogation that went wrong, as the Saudis claim? Or was Khashoggi brutally set upon as the Turks say?

2) Was this a premeditated crime or a kidnapping attempt that went awry?

3) If it was a kidnapping that went wrong, why did the Saudis behave the way they did after he died?

4) Was there any communication between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and the team of Saudis in Turkey during the operation? We know that seven of the men belong to MBS’s personal security and protection detail. How high up the chain of command did this operation go?

5) What will US President Donald Trump’s reaction be? Trump said over the weekend that he was “not satisfied” with Saudi Arabia’s account of what happened. What effect will Erodgan's speech have on Trump and American politicians?
