People don’t believe Jamal’s watch made an audio recording.

The disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi has the world in an uproar. The man was reportedly tortured, murdered, and even dismembered after entering a Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey. Since the incident, a report of a chilling audio recording has been revealed, which supposedly chronicles the man’s entrance into the consulate all the way to his death.

Previously, some believed that one of the sources of the audio recording was from Jamal’s Apple Watch, reported the Inquisitr. The theory was that his watch recorded the incident and synced up with his iPhone via Bluetooth. The phone was purportedly in his fiancee’s possession at the time of his death, as she had accompanied him to the consulate but waited outside.

Pastor Andrew Brunson, the preacher who was recently freed from Turkish detention, has asked God to grant President Donald Trump supernatural wisdom, according to White House reporter for the Associated Press, Zeke Miller. Miller made the report via a tweet on October 13.

As The Inquisitr previously reported, Brunson’s release is considered a “big win” for the Trump administration. There were reports of tenuous negotiations for the pastor’s release which undermined the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Turkey, a key US ally in the Middle East.

According to Al Jazeera, the pastor was arrested in 2016 after a failed coup attempt in Turkey. Authorities claimed that he had ties to Fethullah Gulen, the man who was blamed for orchestrating the attempted uprising against President Erdogan. Gullen currently resides in the U.S.

There were also claims that Brunson was spreading Christianity to Kurdish communities in an attempt to unseat Erdogan.

Mike Pompeo Meets Kim Jong Un

North Korea is under international sanctions but this did not prevent its leader, Kim Jong-Un, to arrive in a meeting with the U.S. secretary of state in a $400K luxury car.

According to The Telegraph, the North Korean dictator arrived for a working lunch with U.S. secretary of state Mike Pompeo in a new Rolls Royce on Sunday.

The jet-black Phantom Rolls-Royce has darkened windows and features the distinctive logo of the car’s brand on the wheel hubs.

It isn’t clear how the car would have been transported to Pyongyang since this is a violation of the United Nations’ sanctions against North Korea.

The sanctions prohibit the sale of luxury goods, which include luxury automobiles and motor vehicles, to the North Korean government.

North Korea is sanctioned under multiple UN Security Council resolutions because of its nuclear weapons program.

The black Rolls Royce Phantom limousine, which was likely delivered from China, costs at least $400,000.

The Nathanael Greene statue in Johnson Square of Savannah, Georgia was defaced with googly eyes.

Police forces in Savannah, Georgia are on the lookout for the culprit behind a vandalized statue of a Revolutionary War general with googly eyes according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

While it might look funny, law enforcement and city officials are taking the matter very seriously.

In the state of Georgia, defacing, defiling or mutilating a grave marker, monument or memorial devoted to a deceased individual who served in the military can be considered criminal trespass, which is a misdemeanor offense.

However, if the damage is more than $500, it will turn into a felony, criminal damage to property.

The statue is a monument to Nathanael Greene, a major general in the Army during the Revolutionary War, at his burial site in Johnson Square.

While he never fought in Georgia, his leadership and innovative strategies helped the state free themselves from British rule. Greene also moved to Georgia with his family after the war, but he died of heat stroke shortly after in 1786.

Trump to view Jamal's audio recordings.

Tensions are rising between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, as Donald Trump threatened the latter with “severe punishment” should the allegations about Jamal Khashoggi’s murder turns out to be true. The reports are based on surveillance footage that was somehow recorded and obtained of the incident, and Trump is reportedly going to review the information “soon,” detailed USA Today.

There has been some confusion over where the recordings came from. Turkish outlets reported that the audio recordings were made by Jamal himself, using an Apple Watch. However, since those reports came out, many have pointed out flaws in the story, as detailed by the Inquisitr. Rather, some wonder if Turkey is making these false claims in order to avert attention away from the possibility that the surveillance footage was obtained through secret, planted devices at the Saudi Arabian consulate. Considering that the alleged murder took place at the Saudi consulate in Turkey, this scenario is possible.

Viral Video Shows Raccoon and Iguana Fight In Battle To The Death

Green iguana on a branch

A man in Boca Raton, Florida taking a smoke break witnessed an epic battle to the death between two local wildlife dwellers — a raccoon and a green iguana. The man also captured the violent encounter on a 37 second video that has since gone viral, reports the New York Post.

In the footage, you can see that the two creatures are obviously not pals, perhaps because iguanas are an invasive species and the raccoon is not happy with the lizard and his kind moving into his territory. Then again, the raccoon may just be looking for a quick meal. After all, raccoons are opportunistic and omnivorous eaters.

The footage starts out with a raccoon chasing after the hapless lizard. Iguanas are no slouch when it comes to defending themselves — they have a mouthful of teeth and can swat offenders with their formidable, scaly tail. However, it’s clear from the beginning that the reptile is no match for the much larger mammal.
