Trump defends Saudi leader over Khashoggi killing
US president Donald Trump says Saudi's de facto leader knew nothing about the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
The Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, has been welcomed to the White House by President Trump; it's his first visit to the US since the journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi agents seven years ago.
Also in the programme: the US House of Representatives has voted in favour of compelling the Justice Department to release its files on the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein; and an Asian-American star of the hit TV series K-pop Demon Hunters talks about her experience of racism growing up.
