Newsday

Available for over a year

Saudi Arabia and America strengthen their relationship, or will human rights get in their way? President Joe Biden has spoken with Saudi King Salman, ahead of a US report into the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Peace may be about to break along one of the world's most fractious borders, as India and Pakistan vow to end their sporadic military confrontations in Kashmir. And a report from Amnesty International alleges that multiple war crimes took place last November in the sacred city of Aksum in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
