US raises human rights with Saudi Arabia

Newsday

Available for over a year

We look into US Saudi relations as President Joe Biden and King Salman talk for the first time. We speak to a dissident who was friends with the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. A Âé¶¹Éç investigation has revealed large chunks of the Amazon rain forest are being sold off via social media. Lands supposedly under legal protection have been offered for sale. And the rights group Amnesty International has issued a report alleging a massacre in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, with extrajudicial executions, indiscriminate shelling and widespread looting.
