A court in Turkey is trying 20 Saudi officials for the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The suspects, who are being tried in absentia, are accused of planning and carrying out the killing in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul in 2018, and include two top aides to the Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman who has himself denied ordering the killing. He has nevertheless said he should take full responsibility.

"Well I have to find out who did it, but people saw him go in but they didn't see him come out, as I understand it. But we're going to take a very serious look at it, it's a terrible thing" says US President Donald Trump when asked about missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Meanwhile a small crowd of people protested outside the Saudi Embassy in Washington DC.

Several thousand people gather at the site in Istanbul where Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was gunned down nine years ago, recalling a notorious killing that only recently led to charges against Turkey's security forces.
Two members of the US Capitol Police have been suspended after welcoming pro-Trump rioters into the Capitol building on Wednesday. According to Business Insider, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) said one of the officers took a selfie with a rioter. The other put on a 'Make America Great Again' hat and directed insurrectionists through the building. Ryan is on the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, which oversees spending on the Capitol Police force. He said one of the members may have been arrested. The attack Wednesday was the worst assault on the US Capitol since British forces burned it down in 1814. The rioters failed to stop the certification of electoral college votes for President-elect Joe Biden at the urging of President Donald Trump. The violence resulted in five deaths.
