Can the US Be a Dependable Ally? l Inside Story

This is her second visit to Brussels in three days and now that she has clung on to her job she came hoping to get her deal across the line in Parliament.

Does Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) Care about New Khashoggi Revelations? l Inside Story
The CIA has reportedly concluded the order to kill Jamal Khashoggi was given by Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
‘The Wall Street Journal’ says its obtained details of the highly classified CIA document. The newspaper says bin Salman sent at least 11 messages to his closest adviser, Saud al-Qahtani.
He reportedly supervised the so-called 'hit' team.
The CIA says al-Qahtani was in direct communication with the team’s leader in Istanbul - in the hours before and after the journalist was murdered.
The Saudi team was reportedly assembled from the Crown Prince's top security men in the Royal Guard.
The judgment on Bin Salman's likely culpability is based on the prince’s personal focus on Khashoggi who had criticised him - as well as the Prince authorising the same team to target other opponents.
The Saudi leader is reported to have told associates in August last year that if efforts failed to persuade Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia, he would be lured somewhere else.
Do the latest revelations make any difference because bin Salman continues to enjoy Donald Trump's support?
