Killing of Jamal Khashoggi and complete details and complete informations

Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 and never left. For more than two weeks, the world awaited answers about his disappearance. Days later, information began to leak from Turkish security officials and said that Khashoggi had been killed in the consulate. Over the weekend, the Saudis acknowledged that Khashoggi had been killed—but they said it was an accident, the result of a fight gone awry. On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called Khashoggi’s death a “planned operation” while revealing few details. President Donald Trump at first cast doubt on Turkey’s account of what happened to Khashoggi and pointed out that Saudi Arabia is a valuable economic partner for America, though he said this week that he also is “not satisfied” with Saudi Arabia’s explanation of Khashoggi’s death.

During the uncertain days following Khashoggi’s abduction, writers at The Atlantic tried to make sense of the U.S.-Saudi Arabia relationship and other questions—about the role of a free press around the world, about America’s allies in the Middle East, and about President Trump’s worldview.

What is life really like in border country, where Trump wants his wall?

Tue 15 Jan 2019 06.00 GMT Last modified on Tue 15 Jan 2019 06.02 GMT Shares 452 D onald Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” has become the trademark of his presidency. It is the promise that more than any other has energized his base, and riled his opponents, and his dogged attachment to it has now brought a large part of the US government to a historic 25 days of partial shutdown. The potency of Trump’s wall – for his supporters and his detractors – stems from its simplicity. Build it tall, build it wide – he has pledged 1,000 miles of it – and America will be safe again. But how does that uncomplicated notion compare to the complexity of the border itself? Taken as a whole, the 1,954 miles of US-Mexican border is a place of astounding diversity – of terrain, of land-use, of city and countryside, of ethnicity. It traverses desert, river, mountain and sea. There is diversity, too, of political view among the 7.5 million peop...
