down in self-imposed exile in the united states he has been a contributor to the washington post opinion piece action he has commended on many controversial issues the war in german for example domestic politics in saudi arabia so if this news if the allegations of his killing are indeed true this would mark a stunning focus on saudi arabia's crackdown on dissent. many thanks for that. reporting from. turning now to the u.s. where president trump is celebrating a major domestic victory that's often the republican controlled senate snarr only voted to confirm his nominee brett kavanaugh as the supremum court justice the move comes after weeks of punches and infighting of accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against the judge his appointment means the supremes court could have a conservative majority for years to come.
