Saudi Arabia calls Khashoggi killing "grave mistake," insists crown prince not aware

14 Sept 01:55 Key points summarised by AI

Saudi Arabia reversed its stance, admitting journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing at its Istanbul consulate was a "huge and grave mistake" after weeks of denial.
Riyadh maintained that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had no prior knowledge of the operation, blaming rogue individuals who "exceeded authorities."
The admission was deemed insufficient by the US, while European powers demanded further clarification, with Germany halting arms exports to Saudi Arabia.
The incident has significantly eroded global confidence in Saudi relations and prompted a sell-off of Saudi stocks by foreign investors.

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
