Hello! Here's what's happening on Wednesday.
1. US President Donald Trump said the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was one of the worst cover-ups in history. The Saudi foreign minister has described the killing as a "cover-up" and a "rogue operation" and sought to distance Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from the incident.
2. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is reportedly considering chartering supply ships if there's a no-deal Brexit. There are concerns that Britain might run out of essential supplies like food and medicine if it leaves the EU without a deal.
