President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted denials from the Saudi government of having any involvement in the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Hello! Here's what you need to know for Friday.

1. President Donald Trump has suggested "the world" is actually to blame for the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The president also says the Saudi crown prince at the centre of the global scandal probably regrets the incident more than Trump does.

2. Sheryl Sandberg would have known about Facebook's relationship with a mud-slinging PR firm. But it seems she just didn't read her emails properly.

3. The US is asking its key allies to shun China's tech-giant Huawei. The US is highly concerned about Huawei's close ties to the Chinese government.

5. If you're having trouble keeping up to date with the storm in a tea cup that is Brexit, then we have good news. This nifty little flowchart is going to help.

9. Two police have been killed in an attack on a Chinese consulate in Pakistan. The BBC reports that at least two policemen have died in an armed attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi.
