Saudi Arabia: Biden raised Khashoggi murder with crown prince

US President Joe Biden says he raised the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Mr Biden is in Saudi Arabia to rebuild relations, having previously promised to make the country a "pariah" over its human rights record.

He said he had made it clear the killing in 2018 was "vitally important to me and the United States".
