BBC news Front covers of various incarnations of the Belfast News Letter The media group which owns the oldest English language daily newspaper in the world  has been bought out hours after filing for administration.

(Cliff Owen/AP) October 13 at 6:29 PM When he hosted last October's gThe maintenance of silence littering global investment conference in Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did the world at his fingertips. Thousands of investors, corporate chieftains and government leaders flocked to the kingdom to hear the charismatic young heir to the Saudi throne outline his plans for modernization of the reclusive kingdom, and to be invited for the ride and the profits. "Only dreamers are welcome to join," Mohammed told his audience. As a second conference approaches this month in Riyadh, Mohammed, 33, seems far less dashing.

Turks tell U.S. they have recordings proving Khashoggi was killed in Saudi consulate A security guard speaks with colleagues at the entrance of Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 12, 2018. Petros Giannakouris / AP Turkish authorities have told U.S. officials that they have recordings from inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul that provide evidence that missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside, officials told NBC News. The recordings were key to Turkey being confident enough to say that Khashoggi is dead and that Saudi Arabia killed him, according to both U.S. and Turkish officials, along with other individuals briefed on the intelligence.

THE BEST FIFA MEN'S PLAYER Luka Modric For the first time, there is a new name on The Best FIFA Men’s Player trophy, with Luka Modric succeeding the winner of the inaugural two awards – Cristiano Ronaldo – after a superlative 2017/18 that saw the Croatian midfield maestro reach new heights. It has taken something outstanding to break the duopoly of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the pinnacle of the men’s game, and Modric’s season has undoubtedly warranted the landmark. Awarded the adidas Golden Ball at the FIFA Club World Cup before playing an integral role in Real Madrid’s third consecutive UEFA Champions League trophy, the Croatian was the metronomic lynchpin at the heart of Los Blancos midfield throughout the 2017/18 campaign. He also starred on the international stage, playing a key role in helping his country to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and then producing superlative performances at the finals themselves. Modric’s tireless running, key goals and outstandi
