saudi arabian officials have confirmed that the british government has invited crown prince mohammed bin salman, to the uk in october. there s been sharp criticism from opposition parties and campaigners over the gulf leader s human rights record. this report from our political correspondent, helen catt. crown prince mohammed bin salman last came to the uk in march 2018. but later that same year, a journalist, jamal khashoggi, was brutally murdered inside a saudi embassy. american intelligence agencies concluded the killing had been authorised by mohammed bin salman, which he denied. some say inviting him back would send all the wrong signals. what we should be doing is thinking about how we influence these countries and, as i said, rolling out the red carpet, treating them as welcome guests, is not the way to do it. saudi arabia is currently spending very big money trying to shift its economy away from oil. it s also investing heavily in sport, including buying newcastle united. the
