One insurance company estimated the damage from hurricane Michael at 8 billion dollars. Rescue crews in the Florida panhandle are still searching for people trapped in debris and damaged homes.

President Trump says relations with Saudi Arabia are excellent and that he doesn't want to stop US-Saudi arms deals. He also says he is demanding answers about journalist Jamal Khashoggi who disappeared after going into the Saudi consulate in Turkey.
