JUDY WOODRUFF: In the day's other news: A new stock market sell-off wiped out most of
Wall Street's gains this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 608 points today to close at 24583.
That's below where it was on January 1.
The Nasdaq fell 329 points, and is down 10 percent from its peak, what Wall Street calls
a correction.
And the S&P 500 gave up 84 points.
It, too, is now negative for the year.
And most are blaming jitters over future corporate profits.
Saudi Arabia's crown prince declared today that the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi
was a heinous crime, and he promised justice.
Mohammed bin Salman addressed an investment conference in Riyadh.
It was his first statement since the Saudis acknowledged that Khashoggi was killed at
their consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
And suspicions have been raised that the prince might have known about the plot.
MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince (through translator): We know that many are
trying to use this painful thing to drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
This wedge will not happen.
And we will prove to the world that the two governments are cooperating to see that all
perpetrators are taken to court and justice will be seen in the end.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Meanwhile, President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that the prince,
not his father, the king, is largely running Saudi Arabia, so he bears ultimate responsibility.
And Turkey's President Erdogan vowed that his government will not allow a cover-up.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin today warned European nations against accepting U.S. medium-range
missiles.
That's after President Trump threatened to pull out of a 1987 treaty that banned the
weapons.
Putin spoke in Moscow, where he met with Italy's prime minister.
He said Russia will target countries where any U.S. missiles are deployed.
VLADIMIR PUTIN, Russian President (through translator): The main question is what they
will do with these newly available missiles.
If they deliver them to Europe, naturally, our response will have to mirror this.
The European countries which agree to this will have to understand that they put their
own territory under threat of a possible retaliatory strike.
This is obvious.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the allies agree with
U.S. claims that Russia has violated the existing treaty.
But Putin charged that it's the U.S. that's guilty of violations.
The remains of Hurricane Willa dissipated over Northern Mexico today, as emergency workers

Back in this country, someone in South Carolina woke up this morning more than $1.5 billion
richer.

It remains the company's most popular recipe.
Some of grew up on it.
Dorcas Reilly was 92 years old.
