BBC World Service - BBC OS, US Secretary of State to Meet Saudi King 'Immediately'

The latest on the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.

President Trump is sending his Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to Saudi Arabia for talks with King Salman on the fate of the missing journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Some reports say that Saudi officials have allowed Turkish investigators to enter the consulate in Istanbul, where Mr Khashoggi entered two weeks ago and has not been seen since. 
Also today; US Senator Elizabeth Warren has become a talking point after she released results of her DNA test confirming her Native American ancestry. We ask why a potential Democratic presidential contender felt the need to do it?
And why people in the Indian state of Kerala are protesting against the Supreme Court decision to allow women of all ages to enter a Hindu temple. Until now, the women of menstruating age were not allowed to enter.
