By JON GAMBRELL (Associated Press)DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Dubai-based television network broadcasting across the Middle East cut substantial portions of an episode of the satiric news program “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” over references to Saudi Arabia’s crown prince being implicated in the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. The decision by OSN highlights the continued limits of speech in both the United Arab Emirates, which has vowed it will allow protests at the upcoming United Nations COP28 climate talks the Gulf Arab country will host later this month, as well as neighboring Saudi Arabia. It also highlights just how sensitive the slaying of Khashoggi, who was dismembered in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, remains more than five years later as Prince Mohammed has sought to rehabilitate his image through diplomatic efforts. “Criticizing the royal family, criticizing the crown prince in Saudi Arabia is a te...
