the saudi arabia and the gulf region how do you see it playing out in saudi arabia could we see something on raveling like some kind of arab spring revolt that we saw in other neighboring countries or not. look let me tell you. when the national system has proved a nationalist revolutions in the arab world of it started with egypt and continued with iraq syria and. monarchies of the guns were very frightened that the vicious wave would be this old monarchy and replace it with a nationalist system but they could escape this now when they feel the strings with. nations of these arab world. to leave egypt and libya are calling for their freedom they're afraid that if this revolution take. full range it will extend truly. and in fact this has started we have seen the wall street. especially through in part of saudi arabia we have seen women movements for example for the right to drive question many activists in the field of human rights are starting. pulling for democracy inside and outside saudi arabia and we have seen also how they are bitterly suppressed and many were prisons and many. nat

reform and the other reason is that saudi arabia when it becomes war knows that saudi arabia is the main source of this extremism that will lead to a popular vigilance for example in the u.s. in countries like britain in all these countries i think people will become more and more aware about what saudi arabia represents and hence the u.s. might be pushed into a corner by the way hillary clinton recently said that they are fighting one hundred ism so i think you're seeing a more divergence or slow divergence between the west on the one hand and saudi arabia on the are they to have to reach to a very critical point as of yet but i believe that this report and more and similar developments would put more pressure just only on the u.s. and all of these western countries sure briefly a revelator report isn't it h.s.b.c. has said sorry but do you expect any sort of reaction from riyadh on this just briefly. i didn't hear your question could you repeat that please h.s.b.c. have apologized but we expect any reaction from riyadh over this revelation report . no no i don't think so i don't t

arabia in saudi arabia on the level that we've seen in syria and libya what what is the immediate future do you think. as i said this i would do is they don't have a constitution they don't have me they don't have it's our dr. a governing very rich state and they deprive people according to their hierarchy and their tribe and their tribal system and that's not as state actually they deprived their citizens as they all of their citizens and also they do they want to do the same thing and other. emirates like and behind and other they all saw impose on them some dictations to deprive people of from saying any a word about evolution and although they are paying a lot of money and they ask to have the syrians and these gangs could you will believe that saudi arabia is helping the revolution whether in egypt or in syria or in tunisia or in lebanon or in palestine or anywhere nobody can believe so i guess this i would be is the last three she would have the right to talk about such thing and i guess the third one stopped in saudi arabia and the people who want to stop there they got this regim

says it shows the true colors of saudi arabia i think it really stems down the fact that saudi arabia is the main export of what could be called the radical islam it is the saudi brand of islam actually which has tarnished the muslim image and the whole world for example look at what happened on september eleventh or some in london who was born in saudi arabia so i think this proves what many people have said all along that it is saudi arabia which is the main export of radical religious extremism or be a radical elements but more importantly i think that this report. that sheds light on the whole lions between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do is put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy now of course saudi arabia is considered to be an ally for many people are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might soon reconsider their alliance with saudi arabia. now let's have a quick look at some of the stories making headlines around the world before the business news with katie dr
