armed group. >> within the past few weeks, we have nearly put an end to isil in saudi arabia. >> reporter: officials say the suspects are from across the middle east and africa. they are believed to have been involved in the bombings of mosques in the cities of dman, delawa and fatiq security forces say they have foiled six other attacks being planned against saudi targets. >> isil is trying to create a rift in the kingdom. they want to create chaos here through these terror cells which included citizens from saudi arabia and other countries. >> with the arrests, sawyerudi arabia is also hoping they have squashed the ability of isil to recruit more fighters. natasha gname, al jazeera. >> the al arab news channel, more needs to be done to defeat

isil. >> i would disagree with saying we have put an end to isil because it is not the first wave of the hundreds who were arrested before and the fighters are on recruitment. it is good news. it is good news that the awedsaudi authorities have foiled attacks, the 400-plus terrorists. but they are still attracting others. >> that's a risk clearly 400 young soldiers have taken a manifesto that could destroy the kingdom. we have to admit we have a problem and we have to deal with it. >> the political editor at the middle east magazine based here in the u.k. thank you for coming in to al jazeera. interesting, the timing of this

announcement about all of those arrests coming so soon after the iran nuclear deal this week. >> that's one aspect of it. the second aspect of it, the saudi king met the leader of hamas, the palestinian group a few days ago, and obviously, there is some question in the middle east in the emirates in egypt, the country with terrorists. again, the timing is interesting, is an assurance that awed e arabia is with its allies. thirdly, the end of ramadani eid. and there was an expectation that terrorists might do something. thank god, they didn't. so that again, boosting the confidence of the people that the security forces have. the arrests are actually taking place over four months now. >> exactly.

which is why it's interesting that they waited until now to actually announce the arrests had been made. what is all of the show about the threat that saudi arabia faces at the moment? >> well let's not forget that between november and now about 400 people in saudi arabia were killed or injured in terrorist attacks, in mosques, where two car bombs killed people. the king himself, when he was still the governor of ryad someone went where he was and with their opinion, to know someone came in and blew themselves up. so, the danger. i mean people forget that saudi arabia does have an establishment and a very society that would use ideas. but it is under threat more than any other countries. so, the number of attacks, car

bombs in saudi arabia over last four years would have appeared to hav in the rest. how does isil differ today? to take over some from saudi arabia. isil is different. isil actually managed to find a place in any state and a proving ground, for people to go from there. making it illegal for people go and join any cause whatsoever and fit. some of the people arrested by the airports and crossing points not just rounded up and some of them were arrested outside of mosques over six or seven weeks after friday prayers. so, it's a threat, israel from isil and then the attacks which

others attracted by isil ideology and very difficult for any service to follow and find them. >> thank you so much? >> thank you. >> iran's supreme leader has accused washington of arrogance in his first speech since the historic nuclear deal was signed with world powers. he was speaking before tens of thousands who chanted death to america and death to israel. he told them iran would not change its behavior and would continue to support, quote, honest fightners lebanon and palestine. >> whether the deal is approved or sgrovd we would never stop supporting our friends in the region and our friends in palestine, syria, iraq lebanon, even after the deal policy towards the arrogant u.s. will not change. of course we don't welcome a war.

we won't begin or pre-empt a war but if a war happens here, the one who will exit with humiliation is the atrocious america. >> rouhanni has spoken about the nuclear agreement and hose it will improve relations. writing on his twitter account, he singled out closer relations saying he had spoken to the ruler of the gulf state. >> the nuclear agreement with iran is seen as a major success for the u.s. president barack obama and one of a string of recents achievements that will help to secure his legacy. patty culhane reports from washington, d.c. >> you can even see it in the way he walks. suddenly for u.s. president barack obama, fired up seems like more than a campaign slogan. that's clear after he explained his mood in a recent radio. >> i know what i am doing and i am fearless. >> to many t seems the president

blunt when he thinks he needs to be? >> that's nonsense. and you should know better. >> his to do list isn't done. it's possible he will be able to get through criminal justice reforms, reducing sentences for non-violent drug offenders and still working on finalizing the transpacific partnership a free trade agreement that would impact 40% of the global economy. analysts say what the president and his staff have probably figured out by now that often presidential legacies are shaped by event did outside of their control. >> when it comes to foreign policy, obviously everything is unpredictable, so much that is out of his control. what other world leaders do is out of his control. terrorist attacks are out of his control. >> the president faces challenges, the fight against isil, the rebuilding of iraq the civil war in syria, the stand-off in ukraine and he need needs to get the iran deal past congress and figure out if he will do more than threaten israel with the possibility of supporting palestine at the united nations. this is a president who realizes the clock is ticking, hoping he can tick off a few more

african-american church. scuffles broke out afterwards when the confederate flag supporters were led away from the capitol building. hundreds of people had turned out to protest against the kkk rally. from al jazeera, from columbia what's it like there at the moment may? >> it's ease away because the ku klux klan have been escorted away from the capitol building. they arrived with a police escort through a crowd of several hundred people and in fact, as they made their way, there were a number of bottles and rocks thrown at the kkk and their supporters one striking a man in his head. he was obviously wounded. by that incident there arewere a number of minor skirmishes after that action people who were fighting and one state, a

confederate flag was snappedtched was taken away and ripped up. the police handled things very well. they were quickly on any sign of disquiet, any sign of arguments, and they made sure that the kkk stayed for an hour and then escorted them off of the steps of the capitol building to the buses that were waiting to take them to the car parks where they had gathered. there was probably no more than 100 of them, but by then this was about freedom of speech. this was about declaring their heritage and saying removing the flag because it was linked to the shooting was perhaps in charleston, was perhaps a step too far and they want to make their voices heard. well, they did that. about 400 people in the crowd beyond them had their voices heard that the kkk wasn't welcome here. >> we know that the kkk attracts big headlines. just how big is this group these

days? >> i think the numbers are probably greater than they expected. certainly t wasn't just numbers of the ku klux klan but other white supremacy organizations on the steps of the capitol building in columbia. if you go back to 1925, the kkk has a membership of 4 million people in the united states. in the 1960s when the civil rights movement was at its height it could perhaps be somewhere in the region of 400,000. now according to the southern poverty group they say it can be no more than 4,000. they were loud. they were vocal. they wanted to make sure their message was heard. they insisted, the one or two i spoke to was that this was not a message of hate. they didn't hate anyone. they didn't want to do anything damage but they wanted their heritage recognized. their history, they said can't be swept away. the people that were on the steps surrounding the kkk also want to make sure pair their point was heard and that was that they weren't welcome here

would tell you are: give us hope is that the rule of law, investigations by federal prosecutors that are seen with federal judges that are respected, they are proceeded for the first time, we have a clear x-ray of corruption in brazil at high levels and the expectation of impunity that once existed in brazil is no longer here so this is positive in terms of the rule of law but the picture ahead in the short-term, even in the medium term, is very very challenging for the president, for all political leaders. >> all right. the situation s thanks so much for giving us your thoughts on what's happening in brazil. >> thank you. >> now australia is home to an estimated 300,000 wild camels and there are calls for a new cull to stop those numbers from getting out of trouble.
