you ♪ ♪ in the office i'm going around and around and around ♪ ♪ here comes baby voldemort, look at him fall down ♪ welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i've joined john. i'm natalie allen. >> saudi's king abdullah is dead the age of 90. >> yemen with no apartmtpparent leader in charge. we'll look at that. later, this priceless relic has been damaged, maybe forever. we have'll tell you what happened.

thank you again for joining us. a new era begins today in saudi arabia as the country has a new king but many say they don't expect much to change. king abdullah who ruled the nation for nearly a decade has died. >> the 90-year-old monarch had been ill in recent weeks. he went to hospital with pneumonia. he assumed the throne in 2005 after the death of his half brother, king faud. >> the saudi royal court named the crown prince king abdullah's half brother and has been the country's defense minister since 2012. >> he's believed to be 79 years old. served five decades as the governor of riyadh province. he's named his half brother as crown prince and heir. >> the indian prime minister is mourning king abdullah's death, along with many leaders around the world.

he tweeted this a short time ago, our thoughts are with the people of saudi arabia who have lost a guiding force in king abdullah during this hour of grief. u.s. president barack obama is remembering abdullah as a leader who pushed his country toward greater engagement with the modern world. vice president joe biden will lead a delegation to pay respects. in a statement, mr. obama said it is with deep respect i express my personal condolences and the sympathies of the american people. i always valued king abdullah's perspective and appreciated our genuine and warm friendship. may god grant him peace. >> more now on the death of the saudi king and what it may mean for the country and the region. we're joined by former secretary-general who is on the phone in switzerland. thank you for being with us. tell us your reaction when you

first heard the news that king abdullah had died, and what do you think it may mean? >> when the king was -- he was a highly respected ruler that has led his country into the 21st century developments. the king will be remembered in the peace efforts when he led and proposed the arab initiative for peace back in 2002. >> tavis the arab peace initiative with the israelis where they offered them a complete peace deal with every country in the mideast to go back to the 1967 boarders a peace deal the israelis rejected. >> yeah, that's right. he was a driving force, a very

positive driving force within the arab world towards peace, towards helping each other. as for the relations with egypt, i must stress that this is a -- [ inaudible ] cooperation and understanding between saudi arabia and egypt. therefore, i expect this will continue and it will be -- >> mr. secretary, one of the greatest achievements many say of king abdullah was that he provided a period of great stability for saudi arabia and also instituting some much-needed reforms that critics

say didn't go for enough. do you have the same confidence that his successor will be able to do that? >> i would really add that his leadership -- [ inaudible ] i believe all those lines shall continue under the new king. i trust he will be very conscious about saudi arabia leadership and the role in the world, in the region and also with bilateral relations with countries like egypt. >> there's been a great deal of attention between saudi arabia and iran a proxy war in many places between these two countries. so given that, and the state of the middle east right now, how

will the countries in the region be remembering king abdullah when it comes to a region as a whole? >> yes, indeed. it has geopolitical considerations. [ inaudible ] i expect the policy from king abdullah will continue to be the basic line. >> we appreciate you being with us the former secretary of the arab league. natalie? >> let's get more now on this story. we're joined live from amman, jordan. what do we expect in the next few hours after the king has died? >> reporter: well natalie, here's what we know. in about six hours from now,

about 3:00 p.m. local time in saudi arabia the funeral of king abdullah is scheduled to take place at the mosque in riyadh followed by his burial at the cemetery in an unmarked grave. now, we are hearing about world leaders and dignitaries who are making their way to saudi arabia to either attend the funeral or pay their respects to the saudi royal family and to the kingdom. so far, king abdullah of jordan cut short his visit to davos and is on his way to saudi arabia. same for the president of egypt and mahmoud abbas of the palestinian authority and vice president biden will be leading a presidential delegation. also he woulded to saudi arabia to pay their respects. following the burial after evening prayers, the royal court

will be open for top members of the saudi society, for dignitary dignitaries and world leaders, people to pay their respect and for saudis to pledge allegiance to the new king of saudi arabia the half brother of king abdullah. and this is a process that is expected to take several days. natalie? >> we know that the saudi royal family wants this transition to be seamless. is that what is expected? >> reporter: well, many say that this is going to be a smooth transition. the crown prince who is now going to be king has been named a crown prince. also has been named, these are two half brothers of king abdullah. there's not expected to be real issues with this. of course there are concerns about what happens next with the succession there in the -- with the saudi royal family. of course this is very important time here in the region natalie.

of course saudi arabia playing a big role in the region. so there will be a lot of focus on whether there's going to be any change in saudi policy. of course king abdullah known as a very cautious reformer and also playing a big part here in the region with for example, we have seen saudi arabia taking a leading role at the forefront of that u.s.-led coalition in the fight against isis. so there's not much expected to change when it comes to saudi policies. of course all eyes will be on that country, what will happen next? the issue that you brought up earlier in the show that proxy war, that struggle for dominance in the region between saudi arabia and its shia rival in the region iran. something that's impacted a number of countries in this region. will there be any change in these relations that will impact that sunni-shia rift in the

region that is very critical at this point. of course many will be looking at saudi arabia to try and fight the rise of extremism, of radical islam in the region and in the fight against isis not only militarily. saudi arabia plays a big role to try and also cut the funding through individuals of terror organizations and also try and play a moderate role try and bring out more moderate rhetoric and ideology to try to counter that radical ideology. natalie? >> it will be fascinating to watch and see what happens in the region during this transition. thank you. and king abdullah's death coincided with even further turmoil in yemen, just across the border south of saudi arabia. the country is reeling from a string of political

resignations. the president, the prime minister and the cabinet have all resigned under pressure from houthi rebels. >> the rebels control the street and key buildings in the state capital, but it's unclear what role they want going forward. this has caused the united states to draw down its embassy personnel in yemen, citing security concerns. nick paton walsh has more on the crisis. he's in the capital of yemen. >> reporter: a day of stark physical change here in yemen. the president, prime minister and cabinet have, we've heard from multiple sources resigned. this is after days of turmoil here the sound of gunfire, shelling a political deal that seemed to provide a road map ahead, requiring the houthi militia to withdraw and release the president. that looked like it might save the situation, but today it

began to falter. we're hearing the sound of gunfire now. clearly that deal faltered and now the president, prime minister and cabinet no longer want to continue in their roles. a letter put on twitter by the minister of information, former minister of information said they no longer want to be part of what they consider a legal, political process, and wanted no longer a part of what would come now in the future. clearly concerned at the future now. we do not know quite what comes after the president. obviously, the dominant force on the streets have been the houthi. a political movement here possibly some analysts suggest that the speaker of the party, who may assume the role of president in the days ahead. but we haven't heard from the houthis yet. they have been very successful in moving across the capital last year successful in putting great pressure politically and on the streets against this government and now it seems

causing that government to no longer want to continue in its role. a huge issue here for the united states. this is a key ally in the war on terrorism. and now who do they call? the houthis, they're not overtly anti-american here but they may have a challenge forming a relationship with the united states in the days or months ahead. a day of stark change here in yemen, that will have huge consequences. thailand's attorney general's office says it's set to indict former prime minister on a criminal negligence charge on her controversial rice subsidy program. the program wasted billions of party funds. the 47-year-old was ousted from power just before a military coup last year and earlier today in a largely symbolic

move the country's military voted to impeach the former prime minister. she denies any wrong doing. we'll take a short break. when we come back japan await tols hear the fate of two hostages being held by isis. >> another deadline looming to pay ransom to free these hostages. we'll go live to tokyo for the latest, next.

also estimated more than 6,000 isis militants have been killed. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says coalition strikes have stopped their momentum. >> chuck hagel says thousands of isis fighters have been killed. sit believed the terror group has as many as 18,000 in its midst. an apparent deadline for japan to pay isis ransom to free two hostages expired about 30 minutes ago. isis demanded $200 million to release these two men and will reportedly release a statement soon. >> a top japanese official said his country will not yield to the threat of terrorists. japan has been trying to contact isis through a third party to negotiate for the release of the hostages. let's go to will ripley.

he's hive in tokyo. right now it is unthinkable what these families of the hostages are going through. >> reporter: yes. and just like this waiting period has been john the deadline came and went and now even more waiting. only now the waiting is so much more agonizing, because we are, as you said past the 72 hour threshold. this is a situation that japan's top government spokesman called extremely serious. japan has been trying since tuesday to make contact with isis. as of their last update a short time ago, there was no direct line of communication in spite of reaching out to resources on the ground in the middle east and so really it's unclear if isis got the message. japan's public broadcaster nhk claims it did get in touch with the terror group and they report the terror group will be making a statement soon about these two men. however, that hasn't happened. a short time ago, the mother of one of the hostages made an

emotional plea for her son. >> translator: i would like to say to all the members of islamic state, kenji is not an enemy of islamic state. i ask for his release and assure that he went into the islamic world of his own accord. when i talk to his wife she said that two weeks ago, she had had a baby. this was a surprise to me. mother who apparently had not had contact with her son for quite some time. so when she visited his wife it was the first time they had spoken in a number of years and learned they had a newborn baby that now has a father who has fallen into the hands of isis and his fate we just don't know. john? >> will, i guess the question is will this threat by isis and

threat which it seems they'll most likely carry out, because they've done that every time before is this likely to change japan's policy when it comes to its contribution towards its fight against isis? >> japan has said publicly that they will continue to pledge financial support towards isis. japan is a pacifist country. the factor that is unknown is how the public will respond if isis follows through with this threat. the japanese constitution last year was reinterpreted giving the self-defense force the authorization to act in defense of its citizens. so would japan consider sending its defense force in? the prime minister isn't saying anything hike that but if the public tide changed, we could see some geo political implications.

but the concern right now is to get these two men home safely. >> doesn't look good. will ripley live for us in tokyo. a massive european stimulus man announced on thursday has sparked a buying spree across the globe. >> we'll look and see if that can really help repair europe's battered economy. stay with us. when heartburn comes creeping up on you... fight back with relief so smooth... ...it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid

a smooth transition of power is expected in saudi arabia

after the death of king abdullah. the crown prince was made king friday but news of king abdullah's death did cause a surge in world oil prices. we know that saudi arabia has had a big role and quite a voice lately where oil prices have been. >> reporter: that's right. it holds the opec secretary-general role. as the largest oil producing country in the world, saudi arabia was instrumental back in november in the recent decision to keep the current level of oil output unchanged, despite the fact that prices are continuing to fall. that precipitated the price in oil's fall. it's down 60% since the month of june, though it did come back up

quite significantly, largely based on the fact that there are questions whether saudi arabia will continue the economic policy under a new leadership here. so will it continue to keep those production levels at current levels keeping the oil price low on the hope that they can ride out the competition coming from the u.s. shale oil industry. because it's far more expensive to tap shale oil than get oil out of the ground with drilling as saudi arabia does. the thing is saudi arabia wasn't necessarily the only opec member to believe this was the right strategy. there are a number of smaller opec countries that wanted saudi arabia to abdicate a cut here. this pitted saudi arabia against some of the other major oil producing nations of the world. so the big question is will we see tensions, perhaps a change at the helm of opec saudi arabia replacing the current opec secretary-general if we have a change.

that is one of the reason the oil price is going the other direction today. >> you're there in davos, covering the world economic forum. what other things are people talking about there in regards to the king dying and this change in leadership for saudi arabia? >> reporter: it's about 7:30 in the morning and the news broke overnight, as you well know. a number of delegates will be arriving around about now. there's about 40 heads of state that attend every single year. 2500 business leaders and a number from the oil sector. obviously, we'll have a chance to gauge opinion as the delegates begin to arrive. in a couple hours, i'm going to be enterinterviewing prince albert from monaco.

just going back to saudi arabia's role in the economic world at the moment i must stress that oil has been one of the big talking points here this year. the price of oil is currently hovering just shy of $50 a barrel. that presents a lot of issues for a number of heads of big oil companies, but it gives the united states an uplift. it's immediately passed to the consumer and the u.s. is one of the biggest oil producing and consuming nations in the world. >> thank you so much. we look forward to hearing the reaction as they wake up there at the forum. john? >> the european central bank announced a giant bond buying program on thursday to try to kickstart the struggling euro

zone economy. purchases of government and private debt are said to begin in march. it could go even longer if inflation does not reach the ecb's target. markets in asia are all up in positive territory. japan's nikkei up by more than 1%. shanghai up by 0.5%. hong kong also way up in positive territory. again our top story, saudi arabia has a new king following the death of its long-time monarch king abdullah. >> we'll talk to a saudi expert about what the new king brings to the table. that's just ahead. sheila! you see this ball control? you see this right? it's 80% confidence and 64% knee brace. that's more... shh... i know that's more than 100%. but that's what winners give. now bicycle kick your old 401(k) into an ira. i know, i know. listen,

just get td ameritrade's rollover consultants on the horn. they'll guide you through the whole process. it's simple. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided.

half past the hour on the east coast of the united states.

you're watching cnn. >> thank you for joining us. our top stories, funeral services set for this afternoon in riyadh for saudi arabia's king abdullah. he died this morning at the age of 90. the king ascended to the throne after the death of his half brother in 2005. now his half brother,salman has been appointed king. >> a seismic shift in yemen's political scene after the president, prime minister and cabinet resigned under pressure from houthi rebels. signing this new unrest the u.s. is drawing down its embassy personnel personnel. >> the american led coalition fighting isis is having a devastating impact on the terror group. the u.s. ambassador to iraq estimates more than 6,000 militants have been killed including half of the top command of isis. an apparent deadline expired

for japan to pay $200 million to save two japanese hostages. isis is expected to release a statement soon. the japanese government has been trying to contact isis through a third party ahead of the deadline. more now on the death of saudi king abdullah. the 90-year-old has been ruling saudi arabia long before he was crowned more than nine years ago. >> he led the kingdom through a period of historic reform. he was there during the arab spring uprising in many neighboring countries. more details now from nic robertson. >> reporter: king abdullah's a ascent to the saudi throne ushered in great expectations.

now is the time modernizers hoped saudi arabia would slowly shed some of its ultraconservative values. improve women rights broaden political freedoms. king abdullah was the sixth saudi monarch. his father was the country's first ruler, unifying the desert kingdom in 1932. on his death in 1952 succession past to his sons. the eldest first. by the time he took the throne king abdullah was already in his 80s. in nearly a decade of ruling on behalf of his brother, he began opening the door to reform. the events of september 11 2001 crystallized the choice before the saudi royal family. 15 of the 19 al qaeda hijackers who attacked the united states

were saudis. and al qaeda was also targeting the saudi establishment and its allies. under abdullah's leadership the country slowly squashed al qaeda, forcing the remnants underline, and sidelining radical preachers. at the same time the king began investing the country's oil wealth in creating jobs for the future. embarking on a massive building program. king abdullah economic city just one of several such mega projects creating cities from the ground up. providing not just accommodation for a workforce, but new industries an acknowledgement that oil money wouldn't last forever. the king focused on ramping up

education. when conservatives criticized his reforms, some were removed. but he was creating ripples of discontent. some of his more conservative ministers, his half brothers bridled at his changes. they weren't the only saudis disappointed with his leadership. many women had hoped for greater independence under his rule the right to drive. but their dreams were not realized during his lifetime. he initiated forums for women to debatish shoes but failed in the face of critics to give them real freedom. inside saudi, there were limits to what he could achieve. but beyond the boarders he saw the kingdom's stature grow. also becoming the lead arab nation in the u.s.-led coalition to eradicate the ultraradical isis group from iraq and syria. he bolstered the desert

kingdom's defense forces with a massive $150 billion spend. and backed egypt's military rulers crushing the political islamists, the islamic brotherhood, who he saw as a threat to saudi arabia. he became the first guardian of islam's two holiest sites, to meet the pope. despite saudi arabia's own relatively conservative and seemingly xenophobic interpretation of the koran, he preached religious tolerance. he will be remembered by many as being a few paces ahead. >> joining me now is the author of "on saudi arabia its people past religion fault lines and future." thank you so much for being with us. i want to talk with you we just

heard nic robertson's story about this king and where he was able to reform. where do you think -- how do you think he'll be remembered as a reformer in saudi arabia? >> i think his opening for women, despite the fact as nic said they did not achieve the right to drive, the most significant change that will last in the kingdom that he brought about will be the role of women and the king abdullah scholarship, sending 150,000 young saudis out of the country for education. when those young people come back they may be the solution to the kingdom's problems. they may be the kingdom's newest problem. >> yes, that will be interesting to watch. you interviewed him. what did you think of him personally? >> king abdullah when i met him

was crown prince in 1982. he was a very you know humble approachable individual. he invited me to some camel races in saudi arabia where the winner got a big water tank. but he just seemed like a very kindly man, not full of himself. >> you wrote a book on saudi arabia. what was it about the country and its, you know ways of being repressed, compared to the modern world, took you aback outside of the obvious issues regarding women? >> well what is really interesting about the country is how stable is it?

all the openings the team tried to make each step forward produced a strong pull back w5rd by the conservatives, so that there was a constant tug of war. that has eased in recent years because the king himself has been less a reformer since the arab spring. the focus in saudi arabia has been on stability and not allowing too much freedom of talk and freedom of movement. so the society has become somewhat more repressed and i think that trend will continue with kingsalman because he's a more conservative man most saudis believe than king abdullah. and he has -- always had, because he's been governor of riyadh for 50 years, and that is

the center of conservatism that he's much closer to the religious people and they will have more influence on him. >> i'm sure many people are focusing on saudi arabia right now as we learn about his death and this transition. so perhaps they will want to read your book to find out more about the country. we thank you, karen el. >> very interesting to say he was just a regular guy. not full of himself. >> he didn't want people to kiss him on the hand. >> very humble. for a king. >> for being so rich. less than 1% of the population in south korea identifies as being muslim. >> that makes it even more surprising that a teenager from the country may, in fact join the ranks of isis. >> that story is come up here.

almost one hour has passed since an apparent deadline set by isis. they have demanded $200 million to free two hostages. isis will release a statement soon. japan's government calls the situation extremely severe but will keep working to try to win the hostage's release. officials want to find a south korean teenager who disappeared while on holiday in

turkey. they fear he may be the first from south korea to join the ranks of isis. cnn's paula hancox has the story. >> reporter: south korea is not a country you equate with muslim fundamentalism. police say a 17-year-old south korean teenager who went missing in turkey this month may have joined the islamic militant group isis. if so he would be the first known recruit from this country. identified only by his surname, kim, police say he traveled to turkey on the 8th of january. january 10th kim disappeared from his hotel after breakfast according to police. records show he made two phone calls to unknown numbers. checking his computer and social media back home kim's sympathies for isis became

clear. police found hundreds of searches related to the group and photos of isis fighters. one message reads, how to join isis. does anyone know? i want to join isis. in other posts, kim said he believes men are being discriminated against and he hates feminists. one reason he gives for liking the militant group. police say kim was in contact with a man called hasan, who they believe he was going to meet in turkey. footage shows kim getting into a taxi with syrian number plates and being dropped off three miles from the border. it is there the trail goes cold. police say at this point, they can't be certain that kim has, in fact joined isis. they say his parents were completely oblivious to his sympathies and are in a very fragile state.

>> reporter: prince andrew in his first official engagement since he was implicated in a serious sexual misconduct case. the message, business as usual. buckingham palace has denied that he had any form of sexual relationship with a then teenager virginia roberts. then he took an unprecedented step for a royal. addressing the issue directly himself. be it briefly. >> firstly, i think i must, for the record ref to the events that have taken place in the last few weeks. and i just wish to reiterate and to reaffirm the statements which have already been made on my behalf by buckingham palace. >> reporter: prince andrew the duke of york 54 years old and fifth in line to the throne. he's queen elizabeth's second

son and often represents her at engagements. but his personal life has often been tabloid fodder starting with his marriage to sarah ferguson in 1986. they had two daughters, but divorced after ten years. pictures had appeared of ferguson's affair with her financial adviser. the prince went on to travel the world as a british trade ambassador. paid for by the government and earning him the nickname air miles andy. in an interview in 2010 andrew described his jetsetting lifestyle. >> it's a fact of life. in order to do what i do for the uk and uk business, i have to travel. that's it. it's one of those unfortunate, as it were tags that one has to put up with. >> reporter: on the way, he

formed controversial corrections with the likes of gadhafi, son of the libyan dictator. but it was his friendship with the billionaire banker and convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein that led to his resignation. in 2011 when epstein had just been released from prison andrew tried to move on from it saying the friendship has been a mistake. virginia roberts filed legal papers in florida, claiming to have been used as an underage sex slave by epstein and forced to have sex with prince andrew between 1999 and 2002 and an orgy at epstein's home. although prince andrew isn't facing legal action it is

awkward and damaging. but he's addressed it and will be hoping to move on. max foster, cnn. president obama is working to get his state of the union message out on social media, so he met thursday with three youtube stars. >> they did ask some serious questions but also had a little fun with the president. >> i have three family members who are in law enforcement. and my husband, he's retired from the air force. >> we're grateful for his service. tell him thank you. >>ly do that. however, he's mad at me because i cut all the hoods off his hoodies. i did. i did that for real. >> i understand. >> i did that to protect him. i'm afraid when he goes outside somebody might shoot to kill him. >> the overwhelming majority of police officers are doing a really tough job and doing it
