members of the saudi elite, all elcused of corruption, now locked up in this luxury hotel. critics say the prince is targeting his detractors. he's also reined in the country's religious police. they still patrol the streets and even told me to cover my heir with a scarf. he's saying i should cover my hair? but these days they can only hand out advice, not punishments. it seems to be popular, but this bl not a democratic revolution. and publicly criticizing the crown prince would be dangerous. musaaid al mujahid is a traditional sword seller and a diplomat. >> all people is happy. i like him. so much. believe me. >> reporter: the saudi royal ivmily has long depended on the support of conservative islamic clerics to rule this country. the question now is whether these reforms will spark a oncklash. >>thony? >> mason: holly williams in riyadh, thanks.
