there is an angry editorial from "the guardian," which says saudi prince mohammed bin salman has gone to great lengths to revive movie theaters and give an appearance of rights to women, this appears to be a "window dressing" for the real repression going on there. editors deplore the treatment of women treated as second-class citizens in saudi arabia, and say these female activists must be congratulated for finally taking a stand. genie: "the guardian" also looks at the situation in sweden, where millions of households were sent "prepare for war." dheepthika: this is worrying. swedish authorities have been sending -- they are not evenly flits. they are 20 page booklets, public information booklets, in which citizens are warned about fleeing their homes in case of attacks,r, or terror crime and change conflicts, and given a briefing about fake news. it is the first time since the second world war that swedish authorities are sending these information booklets to citizens. the reason for there were he appears to be russia. after the annexation of crimea -- the reason for their worry ap

most americans got their first glimpse of crown prince mohammed bin salman during his cross-country tour just a few weeks ago. we were fortunate to have an early opportunity to hear him during our december visit. we had already checked out of our hotel, the four seasons, by the way, and met with the prince just before our departure. he had provocative ideas on about everything from how to confront iran to his potential relationship between saudi arabia and israel. but what was most fascinating to us was his ideas on internal saudi matters and especially for the need of a more moderate response. for as long as i can remember, saudi arabia was synonymous with a harsh, extreme, intolerant form of islam. to hear this leader talk about the need to change that mindset, to risk institutions of stream is and to preach a more tolerant form of islam conjured up two words. cognitive dissonance. still we left hopeful. it is one thing to talk. tonight, our guest is responsible for walking the walk. his excellency is the secretary general of the muslim world league. founded in 1962 and based in mecca,

mohammed bin slaman -- salman is being cautious. relianceee saudi is in bringing washington and israel and saudi arabia together. they canill feel deliver a peace deal to the middle east, i wish i could have your optimism. i think you are delusional, alan. melinda: i want to take us back to our topic of europe's role. i mentioned a soundbite of angela merkel. let's look at that. she has rather self-critical remarks to make during her first speech to the parliament after being sworn in again. europe is directly impacted by this situation. at the same time, we have not done enough to work out a political solution to this dispute. i acknowledge this. i have no delusions about the complexity of this situation, but i believe we must become more involved in resolving this dispute, and germany will do that. i guess you agree germany should be more because you wrote in your book on female diplomacy, and you referred to it in your opening statement about damage control, but what exactly would that mean in this case? what concretely should ge

remember the billboards in london when saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman visited in march?e was changing saudi arabia. some things it seems aren't changing. three more women's rights activists have been arrested, 11 in total have been detained since last week. most of them campaigned for women's right to drive, which in theory is going to arrive in a few weeks' time. loujain hathloul is one of them, she has a big social media presence in the country. @ana3rabeya nora abdulkarim, a saudi—american activist, has highlighted the front page of okaz newspaper, it had a full—page feature of arrested saudi women's rights activists, branding them as "traitors" with "no place among us". it states that sources predict sentences up to 20 years for what it says are 6 violations of a royal decree. it's worth noting these activists are also opposed the male guardianship system, where women have to be accompanied by or receive written permission from a male guardian if they want to travel, work or access healthcare. here's hanan razek from bbc arabic. voicing concern over these latest arre

the timing, i think the timing of this is interesting, look, they have made this big play, mohammed bin salman american networks, saying he was a champion of women's rights, and that things needed to change, then he made the announcement they would be allowed to drive, and now the government is clamping down and locking up these detainees. a lot of people think that it detainees. a lot of people think thatitis detainees. a lot of people think that it is being made clear to them that it is being made clear to them that this right to drive is being given by authorities, being granted by the king and the crown prince, and that social activism is not going to win people more rights. so there is reform, but only going to a certain extent. not good pr, though, is it? part of the principle of this reform is to encourage business and investment in saudi arabia, this big vision, he wants new money to come in as they diversify away from oil, and you cannot say you are reforming if you are looking up the people pushing for reform. i guess it will be and how much publicity in america this story gets, the

cautious in the coming several months >> what do you think of some of the comments that prince mohammed bin salmanas made with the united states he called the supreme leader as the equivalent of hitler and made some other comments that might suggest -- >> i think hitler is unique enough to leave him aside. the iranians are bad enough without comparing them to hitler mbs impresses everyone with the scope of looking and vision, but he's only 31 years old, 32 years old. not highly experienced he's campaigning in yemen, and even the arrest of all the financial elite at the ritz carlton, it's something that looks like a great idea that evac rates over the next 30 days it doesn't seem that he still has the kind of controls i hope -- i'm encouraged by his attitude to israel, basically tells the emirates and others have a fresh look at the situation. israel is not a part of the problem but a part of the solution but they cannot move forward without seeing israel moving forward on the palestinian issue. not bay they have a lot of favor with the palestinians, but because the public has, and they cannot feel
