particular to key roles so it's hard to interpret at this stage these latest announcements the national guard position. dollar is obviously very significant in terms of national security is that linked to the dramatic story of the ballistic missile hitting riyadh we know you have the impression that it probably is not connected because it's being announced as part of a bundle of of changes at the top on the economy. there is very intense attention being paid to the saudi economy and these dramatic and ambitious plans at the moment we've had donald trump the u.s. president appealing to the saudis to do list or run care of the national oil company the new york stock exchange the stakes are very very high what's fascinating is that while all this is going on there's a lot of. public relations going on to a lot of a lot of spin access to journalist access for for him through an scholefield goes an international business men in particular the the heart of what happens in saudi arabia the heart of the system remains opaque it's not transparent and that is the strange strange situation where we're i

saying no is not part of the culture of the nebraska national guard. when the nation calls, there is no hesitation. they go where the mission requires them to go. at this very moment, you can find nebraska's soldiers and airmen deployed all across the globe, protecting our great nation. whether it is the dozens of guards men and women who are currently conducting detainee operations at guantanamo bay or those preparing to deploy next year to key positions in the pacific and the middle east, our guard stands ready to answer the call. the guard is also playing an important role in working with our allies abroad. since 1993 the nebraska national guard has been linked with the czech republic through the state partnership program. as eastern europe emerged from the heavy hand of communism, the nebraska national guard was there working side by side with their military to collaborate, share, and assist, forging a lasting bond that remains strong to this day. this year marks the 25th anniversary of that partnership, and we are all extremely proud of the work ou

his father former king abdullah before he became king he was also head of the national guard so since its stablish meant in one thousand nine hundred eighty two the national guard has been held by abdullah and his son now the new crown prince just put all of that aside and is doing his own a new assignment so he's really changing things around but not only within the kingdom so right before he made his major first changes in order to become crown prince he launched the war in yemen when he was defense minister so all in all while he's making major shifts and dramatic shifts with indicating them he's also making them within the region and of course that leads us neatly to the next question which is this attack apparently against saudi arabia missiles being launched from yemen's territory vis is a wake up call is it not for about the whole policy in the yemen which way do they go now today we saw this new dramatic change in what i would like to call or what the even they they're calling a new balance of terror between the saudis and the whole thing's whereby the whole thing is not

and the minister for economy the head of the national guard the ministers for economy and planning have also been replaced in a cabinet shakeup and our other top story this hour lebanon's prime minister saad hariri has resigned accusing iran of sowing strife in the arab world and saying you feel his life is in danger ari made the surprise announcement in the saudi capital riyadh. and other stories we're following new zealand's prime minister is due to meet our australian counterpart on sunday for the first time since the election win last month just done as expected to reiterate our predecessors offer of excepting up to one hundred fifty refugees decommissioned mannus island detention center and papa new guinea about six hundred men have barricaded themselves inside this camp food running water and medical services were cut off by australia four days ago a treatment to spot protests in many australian cities with more than a found people demonstrating in sydney earlier on andrew thomas was at the protest . the central message of this protest is bring them here the refugees who were

of the navy were replaced but perhaps the most prominent official removed was the head of the national guard prince. abdullah he's the son of the late king abdullah and was considered a contender to the throne it's a move that's widely seen as consolidating the power of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon who heads a new anti corruption committee his father king solomon elevated him in the line of succession just four months ago the chant as a car is assistant professor of gulf politics a cattle university he says that the moves appear to be an attempt to rule out any challenges to the current line of succession. well i think this is from the very beginning it was a struggle for power for succession since the beginning of this crisis i kept saying that since the very beginning so this is another movement in order to guarantee that the transition to warm home in sun will be peaceful and nobody is going to challenge that transition in the future internally speaking neither externally but the means of this all the different branches of the army will be controlled by the same people. in this b

of the navy were replaced but perhaps the most prominent official removed was the head of the national guard prince might have been a he's the son of the late king abdullah and was once considered a contender to the throne it's a move that's widely seen as consolidating the power of the crown prince mohammed bin salman who heads a new anti corruption committee his father king solomon elevated him in the line of succession just four months ago well in other developments in saudi arabia the military has shot down a long range ballistic missile over riyadh the missile was fired from yemen towards the saudi capital's airport who the rebels say that they're behind the attack very on a home and reports. it's not the first time who the rebels have fired long range missiles across the border at saudi arabia but this missile appears to have travelled the furthest hundreds of kilometers deep into saudi heartland and only taken down close to king khalid international airport on the outskirts of the capital riyadh. the official saudi news agency is p.r.a. said saudi forces fired a surface to air patriot

afford his popularity one of the most high profile figures pushed out is the minister of the national guard prince metabo bin of dollar he was the son of former king of dollar and once thought to be next in line to the throne he was the remaining member of the abdullah family in such a high level position. also detained is prince will lead bin tell out he's one of the wealthiest men in the world and given his widespread investments is detainment could have an impact on global business. this shakeup sends a message there's a new political order but only do we have a new chapter opening up in saudi arabia we have a whole new book a whole new political i bet if you will accept i mean with one exception that's still all done in secrecy it's also a reminder that for months after the crown prince was named heir to the throne there can be no mistake mohammed bin selman is the future for saudi arabia natasha going eight zero zero we saw him briefly and that's ashes report there let's bring in once again i was in a senior political analyst now and bashara what's your take on what's really going on i

the national guard looked in two thousand and fifteen had been said and i became minister of defense. just few months ago he became the head of all the internal. security forces because they got rid of the crown prince. knife and now he took control of the third most important security apparatus within the country so he has a defense in control of interior and now in control of the guards you see he's he's ambitious he's been accused of being reckless we've got the war in yemen the blockade against cata all these changes that are going on internally in saudi arabia including things like you know the lifting of the the ban on women driving and wanting to change the focus of islam. bitten off more than he can chew as we would say in slang what is he thinking you know but not. i took a look i'm sharing this just between you and i this is an admission ok i don't want to know about it but i spent all night until three watching saudi television three a.m. three am sort of watching so you and i walk up at eight am also watching so you tell of all the various channels clearly he has the state

since this establishment in one thousand nine hundred two the national guard has been led either by king abdullah before he was king or by his son so you can imagine for over half a century there is a spin a certain continuity in the kingdom also went on the new king comes in while the establish their own cabinet but they do not step all over other members of the family or other centers of power within the kingdom why won't we saw here just a few months ago when the crown crown prince got rid of his boss basically the crown prince in order to become crown prince so really all in all i think we've seen mohammed and. of course the king making a new strides making major changes in the kingdom not paying attention to the conservative wing or to the wing or to the traditional way of doing politics or doing business in the kingdom so all in all really dramatic changes happening and continue to happening saudi arabia but also as we've been speaking to throughout the day it's connected with saudi arabia's regional policy as well and so then how much of a gamble is this you are saying tha

national guard was a contract. offer and the amount of fifteen billion dollars which means that for example the order national was. just another example the arrest the head of the navy which is a member of the member of the certain part of the family. to that for example the father of the rest assigned all the government contracts for the last forty years which means that it's not quite impossible to think that it would have read just after the rest i mean a lot tougher for a moment company would become in the months coming so it's a very disturbing campaign which could be we could have you know a significant effect it side the country but also outside action what do you what are your views on this how are you saying it from. anything he says about a lose lose situation initially we thought that you know this is fine man only about part of an attempt for centralization of power he was using the context of bottom and crushing policies in all that was urged. his political opponents your first bunch of moves i just me

charlie cole and the national guard -- charlie: the national guard has been led by the of do love familythe king who died a year or two ago. for years, that was the power base. and all of a sudden, they replaced the national guard. >> the national guard in saudi arabia is the most effective military branch, best trained. it has always had the primary role of protecting the royal family. by ousting him and putting in crown princethe prono has basically taken over the security forces, so it would be hard for anyone to challenge him. this is in many ways the less shocking. -- the most shocking. charlie: thank you so much. we will be right back. stay with us. charlie: his 2016 film became the highest grossing film in new zealand history, despite a budget of $2.5 million. his new film, "thor: ragnarok." in the new film, the norse god teams up with hulk to team up -- to save his planet from the evil sister. the writers at rolling stone say this may be the most fun you have any marvel movie. for that reason, here is the trailer. ♪ >> so much has happened since i last saw you. i lost my hammer,

came first, before the reshuffle, before he changed the national guard.he national guard was kind of the last major power center that was not under the control of the crown prince himself. now really every lever of power inside saudi arabia is directly controlled by him and his allies. of course, we have no sense, no way of telling what these corruption charges specifically refer to, or whether the people are guilty. the fact that it includes senior princes, and the sweeping nature of this, is remarkable. and quite surprising. yousef: just for context, a political earthquake like, this possibly trumps what we saw over the summer back in june when everybody was already saying that the fact that he had the deputy crown prince moving to crown prince, it clears the way for the ultimate ascension of the throne. this is a much bigger deal. it hits so me different sectors. riad: exactly. the drama in the summer was over one person. hen as deputy crown prince, was the main power everyone was watching. he are he had a lot of the levers of power under him. the move

his father former king abdullah before he became king he was also head of the national guard so since it's established in one thousand nine hundred eighty two the national guard has been held by abdullah and his son now the new crown prince just put all of the aside and he's doing his own new assignment so he's really changing things around but not only within the kingdom so right before he made his major first changes in order to become crown prince he launched the war in yemen when he was defense minister so all in all while he's making major shifts and dramatic shifts with indicating them he's also making them within the region and of course that leads us neatly to the next question which is this attack apparently against saudi arabia missiles being launched from yemen's territory vis is a wake up call is it not for riyadh about the whole policy in the yemen and which way do they go now today we saw this new dramatic change in what i would like to call or what even they they're calling a new balance of terror between the saudis and the host these where. the years are able to

those reportedly detained and then there are those who've been dismissed the minister of the national guard prince met bin abdullah was the first to really removed on king solomon's orders he is the son of the late king abdullah making him one of the most prominent princes on the list he was the last senior royal in government not closely connected with king sound man or his son and heir to the throne mohammed bin man also out is the minister of economy and planning been mohamed faqir an engineer and the former mayor of jed them. insult on assault on was the commander of the saudi navy this road to create ordered him to retire i did a senior political analyst model under sharia says the hoodie miss are highlights the missteps saudi arabia made with the war in yemen. today we saw this new dramatic change in what i would like to call or what even they they're calling a new balance of terror between the saudis and the whole things where i was not able to shoot ballistic missiles not only the goal is a thousand kilometers towards mecca but also more than that longer than that the worse we are t

has also been a major shake up of saudi arabia's cabinet national guard minister prince method in our allies among those five he was the last senior roiling government not closely connected with king sound man or his son and heir to the throne mohammed and seven . u.s. president donald trump is meeting with japan's prime minister shinzo abyei kickstarting his asia trip trouble also visit south korea china vietnam in the philippines trying to build support for his stuff tough stance on north korea or staying in japan korean schools there are facing hostility as north korea continues its missile tests and threats to destroy the country if there's a nuclear war. for us. there are sixty korean schools in japan attended by thousands of students seventeen year old huang song we is one of them each time there are headlines about north korea's latest missile test the school receives anonymous bomb threats huang says there is confusion about news coming from and about pyongyang. that there are i get mixed feelings honestly speaking i cannot deny all the news reports we see on t.v. because we d

the same night as several princes were detained in a new anti-corruption crackdown that of the national guard the economy minister and the head of the navy have all been replaced billionaire investor prince. is among the taint and other developments out of saudi arabia the military is shot down a long range ballistic missile over riyadh and the missile was fired from yemen towards the saudi capital's airport the rebels say they're behind that attack. u.s. president donald trump is in japan at the first stop on his tall day asia tour met with prime minister shinzo ave for lunch and a round of golf trump asia tour the longest in the region by a u.s. president in twenty five years will include south korea china vietnam and the philippines iran has accused saudi arabia the u.s. and israel of trying to fuel tension after the sudden resignation of lebanon's prime minister sabri to resign while in the saudi capital riyadh he did this on saturday he's accused iran of sowing strife in the arab world iran says everybody is playing a game designed by those who want ill for the region up on the guinea is

as the minister of the national guard and the son of former king this is i think a totally different ballgame this is more related to the earlier dismissal of muhammad bin nayef and it's more related to it but i would describe it as a palace coup you know the dismissal of. a few months ago. now of the second if you will internal competitor and i'm sorry to jump in there and interrupt you but to actually want to hear. from now from the saudi led coalition speaking in riyadh it's a big salute to the civil defense people who have done that again as the markets and. the statements. made. have been phased and some sharpness dropped in the eastern part of king international. and this has been done in smooth the way this grave escalation from the militant both is. supported by the iranian regime in supporting both is with the let's stick mistrials. riyadh has slept last night in comfort and. way due to this day. forces it's. now we will go together through. and. that will show you. the support given to the whole fits the militant fold that in order to spread chaos in the region and. to long

one of the components that came from the national guard was a medical component. so the 95th civil support team out of hayward, a w.m.d. for the national guard, a great partner with the fire service in the bay area the last 20, 30 years, medical component, and augment a medical suite with 550 people. basically come in, and in an hour a tent set up and receiving patients. e.r. doctors. even in the event of a disaster, say an earthquake. we learned lots there. lots of players coming in. we practiced mutual aid system from local level going all the way up to the state and federal level to come in and deal with a radiological incident if it were to happen here in the san francisco bay area. >> thank you very much. chief, did you want to add something? ok, did you want to add something, chief williams? >> i just want to acknowledge that assistant deputy chief's hard work in the planning and preplanning, a lot of agencies participated and i was able to observe the suppression portion of this and he was able to observe the military portion over on treasure island trainin

a regular national guard at random just to continue a point you were making i mean basically power in saudi arabia has always been sort of shared or at least give it out between various branches of the royal family so a balance was kind of achieve that balance now seems to be gone i mean deal think that there will be any kickback against the m.p.'s so do you think he will be able to do what he has done effectively accumulate all the power for himself well because i don't like him that any future prince will be able to challenge him in many a future simply because the ones who commanded a military base are or where in charge of the intelligence services i or me or our domestic security are all gone and if he continues to them under house arrest. media then we're not going to have a challenge from within the saudi royal family if we look at society in comment of a man who was determined to silence all voices of dissent or even any noise that actually provides a mild criticism of his policies and therefore he chose this anti corruption slogan which is always good done it with good intent

prince, denniswn king, he maintain the national guard as an alternative to the army.he way he reached out traditional tribal leaders, power centers, in the kingdom. , who had a network of personal and tribal loyalties, how do you make sure that decision stays loyal to you, the crown prince. ? that is the kind of thing there is not a good answer today. there is an internal security service, a foreign intelligence service known as the gip, who will control those services? are those professionals going to feel comfortable in this new environment? we don't know yet. careful aso be very he tries to establish greater control that he does not create new problems. charlie: where is the crown prince he overthrew in all this, because he is under house arrest? david: the former crown prince has essentially disappeared. he was replaced suddenly last summer by mbs. charlie: which was the first move, in fact. david: it was the first move in consolidation, the power play. he wanted to be sure that he would be able to succeed his .ather, king's outline he does have a vision for where

. >> 27 years, army, national guard, and active guard reserve. >> reporter: it is considered a volunteer service organization, recognized as an honor guard, and is authorized by the department of defense to render military honors. they just want to do what they can to help. >> over the years, the mission has stayed the same, but the man -- manpower has diminished, especially with the conflicts, erect, afghanistan, we are augmentation, if the guard shows up, or air force, or the navy, to do their job, and they are short people, we will augment them with the firing detail, and if it is necessary, we have chaplains, that can do the services, several that i have dealt with, as a chaplain, for active duty marines, i did some of those in san jose. >> reporter: they consider it a privilege to be able to help, it is not just a commitment of time, volunteers pay all of their own expenses -- expenses, purchaser equipment, and travel, and they do it because they will tell you that veterans deserve this final show gratitude. >> it doesn't matter if it is one person or know people, i have done servic

when you see the minister of the national guard which is a big power in saudi arabia royalty sons of the king's former king's grandchildren for mccains who used to have big responsibilities lot of money a lot of responsibilities when you see them in the prisons than when you have to ask goodness where is prime minister where is prime minister it's a concern that is legitimate as well we need to know why and how. do we need to understand the things and matters behind this is a nation this saudis step came within the context of changing the prime minister. in the context of deleting the cabinets in lebanon within the context of hitting the stability and security in lebanon or within that context of a war against lebanon like war was launched by saudi arabia in yemen or was supported by saudi. in iraq. as it personel conflict between members whoever they are we need to know is it related to the internal saudi. so we need to understand during the few coming days everything in all due to be in a way or another to determine the way we will all be havey in the next period period. according

the way his popularity one of the most high profile figures pushed out is the minister of the national guard prince metabo been a ball up he was the son of former king of dollar and once thought to be next in line to the throne he was the remaining member of the abdullah family in such a high level position. also detained is prince will lead bin tell out he's one of the wealthiest men in the world and given his widespread investments is detainment could have an impact on global business. this shake up sends a message there's a new political order all their different branches of the army would be controlled by the same people and eliminate in this ballance between different branches of home you know that was before so now that it's no way that it answers it wouldn't be accepted it's also a reminder that for months after the crown prince was named heir to the throne there can be no mistake mohammed bin selman is the future for saudi arabia natasha going to zero. let's bring in al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan. marwan probably the most high profile person in all this is prince ali and

of national guard soldiers has been tripled along the route the number of port authority police doubled as well as state troopers doubled out in the field this along of course with new york city police officers penn station grand central step up in security their rooftops along the route there's been style snipers positioned and also sanitation trucks filled with sand have been parked along the route as what are called lockers this is to prevent any cars from entering the route itself has to run as a race takes place the new york city police chief carlos gomez says this is the biggest ever security operation mounted for the marathon mark i think of the boston marathon and one has to wonder is it really possible to secure an entire marathon route. well the new york city police chief appears to be absolutely certain that it is that thing about the sanitation trucks so that's a very important aspect in all of this it's part of a tactic that's been developed for other big parades like the thanksgiving parade that will prevent cars from getting in to the route as happened in that attack last

the national guard in saudi arabia has traditionally been the center of tribal power. anabdullah when crowned prince maintained the national guard as alternative to the army how he reached out to traditional power centers in the kingdom. when you pull his son, who do you put in his place? how do you make sure that that institution stays loyal to you, mohammad bin salman, the crown prince? there is no good answer. same with the security service. there is an internal security service and foreign security service. who's going to control those services? will the professionals feel comfortable in the new environment? we don't know. the m.b.s. needs to be careful as he tries to establish greater control he doesn't create new problems. >> rose: where is the crown prince he overthrew in all of this because he's under house arrest? >> the former prince has essentially disappeared, was replaced suddenly last summer by m.b.s. >> rose: first move. first move in the consolidation, the power play. he wanted to be sure he would be able to succeed his father, king isman who is 81. he
