pointed out in riyadh than we spoke to her i think with women right now the major issue we're struggling with on the legal aspect is the guardianship women are really prisoners and he is seen as a child she doesn't have control over her life when it comes to guardianship. and we know that media she's not the only one who has been speaking extensively about this right i mean she was speaking from saudi arabia there but we also have for example activists around the world anderson the you spoke with somebody from berlin a short while ago these are sacked that we want to listen to that. i think actually some activists just to be used instead it's making the. those who are arrested because of. for example much more to be a risk that that make me ask myself if the venue is really serious about any form surely i have hope. and all of us will to do otherwise everything with groups goes with a lot of thought but if you want me come back to reality i should say that guardianship is the biggest obstacle in which this us until now and obviously they are trying to. give some off rights. in their shad

but also women who really dream of a pro fallen to change structural change of the society inside riyadh saudi arabia they say they want to have equal rights so not just more rights but equal rights equal to the man in saudi arabia i want to talk a little bit about the comparisons that are being made right now when we talk about the change the pace of change how conservative the society is because you know some people have made the comparison that that saudi society is about as conservative as atmosphere do you feel that the country is poised for that funny. portion of the society is very poised for that it really depends who you talk to hold that person is what the social circumstance of that person is you may find women saying that they want to keep reading for example the buy that you see their order hats card because they say taking it off may threaten their islamic identity but then again of course i've met plenty of especially young people and two thirds of the population is below thirty years old in saudi arabia who dream of a different saudi arabia of a more open country the ques

we have interviewed in march in riyadh she can paint for the driving ban that to be lifted for decades since nine hundred ninety and the very same people who actually had hopes that these reforms are actually going to be put into action and there's going to be change these people have been arrested now in the meantime four people have been released among them is also my deah but this is what she had to say before she was detained when i spoke to her in riyadh the you know one of the first things we've been asking was the driving and the right to drive and we have to remember that the driving is not the only thing we need we need it many many things but we use the car as a symbol it gave us the opportunity to go in the streets and to be very very visible for people to really see us and see our demands. so a lot of symbolism there a lot of high hopes that you know the these reforms known as the vision twenty thirty that they could really improve the situation for women what did you experience on the ground there how constrained our women's lives really in the kingdom and the emphasis are

to be a little bit wary of west coming out of riyadh in terms of policies and the decisions that are being made you know when it comes to certain and alliances open friendships and so i do see you know these efforts encircled that are you know yes it has been blown out of proportion because it has been politically played out in the you know the government of haiti is not being very genuine from completely honest i think in towards their position towards the u.a.e. because only just a few years ago back into science fourteen for example it was quite happy to welcome the u.n. not just in support of it as well in adam in the support of art and so i think that what we see us just you know growing tension in between as you mentioned certain powers we've been maybe the middle east but i don't think you have anything to do with the muslim brotherhood per se i think it has everything to do with of our and how the u.a.e. is trying to break away i think from you know this you know this from a german that is saudi arabia right now in the region and they trying to be a bit more independent and i

ma'men, the missiles diy threaten saudi arabia, not only do they do that but missiles flying over riyadh -- >> and that's the challenge. >> exactly >> you mentioned not a lot of concrete actions have been taken by concrete firms in iran. one challenge is the movement of money, and that has to do with the hesitancy of banking giants outside of iran to form those relationships with iranian banks. one argument that the previous u.s. administration said if you guys go ahead, you big european banks do this, we will let you do it. but a lot of european banks said we're not happy to do that that doesn't seem like a reasonable risk. any have been proven correct

we ask them to stop firing missiles into riyadh. that is not a fantasy to imagine asking the iranians not to fire missiles into another nation and threaten american lives to travel through that airport. it is not a fantasy to ask them to cease engaging in terror. these were all demands we put on the rest of the world. if it was the case that some other country in the middle east desired to build a nuclear weapons system, we would work to stop them too. these are a set of simple requirements that the iranian regime could easily comply with, and it would benefit the iranian people to an enormous extent. frankly, what we laid out seems like a pretty straightforward set of requirements we would put on any country in the world to stop maligned behavior that threatens other of its neighbors and other parts of the world. with that i'm happy to take a couple questions. yes, matt, good to see you. >> good to see you, sir. in washington. on north korea and the meanings today -- we have just met, so i don't know if you are a betting man, but i

image through the news media to global policy makers and the public our starting point this week is riyadh. the rest of the woman driving us give us talk of it a bit of a surprised single newspaper discovering that. we did not need this in fact to reveal. the true outcome to tell you. where rights are granted by a royal decree not when it. by act. doesn't match the rhetoric. as reform and country because it's arresting in the rights activists of the right even the machine of the kingdom is having a difficult time defending put the decision. the question for the saudi authorities is why do this now of all times why just as the global media were busily churning out good news stories of saudi women preparing to take. we've been the last country on the planet which would ban them from driving with the government choose this particular moment to arrest seven activists five women and two men accusing them of colluding with unspecified foreign powers to destabilise the. the truth since those activists have been under the gun ever since last september when the crown prince's father king solomon an

we traveled to riyadh and abu dhabi. we saw countries in the midst of dramatic change and we met with inspiring leaders and energized young people, women and men at every stop of course change happens in different ways and at a different pace and at a different style than it might happen elsewhere. a similar group of institute trustees visited cairo in november 2010, just two months before the revolution. that change was driven from the street. in saudi arabia change is from the top down, driven by a new generation of leadership. will it have more lasting success? time will tell. doesn't matter to america? absolutely. 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 h

well we've lost the saudi led islamic military counterterrorism alliance to comment on riyadh's alleged role in the strike of so far no response how the saudi led operation in yemen is aimed at who the opposition fighters who control widescale territories in the north are human rights groups continue to call for riyadh to stop its role in the conflict and saudi arabia has repeatedly insisted it doesn't target civilians but fights only terrorists hussein again claims the ball means used in the latest strike came from professional partners in the west those bombs little brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this young who but i think a lot of just what i'll do to home in that village is i mean i want to ask you is on both of the few they live nation always supplying this bomb to the saudis the coalition the only country that actually is using this bombs on yemen the only company that i mean i have a little crazy in yemen the only fight that if you own the sky in yemen they are so do you fight that you get that out of fuel but you as. the only thing that they like is t

that supports the murderous assad regime as well compares arrival in riyadh followed a barrage of eight ballistic missiles fired into saudi territory by hooty fighters in yemen the u.s. and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran or combine that ticket and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions further violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east the remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing the do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. embas

i urged him to acknowledge that the iranians are launching missiles into riyadh and there's a german going to get killed and one ought to think that that should be a condition that would be unacceptable to the people of germany and i'm hopeful that they will join us to push back against what we would ask from iceland don't watch missiles into riyadh but we went we asked is this is a people have said that what the president laid out what i spoke to on monday is a fantasy if you go look at the twelve items it's nothing that we don't ask of every civilized nation in the world it's join the league of normal nations this doesn't seem like too tall an order for any europe i'm going to i'm not going to he issue with what i do about it but to my to your point i think the europeans share our values and our interests i think they would agree with our assessment of that bad behavior and so i am very hopeful that they will join us in our effort to cease that activity by the islamic republic of iran thank you thank you mr chairman about today's lawmakers speaking to my pompei of the u.s. secretar
