the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman is incredibly young for someone with so much responsibilitythat because he spent the last few years being effectively tutored by his father, the king. he has had emerged from the shadows with a meteoric rise to take over one portfolio after another. saturday, the fourth of november has been termed already the ‘night of the long knives', because, under the orders of the crown prince, a large number of senior saudi princes, ministers, former ministers and business figures have all been rounded up, their assets seized, they've been put into luxury detention. this is unprecedented in saudi arabia. these are big public figures and they have been publicly humiliated and accused — so officials say — of corruption and abuse of power. this has also been seen as a power grab by the crown prince. he is now consolidating all the reigns of power into his hand. the saudi crown prince is one of the very few people who could take on the power of the religious conservatives inside arabia and say it is time for women to be allowed to drive. saudi arabia is the

salman. he is seen by many, especially the young is a breath of fresh air.ot only is the charge but he will have the following of the people in the pursuit of his agendas. that is a really important and significant question, where the belief to tackle issues like corruption. there may be considerable support both inside and outside the country. these arrests leave no rival to challenge the prince to the throne. he will ultimately be responsible for the many challenges in the country faces like diversified the oil economy and managing its neighbour khaka and the ongoing and seemingly unwinnable war in yemen. a missile launched towards the capital, a sign of our the saudis are struggling. while this seems to be little resistance in public, anyway, the conventional nature of saudi politics has been broken and that is bound to upset some of the more conservative elements. this sudden change, which a piece of court the world by surprise, is far from a piece of court the world by surprise, is farfrom over. let‘s take a look at some of the other stories making the

signs from the ally saudi king to be replaced by his 32-year-old young son, mohammed bin salman, known kushner last spring and for his aggressive foreign policy for iran throughout the region, including an embargo against his neighbor, qatar, endorsed by the president himself. >> the nation of qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level. i decided, along with secretary of state rex tillerson, our great generals and military people, the time had come to call on qatar to end its funding. they have to end that funding. and its extremist ideology in terms of funding. >> that was president trump last june, accusing qatar, a major ally in the fight against isis of the u.s., of financing terror. joining me now is the qatari minister of foreign affairs. thank you very much, mr. minister, your excellency, thank you for being with us. we wanted to talk to you to give you a chance to respond for your country against what president trump alleged. >> andrea, first of all, this is the danger of propaganda. mainly, the entire campaign started accusing qatar

. >> young man, mohammad bin salman on the right-hand side. >> he wants to prove himself.he is 30 years old. he has no track record of any islanders kind of success. he was instrumental in the war in yemen who is going padly for saudi arabia. he needs to compensate for that in some way. he is flexing his muscles, using iran as the baggie man has always been a go-to play for many arab leaders. and he's doing the same. yes, the trump administration signed off on it. you know what, each if they hadn't he would have done the same anyways. my take. >> bobby, thank you for joining us today. bobby gouache, general expert on all things in the world. >>> developing news in the united states. governments continue fight to isolate north korea. the trust department issued new sanctions the day after the country labeled the country a state sponsor of terror. joining me, a person who understands these things better than most of us. agar, what do you make it of. tillerson said yesterday these sanctions are going to matter actually probably more than the declaration of north korea as a st

piece up right now on al-jazeera dot com about the latest moves by saudi arabia's young crown prince mohammed bin salman the macchiavelli and prince welcome to salomon irradiates called a thought provoking piece do we get if you have time it's on al-jazeera dot com. now you're watching us on facebook coming up delis air is still too dangerous to breathe and his children who are suffering the most and still ahead on these grades we take a look at some of the challenges facing refugees and aid groups on the greek island of less force to stay with us. in the a. hello there is plenty of cloud over the middle east at the moment the satellite picture shows the latest bunch of cloud has been working its way steadily eastwards that's mostly just not a great deal of rain with it at all but still it's gradually edging its way eastwards and it's going to be here working its way across the around there as we head through monday behind it as more unsettled weather following it so another system that diggy its way through parts of iraq and more cloud also on the east coast of the mediterranean and across parts of tur

speculation, but there is a lot of speculation that the israelis are kind of advising the young prince, salmansolidation of power. you also know they just arrested -- stuart: yep. >> so the big arrest wasn't walid who is the flashy, bigtime businessman. the big arrest there is the head of the national guard who is the son of the king. stuart: ah. >> so there's a con slation of power. and if somebody's advising a 32-year-old crown prince at how he can put his country together to consolidate this power to respond to the missile, it gets all very complex, but then the gulf states are involved as well, right? stuart: and the price of oil goes up, bottom line. okay. zane, stay there for a second because i want to bring in stephen schork with "the sloshing report." this guy -- the schork report. i'm sure you heard this, stephen, the price of oil going up, $56 a barrel right now. zane tankel says it's got something to do with that missile that was fired into saudi arabia and the consolation of power by the crown prince. what say you in. >> well, certainly today there is going to be a move to err on t

salman. mbs. mbs is now 32 years old. he's very young. he's already been named the top economic adviser in the kingdom, the chief of the royal court in the kingdom, the defense minister of saudi arabia, and officially the guy who's next in line to be king. he had to jump over a bunch of his cousins in order to get that role. and we don't know what happened to set off what happened this weekend, but honestly, saudi arabia and the royal court and the line of succession turned into an action movie this weekend. it started off bizarrely with the prime minister of a whole different country resigning as prime minister of his country while he was in saudi arabia. the prime minister of lebanon on saturday announced he was stepping down as the lebanese prime minister, and lebanon is a whole separate country from saudi arabia, but mysteriously the lebanese prime minister announced in saudi arabia that he was stepping down. why did that happen? i mean, if president trump was going to resign from office, that would be momentous enough. if he went to

has the bin salman choice and he is going to be the leader of saudi arabia. for may be another 50 years. he is young and considering the age factor and advancement of medicine, maybe he will make it more than 50 years. so the only we can do as saudi arabians is hope he will succeed. his successes will be our success -- not necessarily mean it, but for my kids and rent kids. can he succeed? can saudi arabia in 10 years -- how do i see it in 10 years? saudi arabia will be how mohammad bin salman succeeded in during the epidemic of employment. the other serious thing is high expectation. he made the young people reach the sky and in five years time, he wants to see this futuristic city in the north, also in the north of my hometown, medina. he has to show them what he had promised. the most important thing he has to for phil is unemployment. we are talking about 4 million people unemployment in saudi arabia, and 250,000 people every year in an economy that is controlled by foreign labor. europetish exited because of 8.9% foreigners in their workforce. 75% foreigners who control our workforce in saudi a

very -- the steps that have been taken over the weekend, that bin salman is attending to legitimize himself as next in line. he is youngghtly -- will likely abdicate. and he is weak am a vulnerable, sees the singer princes as economic rivals or potential problems. he is cleverly using the liquid of modernization, anticorruption, reform, even feminism to situate himself as a progressive thinker. these are all masks to mystify his efforts to good holiday power and to purge potential libels. -- rivals. amy: right before this they send women in saudi arabia will now be able to drive. >> he also announced the end or at least the lifting of certain restrictions on guardianship around women. we think about the way that americans and others in the west consume news out of saudi arabia, in particular, one of the third rails of western politics when it comes -- this includes liberals and others alike -- is that we really make sense of saudi politics through the lens of gender and gender politics. the oppression of women, their apartheid status in saudi arabia, rises to the top of how we think about, at least critically, saudi po

salman succeeded in during the epidemic of employment. the other serious thing is high expectation. he made the young people reach the sky and in five years time, he wants to see this futuristic city in the north, also in the north of my hometown, medina. he has to show them what he had promised. the most important thing he has to for phil is unemployment. we are talking about 4 million people unemployment in saudi arabia, and 250,000 people every year in an economy that is controlled by foreign labor. the british exited europe because of 8.9% foreigners in their workforce. 75% foreigners who control our workforce in saudi arabia. that is not an ordinary economy. every economy needs to be restructured and i wish mohammad bin salman will work from the bottom and fix the economy before he builds new cities, but if he insists on his style of building from the top down, building new cities, i will forecast bankruptcy for saudi arabia. i hope not. i hope he will change course and go to the basic economy, economy 101 and start with jobs rather than building new cities. already he has in the front of his ey

and entitlement effectively by these sweeps as it were at least to is the young leader's mind a thing of the past. this is bin salmanelm of pushing for a diverse economy under the umbrella of vision 2030. that he wants to be able to compete globally. and he thinks that the time has come to clean the saudi house. and many will say here what better way than to start from the top and send a really strong message. cyril? >> some of those have been sidelined are close to or even part of the saudi royal family. help us understand why the crown prince would go after his own cousins or members of his own family. >> speak to people here and they say ultimately, at this stage, in this era, in this new iteration with the saudi 2030 vision being so important to this country for its future, with its economy really sort of flat lined a the present, looking to this non-oil diversified economy going forward, that it really doesn't matter who you are, the point is you need to be with those who are forging ahead. you know, here it is an environment we'll be right back you will get things done. it's those who are on your side are prep

.: mohammed bin salman, known to his friends and closer allies as mbs, what can you tell us about him as a person? peter b.: the first thing that is striking is he's very young32 years old. he always worked with his father, the current king. the current king was the governor of riyadh before the was his personal secretary, the boss of the administration, so he traveled very much in the shadow of his father. his father became king. he became crown prince. lot asideeally know a from that. it is clear he has the financial means. last year he bought a $5 million yacht, so he's doing quite well. you can't underestimate what kind of revolution he started in saudi arabia, to fight back radical islam, to take on the islamic establishment, the over, , our womemen allowed to drive, our women allowed in sports stadiums, and so on. it is a huge deal in saudi arabia. peter c.: what does, jamsheed, what do the iranians make of all this? the problem is the to --nce of saudi arabia which is a really big problem for iran. not only for iran, the whole region. balance.e, there is a why we don'teason have such a war between iran and saudi arabia until now. peter c.: explain aga

mohammed bin salman has one and he is going to be the leader of saudi arabia. for maybe another 50 years. he's young and considering the age factor and advancement of medicine, maybe he will make it more than 50 years. so we just-- the only thing we could do in saudi arabia is just to hope he will succeed. his success will be our success. i made it in my life, but for my kids and my grandkids. can he succeed? can saudi arabia in ten years, how do i see it in ten years? i would-- saudi arabia will be success if mohammed bin salman succeeded in unemployment. it's the most serious thing going to face him. the other serious thing is the condition -- he rose expectations of the people and made young people reach the sky, and in five years time they want to see. the future in the north, also in the north of my hometown medina, so, he had to show them what he had promised, but the most important thing he had to fulfill the unemployment and we are talking about 4 million people unemployment in saudi arabia and 250,000 people every year. in an economy that is controlled by-- the british, the europe, and a pe

salman. both father and son greeted president trump during his first foreign policy trip last may. while this crackdown has been applauded by some as cleaning up house, others say it's the young prince's bold move to consolidate power. the fate of the detained royals and their assets are unclear. reportedly taken to the ritz carlton hotel in riyadh where they are under house arrestment jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, london. >> quijano: coming up next, new allegations of sexual misconduct against actor kevin spacey from the son of a celebrity. later we're on the trail of an elusive star in the hollywood hills. a new mountain lion has moved in. >> quijano: actor kevin spisy is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct. the latest accusations come from the son of a celebrity, jamie yuccas is following this. >> reporter: the new allegations are from the son of actor richard dreyfus who was in the room nine years ago when kevin spacey allegedly groped his son harry. gahay rrve an buzzfeed saturday. it happened when dreyfus was 18. he wrote in part the three of us were alone in kevin's apartment rehearsing my father's lines. my father didn't see, and i didn't tell him about the in

response to what mohammad bin salman is doing, and i think the uncertainty outside of the kingdom is warranted. this is new for saudi arabia, a new era for the kingdom. this young who is deservedly sent to be king, is acting in ways the kingdom and they have not seen before. we are firmly in the third-generation of these princes, and he is acting and radically new ways. at the same time, when you look at the domestic reaction, the poll he has in saudi's, and people who say they support this, we support being put on equal footing. ,ith this anticorruption purge i think he is trying to bring about a greater amount of trust between the people of saudi arabia and himself. with the burgeoning population come i think he is trying to make sure he has their trust before he starts making even deeper changes to the social contract in the kingdom. right, they are cheered by a number of saudis on the ground. how much is this going to affect the future vision of the prince? it is everything from building this new economic zone to the saudi aramco ipo. do you think it might have an effect on any of these plans? emily: i think the kingdom needs an incredible amount of interna

young man. are they safe? >> i have a view that i think is in the minority among the observers so far. there is no doubt that the crown prince, mohammed bin salmaner over last several months culminating in these arrests there. is no question in my mind he is on top. there is a lot of rumors in saudi he may be crowned king almost anytime but i will just say this i think the united states should have a contingency plan for a shah of iran scenario. i don't think this is over in saudi arabia. i don't think it is, conflict among the gulf states, qatar being isolated at moment, i don't think that is over either. i think there is a lot of play here for terrorism within the arab world, not to mention iranian meddling. in answer to your question, yes, i think things are continuing to come unstuck in the middle east, i think that could have a significant impact for example, on the price of oil. stuart: i want to talk to you quickly about president trump's trip to asia. he, in south korea today, or overnight i should say, he was laying out how much military might we have assembled in the region. then he went on to talk about his success or otherwise, with
