alliance between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do with it will put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy here now of course saudi arabia is considered to be an ally for how long could this continue and many people are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might soon reconsider their alliance and why. it was all you're right would they be doing that. yes they are they would reconsider this first of all because we have the uprisings currently happening which puts more pressure on the on the u.s. government on the british government the saudi arabia until now hasn't taken any steps towards political reform and the other reason is that saudi arabia when it becomes war knows that saudi arabia is the main source of this extremism that will lead to a popular vigilance for example in the u.s. in countries like britain in all these countries i think people will become more and more aware about what saudi arabia represents and hence the u.s. might be pushed into a corner by the way hi

in and man out of that to show that they this saudis are living a good life that's not true to saudi arabia now is a base for the american for the american marines but could we see an uprising in saudi arabia in saudi arabia on the level that we've seen in syria and libya what what is the immediate future do you think. as i said this i would do is they don't have a constitution they don't have me they don't have it's our dr. a governing very rich state and they deprive people according to their hierarchy and their tribe and their tribal system and that's not as state actually they deprived their citizens as they all of their citizens and also they do they want to do the same thing and other. emirates like and behind and other they all saw impose on them some dictations to deprive people of from saying any a word about evolution and although they are paying a lot of money and they ask to have the syrians and these gangs could you will believe that saudi arabia is helping the revolution whether in egypt or in syria or in tunisia or in lebanon or in palestine or anywhere nobody can beli

the saudi arabia and the gulf region how do you see it playing out in saudi arabia could we see something on raveling like some kind of arab spring revolt that we saw in other neighboring countries or not. look let me tell you. when the national system has proved a nationalist revolutions in the arab world of it started with egypt and continued with iraq syria and. monarchies of the guns were very frightened that the vicious wave would be this old monarchy and replace it with a nationalist system but they could escape this now when they feel the strings with. nations of these arab world. to leave egypt and libya are calling for their freedom they're afraid that if this revolution take. full range it will extend truly. and in fact this has started we have seen the wall street. especially through in part of saudi arabia we have seen women movements for example for the right to drive question many activists in the field of human rights are starting. pulling for democracy inside and outside saudi arabia and we have seen also how they are bitterly suppressed and many were prisons and many. nat

says it shows the true colors of saudi arabia i think it really stems down the fact that saudi arabia is the main export of what could be called the radical islam it is the saudi brand of islam actually which has tarnished the muslim image and the whole world for example look at what happened on september eleventh or some in london who was born in saudi arabia so i think this proves what many people have said all along that it is saudi arabia which is the main export of radical religious extremism or be a radical elements but more importantly i think that this report. that sheds light on the whole lions between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do is put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy now of course saudi arabia is considered to be an ally for many people are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might soon reconsider their alliance with saudi arabia. now let's have a quick look at some of the stories making headlines around the world before the business news with katie dr

no not at all saudi arabia. american observers they are saying that there is a revolution covered revolution in saudi arabia actually not. in other parts in saudi arabia where media. does not come out of this evidence in riyadh in jeddah in other places in saudi arabia on the borders of all these places while they are putting putting some masks on their. eyes in order not to see of course. a lot of b. i want cover such evidence and i guess there is a kind of revolution going on in saudi in other places will happen sure what's happening in bahrain and the intervention of the saudis and the qatar is one stop here and people are really a state of uprising and they are growing and will march until they achieve. their kind of life. a life not unlike what's happening in these emirates and gulf states backordered states living from the medieval. centuries understood french explain to us dr motion salai a political analyst to talk to us on the line from beirut. twenty four minutes past eight of the evening moscow time l

alliance between the saudi family the saudi royal family and some western countries what this will do with it will put more pressure on the western governments to try and change their policy now of course saudi arabia is considered to be an ally for many people are speculating that maybe the western governments might reconsider might reconsider their alliance with saudi arabia and they risk renewed and humanity protests in bahrain this week with thousands of demonstrators up against police firing rubber bullets and tear gas the rallies were sparked by a government decree to ban all forms of public protest the market response to swift of hundreds of raids on the homes of suspected protesters and dozens of arrests made the media's also been targeted with police apparently ordered to prevent coverage of the rest we spoke to someone who witnessed the brutality on the streets filmmaker event for human rights activist gen marlow we've all been kicked out of bahrain a cell she was one of the few western journalists left there she told us the situation is more desperate the many would believe

reform and the other reason is that saudi arabia when it becomes more annoyed that saudi arabia is the main source of this extremism that we're late to a popular vigilance for example in the u.s. in countries like britain i believe that this report and more similar developments would put more pressure on the on the u.s. and all of these western countries. you're watching r.t. now the parliamentary elections in georgia are just three months away with political tensions and foul play already dominating three opposition activists arrested on choose day for allegedly violating party funding rules as artie's arena good reports some fear president mikheil saakashvili is ruling party will cling to power by any means necessary. where i was my friends who were kidnapped by the by george imposed by the kind of groups which we accompanied by door don't polish like many of the outspoken critics of the regime of president saakashvili because google is used to this kind of treatment but now as parliamentary elections draw closer the authorities are trying to do really any opposition momentum on top

some sort of a playing in the hand of the united states or russia or saudi or israel directory. carol in london you want to jump in go ahead yeah because i think that's a very important angle i think since the beginning of from tunisia and egypt the beginning of the arab uprising we've seen that saudi arabia and qatar have actually kind of broken free from this american reason order so to speak which has completely collapsed and we can see very clearly the the declining u.s. influence over here and the lack of clarity about how to restore it which is kind of bridging a this competition between qatar and saudi arabia and again both of those countries kind of meddling more aggressively and affairs of other countries i mean just mention the example of bahrain where saudi arabia sends out abs and it troops over there without any western condemnation and that's a very clear example of the type of activity that we're seeing and that's again contributing to this further instability because you don't even have that sort of american common factor they used to orchestrate regional policy
