Hello im adrian from again this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up in saudi arabia a missile attack shows that much of the kingdom is now within the range of yemens the rebels. Iran accuses saudi arabia the u. S. And israel of stoking tension in the region after the sudden resignation of the lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri. And well take you to just run of the hometown of the sect cattle and leader push to mount where politics took a backseat for tradition. Theres been a major shake up in the top ranks of saudi arabias government and ruling family between saturday night and sunday morning eleven saudi princes for sitting cabinet ministers and dozens of Foreign Ministers were detained the government describes all this is the work of a new Anti Corruption committee which itself was only formed on saturday night among those being held prince. Hes best known as a billionaire investor controlling major stakes in twitter twenty First Century fox and citi group but most significant internal move involves prince met had been adalah who was removed from his post as the head of the National Guard hes the son of the late King Abdullah and was considered a contender for the throne also out is the minister of the economy and planning at all ben mohammed. And a dollop in Sultan Al Sultan has been ordered to retire as the commander of the saudi navy the dismissal is a widely seen as consolidating the power of the crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon also known as m. B. s been solomon was elevated to his position just four months ago displacing an older cousin the same reports now on the sweeping changes and their implications. Call it a surprise saturday night shake up saudi state t. V. Reported that eleven princes three current and dozens of former ministers have been detained as part of an inch i corruption probe only hours after the formation of an Investigative Committee was announced its difficult to relate this to corruption since they didnt have enough time to make a prosecution or to make investigations about that if there was something or some information collected previously why did the and with. The case by case in different people as before about the not doing this overnight all these people together which is rather spacious. The saudi cabinet overhaul is viewed as a power play by king solomon analysts say its designed to ensure his son and heir to the throne crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon consolidates power and does so among their branch of the royal family hes making this Public Relations sense to get more public support and also a little bit of the way to 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 hes 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 theres 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 thats still all done in secrecy its 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 thats ashes report there lets bring in once again i was in a senior political analyst now and bashara whats your take on whats really going on in saudi arabia right now its really amazing as someone whos been following development in the middle east of course with that were not we dont stop being amazed at what just happened in this region and for the areas out of countries since the beginning of the twenty First Century it seems its. And ill fated times for the outer world changes nonstop there are drama and stop of course what weve seen the last couple days is not the death and destruction as weve seen in iraq and syria and yemen and libya but certainly it is politically dramatic in we dont know anything like it in the modern history of saudi arabia. As i have been stating throughout the day this is not just a not a new chapter this is a new book a new political alphabet that we have not heard before in the country now is it is it well thought through well the record shows over the last couple of years the things are not exactly well thought through in saudi arabia whether it is the war in yemen whether its privatization or whether its restructuring and so on so forth so while theres all sorts of and vicious programs and vicious steps being taken on various fronts and here now under the pretext of fighting corruption we were seeing their entire system of governance in the country is being shaken. Is it to consolidate power of one man or one Nuclear Family or theres more to what we dont know but certainly there are magic to change what is who is it who would be behind it is that the king or is it the crown prince the that is behind all these dramatic traces and are these changes for the good a positive changes or are you skeptical well look from what weve seen is that the more the more vocal the more representative the more. Explain that in chief if you will of all of this has been the crown prince not the king the king has taken the back seat and actually for much of the summer he was in north africa and so on so forth so clearly the the crown prince is the one that is the driver behind much of this and as i said hes a young man hes been referred to in various profiles in western publications someone who is inexperienced ambitious but also perhaps reckless in sense that he keeps taking taken on these mega projects campaigns like the war in yemen like that crisis in the gulf and yesterday the crisis in lebanon perhaps but not really well thought through and sometimes he goes back on the things that hes done before so it is him but clearly he also has help from the outside clearly that the rulers and the and the United Arab Emirates are completely behind him and so one clearly president from the way he tweeted yesterday the way hes visited saudi arabia the way he received. You know various attempts at changes within the kingdom clearly the american president is an ally of the crown prince of saudi who is who is left in saudi arabia to hold the crown prince in check. You know its always been a question of division of labor between the religious establishment and the political establishment that was about to start. And theres always been a division of labor between business to do its own and for the family to work the oil wealth of the country i think that division over us is changing slowly but surely and i think how much been so now is just taken a very aggressive steps in terms of security and security is king behind the king weve seen. Take the portfolio of the minister of defense two and a half years ago in the beginning of two thousand and fifteen so he became Missile Defense the launch of the war in yemen and so on so forth. Few months ago weve seen him take over the crown princes portfolio which is some of the knife who was in charge of minister of interior and all the internal Security Services so again the crown prince then took over the second level of security power in the country and as of yesterday he kicked out the traditional historically have been abdulla and his father the former president King Abdullah over the National Guard so now because the crown prince and some of them so much is in control of the triangle of Security Forces within the country the Defense Forces the interior forces and the royal guard hes basically in charge of all security in the country its all in his hands thats certainly a good will start if you want to make changes in the country when i was told you many thanks indeed aljazeera senior political analyst. A suicide car bomber struck a Security Headquarters in yemens port city of eight and several people were killed it happened in the court next on neighborhood no ones yet claimed responsibility for the attack and in other developments in saudi arabia the military has shut down a long range Ballistic Missile over riyadh it was fired from yemen towards the saudi capitals airport who the rebels in yemen say that theyre behind the attack on a honda reports. Its not the first time who three 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 a saudi forces fired a surface to air Patriot Missile to intercept it witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion and seeing fragments falling ne the airport the rebels moved quickly to say they were behind the missile attack telling aljazeera they had launched a burka and two h. Missile a scud type missile with a range of more than eight hundred kilometers. We choose the time and place after collecting information about a target and it was khaled International Airport east of riyadh targeted by a long range volcano Ballistic Missile this is in response to the continued aggression committing daily massacres against the yemeni people and. The conflict in yemen pits the rebels from the north backed by iran and troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh against Yemeni Government forces back in two thousand and fourteen the who sees and their allies took control of the yemeni capital sanaa. But the conflict widened early the following year when a Saudi Led Coalition of arab countries state done with airstrikes to back up humans government in two and a half years the Saudi Coalition has launched thousands of a strikes the same a strikes that have been repeatedly criticized by the United Nations for disregarding the number of civilians killed and return who sees and their allies have fired dozens of missiles into saudi territory last week who the spokesman told aljazeera that whos the fighters would target any country that attacks them. What. I would be and others the target yemen as far as we are concerned are fair military target from Ballistic Missiles any country that hits yemen militarily will be targeted. Yemen was already the poorest country in the region before the war nearly two and a half years of fighting has left it on the brink of collapse a crippled infrastructure abject poverty seven Million People close to starvation and since april the worlds worst outbreak of cholera the u. N. Says around ten thousand people have been killed and at least forty thousand wounded mostly from saudi laid is strikes this latest missile attack deep into saudi territory will likely escalate this long running and conflict medium hond out to zero yemens civil war began in march twenty fifteen since then theres been several missiles fired from hooty rebels into saudi arabia which is backing the yemeni president drabble mansour hadi the exact launch sites arent known but its believed that most have been fired from yemens northwestern sada province in october last year who the rebels were accused of targeting the holy city of mecca and missile was shot down just south of the city but it was the deepest strike into saudi arabia saturdays Missile Launch a year later now suggests that what the rebels have the technology that can strike beyond the reach of the saudi capital riyadh Andrius Craig is assistant professor at the Defense Studies Department at Kings College london he says the Missile Technology is almost certainly being sent to who these from outside yemen. This is a tit for tat kind of balance of terror now whereby the who these have said that if you strike us we will strike back and this is not going towards only against saudi arabia but also against the United Arab Emirates potentially and they have over the last two years really expanded their reach and they have really have increasingly more sophisticated Missile Technology which is far beyond the reach of what was initially targeted so when the coalition started to that fifteen when the strike started the scud missile capability of there were these was relatively limited were talking about three hundred kilometers to five hundred kilometers there is a stockpile in yemen of skype missile that has been there for more than twenty years and now they have this capability has been augmented so i think what we see here is definitely some of the Technology Comes from iran but it doesnt come as entire missiles its not like the revolutionary guard of iran is shipping in time missiles into into yemen i think its different parts and then theyre being assembled in yemen and fired off and apart from that i think there are some of the capabilities also coming from north korea but again its certain parts that really of meant the strike range of these missile of these missiles and i think weve seen this development over the last two years where they go get increasingly better a at the range and b. At hitting the targets they want to target iran has accused saudi arabia the u. S. And israel of trying to strike tension in the region it follows the sudden resignation of lebanons Prime Minister in the saudi capital riyadh on saturday in a televised statement on Saudi State Television saad hariri accused iran and the Lebanese ArmedGroup Hezbollah of saying strife in the arab world he also said feared he said that he feared an assassination attempt against iran accused me of quote playing a game designed by those who want ill for the region in a heart of reports now from beirut. There is a political vacuum and a lebannon and a filling it will not to be easy the president of the country will have to formally accept the Prime Ministers resignation and then start consultations with Parliament Members now there is a parliamentary democracy in this country but in reality it is a consensual democracy the rival political camps that need to find a compromise candidate to form a National Unity government or else the instability will continue but that is going to be hard. And his allies have made it clear that they do not want to share power with hezbollah and if the president appoints a candidate close to hezbollah then it risks isolating lebanon the resignation you cant just see this as an isolated incident its not just a Lebanese Internal lebanese matter it is linked to what is going on in the region it is part of the ongoing iranian Saudi Arabian rivalry across the region and lebanon is now the new Battle Ground and the people here are worried this Uncertain Times they fear that once is political and stability they may see security incidents and they feel lebanon which has really tried to shield itself away from what is going on in the region may be dragged into this but the United States saudi arabia israel theyve been making this clear for some time now that they want to curb irans influence and iran of course having an ally a very powerful ally in Lebanon Hezbollah which is not it is a Political Party and part of the government thats hoddle had to be headed so the fact that he resigned they all see this as you know aimed at trying to curb hezbollahs influence but its easier said than done a weather update thanks to an i was zero then we will never yield never waver and never falter in defense of our people.
