is announcing that women will be allowed to vote and run for municipal office. the change does not take place until 2015 and two elections have been held in the past 50 years in saudi arabia. the king's announcement is after consulting with the nation's clerics. joining me to talk about this is david keys, executive director for the daily beast. we had you on before the very important issues in saudi arabia. you say this is only a leap from an f minitous an f plus. that's nothing. >> it is nothing. the reason i said that is because the same week that the king made his announcement about allowing women to run in elections, a woman was taken in for questioning and will be tried. the same week this announcement was made. one was beheaded for the crime of sourcery. while there has been progress, it's not enough.
