Hours of an easy calm as a ceasefire in syria is a good lives still hold. But so we begin in saudi arabia where crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon has detained some of the most high profile members of the royal family and that includes form a crown Prince Mohammed bin nayef as well as a prince of bin Abdul Aziz Al saud the younger brother of the saudi king report suggests that they have both been accused of treason so many gods have also arrested one of my havent been brothers and now likely to be under the threat of life imprisonment or possible execution both could have rivaled crown Prince Mohammed bin salim to throw in if king solomon dies out 0 Senior Correspondent jim spains what these detentions mean for the kingdom and their impact on saudi politics. In terms of his significance its huge because were talking about true of the most senior members of the saudi royal family and true that up until now have not been seen as supporters of crown prince may have been someone in the direction that hes been taking the country both domestically and in terms of Foreign Policy whats printed it is very difficult to ascertain needless to say because saudis are very close culture in terms of back of transparency and no Media Freedom there but also whats peculiar about it is that these are 2 figures who have theyve been under house arrest they havent been able to move freely for a very long time so the idea that maybe they were trying to hatch some sort of coup is very far fetched and difficult to see considering the restraints they were under already more likely than not whats a lot of analysts are talking about is that the current king solomon is somebody who has been reportedly suffering from dementia for many years hes unwell his health is very frail so is this a sign that he has either passed or is about to and now for the crown prince needs to ensure that there are no obstacles in his way in terms of succession so now have been some man was able to get the u. S. True ditch its long term ally in if the person hes arrested and supports him and hes got unconditional support from this current u. S. Administration hes managed to sideline the religious institution either by coopting them onto his side or by arresting many of them including people like some others but the royal courts the royal family he has failed to exert his total control over even after he managed to do things like rounding a lot of senior members of the world family in the ritz carlton that famous case in the end of 2007 there were still those figures like the only other child of the founding King Abdul Aziz that is a human being somebody who didnt support him as well as his cousin and the nephew of the current King Mohammed bin i. Well it is not from just shon whos executive director of the center of washington he thinks the detention is seen like an attempt by the crown prince to consolidate more power. Who is the most senior thats 3 and has actually overseas for many years came back couple of years ago to kind of try to calm things down. After b. S. Took over and there were some. Kind of turmoil and we didnt go you know family. And of course the the previous crown prince and his brother were also involved in these 3 other arrests the accusation of course. Or the implication is that there was an attempt at a coup i dont think the possibility of a coup is even. Feasible at this time in terms of where the military is and its potential point dissipate in and out i think this is another 10 but i meant been some amount to kind of exert in a paranoid way has full control over the kingdom that finitely there are some kinds of rumors and innuendoes done to his term or within the family in the form of criticism but that doesnt justify 1st of all the accusation itself that day concert you just read in the form of a coup and to justify this type of step you know being arrested like criminals with mass Security Forces coming to their homes and yanking him out of their private residences so this is this is not the saudi arabia we all knew for 56 or definitely 10 or 20 years ago now the number of cases of coronavirus worldwide i suppose the 100000 mark more than 3000 people have lost their lives in china is reporting 28 new deaths on friday its only has a 2nd highest number of deaths followed by iran and the outbreak has led to travel restrictions diplomatic standoffs and the Global Economy is also feeling the pinch gentle as this.

South korea is reporting 174. 00 new cases of corona virus bringing the total number of infections to more than 6 and a half 1044. 00 people have died from the virus so far people there have been frantically buying masks and stocks are running low and thats prompted the government to limit sales to 2 per person each week lets speak to robert reich joins live from south Koreas Capital of seoul and robbers almost as if peoples fears are spreading faster than the virus itself and thats having all sorts of. Impact its not lees economic. You know i think the reality is here south korea is running out of things like face masks these are pretty severe measures that are being brought it brought him but the country is going through some severe times how this rationing will work is that everybody has an Identity Card in south korea and depending on what the last few digits of your id number are you are a lot it a certain day of the week when you will be allowed to visit a pharmacy trying to limit to basically one visit per week per person and from monday on that one visit youll be able to pick up your 2 disposable face masks thats the limits that the government here is setting now optimally of course you should be getting a new face mask every day and then throwing away at the end of that particular day the government believes it simply doesnt have the quantities of face mask to allow that but is giving advice about how you can make your 2 faced must last of the whole week the governments also bringing in other measures like completely stopping now any export of things like face masks to other countries south korea simply cant afford to be sending any out of the country its also were hearing about various raids on some companies that maybe are unscrupulously trying to hoard things as the prices of these things go up like face masks and so on people here are not happy about the situation but grudgingly they have to accept it they have to have a face mask so you have to stand in line. Ok its difficult to go without a mask and living without mass is no longer the norm when im not wearing one i feel wore 8. This is the 1st time i queued for a mask passed by here several times but they didnt have any. For us its not easy to make ends meet were on the verge of bankruptcy just like weve seen in china the coronavirus is affecting the economy in south korea weve largely been dependent on exports if this trend reaches the u. S. Our economy will be badly affected of course is all causing regional problems raw business especially in japan who have their own problems with the olympics coming up. Absolutely all of the countries of this part of asia have their own problems as a direct result of the coronavirus we have the worsening diplomatic spat between japan and south korea with japan imposing of course. A partial quarantine on visitors arriving from south korea just to give you an idea last year nearly hard of all of the visitors into japan were from either south korea or china so this partial quarantine that the japanese have set has caused all sorts of problems were going to see all sorts of Economic Economic impact from that and is also causing a lot of confusion you have thousands of south korean students who are in rolled in japanese colleges who are on a break from their semester here in south korea this weekend running around trying to get on to flights to get back into japan before this quarantine regulations stipulation by japan comes into force but there is a continuing suspicion here that its politically motivated by. The Prime Minister of japan his perspective he believes he has to take these actions now because 2020 is a big year you have not only a potential visit by xi jinping of china which is already been delayed because of the coronavirus but obviously the olympics and all eyes are watching to see whether they really have this under control because according to critics they way that they have handled the corona Virus Outbreak so far has been far from exemplary to put it mildly and so there is a real concern that japan simply would not be able to handle the kind of outbreak that we have had here in south korea or in china. Or any of the time being rob thanks very much indeed thats a picture in seoul in south korea.
