The BBC is a public service. Saudi Arabia is a country with a LONG list of RECENT human rights abuses, migrant abuses and exploitation, human trafficking, child sex trafficking, and shamelessly slaughtering journalists on foreign soil.
Oh wait… “public service” that destabilizes countries and then you come in and preach such things about human rights when one of the root causes were in fact your nice public service. Just look up how BBC supported the Mullahs against the Shah in Iran in 79.
Re Saudi Arabia “journalist” you do realize he was from a famous intelligence community family. Hardly a simple “journalist.” On balance what MBS has done in terms of freedom and modernization of his country should be appreciated not put down simplistically. Statecraft is not always clean.
The world isn’t that simple as presented to western audiences.
