I can guarantee that their country is in better shape than the usa, better economy, and less crime
thank you so much 4 stating that
It's sad but that's true
yeah, but not in the western media
It's the truth , my teachers were from usa, uk ,spain. And they repeatedly say that we feel safer than in our country.
@@ihemo107From experience & on record, I "myself" do not feel safe anymore to travel outside the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia!
compare between ( USA + UK + France + Germany + Spain + Italy ) and ( SAUDI ARABIA ) in health care ( covid 19 ), after that talk to me about human rights.
Can Saudi Arabia supply free healthcare for 330 million people? That is roughly the population of the US...I will say not likely if so much reform will be needed...I live in the US i pay 32 bucks a week out of my paycheck for health insurance. That's just a few Starbucks coffees...I'm also a tax payer part of only 51% of the population that actually pays federal income taxes.
Also I'm a nurse so I'm still working and still getting paid during Covid 19...
And lots of people go to college for free in this country also it's called a Federal Pell grant...unemployment benefits just increased an extra $600 bucks a week during Covid 19 here.
If someone is sick in this country and doesn't have health insurance they go to the ER they can not by law be turned away...so much misinformed people out there about the US as about Saudi Arabia it seems...
I guess the main difference is here most Americans try not to rely too much on the government we try to be self sufficient. If we need help that is what our families are for not the government or at least that's how it is where I live.
S Shirah $ 600 ?! I get my full salary ($ 6,000), my salary as a teacher, and the government postponed the debts due to me for a period of 6 months, without interest and without taxes, in addition to the full free treatment and whatever the length of the treatment.
@@abdullah.alsalafi I think you missed my point. 330 million people compared to 30 million. That's a huge difference in population.
There are other incentives here to help people although I'm not the expert in them because it really does not affect me..
We just tend not to rely on the government here when times get tough...that is why we have a savings account...sadly not enough people here do because they are too materialistic and live paycheck to paycheck.
S Shira How many healthcare workers are there in the United States (population = 300 million) ?! And how many health care workers are in Saudi Arabia (population = 30 million) ?! The effort the government is making in both countries is supposed to be the same even if there is a large disparity in the number of people between them, I hope I have made my point.
K C it should atleast for their citizens
British guy talking about human rights on a German channel. The definition of hypocrisy.
Indeed
Yeah right
Gimme a break man lol. Don’t even put Saudi and England in the same sentence when it comes to human rights. Stop bullshitting yourself.
@@Odat Hold your horses! Wait until far-right fascists rule England. The worst from a human being will be seen. THEN you will not put Saudi and England in the same sentence.
K C you don’t decide how people live.
The prince asked him to come and see for himself and the interviewer rudely refused. He also asked him to send anyone he wants, he refused. He asked him to come as a guest, he refused. The prince was simply stating facts...... The interviewer doesn’t want to see the truth for himself and chooses to be negative. If I were invited as a guest it would be an honor. I can’t believe he said “it’s a waste of time”!
very right
should have told him to visit saudi embassy in turkey😁
It's because as guests, they will see everything through a filtered lens.
We all know what happens to journalists when the Saudis are involved, no wonder he declined.
@@andrekoniger3020 And we all know what happens to normal people when NATO is involved. Millions will die under the name of "dEmOcRaCy". Just like how NATO defends Israelis who abuse every single human right ever existed.
Thank you, your royal highness. Clear and concise
Look at COVID-19 and then you can talk about us during COVID-19 Saudi Arabia taking care about their citizens and compare that with US and UK
We’ve free medical to all citizens in Saudi Arabia if you’re a Saudi citizen and you study at a university in any country in the world you will get a salary just for your study and we don’t have homeless because our government they give us money even if you don’t work compared to another country like USA, UK, AND CANADA you will not find this one and you will see a lot of homeless there. So all of these things are human rights.
I’m proud of my country 🇸🇦
@sathya skywalker im a Saudi citizen, i get all my education until high school for FREE. Im now a university student my country paid me a salary every month helping me to provide my future and my education. After I graduated I will be paid from my country for two years if I don’t get a job. I have all my healthcare for free. Im one of 34 million people living in this great country. We have a vision for our country and that what angers our enemies, “human rights “ is a burning paper now. God give us minds to think not to follow the media, you are human not a pig don’t forget that my friend 😉
@@anas7088 what about when oil is irrelevant?
@@anas7088 So, are you allowed to insult and criticize your monarch?
@@SouvikMukherjeeACFCOD
It’s illegal for anybody to insult anybody in Saudi Arabia, it’s a conservative nation
just because it has a different cultural system doesn’t make it any less valid or demean it in any way.
Much appreciation to Prince Turk Al-Faisal for this open and candid interview. As a member of the Royal Saudi Family he does not have to subject himself to uncomfortable questioning. That is the difference between modern democratic republics based on Enlightenment thinking and traditional Monarchies. It is the chaos of the democratic republican system with unrestricted open debate that has enabled a handful of modern industrialized nations to create the modern world. This modern world has created all the modern conveniences that have made our lives better. The machines of the Industrial Revolution have made global, free-market trade possible. Those machines run on fossil fuel. It is the global trade of petroleum, diesel, natural gas, ... that have set the high standard of living in Saudi Arabia for all other nations to emulate.
the reporter is utterly UNPROFESSIONAL
When the student tries to teach the teacher
😂😭
Hahahaaa.. Word 👏🏾
Respect to prince turki , the way he replies to the ignorant Tim is from other world 👍🏻
羅德夫
Says the guy who never stepped foot in the country, Funny how much media can affect an ignorant mind.
24:58 a very well conclusion,it answers all arousing accusations .
“you amputate limbs, perform lashings, be headings to violate international binding pacts, why?”
“why don’t you come and see” 🤣
Human rights in saudi arabia is much better then us and uk i
because they don't rape their domestic workers
Yeah sure
It's amazing he agreed to the interview. Conflict Zone is terrific.
Saudi Arabia isn't afraid of criticism. The false ideas is the one it should be afraid 😂
@@HmodySANicest joke I've heard for a while. You people are surely comedic.
@@nihleigleca6702 Not as good as you Nihle, If you add an S to the end of your name youd get a great comedian name.
How did you know he studied, you were with him 😂 perfect response
I am just shocked ,why he even agreed doing this interview ?
Cz he isn't afraid of saying the truth about Saudi Arabia. Cz there are a lot of misunderstanding things about the country
exactly..!
Just because he "passes" the interview does not mean things are spanking clean. They have a sponsor system for employees that can make life very difficult for an expatriate worker.
@@mattgeo5039 it actually got reformed this year!
"So you pick and choose your Secretary Generals"
How idiotic can this interviewer be?
You dont pick the Secretary General of the UN.
What you missed the point was not what he meant. You didn't get the point. He was trying to be sarcastic.
@@abanerjee5066 yh but that way of answer is also contridcting cus the interviewer is also selecting and choosing.
Don't compare your country in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia have a great governments and very safe place
I'm very Proud of Saudi Arabia.
he should have asked him how many wars were started because of the bible. how many nations were completely wiped out in the name of Jesus and the Holy bible. dont throw stones if you live in a glass house
well said
Islam is the number which expanded religion with sword or war and then comes Western Catholics. In Christianity , Orthodox which is the true faith and ancient church still and always never war because of Bible
@@jikkuabraham6243 nice try. But you are nothing
@@abumuhaiminul9818 Haha, here comes S#ave generation from Hagar, what's your nationality and are you first generation of War monger?
How calm he is
This is the son of the greatest king, King Faisal of Saud. This man is a prince and he’s very sharp. I would also ask Tim Sebastian to speak in a polite manner to a man of such importance.
Respect is earned not inherited
"A man of such importance" that must be a joke
@@andrekoniger3020 If he's not a man of such importance. Then who is?
@@rex_schd He earned it and inherited it. Unlike some people who neither inherited nor earned it.
combat zone producers....it is not necessary to do caption right after the speaker.it is disturbing or distracting
a good discussion
The interviewer is being personal because his visa was cancelled.
Deborah AUSTRALIA
Wait? You have an interview for precisely this topic. Seems counterintuitive for you to say that it would be a waist of time.
But I enjoyed it. I bet you did that too 😉
poor prince turki. a very polite and friendly guy, never rude or insulting being so lambasted...i love tim sebastian for his ruthless unrelenting demand for truth and accountability. we need journalists like him. but i think prince turki deserves once more all respect for sitting through this without losing his control and not walking out of this.
Was this a comedy or an interview ,I laughed as much as watching a full comedy show
Loved questions and even more the answers
God bless you! the prince responds spoke volumes
Amazing respond by prince
Well done dude🙂
More hate for the best country in the world
Saudi Arabia isn't afraid of criticism. The false ideas is the one it should be afraid 😂
We should target the US governent. Ow, wait they finance human rights.
The presenter is so prejudiced unfair , non-professional and Provocative
He was driven by bad motivations
Are you still make interview with other pepole..??
Great response from Prince Turkey Al Faisal
There are human rights organizations in Saudi Arabia
@H London i was about to write my story as a saudi atheist student who went to uk and lived there for years and how i came to the conclusion that iwould choose Saudi Arabia any day as a place to start a family and raise my kids ..But i’m sure nothing will change your mind as i know first hand how ideology controls people and guide them ..Good day to you
Did Prince Turki set this up himself? He is very polite, the interviewer is clearly motivated by his own anger. I don’t think he was the best for what should have been done calmly and giving Prince Turki time to give full answers.
I appreciate Prince Turki's smart yet sober attire.
Interviewer is hopeless. Not following through on the Princes justifications...just jumps all over the place cherrypicking and sweeping generalisations all over the place. Then starts shouting at the interviewee. Saudi is a developing country economically, socially, and legally. It cannot be UK or USA just like that...even if Saudi wanted to. Does that interviewer believe he will contribute to peaceful happy relations between nations through this approach.
I mean the majority of countries might think we (US and Europe)
cross the line in discussing "he, she, it abortion rights" in Court
when no evidence of pregnancy for a "he" or "it" has been
brought forward nor can we possibly lecture and force other countries to accept those views. Those views ethically divide our own countries.
الامير تركي الفيصل محاور قدير، لكن لم يظهر كذلك في المقابلة. الأسئلة كلها طعن وتجريح في المملكة، ووقت الاجابة
ثوان معدودة، وهذا لا يمكن وخصوصا ان الاجابات ارتجالية وغير مجهزة.
البرنامج اسم على مسمى ساحة الحرب.
Prince Turki Al-Faisal is a potent negotiator. But he didn't seem like that in this interview. All the questions were criticism and accusation to Saudi Arabia. The answer must be within few seconds. this is impossible specially for unprepared answers.
The show is aptly called: Conflict Zone.
Abdulrahman Hummadi Please remember that this is DW's English channel. It would be nice if you could leave a comment in English. Thanks. /sb
Translation added. Best Regards,
Cz thier audience is targeted to tell them those things especially the mistaken ideas about the kingdom and the system here.
الأمير ذكي بظهوره في هذي القناة الألمانية وضربة معلم كونه اعطاه النقيض من اتهاماته بكل رحابة صدر .. والرسالة وصلت ان معلوماته غير صحيحة وغير دقيقة .. وطلبه يجي بنفسه ويحكم بعدها.
تركي الفيصل مسخ لعنة الله على وجهه الخسيس ال سلول المراخين
Turki Al Faisel is a small thug.
The Baptist dont talk bad about people you dont know, relax
Extremely rude interviewer and very unfortunate that Prince Turki was obviously not feeling well in this interview. As a scholar of Gulf studies I have met him several times and must say that he normally is one of the most gifted speakers, as well as highly intelligent, unpretentious, kind hearted and amazingly wise.
It is certainly true that the Western media and sadly international human rights organizations have shown a predisposition against the Kingdom. What’s more is some of those alleged experts have never actually been in the country and reports are often entirely based on dissidents holding a serious grudge. Saudi Arabia as a developing country has made enormous progress in the past decades, in fact some critical observers wonder if the pace of social change is healthy for this deeply traditional society. What more is that the Kingdom has in the past century enjoyed the most liberal freedom of expression in respect to the other GCC countries and even controversial topics could openly be discussed in the media. This new era of liberalism was reversed with the appearance of MbS, consequently sadly making the Kingdom much more repressive (like the UAE or Qatar) in the past three years. Moreover, of course there are human rights violations in Saudi Arabia (just as elsewhere), especially when it comes to the treatment of foreign labor (here especially women). But if one is honest there have been campaigns against these practices from Saudi citizens, endorsed by the Saudi media and local human rights organizations. One needs to be very careful to judge from abroad and I am quite certain that most people that made a huge fuzz about a certain blogger never actually read some of the stuff he wrote. In my country (Germany) people who do not recognize the government and even openly call for violence against certain members of the government are being observed as well as prosecuted by the state, which makes me wonder why the Western world expects foreign governments to ignore such actions? That said, of course not every political prisoner in Saudi Arabia and especially in the smaller Gulf States has done something bad to end up in prison - still the West is gladly looking the other way when it comes to economic interests, so who exactly has double standards?
الشي السخيف والمضحك بنفس الوقت ان بلدي اكثر بلد متضرر بالهجمات الاهاربيه من الجماعات المتطرفة بالتاريخ ويقولون نحن من ندعهم ؟ ومازالت الى يومنا هذا النظرة الفوقيه والاستغفال والاستغلال التي لدى الانسان الاوروبي العنصري مستمره.. مع الوقت سيتم معرفة من انشىء هذي الجماعات وماهو هدفهم من زعزة الامن لدى الشعب العربي والاسلامي ؟ اتمنى ان يلقى عقاب حتى ولو بعد حين ..
I called them “Nasty international “ well said your highness.
If were him, I will not accept his request for such a hate.
Well spoken Al Turki
Most of these commentators are
after making a reputation to themselves by being so critical to their guests
despite the validity of the information at hand. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHTs Non
of these accusations is correct they just quote few random articles here and there.
Saad, you've made your point, please don't 'shout'. / fab
+DW English Writing in Capital letter is away to emphasis on the key message of the comment and not to shout 😁
@@dwnews German channel is afraid of a comment :)
Very friendly interview 😂
Things are complicated more than the interviewer ability to understand or maybe he knows but he want more excitement. The prince was very noble 👌
This journalist knows how to play the game.. Pushes the button then slowly goes around then hit again.. Waw..
If I was a prince I would do a bit of research of the interviewee.
The interviewer was not fit for this interview
Love watching the Prince and H.E. Adel Al-Jubeir of KSA, they are both calm and full of knowledge to share. They make you listen and understand what they are saying or explaining.
Proud to be 🇸🇦
The British guy is lier or he has no knowledge and knowing zero about Saudi Arabia.
I love how the Prince was very calm and cool
Lol when he said oh oh in the yemen issue
The fact is saudi Arabia is a country that takes it LAWS serious and justice a priority
This interview is biased unprofessional and basically untastful
I salute you prince Turkey!!!!!...
ah yes, his majesty prince turkey🦃 and his wife princess chicken 🐔
Human recht is a Joke you forget water bording
"Human rights groups "target Saudi Arabia"
Gee, go figure!
Disrespectful and awful interviewer. He’s picking whatever fits his twisted narrative even if it’s a lie.
صح لسانك ي أمير
What's the point to invite someone as a guest? You could invite anyone at the embassy in Turkey, no one will find anything controversial. While we all know what has happened. They were even broadcasting live the slaughtering probably for a higher Saudi official interrogating the poor man.
الفيصل اقهمه بردوده الهادئة مبتسم
It is funny that the same people, who abandoned their people and put the economic standing first when the crisis hit, are talking about human rights!!!
They will never compete with Saudi Arabia when it comes to human rights. Look around you:)
Every child on earth deserves a medical education under integration to study religiously
Nice job Tim.
From February, 2017. 👈
Tim bring ur Mum lol
If a professor wants to show his students how a provocative controversial unprofessional wicked interviewer looks like, he will share this interview with them. Ask the westerners who lives in Saudi Arabia about Saudi Arabia and hear the answer first hand.
The reporter is hating on saudi arabia , it's clearly he wanted to spread bad news about Saudi Arabia.
Even in the other interview with adel aljubair he is doing the same.
No he isn't, its true about Saudi Arabia
Anas Mohamed no it isn’t
It seems you already know the answers , why the interview !
mustafa1413 to show the people the answers
The Prince looks and sounds Native American.
its a justice court of what? i stop to look its so unfair
*Nasty international not amnesty*
*They are*
That’s actually a good one 🤣🤣🤣
Long live Prince Turki.
Hate crimes should be reformed ? Its wrong to hate another human being?? The Yemeni kids are under starvation ?
We are very proud of our country and leaders ❤ 👏 💙 💜 ♥ 🙌 ❤ 👏 💙 💜 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦
stop raping your domestic help. stop embassy killing.
DW English! Why you using unprofessional interviewer? You are clearly Bad Journalist in my opinion.
Saudi was unjustly maligned here;
we have no alternative facts, In Saudi Arabia: we have air, water, food, oil, money, electricity, internet,TVs, i phones, stadiums, roads and cars, we have airports, planes and trains,
we have a great religion and mosques, we have culture and values, we have laws and rules, as others we have crimes and prisons for criminals,
we have safety, security, and stability, we have integrity and equality and harmony, we have a high self-esteem and respect, also we have connections (intimacy and love),
we can marry and have families(incuraged and supported by our lovely goverment), we can move and exercise, we can rest and sleep; we have housing supported by the government, we have a free education up to the PhD and we can easily get a scholarship to study a broad, we have a high quality hospitals and clinicians with a free (life time health insurance), we have firms, factories, manufactures, engineers, and technicians, we have jobs and businesses, we have holidays and mostly we can travel anywhere we wanted, we have much happier life (AlhamduliAllah) than others in so many different countries. We have ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.ect
And YES we have some issues which are normally happen everywhere and i can see NO reason why they focus only in here. ????
We are a great nation, very proud and too ambitious, with our government we can do a lot of reforms and changes to institution and practice.
It's clear that those Americans know more about your country than you already know. You don't have to mention what Saudi Arabia has and what Saudis are capable of. Western media tries to spread misleading facts when it comes to ME.
Nawaf Alshammary You're repeating Al-Saud propaganda. It's so sad how they treat us like sheep. I'm sure you heard that walls has "ears", and "you're going beyond the sun if you say that". That just can't be acceptable among humans.
Saudi from South of Saudi Arabia. I agree with you. And I love ❤️ my government.
Rebel I don’t need to google anything I am a Saudi and I live in Saudi Arabia and I see with my own eyes who they are. By the grace of Allah and their fair ruling I am a PhD student studying abroad with a government scholarship. Tell me that this happens in a country that oppressed its citizens.
Besides all the above, I do not wish a Leader Ship Than "AL Saud" and never will be.
Tim Sebastian's suit, Walmart.
Prince Turkis suit, Saville Row.
God bless you Prince! You left no space for false accusations from all of these anonymous/hatful sources, and at the end of the tunnel you are the master in any “CONFLICT ZONE.”
I wonder what this interview would have been like after the killing of Mr.Kashoggchi?
Royals came by people's choice!! this is like saying USA is a kingdom!!
It's because you don't understand what tribes and their relations mean. But actually this is how most countries came about in the gulf area, and that's actually true.
26 That’s horrible even to do to evil people
Proud of prince Turki Al-Faisal.
The prince is so smart and perfectly know what he has to say
The interviewer was so silly and it seems to me that he had some thing personal with the interviewee
Tim was too soft on this guy
It is the law in Saudi Arabia wich sucks.- Oh, and by the way, the men too...
Dictators will NEVER accept or respect the human rights. This interview is waist of time👎
Please go to Israel and India talk to these nations. Shameful Western anchors on payroll of Mosad and CIA.
tim we know that your are a tough and all of that. but turki is no joke. the man is frozen inside and you cant do anything to get him. trust me on that
Allah wants the every best for every child on earth to have the best health care possible
These questions if it was toward one of the well known countries it will knock off the hidden truth . The Saudi prince was not shady as the interviewer showing off how smart he is when even the questions was provided from a group of criminals so called human rights , we were born known whats right and whats wrong. I will say this if you do not like the country you live in and do not like how they live you should leave somewhere else Allah won't forget you you will find your blessing where you go .
the dialogue is between BIAS and TRUTH. Tim Sebastian is full of bias and prejudices. That's why he is afraid to accept the invitation for him to see for himself.
The Messiah (Jesus) son of Mary HE IS not GOD, God almighty can NOT have a human Mother so are they saying the GOD almighty is half Human? Search for the truth "one message foundation" here UA-cam
turki al faisal same as his dad
haha why is this interview so funny
Varmin.
3:30 LOL 😜
