Stephen Sackur talks to Major General Mansour Al-Turki, a senior Interior Ministry official in Saudi Arabia, and asks if the House of Saud is in need of major repair.

Its monarchy, wedded to a conservative brand of Sunni Islam, is locked in a struggle for regional power with Shia Iran, which is playing out in the conflicts in Yemen and Syria. Its relations with the USA are strained and its human rights record has been widely condemned.
