Saudi
Arabian journalist Jamal
Khashoggi is interviewed by Tim Sebastian on BBC News 24's HARDtalk
tonight.
Two
months ago Jamal Khashoggi was fired from his job as editor of the
main reformist newspaper in Saudi Arabia.
He
had spoken out against the Islamist clerics in the country, who
had failed to denounce the May bomb attack in Riyadh.
His
ousting from Al-Watan marked the end of the "Riyadh spring"
- a new willingness in Saudi Arabia to criticise and question the
kingdom's powerful religious establishment.
He's
now advising the Saudi Arabian ambassador to London, Prince Turki
Al-Faisal. He talks to Tim Sebastian.
HARDtalk
is on BBC News 24 at 11.30pm today (Wednesday 30 July 2003).
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.
Freeview
offers the BBC's eight television channels, interactive services
from BBCi, as well as 11 BBC radio networks.
