What's Behind Saudi Arabia's Arrest of Religious Leaders? | Inside Story
Three of his sons - Abdul Rahman, Abdullah and Ibrahim - were also detained. Rights groups say Abdul Rahman and Abdullah were reportedly taken into custody while attending a family wedding on Wednesday. While Hawali and his son Ibrahim were arrested the following morning.
Hawali became known almost three decades ago as the leader of the Sahwa movement - which advocated for democracy in Saudi Arabia. He was previously detained for opposing the ruling family. Saudi Arabia, under Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, has launched a crackdown against activists, religious figures and opponents in recent months. But how far will this go?

US - UK: What Now for the 'Special Relationship'? | Inside Story
Arriving straight from a NATO summit that was predictably contentious, the US president has been greeted with massive protests on his first trip to London since taking office. And, as May struggles to hold her own government together, with the never-ending arguments about Brexit negotiations, threatening to tear her Conservative party apart. Only hours after arriving, Trump made the prime minister's life even more difficult, with scathing criticism of her in a newspaper interview. And he went out of his way to talk up one of her main rivals, Boris Johnson, who resigned earlier this week as Foreign Secretary.
Trump said May's in trouble because she ignored his advice on both Brexit and migration. And he thinks Johnson would make a great prime minister. Aside from being an epic breach of both diplomatic protocol and simple manners, Trump's interview brought other questions into sharp relief: Can May survive if Brexit no longer holds the promise of a separate trade agreement with the United States? Can NATO survive the additional strain of a rift between its two top military contributors? And, what about the so-called "special relationship" that supposedly links the British and American governments?

What Is Brexit? Government Sets Out Most Detailed Plan
Theresa May declared it "absolutely delivers on the Brexit we voted for." But many Tory Eurosceptics disagree and Labour attacked it as muddled and bad for Britain. Those divisions mean instead of clarity, many feel there's more uncertainty than ever, as we get closer to the no deal cliff edge in March.

Will Trump's Nominee for Supreme Court Pass the Senate Vote? | Inside Story
The president's nomination of Republican loyalist Brett Kavanaugh is opposed by Democrats. They say Trump's trying to tilt the nine justices in the highest court in the land towards the conservative right.
Advocacy groups have already begun spending millions of dollars to persuade senators to make the right choice when they vote in the autumn. Their confirmation is expected to shape the Supreme Court for many years to come.
On Inside Story, an in-depth discussion on the rôle of the Supreme Court in the U.S. system.
Presenter: Laura Kyle | Guests: Sandy Levinson, professor of government at the University of Texas Law School; Kenneth Joast, author of the Superme Court Yearbook and legal affiars blog, Jost on Justice; Matthew Mack-o-veeyack, Republican consultant and former aide to President George W Bush

What If NATO Members Ignore Trump's Call on Spending? | Inside Story
The New York Times says Trump wrote to NATO members, including the leaders of Belgium, Canada and Germany. In his letter to Chancellor Angela Merkel, he warned that what he called Germany's continued under-spending on defence undermines the security of the alliance.
Will NATO members heed Trump's call? And is the North Atlantic alliance still relevant?

Conservatives’ Civil War over Brexit?
It feels as though an out-and-out civil war is in full swing within the party as battle lines are drawn in the run-up to Friday's crucial meeting at Chequers, where Theresa May will thrash out the government's Brexit policy with her cabinet. Two Conservative MPs, leading Brexiteer John Redwood, and Simon Hoare, who earlier today tweeted that Jacob Rees-Mogg's warning to the Prime Minister was "blackmail" and "hectoring nonsense", give their views.
