Stephen Sackur speaks to Abdullah Alaoudh, a Saudi exile whose father is facing charges that carry a death sentence. President Trump says he doesn't know whether Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and frankly he doesn't seem to care. It is therefore perhaps safe to assume then that he also doesn't care about the hundreds of clerics, intellectuals, and dissident activists locked up by MBS's security forces.
