Riyadh's Middle East power struggle and the role of the news media. Plus, the challenge of covering Manus Island.
Lebanon's PM and Saudi Arabia's power play
In just two weeks, the new Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salmanhas upended both the domestic and the regional balance of power with a series of moves that have left observers struggling to keep up.
Regional media have reported the resignation of the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, the arrest of dozens of princes and businessmen and the threat of regional conflict through the political positions that they bring to the mix.
International media have also shown their colours by selectively seeing what they want to see in the new prince.
