Saudi prince: Obama 'not been successful in our region'

In a rare interview, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has told ITV News that he has hopes that President Obama's second term will see him focus more on the Middle East:

Frankly speaking, Obama has not been very successful in our region here. I hope a second term will prove to be different to his first term.
