Desert Song
The song the Saudis sing as the oil slurp-slurps into the barrel is a lament for the good old days when OPEC ruled the pipelines and the pumps.

Mary Goldring explains why as she discovers where the oil billions have gone and what sort of country this secretive desert kingdom has become. Producer DAVID MORTON
