1:02 pm
by the conflict in yemen both in the air and on the ground. and just this past week i personally reached out to my counterparts in 40 countries around the world, in the coalition and asked them to contribute more, and many cases contribute to much more enhancing the fight against else. >> leaders of the council are meeting in riyadh with syria high up on the agenda. saudi arabia's king salman said that they remain committed to finding a solution in syria. >> the international community has a joint responsibility in
1:03 pm
fighting terrorism and extremism, and a kingdom of saudi arabia has exerted a lot of effort in this regard. we'll continue our efforts with coordination and cooperation with our sisterly countries because islam rejects terrorism. >> from doha we'll here more in a moment, but first roslind jordan in washington, d.c., who listened earlier to what ash carter had to say. i wonder what in picker is making him so very frustrated. >> well, the fact is that the u.s. wanted this coalition of 65 countries as of right now to really be reflective of various political and regional demographics. but it's not getting that representation. most important in the military component of fighting isil, which is the ongoing airstrike
1:04 pm
campaign against isil targets in both iraq and in syria. now while saudi arabia, the u.a.e. jordan have all been involved for just a few examples in the airstrikes early on, they haven't been for the better part of the last year. that's because of the situation in yemen. the saudis have put together their own coalition to try to support the government of president hadi, who has been fighting the houthis for control of the country, and the u.s. has been very quietly but very knowingly been frustrated with this diversion, as it were, in what it considers a larger security problem in the region which they say is isil. this was a very public calling out, as it were, by the defense secretary to members of the gcc that there is a much bigger fight in the u.s.' view. in order for the u.s. not to be
1:05 pm
scen seen as the sole aggressor of this fight, they want to see more cooperation from the gcc as well as the other countries across the middle east. >> we've got russia, we've got britain france among other countries taking part in the bombing campaign, maybe a small part, but is there a sense in the united states that the broad coalition has failed? >> there isn't this idea that the coalition has failed. one of the points that the obama administration has always tried to make is that the different members of the coalition are going to contribute where they most feel capable. but when it comes to the military component the u.s. is very sensitive to its invasion in the wake of iraq back in 2003. and it does not want this situation in iraq and in syria
1:06 pm
to have that same american cast, as it were. >> thank you, roz. rosalind jordan monitoring events in riyadh. first up, let's talk about what the gcc countries are doing in terms of trying to end the war in syria. are any of those nations actively involved in the airstrikes? >> yes, the gcc countries have been working from day one since the beginning of the war in syria to try and support the rebels in their effort to topple syrian president bashar al-assad. that situation has gone through a lot of phases from the expectation on the gulf countries that the u.s. was going to bomb assad after he used--banned weapons against his people there according to the reports. and then the frustration that
1:07 pm
the u.s. shrinked from that after assad offered to give up those weapons. then they moved on to a phase where the americans offered to train the rebels, that didn't get many results. it's been a long list of frustration on the gulf of the gcc countries. they're criticizing the u.s. role-- >> but first of all can we establish if any of the countries are involved in the bombing campaign still? >> yes, we all know that they've been involved. we also know that they've been stuck in yemen, and they need to shift their priorities. they seized to a tremendous degree their role hazard chinked with regards to syria and with regards to yemen. they think this is a priority for them. here we see the two sides are
1:08 pm
not on the same imagine in terms of priorities. the gulf countries are back in yemen, and they think they have to deal with that first, and they link it to iran, and they link that as well to a failure in their opinion on the part of western countries with regards to curb iran's influence in the region. we have the west on one hand and the gcc countries on the other hand talking about two different issues, two sets of priorities. the gulf countries in the summit today, the leaders, have been talking about the fact that the roots of these problems should be addressed first. we remember the palestinian-israeli conflict has been going on for more than 60 years, and remember the accumulation of frustrations on the part of the arab people that the americans have not been serious enough or capable of dealing with that issue. poverty, ignorance in the arab world, not supporting education
1:09 pm
or even democracy in the eyes here the americans have not helped in the revolution against bashar al-assad. that's one of the root causes of what is happening in the region. for them the two sides really have to talk about issues in a new light, and they have to address the real issues. not just isil. isil in the gulf countries and isis is product of what has been going on for a long time and ignored by western leaders. >> hundreds of rebel fighters and their families have begun leaving the syrian city homs under supervision. they're heading to idlib now under opposition control. had is part of a cease-fire deal arranged by the government. >> this is the result of more than two years of pore readiening and difficult negotiations. hundreds of people including fighters and their families are leaving this district in the city of homs.

1:11 pm
control, and fighters who choose to stay will have their legal status settled. it also says that all rebels will leave the district in two months. >> i would like to reassure that not everyone in homs has left. although those whose families are outside, we are steadfast in the front lines. neither armed groups nor the biggest brigades have left. there is no mass departure. this is our neighborhood, and we should defend it. >> they say the rebels had no other choice but to accept the deal because the blockade caused a crisis. the area has been besieged by government forces for more than two years. food and medical supplies have were only allowed in sporadically. but no aid for months for the people who live there had. the deal is similar to the one
