for fact this visit to berlin is the first stop in a whistle stop tour as it were of europe's capitals taking in berlin taking in paris taking in london where mr netanyahu will be meeting with the heads of government heads of state to try to get their support for his view which is that the deal with iran needs to be repudiated as it has been by the united states government of president donald trump but so far at least the european leaders have been steadfast have said no they believe that the best way to prevent an iranian nuclear weapon is by this deal being enforced behind all of it is of course their concern that european industries that want to invest in tehran are now concerned about what might happen if sanctions are imposed. we need some kind of a delay should we also say we need to talk about their activities and say yes but we think that through tough negotiations through joint negotiations this would be possible. meanwhile iran's supreme leader says his country has no intention of

u.a.e. behind and egypt sever ties with qatar and impose their forward blockade it's game after qatar state news agency was packed and fake news posted on it. own investigation has found the group behind the hacking works from a saudi government ministry in riyadh and these phones and computers were connected to the saudi communications company in a separate development the arabia threatening military action against acquires washer weapons those reports in two of the biggest newspapers in france the figo and le monde they say the saudi crown prince has written to the presidents of friends and the united states of america and the u.k.'s prime minister warning his ready to retaliate if other acquires the s four hundred anti-aircraft defense systems the threat of military action against is not due the blockade in countries were reportedly planning of the beginning of the crisis one year ago. as we

mentioned the crisis began to unfold with qatar news agency was hacked on the twentieth of may for statements are to be to the emir of qatar were posted on the agency's website and broadcast by. the media the hacking came three days after u.s. president donald trump met arab leaders in saudi arabia and addressed the riyadh summit on june the fourth hacked e-mail accounts of the us ambassador to the united states use a fellow table revealed his involvement in a long running campaign to undermine qatar the next day saudi arabia u.a.e. behind idiot cut ties with qatar and impose a land sea and blockade the accused oh how supporting terrorism which qatar denies the four countries them place fifteen individuals and twelve from gaza or what it calls terror list the group then sent qatar a list of thirteen demands including shutting down al-jazeera media network curbing

relations with iran and closing a turkish military base it hosts a year on very still no and to the crisis. let's bring in our guests joining us in the studio abdulaziz a director of the diplomatic of the qatari ministry of foreign affairs from kuwait . a professor of political science of the kuwait university has just written a book on the g.c.c. crisis root cause and the future of the g.c.c. alliance also in doha director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies of the it's you thank you to all of that as is one year after the crisis has been a judge to whether the blockade actually it has managed and it has managed successfully and to economy politics. media from all means i think that there has managed to manage this huge crisis not only

this even politically speaking now qatar is not talking about its own security a stalking about the region and the region security therefore his highness the emir in the munich conference has a proposed the idea of signing a regional security agreement and bella that want to protect or assure the security and safety of all countries in the air each in assure that each country no matter the size of the country can a pact is their sovereignty and independence of other life remember a year ago we were talking about the crisis triggered in true true during one of the most difficult moments for the region it seems like all the whole region was in unchartered territory we still within that unchartered territory unfortunately.

this sense this. place to start. just. normal now. this is the most devastating part of this crisis. as does the major war or the g.c.c. alliance as that they meet general or to the actual events you saw of a few years back when king abdullah. of saudi arabia and twenty eleven suggested moving from cooperation to gulf union everybody was on or. get out of us learns a mighty schemes that just to see finally was going to be leading the other war where other major powers in the out of would have been in shambles the crisis that they were going through the associated with what was called the arab spring and now we are just hoping and wishing and praying that. with the offing

a lot might expect patients to just going back to war with the way we where. previous join fifteen twenty seventy in the watershed event that is the really obviously from a still thinking its toll on us has really a lot of the cheve that it's economic but that it's on the very people whether it's corporation and also cast it in asia or shadow of doubt on the united states as a government tour of this region why this is why the cut there is have to rely on fuel hundreds of turkish soldiers to save gardens territories and sovereignty and wellbeing while a cut that has eleven thousand u.s. soldier will the largest air base for united states outside of the united states what are they doing that we'll talk in detail later in the show about the role of the united states of america in this crisis assault on there's always been talk

about a political way out of this crisis but then when you hear the reports from the front from the french newspapers to figure out on the morning about saudi arabia threatening mystery action against qatar if you ask why is the s. four hundred. one from russia that is an indication that we could see even further worse happening in the future. i think the likelihood is that the there will be more escalation of. threats particularly if potter does acquire those aircraft missiles however i think. the interests of everyone in the region. it is time to turn again to a diplomatic process and really exert much greater effort in trying to. bring an end to this blockade. or that as he's caught us says that he has managed to contain

a quiet but other costs manageable in a way or another because you know the taliban have to tap into the wealth funds to be able to compensate for the for the damages created by the blockade is this something the qatar can sustain of the near future actually everybody is losing in this meaningless foyt or a struggle of power we lose they lose we lose dollars they lose dollars a minister the minister of finance of qatar has said we bleed they bleed yes this this a book it has caused a huge a financial impact not only in qatar on qatar and on the located in contending we are in a resource help in the whole region the most stable used to be the most stable region and the whole area over there but qatar managed throughout

the year to really. make sure that its economy and its situation is really a strong one indicator or one strong indicator when qatar issued the bourne and and asked for eight billion u.s. dollars they attracted fifty billion u.s. dollars to choose that not only qatar has managed to really instill the trust and its economy even the whole world is adjusting the economy of qatar u.s. president donald trump initially backed saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and the group's block a vigorous qatar but his says call for science to resolve the dispute middle east reveal how lobbying has played a role in influencing trump his particle hey you washington. the nation of qatar on fortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism it was a shock in washington and across the globe a u.s.

president publicly going after cutter a close ally that houses the biggest u.s. base in the middle east siding with the blockading countries. at the time many believe the saudis fawning treatment of him in riyadh played a part but we now know thanks to e-mails leaked to the associated press that the push to get the president to side with saudi arabia and the united arab emirates began months before the emails are from brodie a big time republican fundraiser according to the a.p. he was working with george nader who said he was close to both of the crown princes from saudi arabia and the u.a.e. broady reportedly lobbied the president and later received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of defense deals from the u.a.e. in one e-mail bertie boasted about his role writing trumps vocal support of saudi arabia at this summit quote is a direct result of the campaign we have led over the past two months to highlight the funding of terrorism by cutter and the muslim brotherhood brody is suing cutter

that are presented by the state department by the pentagon by the intelligence community by even the. action of approach by the national security council and the spirit the advise the he took a more neutral stand then later on were present when when there were president bush received the emir of qatar in april his show on. any other factor with praise of his captors or as an ally and defend the united states' interests as a fighter against terrorism sort of politics is locking as they say in and out of the states and clearly was abroad the with pushing with the mystic and bill even related to president trump's immediate family played a major proponent fortunately intertwined with not a sister to interests and the result is that we have it was sure to plot the united states and lacked the leverage that not focus its that it did not play its

leadership role to support the kuwaiti mediation of it's led by the quake and there that everybody the supports these lip service but at the end of the day you have ignited states lewsey and this crisis because its major allies in the region are bickering and fighting and united states just by sucking and watching without much good result this is this really critical crisis for united states and theirs and all the more than and does it want to stand up to the iran and terrorism then we have really the make up in the gulf the allies in the gulf will be they'll be on the same page ok and could this be a sign that the u.s. influence is waning in the region. i don't think so i think the u.s. is playing for its own interest. as you know trump has been very determined to extract as much well from the from the gulf and invested in the u.s.

as possible in the last year or so and employment has dropped significantly in the united states exports has increased contracts in billions of dollars have been signed gulf countries are. racing to try and. as many contracts as possible so i think he's very much playing to to his own interest to his own audience and the ultimate losers of the gulf states and it's not just about creating jobs and opportunities in the u.s. in terms of selling military hardware but it's also in terms of pursuing his objectivity of the israel and jerusalem this crisis has made the or gave the impression impression that the best way to influence trump is through israel and all arab countries involved have tried to

cause up to the israelis in one way or the other and of course the ultimate price that was paid was the move the movement of the embassy to jerusalem as is still the same hopes of we've seen in the past over the kuwaiti mediation is going to work do you think this has the potential to work against the backdrop of the positions that we've seen particular from saudi arabia at least qatar is showing since you really believe in the kuwaiti mediation has been and it's still supporting this mediation will it work or not this will depend on a lot of external factors one factors is ready to do. it is ready to sit on the table as i wanted to put all the concerns on the table but without a pretty conditions without a pretty air demands. that is cut off the external factors is the book

aiding countries and and others who have interest in this blockade of the surprises to continue we believe in the kuwaiti mediation did has worked to be before and it has the potential to work but it's on the table. there's been an attempt by the u.s. to salvage a deal in april but the u.s. position has delayed meeting the talks about potential meeting between. trump in september why it's after the united nations general assembly gathering is it still possible to see arab league the gulf set aside their differences and talk about a peaceful way out. well i thought that to come to fruition and i think that he things have happened at play between now and september september as now slated for

awfully the fourth of g.c.c. us the world has become an annual gathering or an annual summit at the place of plenty for the atlanta sixteen seventeen and no twenty eight in it would be the first since the crisis has rocked it first of all the i think there has has to be a rational approach to this crisis has proven that there is not a shred of the that is not rational approach that it's not a plan b. and that says zero sum game that lose lose for everybody not that this winning except our adversities and the united states and the iran and the those all hardliners who would like to see us but i haven't. so maybe we could work things out of around the fifteen demands and the six principles that we just mixed up together and we talk about fighting terrorism without about stopping the lifeblood

of supporting and financing terrorism and hearing for the not intervention safeguarding of sovereignty supporting the quick to the issue number two and united states has evaded who has to get off its back and to stop playing some kind of leverage and or stand just secrets it's not a priority considering the in turmoil that the and the scandals that president tom finds himself in with the with the russian probe and with today's are talking about he could walk up part of the himself with that could be an issue with the russian intervention so just to see crisis is not up there in their radars ok but still for the united states and its allies the united states president to play a major leverage on supporting equate the initiative and mediation and for the produce you see that there is either the camp of their sense of ok to sit down and i don't things are because this. the longer it drags on everybody is losing over this winnie so time you know there are many political analysts who are really

pursue mystic about any possible way out of this crisis in the near future my question is why what's nest if all the parties remain entrenched on their positions. i think let's take for qatar to start with qatar i think has two options one option is to continue as it is now trying to build its own resilience and to rely less and less on its neighbors and to build the greater alliances internationally and the other option i think and this is something that is the core of the wealth of qatar is that they really need to start to think strategically in terms of the. gas market to measure contracts soon do for renewal with korea and japan then they provide maybe forty percent of the income of qatar and those has got to be the priority i think it is time for qatar to stop worrying about the issue in terms of crisis management mood and start to work long

term it is very important that they secure contracts with with their customers particularly i think south. korea and japan and and really start thinking differently one way of doing so is to maybe revive the idea of liquid guys or gals cartmell that was discussed in the past maybe with the russians the jury and the rain ians and others so that their livelihood is protected if they continue to be worried about what the united states will think and what the united states will do given the very. careless i think foreign policy so far from from trump they they are only likely to lose they've already tried it's been a year if i were to say. six months ago we would have said yes maybe there's

a hole but it can be resolved they can reconcile but for this kind of blockade to continue for a whole year and no signs of it coming to an end is really very very this is and this. it's to take us of the idea of what's next for qatar in particular and for the region with the arab league should have played the road it isn't the g.c.c. should have stepped it didn't. do the qataris trust the regional institutions you know are actually qatar i agree with that with what sultan here qatar has already factored into the cost as management would now is thinking of the future now they know the capacity of the league they nor the capacity of the islamic illegally nor the capacity of the gulf cooperation and the limitations of all this organization qatar is now redefining redefining its alliances are redefining its deal gadhafi it's redefining its. politics as redefining

everything even if. its economy future so it's. really an exercise a comprehensive exercise of redefining everything around its sovereignty and independence see less than a minute please the political order of the has prevailed in the g.c.c. countries before the crisis is it still viable can it still prevail in the future. it's very it's tough it's called the g.c.c. now there's a lot of support system but one thing for sure i think the lack of we need confidence building measures one thing for sure is that things are not going to go but the way they will or. even i expect in a few years from now as i stated in my just published book on the g.c.c.

crisis at all it closes and the future of this is aligned we could see the different players region and international players playing a major role when the united states epic a decision and not played its role as an either of the free world as they play then we're going to expect to see a different landscape in the next couple of years or even maybe few a few years from now major players are going to come to this speech and and we're going to see that here and landscape and the g.c.c. and the gulf are the law says that as a hostile public at this always good to talk to you thank you thank you for having you on the program and thank you for watching you can see the program again and a time by visiting our website dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page best facebook dot com for slash a.j. insights so you can also join the conversation on twitter that is a j incisively for me hashemite about our whole team here by phone now.

house to reports. he was the man behind jordan's recent proposed tax hike and a stare to measures that led to six days of protests now prime minister hani muki is out. of the past week nightly rallies the largest in five years have intensified protesters marched by his residence on sunday chanting we are coming animal but if the government must step down the tax law must be withdrawn these demands and we don't want the next government to implement the same policies either jordanians are furious that his plan raising employees taxes by as much as five percent would squeeze them financially to the brink the capital amman is ranked as the arab world's most expensive city there's high unemployment in prices of basic goods over rocketing jordan's a dependent economy has been struggling with the large influx of syrian refugees arriving in recent years added to this previous financial supporters like the

u.a.e. u.s. and saudi arabia have dramatically cut their donations the hashemite kingdom is thirty seven billion dollars in debt that's equivalent to ninety five percent of its gross domestic product the government secured more than seven hundred million in credit from the international monetary fund three years ago the loan was intended to help growth and lower public debt the i.m.f. also imposed tough fiscal conditions including hikes in general sales tax and ending bread subsidies a staple of the poor but opponents warn these measures hurt poor and middle class families analysts say there is a general lack of trust now people are looking for a paradigm shift they're not looking for changing faces like you know. second one prime minister and getting another one they're looking for a change in the policies of the policies have been detrimental to the daily lives of the people and in jordan and they're looking for changes in these in these policies. king abdullah has named. a former world bank economist and the previous

education minister to take over as prime minister but it's not clear if these changes will be enough to calm the rest. is there i'm joined now via skype by janice tennant luck who is in amman thanks so much for coming on to al-jazeera and now that the prime minister has gone a former world bank economist is the important place is this going to be enough to stop the demonstrations on the streets you think well this alone certainly will be enough jordan has seen protests in the past or the arab spring and prime ministers came and went without substantial changes i think these protesters are aware of that change of personnel is not really a change of policy they want to see concrete steps such as withdraw this income tax law or freestar stared in bushes for the even start considering going back to their homes for the economy is in dire straits at the moment what what what must this new guy in challenge do really if he wants to turn as

a story to measures around us not going to slow the economy out. well i think the first thing for most us most important things for him to reach out to these disaffected young jordanians i mean these protesters they're not politically driven this isn't the muslim brotherhood or communists leftists these are families these are young independent or damien's these are you know you with that have no real political him but they are you but a class upper middle class across the board they need to be engaged the decision making process and i think all matters i was in addition to being a world bank executive he was also education minister which means that he has had a track record of working with young people and the most critical aspect of his job is to get those young to damien's feel part of the decision making process and then biggest artists gussy what they could potentially do but nordic on the street he has to make them feel all so many people think of jordan i think of them on a k. as as a stabilizing so have pressure renee and how is their relationship now and how do

you think the protests to see and the king. well actually at least until today i mean people have seen the monarchy as a savior they want the king to intervene they want the king to provide solutions they want direct action it's not a protest against the king or against you know the powerless rather the opposite they want the king to come in and to clean up and to get rid the prime minister how does the first stop a second step according to protesters is to dissolve parliament which they see is not representative of the people who are the people's will the third step is to freeze austerity measures so they are looking to the king as a savior and if he or let's say the people he appoint fail to address those concerns that might create a bit of a gap then a visit jordan must be looking at what's going on in the country right now and i suspect that worrying about the stability. oh obviously this is a big concern on the radar for israel first of all out in the longest border with jordan with saudi arabia as well even other gulf countries you can see the u.a.e.

crompton's called up the last night i was so this is you know you know for a lot of the arab states they're already off but he thinks other jordan is now added to it of things to watch it's obvious about the media concerned but all of a sudden the the once constant bedrock of stability in the region also has a question mark you know pretty very grey for fair sharing your thoughts with us on this speaking to you from from among his. rescue a single time ah searching for survivors after sunday's volcanic eruption that killed at least thirty three people the country's disaster agency says two million people have been affected by the massive explosion and the most violent eruption of a four way go volcano in more than forty years and the dust cloud is now threatening the capital guatemala city just thirty kilometers away devon message has no. scenes of devastation in guatemala after sunday's volcanic blast the fire go volcanoes eruption sent lava dreaming down the highway

houses near the base of the volcano were buried by a mixture of mud and lava dozens were killed and many have been injured survivors expect the death toll to rise but i think that of course not you know not everyone escaped i think they were buried we thought the lava pouring through the cornfield and we ran towards a hill more than three thousand people from several farming villages near the volcano have been evacuated from their homes rescuers say their operations will continue through the night and they hope to be able to reach areas that have been cut off from help. what a mollusc president has put the country on red alert if. we decided to call for a cabinet meeting we are going right now to the presidential house to issue a declaration of a state of emergency we believe based on a legislative law that we can declare a state of calamity in at least three departments volcanic ash spewed into the sky

six thousand meters above sea level and fell more than forty kilometers away in guatemala city authorities were forced to temporarily closed the city's international airport that i was sort of. we shut it down as a precautionary measure for the planes because volcanic ash is harmful to the turbines right now we are carrying out inspections and we have found a lot of. the forego volcano is one of central america's most active volcanoes this is that second eruption this year and the biggest in decades and experts say the four go volcanoes theory might not be over yet david mercer al-jazeera guatemala and david now joins us on the phone from a shelter in the. coast of a volcano david give us an idea of the sort of conditions that you're seeing out on the ground. it was on friday i'm actually not at the shelter yet but i did just leave the site for the bride and it is really

a good sixteen. middle of the rainy season here everything is lush to clean and get there on the slopes for the for the volcano everything is just action all right everything is color covered with. highway to pass through there has been covered in two different spots and there's a lot of efforts right now to try to get that highway clear to allow some of these emergency vehicles to get a little bit closer to the epicenter of the slide now that's where marty and laugh i tamed down and down like through an entire village i was there you know in what area was there for only about fifteen minutes it told four bodies out of the house there going into the house and just looking for looking for a body because they didn't really bodies that looking for one of the rescue rescuers that i was speaking to was saying that it's very little hope at this stage that they're going to find any survivor and really you can feel that he's just

walking over top the sands of this bill the wrong. place and we can see that being at the rising up really difficult for rescuers and really traffic in guatemala here and they do well so just things david the rescue is the relief effort i suppose now you're saying it's full of the full state of things divine needle sort of international give a problem we need on the ground. well i think it's going to be the reconstruction effort goes in at this stage there's very little hope they're going to find any survivors it's just a matter of trying to trying to get all the bodies out but it's going to be the reconstruction which is going to be more difficult now the president of guatemala actually was there on the site while i was there and he's come under a lot of criticism over the past for allegedly hides the corruption before asking where the funny going to come from for the reconstruction and you know the syrian everybody that is going to the emergency meeting called for in that they're going to release these emergency funds. out from some of the coverage that might be

a little comfort to people who have just lost everything that they've had a bucket in of the we're going to be seen in the coming days how glad to see if there's also think of the criticism about the fact that the design does disaster agency did let people know that the volcano was about to rocked and indeed when they were being shouted out to get a little of it was already very thought well you hearing on the ground well they were saying that they were able to get the evacuation that it does to some people but the people were just lightly south i mean fifteen yards out of the area that was really devastated but people did they thought the person that does the path for love was going to come down and it actually went a little bit farther up and it sounds like they just weren't able to get the message through to those people but they came down so fast and furious and then there's a couple of routes that the last always closed down then a full a no but because of.
