that anyone with that would be associated with them so the brotherhood is is labelled as terrorist isn't possible it's very very difficult and it's really contradictive on the arab street but so they need to revisit really their position on number of of those issues that would what's stopping them is it hubris is it. always a pressure coming on to not make it what is stopping them israel isn't enough pressure on them saudi arabia economically is not really feeling the pressure of this blockade as much as. the united arab emirates is feeling strong and is engaged in number of adventures in yemen and elsewhere of success possibly and they haven't really been threatened sufficiently particularly with the current position of qatar supplying will continue to supply dubai with gas now the qataris are sticking to this because they're they respect the international deal and the suppliers in between and so on ok where does the greater to come from where should the threat come from it's not going to come from so who will pick that up i think

actually for to mobilise to think slightly differently about this to look more into the future in a more sustainable ways and one way is to start to build a new alliance i mean they have now tried for a year it's not possible to salvage the gulf cooperation as it was before they now need to think of a different alliance and i suspect maybe something around gas exporting countries in particular russia iran even algeria would help place them into the future particularly now that many of the current contracts are coming for renewal. in countries like japan and korea there's a lot of competition coming from elsewhere strayer united states and they really need to to make sure that those contracts. are fixed for the next ten years or so because their livelihood their ability to remain resilient is very much dependent on the gas supply. all right so tom brokaw thank you very much and.

also look at how the blockades affected the cattle national airline later in the program and iran will inform the u.n. nuclear watchdog of plans to restart preliminary nuclear related processes iran's atomic energy organization says teheran has the capacity to accelerate the pathak production of centrifuges which are used to enrich uranium iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei has ordered preparations to go ahead if the twenty fifteen international nuclear deal falls apart after the u.s. quit the agreement. and. we got this message from some european countries we expect the iranian people to both tolerate the sanctions and deal with them they want us to go along with them and give away our nuclear energy activities and continue with the limitations i would tell these countries that they should be aware that this is a dream that will never come true the people of iran and the government of iran

humanitarian organizations and feeling our finding is that the are actively promoting migration of the borders of europe. but where are these mainly muslim illegal migrants that state run media relentlessly warned during the election campaign would flood hungary and undermine its christian values the advance of victory or ban and his policies has proved under stoppable in three consecutive parliamentary elections meanwhile the advance of muslim migration on this society has been pretty comprehensively stopped at what is now hungary's heavily fortified southern border it is as if this new legislation is aimed less at a legal migrants and more at civil society which brings us to the other great fear that stalks hungary's prime minister the billionaire financier george soros and the network of liberal minded n.g.o.s he supports him a bit fat. clear what kind of future he thinks of europe believes pro democracy is

fleet and adding more destinations a task and i am reports from hamad international airport in. qatar airways seems to be adhering to an arab proverb that says right the bad things in sand the good things on a piece of marble the state owned airline says despite the challenges of the year old blockade it received numerous industry accolades including best airline of twenty seven t. that that impact us that increased our flying time it put pressure on my operational cost but it did not stop the will and the determination of us to keep on our path of growth qatar airways says it's still auditing its books from last year and can't say exactly how much money the blockade has cost the airline but it says the losses are quote substantial. prior to the blockade its profits

were soaring in two thousand and sixteen it earned more than five hundred million dollars a historic high and flew twenty percent more passengers than the year before. qatar airways says it's defeating the blockade by implementing a strategy of expansion in the last year the airline has added a new fleet. planes allowing it to fly greater distances to more destinations when it lost access to routes in saudi arabia the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain it added them elsewhere and it forged international partnerships in the united states and italy but qatar airways has seen a twenty percent drop in passengers. the cargo division has managed to fill the void not only has it not posted any losses it is managed to maintain its perch as one of the top three cargo companies in the world. for more cargo perspective it's a lot easier to redeploy that capacity so what we have lost with the g.c.c.

countries we've managed to redeploy the challenges are still not to be able to serve eighteen destinations that we used to service the c.e.o. of qatar airways says the airline can shoulder losses for the foreseeable future and there's no need to ask the government for a bailout but he admits it will be a very different scenario for the company if the blockade becomes a long term reality for qatar natasha getting just don't die extensive coverage of the gulf crisis continues its route choose day has come all santa maria to tell you what's ahead. it's been quite the year here in qatar ever since the fifth of june twenty seventh seen when all of a sudden the border was shot and the country put on the blockade so we've got a special broadcast for you on tuesday as we look back on this quite extraordinary year not just how it happened and why it happened but how cutter has reacted the new lines of trade the change travel routes even cals being flown in to create

a new dairy industry not to mention all the while us here at al-jazeera continuing to do our jobs while the four blockading countries called for the network to be closed so join us later on tuesday will be nine pm here in doha will be live out in the bowels at the qatar a cultural village from home and international airport in doha and from kuwait city as mediation efforts continue plus in studio guests and experts and will be live streaming on facebook twitter and periscope so you can watch wherever you are and send us your thoughts and questions gulf crisis one year on al-jazeera news special eighteen hundred hours g.m.t. on tuesday we'll see you in. the south is there these are the top stories cattle is insisting it won't back down a year blockade imposed by saudi arabia the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain the foreign minister says his country won't be intimidated by reports of threats of

military action by riyadh if katz buys a defense system from russia. there is no legitimate grievance behind the threatening and violating the international law it's by writing or the international norms and. the most importantly it's violating the. g.c.c. charter which is the countries of the g.c.c. should not launch an attack against each other so we believe that this has no any legal basis to justify. any action we have been subject to a unilateral measure which was taken by by the saudis iran will inform the u.n. watchdog of plans to restart preliminary nuclear related processes if the twenty fifteen deal falls apart it comes after iran's supreme leader says it will go ahead again if it falls apart. those are the

headlines the news will continue in half an hour's time but right now it is inside story getting to the heart of the matter if. the supreme leader calls you today and says let's have talks would you accept facing realities what do you think reunification would look like there were two people think the peace corps unification is the only option for prosperity of south korea hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. it's one year since the book a deal of talk begun for scott size and if those the land sea and. the brain don't know how to study how they succeeded and is a settlement possible this is the inside story.

hello and welcome to the program hashem. a year ago four countries saudi arabia 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 work from a saudi government minister and his phones and computers were connected to the saudi communications company in a separate development size eurabia threatening military action against acquires washing 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 but the threat of military action against their house is not you located in

countries were reportedly planning it 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 a 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 inside 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 taber 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 to 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 abilities a director of the diplomatic the qatari ministry of foreign affairs from kuwait. a professor of political science at 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 he 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 domains 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 this country can practice their sovereignty and independence of the life you 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 used up 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 u.s. plans a mighty schemes that just to see finally was going to be leading the other board 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 we go back with the walking a lot might expect patients to just going back to all the way we where. previous join fifteen twenty seventy in the watershed event that's the really obviously from a still think it's toll on us has really a lot of our achievements whether it's economic what that it's on the dairy people whether it's corporation and also cast in asia showed of doubt on the united states as a government tour of this region why this is why i think that there is have to rely on fuel hundreds of turkish soldiers to save their opinions territories and sovereignty and well being while qatar 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 quiet 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 the figure out on the morning about saudi arabia threatening military action against qatar if you acquires 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 the quiet but other costs manageable in a way or another because you know the authorities then have to tap into the wealth funds to be able to compensate for the for the damages created by the blockade is this something i 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 minister the minister of finance 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 bond and asked for eight billion u.s. dollars they attracted fifty billion u.s. dollars it shows 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 blockade again qatar but his since called for science to resolve the dispute middle east with deal 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 email 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 qatar and the muslim brotherhood brody is suing cutter he says they hacked his e-mails a charge they deny but cutters facing more scrutiny because of another court case prominent guitars are being sued by rapper ice cube he says they didn't pay him as promised in a business deal and his partner testified that they tried to use them to get to steve bannon in testimony describing their offer as a bribe which they also deny all sides of spent millions of dollars on lobbyist trying to sway the traffic in a straight line country in the gulf region is a threat to global security are put in ads in the president's favor cable channels placing op eds in prominent papers lobbying lawmakers stand with the united states to defeat terrorism and. there are a lot of guys who are making an awful lot of money and mr former lobbyist steven billet thinks they're likely waste. millions of dollars because you never really

see any evidence of it later on you know you'll see decisions made at a later time that indicate that there was a positive outcome according to the new york times the saudis and u.a.e. offered to help the drone campaign before the election it's unclear if anything was done on his behalf with their money but it's an allegation special counsel robert muller is likely looking at the man at the center of many of these questions george nader is cooperating with the investigation. al-jazeera washington the la why has the u.s. which has huge lever in the region has failed to bring all the parties to negotiate a political settlement. well you haven't parked just speaks volumes. but does your question the best pick and will play the major role and swaying president trumps binion. to take first sides yes pointing fingers

at what they're supporting terrorism big time and then after this step and additional presented by the state department by the pentagon by the intelligence community by even the. question 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. the mystic and bill even related to president trump's immediate family played a major role on them fortunately intertwined with another 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 of the way the mediation of it's led by the quake and there that everybody the supports least lip service but at the end of the day you have ignited states lewsey 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 the rest and all the more than interested who 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 this be a sign that the us 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 guarantee 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 try 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 that 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 a 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 negotiate. 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 there's the who have interest in this blockade of this a crisis to continue we believe in the kuwaiti mediation to has work 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 a potential meeting between the leaders trump in september why it's after the united nations general assembly gathering is it still possible to see arab league gulf leaders set aside their differences and talk about a peaceful way out. well i thought that to come to fruition i think the

things have to happen at play between now and september september as now slated for awfully the fourth g.c.c. the us bill has become an annual gathering or an annual summit at the place of plenty for the atlanta sixteen and seventeen and no twenty eight in it would be the first since the crisis has rocked it first of all the i think there have as 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 with this winning except our adversities and the united states and probably iran and the those who 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 adhering to the not intervention safeguarding of sovereignty supporting the quickly biggish an offer to all and united states has made it through 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 internal morning that the and the scandals that president tom finds himself in with the with the russian probe and with today's are talking about you could walk up part of the himself with that could be an issue with the russian and their venture 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 use you see that there is either the camp of their sense of ok to sit down and i don't

think i'll 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 by questioning 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 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 and 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 hope 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. 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. abdulaziz 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 crisis 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

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 it's very tough of 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 back to the way they were before. first 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 causes and if your job this is the alliance we could see the different players region and international players playing a major role when the united states abdicate 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 fewer a few years from now major players are going to come to this going to see jen and we're going to see that here and landscape and the g.c.c. and the gulf are the law says you are going as a hostile public at this always good to talk here 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 al-jazeera dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page best facebook dot com for slash a.j. as i saw you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is a.j.

shifted and qatar has grown more self-reliant. but what caused the rift between g.c.c. countries is there and heard inside and can the gulf ever be the same again the siege of. just zero. i don't really feel liberated as a journalist love is going to the truth as it always does with his job. there is no legitimate grievance behind this letter threatening that's why it's in the international law qatar's foreign minister rejects saudi arabia's threats over a russian missile system as the nation marks one year of blockade.

on jane darkness as al jazeera live from doha also coming up iran turns up the pressure on the twenty fifty nuclear deal going to the u.n. with plans to accelerate the early stages of uranium enrichment plus. just fifteen minutes we've seen four bodies ball poll out there's not a lot of hope for survivors fears the death toll will rise from guatemala's biggest volcano eruption in decades also. he'll help asylum seekers you face the risk of being thrown in jail a controversial votes about to happen in the latest crackdown on refugees by hungary's government. on june the fifth twenty seventeen saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt imposed an unprecedented blockade on the states of cattle the

cues to its government of supporting terrorism a charge doha has strongly denied now one year later and a special day of programming will take a look at the continuing crisis the blockading countries of employed a variety of pressure tactics including saudi arabia's latest threats to take military action against cats or if it goes ahead with the purchase of russian military hardware we spoke to katz was foreign minister has some of what he had to say. first for just that let us make it very clear that the purchase of any military equipment is a sovereign decision which no country has. anything to do with so there is no legitimate grievance behind this letter and threatening violating the international law by writing all the international norms and. most importantly it's violating the . g.c.c. charter which is the countries of the g.c.c. should not launch and the attack against each other so we believe that this letter

has nor any legal basis to justify. any action we have been subject to a unilateral measure which was taken by by the saudis unfortunately as reckless behavior from what do you make of the saudi claim that it would disturb the balance of power it represents an escalation for qatar to obtain the s four hundred says well it's unfortunate that they see this as as destabilisation because other option is not representing any threat for the saudis but what most importantly we have to look at the behavior of the saudis since the past year when we see the actions how it's going in yemen or what they have done with the prime minister and recently. the president of france himself he said that he saved the country he said the region from a war by helping in reasoning the prime minister of lebanon so this is something

that they have been continuing as a pattern in their behavior according to the information you have do you believe this report in the press that saudi the saudi king really made this threat do you think it's credible world we are seeking for a form of confirmation from the french government and has you received any response one of they said to their response. should be to more. if it's confirmed what would your response be to the saudis we are going to respond legally by. the response of a country that this is not violating international law and as a threat for our country which is not acceptable by the international community do you need to take this cut the need to take any defensive military steps in light of this reported thrill we are going to take that all the necessary action to defend our country but much like the world what are you contemplating this is first of all

this is not there is nor any serious military threat out of this but it's the way it's been used to justify. or to create any disturbance in the region is just unacceptable so. is going to treat this. the same way they have we have treated their legal blockade we are going to seek or the international fora to make sure that this behavior is not repeated will come to go ahead and buy the s. four hundred missile system or are you a tall rethinking that in light of these reported threat. may made all the options open for its defense for its defense procurement so we are seeking the best quality of to defend our country and we have all the options open for this so it's possible that you may not need to buy the s for how this is that what you're saying this is subject to the evaluation of the military people it's

not a decision which will be taken in light of that letter of the letter that that threat has absolutely no bearing no political bearing on the decision on whether you. remain independent country and that's protecting this independence this is would not be subject for any compromise ation i should not have our it takes a look at what catalyzed done in the past year to combat the blockade. it has not been an easy year for qatar but for now protests from all over the world fill up store shelves cranes other most visible sign of the huge push to build mega projects in time for football's world cup in twenty twenty two but a year ago on the fifth of june during the fasting month of ramadan qatar is work up to a president at crisis saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind rein and egypt cut off diplomatic ties with qatar and imposed

a land sea and embargo the blockade in countries accuse the qatari government of sponsoring terrorism accusations doha strongly deny it attempts by the emir of kuwait and regional leaders to and the diplomatic feud have made no progress so far unfortunately we don't see any credible indicators to suggest that there will be a solution in the near future i think there have been serious at them so in the past serious efforts invested to broker this crisis and to reach an agreement but unfortunately the parties are still stuck in their positions and unable to move forward with a solution of the four arab countries were hoping to see the blockade isolate internationally but what followed was a qatari diplomatic offensive led by shared i mean been hammered thirty who met

world leader as his country signed major arms deals with friends it's ali the u.k. and an agreement with the u.s. to combat terrorism financing. in april the emir met president donald trump in washington d.c. the u.s. leader had qatar as a force of stability in the region and trump who also me. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed princella band around the same time expressed concerns about the fallout from the crisis it's a very unstable region and the gulf has always been the most stable part of an unstable region and this crisis has kind of thrown this region into a quagmire that it didn't have to be and i think the troublous treasure realizes that you know at least we have to provide one pall of stability and the center of gravity of the arab world in general has been the gulf in recent years so why the region there in crisis there is something that that had to be avoided at all cost.

trump has invited the g.c.c. leaders to meet in the u.s. in the hope of finding a political solution but that invitation has been delayed a the blockade in countries insist no talks will take place until qatar meets that demands alleges iraqi soldier and body count is the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute he says the blockade has made cattle more resilient but it's come with a huge economic cost. the population has rallied around the emir very much galvanized socially there's a strong social cohesion internally within qatar and it has pushed the qataris really to think harder about ways of building their own resilience and you can see this in terms of food security. issues the discussions around the environment citrus trees so this is been quite positive to the qataris internally having said

that it has come at a great cost i think economically because a lot of money to to shore up the system to allow them to build this this level of resilience and luckily qatar has had the. sovereign funds which came to use in this crisis internationally i think which is more important it has really projected carter as a country that respects international norms and a country that is forward looking progressive country that allowed for the freedom of expression to continue and during the crisis and has as a result gained the respect of many many capitals i think new original objective of the isolation in that sense has failed because it has remained limited to the four countries. stance of coverage of the one year anniversary of the blockade continues strachey's day has come all santa maria to tell you what's ahead. it's been quite

the year here in qatar ever since the fifth of june twenty seventh seen when all of a sudden the border was shot in the country put on the blockade so we've got a special broadcast for you on tuesday as we look back on this quite extraordinary year not just how it happened and why it happened but how cutter has reacted the new lines of trade the change travel routes even for it cowles being flown in to create a new dairy industry not to mention all the while us here at al-jazeera continuing to do our jobs while the blockading countries called for the network to be closed so join us later on tuesday will be nine pm here in doha will be live out in the bowels at the qatar a cultural village from home international airport in doha and from kuwait city has mediation efforts continue plus in studio guests and experts and will be live streaming on facebook twitter and periscope so you can watch wherever you are and send us your thoughts and questions gulf crisis one year on al-jazeera news special eighteen hundred hours g.m.t. on tuesday we'll see you in. other news now iran is increasing the pressure over
