that he really wants to to put in action what he has always proposed that means a very hardline a very tough line on the immigration issue the prime minister said that italy would remain a close ally of the united states he also called for the opening of relations with moscow and an end to sanctions and that could lead to more friction with the e.u. . while both main parties of the coalition have to tough in the lead up to the election they will now be confronted by the realities of governing change may not happen as fast as they would like and there is an obvious dilemma kind of coalition made up of such disparate forces hold up to deliver its promises sunny diagonal al-jazeera rome coming up on al-jazeera protests continue in jordan despite the king's efforts to end the on race plus what it would seem to grow up small footprint deny and yes what is needed here is peace. how

a look at the seach of qatar. singapore is being accused of expanding its coast and illegally dredged satins some of the islands off the coast of indonesia literally vanished it's a big business smuggling will take this very the stand is our affair you see this beautiful beach behind it is something that's not so plentiful the tragedy is that people are just not aware and ecological investigation into a global emergency sound was on al-jazeera. the still waters of doha's west bay lagoon. daily life seemingly undisturbed in qatar's capital. a serenity betraying that this is a nation under siege. on june fifth two thousand and seventeen saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt cut off all

diplomatic ties with qatar. accusing it of funding terrorism and fermenting regional instability all land air and ceilings to the country was severed. saudi arabia and bahrain egypt and u.a.e. say their severing diplomatic relations with qatar not a single shot was fired a full blown war of words was engaged. to store the other the most c.e.o. of magic ties or flight accusations and counter-accusations this claim this encounter claims were made by all sides the media served as the main battleground. early on monday the fifth of june two thousand and seventeen bufferin state

television read a statement from its government in them look at the. earth a little mercy and the ability to have all the knowledge up only. a short time later saudi arabia followed suit. up our lala cutted the message out well for the model let it. be as so they are we don't let the u.a.e. and egypt announce they tune we're cutting ties with qatar. the code. ordinated move by the four countries has caused the greatest rift in years between some of the most powerful arab states the larger country this particular saudi arabia followed by. the holy see dependent foreign policy as a threat to their narrative to their consensus there were. only one other thing which is totally unacceptable qatar was accused of harboring

a multitude of terrorist and sectarian groups creating instability in the region the restrictions did not only target the qatari government but also its citizens and residents. in the hours that followed a systematic and orchestrated plan of isolation was enacted. the national carriers declared they would be suspending flights to and from qatar the following day and those from qatar what banned from even transiting through their countries with the exception of egypt the blockading states recalled their own citizens and gave the countries residing and working in their countries fourteen days to leave their territories. the block of four also closed their airspace to qatari aircraft leaving only a small corridor or funneling all their planes in and out of the arabian gulf.

at one thirty pm the only land border was closed saudi arabia stopped all movement of vehicles from its side. trucks carrying food raw materials equipment and medicines could no longer cross into qatar. all vessels destined to or carrying the flag of qatar would not be allowed to call at ports in the u.a.e. . as the severing of ties continued doha released its own statement declaring there is no legitimate justification to cut ties and that the decision is a violation of its sovereignty. concern from allies with vested interests and investments in all the countries involved were quick to react hoping to keep the situation under control and avoid any escalation. the stakes were too high.

in sydney australia then u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson addressed the unfolding events and urged restraint and dialogue we certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together it addresses differences and we think it is important if the g.c.c. remains a unified. the tiny desert country was highly reliant on projects from its neighboring countries and with those imports now blocked qatar needed new supplies. the well maintained relations qatar has with its regional neighbors meant the trade embargoes effect would be softened seeing an opportunity iran declared that food shipments could be in doha in twelve hours turkey also offered to help however it could. qatar had been thrown a lifeline. doha staunchly disagreed with all the accusations made against it

and continue to call for dialogue if there is any sensible argument or sense of an accusation we are ready to answer but although it's a big accusation without any sort of argument we are not that it is ready to onset of this if there is any problem should be solved on the negotiation table butting in that you see countries together and his highness welcoming any positive help to solve this problem. but up to this point the g.c.c. the gulf cooperation council had been able to deescalate the situation she says he was never intended to deal with an act of aggression between one of the constituent you see members this is unprecedented in the extent of the scope of it how it took everybody by surprise kuwait did issue a statement calling for restraint but the six member group had not met and the three g.c.c. states that imposed the blockade were not willing to enter into talks our men and

also kuwait i think found it very difficult in the initial stages of the crisis. you know there may have been some pressure exerted on them to to take sides but i think then it was you know i think even the courts had to quickly realize that they needed some mediator within the region. so we've seen kuwait sort of take on more of that will than than are meant for this crisis but it's also important to to note that this pressure of taking sides extends beyond the gulf region. by nightfall on that first day that instigating nations crain saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt we're now joined by. the us and factions in libya in isolating the tiny gulf nation. on the second day of the crisis the effects were beginning to show. qatari citizens in the blockading countries were making arrangements to

vacate and return to their homeland. qatar's population is made up predominantly of the experts and foreign workers almost ninety percent and could not risk losing its workforce. airlines were struggling to handle the travel restrictions and some grocery stores in the capital were unable to restock their supplies. there was a sense in. many quarters that some sort of action may occur. in recent history there were many signs that qatar was being targeted. this current crisis is not an isolated incident from one thousand nine hundred five up to the present day the dominant team in relations between saudi arabia the u.a.e. and qatar has been one where saudi arabia and the u.a.e. have viewed as definitely the subordinate actor and the qataris have refused to accept this position in the two thousand when al jazeera was perceived by saudi

arabia to be a major thorn in that side diplomatic relations broke in two thousand and two and continued until two thousand and seven two thousand and eight and then of course you have the more recent crisis in two thousand and fourteen where the u.a.e. saudi arabia and bahrain briefly broke diplomatic relations again in protest of what they view to be this subordinate secondary actor in the region acting above its station and so you have a track record of the gulf members of the current embargo being coalition breaking with qatar over political issues over security issues over the last fifteen years but before the scars could heal the seeds of a new conflict were being sung. a mere thirteen days before the current crisis began qatar a state run news agency was hacked comments folks lee attributed to the qatari amir were broadcast criticizing u.s. president donald trump and expressing support for iran hamas and israel the

government denied that the comments were made and investigations by the f.b.i. and britain's national crime agency confirmed that senior government officials in the u.a.e. met to discuss an implementor plan to plant a fake news story in qatar as news agency and social media sites the hacking of the q. and a website in may of two thousand and seven is very interesting because on one hand . and you what assume that if the grievances of saudi arabia the u.a.e. and its partners were were foolproof legitimate and unquestioned then why do you need the pretext of you know planting a statement in in the amir is mad to to i guess you could say provide a reason for the subsequent embargo on the other hand when had i was able to show that this was a fake news so to speak it won a lot of support internationally among key allies. to make matters worse for the

u.a.e. a series of leaked emails from their ambassador to the us youssef a low table revealed a concerted effort to turn the us away from qatar. kuwait that had experienced aggression from its neighbor iraq almost two decades earlier took on the role of mediator urging both sides to open lines of dialogue the current emir of kuwait was the foreign minister of his country when the g.c.c. was founded he hosted the first meeting that led to the formation of the g.c.c. and so for him it's always speed since the crisis last year in any spoken about it extremely personal he has made this a matter of honor for the generation that founded the g.c.c. . emboldening their position saudi arabia and the u.a.e. convince the newly elected us president that their actions were justified.

president trump who only ten days earlier was in riyadh tweeted support for the blockade and joined in accusing qatar of funding radical ideology and extremism. this was in stark contrast to the approach taken by the pentagon on the situation saying the u.s. military is grateful for qatar support of the u.s. army presence in the country and it's enjoying committed. to regional security. in the months that followed the u.s. state department signed two memorandums of understanding with qatar underscoring the ties between the two countries especially the joint efforts to defeat terrorism . in paris saudi arabia's foreign minister. said that the damage caused by economic measures should convince qatar to change its policies we want to see. implement the prime.
