held accountable either by way of tweets or in the case of senator bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate and asked for a level briefing with maddest pompei oh and you know i asked paul to come in as soon as we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi this it says according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. the report says in reaching its conclusions the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence including a phone call that the crown prince's brother and ambassador to the u.s. had with the journalist before his murder khalid bin solomon was quick to deny the
3:02 pm
allegation saying on twitter i never talked to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason i asked the u.s. government to release any information regarding this claim within hours several other news organizations including the new york times and the wall street journal also quoting anonymous officials confirming the report of the cia's finding although it is very important it's very significant that what the washington post a new york times. c m b c n n other outlets over the last hours. reported that the cia internal assessment now is pointing straight years. in some as having ordered this operation this has never happened before in the cia will probably will not comment on this kind of report however the washington post
3:03 pm
wouldn't report this unless they were accurately reporting where they believe the cia said so which is a slight nuance now one can anticipate that the congressional oversight committees will have been briefed or demand to be briefed on this the reports alleging muhammad have been solomon's involvement unlikely to field even though the congressional demands that punitive measures be taken against the crown prince and his government. the question is whether the president has been briefed by the cia on its reported conclusions and if so whether he would be prepared to back away from his stated reluctance to take action against the saudi government and its leaders mike hanna al-jazeera washington the united nations special envoy for yemen says the warring parties will attend talks in sweden later this month hospitals and

feature of all. but this was a war fault on many fronts. so there's another story rarely told. of huge importance during the war. and of lost in the significance of. a story of troops to fault and die but who are often forgotten. and of an outcome that shaped the middle east of today. this is gold more one through our open i.
3:07 pm
money to rekey the chin is ian writer and broadcaster is taking us on a personal journey across a dozen countries. his grandfather's generation fault in the war. so far he's looked at the contributions made by arab north african troops conscripted by the british and french colonial powers in north africa. and how and why the ottoman empire joins germany in the war. pitting its arab troops against their muslim brothers fighting for the allies.
3:08 pm
and as alterman fortunes declined how the europeans russians and arrows look to fill the power vacuum. the. clock is for michael jordan mario on a day out of the money out of a good many of libya a little out of the top at this hour my guitar was. in this episode he sees how the shape of a new middle east was decided in secret by british and french diplomats if you look at a map at the beginning of the war you have an ottoman empire that ruled over us tiny sliver of europe all of the anatolian peninsula southwestern asia parts of north africa parts of the arabian peninsula at the end of the war that's got. how britain made separate promises to three different interest groups that were all incompatible with each other according to the hussein macmahon correspondence palestine belong to an arab state according to sex because. agreement palestine was
3:09 pm
going to be internationalized according to the balfour declaration was going to go to the jews so how do you square that circle. and how this colonial self-interest blew away the nationalist hopes of millions of arabs for post-war independence. this is why i told the center of power from way out of the british imperial establishment decided to destroy their own of the allies the other man empire and create a new order in the east's. the arabs are still living with the consequences to this very day. almost as soon as the ultimate
3:10 pm
empire joined the war in november one thousand nine hundred fourteen the european allies began staking their claims. in march nine hundred fifteen russia announced it wanted istanbul and the straits linking the black sea to the mediterranean. france accepted russia's claim and set out its own plans. they wanted the southeast turkish coast and greater syria. then in june one thousand nine hundred fifteen britain announced it wanted the whole western coast of the arabian gulf plus all of mesopotamia. britain also wanted to control a strip of land from there to haifa in which to build a railway it would give them an alternative route to india and one day might carry gulf oil. the british already had serious interest the ottoman empire they'd already up like egypt had already moved the gulf states they already had interests
3:11 pm
in southern mesopotamia they are. we had oral interests in the gulf so the war suddenly brought all of this then right to the forefront. so in order to achieve this between one hundred fifteen and nineteen seventeen britain entered into three separate agreements which all conflicted with one another. one with the same bin ali the sheriff of mecca to give him an arab state in return for leading a revolt against the ultimates. another with the zionist movement to create a jewish national home in palestine. and a secret pact with its own told ally france to divide the levant and mesopotamia between them don't sit. there don't want to follow this as you said. well as on down the school popular party.
3:12 pm
who could be the people don't imply one would want year security by any sponsor security level does that. even if you meet them and all that. while the british were still negotiating with sorry for cenovus potential revolt in one thousand nine hundred fifteen they and france appointed delegates to draw up this secret deal for dividing up ottoman territory. the french were represented by shell francois jacques pico the former consul general in beirut. and the british by the government's middle east advisor so mark sykes. sykes was from a wealthy english family whose country home was here that's led me a house in yorkshire he had a privileged upbringing and was taken on a trip to egypt when he was eleven. his knowledge of the middle east had been picked up writing religion and travel books.
3:13 pm
those sites like the prime minister to think he was an expert in fact he spoke neither turkish nor arabic. speaker was a french lawyer turned diplomat who'd spent several years in beirut and was a staunch supporter of french interests abroad. though they paid lip service to independence for the arab provinces of the ottoman empire the ambitions of their respective countries where their real priorities is over the case that people assume that people like us and lock sites and other british and the french policy makers were being disingenuous in their support for the idea of national freedom in the middle east that at base it was just frankly
3:14 pm
a lie that they were sincere in this of for this idea of a new era of national freight and those have could they be when they had their own very clear british french imperial objectives in the middle east. at this stage this was a paper exercise dependent on the course of the war. during the buttons moon of the century doubly moans. and also to the treasury the monkey that when it was sheer make it about i should do it particularly vocal contrary to all who continue to argue it unquote could be listen i'm a don't. tell and the suez as i say year the mountain experience you want me to put only me satan the shit. look at the today. knees up me it isn't a year no longer by the two dollars dollar. lease or shows you'll get it on t.v.
3:15 pm
but i sit on the amount of time see this one is a core. some cans on to the sheriff who say they don't make him a little present. on the helmet one of the rock. in the world into the metal and always. a world away from the arab provinces at the heart of british government in london so mark sykes prepared for his negotiations with pico he told british prime minister herbert asquith i should like to draw a line from the easy in exile to the last case in kirkuk. and face to face with source because that's precisely what he did. he called it
3:16 pm
practical politics. the sykes pekoe agreement was concluded in a tobar nine hundred sixteen russia supported it on condition that its own claims to autumn and territory were accepted by britain and france. sikes pico drew the map of the middle east in red and blue. the red zone mt the province of baghdad in which the british would have. the right to establish such direct or in directed ministration or controlled as they desire. the blue zone covered. and the syrian coast where france would have the same rights britain also claimed informal control over an area of northern a rabia from kirkuk to gaza. the french claimed the same informal control over a triangle from mosul to aleppo and damascus. this deal was what the
3:17 pm
palestinian writer george antonius later called a startling piece of double dealing. in june one nine hundred sixty shareef was saying started the arab revolt against the ottomans fulfilling his part of his deal with the british. only four months later sykes pekoe was signed contradicting the british pledge to the arab people. what we have to realize though is that what we see is just play city was actually explained by their ideas of the people of the region the time and it roots of this was their racial outlook at the british policy making elite at the time of the first war they assumed that these people couldn't possibly believe for a moment that when the british and french talked to national freedom that it actually meant political independence that would have been a completely crazy idea to their minds because of their racial conviction. that the
3:18 pm
arab world was backward and to a lesser degree the jewish world to. the psychs pico deal remained of british french and russian secret for a year. but after the russian revolution in november one thousand nine hundred seventeen the bolsheviks took russia out of the war the new leaders lenin and trotsky soon discovered that the saddest government had supported the psychs pekoe agreement. the communist daily newspaper prophet or broke the story of the three european allies deception to the world. following the revolutionary government's decision to extract russia from the war
3:19 pm
but of the published what might be its only great exclusive in november one thousand seventeen and over the actions of both lenin and trotsky it revealed that the details of the secret psychs because when and thus the soviets uncovered europe's imperial plans to divide the middle east between britain and france. the cats was out of the bag but difficult to believe it had little immediate impact on the course of the war or on the arab world. all that really mattered now was military conquest boots on the ground politicians could make whatever deals they liked but occupation was nine tenths of the law from the red sea to turkey. the entire region from. two to the tourist mountains was occupied they were occupied because they were crucially important to british were. more amps because
3:20 pm
of suez because of egypt because of iraq to india because of the oil fields and and that iran and mesopotamia because of that the truth will states around the gulf all these were crucial british war aims from the very beginning. but now what to do with all this okey pide land the answer new states whether or not they respected ethnic religious or tribal borders. not only did so mark sykes draw lines on the maps his artistic skills were put to further use. it is the ultimate. mark cites a man so diverse and he detested in the east should be responsible for the design of the flags the symbol of national sovereignty of so many arab countries jordan
3:21 pm
iraq syria sudan kuwait yemen the emirates even the p.l.o. the palestine liberation organization. sykes deal with pekoe was never formally enacted on the ground but it did bear a close resemblance to the way the british prime minister and french president carved things up at the end of the war. the partition was a fact of occupation and then the british and the french negotiated and clemenceau and lloyd george themselves negotiated probably in a taxi between victoria station and and ten downing street when clemenceau arriving in london and in december of one nine hundred eighteen so it was completely casual and resisted and opposed by virtually everyone in the region. so mark sykes died soon after the war aged thirteen. nine he cast
3:22 pm
a long shadow across the arab world especially palestine. on the sykes picos map it was colored brown an area under international administration yet to be decided. of britain's three wartime promises the one made by foreign minister author balfour proved the most enduring and controversial. kind of ma that cycle a one was. going to be a lot of latin with up to four when she asked what if any of her sight by the left her mom or her while it's a lot. about the ballot for. there were many reasons for
3:23 pm
baal for his promise after centuries of and he semitism in russia and europe jews had started to settle in palestine. the jewish nationalist movement zionism was gaining momentum its leader was a russian born chemistry professor in manchester vitamin. the vitamin process for producing acetone fed britain's wartime munitions production and his notoriety enabled him to lobby the british government to support a jewish national home in palestine. in june one nine hundred seventeen vitamin and the jewish banker and politician walter rothschild met arthur balfour in london to request a formal declaration of support for zionism five months later came his reply.
3:24 pm
on the second of november balfour votes to rothschild to say that the government viewed with favor the establishment in palestine of a national home for the jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this project. this is the famous balfour declaration the letter of the foreign secretary up of bad percent in november mighty seventeen to laud the rothschilds as at the first of what is the bad for decoration meant that the one nation promise to the second nation the country of a third. what is extraordinary is that this letter was not that the bible for all his stuff instead it was drafted for him by high in vitamin the future president of israel. i think if we're trying to understand the british imperial establishment relationship it sign it in from the time of the first book or that
3:25 pm
it's actually a key that we recognize the significance of the bible in british culture so that they narratives of zionism. if the ancient jewish nation and the landscape with the by returning to its former glory days was an idea that was not overly familiar to many people in britain by the time of the first whoa whoa but romantic as well. there were also wider strategic reasons for supporting zionism. jewish influence was strong in the government to britain's new war ally the united states under president woodrow wilson. two of woodrow wilson's top advisors felix frankfurter on the one hand and louis brandeis on the other hand were ardent zionists now the british were very suspicious of woodrow wilson although the united states had already entered the war and the british were also
3:26 pm
very suspicious of the huge amount of german and german immigrants in the end states and irish immigrants in the united states that were opposed to britain and the british empire so what they wanted to do was somehow get the united states to make sure the united states stayed on board in the first world world war and what that of course entailed was making sure that woodrow wilson's top advisers kept on pushing him giving him a goal a giving them a goal to fight for to the bitter end. and the other power the british wanted to keep happy was russian. the idea that the british thought most and many of the bolsheviks had jewish backgrounds be on trustees real name was prophesied after all and what the british thought once you scratch these people underneath it really jewish so therefore what we've got to do is we've got to give them something that will a piece of them to make sure that they would stay in the war and fight to the
3:27 pm
bitter end as well didn't quite work out that way. and just as mark sykes had called his approach to negotiating with the french as practical politics there was good good old. pragmatism. the idea of having a jewish colony somewhere to the north of the suez canal the british were in egypt at the suez canal and in the north you would have a jewish colony that would be very dependent on the british and of course the main british strategic goal was to protect the route to can india. lloyd george and the people around ten sat down and thought to themselves it's a going to cost us if it doesn't cost us anything it might have some benefit why don't we just do it little did they know how much it was going to cost them. still to come the arab aid for independence from ultimate rule shareef hussein's revolt general but often. what but

fifteen and sixteen the war in europe was bloody mary silis and i'm granting. the british and french were bald down in the trenches against a stubborn jam and. but it was a different kind of war in the middle east. britain strategy was to capitalize on growing out of nationalist feeling against for centuries of ultimate rule. carolina and the hold up with that minute the key it became at the age come a half hour and jim yet said we have i don't have a mash. home and i am now a miniature he and i have been going to ship a stone the whole walk i don't know and you have thought about what the number one issue any of us a and and yet a sadly he if that were. in one thousand nine hundred fifteen the british high commissioner in cairo so henry mcmahon began negotiating an alliance with

3:39 pm
to deliver on their promises. ottoman rule of the levant was at an end and in a month a war would be over. the armistice was signed on the eleventh of november nineteen eighteen. the arabs who fought for the victorious allies thought it was payback time they expected sovereignty and independence. that was how it was understood in the arab world the real problem for the region is that although the british government unleashed this idea to the genie after the bottle of the idea of national freedom the pritish understanding and certainly the french understanding of what national freedom would mean for the region is very very different from has conceived across the region itself. first to react was egypt. its people had paid
3:40 pm

3:41 pm
of sad salute to why do they got more and more with that with a king and with the brits because they wanted to make sure that british has no place in egypt after what happened in the first world war. the british arrested some glue and his companions in march one thousand nine hundred nineteen and exiled them to malta. egypt exploded into revolution. faced with my civil disobedience the british released saku and allowed him to travel to paris. but when he arrived he was devastated to learn that the british protectorate over egypt had already been recognised. a good deal i sit down in paris afterwards and it should be pretty easy to hammer out some sort of peace so impressed virtually impossible there's just too many contradictory agreements which is why they had a stark again from scratch. and one of the agreements was with the hashemites
3:42 pm
prince feisal also travel to the site in the hope of achieving his family's goal of a greater arab state. but a united arabia was the last thing the allies wanted. and the arabs would now learn a new term mandate. as the effect that i have just an idea. that tell you i mean did that either or and they do and i'm going to be. at the end when i'm here and know who will be how do you show what that leave me. enough to have been if you have. got to be. well and know that you know why you nominate german. but we had to do it. at that into their head. and where you've been. here. a little below there out of a what. where are you going to be. a one what. vices

to exit. the religious and ethnic divisions created by the french mandate in the one nine hundred twenty s. and thirty's have had a lasting effect on both syria and lebanon. leading to a string of internal and cross border conflicts in both countries. the problems experienced in the past three decades in iraq also date back to the british mandate. in march nine hundred seventeen british forces captured baghdad ending ottoman rule in mesopotamia three years later in april one thousand nine hundred twenty the league of nations assigned iraq to britain as a formal mandate they had interest of iraq because they have also stood in the
3:47 pm

3:49 pm
the treaty of seven near paris in august one thousand nine hundred twenty laid out the allies harsh post-war terms. the turks turn to the hero of. the army officer who led the ultimate defeat of the allies in the dardanelles in one thousand nine hundred fifteen. the conditions of the treaty of servitor placed on the ultimate empire were extreme so extreme of a command that the took on the turks nation would refuse them and any plan five invading european armies. boast of a come all managed to command the turks to victory. in what became the turkish war of independence. and now their yard i must overcome were jews or a moment after the op that he opposed the work around the stop are and you are the one here now we know where there. if you want to do when i'm going to be on it at

3:55 pm
a lot of things happening but we have a great military force on the southern border without letting people into our country illegally and we're not doing a release we'll go acad but we're not doing releases so if they think they're going to be released into our country like in the old days like for years and years they catch and release we're not releasing they don't get really. quite. as long as necessary. they built great fencing they built a very powerful fence a different kind of a fence it's very powerful the fence is fully manned. nobody gets through and when they're caught there's not really. and it's very interesting i said this morning they come up and they're talking about all their great fear all their problems with their country but they're all waving their country's flag what is that all about if they have such fear and such problems and they hate this country
3:56 pm
why do we see all the flags the way we're go out of my life honduras el salvador we're seeing flags all over the place why are they waving flags it says nothing to do with asylum. this has to do with getting into our country illegally and we have to know once they come into our country ok. you know i go right to this loyalty at all he is a hundred percent loyal it was a phony story i doubt they had any sources a typical new york times phony story mike pence is one hundred percent not even a doubt about it in my mind that it took her he's been with me from as soon as i won the primaries he was the one i just said i could not be happier and i don't quite see his loyalty at all he's already been tested in many ways mike pence is
3:57 pm
a terrific person that was a phony story written by the new york times who by the way never called me for a comment how do you do a story like that the it's fake news that's what breaks up a country fake news how do you do a story like that. you don't call the president i would i would give them a quote i would say it's not true and that's the end of this story but they don't do that they write and they then make up sources they may speak to one person but they make up phony sources. that make like you write a novel if you ever written a novel that's the way a lot of the news stories you read that's like all it takes is it's fake and it's a very bad thing brock a very dangerous mike pence is one hundred percent they should retract that story but you can't do that story without calling me for a quote or you could call sarah huckabee and say could i get a quote i hear say yes but i get a quote from the president i would be happy to give
3:58 pm
a quote i would be happy you know what the quote by friends is one hundred percent now you can tell your story so that's why they don't like calling me for growth. i would help you pull out if you need some bucks you may need some votes i will perform a wonderful service for our i like that you believe in i like this people love me do stuff and she's part but she deserves to be speaker and now they're playing games where they're just like they'll be playing with me when it's cold presidential arrest that the president of your country is doing a great job but he's being harassed it's presidential or as well in a way our own party is harassing her there's nobody else to be speaking out that doesn't mean for one hundred years but certainly they should start off with then she followed the speaker and i already have a lot of votes that she needs anybody yes i will give her the votes to put her over
3:59 pm
the. well i saw tom reed as an example is a fine man a congressman i would go i'm a moderate. i'm not saget i'm a super conservative side but maybe i even. getting from there but i don't imagine she'd get money but whatever number of votes you need to be eight or ten or your one she's got it from me automatic so tell our opposition that wasting. our we're talking about the border wall border wall we're talking about quite a big sum of money about five billion dollars and i think probably if i was ever going to do it shut down over border security when you look at the caravans when you look at the mess when you look at the people coming in this would be a very good time to do a shutdown i don't think it's going to be necessary because i think the democrats
4:00 pm
will come to their senses and if they don't come to this senses we will continue to win elections you know we won the senate you're right you do recognize. that means all the judges that i'm getting approved would now be easier because we actually picked up which is a story we picked up two seats in the senate we went from fifty one forty nine to fifty three forty seven that's a tremendous difference and these are senators i really like that's also a good thank you all very much. but. i have very close to a decision on you on that bassett or on the journey gen no we haven't but i will tell you until that decision is made we have a great gentleman it's not whatever and everybody knows he's doing a fantastic job. i consider pam bondi for anything but right now we have a very well.
