but tamia between them i don't. see it was called an effect you know but out of it he didn't want to follow this issue they said. the of a pleasant little as on dollars go badly about equal. or good bit if you all don't imply one will die none of us are down here security by any sponsor secret love this that is it that the girl felt secret. even if you eat them and all that happened. 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 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. on 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 never the case that people

assume that people like sumach 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 a lie that they were sincere in this support for this idea of a new era of national freedom because how 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. don't have gotten a small loan of essentially doubly moans. i'll sit on the treasury the monkey that when he goes you make it about ashton poker there it will open to all of me don't call could be liz out on me don't put on leisure's sold on the local and the suez

and usa year the montane experience you want to tell me is eight and they should. look at me today. liza me it is a million. dollar dollar. lisa shows you'll get it on t.v. i sit on the mantel. see this one is a core of some cans on her machine if you say that don't make it a little present. on the. one. she did in the world in a little bottle format 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 practical politics. the psychs 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 control 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 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 ultimate 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 nearly at the time of the first while they assumed that these people couldn't possibly believe for

a moment that when the british and french talked to national freight and that it actually meant political independence that would have been a completely crazy idea to their minds because of their racial conviction. that the arab world was backward and to a lesser degree the jewish world to. the psychs pekoe 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 psych's 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 but of the published what might be its only great exclusive in november one nine hundred seventeen and other directions of both lenin and trotsky it even 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 cat's 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 of suez because of egypt because of iraq to india because of the oil fields and and that iran and mesopotamia because of the attritional 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 a lines on the maps his artistic skills would put to further use. it is the ultimate. mark sites

a man so many rowsley detested in the east should be responsible for the design of the flags the symbols of national sovereignty of so many other countries jordan iraq syria sudan kuwait yemen the emirates even the p.l.o. the palestine liberation organization. sykes deal with pico 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 ten downing street when clemenceau arrived in 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 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 land with up to four one at sea as you want to show any of her sight by the let her mama to her while it's a lot. about the battle for. there were many reasons for 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 vitamine 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. on the second of november balfour wrote 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 it did bad for decoration meant that one nation promised to the second nation the country of a third. what is extraordinary is that this letter was not that it by balfour or

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's on its in from the time of the first of all that it's actually a key that we recognize the significance of the bible and british culture so that they narratives of zionism is 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 well will but remain teachers were. there were also wider strategic reasons for supporting zionism. jewish influence was strong in the government of 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 very suspicious of the huge amount of german and german immigrants in the in the 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 or 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 that many of the bolsheviks had jewish backgrounds beyond trustees'

real name was bronstein after all and what the british thought once you scratch these people underneath the really jewish so therefore what we've got to do is we've got to give. then something that will a piece of them to make sure that they would stay in the war and fight to the 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 old british pragmatism. the idea of having a jewish colony somewhere to the north of the suez canal the british were in egypt with 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 him sat down and thought to themselves it's a 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 and cost them.

still to come the arab aid for independence from ultimate rule shareef sainz revolt general but often. what but a movement to show you firsthand fuck up and yet as i hear it come. the idea of the mandate the league of nations time for continued foreign rule who would then undo the facade of then in the long it's at luna all over the globe as we see it a little dead but something that these are the love of them in the open. and the long time impact on the arab world of british and french double dealing who can and will someone who can only mean it does for those who love them who are who might look at places.

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 four centuries of ultimate rule. and the hold up with that minute the key it became a at the age dumb hour and jim yet said we have i don't have either mush. home and i am no i'm in a surety and i mean going to ship at least on the walk i don't and you know what out of what the number one issue any of us a and and yet as i have the here it's our. in one thousand nine hundred fifteen the british high commissioner in cairo so henry mcmahon began negotiating an alliance with a same ben-ali the shot of mecca in the exchange of letters took place between mcmahon and hussein about the possibility of joining some sort of revolt against the ottomans the result of that was that the british promised should be for saying and

his sons gold and guns and an arab state or states to be founded after the war was over and in return for that they would declare war on the ottomans. same was also the choice of our of the secret resistance groups. that i threw in the water and that is that we have a political or a face on it as i behave there what did you have. and. well that lady who what he for life well the have to have them all to walk around and you have to do it with our one your own but they'll be out there on a bit. but it was far from simple. all of this maneuvering was going on at the same time as the british and french representatives mark sykes and francois pico were carving up the middle east between the.

. for his part hussein called for an arab uprising against the ultimate on the fifth of june one thousand nine hundred sixteen. the hashemite forces under the command of hussein son feisal mobilized. from their base it october they attacked the ottoman supply line to his us railway. they found the arab tribesmen of trans-jordan a tough nut to crack. the line here today at alcatraz ana is near the jordanian town of mon a tribal stronghold that the husham ites were never able to capture. before the war the his honour's railway had been

a way for arabs here to travel from alcatraz to new destinations one hundred years on the trains don't stop here anymore. were. when feisal hashemites moved north in one thousand nine hundred eighteen and formed a pincer movement with general allen based british divisions in palestine they were able to take damascus on the second of october. the big battles were occurring in europe this was the right flank of an army that was invading north from egypt up the coast of the mediterranean eventually to end up in aleppo. after taking great to see. area faisal felt he did cheat his objective and fully expected the british 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 a high price for supporting the british. of the one point two million men deployed in different roles in world war one battle fields five hundred thousand perished.

a few months after the war ended the egyptian politician and statesman sod's are google asked the british high commissioner if he could lead a delegation to the paris peace conference he wanted to negotiate egyptian independence that will and his supporters try to put pressure on the king to taint the relationship with the bridge the king has respect within hours the ordinary egyptians but at that stage that respect has disappeared why because of the. lost of egyptians in the war with the economy come if occasion on the people's life all of this actually created a wider gap between. the king and the egyptian people which faceted their efforts of sad salute to why do they got more and more with that with a king and with a bitch because they wanted to make sure that bitch 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 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. because the allies sit down in paris afterwards and it should be pretty easy to hammer out some sort of peace on press virtually impossible there's just too many contradictory agreements which is why they had to start again from scratch . and one of the agreements was with the hashemites 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 you

i mean you did that either or do it and got to be a. body at the end when. a noble because you sure know what that leave me. enough to have enough you have. got to be. well and know that you know why you nominate german. but we had to do it. into their head. and where you've been. here how you and i had a little below there out of you what. where are you going to be. up one. vitals disappointment in vast side didn't stop him from seizing his opportunity. in damascus in march one nine hundred twenty he declared the syrian arab kingdom as an

independent state with himself as king. and we're all far too many to look now and then like well not so long. when i was riding with. herman and myself from anonymously me looking. for and. how to ask every. english when i look at them i said all. vices declaration of an independent state was the deal he had with the british. but the french with sykes pekoe heavily in mind had very different ideas. on the twenty fourth of july one thousand nine hundred twenty a small force of arab volunteers gathered at may saloon to try to stop the french army reaching damascus . but the french troops routed the arab nationalists and swept on to the syrian

capital. feisal fled to london the first independent arab state the kingdom of syria lasted less than four months. the french occupation of syria turned into a mandate in one thousand nine hundred twenty two and lasted until nineteen thirty six with all the problems it entailed and which i still felt today. into double fantasy beijing. if. we go to the year. and the year. one. that sounds like a disk on their own or a lift in medina here letting it all. that messy hey you're being. who but they didn't finance a loan how to handle a truck. were not an asset a second a jew neuroeconomics needle myself in their own taqiyya. the french mandate

also had a big impact on lebanon. that season example if and when the. bill i was getting basically beverly is the one that the spot in the second ship is at that human into the be fronted with what we saw think it myself thinking be it again but the thought would be as this will be less it. was she who had this before trial growth. as a woman to be seventy well into her and i doubt it myself eighteen people for as young without if you will meth be. in there because it was it. the religious and ethnic divisions created by the french mandate in the nineteen twenties and thirties 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 dates 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 presence in the gulf as well and in south of iraq so basically they have a good knowledge about what's happening in iraq and they build strong relations with the tribes in iraq in the light of what's happening basically and the failure of the liver to the arabs and stablish with so-called as they and the hashemite

basically have good linkage with arab nationalism in iraq all of this together help to mobilize people and they have one thousand nine hundred of illusion. in maine one nine hundred twenty the iraqis a mix of kurds sunny our robes and shia began peaceful protests in baghdad. the british arrested the leaders. and spot file and confrontation. they then crushed the iraqi are prizing with overwhelming force. two thousand two hundred british an indian soldiers were killed. but around eight and a half thousand iraqis were killed or wounded. by know many arabs were starting to look back on alterman rule as preferable to

being under the british and french mandates. arab people believe that they could seek greater ties with the turkish people because most arab people saw the turks as fellow muslims who are fighting a similar issue european occupation. but the defeat it also means we're also facing a changed world. five countries occupied. it's of present day turkey. the treaty of seven near paris in august one thousand nine hundred twenty laid out the allies harsh post-war times. the turks turned 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 service are placed on the ultimate empire were extreme so it seemed to my letter to look and the turks nation would refuse them and. invading the european armies. of a come on man is to command the turks to victory. in what became the turkish war of independence. and yada must overcome were jews or a moment of the book. that he opposed the work about the stop are and you are the one that will know where you want to do when you're going to be on it at that alfie mystic larry to. which he is here. and if so i me with an hour for sherry. and a sultana. which i mean. then but.

i get the clearest turkey i'm a particular it's very. happy about that one which let me be your mirror and. with the bonds between arab and turks now broken most of a come on and the independent turkey state turned their backs not only on their own past but on the arab peoples as a whole. the arabs when. on their own. when it becomes clear that the occupation of these regions is going to take place that the british and french armies are not going to leave that the british and french empires states are going to impose a colonial regime armed opposition armed revolt becomes an obvious and almost foregone conclusion. follows and also what was one of the arab generation that

lived through the horrors of world war one. he started as an officer in the autumn an army but after the war he joined king faisel when he ruled syria and fozzy also fought at my saloon in one thousand nine hundred twenty. when the syrian revolution against the french erupted five years later he didn't hesitate to join the nationalist side. malik told the author why g.'s close friend. in this house in beirut where he and fuzzy used to meet. something comes out of sheen alice a lot of us a lot of us persuade the saudi. forward on allen. muhammad. ali cammo or without the mullahs a prince and more absent thing going to see that that are actually in the national

graphic he made the comments in a televised interview that was taped before the cia briefed the administration on its findings the intelligence agency has reportedly found that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon did order them the rosslyn jordan reports i did not know for the first time u.s. president donald trump says he knows exactly what's in the audiotape surrounding the death of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi it's a suffering tape it's a terrible tape i've been fully briefed on it there's no reason for me to hear it in fact i said to the people should i they said you really should and there's no reason i know exactly i know everything that went on the tape and when that happened and what happened to trump revealed this information during an interview he taped on friday the same day that several newspapers reported that according to the cia was killed on. orders of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin saddam on trump's position during the interview and the white house's position now it's still

too soon to say who ordered the murder and i don't know you know who can really know what if the crime trends speaking to you the president of the united states directly lied to you a lot that he told me that he had nothing to do with it he told me that i would say maybe five times in the last two years trump and his son in law jared cushion or had grown close to the crown prince they see him as key to their goal of isolating iran into promoting u.s. economic growth but on capitol hill the idea that mohamed bin solomon is a friend of the u.s. is dying i'm going to do whatever i can to place blame where i believe it lies i'm a put it at the feet of the crown prince who has been a destructive force in the middle east embargoed guider without telling anybody of this war and humans got completely out of control they put the prime minister of lebanon under house arrest is clearly this guy's a wrecking ball some in congress say trump's long running hatred of the

intelligence community is keeping him from doing the right thing the president needs to listen to what our intelligence committee has to say what our best professionals assessment is and it's vitally important that this ministration not allow itself to become part of any saudi coverup and while the u.s. has imposed sanctions on seventeen saudi officials others in congress are pushing for much tougher punishment we need to punish who ordered this who's in charge and really the only thing they understand over there is strength already there are two efforts underway in congress to block arms sales to the saudis not just to end the civil war in yemen but also to send a message to the white house it won't be allowed to ignore the indefensible rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. well al-jazeera is tony burke he is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul for us this hour tony what's the expectation in turkey about where this whole thing is headed next well i think here there's

a kind of resigned understanding that this is probably going nowhere there's been this straight a trickle of information about what happened about this particularly planned murder but still with no further on it here language from president trump talking about spectacular allies as far as saudi arabia is concerned you see that nobody wants this to end in a bad way everyone is looking for something different here for example and grow want better relations not only with the u.s. but also with riyadh they don't want to upset their the apple cart here the family want justice and it's not going that way at the moment because despite all the evidence coming out that this was a meticulously planned operation the cia said it was mohammed bin solomon who's responsible for this all the evidence pointed to someone at least very high off in the saudi royal court of being behind this because of fifteen man hit squad frenzy experts bags that are being bought to take the dismembered parts of mr macleish august body out of the consulate all of that despite all that we don't seem to be any further or no one seems wanting needing to actually carry this through to get

what everybody wants not justice tony thanks very much salim lone is a former senior u.n. official who served a spokesman for the un's iraq commission he says for u.s. politicians saudi arabia's behavior has now reached a tipping point those actions very aggressive and reckless action. have come to the fore and meet many many people who previously were committed to an alliance with the saudis for a number of reasons for many of them realize that serbia really it's not a partner that will help american security it's a part even the best in any war of value if you know this when it was set that our values are important but our interests think president it is now clear that our interests meaning american interests are actually threatened just look at what happened to the shock of what

a reckless killing took one of president over one floor friend inside turkey and then dismember its body and to believe that he could get away with it now it was thought the saudis must have thought we have done so much to get to the prime minister of never not what to do the country what it means in yemen and no one has spoken out against us in any serious weight we can do anything we want to see rebels in yemen are stopping drone and missile attacks against saudi arabia the u.a.e. and their allies the group says it's ready for a broader ceasefire if the coalition course wants peace most of the recent fighting in yemen civil war has taken place in the rebel controlled city of the data for most food and medicine passes through now on thursday evening saturday m.r. articulation briefly did pause airstrikes on the perceived city threat resumed them on sunday. well. everyone knows that when saudi arabia started its aggression against yemen we did not respond for forty days we wanted to show who was doing

what we wanted to make sure saudi arabia cannot find justification if we respond a big however four years after the saudi aggression and after we started using missile attacks and we started to target saudi forces near the border saudi arabia is now portraying its aggression on yemen as if it is just a response to our missile and border attacks and therefore today state ams to once again clarify our position we also announce that we are ready to stop all operations at all fronts to show the world who is doing what and to give peace a chance we want to prove to the world that we want peace the moment it has been monitoring the conflicts in yemen from neighboring nearby djibouti. the whole things have agreed to cease fire is a big deal and what this essentially means pert is in the conflict in yemen us law inching to it's holding peace talks the oath is say that they made these concession

in response to a request from the un special envoy to yemen martin griffiths who had requested them to stop hostilities that early on rejected calls coming from the sodium route to coalition force ceasefire saying that course and nothing short of a plot to have the coalition's allies in yemen who group of course this will come as a relief to the hundreds of thousands of people who are still trapped in the day than who've been bracing themselves for more conflict because the whole thing is hughley directed the calls for a cease fire the talks are of course to be held in sweden and sweden has already agreed to host it before the end of the year and the intended populace according to the u.n. special envoy is to have that the parties agree to having peace in yemen with some sort of a transitional government running the country saying casey is

a journalist and analyst he does not believe the saudis will accept who cease fire offer. and only then i think rosie has talked about in july out at the host the house of fire to stock all of that tax in the coast of yemen and i was well stocked at that on their own ships like so he was just in that seat but he said that the so he actually did not. accepted this it this is that piece and they couldn't do that on the day that i know and i believe that the so it was not actually the whole war when yemen because this kind of i will sit on them but they got from the south and east so i think that they might think that they have a chance to take are they what is it what are the so in that example to say that we must walk out of the race and on where they like to cut this up by take you as it

is by supplement that master and me yes but of this only to stop all war on yemen and i think they cannot actually hike if they continue at that can in yemen civil and well if you want is like that then i give it a chance to decide it would be. that they really want peace in the end i don't think that the sa and the will actually accept it because many times and hold the house of similar peace plan and still this i would eat it not to like get access to . the people living in tijuana on the mexican border with the us of protesting against asylum seekers from central america thousands of migrants have arrived we've seen from making long journeys with the hope of crossing over into the us the protesters accuse the new arrivals of bringing with them crime and gang violence why did you castro has the story. yes. this is not the
