foreign minister of germany mr sigma gabriel thanks so much for talking to al-jazeera thanking thanks to you for the invitation so you're here with the doha forum which is all about trying to find common ground to face some common global problems but does it seem to like the world is heading sometimes in the wrong direction the opposite direction we just have to look at bragg's how the apec summit and the trade tensions between the us in europe tensions within nato the rise of populism and so on we should not forget the climate issue of course that of course the world was in a better shape some years ago but i mean i'm a committed social democrat we are optimists by nature so i still think it's fixable. i hope so and i mean at the end it depends on the willingness of political leaders and of course of the willingness of our citizens i think the citizens want to have a more stable situation around the globe but where is the optimism come from when
10:16 pm
you hear increasingly sort of unilateralism nationalistic rhetoric but if you go back some decades. if you would half have asked me maybe in the seventy's of the eighty's when i was a soldier in the army in germany if a german unification would be possible i would say no to ever so we. as germans we learned that everything is possible if you look to the european union it's an amazing story it shows to the rest of the world that is possible to be to overcome hatred bitter hatred and to become first partners and then friends in only one generation after two horrible world wars if people want to organize and to make peace then they are able to do this now the gulf region of course is no stranger to division either last year you were quoted as saying on june the sixth two thousand and seventeen that the boycott of qatar was particularly dangerous
10:17 pm
a year and a half on words how destabilizing has the blockade been. i mean first of all the the the good news was that it was not a military adventure and that would have been we were scared about the situation there and in some countries have plans to invade i don't know if they had plans but we had the feeling that it was people could be possible. what gave you that feeling though surely as we are released to you receive information and it must have been based on so we discussed it with our american friends and i think at that time the secretary of state of the united states rex tillerson did a lot to prevent further escalation of the conflict and our experience in europe is. sometimes it's like the first what we say we went into war into a sleeping we're going nobody was looking around everybody was heading in the same
10:18 pm
direction at the end of the day they were self in a war yes and you saw so there was what sort of indications suggest it to you that some of the blockading countries might be thinking about invading we i don't know if they had real plans but our experience is that step by step during an escalation of a conflict at the end it could end in a military conflict and the same except it's the same feeling had our u.s. colleagues in that days but nevertheless it's it's obvious that it was dangerous and we discussed with all our partners with qatar as well as the emirates some of the saudis how to deescalate and i think at that time the u.s. secretary of state did a great job for the escalation not to go further escalation steps as you are away the u.a.e. state minister for foreign affairs on what good gosh there is some of your statements in the doha for about how the region was not far from military
10:19 pm
intervention is simply not accurate not true he's met with you before and you should know better basically how do you read what should what should he say i mean he's a state minister of yemen and of course the bill would be the like oppressed speaker i'm an independent politician and i'm saying today what i said last year and the year before so this knows what he's saying is not accurate i don't know read only on twitter and i know under which conditions politicians sometimes act so he is responsible for his statements i know what and what situation we were in that days and i think everybody.
