what is the reaction in the halls of power in the arab world to all of this well you know the political situation in the arab world as in top of the sorry. chaos everywhere out of there is the arab league is not in a position to make any decision or what anything and let's not forget that actually be a major crisis political crisis that. saudi arabia has with the. assassination of jamal khashoggi that probably that tribe is capitalizing on this because the saudi regime of the moment is in the most vulnerable position probably since two thousand and one since september eleventh so sound at a better g.m. at this at this moment is not able to engage in this. struggle in the region because again it's its image of consideration as to how to end this

political crisis which by the way trump administration has used very well with that in terms of. trying to build relations and build deals and make autumn sales and supporting does the saudi regime so the saudi him is vulnerable but i don't think that this is going to reach to a point where saudi arabia is willing to finance a huge task like that he financing of the. reconstruction in in syria so far that even if they want they don't have the money to do with a nickel at this stage with russia playing such an outsized role in syria any reconstruction effort that goes ahead would have to be coordinated closely with the russian government would it not well not necessarily first of all any reconstruction effort must be carbonated where the government is now in damascus because they're the ones who control. the situation on the ground russia of the

russian military made certain assessments about the vital infrastructure that has to be revealed at the first stage and russian troops are doing lots of work for example demining the territory is liberated from the isis how it was in it was happening in dados or for example so the demining work is in progress some humanitarian it is provided but the rest will must because break it with the government russia doesn't have enough. personnel military personnel to be present everywhere so russia is more a is. playing in these a book an important role in the south for example on the border with damascus or one of the border with israel on the bow in the southern areas so there probably is some carbonation will be necessary but still the first. place. but then she'll donors have to go to ease damascus and to coordinate with the government so this is

the shit russia will definitely a welcome any kind of support because. here in moscow there is there are very intensive discussions about the future of syria about how to bring back stability and oh it is clear that without have been the infrastructure without revealed in the houses without creating jobs for the syrian it won't be possible to reach a sustainable peace in the country and this is the most urgent matter but at the current stage will we don't see a solution we don't see any potential donors and even russian companies cannot cannot operate in syria freely because of the sivia international sanctions which are still in place the sanctions against the regime so even russian companies can't go to syria to rebuild the oil wells the oil fields we can't help the syrians see in rebuilding their gene for straw. electricity so this is

a huge problem only several small steps are being taken so sometimes russian. engineers can help rebuild to restore electricity supplies sometimes we can help in rebuilding a hospital or a school but this is the only thing you know we can do at the current stage and clearly russia wants to engage other international donors for the reconstruction of syria because russia cannot do it on it so richard a one point this past year it was reported that president trump. had an idea that perhaps saudi arabia and other arab countries could send their troops into syria to help secure it obviously there's a lot more questions than answers right now when it comes to his tweets but do you think that he might still be of this same mindset or is he simply seeking saudi arabia to put money into the reconstruction effort in syria right i haven't seen anything about you know this idea of having

a pan arab force that would go into syria to balance turkey and particularly iran in the last few months i think that idea is not being actively pursued i think his mindset now is get the you out and us out of this math as quickly as possible so polite the troops don't get involved in the reconstruction and force other countries to take up the slack so i think that you know that's that the u.s. president has never seen a major priority for the ministration in the way for example ran in korea was and i suspect that it will fall even further in the next year ibrahim we only have two minutes left but i want to be the last word here saudi arabia of course has not yet reacted to these tweets by president trump do you expect that they will. well we have seen a pattern actually that they lit these statements gore you know not making it up

make any comments i think it's about time because once you make these statements different be something coming out so that it which hasn't happened so far and again let's remember that saudi is in a very vulnerable situation now because its major priority is how to end the political crisis of jamal khashoggi the killing of him. they're not in a position to. counter trumps statements make contradictory as they advance them because they need him they need he's the only one who's supporting the saudi regime the moment with regard to the. you know the issue where the. where the the pressure is in the congress is a huge so far it's not that interest for now is to clash openly or on the twitter account to send the different to it is you don't think it helps them at all to come out and say someone no it helps them to come out and say something but i

don't think it's likely that they're go into and if we have some think it's going to be probably like shy statements about indicting things because they found themselves in this situation of being vulnerable in relation with who's the only one who is supporting that him of the moment all right well we're going to leave it there we run out of time selling q thanks to all our guests ibrahim for had richard whit waits and nicholas circle and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story i mean how much i'm doing a whole team here by phone and. i .
