carter's prime minister is at the summits the 1st high level meeting with leaders of saudi arabia and other nations since they began a blockade of the gulf states 2 years ago. sudan's military rulers say a protest camp outside the defense ministry in khartoum has become a threat to the country. and president donald trump alliances new tariffs on kids from mexico until its neighbor stops illegal immigration. raids have you with us saudi arabia's king has accused iran of developing nuclear and ballistic missiles which are a threat to regional and global security king solomon was speaking jaring an emergency meeting of gulf leaders the kingdom is hosting a series of high level meetings of the gulf cooperation council and the arab league
8:50 am
there it comes during a time of escalating tension between iran and the gulf states and its allies. well among those attending the meeting in mecca is qatar as prime minister is the 1st highlevel meeting between the qatari leaders with nations he imposed a blockade on the country nearly 2 years ago leaders also held a wider meeting of the arab league those talks also focus on rights of palestinians the situation in yemen and recent attacks on oil tankers off the u.a.e. both riyadh and washington accuse a run of the attacks earlier this month and the u.s. has deployed additional troops and warships to the gulf. looking someone has told the arab league it's time to take action against iran. not taking a decisive and repellent stance against iran would lead to continuing abuse in the region so to reveal will always stretch its hand to cooperate and help other
8:51 am
countries in the region to develop and reach peace in the area including the iranian people we have to exert effort to make the arab world a decisive and effective region internationally. well robert jordan is a former united states ambassador to saudi arabia he joins us now from dallas texas thank you so much for speaking to us here on al-jazeera and while the united states welcome this says statement has come out it's all of the g.c.c. in mecca. well i think the united states is going to welcome any effort to curtail what iran is up to but they've got to be very careful but in the process of this they don't also fracture the g.c.c. i think cutter especially is going to have some trouble in agreeing to take any kind of military action against iran i think that is a probably a bridge too far for them and we have seen the cuts of the prime minister with the
8:52 am
g.c.c. this summer saying this could suggest a professional of sorts do you think that would be welcomed by america to see cuts or being brought back into the fold as it were absolutely i think united states has a tremendous interest in seeing the saudis and iranians resolve their dispute with cutter it has fractured the g.c.c. it has achieved nothing in terms of changing katter's position so far and cutter in many ways as is moving along in great stride and has been pushed somewhat into the arms of turkey and iran as a consequence so they need to solidify the g.c.c. and to do that they've got to patch things up with carter. we. fear the thing we have been hearing calls for united fronts from the g.c.c. and from arab nations so ever. that united funds appears to be to be
8:53 am
cracking in a way we've heard from iraq they have opposed the final statement from the arab leaders american see me saying and which has been condemning iran's sense of fear it's you know what it's all that this united front says is still with. us. i think there is a tremendous problem in presenting a united front right now likewise i think kuwait and oman are very soft on what should be done about iran so the saudis and armor adi's and egyptians have a. real uphill battle i think in trying to solidify any kind of alliance partly because of the way they have treated their allies and partly because they seem to have no sense of compromise how much of this do you think is to the shift in inside the foreign policy that we've seen over the past few years certainly with
8:54 am
the blockades of cuts are but also with. the war in yemen for example the. do you think that saudi foreign policy has played several absolutely the. war in yemen is kind of the elephant in the room in a way here if if a resolution cannot be found then there is no way that i think the the rest of these gulf states are going to want to stick with the saudis in their moralities. iran likewise has considerable interest in allowing the who the age to lob missiles into riyadh and to have perhaps proxies develop land mines or sea mines and otherwise drone attacks and otherwise find ways to heckle the saudis in
8:55 am
a way that is absolutely infuriating to them and seems to have no resolution ok robert george said and i we will have to leave it there but thank you so much for bringing us your thoughts there robert jordan former u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia joining us that from dallas thank you. sedans strand's national military council says a protest camp in the capital khartoum is becoming a danger to the country but testers have been staging a sit in outside military headquarters for weeks now they want the ruling generals to hand over power to civilians but the military has told state television that legal action will be taken against what it calls unruly elements at the protest site so the council has also orders the office of the out to syria media network in khartoum to be shot down without giving any reason let's get more on this from old to young he's director of africa studies and assistant professor at drexel
8:56 am
university joining us now live from philadelphia via skype just give us a sense of what you think the direction of travel here is in sudan where now is starting to see the military taking a harsher line not just against the media and al-jazeera but also against the protesters what does this say about the direction of travel in sudan. i think it's a very worrying. and very worrying sign where you know. we're very close to the idea kind of a decision about whether or not the military will try to disperse. bio. and i think you've seen turn of signals that perhaps the military believes that they can take a very harsh and be series of steps against the alliance for freedom and change and i think in some ways they were afraid of the power that we saw recently with the general strike at do you think that these recent developments designating this
8:57 am
process terry as a danger. and starting to make moves against the media do you think this is a sign that the military is feeling threatens and it's changing direction they're not willing to do any more deals with these protesters it's time to take matters into their own hands. i think they are feeling a very bitter britain at the moment and i think both the protesters to be alone to freedom and change are betting on divisions within the military and the military is hoping for divisions within the alliance and freedom changes. i'm sorry comma the earlier today talking about leftist forces and the protest movement and so i think each side is trying to figure out how strong the other side will years and and how do you think the protesters will do you think the protesters will deal with this you think we're likely to see the protesters abandoning the camp. no i don't think the protesters will abandon the killer i think in the next few days we'll see
8:58 am
especially the bronze comes back from saudi arabia where there are no military and they are willing to take are willing to commit to violently dispersing but if they do that i think there's a real danger that will bend to a period of civil disobedience. to which you say this is a rather dangerous game of chicken almost because the military are not willing to back down the protesters are not willing to back down is it a case of who blinks 1st i think it's definitely a case of who blinks 1st and i think we're very we're in a very dangerous situation spiraling out of control for instance the military action we're not really sure if the whole military will support it and there's a real danger of the possibility of a counter group ok old and young joining us there live from philadelphia thank you so much for bringing us your thoughts there on those recent developments in sudan thank you perhaps so the news now and several people are reported to have been
8:59 am
killed in a series of explosions in iraq more than a dozen others are said to been injured in the blasts in the city of kirkuk the military says several improvised explosive devices went off there's been no immediate claim of responsibility. u.s. president donald trump has announced he'll tax all goods from mexico to push the government to take action on illegal immigration at the same time he posted this video on his twitter account said to show one fison migrants trying to cross the border trump says the 5 percent tariff will be enforced from june 10th and will be increased every month until something is done let's get more on this now from heidi joel castro joining us live now from washington heights just how significant are these tariffs. well hala mexico has already responded with an
9:00 am
official calling these from tariffs disastrous and promising that mexico will respond vigorously but this threat from the white house does have to be taken with a grain of salt if you'll recall earlier in the year trump had threatened to close the southern border entirely because of this illegal traffic of migrants trying to cross into this u.s. he never did that he actually walked back from that and if in fact these terrorists to take hold they would be unprecedented in reaching 25 percent by october and that is on every product that mexico exports to the united states we're talking about $300000000000.00 worth of goods annually the majority of that auto parts as well as electric machinery these are the very items that u.s. manufacturers depend on and that trump has said he supports in creating u.s. shop.
