is one of the many reasons why protesters had grievances and took to the streets in the 1st place among the many human rights problems in sudan that has been one of them. it's just the recent days that we've seen some worrisome signs and the closure of. one of them in the last couple of days there's been violence and we've heard of a couple of people having been killed from that violence and so that does definitely signal the possibility that more could come and we've seen protesters recently issued a statement warning that that could happen. and urging the authorities protect the rights of protesters to continue so it really is a day by day situation we all should be watching it carefully and sending the message to the authorities to make sure that this violence stops. weather is next

colfax in the state of illinois. is the u.s. administration plans ahead in each trade with china american farmers say they're getting crushed between the world's 2 largest economy we grew a record soybean crop record corn crop and then you take the fact that our largest buyer just disappeared you know we created a huge ending stockpile that is it's going to take years to eat through it not to many. and we tripled what we normally carry china's retaliatory tariffs on corn soybeans in pork have hit their mark american farmers deep in trump country across the midwest are suffering this is private and one of the toughest years that i've experienced in my 40 plus years of farming are bankers i'm starting to get nervous next year is going to be. a tough time and some farmers are not going to get their operating loans they're not going to pay off their operating loans from this year

and they're not going to be able to get credit to put a crop out next year for the 2nd straight year president trump signed a bailout for american farmers this time $16000000000.00 worth but that won't bring back lost markets buyers who've moved on to other sellers their silos are full of surplus crops that oversupply his tank prices for corn and soybeans farm income levels are half what they were 5 years ago across the midwest corn and soybean farmers are filing for bankruptcy in numbers not seen for more than a decade and losing their patients i'd like to see that light at the end of the tunnel and know when things are going to turn around and get better so you your patience is wearing a little thing if you're still a little yeah this year farmers are dealing with high tariffs low prices and now historic grains that have left their fields flooded but while china is tariffs are striking their intended targets they have not achieved their goal of turning the farmers who are among president trump strongest supporters against the president is

it fair to say that farmers still by and large support president trump i think that's fair we believe that the president is doing the right thing to live on a farm as an old agrarian saying has it used to be schooled in patience for now those laboring behind america's plows seem willing to wait a little longer john hendren al-jazeera colfax illinois. now iranians have turned out and forth across the country to mock what's known as the. brisson day demonstrations have also been held across the region and a show of support for the palestinian cause the rallies come just weeks before the white house presents the economic policy of its long awaited peace plan. reports. the 8. into iran tens of thousands of people came out the occasion and could state also known as jerusalem day iran's annual display of solidarity with palestinians which it has marked since the start of its 1979 revolution the islamic

even before its unveiling it has been rejected by palestinian officials many in the mideast wonder if it will be dead on arrival. in iraq at a time when but the dad is trying to calm rising tension between the u.s. and iran people held rallies to mark jerusalem day iranian backed shia brigades carry pictures of iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali how many will move cause they've got the doggerel how about the tourism day in baghdad and the other iraqi provinces and across the world expresses the people's rejection of the deal of the century which is being planned by trump in order to dissolve the palestinian cause in his own special way but there is a wide rejection from the peoples that will make this conspiracy fail. jerusalem day falls on the last friday of the fasting month of ramadan but this year's demonstrations also took place less than a day after the conclusion of a gulf cooperation council summit in saudi arabia one in which saudi king said mom called on arab states to confront iran its timing is

towards where the gunman was at that point there was an exchange of gunfire one policeman was hit but was saved by his bulletproof vest but the gunman we're told is no dead. u.s. businesses are warning that billions of dollars of trade could be affected if president all follows through on his threat to put tariffs on all mexican goods mexico's foreign ministers heading to washington for talks on the taxes which trump says will stay in place until illegal immigration is stopped u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is on a european tour seeking support for washington's hardline policy on iran he began his trip in germany where the government still favors the 2015 nuclear agreement saudi arabia's king salmon has slander iran as a gathering of muslim heads of state in mecca he's accused of being behind what he calls terrorist operations that targeted the kingdom in recent weeks protesters for and against saddam's military leadership have demonstrated in the capital and

religious groups showed support for the military council which took power after president omar al bashir was ousted in april outside the defense ministry thousands demanding civilian rule defied warnings from the military to stop their sit in demonstration well those are the headlines next up its inside story. reigning in iran saudi arabia hosts 3 summits calling for action against hebron as riyadh accuses its rival of threatening regional order but beyond such high level meetings what can the arabia do does it have enough support this is inside story.

hello everyone i'm come on santa maria welcome to inside story an emergency requiring 3 consecutive summits in the one location it certainly sounds like something that needs to be addressed and quickly and according to saudi arabia the emergency is iran the kingdom gathered arab leaders for meetings of the gulf cooperation council the arab league and the organization of islamic countries and said the international community must quote use all means to stop iran from interfering in other countries a fair question is though is there an emergency or is this another power play in the gulf with the addition of a u.s. military presence we'll discuss that and more with our panel in a moment 1st this report from. a rare moment

between qatar and saudi arabia. qatar prime minister shareholder lebanon. greeted by saudi king solomon binoculars he's in mecca the kingdom is hosting emergency meetings of the gulf cooperation council the organization of the islamic conference and the arab league to counter what they say is iran's growing influence but the saudis who are eager to show they have wider backing face a daunting task and the blockade imposed sr 1017 the thai prime minister is seen here shaking hands with the king of bahrain another blockade in country and then the kuwaiti amir steps in trying to bring the saudi king and qatar the prime minister to engage in further talks that might ease tension and bring harmony to a d.c. in disarray king said man made it clear in his opening speech that he sees iran as

the biggest threat to stability in the region. the iranian regime interfered in our internal affairs and developed polycystic and nucular weapons it affects navigation in international oil this is a naked aggression against our stability and international security. but for the sardi's to build a coalition against iran they need to end the impasse created by the 2 says he acquired the diplomatic spat started with saudi arabia bahrain the u.a.e. and egypt sever ties with qatar imposed a land sea and blockade the blockade in water accuse qatar of supporting extremism accusations strongly dismissed but the target government kuwait is mediating in the conflict and the u.s. is concerned the feud might undermine its 1st isolate iran and defeat icily in the

middle east. is flawed from the state's flawed because in one sense. they don't want to talk to your own iran has asked for a dialogue and they don't want to sit on the table and talk to your own and sort out all the issues that we have of iran on the other hand they are instead of uniting and unifying the gulf region to stand as a bloc a solid block they are actually dividing it into different countries they are this integrating. regional organization that you see you see there a conflict within between the g.c.c. member states the blockade against qatar so you can't have one. standing against your own if you want to push back in one sense and this and this is this united and this is this fragment that at the end of the meetings the g.c.c. and the arab league expressed support for saudi arabia against what they describe

as iran's destabilizing activities in the region as a diplomatic boost for saudi arabia but also a period to more tension in the region. so let's meet the panel for today 2 of our guests here in doha with me in the studio as magid and saadi who is a professor of the. cutter university we have also got a professor of political science from kuwait university and in tehran house on the an assistant professor of political science at the university of tehran welcome to all of you 3 professors on the show so that's get into it majid let me start with you. i mentioned this in my in my set up a little bit earlier the emergency and i am using escorts there because this seems to be this promise of we need 3 summits right now to deal with this emergency is it an emergency or is this in fact a way of almost creating the feeling of an emergency yeah well let's just clarify one thing which is that 2 of the summits were mergers he said ok this climate

summit is enormous i would just always rail issue but certainly there is some insight held consecutively in the show of emergency if you will because it was very clear for the saudis that they needed to prop up the situation with between the united states and. vied with with the american agenda in the region of course what the saudis are they're banking on the i'm about is what that is that the white house would change its position so quickly because their white house went from calling for war with iran to basically now the exxon mobile staff going back to work on sunday in the uk so there is absolutely no sign of any tension tension between the 2 countries is this still not a bit of ambiguity there i mean the classic from the trumpet ministration of mixed messages bolton says one thing trump says the other thing and we never quite know what the official line is i think i mean if we look at the pattern of behavior when it comes to trump administrations very clear that this issue now it's been treated

exactly like the north korean deal so you can see very clearly started escalation threatening talking about even you know. i think what he said with trump said in the u.n. was. think of the living thing all of the total destruction of yet original of korea now the same thing has been said about iran but also as well what happened with north korea then he started praising the leader of north korea and then asking for the summit and then holding the summit and then not really caring what happens after the summit because it's all a political win for trump the same thing is what the white house now wants from iran. it's very clear that the iranians are more stubborn they're not going to get into bed easily with the americans just over a photo shoot and they're right now with the saudis and there are things that are left high and dry without any any real agenda in the region towards what's going to happen it's very clear that when it comes to the military the u.s. is not appropriate for war when it comes to how it's dealing with its citizens in

this company of the agents not revving up for war but the saudis and their morality is no are left with a summit that is basically only condemnation of the acts that took place during the last month but with no pussy ger to deal with it in the future even so let's talk about that condemnation and bring you in at this point tell me what your thoughts were on the language particularly of king solomon the way he said we will use all means to stop iran iran's criminal acts naked aggression against an instability it was all quite aggressive language really exactly i mean we have to look at this issue of the summit the 2 emergency summit that we had. last night up until dawn as a part of the ongoing cold war mentality and practice that has been the norm the new norm since 2016 at least one saudi arabia sever ties

with iran and other g.c.c. countries followed suit especially a bar a and also other g.c.c. event qatar and kuwait. withdrew their ambassadors and lower the diplomatic present taishan and to hang on so what's going on is that this is a rather solve all of pushing back by the saudis the leader of the g.c.c. to assert their message to the iranians especially after the loss of bombings of the 3 i think asking salmond stated very clearly the op inning and opening statement that iran is responsible for the shannon. again and for what's taking place to undermine security and stability in the region the heightened tension is because of the escalation of rhetoric between the united states and iran and now we have the escalation and from day one i said there is no war and this region but it's just part of the. administration flexing its muscles to gain

some. some credence and some votes among his staunch voters and his base tortorella his base as the americans keep saying so the condemnation was expected and that the saudis are trying with the i'm oddities and mayor de bar a nice to try to with. the free hawks we have ox and olives and the g.c.c. and the hawks are taking the stage and they're trying to send a message to the iranians to their to their constituencies and to the americans that we are standing tough against the iranians and that is what there was white condemnation although it was not the reflected in the speeches on the other summit the emergency summit or the arab league summit but it was clearly in the in the find of communique that there is a strong condemnation of iranian behavior is iran has brought this upon itself for supporting proxies for for a. sectarianism and for pushing the region into the abyss so it is a clearly

a message was clear of sent by the communique the final communique the arab summit final communique and before that the g.c.c. find the communique also so is this a bell of the saudis as you describe all that condemnation is this the saudis almost taking the baton from the united states as magid said. the united states slightly backing down a little bit is this the saudis taking the baton and saying right we will allow lead the charge against iran and us if you want to support us come along that case because the. perplexing issue is that the. well nor be beyond condemnation of iranian behavior which was and practice which was expected was the issue of what are the practical measures that will be taken by the g.c.c. leaders and by the arab leaders to. put in practice this condemnation translated

from condemnation to a practical approach to try to push iran to change its behavior and this is issue no regime change and then there is a contradiction by united states and this is what's really puzzling pompey about a year ago stipulated to 12 conditions on the iranians and that they should really add here too in order for the americans and the iranians to strike a deal. and talk he'll present trump a few days ago just obliterated all of that and it raised it and he just stated 11 point and that is iran should not become a nuclear pollan and the ayatollah khamenei stated that clearly that there is. any an approach and there are any. policy and effect is that it's against islam to have a nuclear arsenal so we are at with this stand still is ongoing but what are the conditions what the what is the really the united states strategy. is in that while

florence is stated by pump your it is the one point about the nuclear issue stated by trump so there is a lot of confusion and then you throw in bolton here you know and then you have more confusion regarding how to deal with iran from the american perspective and leaving their allies puzzled leery about really about what it is the any of the americans here let's say than what has the nominee has to say in teheran bring you into the conversation not maybe not so much the reaction that we've heard from the iranian officials but what you think about how they've interpreted this as a bellow was saying the 12 points versus the one point the slight backing down from the u.s. the aggression. from saudi arabia and of course i think the iranian reading of this all of this you know saber rattling on the part of the united states is that they don't have a core here and consistent policy bay only want you know to push to maximize the pressure on iran to see afterwards what will come up i mean there are of course

iran harks in washington who are advocating you know war a military attack on you iran but in general there is no consistency there is no coherence in there with regards to saudi arabia and the summit emergency summits there is nothing emergent about them. from what i hear into iran it's basically what the saudis want to call emergent actually it's you know it's part of that maximum pressure whenever that escalation decreases in the region there is deep the escalation in the region by the on the part of the in that this this on iran saudis try to you know feed the fire and put some for the future if you want it and i think this policy is part of it is you know bringing back the. maximum pressure on iran and part of it is to push back against iran's diplomatic

outreach in the region you know iran's contract with the with its neighbors of the gulf is that pakistan trying to you know deescalate the situation in the region has a lot to do well with what saudi arabia did last night a bottom line then that the saudis are looking at trump as an opportunity will. iran be worried or how worried will iran be or in the end does iran you know regardless of who signed a communique and who didn't do they know who their friends are they know who they can trust they'll carry on as they were of course i'm in saudi arabia basically divided the region into 2 camps doesn't you know basically go in there and sitting and listening to what king someone has to say doesn't mean that you agree with them that even though the most the closest alliance the saudi arabia had during the past you know decade or during the basically 4 decades. was the g.c.c.

and within the g.c.c. as a nation there are that hawkish attitude towards iran and there are the doves or doesn't who don't want an escalation with iran on top of them qatar under blockade kuwait and on mine who don't know who basically are trying to deescalate the situation practically they are going against saudi's official line of escalation on iran about to go in against saudis a poor children ism against iran with regards to the trump because they see trump as an opportunity and i think their policy will will continue with the way it is until they exhaust the trump variety bowl with regards to iran much of the way that has done is it talk to us there about the camps the way saudi arabia he says is divided then can you just elaborate on that a little for of viewers and remind us who's on whose side basically or maybe more the point to making in the end when push comes to shove if push comes to shove who

will back saudi arabia well at the moment a few states that are aligned with saudi arabia's foreign policy initiatives in the arab world who seem very clearly that they that they had a better moments. have to in libya maybe the new military council in so the probably the only countries where you would find. support for any saudi initiative and even in that case i'm skeptical about how much of support the saudis can get from this going to be it's seen very clearly in that look at all but like for example the saudis wanted to alie all the arab and muslim world against cut back but they ended up being a very small number of states most of them backed out of the blockade. and in the crisis but also it's very important here to note that the saudis were banking on their efforts being a side show of american aggression towards iran and they didn't bank on the idea

that the. americans would very very quickly like this and this is why i said before that they were left high and dry and this is not now these summits are in their view mirror. you've seen the declarations that came out of it their communicate at the end even though the countries who were attending the meeting at least your voice is concerned that it was not part of. writing the communique and designing what would be included in it but palestine asked for another sentence to be added it was never added and it was very clear that a lot of the statements by the leaders were not in line with what the saudis wanted to hear and were not in line with the actual official communique that summit which makes it very clear that this summit is basically a courtesy to saudi arabia a tendency to go to saudi arabia and that he'll support for any saudi initiative towards iraq just quickly before i go back to a dollar you mentioned the gulf crisis and qatar how important was it that the prime minister of qatar did go i don't think it's significant in the crisis itself

it's very clear that there was no initiative that resulted in the prime minister going i think that it was very clear they received the popular invitation of this down as opposed to what happened previous summits and also. is attempting with its partners in kuwait in amman and in other countries to rationalize politics in the region to rationalize political behavior in the region and also that has. always been has always it isn't about bilateral differences with came to issues in the arab and islamic. issues so i think it's very clear why the prime minister was there and the lack of any enthusiasm from the other side and from the gut that i thought was talking about the g.c.c. makes it very clear that there is no advancement in that crisis right adela let me come back to you i actually want to discuss a couple of other things that weren't discussed everything was iran iran iran the fact that yemen was not discussed at a meeting of arab league and g.c.c.

i think is quite something and it's you know i mean as i understand the leaders were even given a tour of almost like a little museum when they arrived they were shown drones and missiles from yemen that have been destroyed and almost like showing off and then didn't discuss what is the greatest humanitarian crisis in the region but the amount was discussed in a way through the whole seas or there was also white condemnation of the hutus who are everybody knows as a very effective automorph of iran and even the museum that the saudis showed the leaders of the g.c.c. and arab states were all made in iran i mean the problem once again we go back and state that plays on the iranian the any inside iran has to change its behavior what's the dividing the g.c.c. not only the saudi arabia u.a.e. slash policy but also the practice and the behavior and propping up iran's proxies in 4 out of countries iran brags all the time that they control for up

capitals and this is really undermining not only the g.c.c. solidarity and security and stability but the whole arab legion iran wants to be a player and the region iran believes that it is a title to this role because it has the power it has the influence it has the proxies and it has invested heavily on its proxies in lebanon and. iraq in syria and in yemen and that has of elian 1st traded with the sleeping cells and therapist says that were discovered. also helped by the by the iranian embassies especially in kuwait a few years ago we discovered the largest and the most dangerous that was the therapist says that was funded supported trained around india logged by the iranians saw iran's behavior has really cool be looked at again revisited and to hear because iran is real and that i have a crunch and now if the americans are pushing very hard for iran to have 0 or

export. stated that we have deprived iran or $50000000000.00 this is this is this is asked of us for a 40 year on an order to cripple iranian economy in order to forment internal stability even though president trump stating that the american policy is not on the objective is not to overthrow the enya regime but the hidden agenda here is that can i interrupt for my nigga troubles and this ability would push the iranian regime to collapse i'm sorry is it i'm going to be just as you are wondering how son back in we are starting to run down on time here anything you want to react to there with this as we say you know i started talking about yemen there but as it all seems to turn back to iran by the end of it and of course not the way of the scribes i think iran is relevant episode of it but it's not the entire picture i think saudi arabia i mean he's talking about yemen as if yemen

just erupted without any causes there are causes for that you know $6000000000.00 worth of missiles and bombs dropped on the yemenis and soon as you know a low take you know drone crosses the border you would hear the saudi out private these are you know iranian proxies where yes they are indigenous yemenis defending. themselves again a foreign invader of their country that's the way it is they are killing enemies and humanities are reacting and the more and the longer the situation you know lasts i think the yemeni reactions will increase that's that has been that trend with regards to other issues there are you know different views totally different from one of the last set i mean in the region you know who went to syria to topple the government there who destabilized iraq there are all of shorts of saudi
