4:09 pm
a warrant executed on the headquarters of the national public broadcaster in this way i can't state enough is an unwelcome development it is really serious and we take it very very seriously. as a campaigner from amnesty international australia he says wednesday's raid fits into a pattern of government attacks on the media. this is extremely alarming that the death of a young boy was a legend his record have been covered up by the strength of fans special the s.a.'s an amnesty obviously extremely concerned about calling out defense for to be transparent about pays attention to all crimes of the many many years that these if it now just on the freedom of the press in the reporting of a's incident is extremely alarming a free press is crucial to a healthy democracy and i mean he's always championed that and it really shocked the strength obviously a strange signature of the universal declaration on human rights frame in the press is something that is held out by many in our communities being extremely important
4:10 pm
we need to understand have the strength federal police have an active days right have they acted on direct coal of the government that certainly needs to be understood but it wouldn't be coming just days after an election here where government was in charge when they say you know alleged crimes were committed you know what role as you that is it is it really important question that the government and i start. at the 2nd anniversary of the start of the air sea and land blockade of qatar by its neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain egypt and others accuse qataris leaders of supporting terrorism it consistently deny that and say talks can settle the dispute peacefully try again the reports. a handshake between saudi king salmon bin abdulaziz and the qatari prime minister but if anyone saw this is a sign of warming relations between the 2 countries they'd be wrong that was a week ago and despite the most high profile meeting between the qataris and saudis in 2 year is the g.c.c. is still in crisis and very much divided and also we had reservations about many
4:11 pm
parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against it in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran. the statement also mentioned the united ago where is the united goal for we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state ever since saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind and egypt imposed a land air and sea blockade on cattle in june 2017 the gulf cooperation council has been at olds. the g.c.c. has held 2 summits in saudi arabia and one in kuwait which has led mediation efforts at the 1st summit since the blockade began a catalyst to mean been hammered out that he attended but his adversary said the foreign minister is their absence was seen as a snub to kuwait city tend to heal the rift throughout the dispute catto has strongly denied claims made by the saudis and generalities the doha supports
4:12 pm
terrorism or is too close to iran. be groups have been engaged in cattle's foreign ministry has arranged meetings with representatives from dozens of countries with the i'm a and foreign minister touring the world riyadh and abu dhabi will say being busy with media campaigns against cattle including one targeting the 2022 world cup yet both have been dealing with crises of their own the killing of saudi jenna's jamal khashoggi in istanbul and accusations that it was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salmond have damaged the kingdom's image. so has the war in yemen and the humanitarian disaster it's caused. the amorality s. and saudis have been accused of committing human rights violations there and cattle says that's the real reason it's being targeted by its neighbors but the blockade appears to have had little effect in the past 2 years trade between cattle and iran has increased and qatari media outlet al jazeera and others are operating freely
4:13 pm
despite demands by the saudis and them are ati's for their closure qatar is a country that has a mentally grown and has a lot of positive developments since the crisis because they have a lot more freedom to maneuver freedom to choose their suppliers choose their partners in the region without being hamstrung or tied down to saudi dictators as the g.c.c. crisis and does its 3rd year division and distrust between the council's members appear to be becoming the norm and if people in the gulf begin to accept that reality that could make changing it more difficult in the long run victoria gate and b. al-jazeera. the national human rights committee in qatar says it's received more than 4000 complaints from qatar he's a fact hit by the blockade there are 661 complaints about families being separated and lengthy procedures to obtain visitor permits $525.00 related to education with
4:14 pm
contrary students being asked or forced to discontinue their studies more than $1300.00 complained they had no freedom of movement around kabul and joins me now on set as he had a policy at an analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies thank you so much for joining me i think some heads would say maybe this was an unintended consequence of the block but does that really hold any water i mean when you think about the fact that there are so many. human rights issues in saudi and a lot of these countries that are part of the blockade why would they necessarily care that kateri are being affected this way even if they didn't target well i think i don't think it's an intended. consequence of this crisis well 1st of all i mean this is the worst crisis in the history of the g.c.c. since it was established in 1981 and this is the fear that people. involved in this crisis. but i think that was deliberately done because the could in conferees in my
4:15 pm
opinion are using the people of qatar to put pressure on their government in order to force a tool or block with the demands of the conferees if you remember the the look at the countries that present to qatar with 15 the months most of them actually infringing on qatar suffering. from the relations. alliance with the with foreign policy for example to the key. has in fact rejected these demands altogether so. the look at the countries in this when they get the people of qatar and the people of the g.c.c. involved directly in this crisis you are somehow using them in order to put pressure on the qatari government to comply with these demands and so there were just all of these overlapping almost back to back to back summits if you days ago
4:16 pm
when one when a lot of these parties were in the same room and it doesn't seem that anything came of anything if nothing came of it in the last few weeks what hope do you have that there will be some sort of progress or some sort of break in this very slim in fact we don't expect any major development any major breakthrough concerning this crisis in the coming weeks. even even when we are seeing this escalation with your arm between the united states and iran even when you see the americans trying actually to bring together the different g.c.c. countries because unity of the g.c.c. is very important for the strategy in order if the u.s. doesn't seem to be able to get this done that's really telling it's becoming very personal in the conflict actually it's becoming very personal some of the leaders of the blue conferees are taking it as a security person on. the have climbed a very high 3 and they don't know how to get down. they want.
4:17 pm
to give something. anything because as a said most of the infringing might 70 cannot accept that so this is why we believe the deadlock is going to continue for some time everybody going to see and a breakthrough in the coming weeks everybody is again. thank you very much actually . so head on al-jazeera and apparently get operated again in certainty facing syrians bombed out of their homes by government forces. and i know that there's lots of showers every part of southeastern asia at the moment plenty of them over the philippines through parts of borneo and across towards the marcher to the south there is more in the way of drawing

4:24 pm
presence says detracted from. the occasion the focus is of course on the hundreds of surviving veterans of the d.-day landings many of them were young men when they went off to war and are now and then for them could be the last opportunity to see a commemoration of this size and scale. thank you. the trump administration is imposing major new travel restrictions on americans visiting cuba the treasury department says it will no longer allow educational or cultural groups to travel to the island one of the most popular forms of tourism for americans and will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats as part of efforts by the united states to pressure havana over what it calls cuba's destabilizing role in the region including its support for president nicolas maduro and venezuela that of former u.s. president barack obama the white house saying sions travel and financial restrictions and establish formal diplomatic relations and white house
4:25 pm
correspondent kimberly how kate has more. these are major travel restrictions put in place by the trumpet ministration effectively blocking what was considered to be the most popular form of travel to cuba and that is travel that took place through a loophole in existing travel restrictions allowing for those to transit to cuba through organized tour groups as well as on cruise ships not only has this been blocked but the state department with its announcement has also ended travel by private citizens u.s. citizens who were perhaps going to cuba on a yacht or even a private aircraft now the reason for this punitive action we're told is that the united states continues to believe as it has said many times before that cuba is responsible for what it sees as destabilizing activity within the western hemisphere that is propping up governments that the united states does not support
4:26 pm
particularly in but as well as well as in nicaragua now this is a major departure from the actions of the obama white house that of course had eased travel restrictions to cuba not only are tighter restrictions in place but now as well the only form of travel that really seems to still be allowed under the trump administration is that of commercial airline flight to support what the united states is calling lawful forms of family travel and egypt an attacker is reported to have killed at least 8 security force members in northern sinai commanders say it happened at a checkpoint in the city of morning prayers no one has claimed responsibility previous attacks in sinai have been blamed on what the government described as a terrorist group. thousands of internally displaced people at account in northern syria have been threatened with eviction some of them are suspected of being the wives and children of meisel fighters the group is the 1st of

of their prime minister and they say it's corrupt bush the former billionaire boss of business empire denies the illegally receiving european union. the un has come under pressure to speak out against china on a number of human rights issues tuesday's anniversary of the tenement square massacre came under increased scrutiny at the magic editor james space as war from the united nations in new york. in recent months u.n. secretary general antonio good terrace has faced criticism for not speaking out strongly enough on human rights in particular he failed to mention publicly the plight of the weakest on his most recent trip to beijing so how would the un respond on the anniversary of a human rights atrocity the massacre in tiananmen square does the secretary general have any comments on this very important anniversary show i mean i would remind you of our constant call on security forces in governments not to use excessive force
4:31 pm
when facing civilian demonstrators a very general answer would no specific mention of china its so i tried again does the secretary general condemn the tiananmen massacre does he condemn the fact that no one was held to account does he condemn the human rights abuses against the weakest dizzee condemn human rights abuses about tibetans yes or no i think the secretary general has addressed and we've addressed those issues. in various briefings we've answered those questions is there not some historic resonance here you are not directly condemning the tiananmen massacre and yet at the same time secretary-general is calling for an independent investigation into a massacre that's happened in the last few days in saddam's double standards no not double standards i think the secretary were commenting on things that are happening . today right now under is. under his watch and again on on the broader issue of human rights in china i would refer you to things
4:32 pm
i've said previously the other most senior official of the un along with the secretary general is the president of the general assembly a post currently held by maria fernanda espinosa if you thought the answers from the secretary general's office lacks substance just listen to what i was told by her spokespersons directly does she condemn what happened 30 years ago in tiananmen square. we don't have anything further from what has been said already to she condemn the fact that there's been no accountability for the massacre i think i have answered your question does the un have a choice of problem i think i have answered your question then i don't have anything else to say on this so why is the un not speaking out in pause it's because the secretary general in the next few days will be traveling to petersburg where his g. to meet china's president xi he's also haul for you through his 1st term as secretary general to get a 2nd term he'll need the support of the security council in particular the 5
