out of southern mexico on wednesday probably exactly what the nic the delegation that was negotiating from the mexican side want their u.s. counterparts to see there was a caravan of about a 1000 people reporters who were on the scene say many of them from central america and that caravan was intercepted by mexican authorities and then many of those people were detained and that's the sort of image that is manual lopez obrador the mets can president trying to show the u.s. administration it's not the 1st mass arrest of a caravan that happened in april these caravans of course large groups of mainly heading from the door. and honduras countries racked by poverty and violence and trying to get north as a group so there's been a sort of change of attitude towards those caravans a seek to detain the people in them and to stop them there's also been an 80 percent increase in detail tenses of people in general from this april to the same

month of the year before so the mets. are acting here perhaps not as fast as their u.s. counterparts especially president trump would want them to and as massively as they would want them to but in general the administration of president will preserve the door stressing that their aim on this is another one they say that really to solve migration can't just be punitive measures have to tackle the long term impacts of this in the long term roots of this poverty and crime in southern mexico and in those countries in central america and they say that they want the u.s. to instead put resources and put effort into solving those problems at the root rather than just these measures along the way so far we haven't had heard of much response to that from the u.s. administration. the russian president says both moscow and china want the crisis in venezuela to be stabilized lead to me and putin made those comments well who. in

the chinese premier shooting ping who's on a state visit both countries are allied with the venezuelan president nicolas maduro mr putin also said ties with china are unprecedented level as both countries see closer relations due to tensions with the u.s. beijing is locked into a trade war with washington while moscow's ties with america have been damaged over the conflict in ukraine start from. the relationship between both russia and china has reached an unprecedented level that's the message both teaching ping and president vladimir putin have sent to the world today they have been signing a series of documents and agreements conjures up $22000000000.00 u.s. dollars and interestingly clinton sat at a lot of trade the be done in the national currencies russia of course is facing sanctions by the united states because of its crisis in ukraine and also china is facing trade towers so they both want to show to the united states other have other friends as well to turn to last year in 2018 both countries had the highest level

of trade after more than $100000000000.00 u.s. dollars and also on the international front russia and china have said that they want to stick to iran deal and also that the solution in north korea should be definitely a peaceful one but we have to bear in mind that the economy of russia of course is a lot smaller than that of china it's only 110th so whatever happens in the future and how i'm president of their relationship will be for the time being as the spokesman of fulton described it russia will still be looking to the west and the russian eagle will fly both ways as you describe it and the same will be done by china still to come here on al-jazeera. is almost becoming a no go country for americans as the u.s. government again gets tough with its communist neighbors.

the next few days as well as towards the so the portions of vietnam so what you meant heavy rain in your forecast as well as over here towards much of thailand of the next few days bangkok a high few of about $35.00 degrees and then very quickly across parts of india we're still dealing with a severe heat wave across much of the central area temperatures are hovering into the mid forty's there but it is cooling down across much of the south where temperatures into the low thirty's. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. and natural resource that's gone untapped for more than 2 decades. of course years before israel gets on al-jazeera world tells the untold story of gaza as an exploited gas fields gaza loggin is the only mini us of the palestinian so it's a lot of money and how this valuable resource could have transformed palestinian lives. the guard the gas deal an al-jazeera.

to her own country well that i see you all think. it's 75 years since the normandy landings a decisive turning point in the war with britain the u.s. and their allies launched the most ambitious seaboard invasion plan ever this poignant moment of remembrance trump stuck to the script with a prayer almighty god our sons pride of our nation this day have sent upon a mighty endeavor they have been some concerns about donald trump's presence here that he would in some way to track from the solemnity of the cage and draw attention away from the veterans of d.-day many of them in their ninety's who were young men when they went to war so it's about respect and we can keep politics out of the situation and it's more the legacy of the united states and their importance to the day that i think he it's important that he's here as well as all of

representatives all the other nations as well he's the president under their country he does what the people want and all these people around him moaning groaning. get a life. is 25 years since a very different us president visited portsmouth for the 50th anniversary of d.-day then bill clinton mingled with the crowds today there's a gulf between the u.s. president and the public extensive fortifications around the main enclosure watchtowers snipers $22000000.00 worth of security a letter from captain and w.g. skinner british prime minister theresa may will step down in the coming weeks in the past few days trumps held meetings with several possible successes intervening in british politics like few american leaders before him and. for trump the state visit is a p.r. coup back home with the u.s. audience obsessed with the royal family for many brits his visit was

a reason to protest i almost wonder if this is. sort of beyond repair personally have to have someone or as a staff in the white house who are listening because there's a 2nd term i can't imagine what will happen for instance just in the case of iran. a country that wants peace. is being forced in another direction. as the 2nd world war is remembered the shadow of another potential conflict looms in the middle east between america and iran against the advice of many of america's allies they've baka al-jazeera portsmouth. fighters linked to isolate being blamed for an attack on monday that killed 13 civilians in a village in the democratic republic of congo fighting between the allied democratic forces and the government in this resource rich eastern part of the country has intensified in recent days.

another attack in the village near the city of binny in the eastern democratic republic of congo villagers say victims were shot and stabbed government officials believe attacks by the allied democratic forces or a group relieved to be linked is responsible for several attacks in the area the violence has board more misery and despair ration to a community. by years of conflict. we are demonstrating because we are tired of idiot rebels killing our people we also don't like it when government troops display the bodies of rebels that they are killed on the street this will make the rebels come back and take their revenge on us. the fighting between the a.d.f. and congolese forces seems to be intensifying people in this area have witnessed decades of violence it's believed more than 100 different groups are vying for territory and control in east india and the level of mineral resources are also

a source of conflict they d. c. is home to the world's largest reserves of coal to use in mobile phones and electric cars as well as significant quantities of cobalt copper diamonds and gold . the world's largest un peacekeeping force is in the d.r. see some other people under constant attack say they feel authorities aren't doing enough. to support those who we call upon the international and national communities to understand that these killings are no longer taking place in the forests they're taking place in the town of benny. for now burying the dead is all the civilian population can do many know given the long and brutal history of this air. things could get even worse. we want security restored since the mobutu regime i have never seen security forces who are so weak we are facing terrorism the authorities need to act. the containing violence is happening

if is to contain the 2nd worst people epidemic on record the number of cases hit 2000 this week as a rate of infection accelerates adding another problem to an already deeply mix. the u.s. government is imposing new travel restrictions on cuba and u.k. tional cultural groups will no longer be allowed to travel to the island with a ban to on private aircraft and boats it's part of efforts by the u.s. to put pressure on its support for president nicolas maduro in venezuela latin america at a certain c. newman has more on this from the chilean capital santiago these latest sanctions are likely to have a very very strong impact indeed on cuba and particularly on ordinary cubans who make their living by renting rooms than providing other services to tourists especially u.s. tourists over the last few years tens of thousands of americans have been flocking to the communist island and ordinary cubans have been certainly helped with their

economy by doing that the cuban economy is right now going through a very very difficult time in fact the cuban government introduced rationing just a few weeks ago this is the 1st time that something like this has happened since the fall of the soviet union when it was when cuba declared that it was under a special period now again the economy is in crisis and without the the tourists from the united states ordinary cubans are going to suffer. and a galaxy has more now from miami where many of the u.s. crews used buns for cuba depart from. when president barack obama landed in cuba in march 2016 he became the 1st u.s. leader to do so since 928 it was the beginning of a new era of so-called normalization between the 2 nations under loosening of travel restrictions cruise companies airlines all lined up to meet the demand so called people to people exchanges were designed to exchange cultures and perhaps put money in small business owners pockets in cuba at the top administration has

now changed all that banning all vessels and even people to people exchanges these are very tight restrictions but not all analysts agree it's a good move this is a government that for good or ill has outlasted 6 decades of u.s. sanctions the u.s. doesn't have much more leverage to try to push the cuban government to make changes that it perhaps would want to see these sanctions just reinforce an old bilateral dynamic that's going to go nowhere fast the new restrictions of the travel industry and something of a state of chaos cruise ship so already diverting to other destinations but those that run educational programs many for americans whose roots are in cuba say this is a great loss i think ultimately there's a sense of disappointment whenever an announcement like this is me here but one has taken over 150 to the island to connect with their heritage and with their families ultimately i think that cuba one will continue to look forward in supporting the cuban people and making sure that people understand that travel to cuba is the

ultimate way to engage in move forward in spades the trumpet ministration says cuba represents a communist foothold in the region they also point out that the island supports of nations like venezuela and nicaragua is a problem ultimately this administration doesn't want to see u.s. dollars propping up a regime they want to see change the decades old embargo remains in place but these new restrictions will affect both they should. every year a report on freedom in the documents the state of journalism worldwide the report this year which is put out by the freedom house organization blames politicians for declining public confidence and in some countries it's putting journalists lives in danger alan fischer now from washington. you are the enemy of the people go ahead let's go trump is known for his attacks on the media but a new report on press freedom says the constant onslaught leads to a loss of confidence in mainstream outlets the report says it's a template being copied by so-called populist leaders elsewhere in the world it

it's inside story of a quick summary for you in about 25 minutes or see the 1st. the impulse in the gulf 2 years since carter was blockaded by 4 arab nations 2 years of regional isolation and still no end in sight so is this just the new normal in the gulf or is it a crisis which could actually be solved this is inside story. hello

everyone i'm come all santa maria welcome to inside story a lot can happen in 730 days except it seems in the gulf crisis in fact arguably the standoff between qatar and the group of 4 arab nations which blockaded it is still where it was some 2 years ago you'll remember those 4 nations saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt cut their diplomatic and economic ties with kata they close the only land border and imposed an air and sea blockade on june the 5th of 2017 kuwait stepped in to mediate but even as recently as last week saudi arabia's foreign minister was saying quote hopefully there will be a solution if it comes back to the right path suggesting there's been little or no compromise made in that time which are now out of scotian is coming up after this report from victoria gays in the. 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. we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran. the statement also mentioned the united go. to the gulf where we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state ever since saudi arabia the united arab emirates 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 adversaries said the

foreign minister is their absence was seen as a snub to kuwait city to heal the rift throughout the dispute catto has strongly denied claims made by the saudis and generalities the doha supports 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 is 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 despite demands by the saudis and them are artie's for their closure carter is a country that is immensely 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. a dictator as the g.c.c. crisis and does its 3rd year division and distrust between the councils 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 gayton be al jazeera. so 2 years

on let's introduce the panel to you here in the studio as he was actually 2 years ago when this crisis began abilities a whore who is an academic research or he contributed to the book policymaking in a transformative state the case of qatar so welcome also in london with got him other than algebra a political commentator there and running out of power from lancaster in the north of england is simon mobile a senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university gentlemen welcome to you all a quick question for each of you the same question and i'll just go around you to get a very quick thoughts to start with and i'll start with your abilities what has been achieved in 2 years what has this blockade achieved other than disunity in the gulf actually this is a very good question is because. if you remember last year i said we bleed they bleed we lose a dollar they lose a dollar and this is what what happened actually you know what the gulf region is

the most resourceful region it's a hub of energy it's a hub of a world with its it has been a practicing and helping a lot of countries in the region what we have lost is this unity what we have lost is the the cut of social relationship among families who are really into related what we have lost or as the people who cannot perform there and what we have lost is people who cannot to manage their assets and the blockading countries what we have lost as people who lost i mean getting their qualifications and certificate from the the last simister or one loss to either of their studies this is what we have lost so i don't think we have

achieved anything by the blue kade and as i said even last year it's a clear act of war against qatar. in london your thoughts on well as abilities put it losses and gains. well in fact just one point i would like to to mention about out there he said that was the hodge in many ways for the people and cut out to do that hodge but the other the broken from the from the in sorry we in this we don't we have for the protocol it with conditions we don't have to follow. up with what. we want to cut out how to do that i hear anything from this away from so do you out to be at all when the door for the height of the cutout by the government of qatar to stop that so hard that we have to be honest when we got all this a lot of thoughts you know that i do not think we have to mention the people i thought i had my own time and i'm going to jump in we have got what you have to get

on the show without a b. and he doesn't know mccain this is not right of people but if you haven't had just come into us we cannot hear what either of you are saying you know that my life is stopped you are so i don't know why you like to do just too much of this anyway ok madeline you've made the point about how and why from sold out of but that kind of government broke that way anyway this is not the end of the day there is a situation for this this is a crisis because it isn't the end of the day we are losing from each side we are losing it is not good for the future but there are 15 to minds the cut that i am sure should apply for this one for this but don't tell me what i mean open the door how the knocked to finish this a lot of getting their money's ok i'm sorry to hear it as a student you know everything as it is becoming back to up to the states that are is i mean i was there 3 it's a 15 do my style as it is chilled let's bring in simon my bo now your thoughts.

sure i think it's a really interesting question and i think as well you've seen from the different perceptions the way that people answer this question is contingent on their own backgrounds their own experiences their own unique takes on this this particular crisis i think what we have seen is the doubling down of the various positions involved we've seen 2 years of diplomatic rhetoric we've seen 2 years of of posturing and we've also seen the rise of qatari nationalism i was in doha a couple of months before the crisis and then again about a year afterwards and and what i saw was the real emergence of a strong got the nationalist sentiment that saw the depiction of the mirror everywhere across qatar and i think that's one of the real things that we're starting to see out of it whilst we see the entrenchment of positions we also see the emergence of a strong nationalist sentiment from one of the smaller gulf states so i think it's

quite interesting to see that and to see how that has then manifested in qatar's behavior trying to carve a new path for itself away from its larger more powerful neighbors but when the problem is that nothing's really changed i made this point in my introduction if you look at where we were 2 years ago you can say yes there has been talk that has been mediations but as a model being pointed out the demands are still in place the 13 demands and mediation doesn't seem to have produced anything mediation by the kuwaitis simon yeah i think that's entirely accurate there has been very little movement in terms of getting this situation resolved we saw in the past that there was a resolution to a previous crisis between these various actors but that was resolved through mediation this one hasn't been and i think that tells you a lot about the concerns that various sides have and that these concerns and these suspicions really mana fest and that behavior towards each other i think one thing

that we have started to see is that qataris try to assert. independently of the other members of the g.c.c. it's carving this new path for itself it's trying to become more self sustainable it's tried to get a new economic direction and it's starting to do that in a successful way according to the i.m.f. at least so i think that's one thing that we have seen but of course that does not get a resolution to this crisis and i think that whilst it was many would hope that it would be mediated and resolved by by one of their own let's say a member of the g.c.c. it may well take a more powerful external act to like the u.s. who possess a strong ties with with both the saudis and the turkey's as a way of actually trying to get this thing resolved in a muddle did in your opinion what's happened to the mediation process now for example we had the numerous summits in saudi arabia last week and the cut the trees were invited and the qatari prime minister to go i mean that seemed like a positive step but as we've discussed there with some of the actual mediation

process is well it's almost inactive it happens when it happens in your opinion what's going wrong with that. well to be honest with you we were really happy that you know the prime minister of qatar then to appraise us would be something open the door to finish this problem for 2 years but suddenly after the senate they changed their mind which is really to surprise you know we are 4 observers when when we saw that action. review surprised us because you know in the beginning it was good and he was there he has no objection why you when he left back he has his objection and then refused this is that he did surprise me something whatever beyond this action something rush hour or something from here on your region because this is our biggest problem because the qatari. stand by the. iranian regime and there are egypt sectarian. control of for out of the country is

a still a project sectarian project and then a lot of lines in the dividing our societies so this is why one cut that stunned by the iranian regime this is the problem furthermore even the president of the usa always repeated that the terrorism comes from iranian regime so why out of a country is part of the art of the quartet leave us 8 to go to stand by the iranian regime this is the confusing and the solution by the hand of the leadership of gotta to stop that things i mean stunned by the iranian regime the sectarian regime and be back to that of a quarter because they are part of us. of this actually to let me go back to the list of 13 demands actually one of these demands is to shut down where the horse of this gentleman over there as is the the war on the freedom of

speech and the demand is to sign a plane check to embarrass these. countries i mean and the 3rd demand is to fires and consent on your sovereignty so not new and different insolvent country will accept even to discuss the list of demands and these demands has expired 15 days after the demand so fine friend does not know that this list of demands has has been expired by those who issued these demands this is the new news for him the 2nd point regarding the iran if he thinks or he claims that qatar enjoys a strong relationship with iran let's talk about u.a.e. there are $10000.00 iranian companies in new way the trade between us and iran is $11000000000.00 u.s. dollars there are more than 700000 people iranian people living in a qatar the trade between qatar and iran is $2240000000.00 u.s.

dollars on lead there are like around 141-5000 iranian people in qatar and there are less than 40 companies iranian companies in qatar who enjoys that elation share with the with the with iran 95 percent of the trade in the gulf states with iran is with us he not not with with their with qatar what has. this please i mean if we are talking about their relationship with iran listed the facts not not that the claim of the good relationship with iraq iran is a neighbor we have a jew. joint. field with the with the it on what we are asking with the it on is to stablish a framework to deal with iran not to fight iran and to create instability and other instability in the region. yemen is there libya is there syria is there i mean

what do we need to add more wars in the in the region modeled in i'll give you a quick chance to reply before i go back to simon i don't get about him obviously. i did as he is obviously very clear connection we don't talk about the politics we don't talk about they can have a problem we talk about the political problem. sectarian militias destroy iraq destroy syria so we're talking up over a political problem not economical problem so not only on it contrary to see what other sort of things with a an economic direction but we're talking about the political subject iranian ha's sectarian political project on the out of the planned destroyed iraq story syria was 7 and going on and on and yemen didn't mission in lebanon so this is the problem if there's a political problem you don't question that going to come from the u.s. actually i mean we have we have this limited edition show with iran however we

disagree or fish really we disagree with iran and there and then intervention and syria we disagree with iran and so many issues but we don't have to fight with iran because we disagree with them we have to know how to manage this disagreement with other countries you don't bully countries because you are here you have differences with them you talk you dialogue when you have differences with the with people and politics and in other places as well ok i'm going to leave that there only because this will turn into a complete conversation about iran if we're not careful and we want to talk more about qatar in the gulf countries simon let me come back to you you made the point that one of the impacts i guess of the gulf crisis was that the cut. re nationalism and other things like the industries which have popped up here dairy agriculture local manufacturing all these sorts of things that have been positive i wonder if in some sense already there's actually no rush to end the blockade from the local

perspective it's been in a perverse way a positive. here i think that's an interesting point and there's certainly a positive to be derived from the qatari economy in the sense that it's force members of the qatari state to think about how they can address certain socio economic challenges in an innovative and creative way that that moves beyond a reliance on their neighbors for for access to a range of goods and services we know the qatar got a great deal of it of its food supplies via some of the larger hub ports such as those in the u.a.e. and what this crisis has done has prompted a serious strategic rethink in terms of how qatar positions itself within global supply chains and we've seen of course some innovative approaches to those challenges of course having a great deal of money has helped smooth over the process and get over the initial hardships but i think moving forward it may well be

a positive for the qatari economy and that suggests to me that might not be in quite as much of a rush as it once might have been with regard to getting it getting at result if of course there were economic hardships and people were struggling that it would be in a much more sort of much more pressured situation to get this result but it's not so there's very little little incentive for the heart to go back to the saudis and the m r r t's and to say ok well there are the 13 the months so we're happy to meet you on the mend and to discuss them until there is a certain amount of pressure being placed on the qataris then it's got very little inclination to go and give up 13 incredibly powerful things. but maybe i'll put this to you. simons made the point that there isn't an economic hardship here as such. but still a lot of money was spent in making sure that supply chains carried on when the crisis began and that's been going on for 2 years and and you can't just keep

spending all that money to fly in things because the land borders close. it can't go on forever actually that was the beginning now even even shipping cost has has decrees for example of china to door her used to take $26.00 days it would jebel ali now it takes 16 gears with 50 percent lists cost to import to from china the growth of qatar 2018 was $2.00 and expected to be 30 percent in 2019 more than higher than the growth in all of the g.c.c. countries the patient has increased by 18 percent the exports of the. products has increased by 55 percent number of companies are just in 2018 it was more than 20000 companies has been just and 2018 food

security now we have food security for 2 years enough for 3000000 people we have water storage is for for for so many. months actually so actually qatar has become more self. reliance if the the even even the reserve in the central bank now it's back to the what it was before the age of $58000000000.00 us dollars and a museum in the central bank rating of qatar has increased and the warrant issued by qatar was where a very very attractive. to the investors international investors ok gentlemen let's talk about solving this crisis the 4 of us aren't going to manage it but i'm sure we've got some ideas the model the let me start with you because you raised importantly early on the 13 demands which were laid down by the 4 blockading countries made the point that no country would want to just suddenly seed those 13

things so surely another way has to be found to get around that. we're always supposed to be through dialogue 15 the mines definitely some of them very essential very important like you know to stop terrorism. support some of some of groups such as some brotherhood and other things you know. not a front in syria and other this is must be stopped some other place maybe you know flexible too but through the dialogue and what might saudi arabia the u.a.e. give up what might they compromise on will obviously be talking about. really terrorism comes from the iranian and some we have to say it's some points acknowledged by the qatari regime that you know they support the muslim brotherhood and some other some missed tourist and then the area so this is very

important for the whole region not just for the qatari and the relationship with with the iranian doesn't really high question and the other thing about compromise not for a night on the other side of the dollar has not to answer the question but because but the command that qatar support terrorism the foot with the for the blockade in countries fail to approve and to submit to submit any evidence that this is what they did ok let's all as doing so it's here for me and i don't think just because it's all just running down the chain of nonsense a government groundless o'clock in models in your answer and then a final word from simon. it is as i said acknowledged by the qatari supporting the muslim brotherhood and this is a bus stop for out of the condit country is decided this total isn't must stop so the cut that it is shipped supposed to respect this for out of according to these and cut their support and their assistance to the muslim brotherhood or they are

the motherhood of the most of the terrorists islamists in the area. i'm going to interrupt because we're starting to run out of time and i want to get a quick final word from simon there's got to be compromise somewhere along the way doesn't there. sure there really does and in order to actually get something moving forward you have to have dialogue you have to build trust and building trust is incredibly difficult when there's been such animosity to build trust both sides are going to have to have some degree of compromise they going to have to find something to give up that the other side has been particularly worried about and in order to do that we're going to have to find someone to mediate it's going to have to be someone powerful it's got a vested interest in the domestic actions of both sides of all the different parties involved and of course there are some suggestions the united states would be an obvious one given that it has a strong relationship with the saudis got this continued military base in qatar and i think that figuring out a way that trust can be built with a mediator is the only way that this is going to happen because we've seen 2 years

with very little movement very little by lateral relationships bilateral dialogue we're still in the same place it needs something to change and that's probably going to be an external mediator to try and bring them all on the same side simon move on in lancaster a model in eligibility in london and outputs of these are who are with me here in doha thank you for joining us and hopefully maybe we won't be having this conversation one more year from now and thank you for watching as well plenty more few online a down to 0 dot com inside stories in the show news section if you want to see this or any of our other episodes again we're at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story we are on twitter at a.j. inside story and i'm at. the tweeting directly thanks for joining us for inside story and we will see you again soon.

moore daughter of those are your headlines up next it's al jazeera world more news in a little under 30 minutes i'll see that. in 1909. in the

eastern mediterranean of the coast of the mag pipeline is an ambitious plan to export an annual 20000000 miles east of the arena which as you know with all of that of the other day i think is a huge immediately and media phenomenon to qatar in the folk of the shire to me then there's a you called double mushroom i think you should find out what the whole region is that actually set the hagerty that's what the ability and we do take it back there's a. lot of that eastern mediterranean area the levantine basin the report tells us it has quite a lot of gas in there and not all that has been discovered yet. but when it's over why that should settle what you can be a food from. the shop or what also have a. look down the actors have that as a pilot know there was a very you know what i thought i had done a poor let me at the mystics. of the formal announcement of the gaza guys field in 1994 month palestinian

president yasser arafat this scribe the new discovery as a gift from god to the palestinian people. palestinians actually found gas off their coast. years decades before israel has found its audience so the person has discovered gas and rain in 1990 and at the time the palestinian leader yasser arafat's viewed that as i went to change that could absolutely change the economy within the palestinian territories and i doubt that palestinians to have energy independence and some form of sovereignty. so what twin thronged. i one point yes or arafat had this vision of making gaza into a singapore rate i mean you could see how if if the gas could be produced and it could be exported and i do think it could be exported because there are many ellen g. plants nearby for example in egypt where this gas could be liquefied and then exported

the way that israeli gas is going to be liquefied in exported the way that egyptian gas is already liquefied exported it would make a huge difference but it hasn't revenues from offshore oil and gas can be an important source of revenue for a future state of palestine they can help in its development by helping to fund infrastructure or to offset the government budget. guzzle of it is that only men in the us of the palestinian side saw what the energy this is. a deposit which was 4000000000. dollars so it's a lot of money not in one use but what's in them to 15 used the villa and life of the food the benefits could have been enormous look at the rest of the region look at qatar look at israel look at cyprus they've all discovered gas and they're all now sort of thinking they're going to be the next you know wealthy rich gas gas country meanwhile gazan people in gaza just sit with the gas out in the ocean it's

exactly as if you were somebody who didn't have any food to eat and you had a feast put in front of you and you were told you're not able to eat this feast it's it's it's it's pretty much a little. press and basically the palestinians in gaza right now are energy dependent meanwhile after coasts they have have gas that could make them energy rich and so if gaza was able to exploit its own gas which is just literally you know kilometers out from the coastline then maybe people in gaza wouldn't have to be intactness. i am terminal miss hell or arabic and i'm asking why this gas has not been exploited for 20 years and why such a major story has received relatively little media attention. while we were making

this film we obtained the comments exclusively that reveal the official and unofficial correspondence between the palestinian authority the be a and the other bodies involved in the negotiations over gaza's guess. the geological surveys suggested that this guy was good quality and the frio value and was within easy reach of gaza scores line. with. a woman. is of. less than he heard. when. in 1906 eastern mediterranean countries were struggling to get hold of

a toy. village palestinian engineer smile miss how was the 1st to suggest that gas under the sea but of gaza. l. mishan had years of oil and gas experience gained in libya qatar and iraq and conducted surveys into a potential gaza gas field. and miss hell was the b a's they ticked off natural and mineral resources and wrote to yasser arafat in december $1095.00 to propose a gas and mineral abridged of gaza out of 40 duly did the gator delmas how to make contact with international gas companies to establish the through nature of the gaza resources. in. the fall is the model and what

came of money. that are perched on. illness has activity attracted regional international and internal palestinian attention. that. it is not. been that. the. heck a. paper that the. to do evil of the gods feed the palestinian authority decided to do an exclusive deal with the british gas. it would have been normal business a practice to invite international tenders to encourage competition and to get the best deal for gaza and the palestinians. say. i asked rami abdo.
