long can you go on with this how long can he hold on you doesn't depend on that i mean a president doesn't hold or doesn't hold on because of for in countries like them or like them or not he's impoverished the country and he's subject to the massive repression whenever you want to put your views before you have elections to do it and we had it in may last year and the majority of the people rightly judge jury our president why you are pm contraries have to say that if they like a government or not of a country that it doesn't belong to their system or you can watch that entire interview starting wednesday at seven hundred thirty u.t.c. it will also be available on demand shortly afterwards on w dot com slash conflict zone don't miss it. well pope francis has made history as the first pontiff to visit the arabian peninsula francis was welcomed in by iraqi leaders today he met

with muslim elders at the city's grand mosque on tuesday the pontiff will lead a groundbreaking mass for the roughly one million catholics living in abu dhabi he hopes that his visit would boost tolerance of their faith in the wider region. joining me now here in the big table to talk about this papal visit is not here from arabic good to have you here on the show so this is the first papal visit to the arabian peninsula what does it mean for the islamic world to have the pope this it means a lot for of for the muslims because they are very i mean peninsula is seen as the heartland of islam although you know or the u.a.e. is a little bit better for the heart of islam is mecca and medina as we know but it's highly symbolic muslims appreciate such visits because all they have think that all is when it comes to. talking about muslims in the media has always been violence

and it's always about wars and human rights violations so this kind of the visit strang and strengthens that their impression that the the catholic worker the catholic know is trying to see it from another angle and we know that pope francis has concentrated in his a.b.c. since two thousand and thirteen on this dialogue with the muslim world so it's a highly symbolic visit and it's very important for the region and he was invited by the u.a.e. to come and to visit he has been invited for example by saudi arabia would it be a stronger signal would it send a stronger signal if he were to visit the country where mecca is located instead of so. you know a country that's on the periphery and as you say definitely this would have been a very very strong message if so to arabia invited the pope to come to over react

in that even to mecca or to medina but the problem is that saudi arabia doesn't allow any other religions to practice or another people to practice their religion on its territory rather than muslims so it would have been a very strong message. but. i think there's another maybe political side of the story the u.a.e. wants to show itself to the world as religiously tolerant and open and they want to propagate this is you know this. picture of a modern muslim country so it has two sides as i said and it's also building on what you're saying there the u.a.e. could come out of this visit actually looking more progressive to the international audience than saudi arabia is for example some how they are in religiously speaking but the problem is also that there is also the the yemen war and that's what the

pope today condoms and he said it's the war has to stop this is your human could catastrophe that be known for three years. i don't not expect that the iraqis hear what they what the pope has to say or even what they have what he has to say but it's a kind of a gesture he's also under pressure to mention this this war this him and these atrocities he's also been criticized by human rights of organizations because we know as we know. the united arab emirates have not really great record of human rights so he is under pressure to mention these issues as well. also from our arabic. we appreciate your insights thank you. well as we heard the pope will deliver a groundbreaking mass on his visit. catholics there hope that his visit can boost

tolerance of their faith in the wider region. many nationalities united in their faith at the st joseph cathedral in abu dhabi. the parish clerk from pakistan german priest martin stephen and the many catholic foreign workers living in the united arab emirates are awaiting the pope's visit with great anticipation. a momentous occasion and it's probably want in life to market and for many of us to see him and especially in the heart of the world. for martin stephen a pontiff visit is of major importance. just as it's the first time the head of the church or even a leader of the church has come to the arabian peninsula that's really historic and that's why there's so much discussion about the visit most of the talk centers around the meetings being held here between christians and muslims in the heart of

the islamic world. to follow for his torch of. the pope's visit also carries a political dimension the emirates a part of a saudi led military alliance deployed in yemen the pope has repeatedly called for peace in the water own country but despite the stormy issue religious dialogue will remain center stage. the u.a.e. is keen to show its exemplary when it comes to religious freedom. the united arab emirates is considered the most religiously tolerant country in the gulf region it wants to see as much foreign investment as possible and remain an attractive destination for foreign workers. the best example of religious tolerance in the u.a.e. is the buddhist temple in dubai according to buddhists here it's the only one in the entire middle east. buddhists are not always welcome in the islamic world this

scene is infidels and therefore often can't practice their religion in public. as far as the u.a.e. has been so it's a very what he told and in fact i keep saying all the time that tolerance is a wrong would be used because we all will come to that in this country which i dished. leadership looks off to us very well can do residents agree the government has approved the construction of an impressive temple and this is what it's expected to look like religion here regardless where it comes from does not have to be practiced in private in many different countries all over the world and i've never come across where you have almost two hundred different nationalities living harmoniously together we have to feed into practice a religion freely and. the pope is visiting the emirates for three days religious tolerance assigned the country's track record on political freedom is the darkest side of the story anyone who questions the u.e.s.

involvement in the yemen war winds up in prison. or here is some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a footballer from bahrain hakim. is facing two more months in prison after a court in thailand denied him bail a former national player is a resident of australia but is now fighting extradition to his native bahrain for allegedly vandalizing a police station. fears that he will be tortured or even killed if he is sent back a u.s. jury is set to begin deliberations in the trial of the alleged drug cartel boss you're walking. commonly known as el chapo prosecutors say the sixty one year old mexican is believed to have smuggled at least two hundred tons of cocaine into the u.s. . thinks his life in prison if he's convicted a new study warns that two thirds of the glaciers in the himalayas could melt by

why german chancellor angela merkel has been emphasizing during her visit to japan a major ally in her call for free trade but their relationship is about more than trade in some comfort. i am in japan for the fifth time now but we've met seventeen times already. and we've always worked well together even at international conferences. and we have a long friendship with twenty twenty one marking one hundred sixty years of diplomatic relations for us it's an incentive for us to work even more closely in an ever more disorderly world. for his part a warrant against rising protectionism saying germany and japan the world's number three and four economies respectively had an increasingly important role in protecting multilateralism both countries face similar challenges a rapidly aging population and the need for improved digitalisation germany is japan's biggest trade partner within the e.u.

some four hundred fifty german companies are active in japan and the german chancellor is traveling with a business delegation eager to forge even more deals. well now to the united states the pentagon says it's sending additional troops to the border with mexico opponents described the move as a political stunt designed to create the illusion of a crisis our correspondent alexander phenomena traveled to arizona and accompanied a border guard on patrol. patrolling the u.s. mexican border he and arizona it stretches for more than six hundred kilometers agent down in the hernandez takes us to a remote part of it protected by an anti vehicle barea he says what's happening at the border is a crisis like he's never seen before there are still a lot of people that are trying to cross the border illegally that do not want to be caught but now we have added element and dynamic of having family units from

central america there giving themselves up the border patrol which brings in a humanitarian crisis images recently captured by a mobile through billions you need show families crawling under a small fence into the u.s. even though the total number of preventions along the border has dropped over the last two decades the agents say their job is no more difficult than ever we are in the city of nogales agent hernandez shows us the existing border fence here only recently has concertina wire been installed on top of it. we know that there is certainly a possibility that people can still come over or drive because they'll come over and we recognize that but it's definitely a tool that works effectively and in this particular area has completely changed the landscape for more security less illegal crossings that sounds like an argument for presidents drums the border wall but was it worth shutting down the government over the border patrol agents told us they don't talk politics they're here to do

their job regardless of what's going on in washington however they seemed happy and relieved that a deal has been reached at least temporarily we opened the government's neither the shutdown nor tram's plans for a border wall have been popular in downtown nogales we need each album says to see dismay on democrats to regard the economy as on both sides of the border heavily depends on mutual in trade so maybe president needs to sometimes give in a little bit and say you know what ok let's find this find a common ground this find something that we can do together but stick to border security and economic development and by national relations with mexico. after thirty five days of shutdown the federal workers in our ways on now will be finally getting their paychecks but their role but the border wall is still far from over.
