us welcome to the program germany is imposing a travel ban on countries most affected by new coronavirus variants the measure came into effect just hours ago and will remain until at least several 17th berlin says the restrictions are necessary to prevent a surge a new infections. the fear of new coronavirus mutations is real in germany it's also one of the main concerns for german authorities to prevent them from spreading fast in the country the government has now announced a new travel restrictions the interior ministry has imposed an entry ban until the 17th of february for travelers from countries that are particularly affected by them brazil ireland portugal south africa the u.k.

and a swat team. notations have not hit germany as hard as other countries but already a hospital in berlin was forced to halt admissions after several cases were fond of the mutation 1st discovered in britain and health officials are stressing that the situation could deteriorate the move would have and always will have to assume that of the more contagious variants continue to separate in this country they will lead to even more cases in the near future and the situation will probably get worse we must work together to prevent that doesn't downturn is missing. the travel ban the seen as a step in that direction but it is still unclear how effective it could be. well i'm joined now by deed abuse political correspondent hans plant now the incidence of corona virus in germany at sale this week below $100.00 per 100000 residents in a 7 day period and that's the 1st time it's happened in months so why is this ban

being imposed now. well simply the answer is fear fear of the new mutations of the new variants of the virus which are that much more infectious so germany does not want to endanger what it has to achieved in terms of reducing the infection rate in the last couple of months achieved with a partial almost complete lock on which has had a lot of criticism within the german society but the german government says it's much too early to root. to. loosen these 3 strictures. they need to be in place and in fact they need to be further restrictions such of this travel. now we live in a continent where there's a lot of movement of people people travel on a regular basis between germany and say had some of these countries that are on the list are there for business reasons or to visit family and are there any exceptions

to the rule are there any ways of people being able to avoid this ban. there are very very few exceptions the only exceptions really awful people such as diplomats and to keep supply chains going in other words truck drivers or pilots of airplanes are allowed to move between these 2 crime these countries but beyond that really the only exceptions for serious cases such as a death in the family or something like that have regular travel for business purposes lawful tourism purposes that is totally prohibited we have to see that this is an additional no restriction on top of restrictions that have been in place for months already it's already been very difficult to do international travel has already been very difficult and these are just no restrictions for that handful of countries now briefly last year when all these bans came in india in the

original break of add the coronavirus there was a plan within the e.u. to avoid bans and to act unilaterally now why is it that germany has decided to go out on a on its own in this sense while in fact there was a meeting of the interior ministers of the european union this week and to trying to achieve some sort of restrictive for common position but that was not achievable the german interior minister in fact had gone as far as wanting to close down all airports so what's happened now is that various countries in europe have taken their own restrictions germany is not the only one france is restricting travel outside the e.u. belgium has restricted all tourism travel so there have been several countries that have gone their own way on those views political correspondent hans ponte thank you . well here's a look now at some other developments in the pandemic taiwan has reported its 1st

death from covert 9000 since may the case is linked to a small and unusual local outbreak in a hospital mexico's president said in a video message that he's recovering from covert 19. has been isolating since he tested positive for the virus last weekend and up to 30000 people per day will be allowed to attend the australian open tennis tournament as the state of victoria records its 24th day without locally transmitted coronavirus cases. now one of the countries affected by germany's travel ban is portugal it has the world's worst rate for both deaths and new infections in recent days and new variants of the virus are spreading rapidly with its health care system operating at its limits portugal is now looking to other countries for assistance. at this hospital only patients with severe symptoms are allowed inside

a measurement to provide relief to doctors and nurses were on the verge of being overwhelmed and working under brutal conditions. it's just not getting better every day there are more infections more ambulances it's all getting worse and worse. we should ask for help. and doctors and nurses working abroad should come back here. portuguese authorities are considering requesting help from abroad the government is in talks with germany about sending army medics to help in overburdened hospitals here. we have an enormous need for nurses and doctors but we just don't have the people that's are vegas challenge and where we have the biggest bottleneck. good terms with. portugal risks losing control and so it's placing new restrictions on public life

on top of a tough lock down a travel ban is being introduced this weekend portuguese nationals are only allowed to leave the country in exceptional cases. this. we are now experiencing the most difficult phase in the pandemic since it began 11 months ago . we have the highest infection numbers in all of europe. this new explosion in cases is likely linked to family gatherings and people returning from abroad many of them from britain causing the number of infections to rise so. much the loosening of coronavirus restrictions over christmas gave the impression that the crisis was over but the pandemic has returned with full force long lines for men testing centers in the lisbon area where half of all infections are due to the british virus variant. i think we didn't take the measures seriously enough during christmas. and today we are paying for it. but not i'm

worried more and more people are getting infected and dying. because of his muslim . portugal's health care system is reaching its limits the country got through the 1st wave of the pandemic relatively well now it seems only help from abroad can help the country cope. to other news now from around the world portugal's parliament has voted to legalize euthanasia the bill passed by a large majority allows assisted suicide for terminally ill patients the bill still requires the approval of the conservative president if you signed it into law portugal would become the 4th e.u. country to permit the practice. the world health organization team investigating the arjun's of the corona virus has visited the hospital in one hand where the 1st covert 1000 patients were treated as the pandemic began the mission has become politically charged as china seeks to avoid blame for alleged missteps in handling

the early days of the outbreak. the brother and several allies of kremlin critic alexina valmy have been put under house arrest for allegedly violating coronavirus restrictions by calling for people to join protests the court's decision comes ahead of new rallies planned for something authorities have warned protesters they could face charges of mass arrests. italy's president said joe my thought i learned as a task to a parliamentary leader to carry out further talks to try to form a new government roberto sequel the leader of the parliament's lower house has until cheese day to determine whether the parties to form the previous ruling coalition are willing to come together again in a new government the political crisis was triggered this month when a small coalition partner withdrew its support of the government of prime minister 2 separate contests. well earlier journalist sima told us just how much

hinges on the success of coalition talks at the moment a lot of issues still to be resolved who could be a possible prime minister perhaps giuseppe conti a good perhaps to go himself perhaps and not the figure of a technocrat but yes if they do not come up with a solution the president will then possibly go back to a consultations once again to try and find some kind of new coalition and if that doesn't work all together the last possible option which is really the option of last resort and that is to dissolve parliament and go towards elections and of course most don't want that to happen because of course it's he is very much dealing with a pandemic right now just as other countries in the world are. let's seem to their reporting from rome we move now to kenya which is seeing more green turtles hatch on its so than shores it's welcome news because the green turtle is listed as endangered on the red list of threatened species a local conservation group is one of many trying to protect turtles and their

flash drive that revealed a program with murky objectives. in the memory stick a thousands of confidential qatar charity documents bank transfers email exchanges don't know lists. the collection unveils the existence of a huge hit to unknown funding operation for an extensive network of islamic associations across europe. and out of 140 projects worth more than 216000000 euros qatar charity is the main contributor accounting for 120000000 euros. several countries are the focus of attention italy with $47.00 projects from $22.00 spain and the united kingdom 11 projects each and germany 10.

apart from various unnamed contributors qatar charities list of generous donors features a number of extremely influential supporters including several members of the qatari ruling family and the deal won the emmy as executive office all of these initiatives night at the heart of the program that according to this presentation brochure promotes islamic culture throughout the world especially in the west. we spent 2 years investigating this campaign. and. charity has been under scrutiny for years for arab countries the united arab emirates saudi arabia egypt and bar. i accuse it of sponsoring islamist groups

under the cover of humanitarian aid. all thing this points to the ruling tunney. the e.u. the world disco tanzania shake tom in the bin how much tiny know about the activities of his country's largest n.g.o.s. during an official visit to doha by french president emanuel mcconnell we took the opportunity to ask him. we know that there are some people here in qatar who are suspected of funding i was going to say shadowy groups overseas but there are also suspicions about qatar charity and change. a little some information about qatar in the media is not true. we have taken a range of measures like a target to counter the financing of terrorism and yes that's true. but some of the information you mention may be exaggerated or fall.

we continued our investigation in europe. in fronts according to our dossier qatar charity has funded 22 projects tens of millions of euros invested in mosques islamic centers and schools all of them are supported by muslims of france an association called m d f formally known as the union of french islamic organizations or us i asked the flash drive contained substantial information on one initiative in particular qatar charities flagship project in europe is located in mill use in eastern frumps . computer generated images of the future and new a center show a prayer room built on 2 floors classrooms for a new school and a library. the presentation bears the qatar charity logo and

is intended to attract donors. describes other services offered by the future community center designed in compliance with religious norms observed in qatar a swimming pool with separate hours for men and women restaurants and supermarkets and a health clinic. while waiting for the project to be completed worshippers pray in an old rundown mosque built in the seventy's. you have a rug good put it there and pray. nasa is president of the muslim association of aus a local branch of muslims are from so it's an old garage there's a prayer room inside and another one on the ground floor but since there are so many people there is not enough room and they pray next door so we organize to prayer services on friday there's one of 1 o'clock and we allow for late comers

that way we don't pray outside or next door so we don't bother anyone we have a 2nd prayer at 2 o'clock to avoid praying in the street with exactly. it is. you can eat this he was really. the only the because you know we can't go on worshipping in this place it isn't worthy of our religious faith or a community center the state is secular it can give funds to any religious faith is your money is welcome wherever it comes from we accept all forms of assistance it can come from people who support the muslim brotherhood or support wahhabi islam or i don't know what as long as we're not subject to any pressure otherwise we refuse and we have sometimes refusal is the. construction of the new mosque began in

2006 and is almost finished the our newest center is designed to address the communities new needs. this is the main entrance that's where the reception desk will be able to be who come to pray can go directly to the prayer rooms appear. like us through this article the room has a maximum capacity of $1500.00 and a total area of about a 1000 square metres the facade is glass so power. by can see inside we have nothing to hide so our organization believes in transparency. transparency even when it comes to funding the association received to minister pull brown tender nations from the community but the project is costing more than $25000000.00 euros so it also sought financial support from wealthy donors.

used to go look at the knowledge is that more than half of the sentence budget was funded by contributions from to go from countries q 8 and tom lesser distance to park his own city qatar made donations of almost 7000000 euros but we're not talking about qatar rather an organization we don't work with the state neither the qatari nor the coa to government the donors are private individuals they have to go through an official organization charity the couple share it with you have the same vision of islam i assume. this is a vacuum i don't know what their vision of islam is i know my vision of islam we're a member of the former you know their vision is our vision it's an islam of the middle ground as if we're going to tar kuwait saudi arabia each country has its vision but they don't impose that vision on france made that you are

a muslim brother. to them is almost always our muslim brothers in a way because you're my brother in humanity he's my brother in islam. what. do you could tell and he waits really donate money with no strings attached. in paris an agent from the french intelligence service has strong doubts he was willing to meet us but requested not to be filmed. we reconstructed the interview. the mosque was abundant through different channels in early 201-798-4000 was paid on february 2nd 1000000 123001 february 2nd 1000000 139001 the 23rd and 20172017 but where did the donations come from from qatar charity easily $5000000.00 said to be $5000000.00 euros plus the $5000000.00

from 2016. he says last year so that's right. according to our source the annual a mosque in malaysia is has ties to the muslim brotherhood movement the muslim brotherhood was founded in egypt in 1028 by his son al bana a teacher and see a login who sought to accomplish 2 objectives liberate the country from british diminish and understand a see a classic regime based on sharia or islamic law. maintains that islam was the solution to the moral and identity crisis in joost by colonial rule he focused on use education so that future militants would be well prepared and he developed a network devoted to ideological and religious training the organization in gauged

in charitable and social activities that in 1948 king for oops prime minister was killed by a member of the brotherhood the government became alarmed by the blitz growing influence and decided to ban it. a year later. was assassinated. the muslim brotherhood continued to operate on the ground it adopted violent methods and set up a secret paramilitary wing in 1952 it supported the military coup d'etat that brought a gun nasser to power a few months later. to journalling ideologies now confronted one another nasa's socialist inspired pan arab isn't and the muslim brotherhoods pan islam ism centered on divine or. what will. and i mean. what. a leap yet given. he must.

tell you. do you have to share just in the stuff. they need been to see we need to pump. less of the house. so that's not the infamous and elaborate black and i live in that's not. i remember that episode of you want the ballot. nasa decided to clamp down on his burdensome allies and the organization was dissolved for the 2nd time in 1954 the brotherhood became the target of a fierce crackdown in the sixty's some members of the group sought refuge in europe . expert in political islam house in the gay has studied the careers of alabama's ideological as in europe they founded such islamic organizations as you i-f.

in france you see in italy and in germany. i would be more inclined to call them neo muslim brotherhood a neo muslim brother is someone who clearly identifies with the egyptian muslim brotherhood and ideological terms but it wasn't connected to the brotherhood materially or organically the muslim brotherhood is more an ideology of a good entity there's no cards there's no special status to particular. all ruled european projects currently funded by qatar charity linked to the neo mis lens. for the past 15 years and italian academic has been conducting research on muslim brotherhood networks in the west he meets with them members collects their stories and analyzes that time in 2015 there ends of a dino was hired by george washington university in washington d.c. to head its programme on extremism. and we'll ask him to take

a look at the documents stored on the flash drive. business paper business but you're seeing the end of the photos once. back in london. just. getting. money. transfer money sent in will get noticed. it confirms what i think there's a concerted effort to buy. in to fund the brotherhood networks in europe and to fund the substation we're talking about very big amounts here. it adds a level of detail it's a confirmation see evidence of that i fink what surprises me is how sophisticated this is how consistent it is it's basically almost exclusively

brotherhood entities what is important though and makes it more important is the fact that it comes particular time where other funders have pulled out other countries debates used to fund the brotherhood networks if we're talking about the seventy's the eighty's used to be saudi arabia because i didn't create this that's or has been fair for a long long time so that if we show him a document signed by qatar's most prominent cleric kind of diary recommending support for a mosque project in milan the thanks of a get a letter of support from the recognize your ritual leader of the muslim brotherhood the pope if you will of the muslim brotherhood the use of all of that we it's a huge piece of evidence that shows that the brotherhood is backing this project. is the leading proponent of ideology. born in

1926 like many militants he was imprisoned by nasa in the fifty's. in 1961 he fled to khatam. and servant of muslims listen to himself not necessarily muslim brothers mind you he's an advocate of total islam what is total islam it's the idea that islam should govern both private and public life individual affairs and government affairs little. town reporting to dari dean of the university that when he founded the faculty of islamic studies he became a close friend of the ruling family often appearing in public with the out-i nice. town also gave him a building to serve as the headquarters for the international union for muslim scholars over which he presided. in addition to these religious

platforms the government offered him a global media puppet in 1996 a talk show on al-jazeera called sharia under life for over 15 years our kara di dispensed weekly advice to an audience of 60000000 viewers issuing fatwahs sometimes shocked the west. out of more than $6000.00 verses of the koran there is one verse that deals with a condescending and disobedient wife it is said that one of the methods of treatment is and that. should a homosexual or a lesbian be punished. so some say they should be thrown from a high place as god did with the people of sodom some say we should burn them 1st and the last a lot are a deep throughout history allah has imposed people upon the jews who would punish them for their corruption the last punishment was carried out by hitler.

factoring all the things he did to them even though they exaggerated this issue he managed to put them in their place for the media as. some friends have called it a hottie that says islam will conquer wrong. stuff. well yeah does this mean that we will bank wish the europeans once again. i believe the next conquest will be conducted through door walk but of course the muslims must start acting in order to conquer this world. although this passage from the prophet isn't specifically referred to in the flesh dr documents italy is clearly the n.g.'s main target the country is home to the

largest number of projects 47 in all funded to the tune of 25000000 euros by qatar charité. most of them bad the stamp of the union of islamic communities and organizations of it's silly or you see. which is ideologically close to the muslim brotherhoods. an analysis of the does ca points to one area in particular sicily. one of the documents is a brochure devoted entirely to the region with 11 projects that funded by katon charity. on page 3 the organization highlights the fact that the island was once and the muslim rule as if to justify its support. is non came to the island in $8827.00 and lasted for about 472 years a period during which the region enjoyed stability and progress. the

ngo cites the same historical reference on pages 12 and 13 to rationalize its decision to acquire a building in messina. it was built in 1910 the owners are of arab descent its architectural design is inspired by its original islamic features. this is the building in question. right of delafield who was born in algeria is president of the islamic community of sicily and in am a 10 year he negotiated its purchase. lawyer we are more. we received all this aid from doha. and the islamic community of sicily was the 1st association to be recognized by qatar charities. that qatar the army she would eat

but it's the 1st to have received the funds and they're all legal. and still are you a muslim brother. no i'm not a muslim brother i'm a muslim and only just this we're all brothers. we hear that all the time. we're all brothers. civil to one activist in northern francis decided to oppose the brotherhood's double speak an engineer born in morocco in 1980 mohammed who easy joined the muslim brotherhood when he was a teenager at the end of the ninety's he went to leo to attend college and joined the u.s. i-f. its leaders took him under their wing and assigned him the local g.t. . for 15 years from 1901 to 2006 i was a member of the brotherhood and in october 2006 i decided to leave the organization after realizing that the brothers teaching were meant to turn us young people in the ninety's into ideological instruments. so i decided to speak out to

start a blog write articles and to dig deeper so people could understand it so other young people didn't get ensnared by this ideology should you wish. he carries out most of his research on the internet on social media that's how he discovered the desk mosque which he attended for many years and which is run by us yes received a visit of a qatari delegation in 26 staying. in this photo in the background there's the villain of the ask mosque here you see the rector of the mosque mohammad current. next to him is our last far the current president of muslims of france the former us. and that man is shy come out of ben nasser of the chairman of the board of directors of qatar charity in doha qatar shall we say the big boss of. shaikh hamad bin tiny's more than the

highest ranking person in the organization a former minister of the interior he is a leading member of the ruling family and a cousin of the media to mean that we see is more interested in someone else say you know that one shake ahmed mohamed ali. let's say he's the one who distributes the funds for qatar charity in europe according to my sources he holds a qatari diplomatic passport he travels pretty much everywhere in europe and he's the one who meets with members of the muslim brotherhood in each city. a collection of documents includes proof that katon charity wired funds to the villeneuve desk center a bank receipt for more than 250000 reales or approximately 60000 euros.

appears in a number of photos like this one taken at the new us site in most news sometimes in western clothes sometimes in traditional dress. there's even a picture of him preaching at the old mill use garish mosque. he also attended the inauguration of the kid tania mosque in sicily louisiana's they found him in a series of $28.00 programs filmed in europe in 2015 for a qatari channel propaganda broadcasts promoting political islam. in the 21. he was filmed in spain italy france germany england but here we see mohammad ahmed how mahdi visiting. you are you showing us you know one of the euro i have leaders more is overseeing a project to build

a mosque there that commemorates the battle of 732. the time of shah. told you shall not work on the 30 for this is an important date in french history since it was the only victory by christians over muslims at the time one by. king of the franks. it's noted that the conquest was won by the sword because we're not sure that are you today we want our center in iraq today to be a new stage of the most not conquest but in a different way we hope to make this place a center of dialogue for. when muslims in a working class neighborhood want to build a place of worship they don't have this idea in their heads of conquering through mosques but in the mind of the muslim brotherhood the construction of a mosque means making the muslim presence not to say the islamist presence more visible in france and europe. i was with an arab broadcasters

so the discussion was in arabic and the audience was exclusively arab. in muslim history muslims believe that the army of the time war martyrs. is called the city of martyrs lane so it must be put in an historical context. the grand mosque doesn't have a name. it's called the grand mosque of watty a period i do not like what was good 44. more claims he didn't receive any foreign funding however the memory stick contains receipts of 2 bank transfers in 2012 to the muslim association of quests for the martyrs lane mosque one for 1000000 rios the other 457-5000 reales equivalent to a total of nearly 400000 euros of watching over you. i see that

it was sent to. 1000000. if and then there. was it looks to me like it was transferred to our account probably. do what year was that 2012 right so probably it took place honestly i don't remember at all but here it says muslim association in arabic it can't be this account number and bank book you there is a u.r.l. i after 20 account for the construction of the party a mosque. we also noticed that qatar charity provided funds to associations that were 99 percent linked to the muslim brotherhood without necessarily being affiliated. with yes but it's quite legitimate for you to help associations. legal whose understanding and reading of his lawn you approve of the. i think that's perfectly normal the feeling was because this is what we all know is that

qatar embarked on a huge very well funded image campaign. he didn't vested in the paris sasha mom football club and wanted to help entrepreneurs and poor suburbs and book they did. it wanted to rebuild its image to distance itself from saudi arabia to say we represent another approach another way of looking at as long. he did this to promote a modern islam they can text to allies as long. as you. confirm that qatar has a strategy of supporting the muslim brotherhood network. and those who are close to it. the sudden surge in spending caught the attention of intelligence services. in gemini at the state office for the protection of the constitution in

north rhine-westphalia. direct to book written he shared his thoughts with us. we have observed that salafism is out to divide society but also the muslim brothers ostensibly they uphold democracy we've observed that within the organization there's a push for an islamic state based on the koran and sharia. sharia. germany we've noticed for some time now that the muslim brotherhood has become more active and. we assume that the muslim brotherhood is funded both by private donations and by arab countries. and financial interested is in the we raise awareness of the dangers posed by the muslim brotherhood among the public and also politicians and specifically of the ways it undermines democracy at its roots as to the democratic. mind and feel is to i recommend banning donations from

abroad because that allows foreign governments to influence religious elements that are active here under the movement afoot. charity exert influence over the and. if so how. the museum of the civilizations of islam in the swiss city of foam in the can tone of new show was financed by qatar charity it opened its doors in 2016 its director is not come. for this museum came about 17 years ago driven by a desire to create something enjoyable and at the same time a place where people can go to seek answers. at the time of its inauguration coming made a list of donors public they were primarily from the gulf she didn't hide the fact

that some of the funds were funneled through could target charity. these people can't send money directly but can give it to a local organization that qatar charity once transferred a small sum we didn't have any choice it was either that or we didn't get our money we don't know that chip. no idea coming when her husband mohammed come outta here on the right operates a dozen associations cultural centers and religious centers in french speaking switzerland and in the canton of tino they are influential islamic figures in their country the flash drive documents show that nadia come outta downplays her ties to qatar charity in 2014 she signed a contract with its director. to renovate the building that houses the museum in total 14 bank receipts not only for payments to the cultural institute that hosts

the museum but also to another cultural center in lows and to an association in lugano into chino. these 2 establishment run by her husband between 20112013 qatar charity wired nearly 3000000 swiss francs or more than 2 and a half 1000000 euro. for initiatives headed by the husband and wife team says look you know are you familiar with this document it's an application an application for fun signed by. by me. and i don't deny it. like me it's a large amount. well yes it's an interesting country. no but you told me it was a small. yes yes it's for the new project besides they didn't agree to finance it they want us to start and then they'll decide here's

a bunch of wire transfers that's your institute week and they are very large some think they give you quite a lot of money if you know suquamish. as i told you they're not the ones who financed us it was individuals people wrote checks made donations and it was up to qatar charity to transfer them to us and they did that sometimes with difficulty i'm i doubt it was the london office that decided it they said yes 1st we need a contract we didn't want to sign because there were conditions should lose they signed a contract with them and they have to fulfill all the conditions yeah and how the conditions are displaying the qatar flag cetera inviting 3 or 4 of their people to every meeting and so on and they also need to approve certain expansion projects for example then as i go on the small in other words they want to control the entities they find it is not that they impose but they influence. a little yes

they try to exert influence thanks to the commerce is qatar charities influence has spread beyond the borders of switzerland into fronts. this is what journalist 20 aon discovered in a memo written by the french domestic intelligence agency. said to note. the memo describes how french customs carried out an inspection on a high speed train from zurich to paris on april 30th 2007 that mr mohammad camos was questioned and that he was found to be carrying 50000 euros in cash. should go mr kamu said the 50000 euros were given to him in geneva by a man named ahmed are needy. and his benefactor acts as a liaison for the prestigious egyptian shaikh use of. the sum was intended for the

a mood around the institute for 30 years until 2018 i don't think challenge of receiving payments from kids haunt charity. the number of financial entanglements between katon charity and its benefactors increased between 201420178 period when catullus neighbors were ramping up pressure on the country. tar is at the epicenter of a diplomatic earthquake saudi arabia egypt the united arab emirates and bahrain have sever diplomatic ties with the small country they accuse it of supporting terrorism getting tomorrow airline companies in the region will suspend the flights to and from there it's our the objective is to financially strangle the emirate the political and economic blockade of qatar began on june 5th 2017

a move justified by catullus alleged support of islamist groups but the state was also paying for its unchecked growth strategy it to put it in order to achieve independence from saudi arabia. katon charity closed down its mayfair office in london in 2018 and its local officials left the country. but in fact qatar charity u.k. didn't really disappear it changed its name to necktie trust a few months ago and it no longer has a london office as if to raise old timers but the parent company. with the boy. the pressure on doha since 2017 has been intense saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt all cited catullus support of the muslim brotherhood as one of the reasons for the blockade. the.

we decided to visit the organizations headquarters also equipped with a hidden camera since our requests to the qatari authorities had fallen on deaf ears. are you ahmed i'm his assistant. your french journalist do you want to film here. do you have a permit do you have the document can i take this is he busy he's in a meeting i can't disturb him invest in a lot of most can europe and we look at that because you don't know. him but it's we've got to watch. russia. and like you are so they are. so it should be got out of the a lot of the big push it. over to the motion of

there's. good people. was a big big hole. after this meeting in qatar charity stopped responding to our requests in response to international pressure the emirates has now toned down its efforts to expand its influence including in the area of religion i checked a few informations and it seems that qatar finance muslim brotherhood branches in europe it's not what i say my answer is no. guitar does not support the muslim brotherhood in europe you are talking under the assumption that the muslim brotherhood is one entity what is the muslim brotherhood in tunisia you have a number you have i mean you officially the different european countries have official ties with tunisia and they have problems dealing with another part i don't think so going back to your question any involvement of guitar in europe in terms

of any contributions this is totally illegal and i'm pretty sure it's under the side of the respective governments so it exists i'm not sure i mean it depends case by case sic it arctic be i mean through some of the legal entities could be contributing to some cultural censors and so on and so forth but then the way you phrase it sounds very suspicious while it's very legal and in the light. of what this means is that the west should face up to its own responsibilities to be sure qatar charities funding channels are complex and a paid babs if qatar like other arab states before it became involved in funding is now more on european soil it was merely filling a void. if european countries hope to counter this strategy of religious influence they must provide their citizens of muslim faith with the means

of practicing their religion. the. the. in a world filled with beautiful images talk of hers have to work hard. to stand out. to find the special place this didn't compromise. the perfect moment. or just have some pretty crazy ideas by the way this camera was made that machines you've. been through.
