9:32 am
women. being able to face chat in terms of women is looked at or even sometimes seen is the new products and right it doesn't it's not only related to religion there are many regions that are not the sum of creatures but woman is deprived from even her simplest rights i think also that it is related to education more it's related more to her to sometimes it's more to society it's a related to some traditions that have not advanced to religion so you have said that there is no gender gap in your country can a woman in your country get the top job become the prime minister for instance that's the big question here in russia can a woman ever be president any time soon what about your country. now i think you know as you can and that's that the beginning. have been going to speak and my country to be the first in the world it shows you that. women. equally
9:33 am
as men having many of them very critical you know ministries positions held by women it shows you that. there is a more. you know. comprehensive and sustainable you know vision that we have working on and that we are empowering fourth man and female to take that role and something with that britain future. right since you're the head of the emirates lord rising body one of the top politicians in your country and this is close as i have ever gotten to talking to a politician that rang from your country let's talk politics. you have said that terrorism is an instrument used by some countries and regimes to achieve their foreign policy objectives what kind of foreign policy objectives can be achieved. with terrorism. i think terrorism can only achieve destruction
9:34 am
unfortunately there might be some political agendas that can be practiced through terrorism which has to be clear and this is a very and idolatry that we are against. whether being. as chanson or levels we are against hers we have to centralize dyess and target which is working against violent extremists. that's built in joint with the international experts and also someone to contact also terrorism on the digital . world. but most importantly and to i mean when you know i would use to create you know. a culture of tolerance and moderation is a very important thing and that's happening through empowering them and let them have
9:35 am
our own and fully engage them in shaping their future moreover i think our fight against terrorism is not only. national or regional it have to be global because there are no borders for terrorism and it has noted it too and i think you know we as muslims have suffered the most of it because unfortunately when you have children you know oh you're a minority all tourist police school all the people who have excluding their own agendas to get into power and they are trying to hijack islam as a peaceful religion to. claim that this is the way it should be practiced for us as muslims we are the majority the one billion hundred. muslims around the world who live in peace and we believe that we should get back. to the. a mix of islam which is
9:36 am
a peaceful language and we should continue with her hands and turn and join forces with. people all around the world so that we can stop violent extremism and terrorism in order to do so we have stopped this lately here in the joint to a partnership with the e.u. i didn't know that you want the high level advisory committee on fighting the terrorism and the extremism and the union which channing and we have members from many different you know one of those who are are eager to be president the role of armaments and fighting going to tourism and i think it's really just nation don't also think of us that the answer to join of course and between governments and. parliaments we can have been you know
9:37 am
not only we're trying to bring the compactor so. all right dr albright see we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to dr ahmad by c. president of the federal national council of the united arab emirates talking about the country's policies in the middle east stay with us.
9:38 am
what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be press that's what the forty three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. last question. back geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble all. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. is a. church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing
9:39 am
children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not know the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that if that's known as the i intend then i conclude that it is this out in. this. case both. you know world of big partisan move lot and conspiracy good. time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past
9:40 am
each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. now we're back with dr. president of the federal national council of the united arab emirates talking about the country's role in some of the crisis in the middle east. before the break you have talked about the emirates efforts to combat
9:41 am
terrorism however we're getting reports from sociate press that just recently. saying i'm ready to reiterate forces in yemen are cutting deals with al qaeda on the ground from funding al qaeda related militias to actually recruiting al qaeda fighters to fight for the coalition how can the emirates combat terrorism efficiently when it is faced with the accusation of the same thing. and there you are you have always been committed to fight against terrorists we respect the international laws we respect also you and and the. international security council resolutions our role in yemen we've been asked by the digital meter government. to government so that they can stop the killing of the civilians there and also what happened through the minority of who sees who try
9:42 am
to hijack the country from its own people. we joined that abian condition with. that by so doing and at the beginning we had to seven eyes the situation room military action but now more than ever i would rule is how we can bring prosperity and also stability again to yemen through empowering its people to fight for their own country and also so helping them to continue so that we are bringing hope through. the tremendous military and that the u.a.e. is participating in yemen it's one of the highest you know. also injected into yemen to even think in the last year i myself have this to determine and. own asli i was so much over one with the tremendous efforts. of
9:43 am
soldiers and also our people from that and italian aid contributed to in yemen and the building houses hospitals providing you know electricity but more than that also taking care of the wounded one in our own hospitals we had i have been also acknowledged by the. board telephone. director general director that with the u.a.e. efforts and first the. i think their access to the different villages in yemen they wouldn't have been able to bring their aids especially when it comes to them to make of cholera and how you way you have it tremendously into also. providing treatment and providing also all the necessary requirement so that the civilians will be safe and also they will be treated when it comes to these
9:44 am
accusations as you said we hope that people before accusing you know what the u.a.e. or any others who are trying to do their role ethically and humanitarian and also. respectively to the u.n. resolutions to go on the ground and seek the truth and accordingly we are building capacity among the yemenis themselves so that they can. lead their. battle and they can gain but their country. all this accusing actions as you said it's only rumor so that they will undermine our own and they are trying to show that our you know role in yemen. is. a negative you know. way of getting back to us because if it wasn't for our support they wouldn't have been defeated in many of the cities in yemen we believe in diplomatic solution we
9:45 am
believe that there should be compromises we believe that they should continue negotiation from both sides so that they can find a peaceful in also lucian to. save the lives of yemeni people and also to give them hope and building their future again and until that happen we need to be there to stabilize the situation so it will not get back to what it started so dr al could. i see i just need to have this on the record you say that all these accusations are false so is it fair to say that all of the witnesses that associated press has gathered witnesses on the ground. tribal leader those are all false because it was everywhere in the press and i need you to to have this on the record so all this witnesses and reports from associated press are false what why there are no other witnesses showing they go and interview with them so that they
9:46 am
can see the side of the story we want a fair. very truthful reflection with comes to media to the facts on the ground yes when we see our rule there that we are strong and we are sure how much we contributed to making peace and how we are contributing to. bringing back the rights of the people. and when it comes to the u.a.e. . rule that we have always been embracing and continue to do know what fight it is true isn't a force we don't believe it is for. so you've talked about the help to the yemeni people that the arab coalition is providing in the country at the same time for the last three years it's an undeniable fact that. u.a.e.
9:47 am
along with saudi arabia have been major players in the war in yemen and it is believed that one third of all air strikes of the saudi led coalition nonmilitary targets air attacks by some coalition are causing the most civilian casualties in this war and just recently an attack on a school bus killed forty children and when the coalition admitted that this airstrike was unjustified. even they said it. what's wrong with the coalition military incidents. if this continues to happen when it comes to our forces that they have already trained and by the best you know. terrorists in the in the world they are highly accurate and at the same time as i as i said myself i have visited the base there too and i've seen you know they could see high level of accuracy that they are working on and also we are not only more than the one with all the
9:48 am
lions also in the villages they have their try to do their best and that. there will not you know cause any. civilian. deaths or injuries. to be to my knowledge what you had. been you know so much efforts to integrate many of the cities and based on the commission that is provided based on also all. the different efforts to avoid any. casualties. and many unfortunately sometimes unfortunate incidents can happen but that doesn't mean they are you know intended or that doesn't mean they know that they are not sometimes even exaggerated in the way they have reflected and. i think as i said more
9:49 am
extensive and more on the ground investigations should be done in a very different way then you can say and you can state such facts what a surprise that your country is willing to play pay to claim victory over the who. in your opinion how much longer are the united arab emirates willing to fight this war. well what's the price of a sort of you know a human being there is no price and we have lost you know our own you know sons in this war against who sees only against terrorists malicious and i think you know i would believe that to bring stability is very important part of our role. and our commitment to our brothers and also to them many people. it's an important way in that in this equivalence i think
9:50 am
it's very important to see that. we want the yemeni people to claim their own right in deciding the future of their country and. in order to do so what can would benefit them with the government was the way from the beginning we have. to know what if. he meant it just seven guys and they who things are a minority they are unfortunately. you know supported by iranians who are providing them with all these missionary and guns so that more you know internal interference and more turbulence will be caused and we cannot. you know. such more of instability to continue i think we are hopeful that in future them the people themselves who are
9:51 am
now you know trying to get trade with their own military level on whether also on the educational level to bring more stability and more support for spitting to this country. by say thank you very much. for this interview and thank you for sharing your thoughts on whatever is going on in this conflict we were talking to dr ahmad new president of the federal national council of the united arab emirates speaking at the gathering crisis and the united arab emirates role in it that is it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next time.
9:52 am

9:53 am
doesn't know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether shooting with the birds here. and mistrust the tibetans are. better now. than you but i'm a. middle class and muslims always going to win the. it's seemed wrong. to me to get to shape out just to come to the ticket and in game because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
9:54 am
cooked additional submersed so i know what was and gets up to linger some of these it's inconsistent with what you're looking it's nice to know. who's doing it. see i'm here yet so when in my future now i shall proceed. to look at with a showing of the where the study scene is lost when i try it don't you think it will show. you have the same sort of. boat of shipping. yep and the most it does the book hit the wall with the books and able. to say no i don't know what that or. if it was the latest movies in the puss. stuff no worries i'm all right so yeah i've put this list of those. lyrics are students are in the store oh yeah the soulful.
