it's like before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the lines of how. best to. go you don't accept the salute just as the oldest was ready to love it it's. over television. and i don't buy the stuff i love me a lot of them had a lot of them somebody doesn't know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting whether they're cheering. mistrust out of the. love of.

both which would mean you must be just like you know that into you but i'm addicted to sit with your middle class and in the muslims all these clear when the. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past 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.

go home sophie shevardnadze the united arab emirates growing economic and political influence is being felt everywhere in the middle east but will the quagmire of the war in yemen sink the new mission of the tiny nation talk to the president of the emirates federal national council the most senior a female politician of the arab world dr amal. with its muscle being tested in the war and its economic presence felt from egypt to somalia the united arab emirates is trying on the role of a regional power but does the small states have. to sustain its ambitions managed to step out of the shadows of its powerful neighbors and how can that change the

great game in the middle east. dr ahmad by say president of the federal national council of the united arab emirates welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us i hope you are enjoying your stay in st peter's work so let's start with your personal experience you are they hi a strengthening female politician in the arab world first woman to head a national assembly of an arab state i mean obviously that means that this world is very male centric how does that complicate your work how do you make men listen to you. thank you for hosting me i think. using our talent as women. being able to face challengers and at the same time to transcend to all of our potential it makes possible for us to be able to offer for all what's required for us to fill any seat whether being

a mother or being even a speaker and i think we've been fortunate also by the high respect and the support of men especially when it comes to my country and the u.a.e. from the leadership to the community that all believe in the role of women and they believe also that. we cannot you know empower the society if we don't empower women especially when it comes to political participation internationally not only at the u.a.e. or even in the arab world that's what it's well known it's mailed to me when i think now the e-mail box nation have proven that it's about it and it's already have bring so much my results and accordingly i think that the u.a.e. you will find that we have eight ministers and minister cabinets and the percentage of women around twenty three percent in the parliament and we have we have more than thirty percent of leadership positions held by women sixty five sixty percent of the federal workforce is from females and there are also when it comes to higher

education where a percent more than eighty percent on female come into my education at all compliment each other and i think. we've been fortunate as i said by the support we get but also we want and we board this great you know respect because we're hard workers and we are sincere and loyal to our mission and building our countries. but you know you said it yourself that it's a very male dominated world. regardless the fact that we're seeing more and more women being part of the political establishment how hard was it for you to get where you are. well. i think it wasn't an easy way all the time i had to prove myself through my dictation i studied architecture and i also know through teaching at the university to both male and

female. you know understand some of that respect and. understanding that the women in. their partnership in the development of this country so i think it wasn't that hard because also we had her highness. always was the first lady and she was so much passionate about women empowerment and they have already embedded in their own sons and leaders and also in the society so when the community is understanding of the women rule it becomes easier for them to sit and listen and also to join forces why do you think that some muslim nations are more open minded and promoting women's rights than others they all have very different pace to when it comes to promoting promoting women why is

that i mean all of them practice the same religion most of them live by sharia law why is to pay so different. you know this number is based on equality and actually on board women most than any other time. it's not religion related and it's not only in countries all over the world you will find that there are differences in the way sometimes women is looked at or even sometimes she is super right it doesn't it's not only related to religion there are many regions that are not the sum of creatures. what woman is deprived from even her simplest rights i think also. that it's related to education more it's related more to her to sometimes it's more to society 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 as men having get many of them very critical you know ministries to positions held by women it shows you that. there is a more. you know. comprehensive and sustainable vision that we have working on and that we are in pony for me and i think to take that role and something to with that britain future. 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 unfortunately there might be somebody. that can be brought to terrorism which is the truth. and this is a very good and i don't know that we are against. whether it be good. the as chanson on board levels we are against hers we have two centers in dyess internal which is working against violent extremism. that's built and joined with the international experts and also someone to contact also terrorism on the digital. world. but most importantly. to i'm human 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 a role 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 that you 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 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 eight hundred. muslims around the world who live in peace and we believe that we should get back. to the real image of islam which is a peaceful damage and we should continue with the hand in hand and join forces with . people all around the world so that we can stop politics seriously and to terrorism in order to do so we have stopped this. lately here in there a joint partnership with the i p 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 that all of our movements and fighting terrorism and i think it's really just nation don't also think that the answer to join of course and between governments and. parliaments we can have been you know not only were trying to bring the come but there was a. place you were 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.

it's seemed wrong. when old rules just don't. meet you get to shape out just because that's ok and in games red equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

so you had a place. where

back. 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 terrorism however we're getting reports from 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. the u.a.e. have always been committed to its fight against terrorists we respect their

international laws we respect also u.n. and. international security council resolutions our role in yemen we've been asked by the digital mature 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 would try to hijack the country from its own people. we joined that abian condition with. that by so doing and at the beginning we had the seven eyes the situation room military action but now more than ever our 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 print so that we are bringing hope through.

the tremendous humanitarian aid that the u.a.e. is participating in yemen it's one of the highest you know. also injected into yemen to even think again. last year i myself have visited yemen and the onus lee i was so much overwhelmed with the tremendous efforts. of soldiers and also our people from the helmet and a contributor to 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 have i have been also acknowledged by the. board health organization 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 accusations as you said we hope that people before accusing you know with 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 underground and seek the truth and accordingly we are building capacity among the yemeni 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 believe that there should be compromise and we believe that they should continue negotiations 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 can see the side of the story i mean we want a fair. very truthful. reflection 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 fighting.

course 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. 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 even the coalition admit it that this airstrike was unjustified. even they said it what's wrong with the coalition military if incidents like this continue 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 seem high level of accuracy that they're working on and also we are not only was the one with all the lions also in the villages they have they're trying to do their best to. be there when not you know of course any. civilian deaths or injuries. to my knowledge what you had mentioned. there been you know so much efforts to integrate many of the cities and based on the commission that is provided based on also all. different efforts to avoid any. casualties. and many

unfortunately sometimes unfortunate incidents can't 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 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 is the price that your country is willing to play pay to claim victory over the who is this in your opinion how much longer is 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 militias

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 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 in the government was the way from the beginning we have. to know what it costs him and it's just seven eyes 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 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. thank you for sharing your thoughts on whatever is going on. we were talking to. the federal national council of the united arab emirates. the united arab

emirates well that is it for this edition of so i will see you next time. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. few sit down and talk.

this is. a church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally. to call this the solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out the priest is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot were the previous. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice doesn't do that and it is as old as the eye and then i include at tuesday's out in the. you know world big part of. a lot of things and conspiracy it's 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 back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. in. the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. who are still just as the words of sympathy want to become lost and enter another one the last some just as bad but as many of them look for refuge in the so called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities best person as bank. policy to point out i then had to press on and get them in a lot of class and they want that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the

country with donald trump in the white house. both of you what if he had to be bribed to do. a fed sit scramble to many couples. to which at the push to put impulse response both of you out to to do the fault of the. attempt.
