the u.a.e. - currently there are prosecutions against egyptians in the u.a.e. for activities with the muslim brotherhood. we can expect players like qatar and the u.a.e. to react as in the past. we can expect the u.a.e. to back the government in this party. either tacitly or implicitly and expect qatar to support them. i mean, in terms of international support, that's an important point because a terrorist designation doesn't have teeth if they have international backing. we'll have to see how the state department weighs in, or the europeans. those powers, whether they also make a designation, would have consequences as to whether international funds can be frozen. >> a spokesperson for the state department still needs participation across the political spectrum. >> it was a tale of two video messages. there was britain's christmas greeting from the queen and then commentary from former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden. phil ittner watched both of them. >> speaking for under two minutes edward snowden wished great britains a merry christmas and transitioned int

." >> i've been critical of u.a.e. commonly known as drone strikes. the reason is palmar - pushing policy that can be cashing cattured. president obama ditched the democracy piece and kept the gun. he defined and thought if he decapitated the leadership of al qaeda, by surgical strikes, drone strikes he'd fix the problem. we are dealing with an insurgency. the phrase they used in the barack obama administration was al-qaeda-inspired terrorist. al qaeda is the end product of decades of extremism. >> you say you can't kill an idea, ideas are bulletproof. what can the united states do and other moderate muslims do. is there more organizations like quil am to help. >> if we look at the combination of what happened al qaeda achieved more since the death of possible than through his life-time. they described territory in north mali, in yemen. they never did that during the lifetime of bin laden. surgical strikes didn't achieve with what we wanted to achieve. ure job should be to make the ideology of islamism as unattractive. >> we wish you the best in your

to tax remittances because taxing those remittances is huge revenue stream, revenue stream for the u.a.e. i don't think that is quite workable and qataris are don't to do it or haven't announced they are going to do it but i think the situation of migrant workers is extremely complex and i don't think we can say based on anecdotal evidence that we hear we can generalize that all workers are in a dire predictment.al having said youi will of that i realize i'm explaining or trying to talk about an extremely complex, very emotionally-charged subject in a couple of seconds and which i can't do justice too but think it is important to keep in mind there are people who make a lot of money and there are people who are exploited and whosem passports are confiscated and are not paid for months and work in horrible conditions and have to go back to horrible camps but at the same time, there are those that, who are much better off, working as migrant workers in qatar than they would be had they stayed. and, again the question of, if it is so bad why do they keepr coming back? i think it is an impor

think right now it doesn't seem like -- here a little bit i think elliot mentioned, we tend to lump u.a.e and qatar and the gcc states together, there is serious divergence with oman is made obvious but emiratis have a quite different view than the saudis when it comes to iran. they have their own security problems. it is not just about the nuclear agreement but they have business interests that were quite considerable and that were cut off bit sanctions that the bush administration and obama administration continue to work through the p5-plus-one. my main point, your general question leads to somewhat of a general answer. in the short run i don't see sort of clear opportunities for cooperation but i think in the long run if these societies evolve in the way i think it is difficult to predict but in trajectory, more open, inclusive views in their own societies there are is more room for them to cooperate. presently? no. >> agree. >> gentleman in the second row. >> my name is stuart brofman. i'm just an ordinary citizen who has keenly observed that the media and analysts have characterized
