it has the signature of the emir of qatar. it was over the exact same set of issues.ar promised to stop supporting groups and individuals giving us a hard time. unfortunately, everything that has been signed into the agreement has been violated for the last three years. the collective frustration with the four countries are at any level. they are still in line with what they signed up to in 2014. we are ready to sit down with qatar tomorrow and negotiate the 13 demands. if the qataris are willing to negotiate. so far they haven't been able to say that. we want a solution, a diplomatic solution. but the willingness to find a solution lies not in riyadh, not in abu dhabi, -- and certainly not in washington. it lies in doa -- doha. charlie: three years ago? so not because of the visit of president trump to react and the -- trump to riyadh and the arab summit? yousef: no. this is like a pot that has been sitting on the stove a very long time, twice it has boiled. once, three years ago it was resolved. these commitments were never lived up to. today it has gotten worse. we

qatar. they chose not to do that. what is going on there? it was very interesting. i have just read a statement from the united arab emirates, one oftar. bahrain and egypt are the others. —— two main neighbours. restraint was their policy, and he could not resist saying that qatar was good to miss the bus, almost in a flippant way. —— was going to miss the bus. they admitted today they may have been two hourly, because theyjust got the response from qatar. —— they may have been too early. other mediators, like the united states and britain, they are friends, if you like, they will try to urge both sides in this crisis to find a way forward , sides in this crisis to find a way forward, because they have common enemies, possible the threat posed by so—called islamic state. it is good to take a very long time. could it just good to take a very long time. could itjust simmerfor good to take a very long time. could itjust simmer for more years? a stalemate in which qatar does not given? qatar is one of the richest nations per capita, but there is a lot at stake. the foreign minister told us today they are shipping costs are told us toda

of the biggest businesses affected his qatar airways. oliver: a company doing very well. megan: a favorite of luxury travelers in particular. whether it is emiratesr qatar airways, they have clotted for out of nothing over the past two and three decades. moved into routes, competing on long-haul flights with some of the american carriers. there has been a big concerted effort by the american carriers, american, delta, united, to push back on that growth. saying they're basically getting unfair competitive advantages through their country's amends sovereign wealth. the american airlines would argue it props up the businesses. they are facing this much closer to home, having to redraw routes and skirt borders. oliver: big borders. megan: it will have a big effect on the business. oliver: is this something they view that they can wait out and resolve the sort of political hurdles that are there? and does not seem like it will be resolved anytime soon. megan: is a murky diplomatic incident. there are very different viewpoints, including between the president and his administration and people at the state department who say the so-called cause of this

of the emir. it was over the same set of issues. qatarmised to stop supporting groups and individuals giving us a hard time. thatorcefully, everything has been signed into the agreement has been violated for the past three years. the collective frustration with a highr countries are at level. sit down witho qatar tomorrow and negotiate the 13 demands. if the qataris are willing to negotiate, so far they haven't been able to say that. we want a solution, a diplomatic solution, but the willingness to find a solution lies not in riyadh, not in abu dhabi, -- charlie: this took place in what year? yousef: november 2014. charlie: three years ago? so not because of the visit of president trump to react and the arab summit? yousef: no. this is like a pot that has been sitting on the stove a very long it has boiled. once, three years ago and today it has actually gotten worse. we got to a point where we said we can't live like this anymore. you can't sit around the table with us and support the groups threatening to kill us and kill our children.

of america's allies in the region. last month, saudi arabia, egypt, bahrain, and the united arab emirates all severed ties with the country of qatar home of america's largest military presence in the region. but the gulf states and american intelligence say it is also active support of radical groups across the middle east. michael morell is a former deputy director of the c.i.a. >> what we've seen qatar do for last 10 to 15 years is support groups like the muslim brotherhood, hamas, taliban, islamist militias in syria, islamist militias in libya, exactly the opposite direction we think our region needs to go. so our disagreement is about what the future of the middle east should look like, and that's not something that we have been able to square with qatar for a long time. >> rose: what do they want the middle east to look like? >> i think they want more groups lieb the muslim brotherhood and hamas and the taliban. i don't think it's a coincidence that you have the hamas leadership, taliban embassy, the muslum brotherhood leadership, and groups going on jazeera promoting, encouraging and justifying suicide bombs. >> rose: what a

this all began when individuals of the united emirates decided to launch a cyber attack against a qatar news agency. during this attack, a fabricated statement was published. this fabricated statement was broadcasted in saudi and news outlets even after the rejection of the statement declaring it was false. it's crucial to note that qatar media was blocks in this country's hours before the cyber attack. ensuring people cannot access the truth. this carefully orchestrated cyber attack was used to justify their illegal and inhumane work against the people of qatar. why question i have been asked since the beginning of this crisis is why. why have they taken such measures to silence qatar. unfortunately, the countries have never revealed the true intentions behind these actions. they have never shared their supports and concerns with us nor given us a chance to address problems they may have. three weeks after forcing the unwanted blockade and after pressure with the united states they submitted the list of so-called demands. the 13 demands were not reasonable or actionable as the states h

of the day's other news. saudi arabia, the uae, bahrain and egypt have condemned qatar's response to their demands as negative and irresponsible. they broke all links with the gulf emiratecusing it of supporting terrorism. the four countries say qatar doesn't understand the gravity of the dispute. we cannot have a country like qatar thatis we cannot have a country like qatar that is an ally and in the arab league. and that posts at plans to fight al qaeda and daesh, and yet turns blind eyes to extremists who advocate suicide bombings and advocate suicide bombings and advocate young man going to war zones to fight. first of all, qatar has never and will never support any terrorist programmes. we will never allow terrorism funds to be raised in qatarorto be allow terrorism funds to be raised in qatar or to be channelled through qatar. we will take whatever measure we need to take to get rid of them. qatar's foreign minister there. also making news today, the myanmar government says it's trying to create more jobs, after a new labour law in neighbouring thailand caused an exodus of migrant workers. more than 60,000 foreign workers fled thailand, a common destination for wo

of many arab countries continue to do this. al jazeera represents the opposite. al jazeera is not the problem and qatar is not the problem. the united arab emiratesgypt have taken al jazeera as a proxy for qatar andatar as a proxy of the normal evolution of hundreds of millions of people who simply want to live with -- as dignified human beings with more freedom, more accountability, more friends around the region, and letting the full human capabilities of people to express themselves to build strong, decent, peaceful, just countries. this is really the problem we have. ra is not the issue, it is just a proxy. amy: i want to ask about this latest story in lebanon, two separate fires that tore through syrian refugee camps, killing a small child and injuring scores of people. can you tell us what happened there? >> there is over a million syrian refugees in lebanon that have come in over the last six years. most are scattered in haphazard or local communities that are considered unofficial camps. a lot are getting support from international agencies and the government is helping out by opening schools and doing other things, but it is a chaotic si

why a lot of people do not think that there is going to be incredibly successful it's been over one month since saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt issued a boycott of qatar it's been a tricky situation for qatar to approach considering this is the country's worst diplomatic crisis in decades and so far the gulf states are not willing to compromise on their long list of demands for doha sanctions were imposed on june fifth over allegations of terrorism financing and close ties to iran a known gulf state rival the terrorism part is one thing but the iran part is just as complicated saudi arabia has not been shy about its feeling toward iran with fears of its government trying to destabilize the kingdom especially in its eastern province the east is home to most of the country's oil production maintaining its position as the unofficial leader of opec but it's also home to the shiite minority and any inspiration from outside states like iran to cause a rift in the country could put a dent in oil and we know that saudi arabia and the rest of opec can't really afford that right now over the past year when west texas intermediate which serves as the global benc

of pressure from them. most countries would want to avoid that. now, saudi arabia, the united arab emirate money of the country have all said that if qatar does thiseasoning. that is an exemption that is allowed under the wto but it is seldom used. was the time brain on this what is the procedure? now they have opened up a 60 day period in which all of these countries have to sit down and come to some sort of discussion and at about 60 day period have expired then it becomes pa rt period have expired then it becomes part of the deep wto and what they decide. —— part of the wto are what they decide to adjudicate. i'm sure we will told that my. on friday, north korea test—fired another intercontinental ballistic missile. these pictures supposedly show it — and what's worried the country's neighbours is that these pictures were shot in hokkaido, japan. north korea claims that the entire us is now within its striking range. we can't be sure if that is true but inevitably it is a concern for donald trump. he was asked what he is in the do about it. we will handle north korea we will be able to. it will be handled. we handle everything, thank you very m

qatar's response to their demands as negative and irresponsible. they broke all links with the gulf emirate a month ago, accusing it of supporting terrorism. we cannot have a country like qatar thatis we cannot have a country like qatar that is an ally militarily and in the gcc and in the arab league and that hosts and of air base from which planes take off to fight isis and daesh, isis and al-qaeda, and at the same time turns a blind eye to terrified ncos who open kilmichael mike operate openly in qatar, who turns a blind eye to extremists who advocate suicide bombing and young men going to fight in war zones. we cannot have it both ways. first of all qatar has never and will never support any terrorist movement or will never allow terrorist funds to be raised from qatar. it will take whatever measure it takes in order to get rid of them. qatar is switching from the strategic direction countering terrorism and we are willing to commit more investing education in those bundle, vulnerable countries. police work is one of the toughest and most stressful of professions. so it's no surprise that many police officers retire early. that was cert

of tension. gulf news reporting these demands made by countries, arab emirates, qatar, they are going to issue furtherctions. yes, and already there has been an extension to this. this was meant to be agreed on sunday. there has been an extension, this is these countries criticising qatar for harbour —— countries criticising qatar for harbour — — harbouring countries criticising qatar for harbour —— harbouring terrorism. among the points they want qatar to come back on, they want them to close al jazeera newsagency come back on, they want them to close aljazeera newsagency and scale back relations between qatar and iran, so it will be crucial to see how qatar response to this. they wa nt see how qatar response to this. they want additional responses to come from the other arab nations. does all this uncertainty in the middle east and asia affect the markets? well, it affects the oil price. and gas is part of this. qatar is a significant producer of gas. in the uk we take quite a bit of qatar gas. gas is certainly within that — coil obviously as well. when you wake up to the headlines this morning, it
