al jazeera represents the opposite. al jazeera is not the problem and qatar is not the problem.nited arab emirates and egypt 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 thing

as far al jazeera, you can speak to al jazeera. i don't speak for al jazeera and they can tell you about their coverage. as for the individuals that you are mentioning, i'm not sure that we have people who are in qatar wanted by the egyptian government. if you are mentioning individuals running away from unfair persecutions and seeking asylum, that is a different discussion we have to have. there are international laws and regulations. they govern these issues. that is what i would like to tell you. we will continue to support egypt and every arab country. >> thank you, ambassador, for coming to speak with us. i'm an intern at the council on foreign relations. i would like you have a question about the impact of the u.s. policy on the current qatar crisis. the saudi arabians did impose a blockade almost weeks after president trump to visit to the country. furthermore, after it was imposed president trump took to twitter and said saudi arabia said they would take a hard line on funding extremism and pointed to qatar. do you think th

this will also be broadcasted by al jazeera. thank you to bill mccarron, the ceo of the national press club for providing us with his live streaming services tonight. thank you, bill. our event tonight focuses on the state of qatar. its relationship with the united states, and the role it plays in the persian gulf region and the nation's activities, as a member of the gulf cooperation council. qatar has been ruled by the family since the mid-19th century. the flag of qatar contains nine serrated edges that separate the colored and the white portions. they signify qatar's inclusion as the ninth member of the reconciled emirates of the persian gulf at the conclusion of the qatari-british treaty in 1916. the colored portion of the flag known as the color maroon alsoaalso acknowledges the purple dye. the white, of course, symbolizes peace. originally known for being a back order british protectorate whose economy was based mainly on diving, qatar quickly made itself known to the world when it declared independence in 1971. in 1995,

because saudi arabia and its gulf allies are accusing al jazeera giving a platform to terrorists.rejected the list of demands on july 1. riyadh said they were extending the ultimatum for 40 hours. you can see on this front page, a paper based in london, but it's very much pro-cqatar. they say it's not working because they have a strong economy and in particular a strong financial sector. if you want to know more about why al jazeera bothers saudi arabia and other nations, you can see this interesting article in the french catholic paper. it points out al jazeera is somewhat of a shield for qutar, and one of the first, to give voice to political opponents particularly during arab spring. this is russell trailers -- this has ruffled feathers and saudi arabia. >> the french president give a speech to both houses of parliament at the same time. cron. outlined his battle plan for five years >> papers said it was a long speech. if you look at the front page, they talk about how it was a long speech that was also very vague. they are talking about a twist on an expression in france, esse

what you see is al jazeera's mission. what do you think that saudi --bia and egypt and train bahrain five threatening about al jazeera? that whatcan tell you we have decided to have is to promote free media and free press. that is what we have embarked on since 1996. they don't look at the issues we are having in local media. there are programs that also ofe a great freedom maneuvering and expression. that is where we stand on the issue of free media and expression of speech. what i think they are afraid of being criticized. is tok what they want have the truth come out. like ap't want stories regarding torture in yemen. >> i think i'm going to have to challenge you a little bit on press freedom. freedom house every year takes a look at the countries around the qatarand has given mediocre-to-low marks on press freedom. there was some legislation that was proposed and has been through many councils that would broaden press freedom. some of the issues include outplaying criticism of the ruling family. of the government. of

we abolished censorship and created al jazeera as a platform for free media and free speech. it is when we introduce social and political reform. it is quickly empowered women, it is when we decided for policy should focus on mediation rather than confrontation as a solution to challenges facing our region. as mark twain has said, there are few things harder to put up with that the annoyance of a good example. it is worth highlighting the transformation were effective as -- it is worth highlighting the transformation in qatar was confusing to certain government. cannot understand why a country with a similar social background, qatar, with lincoln drive but in saudi she cannot -- women can drive, but in saudi she cannot. so aside from the shortcomings they have accused us of terrorism. these unsubstantiated actions are just a smokescreen created to infringe upon the sovereignty and independence. our international partners know that qatar is relentless in its fight against terrorism. we will be a steadfast partner to the united states in combating this problem in the fight agai

aren't they weren't happy with al-jazeera. speaking up against and there's a lot of conflicts there but definitely not i mean all things are for terrorism point toward saudi arabia if you kind of look at it if you if you look at nine eleven fifteen out of nineteen hijackers mostly saudi citizens if you look at this funding the propagation and everything all terrorism the key leaks everything point to were saudi arabian links and so that saudi money is most definitely involved in the propagation of terrorism. where you know you know it's interesting you know in the brain she lays it out so beautifully there are about the kind of fingers at least sections of the kingdom either their fingers in terrorism around the world but it's also interesting to recall that you know when the crisis began the mainstream media and a few in d.c. were quick to you know kind of put all the blame russia's door in the fake news and manipulating that and she was mentioning you know push back against al jazeera you know it's fascinating sean to see th

al jazeera do its job as a journalistic organization. american people need to think of it this way, what if a canadian broadcasting company was trying to incite individuals to conduct attacks in the united states? the united states would get upset about that and have a conversation with the canadian government about that. that is what is happening here. yousef: they are not mutually exclusive. you can support freedom of the press and be against incitement at the same time. this is not a private channel. they have clerics on a weekly show that promote condone, and , justify suicide bombing. you had a problem with that when you had soldiers in iraq. but it still continues. charlie: there is a big american base in qatar, which is used as a launching pad for our activities in syria and elsewhere, yes? qatarismple of how the say they are friends with everybody. that is what they say. that is what the prime minister said when he was here, we are not engaged in terrorist activities. they're are suggesting that hamas is supported by other people

was that saudi arabia was an early proponent very much an advocate of al-jazeera benefactor for them and because qatar has basically fallen out of favor they split on syria you know presumably toppers prefers. the saudis prefer isis i mean it's these kind of these levels of corals but there's also an oil factor because qatar is working with the iranians on exploiting more natural gas from its border region with iran and so saudi arabia obviously is by fighting with iran and yeah met in in the region on the whole so qatar is basically now looked at as an enemy to the saudis and the judges here as one of the one of the issues that's coming up but there are a lot on the table. you can't talk about saudi arabia it's a day without talking about what's going on in yemen in the in the war that they're waging there and you asked her about yemen let's let's hear what she had to say. kind of the bombing that is happening it is completely being missed by. more than three million people killed around our employments there is a child dying every minute. couple of minutes it is said that there are

those nations led by sunny river and have a ties series of demands including shutting down the al jazeera network. the newsump attacking media showing him hitting a man with a cnn logo for a face. up, and business a landmark interdigital -- energy deal being signed in i run -- iran. first, top stories macron said to make a speech to parliament today. mps are criticizing that speech later today. you can see live pictures of the presidentting for macron to arrive. billed as aeing state of the nation style speech, emmanuel macron will lay out the objectives for his five-year presidency, but there will be absentees. macron is accused of taking an authoritarian approach and of overshadowing -- onet is used as an serves purpose. it macron is saying i'm a boss. he wants to crush his prime minister. say helitical analysts is redefining the distinctions between the president and the prime minister. -- the president of the republic and prime minister have two different jobs in the acted --s both have has acted more like a prime minister than a president. >> he says he wants to make the in annual ev

what al jazeera do its job as a journalistic organization. the american people need to think about it this way. what if the canadian broadcasting company was trying to incite individuals to conduct attacks on the united states. the united states would get pretty upset about that. the united states would have a conversation with the canadian government about that, that is what is happening here. >> and its' one thing-- they're not mutually exclusive. you can support freedom of the press and be against incitement at the same time. al jazeera is owned by the government of quatd ar, this is not a private channel. second they have clerics that go on a weekly show that promote, condone and justify suicide bombings. and you guys in the u.s. had a problem with that when you had soldiers in iraq. you had an issue with this. but it still continues. >> rose: one point we haven't touched on is there is a big american base in qatar which is used as a kind of launching pad for our activities in syria and elsewhere. >> yes. >> yes. >> rose: and that example

in america you see freedom of the press, let al jazeera do its job as a journalistic organization. american people need to think of it this way, what if a canadian broadcasting company was trying to incite individuals to conduct attacks in the united hates. the united states would get upset about that and have a conversation with the canadian government about that. that is what is happening here. yousef: they are not mutually exclusive here to can support freedom of the press and the against incitement at the same time here at this is not a private channel geared they have clerics on a weekly show that remote, condone, and justified suicide bombing. and the u.s. had a problem when buthad soldiers in iraq, it still continues. americanthere is a big base there. it is used as a launching pad for activities and elsewhere, yes? yousef: yes. charlie: and their example is they are friends with everybody, that is what they say. that is what the prime minister said when he was here, we are not engaged in terrorist activities. they suggest that hamas is supported by people other than them, r

shutting down al jazeera it is something the qataris could not possibly do.zeera is a source of the country's influence not just in the region but around the world. victimsompensation to of things, the qataris -- to whom? what is the evidence the other countries bring to the table to end its ties with iran? it turns out these other countries also have outside ties to iran. for all the business the qataris have done the iranians -- with the iranians with whom they share one of the largest domes of gas, dubai banks are also doing lots of business with the iranians. that is not to defend the qataris. that is just to point out that some of the demands from the qatari perspective are nonnegotiable and ripe with hypocrisy. >> can you talk about the gcc? you mentioned iran as it relates to originally iran, iraq, and the war, and how that has developed in the gulf. >> the gcc was founded in the 1980's at the behest of the united states in the aftermath of the iranian revolution. this was a way in which the united states could coordinate security in the region. most o

there is quite a process to go through if al jazeera was going to be removed from the country. it isn't like egypt or saudi arabia where a decree comes down and the network is kicked out. is there are legal proceedings. they would go to the high court likely. also, al jazeera employees what from what we're hearing up to 100 israelis and their labor laws that would be affected by this as well. so it's not something that can be easily done if this were to go forward, it would likely take some time before the network would be kicked out. so again, not like egypt. not like saudi arabia where they're gone one days. this could be a long-term thing, max. >> okay, ian lee, thanks for the updates. we're going to turn now to the korean peninsula with both sides of the 38th parallel marking the armistice that halted the korean war 64 years ago now. north koreans celebrate the occasion as victory day and put on a large display of military might. a short time ago south korea said its offer for military talks remains in effect, even if the north does not respond by the end of thursday. there

with the exception of al jazeera's treatment of qatar itself, pretty much everything else in the regionif they see something else in the region to criticize, they can. have seen the muslim brotherhood as the future of the region. even though they are a monarchy, they think long-term the monarchies are not going to work. the future will be more democratic, more religious and national. they have made that bet. the saudi's have not. trump has come in and said the right want tohe make. so qatar is on the wrong side of this. as you know, they now have a serious relationship, not just with iran doing much better, but gan's turkey, who has sent troops into qatar to support them. when i was with richard haass earlier today, we were talking about turkey. he said they are a member of nato, but they are not a partner of the united states in nato right now anymore. charlie: how is trump getting a wrong with -- along with chancellor merkel? ian: i think of the traditional american allies, the merkel relationship is by far the most challenged. the is because merkel is macron, he'sve transactional. he

we need to differentiate between al jazeera english and arabic. talking about arabic.u insisting it be closed down? we say it effectively should be closed down as an editorial that says, hate the west, hate the shia, hate the outsider, the christian, thejew. the west, hate the shia, hate the outsider, the christian, the jewm is an extraordinary territorial list form of free speech, it was as if china ordered britain to close down the bbc. i don't think there is a narrative between the two. this is a request to stop poisoning people with an extremist narrative. henry jackson... one of the things about aljazeera is that they are incredibly effective. somebody said to me, there are whole of channels that have the same narrative. the problem is that aljazeera is so effective and appealing that it pulls a fall in. essentially, they are extremely effective. it should still close? it should change to the extent that it cannot be recognised as aljazeera today, aljazeera arabic. aljazeera english is in this because those journalists who do not understand the arabic language, th

one of the demands, basically qatar shut down al jazeera?ed to in the first agreement, not named as antagonistic media. the leader of other gulf countries, based in qatar, accuse it of sort of drumming up support for opposition groups, for instance in bahrain and at worse drumming up support for terrorist groups. what they accuse them of. and one of their demands, shut that station down. a host of issue, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, so on. these gulf nations accuse that station backed by the qatar government's in effect supporting these opposition groups. >> vocal in that condemnation about al jazeera, gulf nations, saudis, bahrainis and egyptians as well are very angry at al-jazeera. >> and rex tillerson is in the region hoping to bring them were back together. the u.s. has close relationships with all of them. >> and heard words from rex tillerson a week ago and the president, quickly condemning the qataris and the secretary of state wants to mediate and come up with a solution. >> exactly. as often happens, president's twe

if you don't have broadband for television, for internet access, you can't watch al jazeera on basic cable on the u.s. right now we're only online. if you don't have broad band you're not going to see this beautiful hd video and all the luscious graphics and photographer that all my colleagues carry out. if you have regular dial-up you'll never get the signal. you'll never be able to access what diana and her colleagues are doing on the website. all the added extra material, the conversations, the extra content, animation if you put it on, because dial-up can't accommodate it. and there are so many parts in this country that are rural, that are in the back country that don't have broadband access. the irony is that cable was invented for people who live outside of big cities. if you can't access the work that people are doing, you just won't know. it's not a question of whether or not you're interested. you can't even get the basic information. and that's the problem. >> it's a tough question, because you look at google's internet searches, right, and you look at what americans are s

the demands are due to closing off ties with iran and hosing down al-jazeera. we discussed the crisis in detail and i want to reiterate that when in there is one side leveling accusations against another, that side cannot say, yes, i accept everything you say. >> qatar is fighting hard to keep its crown -- despite diplomatic isolation. qatar is expected to keep the title for at least seven years after the energy company said it would raise output by 7%. that reinforces qatar as being a major global supplier. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am rosalind chin. this is bloomberg. let's get a flavor of the markets. japan on its lunch break. >> not much in the way of direction. we have seen quite a few fluctuations when it comes equity session so far today. take a look at chinese stocks, up 0.4%. china life contribute in the most to that. this, even as short interest has jumped to a record. the hang seng has reversed its earlier losses, up about 0.3%. the auto leading gainers in that market.

how do you cope with the al jazeera television channel which qatar says it will not shut down‘s you couldd that has been discussed. what about the bigger question is? what kind of foreign policy does qatar want? an independent foreign policy, they think it is an attack on their sovereignty. this is an existential crisis. it will not be resolved easily. saudi arabia and their allies refrained from slumping further sanctions on 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 of the two mean neighbours of qatar. 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 forwa

the closing down of al jazeera. they are list of 13 demands. the closing down of aljazeera.e saying, take a hike. rex tillerson says, we have to make a breakthrough. it's been going on for several weeks. the defence secretary has come out in support of qatar which houses us troops. the us policy sees the president saying something, and his cabinet saying something different. what is the role of liquefied natural gas? it is the world's biggest exporter. america wants to raise its exports to china. if you do stabilise qatar... i'm sure there are other considerations. those 13 demands. , he says those demands are not a dead duck but they have to start again because the package is not viable. they might cherry pick and make a breakthrough. this takes us on and make a breakthrough. this takes us on to the next story. aramco. it is the move into liquefied natural gas. that is a very significant element of the story. we have the chief executive of aramco says the outlook for oil supplies is worrying. actually, the move to renewables and alternative forms will take a lot longer and

region including sending advanced weaponry and financing to ask dream as in syria and libya and al-jazeera has given a clarion call to americans and israelis. these realities are troubling. qatar is a close partner in the fight against terrorism in the region. doha hosts and helps fund the largest u.s. military facility in the middle east essentially our forward operating base. it is from this space that we supported the wars in iraq and afghanistan and airstrikes against isis. qatar has served as mediator oftentimes to the benefit of united states per qatar has helped broker a cease-fire between hamas and israel during periods of intense fighting but qatar is helped secure an american hostage held for two years by the icao the link nusra after the tragic beheading of a u.s. journalist. it has begin taking steps to hold qatar accountable for terror finance that they have got more to do. while they began prosecuting terror groups they have done so in secret hardly an effective deterrent and it's unclear whether the outcomes of these prosecutions have led to any significant jail time or pena

supporting the brotherhood and they were going to be more cautious and temp rat what they used al jazeera for and crack down on terrorist funding and all the rest. and the contents of that secret deal were made public and the saudis and emirateis said yep, that say correct thing, which means they probably leaked it. so clearly these countries have had serious problems with qatar. >> rose: why does qatar do it? i mean i tell you why i think they do it, because they want to play above their weight. >> that. >> rose: and they also do it because they have got a lot of money. >> they have resented for a very long time. >> rose: we're the junior part here. >> partner in the region, that's right. >> rose: they take us for granted. >> and that has been the case for a long time am and they do feel like balancing and hedging between the iranians and others is the way to go. >> rose: its gulf countries the gcc also feel like al jazeera has been on one hand stirring up things against their own autocratic power. >> correct, with the exception of al jazeera's treatment of qatar itself, right, pretty mu

i doubt that qatar is shooting down al jazeera. qatar cannot afford to break its ties with iran.ield with them. -- they share a very logical oil field with them. these are designed to put additional pressure on qatar. there may be discussion on moderating some of the content of al jazeera or moderating some of the connections between qatar and iran. that becomes a basis for discussion. >> since the isolation of qatar that becomes a basis for discussion. >> since the isolation of qatar began, there has been a lot of pieces saying that we could see non-state actors strengthening their presence. the fact that if there was any willingness to continue negotiations with iran, it would have been more beneficial to have a neutral actor mediating in between. how well thought out you think this strategy to isolate qatar is? >> i think it reflects a lot of frustration on the part of saudi arabia and the uae toward qatar. how well thought out it was, i think that is a very good question given that a short while after president trump was tweeting his support for qatar's isolation, his secreta

among the points they want qatar to come back on, they want them to close al jazeera newsagency comeclose 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 makes you want to go back to bed —— oil. especially at 3am. it isn't saved out there. arab news talking about that meeting, massive story in the least with huge ramifications and focusing on turkey as well. that's just as march nearing the finish line. there is always discontent in just about every country. this is significant, isn't it? the discontent in turkey has been rising and falling for the last few years. many would say sup

sort of the the al-jazeera establishment and qatar which is reality is a state run. t.v. station it was from first deal one was. like inciting violence and hatred among the states and things that each the peak in two thousand and fourteen and saudi arabia and other gulf states pulled out their ambassadors and the protest and they only we only sent back the ambassadors after qatar gave way and they decided that they yes they were lucky not. to get violence but things again came to a head to do it in the do it in the arab spring and from day one from about from the arab spring qatar was actually hand in hand with the muslim brotherhood and there was a public relation voice for the for the for the people who are actually wanted to. cover kind and the gulf states especially in and bahrain and kuwait so again this is something continued and it continued from the time when attacks happened or so daily been two thousand and two thousand and three al jazeera became a truly v.v. public relation to speak out for the for these terrorists and qatar continue to host many many. of the
