treasury list for supporting al qaida one of them is of the harbor home i cannae which is the head of the salafi party is in riyadh and he was a member of hadi government to geneva one on of the world the governor of all job hasn't asked about his own united states or any rest for the terrorists and he's now living he's now in massive fighting. with this groves of side by side with the saudi backed forces so this show you that united kingdom actually is involved in directly in supporting al qaida well in fact we can't confirm any of that and in fairness to mainstream media like the associated press they also said that the saudis or alleged the saudis are cut deals with al qaeda i mean just very briefly you started out by talking about this blockade of the data port is that why marie be so important for the population of yemen i understand 90 percent of liquefied petroleum gas used for cooking and eating comes from is a very important actually the get it because all we will arguably hear about here is the backed by iran this is a proxy war iran is involved in yemen some people say that

backed forces so this show you that united kingdom actually is involved in directly in supporting al qaida well in fact we can confirm any of that and in fairness to mainstream media like this depressed they also said that the saudis or alleged saudis or cut deals with al qaeda i mean just very briefly you started out by talking about this blockade of the data port is that why mary be so important for the population of yemen and someone to present a liquefied petroleum gas used for cooking eating comes from murray is a very important actually that they get it because all we will arguably hear about here is backed by iran this is a proxy war iran is involved in yemen some people say that like the goal of head of the host is for the oil in market but i mean let's say they control the oil and gas of motive how can we out how can they hated. export that fuel and sell it i mean it is a blockade but their main goal is to liberate madded and their main goal is to defeat saudi arabia. in for i.d.m. and one of those devices saudi arabia. to attack them in their homeland and what they say about iran

liberate the new face of syria where the americans are and the northwest of syria whether it's an al qaida is and in recent days we've had senior military officials in america arguing that china no longer respects the status quo. and has instead opted to use military force to settle the issue the problem with that is other same american military officials have not corroborates it that claims with any substantial evidence whatsoever yes it is true that on china's sudden this the chinese government has increased its military forces but the question peter is why and i cite the simple. arguments action reaction because of the expansion of the american military in the south china sea combined of course we've britain increasing its military presence that overlay trick very aggressive posture infomercials in a lot of money plays written sending warships mistreats one night i'm sorry i don't understand what do you got is doing there. i believe that britain still considers itself so very influential player in that pos of the wells why because of the opium wars. and because of britain is something t

fortunately the kingdom of saudi arabia with its allies including the united states have cracked down on al qaida a.q. a.p. in yemen and they completely eradicated them unfortunately we are seeing some humanitarian assistance from the united nations and the king of sorry as the biggest contributor with more than $14000000000.00 in contributing to the unitary humanitarian crisis and yemen and we are seeing these things but wars are difficult you can always start a war easily but it's always hard to end them that's a fact of life and that happened to the united states in afghanistan it happened to the united states in iraq and indeed in so many different countries so what we are seeing here is that the kingdom right now is pushing for a political solution by any means they are trying their best with martin griffith the. boy to yemen because of the fact that the hieron is the one that calls the shots when it comes to its militias and the truth is included ok view is good what you coverage in yemen on a you journalism. thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday to speak about a fight

clearly in multiple reports since 2013 so the idea of having saudi arabia to be in any way linked to al qaida or isis is just ironic and nobody would buy this unless if if you can actually believe they raid and reggie. you see some might say that saudi arabia is falling into the trap of powers that it has sword alliances with in a kind of imperial stranglehold i mean this this film the dissident talks about how the fact that saudi arabia thinks of journalists the way that old kings in the desert thought of people who told them things in that they wanted to hear you must be very aware of orientalism and racism why the saudi arabia not realize that it should have a reproach more with iran and that a united muslim world would be much stronger than than the world where saudi arabia is now just accused of being an assassination state trust me said arabia has always has been always extending its arms to the iranians and iran as a neighbor nobody can deny that iran has a beautiful history it has contributed to humanity but the iranian regime itself unfortunately has sabotaged. a nation where speakin

many opposition groups that were only united against a common enemy and they share territory with al qaida linked groups which wanted to establish an islamic state. at the start foreign fighters were welcomed by the opposition which felt abandoned by world powers. that changed when they started to take territory from those they called corrupt rebels armed opposition groups linked to the free syrian army are no longer here i saw also imposed brutal tactics arresting killing and forcing into exile activists who called for democracy and the foreign fighters actually dug. him in it's like this they don't want our forces to be here. and also also it's. global attention focused on defeating eisel in what was described as a counterterrorism mission rather than an effort to tip the scales in the war. binged actually community over promised none of that when you have president obama when you british french and german. saying that's present last stand son it triggered an expectation that they were going to back this up so instead it was the regime which received outside support russia and iran's ent

he went to a church, a church that had been attacked decade ago by an al qaida affiliate and six suicidetwo priests. and pope francis went there and that means a great deal, not just about healing, but it means a great deal to the christian community in this country. christians have been leaving here in droves over the last several years, over the last several decades, in fact. and by coming here, under these difficult circumstances, on a trip many didn't want him to do, even in his own circle, he is sending a message to one of the oldest christian communities in the world that he's with them and they should stay. >> and such an important message it is. richard engel, thank you so much for that extraordinary report from iraq. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." remember, follow the show online, on facebook, and on twitter @mitchellreports. have a safe weekend. wear your masks. chuck todd is up next with"mtp daily", only on msnbc. daily", only on msnbc. the patented blend is clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels. boost glucose control products contain

and so for, you know, a relatively small investment, we prevent a resurgence of isis or al qaida or anye 9/11 attacks. and by the way, we also keep faith with our commitment to women and girls in afghanistan who came out and began to emerge in a very harsh society, largely because there were foreign elements there to say, it's okay. we're going to help defend a government that will, you know, resist this sort of taliban repression that they suffered for so many years, prior to 2001. now, you can understand why a president doesn't find that particularly palatable. a president who throws down his napkin and says, you aren't being straight with me. afghanistan has defied the president with in terms of his ability. the president thinks he ought to be manage world events and define the terms of his engagement and afghanistan defies them each and every time. there's simply no way that you can get from where they are today to the point where you would like to get them. the idea of an endless occupation there, even if there's a small number, feels so discouraging, i think. that's why biden said
