and tunisia has to have the support of algeria because without algeria, we cannot go further. in the same time, we balance the need to have support from international players or actors. and on this land, tunisia has a lot of partnerships with international actors. they have a partnership with europe in particular, tunisia is part of the so-called european security and differenefense pol also consider it as one of the most important countries in the region since with morocco, both are partners with europe. tunisia is taking part of the 5 plus 5 dialogue, which is also different, important because minister of defense makes and discusses informally, but it is very important for tunisia. tunisia has bilateral relations, strong relations with france, with france we have even a different agreement, but it's a very old defense agreement. we don't know if it's still on the table or not. and of course, last year was a very important partnership with also u.s. but the problem now in tunisia is that of course we are in democracy, like was said. but at least we have several political acto

security of support, its place within algeria and morocco but algeria is often founded with a influx of resources from both tunisia and libyan borders and has the military focus on border control as well. >> these support groups outside of its borders are obviously tied to islamic state and our kia, considering these organizations have a regional mandate as opposed to a localized mandate, operational, local militant groups have a greater fund. in conclusion, the problem is that while it is necessary for these countries to pursue an aggressive anti-terror campaign, the several shortcomings and concerns that would fuel tension in the future and some of them were mentioned earlier. for instance, the social economic demands of the population are often met with the views of repression instead of normal conflict resolution. the under estimate and morocco and social protests are basic examples of populations that are strained and have not seen an effective response from their political leaders. continuation of such tensions in the absence of a comprehensive political and economic strategy m

they were stopped in algeria. they were questioned by algeria. and then we referred to our neighbors, to the moroccan authorities, the situation, and we said we have doubts that these people are joining the terrorist groups, because the tickets were prepaid tickets paid in libya and one way. and i think the international rule for aviation, you have to have your round-trip ticket. and it appeared that these people were joining terrorist groups. so, when cooperation is needed, we are there, because our main target -- and i can go for one hour or more talking about what algeria does as far as bilateral and international cooperation is concerned. we suffered from terrorism and we were alone. everybody was keeping quiet, if not supporting indirectly terrorism. 9/11 arrived, and then the whole world woke up to the threat of terrorism. but before, there was something else that was internal affairs to algeria, but everybody knew that it was terrorism. but since it was not hurting others, everybody kept quiet. and why we are promoting this cooperation for

to algeria is quite low. official numbers right now coming out of algeria are around 500. the academic total, the academic is around 1100, with about 300 killed on the battlefield this year and are back and an additional 200 algerian fighters in libya. that's compared to 7000 algerians who fought in afghanistan. these are relatively speaking quite low. in fact, algeria is one of the few countries that has reversed course when it comes to the trend in foreign fighters. most of the time what you see is consecutive conflict at first, consecutive effort of same facilitation networks. the numbers get larger and larger and larger grid . in algeria the gotten smaller and smaller and smaller because of the national tragedy or the massive conflict that took place. that's not to say algeria has not had issues with islamic state recruitment. the security services have arrested and disrupted a number of recruitment cells. i was there in may and the just arrested somebody who is actively recruiting about 300 people on fac

you cannot fight it individually as morocco or as algeria or tunisia. tunisia needs algeria. morocco needs algeria. algeria needs morocco and so on and so forth. so i think that's lacking. we are not cooperating as far as security threats are going on. in terms of the prison, yes, we're trying to do something. the secretary-general of my administration just met two colleagues from tunisia and jordan. he was in tunisia last week. i hope we're working on something together in terms of security, we know we have problems and we have to solve those problems and i don't think we'll be able either algeria or itself, which has done excellent work in dealing with terrorism and a great experience. we may learn a lot from it. morocco has done excellent work also in fighting terrorism, especially in pre-emptive information. pre-emptive facing terrorism. terrorist attacks in the maghreb since 20101, they have multiplid by 47 times. and during all this period, only one attack in morocco. it was the attack in marakesh in level. the population leads a lot in dealing with terrorism, but as i

algeria, where i recently served as u.s. ambassador, has witnessed a dramatic improvement in its political, economic, and security situation since the 1990s. today algeria stands as a highly effective counterterrorism partner, able to deny terrorists safe haven within its borders and working to build the capacity of its more fragile neighbors. a measured butificive political in recent years has undergirded this transformation. morocco continues to distinguish itself as a capable security partner and regional leader, particularly with respect to countering violent extremism on the african continent. morocco is a net exporter of security. for example, in close cooperation with us, moroccan personnel have trained counterterrorism forces in senegal and chad, while morocco has lent powerful support to the g-5 to strengthen the regional response to terrorism. egypt remains an important strategic partner. its most pressing internal security challenge is the isis affiliate in northern sinai. let me pause to reiterate the u.s. govern

we have as many as 70% of those from algeria actually returning directly home.ther countries, about 80% return to specifically their home credit 22% so far is -- their home. 22% so far is not bad. but you have to say, maybe they did not return to home countries, but to the region. maybe they went to sinai, maybe they went to libya and if you broaden that out there is about 900 foreign fighters who fought in syria who've already return to libya. and about half of those are from north african countries, there is also a significant saudi population. so right now you are looking at about 2000 foreign fighters who have operational experience in syria and iraq who have already returned in north africa, in this five countries i mentioned. algeria,ically on generally speaking as i mentioned before, a foreign fighter returnee is quite low. official numbers right now coming out of algeria are around 500, the academic total, that is around 1100, with about 300 killed on the battlefields in iraq. an additional 200 fighters in libya. that is compared to 7000 algerians who fo

algeria. and tripoli.much has inspired in the 200 years the yoits now has positive rels relations with each government. something that was not always the case. government to government cooperation including military and intelligence issues is more extensive and more necessary than previously. but no thanks to the trump administration. which proposed cutting by lateral assistance to the region by 50%. including the elimination of other military financing for morocco and tu knee sha. congress is going to restore the funding. the danger of setting though low levels. sending that signal that we think it's okay. or the president and the united states thinks it's okay is already a problem. when you set new benchmarks in the president budget all too often that's what we benchmark against. so i cut your budget 100%. and congress is a hero we restore 50%. at the end of the day you have a 50% cut you didn't ask for and we don't need. political space for opposition. second point. i think another lesson learned is the

france president emmanuel macron is in algeria today. 1954 through the 1962 independence war in algeriain which hundreds of thousands of algerians were killed and tortured, has left the scars. his presidential trip is meant to turn the page on the colonial past, but the french president is not meant to apologize for his countries actions, as some are demanding. in a visit earlier this year, the candidate macron shocked many in france when he said france's more than a century of colonial rule was "a crime against humanity." time for our business update with brian quinn. you are going to start in ireland, where time is running out to figure out a solution for the border with northern ireland once the u.k. leaves europe. brian: we're just about a week away from a summit between the u.k. anti-e.u. that will decide whether brexit talks can move on to crucial negotiations over a trade relationship. the issue of a border between the republic of ireland, a member of the e.u., and northern ireland, a part of the u.k., is proving enormously difficult. neither side wants a hard border between them

proclaimed the first president of palestine the sentiment among people in mauritania tunisia and algeria is that there needs to be a unity among the muslim world to be able to push for a united stand to protect the rights of the palestinians we've seen thousands of people taken to the streets in tunisia algeria and mauritania and they say this is not something which is going to be able way in a matter of weeks or months they say that they are determined to push for the rights of the palestinians to have their own independent state with jerusalem as their capital thank you. live and robots. and pictures here of president now crown at the least a palace we were just talking to there a moment ago prime minister netanyahu has arrived quick photo up there on the steps of the palace they go into those meetings which as the time she was putting out were preplanned but have taken on a different meaning now since the decision by don't try to move the embassy to jerusalem of course israel's support for that. so let's talk to me now who is a commentator on middle east and palestinian affairs joinin

once the hub, the rough and tumble principle port for france's colonies such as tunisia, morocco and algeria city. there has been attempts to dissuade me from, "oh, marseille, you don't want to go there." and yet i come here. correct me if i'm wrong -- it is a beautiful city. it smells good. you smell the different pastries. the tajine, bouillabaisse and bourride. and it's an extraordinary-looking city and the people are really interesting-looking. >> cedric: i must say, you are in the center of the world because the world is in marseille. we are connected to the mediterranean sea so it's very different from the north of france. i feel closer to a guy from morocco than a guy from maybe germany or, etcetera. it's different. >> antny: cedric fabre is a marseillaicrime writer, who spent decades deciphering the dense layers of crime and corruption, pastiche, and sunshine. it's a perfect town for writers of noir. plenty of atmospherics and lurid history. why do you think it's such a fertile ground to set a crime novel? >> cedric: for me, it's more interesting because you write about the place you
