the united states pushes forward its ambitious project of a pan arab alliance against iran but there are deep divisions brought on by the gulf crisis so can washington's desire to rope in israel along with the arab states against a common enemy actually succeed and what does it mean for president trump's middle east peace plan this is inside stuart. welcome to the program today with me peter w. washington has begun putting together a plan to forge and iran alliance with the arab countries now the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei has met foreign ministers of the gulf cooperation council states and egypt and jordan they discuss the perceived threats posed by iran to peace and stability across the middle east however the g.c.c. is of course a house divided once the blockade imposed on doha by some of its neighbors lifted before the u.s. security plan can be considered credible husham. discussion today from new york. a gathering of gold fry vel's. this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since th

they lead them to join our alliance. down,the berlin wall came former warsaw countries all join nato. joincountries aspire to and many have already followed. spreads helped to democratic values, free enterprise, and stability to millions of people in europe. represent a historic geopolitical shift. it has benefited the united states. in the world at large. third, the third reason why nato is important for the united states, nato allies boost america's military power. nearly 2 million service personnel on active duty. and cutting-edge capabilities. france and the united kingdom contribute 30% of nato's nuclear s.llistic missile capableies maintain aircraft for nuclear delivery. for the mark, america's allies have thousands of intelligence personnel. many of them working in close connection with the u.s. counterparts. giving the united states better eyes and ears than you would otherwise have. from tracking submarines in the arctic to identifying terrorists that seek to harm us. allies in europe hold 28 american operating

and therefore with that defensive alliance. we all agree and that nato summit in july and then germany has started to increase defense spending. but it is significant and just to be helpful to mobilize the armed forces. and i welcome that and the german economy is so big. and with the total defense spending. so not so much with defense spending the three-quarter contributions and capabilities and germany is contributing for instance and they are responsible and with that league of nations and inco civil but also those groups. so the short answer is yes germany should do more but it does agree about the defense. so what about the protest possible? >> we have a great thing with the georgian president in brussels. with the importance of strengthening the partnership between nato and georgia. and nato strongly supports the integrity of georgia. of course we don't in any way recognize the presence of the russian forces. that georgia, we help them with implementing reforms and political support and practical support to establish a tr

japan alliance." her current focus is on how geostrategic change in asia is shaping japan's strategic choices. she serves as vice chair of the u.s. advisers to the u.s. japan conference on culture and educational exchange. a special twereat, a special research fellow with an independent research organization and also an adjunct fellow with the japan chair and a senior research fellow at the rebuild japan initiative foundation. he previously served as a senior fellow and director of foreign security policy at the tokyo foundation and the mitsui global institute studies in tokyo so it's a blue ribbon panel we have and we've have nabe go first because many folks in tokyo have not, at least outside of the japan watchers crowd may not have heard him so he'll give us the view from tokyo on many issues and others will be commentators and panelists presenting their own views. nabe-san? >> thank you, bruce. approaeciate the introduction. one correction, i don't have a title for the japan initiative for japan r

that is where i think it is important for the alliance, whether it is this alliance or nato, we are seeingsndication of strategic competition and yet we are undercutting or reassessing the value of our alliances. i think that is where people like us get worried. i do not get worried about the assessment of the american people. i do worry that we will do it in a way that suggests that we don't care about the strategic competition in the asia- pacific. that to me is a mistake and is also deeply worrying to our allies in japan. japan does not have other alternatives. that is not a pressure point we should be pushing on. it is a recognition of the consequences of getting this wrong for japan. i wanted to pull in the exit went --: the excellent points made here. but i think we have a critical moment for making sure we do not neglect, that we don't underestimate the fundamental importance of this relationship, in both respects. >> three great presentations. before i throw it to the floor and open it to questions, let me paint an admittedly dark picture. i may be just grumpy and jetlagged. i risk

the concentric patrick ism alliance is headed by seventy five year old child. originally from mainland china chow hopes of both hong kong and taiwanese identity cards. in this video he's in central taiwan marking the anniversary of the founding of the chinese communist party. but channel was not always a believer. in one nine hundred eighty four he wrote a letter to that then british prime minister margaret thatcher objecting to hong kong being handed back to china his letter began it is known to all that communist rule is characterized by suppression that leads only to bloodshed deprivation and diet poverty. clearly chow has since had a change of heart but are chinese authorities funding his political activities. here's what chang so yeah co-founder and manager of the concentric patriotism alliance has to say not only. here as. i understand it. and. everything. written to. them. in one. week nine hundred. at the offices of the taiwanese government spokesperson last year tucker says more can be done to regulate all political groups one may stand as a xian towar

an alliance led by shia cleric joins hands with other groups to form a majority bloc in iraq's parliament. i'm adrian brown in beijing where a major summit is underway to discuss china's deepening economic engagement with africa but this is a relationship about more than just trade find out why here on al-jazeera and in sport will be in indonesia's capital to casa where the eighteenth asian games have come to a close. a state of emergency has been declared by the un backed government in libya after five days of fighting in the capital at least forty one people have been killed in the violence and more than one hundred others injured several armed groups are battling for territory tripoli's only functioning airport on the outskirts of the city forces backed by the government of national accord have lost several strategic locations to a breakaway faction around four hundred inmates escaped from a prison as fighting raged nearby the united nations is calling on all sides to abide by a previously agreed cease fire deal well many of the casualties have been civilians hit by shelling out as her

that alliance and the creation of that ice with. it by ignoring. the g.c.c. enough that we don't think that even if it's will be initiated it will be initiated effectively and this is what we have been calling for we say that we are not asking for. for any additional things there is a serious challenge among states and we need to. address this challenge and in order also to prove the credibility of. of this alliance and we believe there is there isn't a question it's often here that. since we have failed for one year and a half to come together and united states has succeeded now for the third time as first when they gathered us militarily and second. in the context terrorism financing and the third time as foreign minister since the other half now we believe this isn't a question it did to meit's when you know. we might come up with a plan that we put their resolution and then for this a blockade. but i want to devise to our friends in the united states that this is cannot we want to be sustainable if we are not going to put this forward. regarding your ques

and of course who have the military alliance especially the sham the biggest military alliance and the main force in this in this alliance is the former group known as al nasra front these groups are supposed to be leaving the demilitarized zone as part of the deal we're hearing the turkish president say that they have begun to withdraw we still have not heard from the sham in fact a few days ago they said that they will be making their final decision. in the coming days whether or not they are going to comply we've have heard from the smaller groups like the d.n.a. and. they're saying that we are not going to comply this is an agreement this is a conspiracy rebel group should unite and launch attacks against the government instead but in their statements they also leave room to maneuver and they actually say that we're going to leave it up to our scholars to decide but turkey really is confident that they will be able to implement this deal on the ground that we heard from the turkish presidential spokesman just a few days ago saying that no obstacle is going to stand in our way turke

the alliance never really came into existence. but to. accept. the tumult how i city they proceed to. the next year now the dawn of a crazy kitty from the multiple new. may. you. see. when the time came to seal alstom surveyed government representatives met at the elisei palace. most of the actors present agreed to put conditions on the sale emanuel mccrone then assistant secretary of the elisei is unconditionally campaigning for general electric his argument is we are not in a position to intervene legitimately this is not a controlled economy this is not venezuela the next day francois hollande welcomes the final agreement. to a new. force. if yo. niggas just. to. do it soon not only do. the mo. a. bunch also many two months later emanuel mccrum replaced arnold want to book at the ministry of economy and in charge of the alstom case the partial nationalisation driven by a want to berg vanishes with him now seems free to sell its home energy business. what might the consequences of that purchase be for fifty years france has invested in nuclear

alliance. danielle steel they're already pulling out and they're going to replace it and i could be that we could get russia and china russia and i they're going to replace it is this really all when we look at how the european leaders are reacting to trump because i would agree with you but really at the center of this i guess is the paris climate accord and importantly the iran deal is they see the united states is not a partner that they can trust because they can the u.s. can change its mind it can pull a lot of internationally agreed treaties and agreements i agree with. you know basically the respond point but i agree that you will do anything serious to cope with i mean the european commission has just mocked eighteen million goalposts. in support over a unicorn and this is a new we are mending like you need to meet here now in a lot of small private enterprises huge amount of money right. so i don't expect it to be to be a significance all of the nordstrom to our kind of little disagree

how did himself come to talk about alliance in twenty fourteen. just today. if you don't know how to judge this early. early trick. on. the former minister had forgotten that the person in charge of that agreement was himself. fair. daunte was going up to both to see who did i see. that. bought it. no more to bargain sists however that the agreement reached did provide real leeway it could be. me. who leaves the. law may even potty on every measure. that my proposal. succeeded in obtaining two prerogatives the partial nationalisation of would first of all from twenty eighteen on would allow the state to block the total sale of energy related activities then concerning nuclear activities the state maintained its sovereignty through a right of veto but france has never used either of these two shields today. no longer mentions energy sector activity and general electric's makes no reference to the joint ventures. was taken off factory buildings and replaced by general electric signs the alliance never really came into existence. to. do. the next year now dawn.

was it a total or partial american victory was the alliance with the french the internet. or reality. when you. come to speak to it. on film is. going to go. it is. fine i'm one of these sort of back to the twenty first of june twenty fourth team are no man to book terms the sale of l. storm into an alliance three joint ventures a created run equally by general electric and alstom the first and networks the second in renewable energy and the third in nuclear power it appeared to be an equal partnership between france and the united states. going to take. on an oil. place a. she moans of again you. divorce she said every year good. news some ask simple you show it successes yet make jeep who volunteered. no more. to come up with us on the. he did it. on his own and. five months later on november the fourth emmanuel mccrone concluded the sale the final agreement turns out a quite different joint venture companies are no longer equally shared with us the deal covering nuclear is controlled more than eighty percent by general electric. this comes with an option for alstom to s

nato and alliance can do so, the headquarters, we have center of intelligence on issues but, of course, all the member states have a particular responsibility to respond, to be aware and -- and to see the dangers of russia trying to meddle in domestic political processes. i also strongly believe that free and independent media is extremely important in responding to any attempt to spread disinformation and propaganda. so free-independent media that is able to -- it's a difficult question but to be critical, check their sources, it's also extremely important to establish resilience against any outside attempt to meddle in our political process. >> hi, amanda macias, i cover the pentagon for cnbc, turkey with desire to buy russia missile system and also f35, can you talk about those two-big-ticket items and how they conflict with each other? >> it is a challenge, it's well known that there's disagreement with turkey and especially the united states on this issue. decisions on acquisition of the military capabilities is a national decision but what is important for nato is, of course , di

the alliance was a result of an election that brought president is sixty's needed to his party to power and i came second in the polls since a twenty eleven uprising which started what became known as the arab spring tunis you had had nine cabinets all faced economic problems which included high inflation and unemployment the coalition had been regarded as the arab spring only democratic success avoiding the upheaval theme in egypt libya syria and elsewhere the islamic and the party and secular new debt tunis which was formed in twenty fourteen had promised a constitution granting far reaching political rights limiting the role of religion and holding free elections but the current political fallout which started when president is tipsy called for prime minister yousuf shahid to step down as the government struggle to revive the economy has brought fears that to newseum may be slipping away from the democratic reforms that came from the twenty eleven protests . listen to the president doesn't have a solution all he can do is try to control this disaster and he can try to taint use of sh

here to request you authorize the department to accept this grant from the parks alliance, $150,000, to support the departments edwin lee scholarship program. funds were raised at the annual crab fest on february 22nd year, and key part of the mission, enriching recreational activities to all san franciscan's regardless of ability to pay. special meaning as we remember the passing of mayor lee. the crab feed was dedicated to his memory and at the event, general manager announced we would name the department's program in mayor lee's honor. funds are an important part of the overall scholarship program that ensures all in san francisco can get out and play. last fiscal year, the department awarded more than 9,000 scholarships valued at $1.2 million. especially important for the youth programs to pursue passion in sports, dancing and arts classes, and safe place to be during out of school hours. and some of the the department's after school programs, nearly all the children are able to be there, they pay nothing or a fraction of the regular cost. scholarships covering 50 to 100% of recr

the biggest military alliance and the main force in this in the south is the former group known as al nasra front these groups are supposed to be leaving the demilitarized zone as part of the deal we're hearing the turkish president say that they have begun to withdraw we still have not heard from the sham in fact a few days ago they said that they will be making their final decision. in the coming days whether or not they are going to comply we have heard from the smaller groups like the d.n.a. and. they're saying that we are not going to comply this is an agreement this is a conspiracy rebel group should unite and launch attacks against the government instead but in their statements they also leave room to maneuver and they actually say that we're going to leave it up to our scholars to decide but turkey really is confident that they will be able to implement this deal on the ground that we heard from the turkish presidential spokesman just a few days ago saying that no obstacle is going to stand in our way turkey has been using two methods really first dialogue persuasion telling t

alliance which includes many pro it reigning in former paramilitary fighters they secured forty eight seats in the election but count that but can't the chemicals pardon me all seventy two votes through an alliance with the former prime minister nuri al maliki the two blocs will control more than two thirds of the three hundred twenty nine seats in parliament not a house for me is director of the middle east studies at the university of denver he says the stakes are high with the new alliance but iraq has a lot to be positive about. this is a coalition government that is the most inclusive and i would say representative iraqi government since the two thousand and three american invasion it includes both iraqi shia sunni and members of their various religious minorities and once positive about that development is it marks a transition from previous iraqi governments that were very sectarian based most of the key players have a nationalist political agenda that is geared toward developing iraq for all iraqi citizens not catering to the at ethnic or sectarian.

yesterday's alliances may not be tomorrow's alliances. as i was saying, today's world needs a strong, united urope. a europe working for peace, trade agreements, stable monetary arrangements, even if others elsewhere are all too inclined to resort to commercial or monetary warfare. -- with no regard for others' interests. i remain a convinced ultinational list. if europe realizes its political power, its economic power, and sometimes the military power of its component nations, we will no longer have to be the global player alone. though we are still willing to pay, but we have to be global layers, too. that's why, despite strong resistance at the time, as of 2014, i relaunched the european defense league. that is why in the coming months, the commission will continue its work on the uropean defense fund, starting cooperation and defense to make them fully operational. i should add a point which i think is important, and its context. we will not be militarizing the european union. what we are seeking is great responsibility and independen

born from spying arrangements for during world war two the five eyes alliance facilitates the sharing of signals intelligence among the u.s. the u.k. australia canada and you zealand and i'm sure that this spying alliance is taking all necessary precautions to strike a balance between information gathering and privacy rights. we remain in the dark about the current legal framework governing intelligence sharing among the five eyes including the types of information that the us government accesses and the rules that govern u.s. intelligence agencies access to and dissemination of americans private communications and data democrats the five i spy network uses each nation's strategic location and diplomatic power as choke points to gather the rest of the world's communication and now with encryption methods becoming ever more sophisticated plus regular people using them more and more because we don't want to be spied on five eyes needs to secure the cooperation of tech companies for access either voluntarily or otherwise and it looks like it's going to be otherwise because ministers repr

mary's fattah alliance which includes many pro a rainy and former paramilitary fighters they secured forty eight seats in the election but they can count on seventy two votes because of an alliance with former prime minister nouri al maliki these two books will control more than two thirds of the three hundred and twenty nine seats in parliament. as the director of the house of iraq iraqi expertise foundation think tank he's also a former advisor to the speaker of the of iraqi parliament and he joins us now live from istanbul us watching these proceedings pretty closely and with much interest we've seen this leading coalition. and the body is a good one. well and until now there is no clear vision about who will which which is the biggest block that it will make the iraqi government because everyone is saying that i have the majority i have rethink i can't talk to the kurds i can't i have the sunni inside and all of these things but the most important thing the most important thing is that until now we didn't manage to have a real candidate or let's say only one could debate or the p

bankroller of filling institutions so that that is not the at all a surprise when it comes to the alliance remember as well that you mentioned the kind of arab nato and think a lot of the commentators are not looking at that so it is not fully against all alliances and what he said about the original nato it's clear that the u.s. cannot bear all the financial weight and that the other countries have to decide if they want to be part of an alliance they need to up their defense budget so all this. comes in the light of of the speech of yesterday. which shouldn't be a big surprise for the allies but i don't think america will end up alone in this case interesting and you brought up funding we're going to talk more about the funding issue a little bit later in the program for now for it is going to bring you in and start to get in on some of the specific issues you have there in iran was donald trump's well actually what do we have a listen to donald trump first of all this is what he actually had to say when speaking about iran specifically at the general assembly. iran's leaders so k.o.'s.

alliance?technically, he's demanding we denuclearize, but the way you said it is that he is always looking at the usf k, did i misunderstand? or is it clear that they are not actually looking at getting u.s. nukes out of north asia? mr. stangarone: we will also try to keep the answers a short. >> briefly, i would like to see the j prk express a readiness to return to the mpt, and what is in the statement about -- and this is the context of the u.s. taking corresponding measures, is the permanent dismantlement of nuclear facilities. that would give the negotiations to follow room to agree that there are inspectors there. and that the permanent dismantlement takes place in and inspected, observed, and complete way. that language is ok with me and it gives us room with -- to do what we need to do. >> north korea's position on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula is defined in the north korean government statement. dated july 6, 2016. they say what is different -- but they don't mention thi

its not a military alliance as such the chinese want to keep the corporation time to.time because politically the chinese china's a rising power they think that well if you contest the world in ten years we'll catch it in twenty years and fifty years russia is lining power all day trying to preempt that if they have the mines by catching up quickly that's why they're more sort of more aggressive than china that's what a chinese don't form to challenge the united states on a russian timetable because that's too aggressive for them is still for them they have a lot to learn from the russian army particularly they see hundreds in syria they have experience in ukraine it's a war fight you know me the chinese army is a piece of me and the city is still has a lot of all the legacies from the city of arrow of told to people's war which is not the kind of information technology cutting edge war china wants to join you can actually learn from the experience that russian soldiers him in ukraine crimea and now in syria yes yes what does russia get out of this. for russia russia t

today, the alliance is releasing a new survey of which cities are doing to advance climate solutions and to meet the challenges ahead. the report demonstrates cities of all sizes are committed to action. in fact, we have 75 smaller cities, those less than 100,000 citizens respond to the survey. this demonstrates there is broad-based support in urban america, suburban america and rural america up for action, if we have access to the right tools and strategies. shows that climate change impacts all of our communities. collectively, we are making a significant difference. right now, our nation needs thoughtful leaders who care about the environment and care about the world that we have inherited from our ancestors. at you care deeply about their world we are passing on to our children. you need to look no further than america's mayors for this leadership. mayors get things done. fighting climate change is no exception to that rule. i would like to ask my friend, a fantastic leader, the chair of the alliance for sustainable future top our salt lake city mayor to unveil the major findings
