my question is about amman. the fact that amman and kuwait, mostly amman, has been basically taking a neutral role in this conflict and -- are you planning to investment. -- is amman one of your places where it's a very nice investment area, so is that something that you think of in terms of helping amman with its economic issues as well? >> amman, we have very strong relationship with amman and we have already well-established investments there. and this investment is continuing and growing. we have investments in the real estate, we have investments in infrastructure, we have investments in manufacturing and also now we have investment -- we have joint investments with italy in the energy sector there. so our investment plan there is not something that's considered a big portion of our investment, and also our plans in the future is to expand. >> josh? in the back. >> thank you so much. josh rogin, "washington post." thank you for your time today. according to the readout of president trump's recent call with

well i'm joined by alan michael donald's in amman in the middle east folks and for save the children alan you are in close contact with people in eastern guta has there been any change following the security council votes so far at the moment people we've spoken to here said that it's really just an illusion. that this morning people who are looking forward to. peace will say they left the shelters where they've been hiding underground for the past week trying to escape bombing and people went to check their homes to check their relatives see people working but then pretty soon afterwards just a couple of hours afterwards. a bomb and starts again and i was just thinking somebody just twenty minutes ago he was saying that the bombing is still going on at the moment. so the bombing has continued how is that then affecting your work there there's essentially no change. so. it's incredibly important and urgent that we're able to get a. very little internationally getting in there for years now and particularly over the last few months it's got much worse that the mountain rates among chi

you'll want to see the situation from amman jordan tell us more about what your colleagues are saying about the situation in east and go down today. they have been telling is that after ten days i find president at levels of violence and aerial bombardment that then had a rather quiet night and people were emerging from their shelters in the morning at nine o'clock local time looking for their belongings or looking to get some food some water and then unfortunately around lunchtime again we got. we got the information from our partners on the ground that the aerial bombardment had to raise you and people running for their lives again and basically now we have really trouble to reestablish communication at the moment and while people on the ground able to establish where this was coming from do they think it was a sieve in government forces responsible for this because the russians are saying that in fact rebels have also been shelling and fighting militants i mean that is very difficult for us to say i mean we are. i mean we have been seeing that men in the last ten days and you know

while our earlier i talked with martin millions from the aid organization care in amman in jordan and i asked him given the reports of so many casualties are hospital in hospitals an eastern ghouta quick to deal with this influx of badly hurt people. yeah absolutely not i mean what we're witnessing is is this situation and he's told that had been already difficult before it to some area that was besieged by the government forces since almost four years and the last years and has even intense the far right. we were hardly able to bring in any medication no food so the area we're struggling the four hundred thousand people inside the war would be an extremely serious situation before and now with that military escalation really broad and not only are suffering for the people and the areas by no means a great way to deal with that make this very concrete for us describe the situation of the civilians on the ground are there shelters where they can hide what do families do when bombs start raining down on them. they have basically nowhere to go this area is besieged you consciously anywhe

>> well, i don't think of it as binary, amman. let me tell what you i mean by that. not as if it is perfect for awful. it is all on a spectrum. morale can be down, but that doesn't mean for a minute that men and women aren't focused on the mission. they could be disgusted and motivated. those two things are not mutually exclusive. >> interesting point. i know that house intelligence devin nunes tells us. and here is republican gowdy. let's take a listen. >> there is phase 2 of the investigation. and there is, we do have concerns with a certain aspect of state department involvement. and serious concerns about it. it has not been public yet. so i think what chairman nunes meant is there is another aspect to the investigation. but if there is a second memo, i don't know about it. >> the most senior person and most vocal critic of the devin nunes memo is john mccain. are republicans in the house and senate comfortable with the direction that nunes is going about this? and if not, why are we not hearing more push back besides folks like john mccain? >> it depends on who

amman, i really do. i think john put his fingers on it.eality for our folks outside of washington, in the intelligence community and the governments, are looking at this and they are asking themselves what can we trust in the terms of the information we share with the united states government and specifically that flows through committees like the house intelligence committee. can we trust that that's going to be treated in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical manner? and i think that that's going to have a real chilling effect going forward on how we, as a government, and our intelligence communities, interact with and gain intelligence globally. >> absolutely. very good point. let's switch gears for a moment and talk about the developments on friday with new charges against paul manafort and the plea agreement from his right-hand man, rick gates. alexis, i want to ask you about this. people want emphasis on paul manafort, and rick gates stayed on with the trump campaign. even after manafort left. how worried should the white house be about the pl

joining me now is annan mcdonald from save the children based in amman jordan not only what are you hearing about the situation on the ground in eastern huta. well we have reports this morning but it's it's too easy to be able to very private moments but we will we have heard from families today is that most of the families are still in shelters on the ground people. really thought her in that case the bombing starts again i think in this general lack of trust that. any cease fire will actually hold in coming to a correct a couple of days ago where the u.n. security council announced a cease fire. people came out of their shell to try and find a family or check on the houses and then. very short time later the building starts up again and more people were killed at the moment people are still very very scared very afraid. to really come out and. and so and so it's clear that the cease fire is holding exactly what your colleagues telling you what is their assessment about whether this five a day's ceasefire is enough telling how many attempts civilians at least in hotel. it's definitely not
