is probably the most functioning bloc between them so the arab league of arab states the arab league has been one that many have criticized for failing to do anything on any fronts the g.c.c. at least had certain things like these are waiver between the countries had economic privileges often negotiated trade deals and so forth as a bloc. and therefore there was some sort of a benefit to it politically speaking when it came to issues of pursuing specific policies particularly when it came to international events that's where it's had a problem. obviously we're reporting on the facts right the fact is that these are countries that don't see eye to eye on issues also for true be blunt about describing any possible solution that will take place tomorrow the reality is it's not really going to solve the deep seeded issues between these countries because each country is built on a different political system and has a different outlook that is a lot more pluralistic in its approach it's a lot more open to. diversity and to different of of opinions and deals with countries from iran to isra

i think we all in the region, israel and arab states, opposed the nuclear deal. prime minister opposed it publicly in congress in 2015, but i think he spoke for many others in the region. and i think that when you have israelis and arabs who are saying to you, this is not a good idea, do not follow that path, i think that that should be taken into consideration. look, you had-- when you were dealing with north korea, you had six-party talks with the north-- with north korea. two of those parties were japan and south korea. meaning your allies in the region were at the table. in the discussions over iran, when the nuclear deal was made, israel was not at the table and the arab states were not at the table so the first inning i would say to the incoming administration, sit with your allies in the reegsz region, we have the most skin in the game, the most to lose. sit with us to deal with the issue and the nuclear iran and with your eye allies in the region, and enhance the process and put the united states in a much better place to deal with iran. >> yousef, you've

united arab emirates behind in impose a land sea and embargo on qatar triggered the worst diplomatic crisis in the g.c.c. region to the point where people really question the g.c.c. itself and where they would be able to recover from the blow or the blockade today is an attempt for all the leaders of the g.c.c. to mend fences and turn the chapter of that episode of the 5th of june 2017 the man you should be seeing right now coming out of this plane is the emir of kuwait. whose country has been instrumental in mediating the crisis former job but it was the man who has been traveling to all the countries saying that it's about time for you leaders to set aside your differences i'm all for the american steps in the european steps in the failed. and the emir of kuwait has been committed to solving the crisis had passed away. a few months ago before being able to watch the fruits of what he has been working hard to achieve happen today which is the moment where all the leaders of the g.c.c. will agree on solving the own differences what is definitely going to happen today will be quite si

world where arab leaders not necessarily people but arab leaders disagree with each other and they take unilateral action they create a crisis and then they climb down solve it and go back to normal and the real issue is that they will go back to normal flights and people going to universities and family reunions and all that but the real issue here is the nature of foreign policy making in the united arab emirates and saudi arabia that cannot go back to normal and i think the major significance of this agreement is that this is the 1st formalized. reflection of a failed emmott out the policy. they put out his drove this process the saudis a gypsy was back when it went along they were at his drove it and they have done many other things in yemen and syria and libya and somalia other places that have failed this is the 1st one was a failure isn't trying to in a in a diplomatic document without actually saying so so let's hope that this is a turning point in the policymaking process foreign policy making process of arab countries and the from the countryside this is an extraordinary examp

let me remind you saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain. and egypt imposed a blockade on cast in june of 2017 as your mall was saying a few moments ago they accuse councils government of spreading instability of supporting terrorism which doha has strongly denied as part of the embargo saudi arabia closed casaus only land border. access to the air by sea lion sea lanes were also restricted and locating countries close to space to 0 cats reregistered aircraft forcing the national airline to make long and expensive detour was a traditionally stepped in to mediate the trumpet ministration has renewed those efforts in a last ditch attempt to resolve the issue before president trump leaves office. back then to our correspondent jim olive child who's on the line at the moment across develop us take us through how all of this broke in the last hour or so joe we had to get rumors of a statement that would be issued by kuwait and of course the g.c.c. meeting is is due to get underway in riyadh in saudi arabia tomorrow of course initially rader's imp

in speaking arabic is the height because you were in the airport.ple really do get nervous and it's amusing to me every once in a while. [laughter] >> in terms of its role obviously something i have to pass on to my daughter but it hasn't been an uphill battle because even when she spoke at by the time she was in preschool and kindergarten for the second year preschool and kindergarten she would refuse to because she thought it made her look different from the other kids and all the other kids spoke english and she wanted to be like the other kids and it's an impulse but all kids want to be like the other kids at school. so i think there is that pressure in the united states in particular to give up the languages of your parents and to have monolingual english proficiency. that is something for example the mayor of san antonio julian castro who ran for the democratic nomination also spoke about because he spoke spanish in the home and said when you start school they were not encouraged to speak spanish. i think today the spanish is not proficient. >

the 2nd the arab israeli war broke out in june 1967 israel took a large number of arab prisoners and cohan among others was exchanged for a number of syrian lebanese and egyptian soldiers. if an agent is caught then israel. sometimes will do something and usually will do nothing to help if a warrior is caught this is considered to be a strategic. because he is an israeli citizen. and this is why when israel caught all these arab soldiers during the 6 day war it was brought up immediately to release schuller cohen and the jews that were arrested in the fifty's $154.00 in egypt and release them in exchange for the syrian lebanese any gyptian sword. the prisoner exchange deal including sulaco hand took place in the summer of 1967 she was taken to knock wood out on the lebanese border where she was handed over to the international red cross who in turn handed her over to the israeli. army to the battle. from then. on a little but will be at laguna. where you call the no call it little general ham then and know who are kind. of attorney and no one has a key a new car be. moved back to isr
