including systematic torture which is practiced by the government of bahrain and i would like to openly call upon the united states the united kingdom the e.u. and the international community to intervene to stop the massive on go in human rights violations and both rain condemning is not enough it's time for the international community to play a role in countering and stopping and putting can and to do ongoing kimmel rights violations in bahrain we also spoke with the director of the bahrain freedom movement he told us that nabeel rajab has always spoken out against injustice regardless of the consequences. those of the stories that no one should say anything you have to have to accept the slave monster relationship that you are a means a slave for the al khalifa now maybe it was chosen not to be a slave chose to be a female like more than four thousand to print political prisoners at this moment of time for maybe being a human rights activist what should he do should just keep quiet about the ongoing imprisonment torture. tension. and of course. i do. fantasies of that e.g. we all sho

saudi arabia, the uae and bahrain are toying with the lives of thousands of people. i'm sure you are wondering what instigated the inhumane and illegal actions. this all began when individuals of the united emirates decided to launch a cyber attack against a qatar news agency. during this attack, a fabricated statement was published. this fabricated statement was broadcasted in saudi and news outlets even after the rejection retractioner qatar's and the statement declaring it was false. it's crucial to note that qatar media was blocked in this country hours before the cyber attack. ensuring people cannot access the truth. this carefully orchestrated cyber attack was used to justify their illegal and inhumane work -- blockade against the people of qatar. questions i have been asking is why, why have the takenrs -- blockaders such measures to silence qatar. unfortunately, the countries have never revealed the true intentions behind these actions. they have never shared their supports and concerns with us nor given us a chance to address problems they may have. three we

i'm from bahrain. how does the current situation within the countries in the region affect qatar's strategy with regards to the saudi-led coalition in yemen? according to the u.n., they have caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. thank you for the question. to clarify that, the role of qatar in the yemen war was subject only to defend the saudi borders so we do not engage in operations inside. only to defend the saudi borders. in the first day of aggression against qatar, they asked us to leave. so we don't have any troops now there. they kicked out our troops from their borders. >> prior to their decision to cut diplomatic ties? >> on the same day of the aggression, when they said we cut the relation, forced a blockade. they asked the troops to leave. ok, we have a few more minutes. more, you has a few have a few minutes to think of them. in the meantime, i have plenty. if there's any journalists in the room who also want to ask questions, feel free to do so. we will move on to some other

bahrain and egypt are the others. —— two main neighbours.e could not resist saying that qatar was good to miss the bus, almost in a flippant way. —— was going to miss the bus. they admitted today they may have been two hourly, because theyjust got the response from qatar. —— they may have been too early. other mediators, like the united states and britain, they are friends, if you like, they will try to urge both sides in this crisis to find a way forward , sides in this crisis to find a way forward, because they have common enemies, possible the threat posed by so—called islamic state. it is good to take a very long time. could it just good to take a very long time. could itjust simmerfor good to take a very long time. could itjust simmer for more years? a stalemate in which qatar does not given? qatar is one of the richest nations per capita, but there is a lot at stake. the foreign minister told us today they are shipping costs are told us today they are shipping costs a re now told us today they are shipping costs are now ten times what

the foreign ministers of bahrain, egypt, saudi arabia and the uae will meet in cairo wednesday to discuss the next step in the ongoing disputes. >> bret: john huddy in the middle eastern newsroom. in other foreign headlines, u.s. backed forces in syria have breached the wall around raqqa's old city.ia senior pentagon officialsnd tell us that r the major advance in the weeks old battle to drive isis militants from their i self-declared capital. in iraq, that countries forces with u.s. backing are continuing their steady advance against the last isis stronghold in mosul. the prime minister says the civilians have rejected terrorists. the remaining militants trapped in the old city are now in a fight to the death. in caracas, venezuela, the supreme court has taken another step in undermining the country's chief prosecutor.

. >> why do you think that relationship bothers the uae and saudi arabia and egypt and bahrain? >> maybe this is a question for them to answer. >> okay. so, you've have had a whole range of diplomats coming to try to mediate some diplomats from europe, secretary tellers and most recently president or. it hasn't been working out i suppose. what have you been talking about, tell us about the negotiations and what are the biggest sticking points? >> we are asking the countries to discuss their grievances but so far unfortunately they are not receptive. we've made to the demands which were difficult for anyone to accept to show the goodwill they dismissed them and we continue to ask the mediators to try to find a way to sit on the table and discuss the differences. >> what do you think is the next step? >> keith stated in his address they are willing to discuss so we look forward to them engaging with the united states to discuss the differences. >> the other day in an interview the russian foreign minister law lovsaid he would be in the diplomatic interference is that something --

not clear what his role is with bahrain police.rces say he is not a diplomat and he's in jail tonight with no bond. >>> the lawyer for a maryland woman accused of killing her husband said she had no reason to do it and there's no smoking gun prove she is guilty. she was arrested on friday and is charged with killing her husband, scott horn back in march. horn was a retired special agent with the fbi. the couple were estranged and horn was found shot to death in his backyard. detectiveswe >>> maryland is joining the list of states saying no to the commission on election integrity. maryland's attorney general says the state is prohibits by law from sharing personal voter information that the commission asked for including addresses, voting history and the last four digits of social security numbers. virginia and delaware also refused. west virginia is waiting for the formal request but won't give out social security information. >>> a special honor for two capital police officers hailed as heroes during the congressional baseball sho

but saudi arabia and bahrain and the uaa and egypt all blocked qatari media.ith qatar over its alleged support for terrorism and relations with iran. today, you get this article in the washington post. it contains the accusation that us intelligence officials have evidence that this was a hack and that the uae was behind it. the foreign minister gave lucy hawking isa foreign minister gave lucy hawking is a quite different story earlier. com pletely is a quite different story earlier. completely untrue. and posting comments... completely untrue. i think if you look at the comments, they are very consistent with what they are very consistent with what they have been doing. i am talking about the hack, completely untrue. they also said that on the 23rd of may, senior members of your government discussed the plan and implementation. the whole story is com pletely implementation. the whole story is completely untrue. we turned to bbc arabic for help. the uae ambassador in washington denying the involvement of his government. the statements for foreign affairs in th

ambassador to syria and bahrain peter ford always good to see you sir the media has called the cia program coming to an end a victory for vladimir putin in somewhat like a slur against trump more so than a victory but could actually more importantly signify a period of closer ties in syria. broadly yes but i think we have to be cautious here none of the details been confirmed. we don't know many of the details it's possible that what's happening here is simply a partial scaling down gradual scaling down of u.s. assistance to the favored opposition groups and what we may actually be thing is on the view of media news management by the trump team they are allowing an impression to be created that really major decision when in reality it will turn out in a few days or a few weeks time the scale of it is really quite small. so i wouldn't jump to conclusions in any case however it's certainly a step in the right direction. to bringing peace to the syrian people and more or less tension through u.s. relations with russia. without is the point isn't it that. this code turned out to be a victory f

. >>> the russian president is urging qatar and the king of bahrain to resolve the diplomatic crisisetween qatar and its neighbors. qatar faces a monday deadline to comply with 13 demands from several gulf arab states. >> it is unlikely the deadline will be met. qatar's foreign minister says the demands were not meant to be accepted, and he adds larger nations should not bully smaller ones. >> saudi arabia, egypt, bahrain and the uae have all cut diplomatic ties with qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism. the country denies that. >> let's go live to qatar right now. we're following the story in doha. when it comes to the mood there in doha and throughout qatar, it seems that qataris are taking a resilient position despite this pressure. >> they really are. george, it is one day before the deadline runs out. as you mentioned, it really is looking unlikely that qatar is going to agree or comply with this list of sweeping demands. it is not just something that we're hearing from government officials like the foreign minister, you're also hearing this on the ground from ordinary peo

been that we spoke to the syrians directly in bahrain.you had a group of like-minded jurisdictions that have been committed to, at least in theory applying these laws and recommendations and then being willing to be submitted to these evaluations by foreign next kurtz. countries big and small, the u.s. all the way to macau are being evaluated and to david's points -- it is the shaming dimension, but also the market effects. you look at the integrity of these jurisdictions. how serious are they dealing with terrorist financing? do they have institutions to handle these risks? it is a process that has been the norm asleep effective and it gets the attention of david'snts which, to point, that is why they have been able to push governments to improve. it's also why they have looked at countries like north korea and iran and put them on, in essence, the blacklist, for deficiencies in their anti-money and terrorist financing systems. that is why it one in particular is so dead set on getting off that list in dealing with those market-based and

it has a history of invading the neighbors when day try to invade the the 18 bahrain so now they are deep in the oven with a loss of innocent life. so given the confusion in the since that doesn't seem to be on the same page as president turgut especially since those are the descendants to something unusual is that something to worry about for?. >> i would like to give you my vision of how life and a stand negative. -- understand it and the escalation is important to discuss those grievances. i can assure you and i hope we resolve this crisis as quickly as possible that the international community focuses to fight terrorism. >> i am from the founder of the women's global initiative qatar that i know is that the epicenter is the home of the business owner and i will be attending in november and also that entrepreneur incubation the home of seven muslim women and for the benefit of children offer for those in the society so how can civil societies and peace makers and that is what i take back from your tweets. >> so how can we help you?. >> thank you very much for your kind comments ab

bahrain is firmly in the saudi camp.in trenches it's a lying spirit -- in trenches it's alliance. oman and quake did not really take part in the decision to isolate qatar. it remains to be seen whether other members will help them if they are in trouble. we are not going to escalate significantly more, they are said we will have a measure here or there. they have had nine individuals or organizations to the list .hey want qatar to prosecute interestingly, when we spoke to analyst a couple weeks ago, they said we don't see additional economic sanctions that do not involve self harm on both sides. if you are saudi arabia and you ,o to international companies it can hurt your standing. ultimately, they'd denied intending to do that. and just in question. people don't see the scope for significant escalation that doesn't involve self harm. yousef: shooting themselves in the foot. let's get back into the .onversation with mazen the price being paid for the crisis, it is not limited to qatar. will we see even more downgrades g

it may have been one of the last times we had talked to the syrians directly, actually, there in bahrain. but i think fatf has been enormously successful because you have had a group of like-minded jurisdictions whether it's in fatf proper or in these regional bodies that have been committed to at least in theory applying these laws and regulations and recommendations and then being willing to be submitted to these evaluations which foreign experts. countries big and small, u.s. all the way to macaw, right, are being evaluated. to david's point with enormous impact it's the shaming dimension but it's also the market effects, to kate's point about derisking, the private sector very much looks at these evaluations and assessments to understand the level of integrity within these injuries ticks. how good are they at dealing with money laundering? how serious are they dealing with terrorist financing? do they have institutions in place to actually handle these issues and these risks? it's a process that's actually been enormously effective and it gets the attention of governments which is to

we don't see moderation in bahrain. we don't see moderation in yemen. that moderate side that negotiated the nuclear deal with the united states, we don't see them having any influence over the regional files. and so those are not the people-- . >> rose: they make a deal with the americans on a nuclear deal, the we maffier aspect is-- who report directly to the supreme leader rather than to the parliament. >> yes. >> rose: the other thing did. >> the other thing that is going to happen, charlie, when the caliphate is taken away is there is going to be huge issues to addressment and yousef mentioned one of them which is mosul, who is going to govern mosul and how is that going to happen. another is the syrian fighters who we have been, the united states of america and our original partners have been arming and training, and supporting side-by-side, who have been fighting isis, what will happen to them. will assad go after them? what will we do? will the iranians go after them? will hezbollah go after them and will we protect them? are we going to let the

they just said the next meeting will be in bahrain.e don't know when that is or what will trigger a meeting, if they are waiting for another response from qatar, if there is more mediation going on. we don't really know. what they did say is they did call on the international community to step in to make an effort, and we are seeing a lot of activity on that front. esident trump called the meeting while the foreign ministers were meeting. we have the german foreign minister in town, and the u.k. foreign minister said he was going to get involved. >> how much of this was really bloc . or saudi-led decision? there were comments saying it was donald trump's call that probably convinced the alliance to maintain flexibility to avoid immediate escalation of the crisis. >> in terms of not raising sanctions? >> yes. >> well, i think it is probably not a coincidence that president trump called while the ministers were meeting to decide on this. one can naquin an assumption that international leaders called on the gulf states to take a breath, t

saudi arabia, the uae, bahrain, and egypt have condemned qatar's response to their demands as negativeign ministers from the four arab countries met in cairo today and complained that qatar has failed to grasp the gravity of the situation. the four states accuse qatar of supporting terrorism and cut all diplomatic ties last month. dohar says the accusations are baseless. the list of 13 demands included closing a turkish military base, scaling down relations with iran and shutting down the aljazeera network. let's have a quick look at some of the newspapers from tomorrow. the lead in here on the i is the discussions of the reaction of the un security council. the guardian leads on news that 13 hundred nursing homes in england are failing safety standards laid down by the care quality commission. the telegraph has the same story, reporting that one in four elderly care homes in england is unsafe. the front page picture is of a swarm of flying ants descending on courts at wimbledon. the metro leads on what the paper calls the first "jihadi jail" of a uk prison — it's aim is to try and to

the russian president, vladimir putin, is urging qatar and the king of bahrain to resolve the diplomaticsis between qatar and its powerful neighbors. monday is the deadline for qatar to comply with 13 demands from several gulf arab states. it is increasingly unlikely the deadline will be met. qatar's foreign minister says larger nations should not bully smaller ones, and he adds qatar is ready to face the consequences. >> this list of demands is made to be rejected. it is not made to be accepted or negotiated. instead qatar rejecting it as a state of principle, we are willing to engage in providing the proper condition for the good of these countries. qatar is in a region considered the center of stability in a terrorized region. there is, i think, enough wisdom in avoiding such an irresponsible action against any country. none of the countries and our spas international allies is going to accept such an escalation in that region. the region is vital for the entire world. it is not just vital for the arab region. >> saudi arabia, egypt, bahrain and the uae have all cut diplomatic ties wi

why do you think saudi arabia, the uae, egypt and bahrain want to limit qatari sovereignty? >> it's a matter of power in the region but my country is alwahas all sd coming to the table of negotiation, discuss this frankly, we have no problem to discuss this first lifting the blockade is the most important issue it's an illegal blockade we stress that it's illegal discussing the issues, throwing this through the discussion table. and as i said, the united nations is providing the facility to discuss this, otherwise they can use the gcc, the gulf corporation country mechanism to discuss the issue of any kind of dispute >> you'll forgive me for asking, is this not one of the problems, the idea they're doing this to limit sovereignty, is this one of the problems with non-elected governments that egos can drive behavior that may not be in the interest of the people in saudi arabia or the emirates or bahrain? >>i just assured that the negotiation between the countries should be respected and put on a platform through the right channels we are not talking -- we are talking about th

we have a base in the uae and a base in bahrain. so the more options you have the less leverage any one of these actors has over us. at the same time we have an evaluation and they've invested a million in that base and that's a ton of money. they do have technology there and runways and space and things that we don't necessarily have elsewhere, and so i think it would be -- and on top of that, if you end up in a situation where you lose access to the base and you start running into questions that you can conduct operations in syria and iraq and a problem where we can bring in a carrier to offset some of those with the ability to do things and the asia pacific or in europe and so it's a very complicated question, but it's worth -- it's certainly worth exploring instead of making it a sacred cow because whenever you make anything a sacred cow and it makes it invaluable to you. one other point if i can just add on to that matt is saying and it's important to toss away, and i do think it's important we need to focus getting all of our

you know, we have a base in the uae, we have a base in bahrain. so the more options you have, the less leverage any one of these actors has over us. at the same time i think we would have to do a really v real evaluation, because if we lost the base in qatar, they invested a billion dollars in that base. that's a ton of money. they have technology and space and things we don't necessarily have elsewhere. i think it would be -- on top of that, if you end up in a situation where we lose access to the base, then you also run into questions of not being able to conduct as many operations in iraq, afghanistan and elsewhere and also where we could bring in a carrier or something like that to offset some of those things, and the ability to do things in the asian pacific or in europe. so it is a very complicated question, but it is worth -- it is certainly worth exploring instead of making it a sacred cow. whenever you make something a sacred cow and becomes invaluable to you, you have a lot less leverage over everything else. one other point if i could a
