, not about iran, but about my research into the shia community in bahrain.d not at all seem to me to be sympathetic to a hardline islamist worldview, he was linked to the irgc, to the revolutionary guards, in some way. and he flagged me as suspicious with them or alerted them to my presence. so i popped up on their radar because of this individual, and i think... my guess would be he had a pre—existing relationship with them. perhaps he was an informer on the bahraini community within iran, acting for the security services to inform on his own people in qom, because there are a lot of bahrainis in iran for various reasons. he was a seminary student, so he wasn't a refugee from bahrain or anything like that. he was doing clerical studies in qom, because of course qom is a centre of religious... it's sort of the vatican city of iran, in a way. so this individual is responsible for my arrest. right. and they told me that even on my first night. 804 days you eventually spent in prison, much of it in evin but some of it also in a public prison, a very difficult p

all the people discussed it, we saved bahrain, who came to visit me today, but not home.he has a job in an office. and it was he who started this conversation, that in fact there are 7 billion people in the world so many times so many religions, completely different people, and he entered. why did he come to support? he came just to say that you know, and we are with you we wanted to support you. we look at you with pleasure, moreover, we want you to open a report office, and i wanted to ask your permission. can we take your entire programs and show them on our tv? here's another, well, i've already discussed how he speaks with roses cooperation. i would really like to open a russian language school in bahrain and in general, come to visit, come, i say, well , it’s probably difficult for ukraine to put me on the international wanted list there. he says they will now declare the whole of russia international. and now come, it does not concern us. and we are watching how we are developing in china china, which was not our first, second and third. yes, during the time that w

we had the foreign minister of bahrain in egypt. it was a very important summit. the discussions were very interesting. they discussed not only security issues in the region, like iran which is a topic everyone discussed, but also cross-border cooperation. there is a sense that there is a huge potential that if you really want to overcome some of the major challenges in our region, we have to join hands and work together. the parties discussed very rich agenda of cooperation in areas like limit change, energy, fighting the pandemic, food security. we decided to establish six working groups and almost all of them work on these kinds of things. there is a huge potential for involvement in expanding that agenda and making it happen. i think for our region, this is a very key, important factor for the future. since we are now fighting forces that are destabilizing our region, like iran, that kind is --. souad: some people said maybe a future for a group like nato in the middle east? amb. herzog: we are not building a military alliance, let's be clear. we are having cr

we discussed this with the ambassador of bahrain, who came to visit me today, well, not at home, butin fact, there are 7 billion people in the world so many times so many religions, completely different people, and he went. why did he come to support? he came just to say that you know, and we are with you we wanted to support you with pleasure moreover, we want you to open a bureau, and i wanted to ask your permission. can we take your entire programs and show them on our tv? here's another thing, well, i've already discussed this, how he talks about cooperation with roses. i would really like to open a russian language school in the guard. and in general, here to visit, come, i say, well, to visit, probably, it’s difficult for me there, ukraine announced an international wanted list. he says they will now announce to the whole of russia internationally that now come, it does not concern us. and we are looking at how we are developing in china china, which was not our first, second and third. yes, during the time that we were developing, because other priorities were identified there

i feel like we are working very well already, they want you in bahrain after the hard work it was a great better as a team and try to keep ourselves in the fight until the end of the year. finally, the 2019 championjudd trump is through to the second round of the world snooker championship in sheffield. the world number four beat hossein vafaei, the first iranian to reach the world championship, by ten frames to four. he'll play scotland's anthony mcgill in the second round. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. hello. it felt warm in the sunshine again despite the easterly breeze. those easterly winds will remain with us into the weekend.- those easterly winds will remain with us into the weekend. could be strongest cuts uk there's _ with us into the weekend. could be strongest cuts uk there's not - strongest cuts uk there's not much rain and forecast either in the next few days and beyond. the wet weather is much further south in europe, this area of cloud brought some heavy rain to the mediterranean earlier on from an area of low

so bahrain, sudan, morocco and that continued into 2021 in fact one could argue as i did in the book that the war was actually a pastress test for israel and its neww peace partners and got through the test and they are stronger for it now that the war is over but that isn't what was being l reported. there were also i think a lot of people were framing this is a palestinian israeli issue which of course one can certainly make that argument that the fight between the palestinians and israelis persist. however i think it's important to note the site was in gaza and the rulers of gaza are hamas and hamas is a terrorist group that is funded and backed o by iran. >> this set the table for the viewers who may not know who all the players were during that period so let's start with hamas. how does it operate and where does the money come from? >> sure, it is a designated terrorist organization designated here by the treasury and state department. they've been carrying out attacks, gruesome acts of violence against israel since the late 1980s since the first intifada, the palestinian uprisi

happening the same week of this summit that was held in israel with the four arab nations, with egypt, bahraincco, the uae, along with the u.s. how significant is this timing? yasir: yeah. first of all i would like to join what you said earlier, and i think we should condemn the killing indiscriminately of civilians and others on other side and definitely what happened here over the last seven days. i think we make some assumptions that there is a sort of a flow -- flaw in communication in which there is the direct connection between for instance the summit and the terrorist attacks. i think it's actually what was mentioned by the other speakers is the bigger picture. it might be a direct connection, it might be, it may be a more of a coincidence. but the reality is the conditions on the ground, the root causes of the conflict, and i say since yes there is an element of again we as much as we support many support the abraham echo cord and such, -- accord and as such, we would like to see countries getting on with one another, but we'd like also to see how the abrahamic court facilitates for ne

example, during this time the abraham accords were signed and the agreements where israel, the uae and bahrain. both networks are encouraging in this partisan coverage filtering it's not about one side, it's about the media writ large. >> i think you're engaging in both sidesism there, josh. >> not trying to lay out a moral equivalency, it's not about what an objective standard s it's really about how all networks do engage in this and in order for viewers to get a realistic picture of the world we need viewers to see all types of information and unfortunately what we find in the study is that the viewers don't want to engage in watching all sides. so as david mentioned, we see that viewers -- we pay them for four weeks to watch cnn, but then after those payments stop they go back to watching fox news. even though we try to incentivize viewers to watch both fox and cnn they don't want to engage in that hard work, they want to really just watch the side that makes them feel good and this is why the media has such an important responsibility to cover both sides, to hold both parties accountable.

and it is where the agreements where israel, the uae, bahrain signed a major peace agreement and we see that foxe news covered this really major accomplishment about 15 times more than cnn did. so we which both networks are really engaging this partisanis coverage filtering it's it's not about one side. it's about the media at large . i think i you're engaging on boh sides, isn't there, josh? the engaging in both sides of josh look, pillsbury, the data the research showed both sides . that's's why he used it. it's called context something cnn deathly allergic to and that's why cnn is sinking. they don't believely a there's more than one side to their fabricated tales. and if you show them one , well, then it's both side ismfa they might call you a racist. the reason why they fear elon musk is the same reason they obsess over fox because he threatened their fake news bubble . now it's being destroyed. and i got tose admit it's kind f fun to watch that feeling youik got as a kid watching a wicked witch melting. it's an amazing time to see the gatekeepers of false narratives collapsing. re

and i was happy to see the combined naval exercise involving israel, the uae, bahrain, that was lastember. so how are you aktively working with partner nations to integrate the idf into the regional sturt architecture? >> the low-hanging fruit is an air and missile defense. they want to be able to defense themselves and i think that's where we can make great headway involving israel but also other nations in the region. and i'll be able to talk a little bit more about that in the closed session. >> thank you. >> senator peters, please. >> first, let me congratulate both of you on your upcoming retirements and thank you for your collective 82 years of experience between the two of you. that's truly remarkable. outstanding service to our country and certainly our nation owes both of you a debt of gratitude for your sacrifice and commitments. thank you so much. in the last few months, the united states has announced the rerouting of $67 million of security assistance to the lebanese armed forces to support members of the military as lebanon grapples with very severe financial challenges

the right move and i was happy to see centcom's combined naval exercise involving israel, the uae, bahrain, that was last november. so how are you actively working with partner nations to integrate the idf into the regional security architecture? >> i think the low hanging fruit is an integrated air and missile defense. all of these nations see the threat from iran, the ballistic missile threat, the cruise missile threat, the unmanned aerial system threat, and they want to be able to defend themselves, and i think that's where we can make great headway involving israel but also other nations in the region. i'll with able region. i will be able to talk more about that in the closed session. >> closed session. thank you all. thank you mr. chairman. >> senator blackwell. >> thank you, mr. chairman. gentlemen, let me congratulate both of you on your upcoming retirements and thank you for your collective 82 years of experience between the two of you. that's truly remarkable, outstanding service to our country, and certainly our nation owes both of you a debt of gratitude for your sacrifice and

we had foreign ministers from israel, bahrain, united arab emirates, morocco and egypt. egypt of course the first to make peace with israel but then more recent countries that have normalized relationships with israel and there is a strong and deep agenda to pursue cooperation across a whole variety of fronts among the countries. it is exciting to see. we have been working to accelerate that from day one of the administration including bringing israel, the uae and india together to do joint infrastructure projects including working directly with israel and the uae on religious coexistence on water and energy projects. all of this because these agreements have allowed relationships to change. and i'm happy to come back to you because i see our time is up. >> thank you. i look forward to the conversation and yield back. >> the chair recognizes the representative of pennsylvania. >> i think the chair man and mr. do you know the value of u.s. intellectual property theft annually by the ccp? >> billions of dollars. >> so according to nbc or correction, cnn, $30,600,000,000,00
