a number of gulf states that cut ties with qatar on tuesday rex tillerson signed an agreement with doha to combat the financing of terrorism and other gulf states like saudi arabia and egypt of cold the move insufficient to listens visit to doha comes just a month after president trump accused the gulf state of funding extremism together states cut or will do more to track down funding sources or do more to collaborate sure information it will do more to keep the region and are only. the nation of qatar unfortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism. at a very high level to listens aim is to find a compromise between qatar and other gulf states who demand doha qatar alleged ties with terror groups and close news outlets like al jazeera the tiny gulf nation has so far refused to submit to any of the demands but america is more driven by thoughts of reconciliation alone cut out of hosts the biggest u.s. air base in the middle east with eleven thousand troops a few days after donald trump accused qatar of sponsoring terrorism quote a very high level the us signed a twelve billio

in doha. that were representatives of the taliban who had come there before the opening of this office. then came the initiative by the obama administration to negotiate with the taliban. in an attempt to find pragmatic members of the group. so they essentially authorized the bha what became the taliban embassy, as i mentioned in my testimony this was something very frustrated to those within the afghan government who were struggling to for their own recognition of legitimacy. they felt this undermined them. i've heard this from a number of u.s. officials on both sides of the aisle. what happened after that was the trade for bowe bergdahl, who had gone missing in afghanistan. he was traded for the taliban five. this was facilitated by the qataris and the taliban five are high-ranking taliban officials. operatives ultimately came to qatar as well. they augmented the presence that had already been there. since that time the concern has been not just that there has been an official presence of th

earlier in doha on sunday doha received 48 hours to decide if it wants to meet the demands of the saudi-ledoalition. >> but it seems unlikely that qatari officials will agree, even with those extra hours. some of the requests involve distancing relations with iran, stopping the construction of a turkish air base, and paying hefty reparations. another demand is that qatar shut down its al jazeera tv network. >> following this story jomana karadsheh is live in doha. good to have you with us this hour. jomana, so given the demands on doha, the deadline by its neighboring countries and the president's phone calls with leaders in the region, where do things stand right now? >> george, just to give you an idea where things actually stand, you know the deadline that ran out we believe at midnight local time, the start of monday, we heard right before that from the qatari government through their state news agency saying that the foreign minister will be traveling on monday, this morning, to kuwait. as you know, kuwait has been playing the mediation role in this whole crisis. and the foreign minist

domestic affairs, as saudi arabia and its gulf allies get ready to meet to discuss their demands on doha. >>> good morning, everyone we've got a lot of data to get through. let's kick things off with the eurozone services pmi, that came in at 55.4 versus a forecast of 54.7 the may number that was 56.3, so we're seeing a bit of a weakening, but again it is still above forecast when it comes to the may composite -- sorry, june number, 56.3 that's higher than forecast. overall the momentum is still relatively strong. let's see whether momentum is still going strong in the uk car registration sector. it's not down 4.8% year-on-year in june to 243,454 units that's according to the smmt and that follows a drop of 8.5% when it comes to the may print. once again uk new car registrations down 4.8% year-on-year in june let's get instant reaction with ant edenhall do these numbers strurprise you after the numbers leading up to the german ele election? >> we expected car sales to be down this year consumer uncertainty is pretty high consumer confidence is high. so you would expect car sales to fall

doha hosts and helps fund the largest u.s. military facility in the middle east essentially our forward operating base. it is from this space that we supported the wars in iraq and afghanistan and airstrikes against isis. qatar has served as mediator oftentimes to the benefit of united states per qatar has helped broker a cease-fire between hamas and israel during periods of intense fighting but qatar is helped secure an american hostage held for two years by the icao the link nusra after the tragic beheading of a u.s. journalist. it has begin taking steps to hold qatar accountable for terror finance that they have got more to do. while they began prosecuting terror groups they have done so in secret hardly an effective deterrent and it's unclear whether the outcomes of these prosecutions have led to any significant jail time or penalties but i was pleased to see the signing of a new memorandum of understanding with secretary tillerson this month but we don't yet know the details of how this will be implemented and we will wai

we have a treasury attache in doha. he works hard all the time. this new omu is going to send an official prosecutor to help with the prosecutions. there's no question about the name not only because we designated many, but because we had this open conversation with them many times. one of my recent conversations with a senior qatar official, he said, look, matt, we need the fbi to tell us, you are former fbi. i said, no, sir, you have a good security service, i have worked with you in the past. you know that i know exactly who we are talking about, and therefore it is frustrating as i mentioned when a senior qatar official said yesterday all of the terror financiers in our country have been subject to prosecution, that's not true. nor is prosecution the only tool in the tool chest. i would argue that the problem here is not the list. the problem here is they refuse to do it and we haven't had any effective consequence for that because we need them for other things, we want them for other things, but we have to be able to balance that. >> that's w

if they were just playing ping-pong in doha it would be fine.the qataris portray themselves as sort of the switzerland of the gulf, that's what they want to be, which is an interesting model particularly in the illicit finance world because for, you know, a long time switzerland was the playground for -- you know, for all manner of people who had illicit funds and bank accounts there, i mean, sort of to juan's point, the international community got together and said, you know, enough. we are not going to let you have numbered accounts, we are not going to let you have -- you have an important role, switzerland of being neutral, being a place, you know, being a financial center but not to the expense of the rest of the world's efforts to combat illicit finance. i think that exact same model could be applied in a slightly different context but same model with doha. >> the gentleman has a question for you. >> i'm not affiliated with any organization. i have a question for most -- for mr. cohen. you talked earlier about the bush administration looki

for allegedly supporting terrorism will meet in cairo to discuss doha's response to their 13 demands. that's according to the gulf news. the arab news, meanwhile, covers the final leg of a march in turkey, from ankara to istanbul. it began with a few hundred people and it's swelled to more than 20,000. started by the leader of the country's main opposition party, demonstrators are protesting the perceived lack ofjustice in turkey's judicial system. the daily telegraph reports a lack of eligible men has left an "oversupply" of educated women taking desperate steps to preserve their fertility, according to a global study on egg freezing. and roger federer has urged wimbledon officials to reconsider its rules to stop injured players from turning up for an easy pay cheque only to drop out. it reports two retirements on centre court on tuesday left the crowd feeling short—changed. so, a full review. with us is jane foley, a senior strategist at rabobank.

we're following the story in doha.hen 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 people. there really is this mood of defiance and patriotism in doha. ♪ that has taught me all i know ♪ >> reporter: four years ago, this woman ended her singing career to focus on composing music, but as her country of qatar is facing an unprecedented crisis, it's time to act, she says. ♪ we may live in peace >> all of a sudden, there is this embargo and they were blockaded. i wanted to get this message of love and unity and togetherness out, and i wanted to show this, to showcase the strength and our unwaverin

they are accusing doha of a negative response. there is no end to it and absolute deadlock. it's clear after this latest row but they want to carry on extending the boycott of qatar, it doesn't strike me it's having much impact on qatar, they're finding ways, as you do with boycotts, they've got the help of turkey, which has a big military base in qatar, i don't mean militarily helping but in terms of foodstuffs, making sure they get into qatar. when you're in qatar you don't notice that much different. they are very innovative as a nation. and they have a huge amount of money. very rich country. and the richard branson story in the south china morning post. very interesting. scaling back uk investment. it's interesting that he's upfront about it. additional to what we've seen in the past few months when you look at the past few months when you look at the figures in investment for example, particularly in the car industry, there's a good example, it's falling off a cliff because eve ryo ne it's falling off a cliff because everyon

it lies in doa -- doha. charlie: three years ago?not because of the visit of president trump to react and the -- trump to riyadh and the arab summit? yousef: no. this is like a pot that has been sitting on the stove a very long time, twice it has boiled. once, three years ago it was resolved. these commitments were never lived up to. today it has gotten worse. we got to a point where we said we can't live like this anymore. you can't sit around the table with us and support the groups threatening to kill us and kill our children. you cannot be inside the tent while you are supporting the groups that undermine our security. if you want to continue that foreign policy and hamas and the muslim brotherhood and militias, you are more than welcome to. they have every right to come back tomorrow and say we reject these demands and we don't want to negotiate. charlie: what happens if they do that? yousef: we are within our rights to say, we don't want a relationship with you. very hard for you to come in force upon any country, having a rela

a globally recognized state-of-the-art academic oasis on the outside of the capital doha. it hosts schools from the united states, britain, france and qatar. these include our friends at georgetown university, texas a&m, carnegie mellon, cornell, virginia commonwealth, northwestern university, hcc pairs and ucl london. in terms of transparency which we are very big on at the world affairs council we should inform you that we have had a long and valued relationship with the state of qatar during the 38 years since our founding. the conair foundation was the recipient of our 2014 global education award that was accepted on behalf of the -- the ambassadors of qatar heaven participated in our investor programs and supported our annual world affairs global education gala. qatar's population is question -- anyone know? did you just google it and will out of bounds. all right. is a 2,000,258, 283 people. out of that number 11.6% are native qatari's and 88.4% are non- qatari's. bilateral relations between the united states and qatar are strong. qatar host the us military central c

many of the claims are substantive and focus on issues the doha should have dressed. it has maintained an open door policy for islamist extremist groups. most disturbance is a tolerance and support for alaska almise rks ah. the advocacy of these efforts is questionable. in 2014 the u.s. department shut off the fundraising platform for syria. the u.s. treasure december al-qaeda abi for an syrian affiliate. he came up again in the 2017 of financier. ed they continued funding supposed after they shut down the finance putting a question mark turnover integrity of qatar's measure to stop terror financing. those sketchy on the issue of the prosecution of terrorism financier. according to the state department, doha had made efforts to prosecute significant terrorist financiers. hey had cut five financiers. it is now clear that if these two was acquitted one was acquit on appeal. one one convicted in absentia. the one that's still resident are reportedly under surveillance. some new arrests may have been made since the current crisis began likely involved some of those previo

we have a treasury ateach in doha he works real hard all the time. this mu mo ufrmt is going to send a department of justice op data official to help them with prosecutions. there is no question about the names not only because we have designated many, because this very open conversation with the them many times. one of my recent conversation was the senior qatary official the official said matt you're froshl fbi we need the fbi i said no you have a really good security service i know because you worked with you pat past oh our people are working with you you know that i he know i you know dplkt who where talking about us fritz freighting when a senior qatary official says yesterday all the terror financiers have been subject to the prosecution. that's not true. more is prosecution the only tool in the tool chest. so i'd argue that the problem here is not the lists. the problem here is that they refuse it it and we haven't had any type of consequence for that because we need them for other things we want them for other things but we have to be able t

be a small country but it's quite an influential regional power the us has two military bases near doha one of which is washington's largest in the entire region turkey's first foreign military base as we talked about is also in qatar with the two countries often holding joint drills across the gulf is around which shares the world's biggest nuptial gas field with guitar strong criticism from the saudi led bloc for its partnership with tehran. well the row is being. mediated by kuwait but some other world powers have weighed into u.s. president told trump spoke on the phone with his egyptian counterpart urging a resolution to the crisis however the american leader has criticized guitar over its alleged terror links recently in a leaked recording i was released by the intercept news website. of. military analysts say washington is sending mixed signals over its altitude towards qatar. we've seen from this administration that there are at least three four different middle east policies the white house has one policy the state department has another policy and the pentagon and cia have dif

a lot of people focus on al jazeera because it has its and quarters in doha, but they don't also look at the issues we are having in our local media. there are some programs that have a great freedom of maneuver and expression. so that is where we stand on the issue of free media and free expression. i think what they are afraid of is, they are afraid of being criticized. want to not have the truth come out. they don't want stories like a story that came out in ap regarding torture in yemen. that is what they want to suppress, i believe. >> i think i will have to challenge you a bit on press freedom. freedom house takes a look at the countries around the world and has given qatar mediocre to low marks on the press freedom. there was some legislation that was proposed in many councils. the sheik has not signed it yet, it would broaden press freedom. some of the issues include outlying criticism of the ruling family, of the government and islam, so that's not what i consider to be complete press freedom. where do you think qatar still needs to go? >> it is true, i didn't say that it is

that's what saudi arabia bahrain the uae and egypt are hoping will happen six weeks into doha's isolation. the block have water down their list of demands in order to re engage with the country. it now includes a commitment to combat terrorism and extremism as well as deny safe haven on financing to terrorist groups. saudi arabia and its allies also want bill how to stop inciting violence as well as to refrain from meddling into the internal affairs of other countries. i'm initial list of demands handed to qatar on the twenty second of june was dismissed. it included downgrading diplomatic relations with iran shutting turkey's military base severing ties with the muslim brotherhood and closing down the news network al just zero. doha has consistently denied eating terrorist groups linked to al qaeda or the islamic state organization. last week it's on an agreement with the united states to step up its counterterrorism efforts. saudi arabian diplomat say the new demands it should be easy for qatar to accept. while the uae's permanent representative to the united nations warned that doe how

there are still people in doha who are there in awareness of government.ter the march 2014 speech they gave, calling out cutter and qatar andcalling out kuwait, i traveled and met with security and others to encourage them to improve their performance. it was abundantly clear to me that they knew exactly who was raising funds in their jurisdictions, where they were, what they were doing, how they were doing it, how the money was being moved, and, nonetheless, were not by a large prepared to do anything about it -- by in -- by and large prepared to do anything about it. i think there remains more progress, more fruit that can be harvested. so i can just add a little bit on specifics, although there is not many specifics. hasnow about what qatar died. it has come primarily from u.s. , andnment reports from it it has been pursued, using language that leaves it not quite clear, even though there has been some clarity in recent weeks. ies -- that has been one of the problems. it is not clear if this is a reflection of an incomplete commitment to doing it, i thi

the one to doha was because you land technically before you take off coming from abu dhabi. it is a 45-minute flight. nonetheless, the value in having someone there a lot of times is the ability to be available and to develop, you know, rapport with the counterpart and to the conference on technical issues. i would say throughout the gulf we've had very good relationships with our counterpart in finance ministries and in central banks. again, really connect on those technical levels. the attaches work on policy matters. they work on sanctions implement ak implementation, promoting best practices and standards such as the fatf standard. in the gulf there's a little technical assistance involved as well, although it is done more so elsewhere where you have lower resource countries would be where the treasury would commit more resources to technical issues. the idea being higher resources, countries can find technical assistance through commercial means or on their own. but it is an important job i think in terms of having that ongoing engagement and being able to facilitate th

rex tillerson was in qatar on tuesday tell us how that meeting lands so when he was in doha he signed what they called a memorandum of understanding but the second was regarding right against terrorism and terrorism financing but the second that was announced the gulf states immediately shot that down and said you know we do not recognize this as a legitimate step forward towards amending the boycott right now which is why a lot of people do not think that there is going to be incredibly successful it's been over one month since saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt issued a boycott of qatar it's been a tricky situation for qatar to approach considering this is the country's worst diplomatic crisis in decades and so far the gulf states are not willing to compromise on their long list of demands for doha sanctions were imposed on june fifth over allegations of terrorism financing and close ties to iran a known gulf state rival the terrorism part is one thing but the iran part is just as complicated saudi arabia has not been shy about its feeling toward iran with fears

so far leaders in the capital doha have remained defiant.ome of the requests include shutting down al jazeera's network, paying hefty reparations, curbing ties with iran and closing a turkish air base. >> we'll have a live report from doha in about an hour's time. qatar runs out of options. we'll explain what leaders there are likely to do next. >>> still ahead this hour -- >> i wake up in sadness. i go to bed in sadness. i don't know any other emotion than sadness. every day, i live in fear of tomorrow. >> the words of a mother powerless to help her daughter in syria. coming up, how a phone app is offering a needed lifeline. >> pleased to have you with us this hour. live from atlanta, georgia, you're watching cnn. worldwide. sorry about the holdup, folks. we have some congestion on the runway and i'm being told it'll be another 15, maybe 20 minutes, and we will have you on your way. ♪ runway models on the runway? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money evan saved by switching to geico. i would not wear that lace. hmm, i don't know

let's get more on the latest development out of doha this is the first time we are hearing from the qatarir since the saudi led sanctions. somewhat open response. how are you reading what he said? >> i'm reading this is part of an effort to start tuning -- start toning down some of the sharp rhetoric exchanged over the last month or so, especially in the media of both groups. here is a saudi let block and qatar in the other. we had the news late last week that there is a roadmap being worked out between the u.s. and u.k., they're going to propose to cap cap. -- two qatar. there was the change to anti-terrorism laws and now they are saying they are willing to talk. it seems they agree on the broad framework of what needs to be done, but it is the implementation that they are arguing over. he's going to meet with some of the gulf leaders. they've been focal about their -- vocal about their reservations. what are we expecting from the conversation? >> i think it is going to be very different meetings in qatar and saudi arabia. not laid the role of a neutral party. he is completely down on the
