arabia as a member of the bcc in which the legitimate government in bahrain called for help from its gcc partners to protect installations in bahrain. the troops and subsequent troops that went there, they went to protect the sea port, the airport, the refinery and the business district. they had absolutely no involvement in any of the demonstrations or the calling of demonstrations by the bahrain forces. if you look at pictures of bahrain today, google earth for example you will see that these forces are encamped around these areas i told you. >> charlie: if i said a popular convention of wisdom was the saudis went there to mcsure there was no revolution in bahrain to overthrow the monarchy the same way there was a revolution in tunisian and in egypt and in libya, you would say. >> i would say saudi arabia before, during and after called for negotiations -- >> charlie: what's the status of those negotiations in a country that's a majority shi'a and sunni are. >> sunni minority of the people. king of bahrain started a commission to investigation the events that happened back in february

>> i mean the plan that had been on the discussion, the gcc plan is for all purposes dead. >> suarez: cooperation council. >> the idea that the president would step down and there would be a transitional government. maybe that deal might have had legs six months ago. i don't think it does anymore. it will probably form the basis for whatever it is that comes next. but in its current arrangement, i can't see that being viable. >> suarez: hadn't there been recently encouragement from the e.u., from the united states, hoping to nudge the saleh family along in this very process that you say is now dead? >> i think they would like to. but i think none of the actors there interests aren't matching up with what we'd like to see. so we can figure out a way to reincentivize all the the partys to the conflict not just the regime but the other power-elites in the the country that are fighting until we figure out a way to reincentivize them to move towards non-violence, that won't happen. >> yemen is home to a very dangerous and well known branch of al qaeda. is a more unstable yemen something mu

my country adheres to the initiative by the gcc as a foundation for the political crisis, especially that exsen sigh decided to have the president conduct all of the powers to initiate the gulf initiative and to achieve in order to guarantee a small and democratic transition of power. this is done without violation to the constitution or democratic principles. this is why we see yemen will provide a yemen for change where all parties will be winners. they will have the means to overcome crisis. the president after his return on ambiguous terms he adhered to the gcc initiative and committed to it. he called on all parties to initiate dialogue and to reach compromise to implement it. my country continues to make every effort in order to fight al-qaeda and its terrorist agents in our country despite the limited resources of our gofort. what we need at the international level is a comprehensive global strategy in order to build national capacities so as to fight extremism and terrorist ideology, a strategy that does not bring cause to military might, but is based on social, political, ba

yesterday we know there was a gcc, a gulf cooperation council envoy in yemen that are still there, meetinged doors trying to convince the powers to sign this deal and get the political crisis over with there. the problem with that scenario, as i'm speaking to yemeni diplomats, the power, they don't understand what's going on in the street. a different reality what's going on behind closed doors and what's going on outside in the streets of yemen. there's so much anger in the streets. for months hundreds of thousands of people coming out day after day asking for the president to step down because of the arab spring movement and they're not going to be happy that this power transfer deal is signed. even if it is signed, they see one corrupt government being replaced with another corrupt government. they want a change at the top. they're not happy with this mediation effort. the diplomat i spoke with, the voice of reason is dwarfed by the sounds of guns and he's very pessimistic about the country. >> live from jordan this morning, mohammed, thank you. >>> from politics to sports, to everyday

reasons that we were able to intervene, and this was because we had arab backing not only from the gcc but from the start, so i think there was a consensus certainly in the arab world that had to exist in order for them to approach us and the nato group to take action. so why can't speak to the motivations i don't think of the amorites. obviously there was -- to have their own interest as well as other interests at stake, but i think those will probably come out as history is written of the crisis but it's clear they played an important role with our colleagues >> if the infrastructure is the lifeblood of the country, and even before the regime fell there have been projects started to improve the infrastructure in the country. can you elaborate just a bit now as to what we should be expecting for the international airport in tripoli was already contracted out for improvement of expansion and the number of roads and if you have any knowledge about that situation would be very welcome. >> you're absolutely right. libya in the pre-february

main reasons that we were able to intervene, and this is because we had arab backing not only from the gcc but from the arab league from the start. so i think there was a consensus, certainly a strong consensus in the arab world, that had to exist in order for them to overtly approach us and the nato group to take action. so i can't speak to the motivations i don't think of the transit or the emirates. obviously, they have their own national interest as well as other interests at stake. but i think those will probably come out as history, the history is written of the crisis. but it's clear that they played an important role along with the emirates and along with our nato colleagues. >> obviously transportation infrastructure is the lifeblood of the country, and even before the regime fell there has been some project started to improve the transportation infrastructure in the country. can you elaborate just a bit as to what should we be expecting, for instance, the international airport in tripoli was already contracted out for improvement and expansion, and a number of roads. if you do an
