this puts a lot of responsibilities on us as leaders of the gcc, and -- i am confident our gcc will be deal with these challenges, due to our joint cooperation, and the political economic, and security spheres in order to protect our communities and to keep the aspirations of our people, and boost the welfares in our country. i think we agree together that the achievements made by the gcc, despite the importance of these achievements, but our peoples are k looking for more and more. that's why we need to double our efforts. in order to achieve the aspirations of our people, because we have everything -- we have all of the capabilities, your imaginesties, terrorism is one of the biggest threats to the international peace and security. terrorism is increasing, and the slogans are not true at all. we have seen terrorism, and terrorist crimes in so many countries, because terrorism is a real threat to every country without any discrimination between the victims, regardless of the color, their religion, or the sect. and in this regard, the international community is quite urged now to doubl

peace be upon you all >>> we're going to leave the gcc summit there. we seem to be getting a summary from the saudi arabia king calling for international reconstruction for yemen after any peace deal. obviously, one of the focuses of that conference was the security situation in syria as well with calling together a whole lot of opposition groups to talk about. obviously, the usual issues about who hasn't attended the conference was relatively pertinent. you can checkout the latest stories and so much more by going to the website, al jazeera.c jazeera.com. >> it is a place where the exotic is normal. >> it's really disturbing actually. >> but deep inside this market begins a trail of tears. endangered animals, bought and sold for big bucks. >> get it, get it lockett, get it! >> what can be done to stop this illegal trade? >> he'd actually built a secret compartment within his prosthetic leg and that is where he concealed the baby iguanas.

not only the gcc but jordan.emember the jordanian pilot who was burned alive by isis, jordanians went into a very aggressive campaign against isis for a few days, maybe a week or two, and they have taken a backseat almost in the fight against isis. it's mainly due to the fact that the campaign itself and the way the american administration is leading it, it is kind of given them--so as syria becomes more prominent in the minds of western leaders, we see the reverse on gulf nations and they prefer to focus on yemen? >> yes, absolutely. yemen is a threat to the gcc especially too saudi arabia. there is a fight going on there that they're directly engaged in. and in syria it is a proxy war. >> of course, they're worried about, you have al-qaeda and isil operating in yemen again being able to use the chaos to their advantage. but of course, saudis and the gulf coalition are more concerned about the houthis. >> the overriding concern for saudi arabia and everyone else in the gcc is iran. you know n yemen they're not f

. >>> the gcc are meeting in riyadh. arabia's king said they needed to find a solution to the conflict in syria. >> translator: regarding the syrian crisis, the kingdom of saudi arabia is hosting the syrian opposition in order to help in fining a political solution. the international community has a joint responsibility in fighting terrorism, and extremism, and the kingdom of saudi arabia has exerted a lot of efforts in this regard. we will continue our efforts with coordination and cooperation from our sister countries and friendly countries, because our islam rejects terrorism and extremism. >> we will be in riyadh in just a moment. but right now to washington, d.c., our correspondent there, rosiland jordan. ash carter he looked extremely sturdy, he was showing his and the administration's frustration with the way the campaign is going. >> reporter: that's right. and ash carter stressed the point by indicating alongside the vice chair of the joint chiefs of staff, concern that the ongoing u.s.-lead coalition against is

countries, and the gcc leaders are simply saying that -- let's discuss everything frankly, and let'sisten to each other more closely, and let's respond to the priorities of the other side, but so far the americans are ignoring in the eyes of the gulf -- gcc leaders are ignoring partly of wholly the major concerns of the most interesting or most crucial concerns of the gulf countries, including iran, and the attempt to topple assad. they think they will not be on the same page until the americans and western leaders listen to their demands. >> fascinating to get the two ends of the argument there from you mohamed vall in doha, and from rosiland jordan in washington. >>> afghan forces are continuing, we understand, to battle a taliban gunman who is involved in an attack on kandahar airport. 70 people died in the incident, and dozens more were hurt. >> reporter: this video released by the taliban is said to show the gun battle between taliban fighters and afc security forces at kandahar airport. as dawn broke the damage was easy to see. it's a heavily fortified facility. but at least te

it's been a long list of frustration on the gulf of the gcc countries. they're criticizing the u.s.e-- >> but first of all can we establish if any of the countries are involved in the bombing campaign still? >> yes, we all know that they've been involved. we also know that they've been stuck in yemen, and they need to shift their priorities. they seized to a tremendous degree their role hazard chinked with regards to syria and with regards to yemen. they think this is a priority for them. here we see the two sides are not on the same imagine in terms of priorities. the gulf countries are back in yemen, and they think they have to deal with that first, and they link it to iran, and they link that as well to a failure in their opinion on the part of western countries with regards to curb iran's influence in the region. we have the west on one hand and the gcc countries on the other hand talking about two different issues, two sets of priorities. the gulf countries in the summit today, the leaders, have been talking about the fact that the roots of these problems should be addressed fi

those talks are being held at the same time as the gcc summit.t that meeting the saadry foreign minister warned that assad will be forced out of power if he doesn't leave through negotiations. >> translator: the syrian opposition conference aims to unify the syrian opposition, strengthen their position when it comes to any negotiation and talks for a political solution, based on geneva one. that may lead to an establishment of a temporary authority that will pave the way for a new constitution, and a new future in syria, with no place at all for bashar al-assad. bashar al-assad has two options, to leave the scene through talks and negotiations or leave the scene through force. because the syrian people rejects bashar al-assad and rejects his regime in syria. >> let's bring in our correspondent who has been following the story, live for us now in istanbul. the group has been building its position as a more and more serious player in the future of syria. so how much of a blow is it to these talks that this group has decided to withdrawal? >> report

for example, the coal producing nations, and those countries like the gcc states, they need to use their resources in different ways. places like denmark who have fantastic wind resource will ebbs exploit those resources. as far as what we can do individually, the single most important thing is energy efficiency. so this is something that we don't do enough of. we think about the deploying technologies, renewable technologies or clean fossil technologies to produce more. we need to think about consuming less and consuming in a more efficient way. >> thanthank you for shedding light on this, and what it means for us all. and nia ll macdowell from the empire college london. >>> why there is unrest in east yep ethiopia. >> welcome back. you're watching al jazeera. let's update you on the top stories now. 195 countries have said yes to a landmark deal on climate change. the cop 21 agreement asked all nations to limit their greenhouse gas emissions. last minute sticking point threatened to derail talks. but since the agreement, countries have taken to the floor to praise it. >>> thetwoin swit

defense secretary ash carter called on the members of the gcc and other middle eastern countries to do more militarily against i.s.i.l. the first is to try and combat the perception that the u.s.-led air strikes against i.s.i.l. are really u.s. air strikes against i.s.i.l. they want to underscore the point that other countries have been taking part in the air war and certainly the countries that were there at the beginning, including jordan and the united arab emits should be more engaged in terms of going after i.s.i.l. fighters. the other part is this, it's to push back against domestic political pressure here in the united states where notably a number of congressional republicans want to see a more robust u.s. military operation against i.s.i.l. both in syria and in iraq. carter's mission before the senate armed services committee on wednesday was to try to persuade the senators that the u.s. military could theoretically carry out a large-scale operation against i.s.i.l., but that from a long-term practical standpoint it would be extremely ill advised >>> the conflict in syria has

the other was the gcc meeting in the saudi capitol today.had a lot of statements on syria from gulf leaders. is this a setback what we have heard going on in the syrian opposition talks? is that a set back for the hopes of gulf arab leaders? >> i don't think anybody was expecting that these talks, the syrian opposition meeting here, was going to be easy in the first place, because, you know, there are major differences between these groups who are meeting in riyadh. they come from different idealogical background. some are islamist, some of them are secular, so there are many differences between them. and there are many differences on their understanding of the [ inaudible ] constitution in the country, and also on when should bashar al-assad -- should go, and how? and so these are the major differents between them. given that they have not been able to reconcile their differences over the past five years, nobody expected them to do that within the past 24 hours. so this will take much more time and effort to bring them together to agree on

gcc countries support that. >> if you joined us, you are watching al jazeera. and we are covering the summit of the six nation gulf corporation council meeting. a meeting focussing on security. social challenges facing the countries, we have come out there from the press conference, where we saw the g.c.c. secretary-general. as well as the saudi arabian minister there, heading a press conference. betts get more insight into the summit and what actually happened there. we are joined by an analyst at the doha institute. thank you for being with us. as we heard, the foreign minister reiterating that the main point of this summit was to try to unify the gulf countries when it comes to an approach to the conflict in syria. there has been quite a lot of differences in terms of many of the gulf countries have had to compromise on their view in this. >> this summit is important. this is the first summit that all the g.c.c. countries are involved, directly. saudi arabia led the arab coalition into yemen last march, and the war there is ongoing. so i think th so i think

it kept gcc countries churning along.ed ghanem for his outlook on oil. >> the oil will not stay at this price. we can see drops just to wipe up some stops below just to show some speculators and now we have new ways of trading which is algorithm and robot trading which do interfere on their own with some criteria. you might have a move on a day, on a day but overall it will go back to stability. >> stability being 90? we're not going to see 90 again? >> possibly you might see 90, 80, 100. this is not where i want to focus. i want to focus that the world find another energy solution. we use energy. i don't see people using electricity here. no, the world is not ready for that big move so -- and then not only that, the whole region passed through five years of huge turmoil. it's not going to come -- it's not going to be -- let's say you have peace tomorrow at 9:00 in the morning. you need to rebuild, you need to re-adapt. you have very clever people in this country that knows how to manage the oil price and the demand and t

other gcc states are looking at th the ate.e to say, we just had elections in saudi arabia, is looking at asset sales, looking at privatization, looking at selling of government stakes, this would be good for the capital markets, and i assume it will happen, because quite frankly there is a much choice. looking at how education has to be a part of that, i think the private sector has been arguing for a much improved education system so the saudis are better prepared for increased competition, to work for the private sector rather than the government. perhaps disincentive for the private market to employ foreigners. perhaps cutting subsidies in fuel, electricity, looking at those issues and cutting subsidies back if not to zero then quickly as possible. guy: these guys are pegged to the dollar. you wonder how many taboos we will be talking about. how far down the road to these changes go? -- listed that wholose changes how far do you think the impact of oil is going to reach? >> its funny, because something we haven't mentioned

when you look at the price of oil, this goes back to what happens in the gcc countries where you are.raordinary moves. michael mckee, with your reading over the weekend, are these brutal moves? within the world of jean-claude these brutal moves in hydrocarbons and iron ore? to me they are. michael: they have been brutal moves, but there playing out over a long enough period of time that the fed feels it is a manageable situation. in augustwhat we saw when the chinese revalued and there was an immediate dominoes falling through the market. this has been going on for some time. it is not going to derail the fed at this point. tom: i find it absolutely -- the, the speed of speed that oil is moving. francine: i do not know whether that has an impact some of the price of oil still 40% of cost are airlines. i do not know effectives you a little bit of a refund on your ticket. you had a redeye overnight. you are absolutely right. when you look at wti crude, this has been a gradual move, but then you move the technical support at a time that we look at libya increasing the supply side. haass,

such as the united states counsel of your gcc and the united nations.he eu has taken a number of important steps in this regard including securing effective implementation of anti-money-laundering, counting financing of terrorism mechanisms, advancing the establishment of financial intelligence units, and much more. at the same time we spare no effort in stepping up interpreter does by lithuania. back in 2013, lithuania revise its legislation to bring to measure against the financing and support of terrorism, to full conformity with its international obligations as well as with the recommendations of -- [inaudible] .. significance and admirable efforts that have been made either countries neighboring the conflict zone. but we also recognize that individual states may lack capacity to address those adequately and, therefore, we support a call to our committee and the united nations to help build the capacities of states in need. thank you for your kind attention. >> i think his excellency, vice minister, for his statement a note to the floor to the repre

so this is really a chance to try to convince the members of the gcc and other middle east countries that the fight against isil is not just one for the u.s. but for the entire global community and certainly for those countries in the region particularly since isil has tried to use some parts of the sunni tenants to justify its existence and it's behavior. the idea by calling out, as it were, the gcc before the senate armed services committee is to really bring home the point that this is a fight where every country really has a stake and really ought to be putting more energy into trying to combat isil. >> and how significant are these comments from ash carter that countries in the gulf need to be doing more to combat isil? >> they are significant, maryam. that's because the u.s. has been concerned that even though the situation in yemen is a troubling situation, the efforts of the president mr. hadi to try to stay in power and to try to push back against the houthis, whom the u.s. believes are being supported by iran, they believe that the saudi-led coalition has essentially been d
