the gulf crisis did not come out of the blue.ours have been at odds for years over a series of issues, amongst them, qatar's working relationship with iran and its support for some groups active in the arab uprisings of 2011, like the controversial muslim brotherhood in egypt. the qatari station, aljazeera, was a prominent broadcaster of the arab spring. managing director giles trendle believes their coverage was a cause of the current coverage. aljazeera was on the street, it was listening to the people, we were reporting on these events as they were taking place and i think there are some regimes tha found that to be threatening and disruptive and i think the forces of change, the popular demands were a threat to some regimes and i think it is maybe now payback time. now those tensions were being played out in a battle of words and pictures on the region's main satellite tv stations. the saudi funded station, al arabiya, claimed... the state owned qatari tv channel hit back. as their governments traded accusations, where could

what is the purpose behind the gulf nations run architecture and art. because they are museums we do actually have a very open and diverse look into the audience the culture what we need to bring we do bring things into the country from different cultures but we also take things to different cultures like this to actually see what we are and who we are actually the our plan is to continue making museums and continue showing our collections and showing educating the public about the different times different histories different cultures that we've all been through. here in doha many people collect art including the ruling family attorney in terms of cultural investment counter is among the world's leaders although it's a small country only some twenty thousand square kilometers in size. today is a public holiday and everyone is out and about both the qatari citizens and the many hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from india and pakistan and many other countries. qatar believes in education for everyone and entire new city district has emerged you k

well the world's supply of oil continues to flow out of the gulf donald trump ultimatum to importers stop iranian shipments by november or face u.s. sanctions iran hits back by volume to block the straits of hormuz as the rhetoric heats up over a crude what's the cost this is inside story. a welcome to the program. donald trump's nuclear reaction is threatening to turn off the taps in the world's major oil supply the white house is threatening countries which import iranian oil to stop shipments by november or face u.s. sanctions if that happens the iranians are vying to stop all exports from the gulf including from the number one supply of saudi arabia foreign ministers from france germany britain china and russia are expected to meet at radian diplomats on friday in vienna they'll be discussing how to salvage the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal which trump withdrew from two months ago from al-jazeera as alan fischer at washington. really in president has been a two day visit to switzerland one of the main topics of conversation the u.s. decision to violate the iran nuclear deal by

this was the first permanent settlement by france in the gulf of mix mexico area. if you look at this plan, it should look familiar because new orleans is laid out on a similar grid with your church in the middle and a prom understand. prom en add >> this is a sugar plantation. they are hoping that new orleans makes them money. one of the most interesting aspects of this drawing is that you, in addition to seeing all of the aspects required for sugar production, you in the foreground also get to see the treatment of the en slaved population. the african population that was taken as captives from africa to the new world. he is being held by a rope by another individual and then this is likely the overseer and this is the slave driver with whip in hand. >> this is giving you a glimpse of some of the instruments that were used as they were navigating the atlantic ocean. this gives you a great cross section of what a ship would have looked like on the inside. and over here we actually have a travel log by a young man who came to new orleans in 1721 and this is a waterc

sanctions if that happens the iranians are vowing to stop all exports from the gulf including from the number one supply of saudi arabia foreign ministers from france germany britain china and russia are expected to meet at radian diplomats on friday in vienna they'll be discussing how to salvage the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal which trump withdrew from two months ago from al-jazeera as alan fischer at washington. really in president has been a two day visit to switzerland one of the main topics of conversation the u.s. decision to violate the iran nuclear deal by pulling out now the u.s. wants countries to boycott really you know oil as part of stronger international sanctions the president has done rouhani has appeared to threaten the oil exports from other middle eastern countries if the u.s. pushes ahead as nice as it is incorrect in unwise to imagine that somebody or producer countries will be able to export their surplus oil in iran would not be able to export its oil now really and fishes have threatened to disrupt oil shipments in the past to do so they would target the st

the hope that one will hit a mine and that will fry it in other than cars from coming through the gulf or by an iranian threat to damage it tanker or some bankers which are prevent tank at us from all around the word from coming to the gulf area across the state of our owners and thus. preventing oil supplies coming out it will have the same effect on. of an oil prices by raising oil prices possibly one to one twenty one thirty dollars during the crisis but of course prices will go back to normal afterwards so the threat should be taken seriously and there are other methods iran can use and a member of that there are several tadg methods which it i can use and saudi arabia has the biggest oil is set is sions in the eastern part of saudi arabia on the gulf so any sub with cash bought a ticket in the us and nora the biggest loading being held in the world would impact very effectively on saudi exports to add to that and remember that most of the gulf countries have no other that they have but to use the set of formulas with the exception of the united out up and that it which has built t

so this was the first permanent settlement by france in the gulf of mexico area. this was the newer settlement. if you look at this plan it should look familiar to anyone who has been to new orleans because new orleans is laid out on a similar grid with your church in the middle and a promenade. so this is the later settlement of new mobile and if we move over to -- this is the original settlement, old mobile. they founded this was not a good site for their settlement so they moved it up river to a different location. during new orleans' earliest years the settlement was a little bit more than a backwoods town, but what it was doing was envisioning what its future was going to look like. one of its versions of its future that people wanted to see was it develop into a prosperous colony similar to haiti. what we are looking at now is a view of haiti, this is a sugar plantation. this is the world that new orleans at least the european settlers and colonists aspired to be. this is a prosperous sugar plantation. they are hoping that new orleans makes them money. one o

in the gulf, we are facing the possibility in the long-term that the gulf will become a dangerous environment for the navy there. crisis, we may not want to put strike troops in the gulf. the capabilities that iran is developing, and the constrained to geography may make it too dangerous to operate there. that is just a fact of life. it does not mean we cannot deal with the threat, it will just be more difficult in the future. the most important thing to deal with, we have been focused on the middle east uninterruptedly for decades now. that is no longer the case. we have the russians, the chinese, the north koreans vying for resources of our military, intelligence resources, as well as the and intentions of our decision-makers. as a result, we cannot focus on this part of the world as exclusively as we have in the past, and our resources -- this is a fact of life. challenging international environment, especially preparations for the possibility of conflict with north korea have had an impact on what we can do in the middle east. the countervailing missile defense has improved dramatically i

we might not want to put strikes in the gulf. iran isbility that developing and the constraint geography may make it too dangerous for them to operate there. that's just a fact of life. deales not mean we cannot with the threat, it will just become more complicated in the future. we have been able to focus on the middle east on a rep diddley -- uninterruptedly for the last 30 years. koreans andnorth others competing for our intelligence sources and the intelligence. our resources will be split greater -- with more theaters. the preparations for the possibility of a conflict with north korea have had a big impact on what we are willing to do in the middle east. these countries leaning factors say -- contravening factors i would say iran's ability to threaten our allies have outstripped the ability of the missile defenses to be effective, probably. improvements,ome but in some areas the iranians have not been able to respond, it is much more complimented -- complicated than in the past. >> david? in the order of where you spoke? di

in some regions, like the gulf of mexico, recreational fishers currently take home 70% of the gulf's most popular fish. recreational anglers land an overwhelming majority of amberjack, king mackerel, spotted sea sea trout and trigger fish and for the gulf red snapper the division of quota between the recreational and seafood sectors is a more balanced situation, roughly 50-50. so with that, mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of the time. the chair: the gentleman from alaska is recognized. mr. young: all due respect to my friends on the other side of the aisle, they're polluting the opposition of this bill from interest groups that don't have any interest in commercial fishing period. let's be real about this. what hurts me, i've heard, while they say it removes science from fisheries. let's explore this. no one's listening, but that's ok. for starters, the word science and data appear 34 times throughout the bill. section 207 directs the councils to establish a plan for cooperative research that brings together a wide variety of high-quality, non-federal data to support existing data

france is a country which has established traditional ties with the main gulf countries saudi arabia the united arab emirates in particular with arms dealers and also they are some of the key clients are. expecting the emir of qatar to arrive any time soon now of the to meet with background so i think the french with their traditional ties with those countries are hoping to be able to step in to try to negotiate a political settlement the americans have tried in the past but you know we're talking against the backdrop of an escalation the has been going on particularly saudi arabia which has reportedly warned it might take action if qatar goes ahead with the purchase of the a russian made as four hundred and cross systems we're talking about mounting tension in the region remains to be seen whether the french would be able to step in and succeed where the americans have failed but this crisis is an ongoing concern for the international community the americans have said that there is absolutely no way that can defeat i sell or restore stability in the middle east unless the crisis is

four hours later that's not really happened rob let me ask you about some context in terms of the gulf region because obviously the u.s. is not the only country that has interests in links and connections with israel how do you think this is going to influence the politics in the movements within the more local region. well listen jared cushion our son in law the president as you know rob and senior advisor went around the gulf and was trying to put together this grand peace plan i think this move by the israeli government puts that only as sheep in history i don't know where they go with this as far as the gulf states are concerned it really if there is one potential outcome here it really sets up the young amir of qatar amir off really sets him up as a potential broker of some sort of an agreement because you know he's got relationships the qataris have relationships with everybody right now and i think the saudis and you know be there at a different a much different position with this the other effect it's going to have is with prince. prince m.b.'s in in saudi arabia because he's n

gulf forces at the time. we also have people like joseph who is a refugee from the haitian revolution from the island of sando ming. who helps put together almost 260 free men of color to create a battalion onthere. in terms of numbers of people that were out here, it's accepted that 7,000 british troops were here during the ground assault and somewhere around 4,000 american soldiers. so it was a pretty overwhelming in terms of the amount of british compared to the americans. one thing to keep in mind as well is that the british were professional soldiers. they'd been fighting in europe, a lot of them were very decorated military men. as were the americans, even though we had 4,000 troops, 3/4 of that were men who didn't have a lot of experience. one professional soldier didn't have a lot of experience. so the first kind of conflict between u.s. soldiers and british soldiers out here near the battle of new orleans actually happened during the night attack of december 23. jackson had found out from gabriel, wh

the mood in the gulf was very intense. the mood in the gulf was very tense. in the middle of a war at the time. us navy was protecting the oil tankers that came out of kuwait to make sure the flow of oil kept coming to the united states and the iranians were harassing those ships. the boghammer speedboats that the iranians were using, they would round—robin the ships while they are shooting it, trying to catch it on fire. so ourjob was kind of like a police force, if you will. the team i was with was combat camera group. i'm videotaping the whole time. and i caught a ride with the uss vincennes, a cruiser, a billion—dollar boat, state—of—the—art at the time. as we were sailing back to bahrain, we got into battle with iranian speedboats. all hands man your battle stations. during a gunboat battle, we thinking they're going to come at us with whatever they have now, and that would have been their air force. the year before, 1987, the uss stark got hit by an exocet missile that was launched by iraq. we were always reminded, remember the stark, remember the stark
