. —— mohammed bin salman. instincts, as we we re had followed his instincts, as we were hearing, and gone in hard. this won't mean much, i think. to expect a clear position from the arab summit on this, i think, would be asking a great deal. i don't really think that is where the action is. but as you say, the attacks themselves don't really change the course of the conflict, do they? no. the conflict has divided into a number of different battlefields, essentially. perhaps the most disturbing and worrying one is one that came the day after the suspected chemical attack, when it was reported that israel had attacked in the country, and a number of iranian servicemen were killed. israel has become much more proactive in the south of the country. it is a serious escalation of the conflict between israel and iran, as iran seems to be trying to entrench itself in the country, to be there for the long haul, right on the border with israel. that is a development which might not have been expected a year or two ago,

lifting the ban is part of a modernisation drive by crown prince mohammed bin salman.or you. when two brothers from aberdeenshire pushed their toy pirate boat into the north sea last year, onlookers might have expected it to sink without a trace in the choppy grey waters. but instead the small plastic vessel — named adventure — travelled hundreds of miles from peterhead and was found in denmark, then sweden and then norway. the norwegian navy then offered to drop the boat in the atlantic and a private company added a tracker to monitor its movements and it's shown that the boat is now off the coast of guyana. harry and ollie's father, macneill ferguson told us of his surprise at how far it had travelled. it's more than exceeded our expectations. when we initially put her out to sea at peterhead we hoped we would be lucky enough to get across the other side of the sea, but to get to three different countries was more than we could have hoped for. so the atlantic adventure has just become the stuff of dreams. it has been brilliant. the newsline to emerge from that was th

towards the other side as well because obviously things are still very strong with saudi arabia mohammed bin salman's visiting the united states has that if the relationship with qatar is strengthened has it weakened on the other side well there are two indicators of how the relationship has changed on the other side one is if you need they need out of the call between trump and the saudi king you'll see that it misses their thanks and the appreciation that was there when they need out of the call to the emir in the call to the emir the special thanks and appreciation for their meals of all in mediating the crisis and in working towards unity in the gulf. that was missing from their good outing with the king's call while on the other hand the source that was quoted in the new york times today also talked about their u.s. administration now considering the u.a.e. to be the main obstacle to ending this crisis and i think that has two important things there are two important things to say about that first of all is that even after the visit of a high profile visit of the saudi crown prince to that is sa
