at the other end of the continuum, i would suggest you could find say muslim brothers in turkey. and in iraq. as pledged to the system, and indeed, in the case of turkey, it is the system through president erdogan. so, this notion that we should labeled the muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization is as dangerous as it is idiotic, quite frankly. who are we going to talk to in iraq, in turkey westmark -- turkey? if you want to talk about an assault of a democratically elected of a nato member, that would be it. as the only organized non-state-controlled political apparatus after the fall of mubarak, we all know how that has gone since. again, i posed these questions for my colleagues to address. again, in particular the role of islamic ideology in both countries, or lack thereof. i just don't know, but we need to talk about it. that has a lot to do, in my view , with the crisis in the gulf, if you will, between saudi arabia, uae, and the state of qatar, which has i don't know how many muslim brothers, but have certainly assisted muslim brother organizations outside to the extrem

the second thing is that mohammed is not categorically opposed to all muslim brothers. example here is yemen. saudi arabia in the northern part of yemen, where it has been operating has been increasingly working with a muslim brotherhood party in yemen which presents itself as part of this wave of post- islamist groups, who have broken with three aspects of muslim brotherhood structure,, which is the revolutionary nature, conspiratorial nature, and especially above all transnational. these groups say we are not revolutionary, we don't want to change the system, we don't do anything in secret, and we are not transnational, we comment on tunisia and tunisian foreign policy. jordanian muslim brothers take the tradition, moroccan brotherhood takes this position, in the end i think saudi arabia could live up with -- end up living with this situation because they don't return to the arab spring or revolution, it doesn't threaten the state. that would potentially be the saudi perspective. uae would find all of it threatening. so that is that extension. i just want to say you ca

nickels at what is was in these little but i'll give you one of the things i don't like where the muslim brothers went well i was gone but most mothers when i was them as it up but a good one it was out on the lot of. yeah a lot of that it was quite this. evidence. that. yeah i highly doubt that this well everybody knew when they played that. as an asean they'll put up a heels outcome of well he was put in that i thought oh. we'll. just look at also is to know what's been said and it wasn't a good thing and. so was the. less you and me mike in other been the most the. last all ears daniel if you must but support for the answer for me. and a lot of them was you search as you know personas. he must be i mean. jay even looks like you will but it is just. a complete must be shipped your use of meant as he said in a little bit he knows the girls body just because jake and i mean amigos i mean just i mean i just. want to sex it goes on so you're calm cool souls and remember when she wanted to got. some as a job just the same. this year when you close on a specific just girl in this bush era where we th

it was very, very brutal to witness somebody do that to allegedly their own muslim brothers and sisters even though this was front—line filming, javier still managed to show some of the real human moments. let's not forget that civilians were under siege by the islamic state militants, and at the same time starving, suffering from malnutrition, thirst, no access to medicine for over a year and a half. we as journalists always had a ticket out, we could leave whenever we wanted, they did not have that luxury, so that is who we should remember at the end of the day. the long—standing civil war in the nuba mountains of sudan has claimed many lives. here journalists are regularly imprisoned for reporting the violence and human rights abuses. news of the atrocities in the nuba mountains rarely reach sudan's capital khartoum. winner of the news features award, roopa gogineni's unique film takes a very different approach to telling the story of war and human suffering. rather than using footage of violence and bloodshed, roopa used humour to tell this important story. she met the team behind b

i zoom in there the buckley brothers telegraph peace talks getting the muslim brotherhood. and you see that is coming from the lobbying activity well it was very senior people from the who we know we've got the e-mails who were systematically briefing key journalists who they thought would be sympathetic towards white politely calling islamophobia going on these issues and they did a lot of three things and a lot of things came as a result of that and i'm some of the stuff i guess the journalists might have done by themselves with i have been through the journalist would just say yeah at least they got a lot of help to do some of those things and so they yeah it was an also an attempt to try and marginalize those journalists who were students critical of the. democratic politics so they talked to people in the b.b.c. arabic service who they didn't like to try and get them sacked was a whole range of dissidents in this country who got asylum in this country who the loving cup company the hardin in london to drop to what is called c.s. yes crew other and he's not there anymor

this country so they try to pressurize the british government for example to investigate the muslim brothers and british government exceeded to that amount they pressured them in particular by threatening to withhold b.p. contracts threatening possibility of three billion be a systems contract so there was a lot of arm twisting and. bribery essentially and i know this is not standard lobbying i guess but this is what they did in order to get their political demands and the political among the particular to encourage the idea that the muslim brotherhood is a threat to democracy everywhere that it's a terrorist organization which is plainly absurd to in terms of the apology it should say one should say. of course it was worth it in this day. and so there was an attempt then to time marginalize to that encourage a whole lot of essentially islamophobia ideas about the role of muslims in public life try to marginalize muslims in public life but the thing that shocked me the most and i'm kind of used to that neo conservative being islamophobia but then we turn it turns out that quite a lot of this

this country so they try to pressurize the british government for example to investigate the muslim brothers and british government acceded to that demand they pressured them in particular by threatening to withhold b.p. contracts threatening possibility of three billion the systems contract so there was a lot of arm twisting and. bribery essentially and i think this is not standard lobbying i guess but.

we had the muslim brother for -- muslim relative to brotherhood come forward.a fundamentalist uprising again or an insurgency in egypt? >> i don't think there will be a fundamentalist from the muslim brotherhood. it is not a vacuum to be filled by the clerics, but it will promote a stability. repression. that is never a prescription for good things happening in a country. david: the middle east is fiendishly complicated. and has been for a long time. whats the greatest risk -- is the greatest risk? what is the threat you identify? >> the greatest near-term concern i have is that we accidentally blunder into some sort of operation against the asnians, whether it is seen a maximum pressure campaign by the administration, whether it is the sanctions that start writing, some unintended invent unintendediting, some intende event, i'm most concerned about the u.s.-iranian tension in the region right now. david: thank you so much. coming up, saudi arabia rolled out its vision 2030 plan for redirecting the country and its economy over two years ago. what is left of it

they take the position the jordanian muslim brothers take the position, and it's one that i think in the end saudi arabia could easily end up living with because it doesn't threaten a return to arab be spring or anything. >> it doesn't threaten the state. >> okay. so that would potentially be a saudi perspective. uae would find all of it threatening. there's a distinction. i want to say you can imagine that in the next decade, if erdogan emerges and is recast as part of a post-islam movement with the lacking those three qualities -- the revolutionary, conspiratorial and transnational -- that i talked about, that saudi arabia could become comfortable with that potentially or not. >> you have less than 15 minutes, so can we get into american policy now. is there a way for the united states to re-engage, to support both of these traditional allies, in a way that helps them resolve some of their differences and helps us contain our adversaries? i think turkey, for example, would not be happy with an iranian nuclear weapon. turkey is not happy with iran's expansion on the ground through t

the united arab emirates others in the gulf are talking with a side about a coalition an anti muslim brother coalition now what that means as well is an anti turkey coalition and and damascus would be eager to join such a coalition even though it's you know iran might be upset but iran understands that syria is in a different neighborhood it's in an arab neighborhood it needs saudi arabia and if there's one thing that has undermined assad's rule over the last few decades it's his enmity with saudi arabia and after two thousand and six fight between israel and hezbollah aside call the saudi. monarchs and other officials have met and this set the relationship you know spiraling downward course today of our side wants to establish is position in the middle east and to get money to rebuild stabilize syria he's going to have to suck up some of that pride and he's going to make up with the goal leaders who also have an interest in doing instability in the middle east as always good to speak with you just show landis in norman oklahoma letter now i want you to get in touch with us we want to hear f

to take down mubarak in egypt, the installation of morrisey, and then the resistance that the muslim brother had has demonstrated to the royal families both in saudi arabia and the uae. so qatar has been viewed as a destabilizing influence by the saudis and the emirates. they have supported al jazeera, a newspaper that's pro iranian and anti-saudi and a television station there as well. they have been refuge to figures in hezbollah and hamas. so the saudis had made demands over the years that qatar seize their support of these activities. qatar refused. and so the saudis instituted this blockade, along with the uae, egypt, and bahrain. and so this is a feud that has now risen to a significant level, and probably one that the saudis and emirates would resist resolving over the near term. america has a significant interest in resolving this. our largest military base is in qatar. we need the qatari's to play a role in the gulf. and they should of the no be driven into the arms of iran right now, or turkey, as a consequence of this blockade. >> from las vegas, nevada, ron, on our republican lin

muslim child of martin. my beloved profit muhammed stands in the same prophetic tradition of love and liberation as amos, as jesus of nazareth, as brotherjustice. that's all we're talking about here. i am who i am, because my momma and my daddy loved me. they love has gone into my bones and i've take than love and put it into my babies. i know what i want for my own babies, food in their bellies, a roof over their head and dignity in their bones. and we know that other folks love their babies, just as much as i love my own. this is what we mean by peace as an act of love. we should never be doing to other people's babies what we would not want them to do to our own babies. we've got to love each other enough to tell each other the truth, love and violence don't go together. love and racism don't go together. love and police brutality don't go together. love and bombs do not go together. we know that for us this radical love is not as martin would have called it, emotional bosh. the kids today would say it's not an emoji. it is the very unleashing of god on to this realm. it is this love that brought us here. it is this love that sustain
