we know saudi arabia and qatar are financing and were supporting isis and all of these other factionsin order to gain influence on the ground in syria and iraq. now they are participating in a bombing campaign against these groups that we know had financed. is this broad coalition that everyone is going on terror -- the war also allows all of these regimes themselves to exploit the war on terror for their own internal agendas. i would understand why iraqis in the prime minister has problems with these countries coming in. there's the issue of sovereignty. it is terrible because the iraqi state doesn't have control over large swaths of the country, but also as one blogger said, the iraqi airspace is now just open for bombing. >> is iraq over as we know it? >> well, iraq has been changing. iraq is disintegrating, whether we like it or not. a lot of observers think it is on its way to some type of division. iraq, as we knew it, as we know it, it has been disintegrating since 2003, even before the invasion and occupation in the system that the united states put in place perhaps accelerate

qatar has probably been the most duplicitous in many respects. he shouldn't have said it.ave great affection for joe biden, but he should have had an understanding of a statement like that and the impact it has not only with the relationship of our allies and frankly on him. and joe, as nice a guy as he is you expect more than that from the vice president of the united states. >> you are out and about campaigning for republican candidates. both sides have advantages and disadvantages. one advantage the democrats seem to have is bill clinton who is out there in fine form. i don't know if you have seen him out there. just describe what makes bill clinton a great person? >> communication, affability. i never seen anyone outside of ronald reagan, that has the ability to communicate with a crowd. when he comes before a crowd whether it is a large or small number of people, he can sense them and he starts feeding off of them and bounces back and forth. i never seen anybody who could do it, except for ronald reagan, as well as bill clinton does. and so there is a likability facto

it reflects a widely held perception that the u.s., israel and qatar are behind isis.s man is convinced it's true. it's clear, he says, the americans, with support from qatar brought satan and israel together to give birth to isis, to raise it, to allow it to exploit the weakness and hurt. the iraqi government instructed him to drop references to the u.s. and qatar, and the show goes on. before filming, makeup artists apply beard after beard. this man plays the town's imam and sees the show as an important response to isis. they in word and deed are bloodthirsty, he says. their only message is one of blood, killing people, killing the innocent. he knows only too well. one of his sons was killed in iraq, another in syria. cnn obtained an exclusive interview with the caliph or rather the man who plays him on tv. it's a dangerous and difficult role and a lot of actors turned it down, he told me, aing not to be named. we wanted to show the reality of this group. it's trying to fool people into thinking they represent true islam. but they don't. islam is a religion of toler

again, this has led, of course, to the big deviation in the gulf region between qatar, saudi arabia, bahrain and uae. this is the key issue. the way how qatar basically decided that political islam is winning, they're going to be in power, let me bank on those. they exist, this operation, in 72 countries. they have 100 years' history. is a right bet or wrong bet? i think they can judge themselves on that one. but somehow today the reason we don't have ambassador from east saudi arabia, uae back into doha is still the firm qatar position in support of the muslim brotherhood and the way how they see it and the way how they approach it closely between them and turkey in support of those groups. again, from our perspective it's been fused differently. includes this that list hezbollah in saudi arabia, but not hezbollah in lebanon. to include al-nusra, to include muslim brotherhood, of course, you know, group. but i think we differentiate between those who it is just a matter of belief or a political means. so i think it is different today in that one. but i can say one thing, of course,

particularly when it comes to a possible date change from the 2022 world cup in qatar which can result with a clash with domestic leagues. >> if we have move from summer to november to january it will be forever affecting our business, our calendar. it has to be cleared by fifa and everyone who is strongly involved in wishing to change the date that they need the good well of the club. >> reports into allegations of the bid process. qatar said it it will have technology in place to allow a summer world cup four years on from being awared the event the issue of when exactly it will be played remains unresolved. >>> a winter olympics is scheduled in 2022. those games should take place early in the year. an executive for club milan is suggesting that the olympics will have to be moved to accommodate the world cup. >> don't tell me that there is not a solution to move the winter olympics especially now where the winter olympics are still under the bidding process. >> the whole summer-winter 2002 issue raised by leaders in this sport event is not the main issue that fifa is currently facing
