qatar and its gulf neighbours have been at odds for years over a series of issues, amongst them, qatar'snship 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 arab viewers find the truth? there are two big satellite players. first aljazeera. it created a

qatar's leader began his u.k. visit at a robotics lab at london's imperial college set i mean been hammered dan had a meeting with business leaders in the city it's all part of a push by qatar to rally international support the countries under a land sea and air blockade imposed by saudi arabia u.a.e. and egypt the cooperation relationship between us is quite extensive across a whole variety of fields from. security defense investments and today of course focusing on health and health issues where we work together so it's a good visit and we encourage all our friends in the gulf to resolve their differences and we hope that can be done but since the start of the crisis qatar has not only ramped up its business. capability is but has also expanded its security and political operation with key allies such as the us france and the u.k. and this is quite crucial for qatar at a time when it continues to face a blockade imposed on it by its neighbors the blockading countries have dismissed international mediation they s

me bring in africa in london now what's your reading of this ruling do you think it's a victory for qatar. well i think it might be a victory for carter but it's an even bigger victory for the international system i think that what we're seeing here is one party using the the the the concept of the right is might and the other party is using the concept that might is right so what we have is a number of states who are allied against carter whatever the dispute between them i'm not going to comment on it but the point is that they are using political economic and other leverage to force a change of behavior of what carter has done is use the international legal systems to inforce their rights right and i go into our illegal a little timid because victory i want to ask you about a point you just made that it's very interesting i think do you think by going the legal route. is complicating a political resolution of the crisis. i think thirty could do it very much depends on how people react to it but the point i think that is inherent in this ruling is that you mustn't mix politics with peop

the united arab emirates behind and egypt on qatar. and on that point of what sort of perhaps steps are seeking from france with regard to blake breaking that blockade of course they are waiting to see of their friends could step in and try to help put an end to the political crisis in the region i mean there is a mediation which is underway by the emir of kuwait the americans have been trying over the last year to break the political impasse with no major breakthrough. france has had strong traditional ties with the united arab emirates and saudi arabia and have been sending signals over the past few months that they are willing also to try to help broker a deal but you know just a few months ago saudi arabia has been has. was reported to have said it wants funds to interfere so the qatar does not go ahead with the push to buy the four hundred and cross missile system and otherwise it might take action against the backdrop of this us collision with the chances of a diplomatic way out of the crisis remain very very small i mean the cha

the trump administration is with qatar.hey were duped into believing that qatar is doing what they were accused of doing and the administration is absolutely behind us administration is absolutely behind us and have realised that qatar is an airline, a peaceloving nation, and part of the anti— terror grouping that has been found and are led by the united states and qatar is the only signatory to anti— money laundering, anti terrorist funding agreement with the united states. have you asked the trump administration if they can then turn to the saudis and the united emirates to apply pressure?” to the saudis and the united emirates to apply pressure? i am not a politician, iam emirates to apply pressure? i am not a politician, i am the ceo of an airline but yes, my government has banned pompeo has already mentioned __ my banned pompeo has already mentioned —— my government has. pompeo has already mentioned. the eu is due to sign a new free—trade deal with japan later today. the pact will remove almost all tariffs with the eu

again, qatar thoroughly denying these claims.e because it is not a great line. richard conway, our sports correspondent. storms and flooding disrupted road travel and caused flights to be cancelled yesterday as the uk heatwave came to an end. some air passengers experienced delays of up to 20 hours, and travellers queued for miles on the m20 to board eurotunnel trains after the air—conditioning failed. the met office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of england and wales today. simon calder, travel editor of the independent, has been keeping track for us. just talk us through what the worst problems are facing travellers. very much at stansted airport and ryanair, they much at stansted airport and rya nair, they have much at stansted airport and ryanair, they have cancelled today so ryanair, they have cancelled today so fara ryanair, they have cancelled today so far a dozen flights to and from that essex airport, some of them passengers to barcelona, poland, dublin, they only found out effectively as they got to the a

qatar denies this.s. this was the end of an ordeal that began when they were kidnapped while hunting with falcons in iraq. could getting them back have cost $1 billion? the largest runs in history. the qatari ambassador in baghdad conducted negotiations with his brother, listed by the us as terrorist. they all want money says the text apparently sent by the ambassador. this is their chance, they are exploiting the situation. his brother iraq were holding the qataris. one of the group's leaders demanded payment friend selfish negotiations were to go forward. that's the claim in a voice mail attributed to the ambassador. in another voice mail he goes on... iran, which arms and trains his brother got involved through a man who is himself under sanction. at one stage it seems, the astonishing sum of $1 billion was on the table. he met with the kidnappers yesterday, the ambassador text the foreign minister and pressure them to ta ke foreign minister and pressure them to take the $1 billion. how much cash was

residents of qatar in other countries which are participating in this blockade. yeah it's a good question because obviously on a legal basis they are not signatories to the conventional the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination they're not legally bound to be following the same kind of stringent guidelines that the u.a.e. is but without doubt any ruling here the i.c.j. that affects the u.a.e. is also symbolically going to send messages to egypt to saudi arabia to bahrain clearly going to be looking at this with an awful lot of interest whether or not they will respond to where their ally in this blockades the ruling against their ally in this world we really have to wait and see. and getting a little bit analytical now looking at the provisional ruling that the source of points which we've both summarized about how the u.a.e. must stop separating families allow students to continue their education and give catteries access to a proper justice system if they feel their rights have been infringed upon that for that to now be enforced it's going to take

british pilots who are going to protect the skies above qatar during the two of the. twenty two football world cup which is going to be hosted by qatar indeed there's been some rather interesting if somewhat musing publicity about an attempt to rent a group of anti qatar protesters i mean what are you hearing about this. as you know where i'm standing now the. ten downing street and we were expecting protesters if they were going to show up just a few steps from where i said we haven't seen a single protest for the time being it could be an indication that organizers particularly after the revelations made by many british newspapers they would like to prevent further embarrassment and humiliation and i have to say that over the past few months i was personally in places like germany where. the emirate is on the saudis were organizing an anti a qatar event but no one showed the event and therefore they went to an agency and told them we want to fill up the room with people to give the impression that this is very genuine unfortunately one of the. one of the producers w

qatar have rejected what they say, they say they reject, the qatar bid team say they reject, the qatarretty comprehensive denial. it is but i think this is a great story for so many reasons, obviously, world cup fever overtaking us again as it a lwa ys fever overtaking us again as it always does this summer, but such biased concerns, if i can put it like that, about qatar, i would probably like to see it's not be held in qatar just probably like to see it's not be held in qatarjust because i am worried about the times of when the matches will be. i think lots of readers of the sunday times will be, and will wrap up this story. sunday mirror, more on the novel chock story, more deadly novichok on the streets, according to this. —— novichok. two pairs of people were injured with novichok, the skripals and the two people who picked up a bottle of novichok. their bottle was unopened, sealed, now that means that in the view of the counterterror operation, there must be two sets of novichoks going around and so there could be some on the streets of salisbury, which could pose a health hazard

and egypt severed diplomatic ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and blockade qatar alleges that its citizens were either illegally expelled or denied access to the u.a.e. where they have families own property i think it's highly likely that these which court justice will accept are stiction and so what qatar is seeking at this stage is is more of a cease and desist order so to prevent any further violations and to remedy compensate those that have suffered. the blockading countries accuse qatar of funding extremism accusations strongly dismissed by doha the u.s. fears a prolonged crisis would undermine its push to contain iran's growing influence and defeat eisel i think it continues to be fractured and and dangerous i mean the amount of weaponry that's been poured into the region. basis the language is escalating particularly given john bolton's push against iran e. this legal action is made possible because of the four blockade in countries u.a.e. is the only one to have signed up to the nineteen sixty five international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrim
