on qatar. they're going to take all kinds of, you know, qatar was going to suffer if they bought and s-400. but there was no threat major russia, and the russians sort of indicated that they're going to sell to whomever they wanted to. i'm just interested, in other words, that if this russian-qatar deal goes through how does that affect saudi russian relations? as steve was talking last time, iran which doesn't have much choice. russia, saudi arabia does and it strikes me that if, in fact, we do see an arms relationship develop between russia and qatar, that the saudis and the uae object to come and, in fact, this is going to push them more toward the united states. but i like to hear what you think about this. >> thank you, mark, very much for your question. later this afternoon w we're gog to have another panel. there's still room here, that will talk more specifically about the s-400 issue. however, you brought up some very interesting points within the question, which is really about the qa

status qatar did this, they were going to build a moat or something around qatar. qatar was going to suffer if they bought. but there was no threat made to sort ofnd russia indicated that they were going to sell to whomever they wanted. russian/qatari deal goes through, how does it affect saudi and russian relations. iran, which doesn't have much choice beyond russia, saudi arabia does. it strikes me that if in fact we do see an honest relationship delivered -- develop between russia and qatar that saudi's and the uae object to, this will push the more towards the united states but i'd like to hear what you think about this. >> later this afternoon regarding how another panel, there's still room here. specificallyk more about the as/400 issue. you have brought up some very interesting points within the question, which is really about the qatar crisis and whether it presents an opportunity or a problem for russia. i think steve said earlier today that the qatar crisis provides an opportunity for russia because of the way moscow can play multiple sides on the issue.

qatar. to work together. there have been -- these states have been tetra state, both russia -- russia is not a tetra state but it has an element of it. but the gulf countries have been there. why was it -- why was russia successful in tapping into the market and building these relations? i think the first -- there's a -- there's a regional reason for it and also microeconomic processes that happen simultaneously at the same time. first of all, the chaos that was created after -- the vacuum was created after the arab spring and united states did inteefr to the region that much. and following the complex in the region had created a vacuum and russia felt it's the right time to inteefr and to become clear in the region. but the more important process that's happening and these two processes actually eased russia's way into the gulf. the first was the oil prices multipled in 2015. -- plummeted in 2015. but what was interested, it happened at the same time when the u.s. and the west applied sanct

qatar was sanctioned by the by saudi by the saudi government it turkey stood with qatar so turks believe that there is kind of friendship and cooperation between the two of course this really has an impact on the markets says while especially following the following the results of the meeting when the markets heard that there was this huge foreign direct investment package by the cutter is it's really good in the markets really gain trust and also the turkish citizens have have gained trust in the turkish economy or of course this also and this is also a message for the international markets as well qatar as a huge investor is investing this much money in such a period of time in turkey a means that qatar believes in the turkish economy that could also give us sign for the other investors to do more investments and try again this is how the turkish government and how the turkish citizens see the situation but of course qatar is political stance with turkey qatar support to turkey has been very important for the turkish government as well because qatar is one of the very important partner

qatar national bank acquired one of the biggest banks of turkey finance bank and the bank actually is planning to expand in the next couple of years more and it is one it is the biggest third loan lender in turkey so qatar already is a very important investor in turkey even planning to expand more. let's take a step back and talk about the turkey effect emerging market currencies from india to argentina to indonesia hit major lows why is this a turkey's economy is relatively small it only accounts for about one percent of global gross domestic product to find the answer we have to go back nearly a decade ago after the end of the global financial crisis record low interest rates in the developed world meant it was cheaper for developing nations to borrow in dollars or euros about forty trillion dollars was added to the debts of emerging markets since then that's according to the institute of international finance but we are now entering an era in which central banks like the u.s. federal reserve on keeping rates low anymore and that's lending support to the dollar so as the dollar rise

as well so there is a hope there is a potential that qatar in times of crisis qatar has the potential to mediate but of course until now there is no statement by any officials from turkish or it cuts every side that there is a mediation ongoing. six years since police in south africa killed dozens of striking miners an act of police brutality often described as one of the worst since the end of the apartheid era in two thousand and twelve the miners had gathered at the lonmin platinum mine in the town of americana to demand better pay in living conditions during clashes that followed thirty four miners were shot dead by police families of the victims say they're still waiting for compensation and justice from the authorities. the german government is considering reintroducing border controls with switzerland and france it's all part of the interior minister's plan to tighten migration into germany police controls have already been reestablished or along parts of the austrian border but as dominic a new reports there may be resistance from businesses on both sides of the rhine. the vio

to settle their differences with qatar quite the contrary the second problem with such an alliance is if you take nato you have an article five which commit to the defense. of your allies the policy. has been to disengage as much as possible from its me to recommit to maturity and so here unlike europe where you have need to a need to alliance would mean that it would be very likely that the u.s. would have actually to be coming to the ground in the gulf region so that it would in the wake run contradictory to what president trim expect which is america's first meaning the he he wants to benefit from. but he want also to reduce american footprint. around worked in the region more brought up the g.c.c. crisis is even possible to create this kind of a body just kind of an alliance with the g.c.c. crisis with the embargo against what they're still on go i don't think so and i don't think there are a lot of decision makers who really think that this is going to happen they did try it in the spring to see whether it was possible but i think there has been a real disillusion particularly wi

crisis with the embargo against qatar still on go i don't think so and i don't think there are a lot of decision makers who really think that this is going to happen they did try it in the spring to see whether it was possible but i think there has been a real disillusion particularly with the saudis that all of their foreign adventures whether it's in yemen or syria that they have failed dramatically failed on the world stage and so that the the idea that the united states is going to put its all of its eggs in the saudi basket to leave the united states to leave the middle east is something that i think you unwashed. inten have any illusion is really going to work and this is the problem with with with god it dramatically show who is the failure of saudi power the saudis you not only are they found in yemen but i think their perspective in washington is they couldn't even take on doha that's not a winning strategy for the united states to to rest its entire security architecture in the persian gulf on so there are many in washington think tanks who like to talk about this there are

sanctions so it looks to a country like qatar that has cash reserves to try and help at least bail it out we've or it already seen trump impose sanctions on some other of america's key allies like canada or in the e.u. what they're trying to achieve here. well i think he's really trying to assert american leadership and perhaps we've tended to think of american aggressiveness in recent years has been probably the military involvement in places like afghanistan iraq and so on but in a way trump perhaps is less inclined to want to use military power but he wants to show that america still has particular financial who get money in the world but i think the danger for him is that by picking on so many countries simultaneously china russia iran turkey and as you say a number of nato allies like canada and the european union countries as well as turkey he risks creating a kind of axis of the sanctions axis of the people on the tariffs abraham lincoln once said to his secretary of state when he suggested that at the height of the american civil war britain was being too friendly to the south
