of austria the climate here is rough and inhospitable the winters long nevertheless this region has been inhabited for thousands of years so what is it that keeps people here the answer is to be found deep inside the mountain. the center is a precious commodity salt was first mine here over three thousand years ago and it is still mine today that in fact is the oldest salt mine in the world the salt mine is a prehistory left behind this rope made of linden bast splinters of pine wood and torches have also been found in many places inside the mine. all traces of early mining activity are astonishingly well preserved. what did not for the fact that salt has preservatives property has fines like this sackville carrying rock salt would have disintegrated long ago even this finest edged fur can survive down the ages. the ancient mynahs used pickaxes to hack out the salt but no one knows just why the excavated areas aha changed. so who were these mysterious minus who lived in prehistoric times the high valley in front of the mine also contains many traces of their existence the more than

those sentiments are especially strong in the region's industrial cities.y to l'hospitalet, on the outskirts of the catalan capital, barcelona. this area has a long history of migration from the rest of spain. most people here speak spanish before catalan, and few back independence. i've been invited to meet the local history society to find out how the area's history influences attitudes to independence. 0n the day of the referendum, jesus stayed at home. manuel, whose parents came to catalonia in the ‘60s, thinks the attitude of an older generation of catalan leaders towards the incomers remains a problem for present—day independence campaigners. in december, elections to the catalan parliament were held and people in places like l'hospitalet came out in large numbers to assert their spanish identity at the ballot box. pro—independence parties kept their majority but, for the first time, the largest party was pro—spain. deposed catalan president carles puigdemont missed the election. after the declaration of independence, he fled for brussels. in march, h

region and not surprisingly the middle east as a the two priority regions for the united states, but, again, as we looked at the problem, again, there was sort of -- it was not necessarily -- i don't mean to grade your homework, by the way, chip, but -- but -- but it was not necessarily seen as a complete, you know, as complete a rebalance as probably was necessary given the nature of the competitive environment. so it just gives you a little background. the current study that i'm working on now with the gracious support of user pac and paycom and others to take a look at the paycomaor, the ipac aor and we answered a simple questions. what are the simple questions for creating an advantage in a new more creative advantage in the paycom and pacific aor, and in light of thoseundamentals where do we currently stand with the privatesy and funding within that region? i'll give you five insights and get off the stitch. insight number one. there are really two cop tests that are likely to determine u.s. competitive -- the u.s. competitive future in the indo-pacific. the first contest is a r

that regional center needs to be terminated. so if that statement is true, and if the facts turn out that they really have no intent to promote economic growth, that should be the end of that regional center. >> so a general question about how prevalent is this type of scheme. how many regional centers do you estimate are engaged in simply brokeraging of american citizenship as opposed to economic development and job creation? >> i don't have any numbers for u right now. but i think that it is a problem that -- i mean, the whole point of the eb-5 program and in particular the regional center program, is to get capital money into places where it is hard to obtain. like rural areas or targeted employment areas. that's the goal. to get capital into those places. and a lot of people, i think, are ung eb-5 program, yes, nominally, they set up a regional center for that purpose, but they make a lot of money in the process. they exact fees from the petitioners. they exact fees from the entities that receive funds. they make money off t

that are region faces.ck has always tried to maintain at least a vision of how we see the future, stability, and security of that region. there has been a fundamental shift for disagreement in terms of how we see the future of this region, and the direction they have decided to go with its decisions in terms of its politics, who it has decided to support, how it is in our view not done what we had hoped it would do with regards to combating terrorism, combating the financing of terrorism, and sharing the vision we have what we feel all of us should have, for the stability of our region. that is at the heart of this dispute. these issues are quite deep, but these issues have been going on now for months. i hope that ultimately this matter gets resolved and i hope at the end of the day that we are all one family. saudis, egyptians, kuwaitis, we are all one people. david: some of the rhetoric out of the u.s. government, has that been a concern to people in the middle east about muslims, or is that political rh

out what seemed to be a coordinated campaign to put pressure on qatar the political crisis in the region played out in an unusually public way and over the past year a spat that would have traditionally been managed behind closed doors was aired across the news media coverage designed to portray guitar as a regional sponsor of terrorism and the lessons i did the up on with. a lot of i'm going to look we're going to hold low. an unofficial go to colombia doha has refused to see to any of its adversaries demands among them the closure of this network al jazeera or as the gyptian news anchors call the network can zero the pig in the media battle has not just been waged within the reach it has spread across the united states where both sides hit the airwaves with official voices to fight in their corners and in the case of guitars and they are to defend his country's news network when he tells me to close a channel like a history were right one day in fifty or sixty seventy years how it changed the whole idea of free speech in the region however most of what's been going on in washington has

aboutbr was fundamentally the asia-pacific region. in the time we did the study, as a result of the queue er, that was the first reorientation. had the obama administration's rebalancing of the issue. again, as we looked at the problem, and i don't mean to grade your homework, ship, but seen as a necessarily complete rebalance as probably was necessary given the nature of the competitive environment. the current study we are working we are answering simple questions, what are the fundamentals for creating advantages in a new, more competitive environment? and what of those fundamentals? in thatcurrently stand region? i will get you -- give you five more insights. are twone, there theests likely to determine u.s. competitive future in the indo-pacific. the first is a regional security, politico -- political-security division. one contested division for increasesic security , theity miss -- security status quo u.s. vision for pacific security. those are two competing visions that are actively being contested. the second contest, that we

or to create any disturbance in the region is just unacceptable so. is going to treat this. the same way they have we have treated their legal blockade we are going to seek or the international forum to make sure that this behavior is not repeated. right so it's about here in doha we're starting at qatar of the cultural village here in doha with our reporter stephanie hi stephanie how would you describe the mood of people not just there but the mood of people in the country these days one year after the blockade began. people are just starting to trickle in here it is of course if we're seeing a couple of people arriving notice full as it will be in a couple of hours but the people we have spoken to many of them actually not aware that this is the one year anniversary but of course everyone aware of this blockade the mood in the country as we both know is one of defiance one of the girls said you know we will remain strong you know the impact of it the consequence of it is that this country really rallied behind its leadership behind the america behind the government cut tha

this brought cata la ns to downgraded the region.g they should decide how they should be governed. the catalan leader at the time warned madrid demands for independence would increase. after last year‘s referendum, empty ballot boxes were carried in the street. many boats confiscated by the police were never counted. those that were accounted for just 42% of the population, as pro— spain voters stayed at home. those who did take pa rt stayed at home. those who did take part overwhelmingly backed independence. but triumphal street was short lives as europe refused to recognise the results. —— shortlist. —— short lived. in the weeks that followed the world waited to see whether catalonia would declare independence unilaterally. rumours circulated that ca rles unilaterally. rumours circulated that carles puigdemont was ready to pull back and call elections, at the cata la n pull back and call elections, at the catalan president came under pressure from supporters of independence. and on the 27th of 0ctober, after crowds had waited for h

the regional capital to move is full to bursting with paramilitary police. and the other when your region there's this sense that there's a violence that is out of control and that should be somehow addressed by the authorities. of course it's not that we validate the violence are being committed in the region but you cannot use that as an excuse to go over human rights. a group of militant preaching calling itself according to dora rather come a yank or come is engaged in a campaign of sabotage against the logging industry which it say's is destroying the environment. so far no one has been injured but the group has caused millions of dollars in damage. the government has responded by invoking an anti terror law drafted joining the time of former dictator general pinochet. it's affects the whole community they are out violently they raid every house or they throw tear gas loved clear why. one very recent case affected a preschool that was in class with little children the side that were all affected by the tear gas in some cases had to be taken to hospital.

conflicts by proxy and so on so forth that the most stable region region within the greater middle east the gulf region would have to and would have to suffer from such tensions and needed tensions really because a year ago now we know for a fact that the qatar news agency was hacked that there was a conspiracy in fact to undermine cutter. to plant fake news and fake statements and to eventually humiliate and besiege it and take it over now all of that failed now when that fails after the besieging countries imposed thirteen very difficult conditions that basically couldn't be met because they do fight it's the sovereignty of an independent nation it's very difficult for those countries to back out to. climb down the tree as it were because the bar is too high they are too proud qatar is a much smaller nation and was able to pull out of all of that so i think now we are in perilous is basically qatar has not lost their refuse to admit their loss and so which is going to wait and see and with the americans in september trump will mediate a summit you know against the backdrop of the unit

scheme that schemes that do not actually fit into the perception of regional security but politically jordan and saudi arabia don't exactly see eye to eye do that a lot of differences between them all absolutely i mean there are the first one hour the first file is the arab israeli conflict or the ultimate deal of this a lot of problems of differences between jordan and saudi arabia and secondly the position when it's come visit really the muslim brotherhood jordan is very amicable to. deal with them in a very positive constructive way why the saudis. declare that they are terrorist groups oh and also the war in yemen and jordan is now a part of it so there's a lot of probably anger on the part of the saudi but this is you know this pale when it compared to what's going to happen to them if jordan god forbid get into an anarchy and insecurity there so this is the message the message to the saudis to the gulf is that you know helping jordan is in their best interest professor good to talk to you but he sixty for being with us. at least fourteen people have been killed in government air

to regional security. in the months that followed the u.s. state department signed two memorandums of understanding with qatar underscoring the ties between the two countries especially the joint efforts to defeat terrorism . in paris saudi arabia's foreign minister. said that the damage caused by economic measures should convince qatar to change its policies we want to see qatar implement the promises it made a few years back with regard to support for extremist groups with regards to its hostile media with regards to its interference in the affairs of other countries and we have taken this step. with great pain in order to make sure that the turn to stands that these policies are not acceptable not sustainable and that they must change across the gulf states the sanctions and restrictions imposed were now hitting hard and directly affecting individuals and businesses many countries who have family and term times in the neighboring countries who are now cut off and banished. in the hospitals and clinics the harsh embargo was now affecting pa

leader has qatar as a force of stability in the region and trump who also me. saudi arabia's crown prince behind but. around the same time expressed concerns about the fallout from the crisis it's a very unstable region and the gulf has always been the most stable part of an unstable region and this crisis is kind of thrown this region into a quagmire the that it didn't have to be and i think the tremendous treasure realizes that you know at least we have to provide one pall of stability and the center of gravity of the arab world in general has been the gulf in recent years so why the region the crisis there is something that had to be avoided at all cost. trump has invited the d.c.c. leaders to meet in the u.s. in the hope of finding a political solution but that invitation has been delayed the located in countries in says no talks will take place until qatar meets the demands. is iraq. let's move on to other news now on donald trump's former campaign manager has been accused of witness tampering prosecutors say a poor man a ford who's been indicted by u.s. s
