saudi arabia to be its point man in the region of course it has its israeli we have the saudis and the israelis very close together but there's one problem with all that in that is turkey and now a nato ally here i mean what's going to happen there because there is an enormous amount of friction here and it's all summed up in one word kurds go ahead sami. i think at the end in mind when it comes to the united states of america has been said to clearly by their chief of the pentagon general davis and he's kind of sitting there. for. interests in iran so the goal is facing iran now the problem is that united states of america does not have to do was. to face to iran iraq and syria it's true that they could rely on a proxy. in iraq but this has limit because supporting the kurds. and here i mean you can understand the position of secretary of state who try to set the bridge is russia because washington needs russia to pressure on iran or to limit or or on iran at least in syria so because of obama administration policy or do it was that all were from. lack of clarity. washington lost a lo

do you believe saudi arabia supports isis? >> i believe that a lot of saudi money -- >> rose: not by the government. >> in fact some of them are in c harge oaf saudi intelligent services we know al-qaeda when they engaged the soviets was a child of saudi intelligence services. taliban will recognize, the taliban government which was sponsored al-qaeda was only recognized by three states. two of them were united states and even ruts. >> rose: the other was pakistan you said. >> that's a neighbor. i don't want to deal with them because they have their own because as a neighbor they have a problem. but for saudi arabia and the united arab emirates because s taying far away because pakistan isn't able and some other countries in the former soviet union are neighbors. but saudi arabia and united emirates are not even close but they support it. they recognize it. the money, and it's clear, just ask any intelligence person money that went to isis, most of it came from these countries. well more importantly -- >> rose: not from the gov

do you believe saudi arabia supports isis? vad sharif: i believe a lot of saudi money went to support these organizations. some of them are children of saudi arabia intelligence services. we know al qaeda, when it engaged the soviets, was a child of saudi intelligence services. government, which was sponsoring al qaeda, was only recognized by three states. two of them were saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. charlie: the other was pakistan. javad sharif: well, that's a neighbor. as a neighbor, they have a problem. but for saudi arabia and united arab emirates, staying for -- far behind and far away from the actual scene, because iran is a neighborhood -- iran is a neighbor, pakistan is a neighbor, some of the other countries in the former soviet union are neighbors, but saudi arabia and united arab emirates are not even close. but they support it. they recognize the government. the money -- and it's clear. ask any intelligence person. the money that went to isis, most of it came from these countries. but more importantly

charlie: i see what you're saying with respect to saudi arabia. they do raise the question. t: very nicely. but not a single saudi individual is designated by the united states -- and i do not like them to be designated, because i believe it is the wrong policy. i do not believe it is the right policy. but just to compare, not a single individual in south where human beings are beheaded has not been under investigation. that tells you a lot about these u.s. concerns about iranian behavior, because those concerns -- charlie: it is more a question of geopolitics that it is of values. guest: it is only a question of geopolitics. we lived under the shah. i had to escape to live in the united states because of the violation of human rights. charlie: let us assume the united states should speak out against human rights violations not only in -- with its allies, but within its own country. human rights ought to be the guide regardless of whether they are friendly -- friend or foe. is, for iran, for instance, that is where we derive legitimacy and our security and our economic well-b

let's start with saudi arabia. now let's get our panel's thoughts. any views on this matter? >> absolutely. let me tell you about our friends the saudis. this is the country where when a girl's school caught on fire, rather than rescuing them, the religious police sent them back inside to cover, and girls literally burned to death because they weren't properly covered before coming outside. our friends the saudis. look, sometimes there's a tension between supporting our values and supporting allies who may have our interests in the region, but now with the growth of energy production in this country, we don't need these people. there's no excuse anymore. steve: what do you think about that? there is the argument, there is a policy thing iremember working in the government, we have to suck up to these people because they help us with intelligence cooperation, even at the same time they are promoting the terrorism that intelligence is supposed to guard against. >> the saudi regime is reprehensible, no denying that. on the other hand, i'm sorry to say i

government between saudi arabia that our governments do not want to inconvenience so they do not want to interrupt this report that we're requesting to be released would be a very inconvenient truth to both governments this report makes clear connections between terrorist financing and the government of saudi arabia right now we are in a legal case with saudi arabia and at stand right now we're going to court and court in the united states and we hope that court is really the only way that we think that the truth will prevail is just another small setback for us we've been facing setbacks for the past sixteen years but we don't give up we think that ultimately light needs be shed on terrorism and this report will be that. good intentions without proper knowledge behind them sometimes real them thar i think was and that's exactly what happened with the new road safe account paying by transport for london. no all of those head scarves i don't wear a headscarf and i know many people many of the people who don't that is not a function on who we are as muslims muslim women come in all shap

saudi arabia has repeatedly denied any involvement in the nine eleven attacks but the eagle son lost his father in the tragedy he says the fact the u.k. report is being kept secret shows otherwise it's very clear to us and all the nine eleven family members that there is a relationship that exists between our government and the u.k. government between saudi arabia that our governments do not want to inconvenience or they do not want to interrupt this report that we're requesting to be released would be a very inconvenient truth to both governments this report makes clear connection between terrorist financing and the government of saudi arabia right now we are in a legal case with saudi arabia and as i stand right now we are going to court and a court in the united states and we hope that is really the only way that we think that the truth will prevail is just another small setback for us we've been facing setbacks for the past sixteen years but we don't give up we think that ultimately light needs to be shed on terrorism and this report will be that. good intentions without proper k

saudi arabia makes a concession. we talked about the economic outlook for qatar with mohammed sergei. guest: the selling points for qatar over the past come of years that as oil prices decline and affect all the countries in the reason, qatar continues to grow faster than it. -- qatarbeen its continues to grow faster than its peers. it appeared to grow faster than the reduced forecast of 2.5%. the reason is that qatar is spending $2 billion on infrastructure upgrades to host the world cup, so that has moved the needle a little bit. the embargo has absolutely affected forecasts for this year. it is interesting to see how that will play forward that layout going forward. shery: expectations are high for growth in 2018. re: economists adopted? -- are economists adapting? are they expecting the economy of qatar to adapt to the boycott eventually? guest: the really important factor at play here is the assumption that tensions will not be escalated and the conflict will not be escalated. if it continues at the current traj

has long had with saudi arabia this marriage of convenience cozy relationship that has led to decide to not reveal this information again and again we have to say that obviously this is something that the british government denies but does have quite a history of protecting the special relationship they have with saudi arabia the u.s.s. john f. mccain came back to port but ten if not the navy destroyer rammed into oil tanker just east of singapore the collision with a tanker ripped through the destroyers hole causing flooding in some areas of the ship including the crew sleeping quarters the navy dispatched the u.s.s. america to singapore to aid in searching for the ten missing sailors at least five sailors were injured it's the second such incident this summer seven u.s. sailors died in a crash off the coast of japan and. the national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for chesapeake bay from drum point it would just move point virginia chesapeake bay from north beach to drum point maryland and river to cambridge maryland in the middle child and

saudi arabia's complicity is hidden from sunlight the longer terrorism will continue well the british government has long maintained really for months now that diplomatic relations with saudi arabia have nothing to do with this decision to not reveal the contents of the report they've also said that it's actually reasons of national security as well as private information contained in the report that's keeping them from publishing it and they've also said that the media has been misinterpreting this relationship with saudi arabia when it comes to this report let's take a listen to what theresa may had to say. at some point bush explained to her refusal is simply because the contents of the report would embarrass the government's friends in saudi arabia or is it because ministers chiromo about arms sales to riyadh than they do about public safety. it is absolutely nothing to do with the reason there is certain confidential information in the reports that means that it would not be appropriate to publish it but mine runs on the friend the home secretary has made it available on a pretty

yousef: what about outside of saudi arabia? saudi arabia is the heavyweight.you seeing in terms of economic trends in countries like uae, where property prices, car sales are the kinds of indicators you'd be looking for? we've seen a bit of a sideways phase lately. guest: indeed. one sector that has been outperforming in the uae has been the construction sector. we get that data from our pmi. the construction sector has been outperforming largely on the back of projects for 2020. there have been pricing challenges in a lot of the sectors, particularly retail. we have seen also the tourism sector in particular, a big rise of tourism the first half of this year for dubai. a 10% rise in tourism. a lot of that wasn't that of cutting prices in terms of getting more business. that moves into how do businesses adjust to that? the answer is that margins across the region were high to start with. even if you are seeing margin compression, it is happening from a high base. there is still this ability to adjust. shery: also the big question would be, given the demand env

the problem is that saudi arabia, isis is an enemy for saudi arabia. al qaeda is a long-term enemy, although it seems to be an idea from al qaeda that if it is not attacked the kingdom directly, the kingdom will not attack it directly. saudi arabia is in a different position though, because they draw some legitimacy from a partnership with the wahhabi doctrine, so there should be pressure on saudi arabia as it goes through these reforms, as we are looking at the rise of a new regime in saudi arabia under the crown prince to started dressing the real problems that saudi arabia, as a partner, presents with the united states. wish and not give them a blind pass for what they are doing it we need to apply equal pressure on it to change, as the saudis apply pressure on the qataris to change. moderator: let's go to the back first and then move up here. >> i work in the private sector but have an interest in this subject. i came in late, so you might have discussed this. how do you make the argument to the country when we're in an environment with stretched r

ok so it's here that's australia you're someone that's saudi arabia. forget me i'm hopeless it's for a it's. around here around there yeah you're right that's that's north ridge right there you go you got it there you are like it's close somewhere further more. or it turns out there's actually a correlation between knowing where north korea is and favoring military action those who don't know where the country is are actually more likely to want to send troops right now millions of americans are convinced that north korea is out to get them and it seems like those who are the least in the know are the ones running the most scared table mopping r.t. new york. about to go in order to is accusing a british contractor in afghanistan of wasting vast amounts of money on some questionable practices the review found millions of dollars of taxpayers' money being spent on. this was revealed by a latest audit however somehow no no questions were asked on this case previously and now of course this is going to be unraveling and more are going to be demanded now so

support terrorism while their stated were saudi arabia where no run just had its elections and reelected a moderate and saudis don't even bother to have elections talk a little about the weapons deal and what's going on saudi arabia right now will you know which weapons deal their weapons deal do not many weapons deal they were under obama a lot forty two to saudi arabia so this is not something new but. trump wants to take it to new levels and sign just extraordinary weapons sales to saudi arabia now there has been for the first time really some pushback in congress and maybe because it's trump and not obama there are many democrats who are now saying well maybe we should stop this they're also looking at the catastrophic results in yemen from the saudi bombing campaign and say maybe we should step back and so the deals are going through we are continuing to arm this government that is not only destroying the neighboring country of yemen but also internally and leaders is something you don't hear about in the news at all where you don't hear much about yemen yemen but also there i don't

that's right, saudi arabia needs a much higher oil price. co at around $80, around $60 is what it would be satisfied with. it probably needs to cut deeper it self and hope other countries follow suit. and of course aramco is coming to the market at some point, that is the idea. sometime around 28 they hope to sell pa rt sometime around 28 they hope to sell part of the company and they need that money to fill their coffers. and we shall keep an eye on that opec meeting under way today and tomorrow in abu dhabi. south korean prosecutors are holding their closing arguments in the trial of samsung's heir apparent this morning. mariko oi joins me now from our asia business hub in singapore. nice to see you. so this is jay y lee. what is the outlook? well, we haven't seen any new lines just yet, but it is an ongoing trial, and as you say, but closing argument is taking place this morning. it has been dubbed the trial of the century, involving the country's former president, the acting boss of samsung, as you mentioned, jay y lee, and of course the

for what it take then abdel saudi arabia's partners to actually condemn its actions in yemen. well i'm surprised the british government american government they are absolutely silent they don't say to the saudi enough is enough you are killing people in this and people and you are fighting a war for two and a half years and there you know the yemenis who are actually suffering they say we are fighting this war to a legitimate government there but you know i believe that yemenis people who decide the one who is victim of the war is illegitimate so i think united states and britain in particular who are the main suppliers of weapon to saudi arabia i think should say to them look you know there we have to put them into this war because civilian are suffering because he says violated their hospitals are bomb so. the other european countries stop actually sending arms to saudi arabia especially germany because. of that that they thought of civilian in this war so i believe america and united states should follow suit and say to the saudi look you know we're not going to supply you w

its own inquiry into the nine eleven attacks two years later the families of the victims sued saudi arabia over reports of links between the saudi government officials and hijackers declassified pages of being inquiry report later confirmed those links with congress then approving a bill that allowed families to take legal action against the gulf kingdom. saudi arabia in turn has repeatedly denied any involvement in the nine eleven attacks right eagleson lost his father in the tragedy he says the fact the u.k. report is being kept secret shows otherwise. it's very clear to all the nine eleven family members that there is a relationship that exists between our government and the u.k. government between saudi arabia that our governments do not want to inconvenience so they do not want to interrupt this report that we're requesting to be released would be a very inconvenient truth to both governments this report makes clear connections between terrorist financing and the government of saudi arabia right now we are in a legal case with saudi arabia and at stands right now we're going to court

saudi arabia is edging of a higher.ask investors, they would tell you to be a bit more worried about obama that bahrain. tell you saudi arabia is going to be behind bahrain is needed. that is the price of bahraini debts. seen the first four months of this year look at the fiscal data. you see hardly any change that makers toolicy consolidate that budget deficit. last year was about 21% of gdp. that is the highest in the gcc. they expected to come down to 10% this year. we've not seen any signs in the numbers. spending is flat. of not seen any sign that this is actually coming down. the authorities are betting on -- they have space to borrow, but at what cost? saying if we don't see is significant fiscal consolidation soon, they will be under more pressure. yousef: arguably the gulf crisis came at an inconvenient time. the last thing they needed was any political anxiety or the political that we are currently seeing in the gulf cooperation council. as to what is going on with the gulf crisis, we did see the arrival of so

believed to be your own ls like against saudi arabia so my question to you is. without really getting into the discussion i think many people agree with you totally that it's necessary to take a uniform approach on terrorism but if you want to sanction qatar which nobody can really stop you from doing that why do you have to come up that there are the pretext that nobody can take a lot of pretexts hardly be considered as a pretext this is a authoritative substantiated evidence upon which we rely and hope on which many intelligence organizations have hard facts that surged into the to this issue again and it is very important not to generalize and not to make accusations except when there is material evidence that supports it and in the case of that material evidence exists in the face of policies that have adverse the impact it has created has caused a loss of life in egypt this is an intolerable situation and this is why we are taking action to protect national interests and that is the comprehensive nature of what we have been calling for that terrorism can on

it was saudi arabia trying to politicize the pilgrimage a mythical crisis there's been no suggestion by any kathuria official about internationalizing the issue looks like another fake coming from the saudis but see what really happened the saudi arabia put in place certain travel conditions for qatari citizens making rather uncomfortable to visit the sacred sites in response qatar took its complaints to the un and all this bickering and fighting started the way back in may when a controversial article was published on a news agency website which led to a very negative reaction by the saudis and they are our allies but you are you to mention or you probably guessed it yes though he says it was also a planted fake article and qatari officials seem to have identified the possible perpetrator. because your authorities are already identified the initiators leaders and executed of this computer attack all the evidence we have available points to the u a e this is irrefutable evidence we did not expect this needless to say the emirates have of course refuted the claims it seems that in thi

iran says it may engage in a diplomatic exchange with saudi arabia.e look at the possible implications for markets. taxing times in the uae. new excise on tobacco and soft drink will start from october, the first in a series of reforms designed to make up for lost revenue from lower oil prices. saudi bonds make a splash. bloomberg's mideast finance reporter looked at what is driving demand for the kingdom's debt. reporter: demand is still pretty high from local investors. always seen in saudi arabia as a result of the spending cuts the government has done, demand in the private sector has dried up. banks are looking for decent assets to buy. there is a lot of demand for these issues. only look at when they were around 58 billion riel's on the table, this time it was just over 30. we are seeing demand is perhaps not as high as it was last month. we are starting to see interbank rates come up. what they were doing a year ago was sucking all of the equivalency out of the system. there is very little left for the private sector. anchor: does this give us

saudi arabia and its allies, egypt and bahrain and its allies, egypt and bahrain and the united araby say, we have time, we are well established, qatar is besieged, let them rot. i think we have to be careful with this talk, because the potential for instability is absolutely huge. there is no guarantee whatsoever, and this is what the saudis have to think about, that the population of qatar will support a prince that is a stooge of the saudis. it is likely that the actual population will support the current year. but the other aspect of all this is the original implications of this instability, as we implications of this instability, as we have in one hand qataris being supported by turkey, iran, there is a strengthening the relationship with iran, and israel is more or less on the side of the saudis, but there were previous relationships with qatar, so it is hugely complicated and the potential for instability is huge. the short-term effect has been to drive qatar into the arms of iran, restoring field of dramatic relationsjust the arms of iran, restoring field of dramatic relation

so saudi arabia ranked among the top destinations for canadian arms exports and twenty sixteen of the military purchases totaled one hundred forty two million canadian dollars human rights activists we heard from say profit seems to have prevailed over the concern for human rights in the case of saudi arabia. about a year ago last summer there were. reports from the saudi arabia there were videos of similar vehicles being used armed vehicles being used against civilians in saudi arabia canada's export control laws the actual criterion by which a sale should be approved or not the proof is whether there's any reasonable risk that the arms being sold could be used in human rights violations and my hope would be that they can even government in our foreign affairs minister chrystia freeland really make the right decision on this but honestly given the track or the record of the current government i don't hold out too much hope that they'll go back on this deal and honestly for me to say that it's a little problem the process rather than the human rights that would be expected from the gi
