saudi arabia has a border with yemen. the iranians are backing a force called the houthis to bring down a pro-western government in yemen. everywhere you look you see iran encroaching throughout the mideast. this theocracy in iran is the biggest threat to world order, and that is saying a lot, given the world as it is. and i say that with confidences because what iran is trying to do is destabilize the mideast in unprecedented fashion, and our arab allies are tired of it and now is the time to stand with them, with their imperfections, i guess i ran with their hostility. so this $500 million chunk of the $110 billion weapons sale is absolutely essential that the saudi air force did these weapons not only to minimize o casualties, but when the fight against the aggressive nature of iran in human and other places. i don't know where we are going with iran but th the president d that the current nuclear deal is absolutely a terrible do. he is right. this deal marks -- if they don't cheat, they don't have to cheat. in ten or

-saudi bombing campaign. get your intelligence briefing and look at the difference in the amount of space that aqap controls today. aqap, which has the most capability to hit the united states, has grown exponentially in terms of the territory it controls. isis has grown as well. they took advantage of the civil war. if our priority is really about defeating this, our civil war is not helping in that effort. civilians are dying, extremist groups are growing, the yemeni population is being radicalized against us, and to exacerbate matters, the trump administration walked away from the process. secretary kerry was actively involved in trying to bring the houthis and saudi-backed government together. he got close to an agreement, but it fell apart. this administration has not restarted that process. and so for those that want to throw more arms into this contest, i think it's hard to believe that ultimately that will lead to any cease-fire or any peaceful transition to a new government if the united states is to

the flaws of the saudi government are real. they are known to me by my friends on the other side, particularly senator paul, can't sleep at saudi arabia and ron on the same footing. i think that is a very unwise analysis to suggest that saudi arabia is as bad as iran, it's just missing the point big time. the iranian bureaucracy is a stabilizing force in the middle east and they have aggressively pursued military action through proxies and directly been involved in military actions int syria, iran's efforts to dominate iraq, lebanon and syria and now yemen have to be pushed sa back. here's what secretary mattis said about this proposal: i asked him a question, how does the passage of this proposal limited to sitting precision b guided by the congress? i believe iran would be appreciative of not selling these weapons to saudi arabia. that's pretty direct. iran would be really happy and i would say this, on september the 21st 201,671 united states senators supported a tank sale to saudi arabia by 71 votes to play seven. i would a

you know are saudi saudi arabia intel is even deep inside the. probability of he has that i problem. the problem is they are going to have a problem with it and if you notice i'm still here and you know we had in yemen this so do you not ask a lot how do. you know that because you don't use glass cause whether they were no i mean saudi or goes by by the british the canadians the americans you've been correct coming in i was against humanity against the people of yemen for two and a half years i mean i'm just a minority but if you and yemen a diagonal there of hunger only know of hate and you have. to have eyes a lot of the yemeni people. are not going are going to say oh yeah you know i just got me there a second because you've been defeated side let me just country that i mean you can see we're going in circles here effectively let's look at it you're rocking a bunch of cells but do you think that there could be compromise between the two countries if there weren't any out of sight influences if they went to the outside countries do you think yo

that is going to be important for saudi arabia.ders will come back to their seats earlier then usual. >> do you think we should see a pickup in the middle of ramadan? >> i think individuals come back to the market then definitely. that is why volumes have been lower. i think they are still adjusting and with that, a.b. be they come back to the market. >> how do you see that review playing out in the market aside from volumes? >> we think this is going to mean foreign investors will look at saudi arabia more closely. at the moment you have all the world to look at not on your benchmark. there's no urgency to look at saudi arabia. in dollar terms it is less. i think there is a lot of room for foreign influence and saudi arabia. depending on positioning we expect 25-50,000,000,000 dollars. >> that is it for this best of bloomberg markets middle east. we'll be here for the start of the trading week. join >> coming up on bloomberg best, the stories that shaped the weekend business around the world. political tensions that the world on e

support saudi arabia and saudis don't have anything against the a.m.a. and people and as a matter of fact we think they get on as a as very rich and rich of sources very rich. and until nine hundred seventy nine things we had a fine between the problem that was created in between iran and saudi arabia is that the saudi arabian regime like other regimes they were free of fear of revolutions in their own country. dictatorship family that doesn't even tolerate itself the crown just kicked out of office today. the king put it here he put his son in its worth. but why why. now we see. the. head of. our forces are fighting alongside the god the so the forces in yemen we know. where it's ideology come from we know idea where the idea from. the books that they teach come from saudi arabia we know that the bomb attacks europe across europe in asia africa . and ice is never to. be in what doesn't ices attack or doesn't attack iran but they have attacked. saudi arabia and many to many terrorist acts many times now we come to it to yemen saudi arabia and yemen share

arabia and give essentially unconditional backing for saudi arabia yet since that time saudi arabia has led to a group of countries to isolate qatar and cut it off in a very counterproductive move and they have been just yesterday rapped on the knuckles so to speak by secretary of state tillerson who said through a spokesperson that there is no justification for this so we're seeing two different kinds of dynamics and that that weakens the american ability to engage with the gulf states in fighting against isis and in dealing with containing iran it really does create a hold on let me let me stop you there and why would this harm our ability to fight isis as it isis also an enemy of saudi arabia it is and yet at the same time we need to have g.c.c. gulf cooperation council unity in order to effectively prosecute that and our primary base in the goal for the united states is in our day the air base in qatar and right now that's been essentially cut off by saudi arabia and so when scotter and saudi arabia and united arab emirates are at loggerheads and they don't have the unity we can

the saudis are spreading extremism so traditional allies of the saudis they are now becoming more and more concerned about the spread of this extremism which we see manifesting itself in europe in the philippines in africa. well abdul aziz what do you think of that how do you respond to that. first of all hello everybody and first of all saudi arabia and saudis don't have anything against the iranian people and as a lot of pressure we think they are. iran is a. very rich in natural resources they have very rich heritage and they have very hardworking people and until nine hundred seventy nine things we had a fine between the two countries and it's really surprising after the iranian revolution when the late ayatollah khomeini took took power we expected him to be actually i mean his main purposes overthrowing the shah is to build iran and to make it say of several safe and prosperous for their own people but the first thing that the any means did in one nine hundred seventy nine was their declaration of. spreading and extending their revolution returning. to the arab world especially

versus saudi arabia to saudi arabia versus iran is going to be a mess but look at the edge over the united states except where you know the united states it was a favorite if it's not a family affair between russians and ukrainians who have been living in the same state for four hundred years that is an international affair but you know i think the solution to it is colonialism because part of colonialism is not just disdain for that colonial ice nation it's when you allow all the local princess fight each other you know since they're separatists anyway let these separatists fight each other that's the attitude of the united states the poor weapons bought into qatar or at least i want to really know i mean you know they all say it's a really unfair the whole reason for the united states to be in the middle east is to ensure the free flow of oil here i mean when we're talking about this and you really see where i guess is the very center of it no. for me it's very simple ali it's just not fought out as usual it's not it's not that usually when you in a negotiation process when you make such

you look at qatar and saudi arabia, qatar is improving in human rights. so many ways you can look at, travel to qatar, and i see people have more freedom than saudi arabia and egypt. byhink by attacking qatar this way, it will not help. it seems to me that saudi arabia is pretending they are president of the muslims and they can do whatever they want. they can block qatar anyway possible. i think it is a power that they .ant to control qatar look what they did to yemen, saudi arabia, and they cannot damaged yemenis forever. we need to be mindful and to seek this is nothing but saudi arabia interfering with qatar issues, that is why we have to stop. it costs us more money -- right now qatar is talking to russians, and i don't know what is going to happen to the future can to you that as politics, this is not good for our country. host: thank you for weighing in. guest: yes, and certainly, that is the basis for secretary ti llerson's comments. we agree, it is important for saudi arabia and uae and others to lift the economic embargo on qatar and get back to

other nations are still ahead of you he and saudi. ue and saudi.ousef: i want to bring it to more of a systemic level. click look into my bloomberg here and i will try to pull it up as well. we have added the two lines in white, the saudi interbank. there is the one in the emirates. those are relatively resilient and has picked up 1.77 for the cyber. the story of this chart being of massive spark that data 2.33. when does it become a real concern? starts to be already concerning, you see the chart up. obviously there is opportunity of sources of funding. yousef: how much of a concern as it in terms of the relative concern of the financial system? and: the thing provides two a quarter, which is below interbank rates. that is in place. i would not be excluding our investment that would be lending to the sect dirt -- to the sector. they may have to allocated to provide funding for the next system. bigger in terms of the picture and qatar's economy, how resilient are they to reserve and longer terms? jaap: ramifications will be quite material. it may b

in saudi, what will drive saudi gcckuwait, another major market, is the review.t is what markets are watching for. is important, but on the 25th of june the msci is likely to say saudi arabia is on the watchlist for emerging market status. it is likely to say the same about the way. that creates a focus of interest for passive flows potentially command to the saudi market over the next couple years. as you know, saudi has been opening up over the last couple years. they have kicked a lot of the right boxes. saudi on the watchlist is very important for the saudi market over the two weeks. issue will be rumbling in the background, but it is a real focus point on the 25th of june. we did see a huge it drop, over 4% initially. it missed expectations. that will weigh in as we go into the trading day. at thesel prices levels, will that bring about a new wave of downside pressure? i would say it will bring the focus may be a little bit away to thetar, bread-and-butter issue for a lot of markets in the region. i would say a low oil price, or high 40's is big into a lot o

by 1973, the saudi government will have 25%. by 1980, it will have complete control over aramco, and it will be a saudi company. this is the future, one that seems rather bright in 1960. but of course, there is this organization called opec formed in 1960. that is going to transform the politics of saudi arabia, along with iraq, iran, venezuela. that will raise tensions in the 1960's, leading to the 1967 war with israel, and 1973 war, as well. that will fracture once was once a unified vision. benefiting -- once a unified vision. benefiting, the oilmen. forwards we can look to, 1964 the republican party will really shift. the control will shift to the wildcatters of the southwest. anyone recall who the gop candidate will be in 1964? barry goldwater. who will he defeat in the republican primaries? nelson rockefeller. the politics of oil working its way into the politics of the republican party. oilmenimportance of the on the domestic front. globally andsrupts disrupts american abilities to extract oil from abroad, domestic reserv

it is not just in the saudi mood right now. it is notjust saudi.t standing behind those shows that there is a problem in the region and you are right in that 2014, there was this problem, and words were accepted. the point of this is less of an automated answering these of the problems that we have highlighted. there is transparency find a solution. action rather than words, gestures alone are no longer good enough because of the consequence of what we've seen happening in the region. what convinced do have that this can be resolved in a peaceful manner? the un is speaking about brokering any agreement between them. the un is speaking about brokering any agreement between themm the un is speaking about brokering any agreement between them. it has to be peaceful in the long term because the region is so small. there are four mil tyres and so forth. i do not think anyone is thinking let's go have a military solution to this. it has come to a four because it has to do. too long it has been a point of putting in signals and so forth. it has to be resol

arabia and by the allies of israel and saudi arabia the united states especially as the great threat to the status quo in the middle east and the whole conflict in syria to a very great extent in my opinion was about breaking that link between syria and iran and that is what has kept the war going for so long and what keeps it going still well you could if you could throw in hezbollah in lebanon here christopher you know but the interesting thing is is that if you look at in this century every particularly the illegal invasion of iraq all the way up to the present all of the countries i mentioned saudi arabia qatar israel and the united states and it's with other western allies of all the further the the advancement of the reigning in power in the region i mean every step backfires on them i mean it seems to me that what they want to do is they want to be able to be a proxy player inside of syria just for the reasons that our xander just said here but given their past or our track record i wonder if it's going to work it never works go ahead. well yes i think i think a very big part

saudi arabia qatar everything has turned upside down you don't have. you have turkey and iran siding with qatar you have russia tried to mediate but leaning a little more towards the qatari side you have the united states and trump tweeting about how saudi arabia should be supported qatar is the enemy and cetera but giving twelve billion in money and weapons to them so you have a whole different dynamic now which is just really been a tectonic shift from what syria was to work with these two countries are nominally american allies. well i think what we're seeing now is a breakdown a very long tradition in the western media would have been hearing for i think about sixty years do more chrissy don't fight each other american allies don't fight each other so do futile countries you know the cold would use countries like . china where it's all it's but they were bad well now we see how america now why saudi arabia and qatar are basically fighting each other and the problem is that the port spawns some very very unseemly groups the only difference is that q

i would say you are seeing clarity, not from saudi arabia alone, saudi arabia, the uae, egypt and otheranding and saying we cannot have a small country in the region that is supporting non—state actors that are supporting groups like everyone to militias in libya, cutting deals with militias sitting in a row, saying there comes a point where we have to call a spade a spade. which is interesting because i think outside of the region, many of people say the problem is saudia arabia. we have a country in the region that has been supporting extremist elements but also the idea of non—state actors, whether you have the taliban having a representative office as though it is an embassy. these are signals that actually have detrimental effects on people's lives and that is what we are seeing translated in the region. jeff, is this the consequence of president trump's recent visit to the region and has very strong message of support to saudi arabia? the reporting is that the saudis felt empowered by the green light that they got from trump who also pushed very hard to say that mohammed bin salma

the saudi qatar spot continues with no end in sight and new sanctions on russia divide nato allies also is the truth about ukraine finally coming to light lastly the west on civil society. talking stories in the news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow alex christopher oh he is. the director and writer of the duran dot com we also have dimitri bobbitt he's a political analyst with international and we have exactly a row he is the founder of the center for political strategic analysis struck all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i will always appreciate it and i want to stress to my guests and to our viewers that we do real news on this program here so the real story that i want to talk about is this simmering. standoff in it is very very important because you know we saw the president the united states side with the saudis when the saudis called in other arab countries called qatar state sponsor of terrorism that's a bit rich and we still have the president the united states signing off on a huge thing twelve billion dollars arms

this is a saudi paper, a saudi government paper in many ways. is terrorism, even when it hits the rain. who is behind this? the two dominant players in the region, the rain, and saudi arabia, and that plays into an extra, but the ramifications could be serious. two things that you mention, it's not happened before. some people is because the rain has a well funded security system. the rain has been sidelined because of sanctions for awhile. but it is a large and powerful country with a powerful military operation. the article also points out that despite the fact that as you say it is a saudi backed newspaper, that the rain is accusing saudi arabia of being behind this attack. give us your take on the. this seems to be a momentum that is only gathering pace. saudis and i think is the accusation. this attack has been condemned by the us, even though it took a while. donald trump liaises well into our next story, because he has said that he will step in and sort out the problems with qatar. is going to get worse before it gets better?” with qatar.

now the question is what is saudi's time horizon the ipo of saudi aramco is a to 2018 event so they caneal with some of these prices sit tight, let the cuts reverse. i think they'll be ready for 2018 >> do you think we could slip below $40 from here on wti >> depends on where sentiment goes i think sentiment is ahead of fundamentals i think this market is much more constructive on supply and demand we are in a bear sentiment trap. i think there is the potential we could drift lower >> glad we found you in sydney >> a great live shot behind you. >> talking saudi arabia on "worldwide exchange. >> exactly >> thank you >> now to china, a long-awaited decision msci agreed to add mainland chinese stocks to the index. eunice yoon is in shenzhen tell us about the reaction to this big decision. >> in this case it was fourth time lucky the msci finally decided to include chinese domestically traded shares into the all influential em index in theory this means foreign investors can get access to 222 high cheeinese mainland stocks. these are weighted in consumers, financials that's why we saw a ral

when the saudis called in other arab countries called qatar state sponsor of terrorism. that's a bit rich and we still have the president the united states signing off on a huge thing twelve billion dollars arms deal what is going on here and it's most importantly we have to get but the united states has one of its most important military bases in the world in qatar eleven thousand troops by qatar twenty four and funded by qatar so i mean this whole situation with qatar and saudi arabia has really changed the game from what the alliances were drawn during syria so during syria you had a whole set of alliances between assad russia iran against saudi arabia qatar turkey etc and now with this recent spat with this with this conflict between saudi arabia qatar everything has turned upside down if you don't have turkey and iran siding with qatar you have russia trying to mediate but leaning a little more towards the qatari side you have the united states and trump tweeting about how saudi arabia should be supported qatar is the enemy and cetera but giving twelve billion in mo

we had a briefing by the saudi foreign minister.have a briefing by the country foreign minister. we have really had a lot of access on both sides trying to understand the points of view. that is a good thing. the bad thing is it doesn't seem as though the two sides are actually talking to each other or even through the mediator, it looks like kuwait is active. ares not clear that those negotiations per se, more just touching bases. i agree with what you say, becoming entrenched and whenever they come out with the statement, it becomes very difficult to roll that back. you come and say that publicly. you commit yourself to that stance. as markets prepared to open, we haven't seen many things that we may be nearer to. like speaking of everybody making public statements and talking, we do have this ten-day deadline that was set. do we have any indication of what happens if qatar does not agree to this list of demands? ask that was one thing. on this list, most people we say this is a blue sky demand. you take a very exaggerated positio

-- thee saudis over the years.rying to take care of some unfinished business with qatar which has been out there for a long time, and wrapping this up a bit in terms of the new american focus on iran, which is focused to the saudis years. are trying toudis take maximum advantage of this early on in hopes that the americans will at least acquiesce. last morek this will than a few months or most. what they feel the qataris have suffered enough, i think there will be moved to try to get things back to where they were prior to this latest crisis. laura: moving now to a grim discovery in libya. seven people have been found dead in a refrigerated truck that was abandoned by people smugglers. 20 others, including five women, were rescued when the truck was discovered in a town some 50 miles east of the capital of tripoli. the town is a departure point for smugglers trying to cross the mediterranean into italy. police say the smugglers got away. to syria now, where u.s. backed forces are preparing a final assault on the is

for the iranians, isis is a by-product of saudi... ideology and saudi financing. saudis, isis is a by-product of iranian support for-- shi'a militias in iraq which are killing sunnis en mass. the reality is that isis poses a grave threat to iran, but an even griever threat to saudi arabia. so in theory these two countries have a mutual adversary in isis. but what iran has been doing which i think is quite dangerous is conflating saudi arabia and isis, and they put their finger on something which has a powerful resonance amongst iranians and whether you're a shiite cleric, or a secular iranian opponent of the regime living in los angeles, there is this kind of persian nationalism against saudi arabia. they're trying to harness that. but what's dangerous about that is not that they blamed saudi arabia for this attack and retallation, this really has a danger of escalatin escalating e regional war between iran and saudi arabia, which has really eclipsed the conflict and the destabilization of the middle east. >> very strong tensions between iran and saudi arabia. we

let's go back to our saudi alliance. reaching are doing is out to their allies and also walking into services of some lobbyists in washington who promote their case at these accusations are meaningless, baseless. from get some more mohammed here in doha as well. is this part of the wider agreement? what else do they have planned in terms of trying to plead their case? >> you artie mentioned the general outline. they are getting some food, support,litary commitment from its or support in turkey, now you have international diplomacy. reaching out to germany, going john ashcrofting to lobby for them in the u.s. and get rid of this accusation that qatar is not doing enough to solve it terrorism financing problems. if they can fix that, maybe they can convince president trump to help ease the situation a bit more here in qatar. muhammad, there is also arbitration happening elsewhere. they are seeking reparations afford damages that have been caused by the latest drive to isolate. breakdown the story for us. give us some numbe

as far as saudi arabia is concerned, only four of the attackers were not from saudi arabia. the rest were. i think it's the right thing to do for now. host: that's brett giving thoughts on this parts of the travel ban being put back in play. as court decision to hear by full justices takes place in october. you can give your comments toth next few minutes before we move on to first segment of the morning. for republicans 202-748-8001, for democrats 202-748-8000 202-748-8002 for independents. one of the things that the justices did not take up yesterday was this idea of shooting that took place on the boarder. this is ann and robert barnes. saying the court decided monday involving cross boarder shooting of unarmed mexican teenager by u.s. boarder patrol agent. reconsideration. the narrow ruling came in unsigned order that was accompanied by three justices suggested conflicted court when comes to questions of how the country polices the daily turn along the boarder. the high court acknowledged disturbing heart breaking loss of life. it would be prudent to decide whether the 1
