and more recently, the saudi government has been travel to and from the u. a. e. sites in corona virus concerns the let's not bring in our guest. joining us from re odd as often as either of us yon, who's a researcher and fellow for the secretary and isn't proxies and the secretary and ization projects and london. andrea craig was an assistant professor at kings college london and call for of surrogate warfare. the transformation of war and the 21st century. joining us from kuwait city is about it and say if who the non resident fellow with the current to give at least center thanks for joining us on a site story. welcome to you all. but it is safe to begin with you. how would you describe relations between the u. e and saudi arabia as they stand today? for pleasure to be with me today is a relation i've always gone through. you know, and i've been slow. the relationship has been climax at the moment in which way congress, their interests align. and other times they have diapers. there is a new crop in the past few days is not a surprise in terms of their interes

it's the growing trend toward normalization, of course, that concerns the u. a. e on it not, not so much saudi arabia, but at the same time, we know that shouting review was in certain ways to certain extents, supportive of the u. a. e and bahrain. moving ahead with the abraham records in from jordan's perspective. those diplomatic deals undermined jordan's position in the region. jordan would like to see the palestinian issue resolved. and when you have gulf states, i normalizing relations with israel before there is resolution of the palestinian question. the perspective from on is that this is the stabilizing, and most importantly it will have the stabilizing impacts on jordan. so that's definitely one of the numerous issues in the region that has created some distance between the ash my kingdom and some powers in the arabian peninsula. despite a history of the gulf states in jordan, being very, very close to each other, thought provoking conversation, georgia kathy over there in washington. thank you very much, ga good to talk to you. thank you. still to come h

and the fact that he has close ties and countries like live and on, and the u. a. e. he will be transferred to a prison in new york at the stage, no bail appearance yet scheduled. but those 7 indictments, or very, very serious charges also charged along with him. one of the members for my member id company, along with another m r a. m r r t businessman the serious a charge in those indictments lying to federal agents during an interview in june 2019. when this whole investigation was under way. the prosecutor made a rather strange step of pointing out that form a president. donald trump was one of those betrayed by barracks action in a way, attempting to distance the former president from the actions of the man who ran his campaign fund for a long period of time. but to give some kind of context to this for 3 years, say the prosecutors from the time that donald trump was nominated as republican candidate for president, 3 years later, one and a half $1000000000.00 were paid into better act. so wealth fund by the u. a e and it's very close allied, saudi arabia, christian

u. e. g, a, b, and even the other states that matter ensure that they can try such a scenario. hence, bringing in a limitation on free trade zones, really speaks to that the elements you need some kind of a protection. and in terms of having a preferential treatment for ccc, countries with those imports, the task force, obviously a free trade zone. and if you go into detail, you look at then tapping it's a 25 percent local workforce. so it goes lower than that. then it wouldn't be considered local, kind of, you know, so i think that serves a wider merited. and that serves a backdrop in which they need to realize that they are working towards the same goal. now do you really might be, you know, miles behind in terms of where you e and even to that level is in terms of economic advertiser and you know, a diversification do my model if you want to call it that is not meant to drive on its own, i mean it's expected to see competition. and so that's how the was just wondering how many that were going

indictment, raising questions about the comp, administrations relations with saudi arabia and the u. a. e. saudi arabia being the 1st country that donald trump visited as president. so although the prosecutors are saying that trump himself was betrayed by the actions of barack they will certainly be questions arising as these indictments offer the explored in the months ahead. my kind of thank you very much. indeed. several rockets have been fired towards i got a sounds presidential palace in the capital capital. how me? oh, it could be heard as president as rough gun he was leading a de la hub pres. one landed near campbell's most popular mosque, another behind its biggest shopping mould. the 3rd landed near the ministry of foreign affairs. though new reports of death or injuries, entrepreneur to get into james bays and cobble as more. certainly there was a big shock for people in the very centre of carnival when they heard the bangs. i was staying in the center of cobble around 8 o'clock this morning when that took place. now in the immediate aftermath out, you're a spoke to a senior me

the 1st visit he paid overseas with the u, a. e. and some arguing very strongly that these amount of funds are coming into the advisors account. a possible explanation for the administration's actions. but the what's to be pointed out as well is that although thomas brock and donald trump were very great friends for a long period of time, there was something of a falling out around 2019. and then had to do, said some insight, as with the fact that donald trump did not believe he had got any money out of thomas barracks activities. so the 2 basically parted ways that, that particular point in time, as donald trump has be, want to do with a lot of close friends and former colleagues. but though i say that there is no apparent connection and the prosecutors are saying that donald trump was one of those betrayed no doubt. the investigations as they continue may reveal other details about how deeply the trump administration was related to these activities by his former campaign chair. michaela, thank you very much. indeed. coming up on th

question about how much policy coordination there is in the u right now, because as max pointed out, you have a situation on the one hand where the e u is saying, you know, we're not sure about this vaccination. and yet the same e u as been funding the kofax program, the u. n. w h o kofax program, which gets this vaccination funds getting this vaccination out to the rest of the world. that they're now saying, they're not sure about how much for the nation is there between the e, u and the w h o on these kinds of issues. how much coordination is there between countries themselves? some of the you, nations have approved the same covey shield that the e u, as a whole, the saying they're not sure about. well, given that be totally legitimate for each regulatory authority to independently carry out the approval process for drag back to that whatsoever. apparently at the moment we have a problem of coordination because european union paid that the vaccine should not be used and recognized. but at the same time, oh, nice. well, they knew i'd be lam, spain, and in the near switzerland. nice land approved kong shields. the answer, the prope

it's a fine balance for the e. u, as it works to minimize health risks while trying to reinvigorate economies and allow people some freedom. but often more than a year of living with the unpredictability of the pandemic. the key, the european officials, is that people remain vigilant. natasha butler. i'll just sarah paris or the head of africa centers for disease control says vaccines are key to preventing a wider outbreak on the continent. if we have a predictable supply of backseat vaccines to be used, then we can defeat is funded. can big the backbone of this funding make by the end of next year. but if you do not do that, but since i'm not available to enable that new speed and that's q, then of course, the unfortunate answer is that pass next year will be moving to us in the midst of this barriers on the continent. and the consequences would be catastrophic. we don't want to see that. we don't want to be as seen as a continent of cobra. algebra, arizona trace has more nor from boucher in nigeria. so far africa r
