mainly we can cited the missing person there and the leadership figure from the u.a.e. as even behind sent in the prime minister being a very key figure within within the state while for the u.a.e. we see the little for jr who is not within you know the power circle if you will and it's a very clear show that either the united arab emirates is in not in in greenman too with its partners including saudi arabia over some issues that will be raised in the summit or there are. issues between tunisia and. bickley would not agree with. we have two things to discuss here first is the the idea of come back in the deal of the century we've seen the americans pushing more and more toward supporting that in the hour in the election through giving him freebies such as the golan heights declaration and i'm sure that most of the arab states would like to see a very strong language against this in the summit while the u.a.e. who has a different position on that and we've seen the minister of state for foreign affairs go gosh say just two days ago that. between flights between the arab

these detention centers that the u.a.e. have build up in yemen as well as potentially now in a suburb in eritrea are black sites they're part of black operations they don't appear on maps of their military installations which are secretive even for most people in the u.a.e. military and they're run mostly by sargant so by private either by mercenaries or by local forces that they train and equip allegations have been raised about widespread torture and abuse taking place in a network of secret prisons in yemen or by the u.a.e. . it's detained hundreds of yemeni rebel fighters and rights groups reported that some of them have been transferred to eritrea the u.a.e. has rejected these allegations saying that politically motivated to undermine its efforts to support the yemeni government the issue is would organizations like the international committee of the red cross have access to those prisoners to verify the conditions under which they kept would there be sufficient transparency who is who is kept there and under what term

he is going through some unprecedented changes from the saudi u.a.e.led war in yemen to the conflict in syria and protests in algeria. the arab league will hold its thirtieth summit in the tunisian capital tunis after a nearly eight year absence will syria return to the leak join us for up to date coverage and in-depth analyses on al-jazeera. saudi arabia temporarily releases three female activists who spent ten months in prison. on it i'm going to see barger watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up at least nineteen dead after a high rise office building catches fire in the bangladeshi capital. venezuela's opposition leader one quite a ways by from holding public office the fifteen years. meets the british wonder woman with a gene mutation which means she's impervious to pay. we begin in saudi arabia where three female activists have been granted temporary release after spending ten months in prison they've been freed after the second hearing of their trial which is still continuing there among eleven women arrested in may last year for the

monday marks four years since the saudi u.a.e. led coalition intervened in yemen to support the government there in its war against the rebels the conflict has killed at least ten thousand people and led to what the u.n. described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis priyanka gupta looks at the economic impact. the markets of sun are the ones at the crossroads of trade in the middle east. today these traders and market one of the oldest of the city are selling whatever little local farmers can produce prices a steep and out of reach for most the few who can buy are often in debt. and with a smile has a family of eight he's among the millions of yemenis for whom the war has meant sleeping on an empty stomach. the war destroyed the gulf arabs and the saudis and the u.a.e. destroyed us food prices are ten times higher because the yemeni real has no value at present in yemen central bank is split between government controlled aden and who the controlled so now saudi arabia publicly pledged a loan of two billion dollars but only to

the u.a.e. has been locked in a dispute with djibouti over control of its port lost his government cancel the contract of the u.s. port authority d.p. world the case was taken to an international court after due beauty's actions d.p. world issued a statement saying the contract cannot be unilaterally terminated at will the contract therefore remains in full force and effect but now media reports have pointed to china being handed control of the port it's not only commercial ventures it's driving these country's interests in the horn of africa the u.a.e. has built a military base in eritrea is port city of a sob and the u.a.e. has sought to acquire more ports in the horn of africa and the red sea but this is being contested by countries including china and turkey with this competition the whole of africa seems to be heading towards more foreign influence. manly al-jazeera or the biggest block in the european parliament has suspended the ruling party of hungary and prime minister viktor orban they

fifteen dozens of children died last august when a school bus was hit by an air raid led by the saudi u.a.e. coalition that same month another hospital was attacked in her data several cease fires have been agreed on yet they consistently crumble. as a war continues into yet another year it's often the most vulnerable who are left to pick up the pieces. so they yearn al-jazeera opposition groups in algeria say a call by the army chief to have president abdelaziz bouteflika declared unfit for office doesn't go far enough are calling for a bigger change the military's direct intervention follows weeks of protests again . but if they can as backers us will help our ports. the algerian army breaks its silence it demands the country's ailing president. be declared unfit to rule it was army's chief or staff left in and general. who made the demand but that in this regard we need to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of algeria within the constitution and within the sovereignty of the country in order to achieve that consensus and to achieve something that is acc

likely to take up that offer so actually they both this came from in two thousand and sixteen the u.a.e. which has always been more pragmatic than the saudis with regards to dealing with it for example it supported the russian military intervention in syria as long as it was targeting islamic movements they didn't support the arming rebel groups so the u.a.e. from fright max them point said that if we engage with assad we pro money into the syrian conflict we will be able to pry assad away from iran i think that's a positive and that's the angle a saudi arabia will take by by investing in syria if it does choose to invest but it's not necessarily about finding common ground with iran or finding common ground with syria or even improving their really the offer of syrians is more about investing just enough to get the government to realize that it's got an economic dependence on the gulf that can perhaps equal or supersede his military dependence on iran and then turn it away and then pry it away particularly if the. sunni's in syria are seeing that the saudis are investing in humanitaria

capital that other countries have more resources to invest in loans like china maybe down the line the u.a.e. and saudi arabia pump into syria russia does the projects on the ground because it knows the tray and then they benefit economically and they can look like they're building houses building hospitals building for so these improve the education and they help the syrian people and they look like a responsible stakeholder so it's about benefit economically first and foremost and secondly appearing responsible appearing like humanitarian stakeholder advancing principles that are are positive and justin's are mr money for everybody greece on the principles if everyone wants to portray himself or herself as a humanitarian in syria why is there such a difficulty for all the parties coming together supposedly they all care about the people of syria why is it so difficult for them to do something practical together to alleviate the suffering i think is a tremendous amount of distrust between the different powers and also this state of for western russia relations certainly doesn't help in that

senate has voted to end military support for the saudi u.a.e. led coalition fighting the war in yemen it's a rebuke to president donald trump's relationship with saudi arabia as senators from his republican party joined democrats to pass the measure it's now likely to pass the democratic controlled house of representatives castro has more from washington d.c. . it came as no surprise that the u.s. senate again voted for this resolution to withdraw u.s. military aid of saudi arabia's war in yemen the measure is expected to clear the democratic controlled house of representatives as well but the big test is what happens once it lands on the president's desk and the white house has already issued a statement threatening a presidential veto saying that the u.s. support of saudi arabia and yemen does not constitute engaging in hostilities and that this resolution seeks to override the president's determination as commander in chief now trump has made the u.s. close relationship with saudi arabia the centerpiece of his foreign policy since the beginni

relationships and of course that's where things get complicated because with saudi arabia bahrain and u.a.e. there is a blockade against qatar so that's a difficult situation and then when you look at them on cue weight the really isn't much facilities there but it's clear that in fact he knows vision is for the world cup possibly in twenty twenty to insert it going forward from that will be an expanded world cup and part i think to be more include. given in part also to make more money what he also said is that the qatari officials according to him frontin are all cooperating are looking at this as an option but any final decision will not be made until june when fifa meets again in paris and the wind is inference he knows so badly want to expand the world cup for twenty twenty two. well i think in part he did talk about that a little bit because there is some concern i guess amongst hardcore football fans that it might dilute the quality of the world cup and he talked about what happened in the last world cup when croatia reached the final he talked about it being more inclusive potential

it's not entirely straightforward and of course fifo it's feasibility study even still mentioned the u.a.e. and saudi arabia despite the blockade so it's clear there's still a lot of politics to take place over the next couple of months and then we'll see where we get so if it does eventually get through there will still likely be a backlash from nations that missed out on the vote for twenty twenty two and particularly in europe where there's real armies from particularly european clubs about having a forty eight saying world cup in qatar which is of course in the middle of the european football season yet such a complex issue is nearly and it's not the only thing that's on the agenda tell us about the club world cup. well the cop world cup studies on the agenda this like a for cheating world cup is something very dear to johnny in front of a nose heart he wants to push this he wants to make club world cup football better we doesn't particularly worked over the years or the world level the champions league completely out shines anything that takes place on a global nature he's actually ge

suggestion from fee for is that neighboring nations including as you said saudi arabia bahrain and u.a.e. host those extra games those sixteen extra nations but obviously those three countries are blockading qatar at the moment so that becomes very complicated the other suggestion is that q wait and i'm on host those countries but again this is not a simple decision for a favor to make because amman and kuwait don't have any facilities at the moment we're only two way eight years away from that world cup and they may not even meet fief is human rights conditions so this is it would be an oversimplification to say this is a done deal we're not expecting a final decision from favre in miami today that will only happen in june when they meet again in paris but is the important part of all this fever has said that any decision about the twenty twenty two world cup will be made in conjunction with the host nations qatar who in essence may have to give up some exclusivity who may make less money with these extra sixty nations going to these other countries so no done deal at the moment decisio
