the united arab emirates is ending a military training program in somalia and closing a big hospital there this comes in the wake of a growing dispute between the two countries but why the u.a.e. and other regional nations interested in somalia this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm peter dubey somalia has been in conflict for much of the last twenty five years bucks this horn of africa nation has been showing signs of recovering and that's provoked interest from many regional countries including the united arab emirates this gulf nation has been conducting a military training program and running a hospital in the capital mogadishu but the u.s. government has now abruptly ended its involvement on both those fronts after a series of recent diplomatic disagreements will bring in our guest in just a moment but first let's set up today's discussion with our correspondent mohammed oh. the usa iran ship zite hospital in mogadishu and now close to the public staff there say they received orders to stop operations in definity the facility or for treatment mainly to poor i

apparently the united arab. emirates helped hack the qatari. news network and inserted all kinds of false news and so on so forth and then that that to the blockade where trump sided openly with saudi arabia and the. not that of him it's against the almost accusing it of to supporting terror and so on so forth since then we've really moved full circle now you know friendly relations on a personal level qatar is an important strategic ally and a force of stability in the middle east full partner with the united states as you stated earlier for economic partner as well so i don't or you could say that the lobbies but also cut thirty position and apparently the administrations have really moved back and forth but now we're back to where they were right so what it is going to mean for the crisis itself. if you take the new york times reporting on this issue face value and i think apparently they did speak to high up admit station officials and their report this morning on the new york times was that the trump administration

while that nader can hook up with the robert mueller investigation with connections in the united arab emirates that the u.a.e. where he is advisor to the crown prince of dobby has helped arrange a meeting with a trump liaison and a russian official in the seychelles but what we're learning more is that he didn't just ten generally have connections with russia he has had a relationship with russia that goes back for many years he helped broker an arms deal between iraq and russia that later fell apart but he also knows key people in this investigation one of them is carol demetrius he's a russian state investment fund manager and so what we know now is that muller can ask him not just about these u.a.e. connections but also about his connections with russia and we have evidence in the new york times article to suggest that miller is following up miller apparently had his people stop an australian on to a producer who was traveling in washington at the airport about his ties with the u.a.e. and about nader and russia and we also know that he stopped in all of our kit in new york airport asked ab

who's been cooperating with his investigation it says george nader has connections to the united arab emirates and russia and that he might be able to link to important parts of the inquiry john hendren is following this story for us from washington how could george native be of assistance to them under investigation. well nader seems to be a gold mine for a mole or we knew beforehand that he had connections with the united arab emirates that he had acted as an agent for the crown prince of jobby at what we now know is that he also has significant russian ties that is according to reporting by the new york times it's out today that he knew carol dimitri of a russian investment fund manager that's important because that is the russian official a russian oligarch apparently who met with an emissary from the trump campaign in the seychelles in a meeting apparently arranged by this george nader and we know that muller has followed up on some of these suggestions that he has pulled a russian oligarch that he's had his his officials pull aside a russian all the guard who was at an airport in new yor

the united arab emirates is ending a military training program.

in yemen with bombs from the mediterranean time factories from cape town saudi arabia the united arab emirates are among the customers and egypt as we discovered when arms factory is on the completion. of a country where hopes for democracy after the arab spring were put down with guns about tom's went dissidents simply disappear. where the military has seized back power and general abdel fattah el-sisi rules with an iron fist. a few defeats especially insidious the man in charge of egypt is mr el-sisi who many compatriots say is even worse than mubarak egypt is also taking part in the yemen war by helping with marine patrols i don't think we should accept this so it's effectively undermining south africa's democracy at the same time as being able to get weapons into destinations that might be completely undemocratic that might be engaged in conflict. we wanted to ask about the allegations and find out about all the other factories but nobody wanted to talk with german media insisting that it was a south african company but it belongs to a german company flies a german flag at the factory gate

says that allegation has no basis a lebanese american businessman who advises the united arab emirates may also have new information for waldemar his investigation about russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen us presidential election the new york times is reporting that georgia now the may also be able to link the two important strands of the inquiry together. brazil's supreme court has ruled that former presidential louise inacio lula da silva can be sent to prison he could be detained as early as next week despite brazil's he could be jailed rather as early as next week following a villain in the form of the supreme court he had been trying to stay. while he appealed to bribery convictions the decision will have widespread implications for the next. when a third term a latin america editor reports from the capital. the die is cast as demonstrators for and against brazil charismatic former president. gathered outside. the supreme court narrowly voted against his petition to remain free while he appeals a twelve year corruption conviction this means brazil's most popular

a coalition that includes the united arab emirates from that time the u.a.e.has concentrated on growing its influence in the south and large part by funding and training to yemeni groups each with different agendas and which appears to be a holds for the saudi led coalition one of them is the szabo army elite forces there a mix of hardline groups since a session ists who want the south to break away from the rest of yemen completely something saudi arabia is opposed to another is the security belt forces in aden they've been openly fighting had these forces the very group the saudi led coalition stepped in to support the forces don't necessarily want the same thing and it's quite possible that the governments of u.a.e. and saudi. likely different outcomes in yemen so the level below containing iranian influence the killings have prompted dozens of religious leaders to abandon their mosques and seek refuge elsewhere. it's the latest twist in the three year long civil war which has killed thousands and threatened famine for millions of yemenis medium hond al-jaz

notter had been known as a fixer for the united arab emirates a close adviser of crown prince of abu dhabi mohammed bin ziad. and was looked at in that regard by the mother team but it becomes increasingly clear now in the new york times report makes this clear that he had also has a history of being a fixer for mosco so he was involved in a twenty twelve attempted arms deal between iraq and moscow for instance a legal arms dealer well it was. so riddled with corruption that it was cancelled didn't go through and then he has been put at meetings between trump representatives and curial dmitri of who is a hedge fund manager in moscow who is family connections with the lighting near putin what is it exactly about mr navas activities that this investigation will be focusing on well the question is did he find a way to funnel money into the trump campaign it's illegal for foreign entities to and individuals to give money to u.s. campaigns but of course they could use cutouts they could use american to forward the money and it has been alleged recently that mr nodder wired money to elliot

you know playing games by the crown prince of the united arab emirates not going to washington until after the emir of qatar visits washington in order to counter argument to argue against got that and so on so forth all these games i think are becoming a bit too stale and boring in washington a washington that really wants to move on a number of important dossiers and then in the middle east and it feels that its own interest meaning american interest is being undermined by it good to stick a leaders who just don't want to just get in line and just do what they must do in order to establish a bit more stability in the gulf region of course no one can really address me as posed the timing of this release of the statement when we've had the saudi crown prince and the emir of qatar both visiting the white house in recent days. yes i think the idea that the president could not hold an immediate summit for those gulf leaders in order to mend fences because of apparently objections by the saudi and the about i think leadership perhaps the egyptian leadership as well i think that sort of u

connection whether money was funneled from the united arab emirates into the trump campaign or its allies we can also ask about russian collusion whether russia helped trump in that campaign so that intertwines two parts of two major strands of this investigation and of course nader is a cooperating witness he has an immunity deal and that means he is protected when he talks to miller and he isn't the only figure who has made a deal with rob a lot of there are those that have been questioned on l. cooperating with the investigation how is the inquiry making progress. well we know that motor has been recently following up on both of these threads you've been stopping people in airports his agents have stopped a russian oligarch at an airport in new york questioned him about ties to russia taken his phone and electronic devices which they're presumably going over now they also stopped an australian businessman and questioned him about ties between trump and the united arab emirates that it was another that was a cooperative investigation we don't know if this came from nader we don't know i

fees or someone that they financed and that saudi arabia and the united arab emirates did in fact try to manipulate the american presidents for their own sort of narrow. interests short sighted interests that's for sure and so at this point in time i think the american president i don't want to say he's upset but i'm sure if the conversation went anything like with the with the saudi king it would have been look we're too old to play games like that young mohammad's the n.b.c. and the us might want to play such games but we can't afford that we need you to mend fences with qatar and of course you know he's mentioned a little this would full stillness towards the saudi king is quite emphatic but it seems that even the fulfill the sponsors falling on deaf ears regardless of what the president wants in the long term. that's true and unfortunately i mean what we've seen over the last several months is much of it is not based in reality certainly not based in truth and not state states like it's not statesmen like that's definitely not the case meaning it's not putting state interests abov

the united arab emirates has suspended operations at a hospital it ran in somalia's capital mogadishu it comes amid growing bilateral tension which is seen businesses banned and marotta diplomats searched in somalia mohammed atta reports. the u.a.e. iran ship zite hospital in mogadishu and now close to the public staff there say they received orders to stop operations in definit. we met the u.s. ambassador at his residence and we asked him about the hospital status and if it had been closed he told us that funding for the first stage of operating the hospital had run out and that they were forced to shut the hospital until second stage funding were available he said reopening the hospital could happen at any time without preconditions the facility offered treatment mainly to poor on this please people in the somali capital medical workers also performed lifesaving surgery on those injured in mogadishu as frequent car bomb attacks confirmed how they are this is basically a punishment for the people of somalia for simply defending their sovereignty if the u.a.e. had opened a hospital fo

from the statements we've heard from president trump in june last year when he sided with the united arab emirates and saudi arabia again scott that of blaming it for tat or blaming it for instability. at this point in time referring to the emir of qatar in his first name to mean talking about the gentleman the gentleman i knew from before i entered politics clearly the administration the top administration has moved hundred eighty the greens from being a bit hostile since the stomach saudi summit in riyadh into today now of course at the top and mr should have moved back and forth on a number of issues but clearly on this issue there has been many pure nation of information and manipulation of lobbying and manipulation of various administrations including apparently the president's son and lo by the united arab emirates so i think we've moved in a way nic from the shock of the blockade against qatar to the revelations what's who's behind the blockade of qatar into what you would call now the clarity whereby now the americans and the qataris are back to where you where they were last year or they

until today we move from excellent to excellent relations it seems in the process the united arab emirates egypt saudi arabia and bahrain have tried to muddy the waters if you will between the united states and qatar they implanted fake news in their gut that news service and so on so forth blockaded cutter and apparently manipulated a good number of people out on trump. but certainly we've moved from that shocking moment back in june six was it two thousand and seventeen on. blockade in qatar into excellent relations as we've heard today between covered on the united states and very briefly on this what's it like to do as far as or mean as far as the ongoing crisis gulf crisis is concerned i think if we understood from the new york times piece today quoting senior officials in the top administration now the president sees that it's the united arab emirates that is. putting the. obstacles if you will in the way over a solution of the gulf crisis i think we're going to see in the moving forward more pressured by the united states and saudi arabia and the united arab emirates to resolve the

cooperating with robert mueller as investigation it says joyce naida has connections to the united arab emirates and russia and that he may provide information that links those two strands of inquiry neda is well known as an advisor to the united arab emirates but the extent of his links to russia have not previously been disclosed nader allegedly used his ties to organized secret meetings between u.s. officials and russian oligarchs and he's alleged to have travel frequently to russia on behalf of the iraqi government has been in john hendren in washington d.c. nader now also reported the link to russia quoting to the new york times to what extent and what does it say the investigation is focusing on now. well foley this shows that george nader is a valuable witness for robert mueller he's got an immunity deal so on the one hand he has little fear of prosecution however on the other hand he really is required to give a lot of information because those immunity deals come with conditions one of those conditions is that you answer all questions truthfully so we knew before that he had ties to the

increasingly important role in the so-called russia probe george nader has close ties to the united arab emirates and is to facto ruler the crown prince of abu dhabi according to a new york times report special counsel robert is also questioning nader and others about his previously undisclosed ties to russia john hendren has the story from washington. in the probe into russian meddling in the u.s. election george nader appears to be the witness who keeps on giving the lebanese american business man's ties to the united arab emirates are well known but according to a new york times report nader also has previously undisclosed ties to russia meeting with russian oligarchs and negotiating an ill fated arms deal between russia and iraq in two thousand and twelve and i think that we will continue to get a wealth of information from mr nader and i think not only russia but it seems as though mr nader has almost a worldwide network of people at very high levels that he puts together to collaborate in various and sundry schemes that are supposed to be under the radar screen if you will for special couns

i think the united arab emirates does not want to deal with qatar at this point in time and i think so is not that enthusiastic for the deal why for the simple reason and i've always argued that for almost a year now it's very hard to climb down a palm tree can we expand the money men you know are let go they say it's very hard it's very hard to climb down a tree once you made a big mistake i think there were others in the saudis made the mistake of hacking the qatari news service and launching a kind of psychological warfare against qatar and they're almost wanted to invade got that according to various intelligence reports and then it all backfired and then it was all would always clear for everyone including the trump or in the beginning supported the united arab emirates and saudi arabia that this was all wrong and that got it does combat terror and it does have a major american base and that it is an ally of the united states also for so the saudis and the americas need to climb down the tree because they made a big miss of it and now it's been almost a year but in the gulf it's n

international solidarity to the people of yemen these are the biggest donors saudi arabia and the united arab emirates they've contributed almost half the money but human rights organizations said those donations did not absolve the two gulf states for their role in the war. many of the military actions in yemen were instigated by the saudi led coalition which has fought hutu rebels for three years even the stuff that we find it absurd to see that countries like saudi arabia are donating huge sums of money to solve the humanitarian crisis and ultimately they're partly responsible for the crisis. yet the united nations need to so does money even if the conflict can't be solved simply by aid. the solution has always been political and also yemen what we need is a political solution for these pledging conference is not to be repeated at the moment though the weakest are suffering the most and there's no end in sight for the crisis. all right we want to go back now to that breaking news reports of a live shooting event taking place in california in san bruno at the headquarters of you tube that is what po
