the south of the country with the south and transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse with hope not through the i think the. situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because no serious action has been taken by either the government of yemen or by the international community and the sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that is turned really the basis of all these conflicts and. the many layers and the conflict. situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the demonstrations and the issue of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was a loss of hope both and the solution coming forward and then into the to hostilities in the conflict that exists now in the country so how does the emirate support for the separatists go along with the united arab emirates military backing of press and how does gov

policy in riyadh in riyadh even in bahrain if you criticize as the government in rehab or in united arab emirates. of course you can criticize as much as you would like qatar but not any other country if you do that then you are sent as immediately automatic sentence centers of fifty years now or the number of tweeters the people who used twitters in both in the three countries have a drop in the last three years because of these harsh sentences against anyone who tries to talk to speak outside the officials fear so the social media now is only giving i that he meaning this use this spirit for news order faking was this is what the saudi media has done in the last week or so they have said nothing they have just clinched to the official question about project g. but then they started their own account that attack on the international media on the west. and that there is a conspiracy against saudi arabia not touching upon the issue its issue of tragedy where is he what happened to him they never mention they don't talk about it inside this road and this really in this with the media in fact some o

fact a paid lobbyist for the saudi regime to close ally the equally despotic regime of the united arab emirates and last month the raaf got formally registered as a foreign agent for the americas. this is important my friends because in politics and media just like in business money equals influence and now with the magnifying glass turned up to eleven on just how much influence money can buy we must once again start watching the hawks. like you that i got. with that we. welcome on the watching the hawks i am. and joining me today to discuss how important the disclosure of influences in the media business and other businesses is the professor of journalism at george so you receive chris chambers chris so it's good to be here on. well i mean i just want to start off just so people get an idea of this is how important is for a kid is it for a consumer of new is to always be aware of the context behind who or what he is reading or what journalist he is listening to or especially in today's age of kind of this bombardment of news every day that we're getting well you know there has to be full discl

this year to find some money to replace what we've lost from the united states for example for arab countries kuwait the united arab emirates cantarell and saudi arabia have given us fifty million each so there is a success story to be told in terms of finding money to replace u.s. money but it's not enough and that is why as you indicated we unfortunately had to release some employees but from what we hear the u.n. are w.-e. employees in gaza are picketing your office there are even people standing with signs that say matthew as out why hasn't the agency done more to keep its rank and file employed well you know for me the answer to this is we have here in gaza thirteen thousand employees thousands of which work on what we call the emergency appeal we have several pots of money one of which is the emergency appeal for the emergency appeal we ran out of money completely at the end of june we had to take a loan to continue the food this. tribute to one million people it's so huge hugely significant that we were able to continue this three hundred people of the thousand have kept their jobs full time about six hundred ten had

to the united arab emirates and the country standing candidate for presidency mr mayor it's good to talk to you thank you very much and welcome to moscow thank you very much and thank you for now you've put forth your account of this see not only before the elections were formally announced but even before that a legal framework of the constitution has been agreed upon speaking when do you hope to see your name on the ballot. first of all i would like to say that the very act of announcing candidacy was a deliberate political act that was meant to encourage the holding of elections quite frankly i think only just in this is in libya have deteriorated and have fragmented and it is extremely important that we have a renewed legitimacy of a presidency that has the vote of the libyan people and that is why. he did announce the candidacy quite early in march as a matter of fact and he had to hope that the elections felt pressed yes indeed yeah indeed and i think that that was agreed and agreed in public in front of heads of state and the whole world community the paris agreement was blessed b

i mean let's say if if what he said like is true about the proxy for iran and yemen the united arab emirates and saudi arabia is a proxy as well for the united states and united kingdom supplies the although our business from there the the world was declared from washington d.c. was not declared from saudi arabia to keep just blame in iran and iran and iran actually i mean look at this the bull blockade about forty years they controlled or yemen sky they destroyed all the airport control the sea. how can it run as you mentioned supply all this weapon so this means that you are blockade actually that you started to stop the flow of weapons as you meant to yemen has failed this mean that you are responsible for all do civilians that have died because of of this idea that coalition in yemen and his previous government he when he spoke about that there was many agreement that has been signed with the jose but during the like the biggest piece told but they haven't like it kept the word he doesn't mention any agreement in if they haven't signed anything the what was in quite it was about they hav

they also found it interesting dynamic with the rule -- role of the united arab emirates in the south. they have cultivated a special relationship based on the disdain for the islam park, which is affiliated with the muslim brotherhood. they fight isis and al qaeda, which has been active in the south. it made the relationship between the yemeni government go sour. it is an interesting dynamic to watch and it brought theories that the uae is interested in the south and secession for its own interests because of the ports in the south and economic resources. i was mentioning to bruce earlier on that there is another element that often we do not think about is that there are close familial ties between the united arab emirates and the southerners. many southerners in the 70's migrated to uae. some of the fighters are in yemen are uae fighters that have families elsewhere. region, off the yemen, is closely aligned with the gulf allies. finally, i want to talk about the booth -- who the -- houthis and living conditions under could the controlled areas -- controlledhouthi areas. they have a
