countries will be seen as that they'll be dealt with as such and as i said saudi arabia the united arab emirates they cannot ask for a specially united arab emirates cannot last for long so i think people probably should be leaving the persian gulf us with me as possible because we don't know whether trump is wise enough to recognize that this is not a winnable conflict or not well when it comes to donald trump is usually so bombastic and what not but after the strikes themselves he tweeted out that all is well so far so good on make a statement later today very calm very reserved which is in complete contrast to what he was threatening just a few days ago to hit out at least 50 plus the iranian sites why do you think that change in tone. well i think the very fact that these missiles pass through american defenses so easily and not as i said not a single one was brought down by the americans i think raises concerns in the united states that if the iranians wish to seriously take our american bases and their soldiers they have the capability and of course on the ground the americans are in a ver

will definitely consult his local allies and also regional allies as you know egypt and the united arab emirates of the major supporters of house at the united arab emirates for example has been investing a lot it has had over the past 4 years providing have those with all. the weapons crafts drawn in fact it has an air base in the east eastern region of libya so egypt along with united arab emirates the fact that they are supporting the what is called their counter revolution is in the middle east didn't want want any partnership board helped out for example that you didn't or that the western camp led by sort of which represents a majority of libya did not want in fact a partnership would have to have that as to. be in regime the military rule in libya ok i'm a hoarder thank you for bringing us right up to speed from tripoli let's now speak to him if i had he's an associate professor specializing in conflict resolution at the door high institute joining us here on set hi there thanks for your time with us from here than ours so what could be happening right now behind the scenes for the russia

pilots probably from the united arab emirates flying. flying jets from the united arab emirates in that country there have been reports that france has been involved in some sort of intelligence assistance to general huffed at times really has been involved in this region for many many years after all libya is a former italian colony there are significant italian interests and one can assume talian advisors of some sort also stationed in libya so there is already a very very significant number of foreign players that are on the ground many of them more of this in officially about this kind of mixture of interests this kind of crossing of various powers and their interests that is what makes this whole conflict so dangerous so potentially explosive german chancellor angela merkel likes to keep the watches running on time she likes or needs to be on time this one clearly looks like it will be delayed a little bit because we are still waiting for some very key players of course turkey's earlier one and of course of that to be a putin from fr

surely the us military installations on the iraqi soil i thought more of 'd attacks on the united arab emirates or saudi arabia but definitely it was going to be military bases of the united states in the region the biggest one of course the biggest air force base. there are because since so the arabia and the united arab emirates the 'd killing of in general so amounted to place 'd outside of baghdad so obviously the launching of the commanders 'd in there are the most to retaliate precisely where the killing took took place after the strikes taloqan tweeted always while far so good why do you think that sort of laid back town rather than a confrontational one we usually see from him. you know they're all playing it down i was watching american networks online and if you would show the forks news for example they are talking about the tackle for. iran on the against you know it doesn't even mention in the headlines on the u.s. military installations i think. trump is shocked they didn't expect that the contrail would be that you know and who dared to retaliate. i think that he's basically. use

you don't really have that power balance you had people who were supporting have namely the united arab emirates and egypt and others who believe that there needed to be a reversal of the crock from the arab spring of 2011 and the reinstatement of these strong men as that was talking about military individuals who essentially would continue the status quo votes or to consecrate dreams in the in the arab world whereas turkey maybe says it pushes a belief that there needs to be more poor lism in societies than in the political discourse and therefore it was trying to reach that power balance but what's significant here is that turkey in this instance doesn't seem to be working alone we have the italian prime minister now coming to anchor in the next couple hours to meet with the president so decepticons he will be meeting with to discuss obviously their views on how to move forward. this is fire significant as it may be will also be accompanied with a lot of caution because whilst there will be an agreement to stop the fighting there isn't an agreement to give up arms and the fact that you would h

on have those you know that the united arab emirates is the major supporter and provider of a lot of her have to so the pressure by the united arab emirates on have to could be one of the reasons why his change of position meanwhile could be that have to does not want to be looked at by his allies and by the regional international powers concerned with the libyan crisis as their obstacle in front of the peaceful settlement to the crisis as you know money and that the d.n.a. there. and back the prime minister faisal. already accepted this ceasefire but he says that providing that the government has its right to defend itself and to defend the capital tripoli the course or now is within not have to this force of will become mid to do this cease fire call on the ground right because the question is whether they can build on a cease fire somehow bring about a wider settlement to the civil war in the country or if this just ends up being brief for another upsurge in fighting. well. as you know maria in the past several seas fire accords have been breached by. both warring factions and the

khartoum when abbott got a letter from a recruitment company late last year about work in the united arab emirates he was delighted he would be able to send money back home to help his family he applied for a job as a security guard and was taken on by an emirates a company called black shield but when he arrived in up with he was in for a shock. and i don't know if you know i'm going to go on to go we were taken to a military camp and given training on how to handle heavy weapons most of our supervisors were marauder yes it was not the type of training you'd get for a job as a security guard when you asked why we were being trained on heavy weapons if we were supposed to work as security guards they said we could be sent to libya or yemen to protect amorality installation was. abbott is now back in sudan after a campaign by the families of those who were recruited in all about 200 sudanese men returned on tuesday and immediately went to the u.a.e. embassy how tuned to stage a protest outside they say hundreds of their fellow sudanese are still either in the emirates at training camps or in libya

the united arab emirates along with egypt france and russia they have been supporting health that for the past few years in fact the united arab emirates has been supporting have to do with. advanced weapons fighter jets and also it has in the east of the country since 2015 so it seems that there is a huge gap between the 2 that are a valid factions and it might take a long time and effort until this gap is bridges between the 2 and a very factions in libya it seems that this ceasefire is not being go observe a viable slaver factions and military commanders who are the government here say that they have been documenting several violations but have forces during the past few days remember they have to have did not sign their cease fire accord in moscow and here in tripoli in the west of libya under the control of the u.n. it is now is the government many people many people believe that this conflict is not going to end anytime soon unless have the forces leave their word of a tripoli in fact they say they cannot make any peace with have started unless have the forces retreat and go bac

percent of the libyan territory thanks to the support as we've mentioned before of egypt the united arab emirates saudi arabia and others. look i am not surprised that a dictator like sisi with 60000 political prisoners or a regime like the emirates and saudi arabia would make a public statement in one way and then covertly support the warlord in libya but france and italy to be appeasing a warlord that everyone knows is anything but a democrat and everything but a mutation of the former dictator mama look at that so what is it that they want is mind boggling when i think it's appeasement more than thinking us look let's all remember that unlike syria libya is an oil producing country and since the intervention in libya and it was on in libya that the west intervened back in 2012 simply because it is an oil rich country and now they're trying to pre-position themselves in a way that they would be on the winning side so that if after god forbids takes over the country there would have their oil interests covered now turkey went into the game late but i think indispensable in the sense that it will

won't be there because of the same time you're not inviting qatar but you're inviting the united arab emirates and egypt and it's known that the united arab emirates back. after a while qatar and turkey in particular back of the d.n.a. and this is something which is going to further exacerbate put tend to the conflict in libya but i have to say in the it seems that today what we're going to see during the conference is a feeling of resentment among the you in particular that they are now at the backstage position while the 2 key players the russians and the turks who are definitely going to be the ones to shape the future of. libya if i have to say who are the stars of today definitely putting an ad on. has similar barrel be watching those talks for us in berlin thank you has been. well a draft of that final communique expected to be released later at that conference in berlin calls on all parties also to refrain from hostilities against oil facilities now the latest attacks by forces loyal to have to have forced the closure of 5 of libya's eastern oil exporting ports they are eager bragger ra

russia which has deployed fighters to assist half to soldiers the united arab emirates egypt saudi arabia from stave all lined up behind haftar as well and while the us publicly supports the government of national accord in tripoli president donald trump has also praised toughed in the past qatar also backs the tripoli government's so here we go. ahead as it is in tripoli for us as you heard mohammed saying a lot of differing views coming out of turkey i suspect is the same coming out of various political factions in libya. well the commercial several categories of the libyan society especially in the worst of the country which is under control of the un about the government of national court they have been will coming this approval by the turkish parliament to deploy troops to fight along with the forces loyal to the government of national accord in the capital tripoli to defend the capital against. aggression this could be read in terms of sending a message to have to allies as you know that have been supported by several of the regional and international powers including russia france

we welcome now barbara leaf, former ambassador to the united arab emirates.s currently a fellow at the washington institute, and has there.ogram affair listening to the secretary and next month pressure, he was talking about iran. what kind of pressure is iraq feeling right now? they haven't acting government, and the parliament voted to ask us to leave the country. what are the possibilities of making the u.s. leave the country? are right, iraq is feeling in the middle of a squeeze play, but i want to look at that issue of what the parliament did or did not do on sunday. the headline has been that iraqi lawmakers have voted to expel u.s. forces from iraq. that is not quite a true story. in fact, there was not even a proper legal quorum for the session. there was huge pressure placed on shia parliamentarians in particular via threatening text to compelrom militias them to show up for a vote. in fact, virtually all of the members of sunni parliament stayed away, so it was not a quorum. it was recorded as such, but it was well south of that. the parliament also

foreign policy namely the united arab emirates saudi egypt there were a lot more intent on ensuring that their war specific or thorough tarion governments that continue to exist post the 2011 arab spring and on the other hand you had iran and its influences through its proxies bits and lebanon yemen or other countries there was a missing dimension many amongst the arab streets would have felt with regards to having a representation for those who neither wanted to be part of the shia are blocked or wanted to be part of the sunni bloc that was more in favor of those military governments and that's where turkey has essentially. stepped in but it does have its own interests that it wants to pursue with regards to economic issues but also looking at the fact of as you mentioned there were talking about italy in the stream of refugees and migrants maybe leaving because of conflicts a lot of them also do poor through turkey and that's something that is how this impact on it's all turkey's working at this from many different angles to your political. and from security perspectives as well it's a

should also also when we are looking at this situation we should also not forget about the united arab emirates when you are looking at the horn of the turkish government in the turkish press. according to the turkish newspaper called you need to fight for instance the united arab emirates are sending looks off weapons and when you. leave in order. to undermine the turkish interests so from turkish pour into few the situation is very much complicated and also let's not forget about the russian presence there with this wagner kompany so and nowadays libya is becoming the 2nd important war theater between russia and turkey and you know after syria and of course. you know when you know when we are looking at the cameras where we are and we are looking at this was we see that president they are doing the president putin are you know smiling to each other but on the other hand we see that both of the states are fighting against each other in a proxy war in a nun declared for ok the thoughts of hay and co and young or old czech turkey experts from the day on center and tel aviv university. and lots a

countries as well as turkey stand behind savage after his allies are russia egypt and the united arab emirates the rival leaders themselves refused to sit down at the bargaining table libyan premier assad hunch met with his ally turkish president regift time out of one war more tightly for huffed our joint talks with francis and home among others. the conference insisted that a new political process is necessary to address the country's crisis and today in berlin member states along with regional and international denies ations if sent a strong signal that we are fully committed to supporting a peaceful resolution of the libyan crisis points the real marker of the conference a success or failure won't come until it's clear if the promises made here are being kept and that could take several weeks. if this want to bring it. our chief political correspondent melinda crème melinda's good to see you so 1st things 1st does the german government view the results from this conference yesterday as a success well the chancellor was the 1st one to do some expectation management she said that this is a s

i also think that foreign nationals should leave the persian gulf region regimes like the united arab emirates and saudi arabia which are in the american i don't think are safe places to be at the moment if i was in western national i vivus soonest possible well in iraq as well i will definitely leave iraq iran as we know is vowing to avenge the assassination so what do you expect to happen next. well imagine if the americans had assassinated the. senior commander of the russian army. what response would come from moscow the americans will pay a heavy price and not only have the americans given the iranians the. right to retaliate but they united the country the whole pull the whole of iranian society is now united against the united states and they've united iraqi society now all the major political parties that have been bickering in iraq are all condemning the united states. and the others are all calling for the americans to leave and i think that there will be if the americans don't leave immediately that there will be a great deal of violence the americans had almost 200000 people in ira
