william lawrence is a professor at the school of international affairs at george washington university he says it's very unlikely the saudis will accept the terms of a truce. well it's certainly very important that the who are let's say reassessing a little bit and stepping back from their you know month onslaught on saudi positions and the offer is quite interesting i mean on one level it's already been broken the saudis have hit who data and and this isn't reported a lot but these hold little bits of saudi territory and there are number of reasons why the saudis aren't going to accept the terms or stop their fighting and their shelling of civilian areas and everything they're doing any time soon but on the other hand it's as you said the timing is really interesting and i think even though the who have taken full responsibility for the hit on the iran coast sites in a sense they're saying you know let us step back a little bit from this conflict and please stop hitting us which implies that maybe they don't want to be the center of saudi attention right now they would like to sort of

the weapon elia passing awaway the agage of eighty three let's brig in for analysis william lawrence from george washington university professor of political science and international affairs. i'm willing the always appreciate your points of view on max's set in the mac rap on this of course right at the heart of what happened in the arab spring the q question i have for you to stop it so is june is yet today you. better off. ececonomicalally it's worse off. politically it's much much better off. i say. sometimes your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness and you could say that ben ali's. string continue just strangle economics particularly development of the coast. the most diversified error economy growth rates over 5% every year. and yet that ended up being his downfall because- his family and his wife's family scheme so much money off the top there was corruption itself. which united coastal beats with interior protesters to briring him down. there was one ststudy out of tulane university that said a hundred and eighty years. the top two hundred. tunisians farms in the

william lawrence is a professor at george washington university's school of international affairs he says the relationship between trump and c.c. is strong there's certainly a number of areas in which trump feels great affinity for c.c. and vice versa i think a lot of the u.s. policy is driven last by that then by what trumps close golf is in particularly particular saudi arabian emirates are asking him to do and then of course you remember the famous phone call to have there in libya this spring came after sisi requested it from trump following requests from the gulf so all of these issues are connected. the latest tweeting coming from the emirates in support of sisi even before some of the protests this is quite interesting but. i not so sure that there is a great. trust in sisi in washington right now and you may have noticed of course last year in the year before there were cuts to military assistance. based on human rights considerations and the latest budget put forward also proposes cutting equally large amounts if he doesn't live up to human rights consideration so already co

action and so they want but they want to show sort of a show of force a strong military hand william lawrence good to talk to you thank you very much a pleasure. and still ahead on al-jazeera. we'll have more on those massive protests that are broken in egypt demanding president step down from power. hello again welcome back well we have been dealing with a lot of flooding rain here across parts of eastern texas that was all due to tropical depression a meld and the system has now finally weakened enough that we're really not seeing too much of it here on our satellite image but the floodwaters are still going to be on the ground is going to take a week and so for that floodwater to actually recede what we're dealing with also is going to be a fun about it pushing through causing a lot of severe weather across the central plains and on sunday we do think that it's going to be even stronger with stronger storms pushing through as well but for washington for atlanta we are talking into the low thirty's a beautiful and of sunday there well across united states and then down towards the caribbean

well for more on this we can speak to william lawrence who is a professor at george washington university's school of international affairs and he joins us now from washington d.c. professor lawrence this is all escalating fairly rapidly now in a tweet president trump says there's reason to believe that the u.s. knows who the culprit is and they've already come out and accused iran now let me start by asking you about the saudi investigation into these attacks are they likely to be able to provide with any sesson to any evidence to say who did this. certainly i think the 1st thing to say is that if if the saudis couldn't defend against these weapons whether drones or cruise missiles or a combination there was some problem in tracking them but this whole area is covered by by all kinds of surveillance from satellites and from and from maritime and and so it's not that hard for both the saudis and the americans to backtrack and figure out what came from where as lawrence korb said it's quite interesting that the americans have been saying that the hits came from the north and west and yet the

when it's bringing william lawrence is a professor at the george washington university elliott school of international affairs joins us live in washington d.c. iranian leaders have welcomed donald trump's decision to sack john bolton what do you make of the iranian response and does tehran now think the chance of war is very much diminished. i think. that's the case i think bolton was the member of the national security council and trump's advisors who most wanted confrontation with iran i think trump text tends to talk you know in the words of fire and fury whereas bolton would actually like to take actions that embody fire and fury and i think the iranians believe there may be an opportunity right now but i think that they'll be deceived. for several reasons including that pompei 0 is just as much of an iran hawk as bolton was and even if they managed to get for example a side meeting at the u.n. in new york the chance that they will actually yield sanctions relief for iran which is what they're looking for is very very slim and william the sacking of john bolton isn't the same as a

. >> william lawrence, professor here at g. w. and two questions. i just came up with as a foreign service officer i was frustrated by this in large part because the american public it's clueless in many ways about diplomacy and a lot of not communicating with the respect for months and wondering what you might be trying to do to have more diplomat be speaking to the american public in other ways and other ways to what u.s. foreign policy needs. we had it up every year having to defend projects and the general public does not have much view on it. the second question is, it's very clear to me that you're integrating a lot of things here does everything get integrated just to stay on their own there's with its functions that have to be separate and not everything has to be integrated all the time and that's the concern i'm hearing about the integration that somehow we came over and messaging with your foreign policy. >> i'll take the part to. let me take this question first, yes we have just had a conversation last week with our legal colleagues to t

last night we saw on brian williams' show, on lawrence o'donnell's show, this was a disastrous showdowncorey lewandowski for five of the 5 1/2 hours just made a mockery of them and she apparently, according to "the washington post," said not only would i have held him in contempt right then and there but she said in meetings with these democratic staff members and lawmakers, that it was, you know, just ridiculous. they do have to have a vote on contempt so they couldn't have frog marched him out of the committee meeting, technically, i don't think. but for him to have gone on like that, why they didn't have rules. they have the gavel. why they didn't have rules to go right away to questioning by barry berke, the counsel. >> you're right, barry berke, you had the staff counsel to ask some very searing questions of lewandowski that actually pulled out some answers that i think democrats feel like will only aid and boost their case for xweef impeachment, but i think it also reflects the fissure between leadership and rank and file democrats, just about the entire impeachment strategy. this
