After it banned his young women from flying into or transiting through the states on friday june his year has also suspended all Emirates Airlines flights in a tit for tat response you raises the ban was imposed for security reasons but hasnt elaborated further shot ballasts reports. This was the scene at tunis airport on friday as women turned up for flights the start of a u. I. Travel ban against women and girls of all ages to be given that i was there let me know but then if not i came here and found chaos and theyre saying to an indian woman under the age of thirty cannot board emerick plane remember that morning but i arrived here only for a man to come and tell me that any woman who holds a tunis in passport is banned from boarding his airline. Two days later the u. A. E. Explains the temporary travel restriction is for security reasons the minister of state for Foreign Affairs posted on twitter they had communicated security information with tunisia and that the u. A. E. Appreciates and values to his young woman. But outrage across china zero and elsewhere grew with claims of discrimination and racism to his ears governments took immediate action the ministry of transport has decided to suspend Emirates Airlines flights to and from tunisia to the latter finds a suitable solution to operate its flights in accordance with International Regulations and conventions emirates didnt respond to our request for an interview to do confirm via twitter they were instructed to stop services to tune a spy to newseum authorities a fictive to seen between the fifth children as young as two years old will be im barred from flying i mean not many people would consider two year old threats and officials or even informing families that even if you are a one month old female baby you wouldnt be allowed to fly and you wouldnt be allowed to enter the u. A. E. Territory emirates is the only airline that flies you a direct meaning it severed the transport link between the countries its unclear if the diplomatic link will also be cut. To his ear has been trying to repair relations with the u. A. E. After its twenty eleven revolution its Biggest Political Party has strong ties to casa currently under blockades by the u. A. E. And three other arab countries its quite clear to say you know that the United Arab Emirates have been seeking to undermine his democracy. On the hundred me so this decision is the most expressive yet and the most in your face ever since the two thousand and eleven revolution emirates will remain suspended until tunisia feels it can operate within International Regulations the sudden and vague ban that newseum woman face now turned on the line charlotte dallas aljazeera. Well joining me now from the german city of bremen is nicholas no hes the codirector of the Tunis Exchange a bi partisan political Conference Held in tunisia thank you for being with us so what do you think was behind that original decision to stop choosing women flying into or transiting to. I mean first of all with any security related matters its very difficult we have to be very careful because weve seen or beers by all of these regional governments and by the way by my own government the American Government you security related concerns very expansively and oftentimes the high politics so that said we have to be careful about the security related reasons that seem to drive it im not sure if the politics on the part of the u. A. E. Is clear and i think really what we have here is it seems likely again we have to be careful that there was some security driven concern potentially in coordination with the Security Services in tunisia that initiated this step like either way it shows on two fronts an incredible immaturity on the security front there is a great disagreement as to whether or not this is actually a very efficient and smart way to handle this kind of a threat i mean do you really want to just blanket ban women from one country on a specific airline do you want to try and hamster procedure as enhanced searches except for a so theres a great argument about whether or not this is even smart an efficient but more important thing is the political immaturity whether or not it was driven by legitimate security concerns on the part of the emirates and or with elements of the secure Security Services in tunisia at the very least it came at exactly the moment when the g. C. C. Crisis the conflicts between. Saudi excedrin has been reflecting on the tunisian scene for quite some time and it actually gave the political opponents of the u. A. E. And some of their local alah it real kind of a free pass to take some really good hits at them as its being driven by a kind of anti woman or anti tunisia policy it comes by the way when were in the middle of in tunisia basically a ministerial crisis with the potential of one group in the islamist secularist socalled of few in government potentially walking out and so. I have said that thats as a result of you a pressure so basically it was an own goal that was scored by the u. A. E. Of potentially their allies on the ground in tunisia if they want to read into it and quite intelligently their political foes have made quite good hey youre at the end of the year by portraying this as a cynical old move by the u. S. To kind of hurt tunisian women were not sure what the underlying mechanics are but at the very least they stepped right into it and just on the relationship in more generally between two years in the u. A. E. Why has it been so strained recently can you talk us through the the background to that. Well this particular incident may not be the best entree to to to kind of prove three points but i think its worth it for everyone to keep in mind three anchors lets say about relationships between the u. S. And the g. C. C. More broadly one is that the u. A. E. Leadership certainly from day one has been quite frightened by the tunisian revolution of two thousand and eleven it is especially frightened by the idea of political islamist actors which is the not of the party in tunisia working with and in a Coalition Government with their socalled secular opponents in need to its that kind of fusion is actually something that is very frightening to the u. A. E. Leadership as well as other leaderships we saw recently that arguably muhammad been so man in saudi arabia was not happy about the lebanese power sharing of quezon between sunni and shia that arguably led to the tension of. So on the first level for fear of democracy and fear of power sharing between islamists and their opponents the second thing thats absolutely important is that you know this crisis was it was kind of already reflecting in tunisia and what happened was that this kind of leadership of mohammed because i indeed you eat your mohamed bin so man easily can be turned into criticism in tunisia and the broader region of this kind of leadership i. E. Untested Young Leaders extravagantly wealthy and they have no experience in politics or in war but they seem to step directly into both and quite of to see so the third thing that we really got to keep in mind is that at the end of the day the freedom and empowerment of tunisian women is a threat to male dominated our top receives around the world but definitely in the middle east ok north africa because theyre starting to want to or they want to thank you very much indeed for your. Thoughts on the subject thank you nicholas now.

To one man whose family has done it since eleven eighty seven its me of the view that saying. My name is judeo husseini im the keyholder of the church of the holy sepulcher in jerusalem and the holder of the stamp of the holy tune and that without us alive you will be the story of my family began in eleven eighty seven when Saddam Hussein are you being liberated the city of jerusalem from the crusaders i mean for the king is that the i me that you dana the sex agreed and from eleven eighty seven until today we have been holding the keys of the church of the holy sepulcher all the fish of a year and a ship if we have preserved it with our blood and soul it is our second home my job is not just an honorable job and it is not just the heritage of my family as a muslim family it is the heritage to all muslims across the world that a muslim family has held and preserved the church for eight hundred fifty years we moved back in is that what the. After me it is a feeling that cannot be described and i envy myself for being the key holder of the church of the holy several car i have been opening the door of the holy supple kurt church since i was eight years old and today im fifty three. Going to what i feel whole. For more than forty years ive had this responsibility my father gave me the seal of the grave when i was twelve years old and i sealed the tomb. Of this now i have three children and ive started teaching them that sometimes i open sometimes they open but. I can use of them the keys of the Holy Sepulcher Church are in the custody of the judeo husseini family and hopefully this will last forever my family received two keys from salaheddine are you be because there were two doors every door had two locks two doors for locks one key opens for locks the key broke five hundred years ago so we use the second one. We dont want to leave the Holy Sepulture Church it is captive just like a mosque and its the same thing and he said look at me i see it going to one image of them.

Makes a living selling what ever he can find he was once a farmer and owned his own land. Now hes among the millions of syrians this place by the war and theyre able to survive without assistance. Im not ashamed to say this there are days when im able to provide food for my family and there are other days when im not able to do that the other day i had to take two of my children to the hospital because they didnt have enough food to. Run our. Lives. And opposition controlled area that has been besieged by Government Forces for years the siege has been tightened even more recently Food Supplies are scarce and shortages have sent prices soaring at least four hundred thousand people live in east on the outskirts of the capital the United Nations has been demanding unhindered access and warns that many of syrians there face severe problems in getting enough to eat. The aid that reaches us is not enough is specially for someone like me i have to take care of seven children and my wife. Under siege it remains a war zone even though a russian guarantee deescalation deal was supposed to silence the guns and allow aid in. The building. And then we. Had fears for her children she is also afraid that her family could face further displacement the government has been using what is known as the surrender or starve strategy and it is applying it. And. If given the choice to leave or stay and live under the regimes rule i will choose to leave i dont trust them they will eventually kill us they are pressed us they starved us they killed our children. Rebels and refused to surrender but government pressure is growing already hundreds of thousands of syrians have been bused out of their towns and villages and taken to the rebel controlled province of in the north the Syrian Government calls them reconciliation agreements for the opposition those deals are forced settlements and. I dont think those who are forced to go to will ever return to their homes this is sports displacement who knows who they will give our country to its been almost eight years since Government Forces began to crush popular dissent from a position of strength the leadership is imposing its own peace but it is a peace that is sceptical to many syrians who now fear not having a place in their own country. Beirut. In the next in a series of one year five families on tuesday aljazeera talks to families who are caught up in kenyas Political Violence between police and opposition protesters. The world bank is warning that the economies of developing countries could collapse due to the rise of automation and robotics its feared that robots making clothes and footwear were undercut the cost of human workers in factories in bangladesh and vietnam in a second report on artificial intelligence. Considers what the impact of automation might be on the worlds working poor every day all over the western world goods are delivered to hungry consumers most of them manufactured half a world away over the seas by people who often earn virtually nothing and while the Fourth Industrial Revolution the age of robotics and automation promises radically to alter the lives of people in the rich world it is by no means clear whether any of the benefits will be passed on to the worlds working poor. Some Global Brands are discussing whether to reach shore manufacturing from asian sweat shops to europe where three d. Printers might make clothes or shoes the world bank has projected that in some african or Asian Countries up to eighty percent of people might lose their jobs. If its true that many workers and many of them young women particularly. Where industries opportunity going to be out of a job or their work is potentially radically reduced then to what extent will this lead to social unrest to social destitution and essentially a fundamental crisis at the heart that society others ask why someone who owns a factory in the far east would bother investing in expensive Robotic Technology but its far cheaper to keep paying workers a dollar a day the machine like that at the moment will be well beyond the reach of a factory owner in bangladesh or in china or vietnam for that matter. Secondly a machine like that is likely to break down fairly often because its its a very fine piece of equipment if it breaks down the whole factory and then many in a factory the entire factory comes to a standstill social unrest is already a fact of life it could get far worse. So to the continued and probably growing movements of people except the west they may want to move to be suffering job losses itself as automation takes over.
