Lets have a little while it. Would be commuter. Measured on saudi is a professor of sociology at katz our university told me that doha actually has gains from the gulf crisis. Basically i mean theres nobody who is more better situated than benignly to talk about when they really want because he was basically a partner of them during this crisis he was in on everything he was part of the attempts against a lot of through this design of being a replacement for the emir through what he said in the media but its clear that there was only so much that he can do and so much as he can so much that he can go to when it comes to how. Bad things he could say about i dont think this is a significant. Piece of. The tail i mean this is certainly something significant in the means that it shows how the u. A. E.

Kurdish commanders say Turkish Forces have intensified shelling against villages controls in the off districts of Northern Syria the bombardments from turkish territory began around midnight and continued into friday morning and why produce spokesman told reuters this marks the heaviest turkish shelling since the turkish government stepped up threats to launch an offensive Stephanie Decker has more from the border between turkey and syrias offering districts syrias Deputy Foreign minister is saying that its air defenses were ready and if any turkish jet violated syrian airspace it would shoot it down and i know that you know the syrians also say this when it comes to israeli jets occasionally it is a message of course that the syrians of damascus is not happy about this but i think if were really going to cut to the chase the russians that call the shots on this one and this is why weve seen the you know the chief of staff the turkish chief of staff and the head of intelligence yesterday in moscow talking to their counterparts today as well talks are ongoing to try and figure this out the turkey has been so clear i mean the political rhetoric over the last week here has been from the president from you know the foreign minister now from the defense minister saying we are going to go in with the picture on Turkish Television tanks reinforcing the board seems very embarrassing if you will if this is no if something isnt going to happen the u. S. Says it will withhold another payment to the uns Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees the forty five Million Dollars payment which was earmarked for food aid was promised last month. At the time when we provided that note that information to under we made it clear that it was a pledge it was not a guarantee and that it would need to be confirmed later at this time we will not be providing that but that it does not mean i want to make it clear that does not mean that it will not be provided in the future while this follows washingtons announcement on tuesday that it was withholding sixty five Million Dollars of a one hundred twenty five Million Dollar aid package the u. S. Provides the largest amount of funding to the agency last year the Obama Administration gave more than three hundred fifty Million Dollars order was helped an estimated five million palestinians in Education Health care and housing and is active in palestinian occupied territories like gaza and syria lebanon and jordan as well simmons has more from what im on the occupied west bank.

Completely its being withheld and of course this is really humanitarian dynamite for the palestinians because their bottom line is that theyre dependent on its a very different thing to u. N. H. C. R. Which is for refugees outside of their countries of origin this is an internationally agreed agency a u. N. Agency its got nothing to do with any attempts at peace talks anything to do with the planets politics it is a service for refugees five million new put the context together in that intro you have people who need access to this Service Teaching education a chance to try to get a job food and this is particularly what were talking about right now because this funding is directly onto the plates of those in need in montana as in gaza with a look at how this will affect families who are already struggling. This house is typical of many in the gaza strip now currently theres an electricity blackouts they get like steep blackouts for about twelve hours a day now the u. S. Is withholding food aid but what does that actually mean i know i supply things like this sacks of flour reichs its the basics that they supply you know the only supply them about once every three months so a sack of flour about this big needs to last a family of nine for that long so theres already a cute shortages. Getting. Worried because this is the only help we have to live we have no choice from where else are we supposed to get food we cant buy we cant work there is no work if they decrease to aid what shall we do theres about two Million People in the gaza strip now about one point one million of those people rely on food aid in some way or another people like these are going to be affected the most now the u. S. President has said that he wants changes to the way under operate you also once the International Community to step up and donate a lot more aid he said that the u. S. Is very generous but other countries need to step up whether by withholding it is actually taking food away from people like these the head of the Roman Catholic church is taking his environmental crusade deep into the amazon rain forest on the first full day of his visit to peru pope francis is flying to Porto Maldonado in the southeast of the country thats where hes expected to meet with thousands of Indigenous People the environmentally fragile region has been hit by deforestation and illegal mining peruse the final leg of the popes south americans who are coming off the back of his visit to neighboring chile more now from marianna sanchez.
