Leaked emails from the u. A. E. Ambassador to the u. S. Allegedly show a plan to destabilize qatar is economy. Well take you inside australias offshore prison camp abandoned by authorities the squalor has aid groups worried about the hundreds of stranded refugees. And a food revolution Scientists Say theyre close to a breakthrough allowing crops to grow and deserts. Kuwait has joined saudi arabia bahrain in the u. A. E. And ordering its citizens to leave lebanon it comes amid heightened tensions with the Lebanese Group hezbollah and its backers iran and there are questions over the whereabouts of former Prime Minister saad hariri that his Political Party is demanding he return to beirut five days after he announced in riyadh that he was stepping down raise office says he is still in the saudi capital and denies reports hes being held there against his will. And now that you many the return of Prime Minister saad hariri head of the future movement is necessary in order to restore the internal and external balance of lebanon with full respect eliminates the gitting missy in accordance to the constitution and to the tie if accord and with respect to the arab and International Legitimacy we confirm our support for Prime Minister saad hariri and for all the decisions he makes under any circumstances and as they know how to report from beirut politicians there are worried about hearings while being. The Political Party of saddle how do you say that it is necessary that the the Prime Minister immediately returns to lebanon saying that this is of course necessary to restore stability in the country the Political Party in that statement stopping short of actually saying that they believe that the Prime Minister is detained that he is being held against his will in fact we called how do these office to ask them whether or not they believed this was the case and the response we got was we have no information so the Political Party saying he must return immediately there is throughout the day we have what we understand even the president of the speaker of parliament they are concerned they are worried about the well being of saddle had e. D. And theyve been in contact with foreign dignitaries to try to help them understand you know the fate of a he made a sudden announcement that he was resigning on saturday from riyadh and ever since hes made no other statement weve seen him yes in Abu Dhabi Holding talks with the rulers there in the day before we saw him sitting with with the saudi king but we havent heard from the Prime Minister himself so a lot of concern about the fate of saddam how did he at the same time saudi arabia calling on its citizens to immediately leave lebanon on statements like this undoubtedly is just going to cause even more tension saudi arabia making it very clear that it intends to step up action against lebanon or against those who who support hezbollah in lebanon the saudi state minister for gulf affairs actually tweeting and saying that expect eskil atory measures but theyre not saying what measures theyre going to take against lebanon it has to be made clear that the saudi the resignation of saddam had it it was a saudi move against hezbollah and saudi officials have made it very clear to lebanese officials either you curb hezbollahs influence and you are on our side or you will be considered an enemy so very Uncertain Times in lebanon. French president says hes been in contact with three reimold discuss his case with the Saudi Crown Prince during a visit to riyadh on thursday cronins denying hariri has formally requested to go to france earlier herbie resolve the said he had met the french ambassador in saudi arabia to saudi arabia rather in riyadh so just who is a visiting scholar at the carnegies middle east program he joins us live from washington d. C. Could you put in some sort of person active how unusual it is that saudi rebury resigns from another country and is still in that country and put that in context with all these other events that are happening. Look we i think we still dont know a lot of things surrounding this this mysterious way of resigning i mean not only Prime Minister saad hariri resigned from saudi arabia which is unusual and stayed there after dark but in fact his trip to saudi arabia to resign was following very shortly another trip that he made to saudi arabia so there is something kind of murky happening there i dont know exactly the details and i think no one knows them but two things are starting to be sure and they are intertwined first of all the resignation has a profound structural geo political reason which is the decision of the gulf states of saudi arabia and the emirates to embark in a confrontation with iran over lebannon but the second thing which is more tied to the saudi internal domestic turmoil that that thats occurring i mean the stations and except for the resignation happened the same day it could have happened another time and the mere fact that the interrogations are still floating about the fate of saddam how d. D. If he is confined in custody if he is tied to during the forestation be them true or not the mere fact that they are floated and that they are becoming the talk of international i mean the subject of International Statements is by itself or ring and i would say is not very well done for the image of saudi arabia it serves because it is giving the image and the idea that this is a country where some things are or currying and this is not exactly i think this country would like to give of itself is this in a intentional escalation and how much further could this possibly go. Look on the escalation side with iran over lebanon so far what we know is that the option of isolating lebanon economically is taken i mean the measures that have been announced so far give that direction and saw the order or the instruction for the nationals to leave lebanon but also we are talking now about some commercial and maybe economic sanctions about lebanon all around on lebanon so this is one line of action i would say this could take things in the direction of a qatari scenario to isolate lebanon and through that to make the Lebanese Society pay a high price for quote unquote accepting hezbollahs influence in lebanon but ignoring that lebanese dont have really the choice i mean levanon. Lebanese are. Lets say accepting against their will the situation and they dont have the means to rebel against hezbollahs might on lebanon now the second step that could be taken god forbid is to embark on a kind of Security Military adventure against hezbollah in lebanon this would take the country towards a very bumpy very rocky and probably very sleepy slow so let me ask you this yes President Donald Trump has not been has a tent to to be interpreted in a bad way by the saudi and the iraqi actors i think that they have probably perceived as a card to blow or shore a green light to go for the domestic burgess maybe for the confrontation with iran in lebanon the problem is that we are never sure if these signs were really explicit and well given and clear or if they were kind of semi cygnus if you take a crisis with qatar for example i think that the saudis and the emirati did not. Really understand what was the american coverage for them day so that probably the u. S. Would side with them again scott a very quickly. The crisis is the start of the crisis its not its not the case i think americans are watching that unfolding. And there is Something Else which is very worrying when you live in washington is that you have in fact it is from this administration i mean if you talk to state department to other other actors in American Government you get a very conciliatory tone a very calming tone and when you hear or read what the narrow circle of the presidency is seeing something gets much more much more inflammatory and much more so i think that this is a very dangerous situation its not its not a consistent message. Thank you very much joining us from washington d. C. The Whistleblower Group global leaks has released what appears to be a plan by the United Arab Emirates to destroy the qataris economy and eventually take the twenty twenty two football world cup the plan was found in hacked emails belonging to the emirate ambassador to the u. S. Who said typo alan fischer reports from washington d. C. You use colorful and controversial ambassador to the u. S. Use of allah tiber has been at the center of leak controversies in the past in recent months it was claimed the u. A. E. Paid influential think tanks to back their worldview in washington according to a series of leaked emails now its alleged an elaborate overly ambitious plan to wage financial and economic war in qatar through born the debt manipulation has reportedly been found on his computer according to the website the intercept they would then take these these bonds according to the plan and swap them back and forth among parties who from the outside look like theyre independent but are actually the same people as like me and youre trading a bond back and forth and that creates an illusion of volatility and with people aware that there is this political crisis going on then they plan as they see this enhanced volatility and traders start to panic and say oh my god something must be going on here we need to sell our own our own qatari debt which drives the price down further the outline for the plan was allegedly drawn up by the private bank of a land although its based in luxembourg its owned by a british banking family with close ties to the u. A. E. The ultimate goal create a crisis which would force the qataris to step in to support their currency draining the countrys cash reserves through these leaks the narrative in washington has changed from what was considered priorly to be. A response of Qatari Foreign policy to now a manufactured crisis by the other party to the conflict the u. A. E. And saudi arabia lead a group of mainly gulf nations which have imposed a partial blockade and cut off diplomatic relations to Qatar International efforts to broker a settlement have come to nothing the scheme to interfere with the debt and bond market was always unlikely to succeed there are just too many variables but now its been made public the Financial Markets will be watching more closely for any attempted manipulation alan fischer washington.

The two leaders talked for several hours later before the cameras trump they have surprised his host by saying the u. S. Trade deficit with china wasnt all chinas fault and i have Great Respect for you for that because youre representing china but its too bad that past administrations allowed it to get so far out of kilter they held a News Conference without taking questions where trump again pressure over north korea all responsible Nations Must Join together to stop arming and financing and even trading with the murderous north korean regime their statements offered more plaudits than substance trump said she was a special man and that is people were proud of him.
