Late in the deployment. Right i mean that shouldnt surprise us the trouble ministration has been very bad on strategy strategies about ends ways and means so you need to have a clear and you dont you basically allocate ways and means in order to achieve your end so for the trying to stretch has been terrible in actually getting these 3 elements into a line and clearly aligned and in into a coherent approach so that you know him calling off in the last minute has 2 elements one is definitely a miscalculation him not being sure what to do hes been much of a twitter target hes been someone whos always been very reserved loot on twitter is showing strength but when it comes to taking action its been rather weak and so in this kind of context he was unsure what to do because now for the very 1st time hes been confronted with a somewhat selfmade crisis and he didnt know exactly what how to handle it so in this current context that trump himself doesnt know what what what it is that he could potentially do without pushing that envelope any further and at the same time you know there is this aspect of trump fearing that a disproportionate response here would be something that would suck him into a war that he couldnt get out of further down the line which again is something he didnt want to do so its a bit of mismanagement and its a lot of devils advocates in the room who were told him look if you do this this might be of the effect that might be the consequence and now only now he realizes that this mess of pressure can pain has such massive also consequences that would no longer this is something that you can control this is a manmade crisis that trump cannot control the americans cannot control and the iranians dont really cannot control either anymore and thats why im saying you know i think the only way forward out of this should be a diplomatic approach after all that courage that weve seen from both sides and great to get your perspective mr pritchett thanks a lot.

So lets go back now to our top story on tensions between iran the United States<\/a> joined here in this today by a tall and they just hes a visiting fellow at brookings. At the Brookings Doha Center<\/a> welcome to the program so 1st up this series of tweets that weve seen in the past couple of hours from donald trump you think is hes the balloon a little bit hes easy tensions a little bit by saying you know theres no rush we dont want to be asked right straight away we can wait well it could be part of a massive during a policy from the administration to make the iranians you know keep their on their feet but then again if you look at some of the few press reports by the New York Times<\/a> and others it seems that donald trump has been the adult in the room and there were hawkish elements of course john bolton his National Security<\/a> adviser but also the cia director who are again who were for such kind of a military retaliation to the drive to the downing of the u. S. Drone and then pulled back as he says in his tweets he pulled back 10 minutes before they were due to be due to engage but that in itself seems a bit strange and it poses questions isnt it because he wouldnt have been told about the potential fatalities 10 minutes before deployment would he open for engagement he would have been for you in the brief way before the planes took off i would assume the part of the pentagon spring thing is also to talk about casualties in the wake of military strikes but as i said earlier this might be part of a messaging policy to iran. But all this episode shows us that the entire situation is very tense and if were talking about 10 minutes. We have we have been very close to a kind of a military strike against iranian facilities that wouldve also pushed iran to retaliate so it seems that the on and off you know policy is just a signal that how tense the situation is and outside all of the rhetoric in the in the strong talk how will iran irans leadership be viewing this whole situation especially given that it appears they were 10 minutes away from being attacked well they mightnt. Printed in the fashion that actually the tribe administration or President Trump<\/a> himself is not interested in war so this might be the calculation by iranian hardliners that you know one and a half years before the president ial elections trump is unlikely to go to war this is why iran can engage in some kind of brutality measures as weve seen you know in some incidents perhaps over the past few weeks and those measures would not elicit responses from the United States<\/a> so this might be only a confirmation of this calculation and had the u. S. Strikes taken place. Iran would have retaliated well if really 150 people would have been killed i think that in the iranian response would have been likely. Just demonstrates the seriousness of where we are absolutely so everybodys talking about this exit ramp where is it well the exit ramp is very difficult but for now it seems that both sides both the United States<\/a> and iran are not interested in a large scale military confrontation both sides both leaders have time and again also during the past few days that war is not in their interest from the iranian side weve heard from the secretary of the Supreme National<\/a> Security Council<\/a> of iran saying that you know were not interested in war weve heard similar you know reaction similar statements from the washington side as well but then again there are hardliners in both sides who might want to see a military escalation but for now neither side can really manage the ramifications of a war has also said its not interested in talking so whos going to mediate here house is there going to be any resolution this is indeed very difficult as weve seen from the failed mediation by the japanese Prime Minister<\/a> believe it was last week. Where the iranians have these public pleas no were not interested to talk to mr trump hes not trustworthy so the iranian strategy might be to wait out mr trump but then again if you look at the iranian Economic Situation<\/a> i think that sooner or later they have to engage in some kind of negotiations with the United States<\/a> because the only the u. S. Can do something about this have the sanctions regime that has. The prospects of solving the economic crisis in iran all right well leave it there do appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed ali for telling the judge thank you. Now protests are being held in jordans capital against the u. S. Peace plan for israel and palestine demonstrators say the proposed deal will be tilted in favor of israel the economic component of the plan is expected to be unveiled at a conference in bahrain next week President Donald Trump<\/a> Senior Adviser<\/a> and son in law is expected to chair the meeting. The u. S. Senate says a valve to block a 1000000000. 00 in arms sales to saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates<\/a> and other countries a handful of republicans joined democrats in whats being seen as a protest against President Trump<\/a>s support for Saudi Crown Prince<\/a> mohammed bin solomon john hendren reports now from the u. S. Capitol where congressional disapproval in the u. S. Senates republican firewall protecting President Trump<\/a> there is a visible crack in my relationship with saudi arabia is forever changed and it will not go back to the way used to be with key support from trump ally Lindsey Graham<\/a> and a handful of other republicans this senate voted to block the president from selling billions of dollars in u. S. Arms to saudi arabia you cannot have a strategic relationship the United States<\/a> and behave in a fashion that shows no respect for Human Dignity<\/a> no respect for international norms. President trump is certain to veto the measure and its not likely opponents will muster the 2 thirds majorities they need in both the house and the senate to override a veto but with the u. S. Facing a potential military conflict with iran the Senate Republican<\/a> leader says it is no time to abandon a key regional ally so the question the senate will show him consider is really the. Whether will lash out at an imperfect partner and undercut our own efforts to build cooperation shock around and achieve other important goals. Or whether well keep our imperfect part close and use our employers are there any for a majority of senators the answer was to punish the Worlds Largest<\/a> arms importer in the resolution is passed it was a protest over saudi agents killing of. An american resident in journalist for the Washington Post<\/a> always so blind to the malign influence of saudi arabia that we just give money and weapons to anybody regardless of what they do you can chop up a dissident you can cut a dissident into pieces without bone saw and will still give you weapons it was also a protest over the killing of civilians by the saudi immorality Led Military Coalition<\/a> using american weapons in the war in yemen ideas are bombs that are dropping on those civilians we cannot morally continue to support such a sale or the vote might not be veto proof but it sends a message to trump into the crown prince of saudi arabia that neither the threat of a conflict with iran nor a Longstanding Alliance<\/a> are enough for the u. S. Senate to turn a blind eye toward its allies john hendry aljazeera washington. And saudi arabia is also being sanctioned by the United States<\/a> on people trafficking the state department has added the kingdom and cuba to the list of countries failing to meet minimum standards for most inten has risen in jordan. The u. S. Government is calling on other countries to more vigorously enforce their anti trafficking laws the secretary of state Michael Pollan<\/a> peo said this isnt just an expectation but there will be consequences if other countries dont do more to address the problem last year president to certain types of assistance to 22 countries that were ranked for tear 3 in our 2018 to proport. That action and the message that flows where that is very clear if you dont stand up to traffic america will stand up to you a notable shift on the list this year saudi arabia that had been on the tier 2 watch list for the past several years but the u. S. Assessment is that saudi arabia has not addressed the problem of trafficking within its borders and so it has been downgraded to tier 3 its worth pointing out however that saudi arabia is not on the list of countries that employ child soldiers even though the report does note multiple media reports indicating that sudanese teenagers have been employed in the civil war. The opposition in syria is accusing the government of using siege and starved time to force war refugees from a camp in the does it around 14000 people have left the camp in the past 3 months is in a hotel reports its clear how many of the remaining 27000 are ready to return to government controlled territories rock band camp was home 240000 syrians for more than 4 years and the past 3 months it started to empty more than 14000 have left this remote desert region along a corridor opened by Syrian Government<\/a> forces its the only way out.

Bank of 8 loaves of bread cost 500. 00 syrian liras or 1. 01 q will of fries cost 1. 00 and a half is this possible people dont have money if you shop owners here are controlling the prices in the do not fear god we have no one to help us but. The evacuations are organized by the Syrian Government<\/a> which is giving the refugees one choice return to government rule or stay in what aid agencies have described as extremely challenging conditions. People are leaving because of poverty but then the regime sends them to the front lines to fight they dont come back they are either killed by the opposition or the assad regime and iranian militias we hope they open a road to the north to rebel areas or to any other country we dont want to go back to living under the regime. The city of government is refusing to open an internationally guaranteed safe passage to opposition controlled territories it has also been preventing the United Nations<\/a> from delivering much needed aid to look bad for the past 4 months the United Nations<\/a> says these people are in need of food medicine and water but it cant do anything without consent from government leaders in damascus.

In essence we in the United States<\/a> have privatized the ultimate Public Function<\/a> more shadow while on aljazeera. U. S. President donald trump says he called off strikes against iran because the fatalities would have been destroyed disproportionate to the downing of an american drone. Iran shows off the unmanned craft and says its forces made a decision not to shoot down a u. S. Spy plane with 35. 00 crew on board. And i mean this is out there live from doha also coming up traffic at a standstill again and protesters say theyre not leaving until they get what they want. Around to the repeats election for the mayor of istanbul to deliver a different result. So u. S. President donald trump called off a retaliatory military strike on iran just 10 minutes before it was supposed to go ahead in a series of tweets in the past the u. S. Commander in chief says hes in no hurry to launch any action claiming any attack would be disproportionate to thursdays shooting down of an unmanned drone lets go now to our White House Correspondent<\/a> kimberly how get him to tell us more about what the president has been saying. They were used to donald trump sending Early Morning<\/a> tweets but these one certainly different in terms of the nature giving us a sense of what was going on in the president s mind and why he abruptly decided to turn around the aircraft that was in the air prepared to strike on iran the president writing in a series of Early Morning<\/a> tweets on monday iran shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters<\/a> we were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sites when i asked how many will die 150 people sir was the answer from a general 10 minutes before the strike i stocked it not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone i am in no hurry our military is rebuilt new and ready to go by far the best in the world sanctions are biting and more added last night iran can never have Nuclear Weapons<\/a> not against the United States<\/a> of america and not against the world those are the tweets the words of donald trump giving us some insight into why he decided to turn around that aircraft i can tell you that much of washington is still in shock that this even occurred that the United States<\/a> came so close to some sort of military confrontation at least on the part of the United States<\/a> and now kind of moving forward with what happens next we could tell you that here at the white house nic the u. S. Secretary of state is expected to have lunch with the u. S. President this was already on the schedule they do it often almost weekly but a lot of interest in that meeting unlikely that the secretary of state will speak but still that is being watched very carefully we should also confirm that al jazeera has determined that the u. N. Security council now taking up the issue of iran given just how close things have come in the last 24 hours in terms of a concern of some sort of confrontation the u. N. Security council on monday afternoon will have a closed door meeting so watching this very carefully and one other bit of news this just half a. We understand the u. S. President will be sitting down with an American Network<\/a> to give an interview to talk about iran with those clips of dalal in the coming hours perhaps later on this evening washington time so we are certainly getting more insight from the president not just for his tweets but potentially also later on in the sit down interview that is imminent no doubt we shall be talking to you again as this washington day draws on thanks very much and timing can be well the tense standoff continues between the United States<\/a> and iran terror on denying reports that it was warned of an imminent attack it was given a deadline to engage in talks those are sent this report now from to run these are allegedly parts of the u. S. Drone that iran shot down over the strait of hormuz iran says a drone was in its airspace. That was as in the past forces showed that on National Security<\/a> is a red line we gave a warning to the stone in 2 steps and several times in each step this drone has a Communication System<\/a> which transfers the message back to base on a 40 they didnt respond to give a last warning at 355 and when it continued into our territory it was shot down of 5. Iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are trying to go rickly faults the aircraft was over the strait of hormuz and fell into International Waters<\/a> in a meeting with the canadian Prime Minister<\/a> on thursday trump had this to say i think probably iran. I made a mistake i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid president has made clear in the past he favors some form of negotiation to resolve the crisis rather than armed action but the situation remains extremely volatile Many International<\/a> airliners are now voting in the area. Just last week to oil tankers were targeted in the strait of hormuz the us blamed the arabians the iranians the 9 vols meant the revolutionary guard says it has exercise restraint and now so has the u. S. President but these are still dangerous developments that could ignite this entire region dorsetshire pari al jazeera terror on under a screen is an assistant professor in the Defense Studies Department<\/a> Kings College<\/a> london he says diplomatic channels must be entertained by both sides urgently if a military escalation is to be avoided. What we see now is that both sides have escalated to an extent where there is really no further escalation without really passing this threshold of war so so far weve been under the threshold of war i think the downing of a spy unmanned spy drone is also something that remains under the threshold of war and so thats why i think weve seen restraint weve seen restrain of the iranian side of the rain is was saying we are willing to hit a manned aircraft this p. 8 that was also flying in that area and the same time we see donald trump exercising restraint because you know hes going into into election and into complains into for 2020 and he knows that war in the middle east is highly unpopular with his base and across the country and its very he himself has always said hes not interested in another military escalation no major combat operations and both sides understand there is very little you can do in terms of surgical strikes without actually blowing this entire powder keg open and thats why i think were now at this very very very tense Tipping Point<\/a> where both sides should agree and should understand that there is no further pushing the envelope without going busy into major combat operations and at this point i think diplomacy is very right and i think that the americans at this point holds a this point also understand that probably the iranians were tested and the rain is responding with a lot of resolve and they are the ones that are in the drivers seat here because they control quite a lot of assets across the region and they have a political will that the americans dont have. Well lets take a look at the type of train that was shot down the queue for a global hawk and cross system is one of the u. S. Militarys most sophisticated pieces of hardware it provides intelligence and surveillance in real time and can reach an altitude of 60000 feet thats 18000 meters which is way higher than a commercial aircraft flies and it doesnt come cheap Industry Experts<\/a> say that 100. 00 unknown costs about 100 30000000. 00 its been used in iraq and afghanistan in north africa and parts of the Asia Pacific Region<\/a> Matthew Driscoll<\/a> is the editor of asian aviation news magazine and he says commercial airlines are trying to avoid getting caught in the potential crossfire its an incredibly busy area i mean. Dubai all the middle eastern carriers theres a lot of traffic that goes through that area and i think that thats a problem the short term problem is everybodys going to have to do some rerouting or recruiting. So the flights may take a little bit longer they may have to put on some more fuel that may increase costs a little bit for the airlines but i think the f. A. A. And the airlines are acting out of an over abundance of caution which is a good thing because they dont want to have another Malaysian Airlines<\/a> that was shot down over the ukraine in 2014 and going back even further in history they dont have another iran air flight 655 that was shot down by the u. S. Navy in july 1908 im actually looking at a British Airways<\/a> flight that left from new delhi and normally it would have a pretty straight shot over the gulf. And now its taken a hard right turn and it is flying over the middle of iran right now so its not flying anywhere near the persian gulf so youll see everybody kind of flying to different directions. Because they want to avoid the gulf.
