Hello welcome to this aljazeera news hour live from doha imo team dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes. The u. S. Secretary of state blames the four countries blockading cata for failing to end the standoff. It stuns me that a member of congress with a listen in on a conversation. Absolutely stuns me president trying to change his staff gives an emotional defense of his bosss reported remarks of a grieving war with. The e. U. Rules out intervening in spain succession crisis as madrid prepares to impose direct rule on catalonia. Find out why hundreds of thousands of iraqi kurds streaming out of kid cook days after baghdad regained control of the city. Your suggests a direct silis and has criticized the four countries imposing an economic blockade on qatar for refusing to engage in talks to diffuse the crisis now in june saudi arabia the u. A. E. Egypt and bahrain they close their airspace and they seven trade and diplomatic links with chatter last month President Trump offered to mediate between the policy isnt and said that he hoped the issue would be resolved quickly but now mr tillerson they say that there is little hope of a resolution anytime soon well he is due to visit the gulf in the coming days his the state Department Spokeswoman we want to see these come. Keep their focus on the areas of mutual cooperation that we have and that includes the fight against terror terrorism and other things of that nature so i think the secretary is you know certainly discouraged that nothing has been resolved just yet hes talked pretty consistently although folks havent havent paid much attention to it reese recently about the disappointment that the nations havent been able to solve the g. C. C. Crisis we hope that they well we hope that theyll sit down and have talks but it seems like theyre not ready to do that yet by this girl ive got to hide our correspondent in washington d. C. And the secretary of state making no bones about it hes hes really placing the blame on the shoulders of the four blockading countries. Thats right and what we heard today in this interview that Rex Tillerson gave to Bloomberg News was a change in tone now the optimism that we heard three months ago when tillerson last visited the region is gone completely in this interview he said that he that the countries that are initiating this blockade are showing a real unwillingness to engage while qatar is willing to open that chain of dialogue now there has been a lot of frustration on the part of of tillerson as you heard from the state Department Spokeswoman regarding how long this dispute has dragged on we are now into the fourth month and tomorrow when he heads to riyadh and then on to doha he has indicated that we initiating these talks and pushing toward sooner resolution will be his goal was the same time today setting that expectation pretty low saying that this will likely drag on for a while clearly the fact that hes bothering to undertake this mission to come to the go that would signify that he thinks that there is some room for maneuver that he can possibly effects of positive change. Thats right he certainly is doing this with some hope of a positive outcome he did this in july when you employed shuttle diplomacy between saudi arabia and qatar but it is also notable that this is a very different stance than what the u. S. Policy toward this gulf crisis started as back in june when this crisis began if you remember President Donald Trump immediately jumped on twitter siding with saudi arabia in trying to take claim some credit for the blockade saying it was a result of his visit to the region well since then the white house has been much more quieter on the subject the state department has taken the lead on finding a diplomatic solution and the Defense Department has also intervened last month there were plans for some joint exercises between the u. S. Military and its Gulf Partners in the region those were suspended into the department of defense in the interest of regional unity and we also saw secretary of defense jim mattis paid a surprise visit to doha last month visiting the u. S. Military base there and also meeting with qatari diplomats and officials all of which is to say that this there is a tremendous amount of activity happening in the u. S. On the cabinet level to try to address this crisis even though the administration has been largely silent which is another indicator of how fine of a line the u. S. Is trying to walk here in helping its various u. S. Allies reach a resolution. Thank you. Now the white house chief of staff has defended president s reported remarks this week to the widow of a slain soldier President Trump is accused of being insensitive during a phone call to the widow her husband was killed in an ambush in asia this month a member of Congress Says she actually heard the president s comments john kelly told a white house News Conference that he was broken hearted by the criticism of President Trumps effort to offer his condolences i watch house correspondent kimberly how could how small. The white house is continuing to try and contain the controversy surrounding the president s condolence call to the widow of sergeant Le David Johnson he is one of four u. S. Soldiers killed in earlier this month the president s chief of staff made a rare appearance to the White House Briefing room speaking with emotion he says that he told the president not to make that call but if he did he says he advised donald trump to tell the family that the soldier knew what he was getting into something that donald trump denied just one day earlier he knew he was going to self into it because he enlisted theres no reason why list the list that he was where he wanted to be exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his wife was taken that was the message that was a message that was transmitted it stuns me that a member of congress were to listen in on a conversation absolutely stuns me. And i thought at least that was shaken now the democratic congresswoman who listened in on that call and who has been a critic of the president for some time Fredricka Wilson says in fact that it is her belief and she maintains that she believes donald trump did disrespect Sergeant Johnson in that call she knows the family well she has known him since he was a child mentoring him before he enlisted as a soldier still the white house is taking aim at the congresswoman saying that not only is her argument inappropriate in fact the chief of staff calling her actions selfish behavior or i would go back to earlier story that of the g. C. C. Crisis and Rex Tillerson the u. S. Secretary of states comments pretty much blaming the for blockading countries for there having been no progress in this particular dispute we can just show on whos executive director of the arab center in washington hes joining us live now via skype just first of all to find out what you think about the tone of the tellus and comments hes venturing up to the go quite soon but hes also trying to manage expectations it would appear. Definitely you know first of all it is normal upon embarking on trips like that to kind of lower expectations. If you will but judging basically or comparing this trip. With the previous one going back to say the last one going back to july there was a lot more optimism on the part of the u. S. Secretary of state and his team then we find today based basically on their failure over the past four months to find a political solution to this crisis but yet you know hes trying. To sort of this stop to try to kind of resuscitate if you will the earlier efforts that he spent on this conflict now four months into this dispute what do you think is the real motivating factor the Real Driving Force behind the action taken by the full blockading countries against kasa some people suggest its the m. V. A. Over the world cup. Im not sure if its thats all i mean there is the over the world cup but im not sure its the sole reason for this i have a feeling that this is essentially a political conflict over different perspectives with regards to local regional and International Politics and an attempt to dictate to cut out and force it to abide if you will or adopt the same positions as the countries that are engaged in boycotting it but its also based on misunderstanding particularly on the part of the boycotting countries they thought that was going to be an easy task its going to be a short if you will project this time and particularly since they received initial support from President Trump they kind of overestimated the impact of that support through the tweeting Foreign Policy that he engaged in during the first few days of the crisis and they underestimated the reaction of the world and the ability of contact was tanned this pressure all right given that what prospect is that then full mista to listen to come to the region with not necessarily a magic bullet but at least some creative diplomacy that might help the full brocaded nations climb down from their positions presumably is a face saving measure thats required. It is essentially a face saving measure but im sure that he doesnt have anything new. Today as you know arrives and in saudi arabia. Compared to what he already presented to the parties. He believes that as i said earlier that this is a centrally political conflict at banks for a political solution and he feels that the parties know exactly what they need to do he is willing to i think in his services and that is the administration to negotiate if you will the government fees and to even offer to go and teach that particularly the saudis have asked from qatar through u. S. Auspices but the response has been as i said because somehow the saudis thought that the u. S. Thought that the u. S. Is going to basically retreat from its position position which debuted today as somehow siding with qatar or rather than being on the right side of the equation right how josh thank you very much my pleasure thank you now their support for spain from european leaders is the catalan secession crisis escalates bot the e. U. Itself says it will not intervene in the dispute spains Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has secured the backing of the french president emmanuel mackerel as well as the german chancellor Angela Merkel they met ahead of a two day summit taking place in brussels the leader of the European Council donald tusk has ruled out any European Union role in the dispute between madrid and barcelona. Of course for many reasons and the permanent conductor is the Prime Minister. Hiding to the situation in spain is concerning but. Position i mean if youre sincere and. Clear the. Room for the kind of mediation. International. Initiative action spains government is preparing neymar to suspend catalonia is autonomy after a final deadline on thursday to drop secession plans was pretty much ignored the process will start on saturday thats when madrid will decide which polls to take from barcelona need barca reports now from the catalan capital. Spains political crisis is deepening after failing to comply with the Spanish Government catalonia it will now be stripped of its autonomy more theoretical model argue for in the absence of a clear response we note that he has not answered our request and therefore we will continue procedure of triggering article one five five of the constitution to restore legality in catalonia the capital and president. Had been given until thursday morning to clarify and revoke any independence claim last week he unilaterally declared independence and similar suspended it to allow for talks but instead of clarifying his position sent a letter to madrid calling for an end to repression and for dialogue. Prime minister Mariano Rajoy has repeatedly refused to mediate with the secessionists were now in uncharted Territory Article one five five has never been invoked in mainland spain before you can see devolved powers over the raising of taxes Education Health care in the police soon in madrid hands of the very worst you could see the suspension of the government and the arrest of its leaders its hard to imagine any of these scenarios unfolding without more massive protests or perhaps even a change of tactics i think theres no possibility of following like taking arms praising arms and or even like. Seeing the birth of a terrorist group i dont think that is a possibility at all but some kind of more aggressive i dont want to say by a lead but more stronger organized an insurgency in terms of political insurgency and organization i think its its a problem. But madrid the show restraint amnesty internationals urge the Spanish Government to avoid a repeat of these scenes on the day of the catalan referendum. Theyve also asked for two independence leaders jailed by spanish judge to be released the Spanish Government expects it to finalize plans for direct rule at a Cabinet Meeting on saturday. In response the catalan leadership say theyll now formalize independence with a vote of the Regional Parliament this tense standoff is entering a critical new phase. Ok. Weve got a lot more to come in this. Including were looking closely at the situation in afghanistan after more taliban attacks in which one hundred twenty people have been killed in the space of just a few days. Kangaroo in. The end of the line why theyre no longer making this classic car in australia plus. On paul reese in the netherlands where norways womens Football Team is about to play their first world cup qualifier since they secured a historic equal pay deal with the man. Now the taliban have killed forty three Afghan Soldiers in an assault in the middle of the night on a military camp the group set off two suicide bombs at a base in the my wand district of kandahar province followed by hours of gunfight more than one hundred twenty people have now been killed in a series of taliban attacks this week alone our correspondent Jennifer Gratz has more from the capital kabul. The taliban attacked the Afghan Army Base in southern afghanistan in my want near the helm on the border in the early hours of thursday morning killing forty three Afghan Soldiers there elsewhere in afghanistan at about the same time five soldiers killed five Police Killed the numers and six killed in northern bloc province that of course coming after earlier this week two separate attacks in eastern afghanistan borders impact and in gaza killed another eighty people as well most of them Afghan Security forces some of them civilians the gardez attack involving a two suicide car bombs also wounded three hundred people Security Forces as well as civilians but the fact that these attacks have taken place in the north in the east in the south and the southwest show really that the breadth of. The taliban has across the country the fact that they are able to make launch these significant major attacks across the country and hold certain areas and also that theyre willing to attack military posts and inflict large amounts of casualties shows that they really can still fight now afghanistan i think thats the message theyre trying to send to the Afghan Government and to the International Community particularly perhaps the United States government which is starting to send a several thousand additional troops here to afghanistan to support the Afghan Security forces and the and the american secretary of state saying that the United States remain in afghanistan as long as the taliban dont come to the peace table that is the ultimate goal of the Afghan Government to make peace with the taliban or fight them so that theyre no longer relevant so far that the taliban have shown really no indicate indication that they plan to come to the peace table in the fighting becomes more intense. Ok we can now speak to omar samad whos a former Senior Advisor to Abdullah Abdullah the chief executive of afghanistan is also former afghan ambassador to france and canada and hes joining us live from washington d. C. Thank you very much for talking to us and the ultimate aim then of the Afghan Government is to have peace talks with the taliban whats preventing those talks from taking place so. Im afraid we havent got the sound quite sorted out yet with our guests in washington d. C. Well work on that hopefully get back to him but in the meantime about one hundred thousand kurds have now fled the area since it was retaken by iraqi forces on monday the u. N.

European leaders a backing spain as the Catalan Crisis escalates in brussels the Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy won the support of the french president Emmanuel Mccraw as well as the german chancellor Angela Merkel bought the e. U. Itself says it will not intervene in the dispute between madrid and barcelona. The white house chief of staff has come to the defense of President Donald Trumps call this week to the widow of a slain soldier mr trump is accused of making insensitive remarks during a phone call to the widow of a soldier who was killed in an ambush in israel earlier this month. Now the former president of the United States barack obama has urged americans to reject the. Politics of division thats growing in the country it appeared to be a swipe at President Donald Trump without actually mentioning his name well president obama was speaking at an event for the Democratic Candidates in the race to become the next governor of the state of new jersey this is the first time the former president has returned to the campaign trail since leaving office. The only thing the. Fields are full of life. Is the same the fish from the. Fish are feeling. The liberty to linux on the way. We want. To make. Sure that we will get ready. Well hes the second former us president to express concern about the Political Climate in the country in his many days on wednesday george w. Bush spoke at a business farm in new york. We she actually was in the story you name it isnt. Government dynamism immigration is always brought to america. We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and International Trade forgetting that conflict instability and poverty following the way of protectionism. Well meanwhile President Trump himself is basted about his administrations handling of the devastation caused by hurricane mariya in puerto rico during a meeting with the caribbean islands governor ricardo it was a great the president gave his government a ten out of ten rating and thats despite critics saying the response was actually insufficient compared to how hurricanes in texas and florida well handled. How would you rate the white house. It was a ten i would say it was probably the most difficult. When you talk about relief when you talk about search when you talk about all of the different levels. And even when you talk about lives saved. If you look at the number of me this was i think it was worse than katrina it was in many ways worse than anything people have ever seen so what is the situation like in puerto rico a month since Hurricane Maria well many communities are still without basic essentials people are digging through rubble and theyre waiting for government aid that was promised but none has yet to come out official reports now from twenty blanco. Find him is got tired of waiting one month after Hurricane Maria struck his community was a mess so he called some friends we are in the process to clean up the creek because basically the crane was. A real family saying is the house just hang around twenty blanco is a ninety minute drive from san juan the islands capital the people here feel that far away from the center they are far away from a company far from the belief that anyone is going to help the government is almost absent there is almost no coordination woman here just staying with someone. But their reality is right here we see sometimes and im sure our guard just provided some water but just and a couple of patients are no more we ask and then were begging them for at least two up some excavator to clean over. The area what were being told is this isnt a one off but there are communities across this area that have asked for and waited for government help and know theyre doing what they can where they can the hurricane they say it was a problem the greater tragedy is a lack of Government Action not far away from here at the hurricane brought a flood that overwhelmed and destroyed the bridge that was a lifeline to a nearby Mountain Community so the locals built a pulley system which carries food and water and diesel for having heard. We are going to have a great we dont know anything. You know we are just disconnected. Across the island people are putting in their own fixes to get what they need a local stream by the roadside suddenly with plastic piping becomes the only source of fresh water for clothes washing drinking and even some fun. There is no doubt puerto rico wasnt well equipped to deal with a storm the size and intensity of maria one of the federal agencies here see few places are theres this island was pummeled by over one hundred fifty mile an hour wind what that does to the infrastructure that is in excellent condition versus ordinary condition its still the same its highly destructive put to me because governor disputes things here are slowly Getting Better in the fight he says they may be getting worse in many communities fear they are being forgotten after a storm none of them will ever forget alan fischer ill just point to blanco puerto rico.

Its the end of an era australias last car factory closes on friday holden is shutting down its plant in adelaide after more than fifty years but as Andrew Thomas experienced a lot of the domestic car Manufacturing Industry is not really expected to hurt the countrys economy. In australia two thirds of people drive to work big distance road trip holidays a common classic car fare is a popular affinity with cars here is cultural and ingrained but after friday calls will no longer be made in australia its lost car factory will close the Company Closing its General Motors owned holden has been a fixture of australian industry and culture but decades holden is in likened to a strike like the kangaroo in the make pies and i was brought up with the hole in cars my father bought one example is from holden brain you. Holdens advertising played on there is being all of the calls theyll continue to sell cars in australia theyll now be imported from europe asia and the United States where production costs are lower a study is overall car industry was not a huge it is peak it made nearly half a million cars a year but that was when it was protected against imports at one point there was a tariff on them of almost sixty percent as tariffs disappeared and other countries made cars cheaper australia is common to factoring suffered ford was the first big player to close its factories earlier this month toyota shut down production holden has held out just two weeks longer the end of australian made cars like this one is a sign of the changing nature of australias economy but its not necessarily a sign of its decline. Australias Unemployment Rate is low at five point six percent and as manual work declines people are getting more skilled work or work in higher tech manufacturing capitalism and economic evolution is a story of industries slowing down closing and evolving and the important thing is to concentrate on what needs to evolve started. Next twenty five years is a successful on the numbers twenty four. Holden says it will keep on hundreds of designers and engineers in australia and it will help its thousands of former factory employees to find jobs under thomas aljazeera sydney or less so to shane oliver now his head of Investment Strategy and chief economist at am p. Capital hes joining us live now from sydney so is australia in mourning then to lose its last car manufacturing plant i think we are and i certainly am i grew up in a family that drove holdens and by my best Friends Family drove forwards and i can only drive all the ride you just pick it up and you hold them back in june this year and i am a bit sad that i wont be able to buy a new one when its time to challenge that when i have a few years down the track so yeah it is a fairly said di i think at restraint in manufacturing but its not a disaster the reality use is the Manufacturing Industry has been in decline as long as ive been around since the knowledge sixtys and now and employs about percent of the population and other jobs of come along in other areas to fill the gap well thats the interesting thing id like to ask you about in many European Countries with the end of the Manufacturing Sector many communities go into decline it sounds very much as though australia is able to make the transition thats moving into the Digital Economy more successfully than others. Yeah perhaps so and that i think that thats been the case somebody its clearly a big problem for areas that are for regional areas where there was a holden plant for example the nine hundred fifty workers at the elizabeth plant in South Australia who lose their jobs to die i mean that stuff all Net Community but by the side token we have seen what sort of jobs growth coming elsewhere in the economy to replace that for example if you look at total Auto Industry employment in a stride is so thats directly involved in making supplies and so on youre probably looking at maybe fifteen thousand people maybe twenty thousand people if you stretch it out a bit but twenty thousand new jobs were created in the last month alone and three hundred seventy two thousand new jobs were created out of the last twelve months so the job losses flowing from this was very painful the guys involved in a Broader Community said the impact is actually quite modest and people are saying new jobs pop up in other areas a lot of it of course in the Services Sector but we still do have some growth in manufacturing where astrology has a comparative advantage all right shane oliver thank you very much indeed for explaining about the demise of the holden in australia thank you. Market but its been twenty years since the world fell under the spell of the boy was it harry potter the publication of the first book harry potter and the fell off philosophers stone launched a mostly billion dollar franchise Jessica Baldwin has been to an exhibition at the British Library looking at the magic that inspired it.

Harry potter has had a massive impact on the world kids who hated books are now inspired to read the next are considered cool and even muggles are interested in magic gustaf was a professional magician before he became a psychologist specializing in the science of magic just picking out academics are interested in how magic works stop one of the few how is it that we see something but we dont do we have free will then how do magicians influence our decisions. To the clubs well so a lot of interaction with computers is all based on a massive illusion every time you delete a folly or put a fall into your waste paper basket will you not really putting anything in a basket its the soldiers no illusion and so by understanding magic we might be able to end homes human computer interaction but whats the magic that continues to fuel the very lucrative harry potter industry that brings fans to wizard locations across london you can feel like youre with it or whatever but you wake up in the morning and you realize you know i do like magic so it does make me like you long i dont know if i like this now.

Thank you very much denmark so womens Football Team could be expelled from world cup qualifying after they cooled off their upcoming fixture with sweden due to a dispute over pay and conditions they are seeking pay equality with the mens Team Something achieved by neighbors norway this week norway are currently in the netherlands to prepare for the world cup qualifier paul resupport from amman. On a level Playing Field at last the norwegian womens Football Team training for a world cup qualifier against the netherlands have just secured a world first off the pitch. Becoming the First Female National team to receive the same pay deal as their male counterparts first i was i was really surprised because i didnt know about it i read it in the newspaper so i was really happy and they really respect us and they want something where womens football hopefully more nations well did the same and i and im really proud that the first nation to do this the teams pay is set to almost double going up to seven hundred fifty thousand dollars a year theres also twenty five percent of revenue from major tournament thats less in womens football than in the mens game but no white women qualify much more often now not only is this deal the first of its kind in the world its also been very friendly while other countries such as denmark have been in quite little dispute with their football associations over better pay this deal with suggested by the norwegian f. A. And it includes a financial contribution from the mens team. The players here say they feel an important sense of unity from norways myal internationals you volunteered seventy thousand dollars towards the agreement for the mens then to give us money to make it pay it was just. Really gentle and its just really really big esther just there from them and we are really thankful this is like just a really good thing to have in a way because you dont have to worry about money is coming in or whether you should quit football or rather study so hopefully more women playing football longer in norway and then we will have more really high level players so we can. Always qualify in coning in is against the dutch side that warn you are twenty seventeen a few months ago with the dutch men meanwhile failing to qualify for next years world cup hollands women may hope a better deal may soon be on the table for them as well paul reese. In the netherlands staying with the topic of womens football and equal pay the for me womens football at. Any says the sport is still dominated by male administrators who have not yet grasped the commercial potential of womens football. I really think its a lack of understanding of to see the opportunities womens football nowadays its a fantastic sport its appreciated by the public by people on the street you can see that from the numbers of people watching the people womens world cup matches in the stands or following the t. V. Social media you know huge numbers of people and this starts to drop the case in so many other countries and leagues its only now if you will maybe its the top but its a really booming market and rights holders as well as sports organizations and basically the ones who run it seem to have not really understand or that just dont see the potential which actually exists in womens football its probably the biggest womens sports in the world and it has a lack of. Big commercialized require parity is is is a bit complicated to discuss them i mean obviously at the end of the day thats what we all want and what the Young Players should aim for in the cheap but right now there are so many other issues in womens football and its really a lack of structure a lack of access to proper facilities a lack of support operations and clubs and even giving actors to girls in the club to play football so i think its you know its a complex matter and we should not only focus on equal pay it should be making sure players can have a double career make sure players have a proper safe and with the right medical support environment and all these things are so crucial part of future of the game so its its really a lot we need to work on and probably the best way to start is giving women access to that Decision Making level i think that sir thats the biggest challenge womens football still has. The semifinals of the criminal cup in moscow have been set and while Maria Sharapova is out they will be russians involved germanys julia gurgles is the highest ranked player left in the tournament the seventh seed beat lesieur to ranko in straight sets and will now face home.
