Because there was a larger issue in which i think its becoming more like the context for the gulf crisis and that the issue of containing iran and more specifically the future relations between iraq and saudi arabia and that was the focus of secretary televisions visit to the region its not obligatory yard because its very important following the trump speech against iran on the occasion of a certification or decide to pick a sheen of the nuclear deal that the United States doesnt follow up in the region in order to create the kind of alliances and coalitions both in the middle east in europe and internationally against iran and for that the main corner store in issue here was a new relationship or a renewed relationship between baghdad and riyadh so for secretary teller certain to contain iran and to fight terrorism you need to improve relations between Prime Minister our buddy who will be up for rerun in may twelfth two thousand and eighteen and saudi arabia as well as resolving the qatar issue or the qatar crisis or the gulf crisis because you cannot contain iran and fight terrorism while having this this unity in the gulf region so its very important for the United States at this point in time to resolve the crisis crisis not only because i think qatar is on the right which apparently they do they think qatar is on the right and the other parties need to climb down the tree but they also think this is becoming a very central issue for the United States and its security interests in the region for this issue to be resolved and for. Baghdad to be brought back into some sort of a coalition in order to continue on mowen do you think secretary tilla sin and his boss President Trump are on the same page with the gulf crisis now because theyve always sort of seem to us or not slightly different quite different angles or is that actually not even relevant. Its funny you mention that because you and i spoke when this thing first began and we thought we didnt know whether that Rex Tillerson and trump were playing Good Cop Bad Cop or were there was a disagreement in the administration apparently there was disagreement in and ministration and a newly elected president with total inexperience in the middle east was basically many permitted by abu dhabi and riyadh in order to convince him that qatar supports terrorism and so on so forth forcefully so and apparently he was so he sided with with abu dhabi in the beginning but that still are certain as everyone now knows as a former c. E. O. Of exxon knows this region better than any other american diplomat present or past maybe since George Shultz was secular state of the Reagan Administration as a former c. E. O. Of back to work with major interests in the gulf region and would be that as it may rix dollars and secretary of defense mattis were able to convince trump that he was manipulated that in the end of the day i would not be notably and riyadh as an enabler was trying to create some kind of a regime change in qatar without coordinating that with washington at all basically going behind washington back in this very sensitive region during these very sensitive times and basically creating havoc in the Gulf Cooperation Council and against carter now in washington apparently in that ramp and mr ation apparently including President Trump there is a consensus in the Foreign Policy and the situation that so the arabia and the United Arab Emirates need to climb down the tree and that this issue needs to be resolved diplomatically not last but at least six records that are certain of course is adamant on this but withdrawn you dont know who knows exactly mon bashar thank you for that were talking to you again later on in the evening is this News Conference at. Here in doha remember the cargo prices latest updates page is still very much alive and active your first stop to keep up with all the latest developments and you should check in there later when Rex TillersonNews Conference happens here and i did also find interesting opinion piece here looking at how the state department actually operates under this administration here John Muhammad said its more like a Business Venture and a pretty lean one at that that when they were expecting a press conference maybe within half an hour but who knows with these things but as soon as we have that well have you back now and in the meantime thanks very much neal.

Privileged most fun heidi is a freelance journalist based in harare he says that the decision is an embarrassing one for mugabe yes court negatively it because i think maybe i would i would just need to court like what one of the outspoken government ministers you nap is and get his government professor Jonathan Morris you are saying that the for the appointment of prison in the garbage these should have mid or consult it and made their decision you know or somebody done to rush and appoint him and only to think if you days later that the with doing it from him so diplomatically it doesnt look well for the newly appointed looked at judgments so hed want to look well also even coming from africa i remember in the end of august into september when zimbabwe lost that. African you know with ministers presumably he was praising him and saying that there we have all went off you can mend it fit meant to lead to their World Health Organization but then he says happens iran has opened its first ever claim for drug addicted mothers the facility is highlighting the governments shifting attitude towards drug users from treating them as criminals to realizing its a larger issue of Public Health its like the new batch of chewed will benefit some of irans maybe two and a half million documented drug users and describing reports now from tehran. Began smoking crystal meth when she was seventeen ten years later she says she wants a better life for herself and her baby. It was a very bad situation before i came here when my daughter was born i was addicted we had no money her father said lets leave her in the hospital but i took her and we fled the hospital without paying we had no money for work we were both addicted. Because of her mothers drug use is little girl may have to deal with problems of her own while she seems healthy using meth during pregnancy can cause long term neurological and developmental problems in children. My daughter got taken away because of me when i quit and could get an Identity Card for her i was able to get her back its been almost six months weve been living together. The clinic into her own name to rebirth has offered both mother and daughter a new lease of life. In the morning i take her to.

I. P. s were a government minister of Vice President and a gaggle of t. V. News crews a sign perhaps of the changing attitudes towards the countrys major drug problem. You kind of addictions show that its not just about poverty and unemployment lack of psychological security is the main reason for being addicted in urban societies this is true all around the world including our country and a message to iranians that the government has started treating drug use less like a crime and more like a Public Health problem that has a cure.

Are probably rebuilt france after the revolution of course there are parts of history that are hard to accept polands author of terror inside and his desire to conquer europe and if people have fallen out of love with the polian its because these days we value peace and were not accustomed to wars like people were in his time. Napoleon transformed france he created many of its institutions and his napoleonic code still defined civil war across much of europe for visitors here his legacy is clear on the.
