In sport Lewis Hamilton moves with insights of a force f one world title hamilton winning the us with his championship rival Sebastian Vettel finishing second. U. S. Secretary of state. Talks to resolve the gulf crisis remain unlikely after missing the cattery foreign minister in doha he called on Gulf Cooperation Council countries to minimize the rhetoric and deescalate the tensions to listen flew from saudi arabia where hed had talks with the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin he also met the iraqi Prime Minister. As as he wants to counsel iranian influence in iraq on syrias particle hey reports now from doha. He talked tough on his way over blaming the Saudi Led Coalition for the impasse but in the region the tough talk stopped meetings were. The crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon asked him to please and gauge please and gauge in dialogue. There is not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. And so we cannot force talks upon people who are not ready to talk still us secretary of state Rex Tillerson took great pains to compliment the qatari and significant progress has been made in a number of important efforts in our counterterrorism joint efforts including sharing of terrorist list terrorist financing weve participated in a number of counterterrorism technical sessions and training and significant steps have been taken to enhance Aviation Security he didnt criticize the blockading countries not even after the saudis seem to publicly slight him by sending the deputy minister of protocol to the airport for his part that qatar foreign minister is clearly frustrated by the behavior of the four blockading countries. I also feel sorry to say that they are not ready to face this issue and to tackle with dialogue the reasons for this crisis these countries have resorted to undergo a magic methods that have nothing to do with modern diplomatic channels and this is no good. Secretary television isnt leaving the region and he is expected to do one more press conference this time on his own here in doha so that means he has one more chance however unlikely to try and put some public pressure on the block in countries to try to resolve this crisis as it begins to enter its fifth month patty klein aljazeera. Andress craig is that assistant professor of defense studies that Kings College london and hes with me here in the studio once again thanks for being with us andrus i mean Rex Tillerson made it clear previously that he blames the saudis for lack of progress on trying to resolve the gulf dispute todays again pushed the saudis to enter a dialogue how frustrated is the u. S. Becoming about how this diplomatic dispute is continuing there already very frustrated with the United Arab Emirates and for quite a long time theyve theyve ignored the u. A. E. And moved toward saudi thinking that if anybody can make a breakthrough from the quartet side it might be saudi arabia now were feeling that m. B. A. s more been sold on the crown prince is in the same situation as the crown prince of up with abby saying were not ready to talk which is obviously quite desperate for the United States because theres very little they can do a lot of very few leaders they can actually pull in order to put more pressure on the quartet to actually approach cut a big scuttle has said they are ready to talk until us and knows that but i think there is an issue as well with terrorism because tillerson is someone that in the quartet countries in saudi and the u. A. E. Lexx a little bit of credibility because as an exxon mobil cheve or former chief of exxon mobil used to be very close to the country leadership he knows qatar and hes been seen as a as someone who is a bit pro cutter are more in the countryside and i think that kind of undermines his credibility in riyadh and i would i mean you say that the u. S. Doesnt have a huge amount of leverage in the situation but behind the scenes one has to presume the pressure is being applied as far as that is possible i mean as i said before this is a two way street i mean both sides really need each other and the u. S. Needs saudi arabia in particular to execute. The policy that trump is put in front of congress and in front of the American People he wants to push back against iran he wants to push back against isis and he can only do that really when he has a military on the ground who can help him with that and the military is not going to be the u. S. Military most likely is going to be a g. C. C. Military and saudi is now a partner in iraq as well which is very important a place where the americas pulled out and dont really want to go back into they have a partner in yemen their potential partner in libya u. A. E. In particular is a partner in fighting terrorism in libya and so in all that they cant really do without the g. C. C. So how much pressure can they really put when they need the g. C. C. Or when they need saudi arabia and the u. A. E. As much as they need qatar you know they need both sides really so they can really i mean it is i mean as regards u. S. Foreign policy in the middle east it was confusing for a while as to whether or not President Trump and secretary of state to listen were actually operating in harmony and in union do we feel that that has moved in that direction now or are there still differences between the two i mean clearly Defense Department and state department which are the very powerful departments in washington at the moment they speak with one voice they have a Clear Strategy in terms of how they want to deal with this crisis they want to see unity and they do want it all cost us in saudi to get back together because they know important as i think the white house is coming around they realize how important it is moving forward they need g. C. C. Unity but trump is someone who doesnt understand the complexity of the gulf he doesnt understand the complexity of carters foreign and Security Policy and so him and many of the advisers in the white house are probably a bit more on the fence thinking maybe we should push a little bit further you know but most for the most part theyve come around they said we need unity and almost at almost any cost you touched on it a little bit earlier in the interview that Rex Tillerson when he was in saudi arabia was making much of the fact that he wants any iranian backed fighters to leave their. Iraq its clear isnt it now that the u. S. Is really trying to counter any iranian influence in the region yes absolutely and we shouldnt forget this trip to the gov is not a trip to the gulf it was a trip to asia the meetings in saudi were mostly focusing on iraq where i think we had a milestone agreement today and i think thats how mohamed bin said a man is probably getting away with not addressing the Current Crisis because you can say to the americans look i helped you with with iraq so be it be happy with it and so as terrorism moves on qatar was on the way so he was trying to kind of send a message from riyadh to doha but that was it for the most part this was not about the qatar crisis all right address great good to talk to you thanks for and i thank you or want important factor in u. S. Relations with katter is the fact that the Central Command the arm of the u. S. Military handles all operations in the middle east has its headquarters just outside doha a senior official there has told us there on the gulf diplomatic crisis is not affecting Coalition Operations against i saw. Reports. This is a low day to her base in qatar some military personnel the most important to you is a base in the. It revise u. S. Central command with the facilities and equipment required for operations. The base is home to several different types of aircraft used in missions across the region these tasks range from Strategic Bombing flights to just stick support such as the ones provided by refuting turncoat planes you date is truly the nerve center of all the operations that we execute across the Central Command your responsibility from the planning execution and assessment of the every day operations that we operate throughout the region is done right here without this base without the capabilities that we bring every day we would not be able to orchestrate the fight that were executing today against isis and also in afghanistan which is another important area that we provide support to there are no diplomatic issues that are impacting our ability to operate every day from here on our counter isis mission this is the sensitive operation called the combined Operation Center aljazeera is one of the few Media Networks allowed into this place some screens were blurred to protect Sensitive Information many countries have joined the coalition to coordinate the complex operations in iraq syria and afghanistan when the screens we can see the busy earth strikes a Coalition Aircraft along with military and civilian planes for both the coalition and our field Level Operators they work back through the commanding control system to provide us information we have near real time information where the aircraft are in operating and we can talk to a control agency who is able to talk directly to those aircraft and in many cases we can talk directly to the aircraft.
