Hello im rob matheson this is the news our live from doha coming out of the next sixty minutes u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson meets the emir of qatar as the rift between gulf nations drags on. Shinzo of a reelected the japanese they dont wait to see if he has enough votes to reform his countrys pacifist constitution. Reversing course the World Health Organization revokes the appointment of Zimbabwes President Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador. And the legacy of napoleon how his leadership style is influencing frances youngest president. The gulf crisis that scene cuts are living under a blockade for nearly five months looks like its going to drag on the. U. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is in the region but says the Saudi Arabian led bloc is not ready to talk tell us in this how high level talks on saudi arabia calling for a deescalation of tension tickle him reports 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 with the crown Prince Mohammed bin samana asked him to please and gauge please and gauge in dialogue. Theres not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. And so we cannot force talks on people who are not ready to talk still us secretary of state Rex Tillerson took great pains to compliment the qatari 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 Qatari 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 under blue magic methods that have nothing to do with modern diplomatic channels and this is no good. Secretary tillerson 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 blockading countries to try to resolve this crisis as it begins to enter its fifth month political haint aljazeera. Well jonathan crystal is a fellow at the World Policy Institute and a specialist on u. S. Foreign policy in the middle east in these joining us by skype from new york thank you for your time so when he leaves the u. S. Rex tillerson is basically blaming the countries behind the blockades when he arrives in the gulf the tone is very different what do you things happened well i mean it is easier to talk tough not to someones face than directly to their face in general but as. You pointed out he was lighted by who received him at the airport i think in riyadh know that killer stan does not. Have the full confidence of the administration despite what they say and they dont really need to pay too much attention to him and if tillerson strategy is to just say. That im not sure what incentive they are the u. S. Is giving to the saudis now its unusual for a u. S. Secretary of state to make a journey like this without getting some sort of guarantee of some positive result at the end of it he was attending the inauguration of this new joint body established by iraq and saudi arabia is it the case that actually that was his priority this time around rather than the gulf crisis. Right well i think that theres an undercurrent running under the whole trip which is sort of a counter iran premise to this so you have in the situation with hotter and the g. C. C. Saudi arabia in particular you have a fear of on the u. S. s part that this is driving cutter closer to iran and you also have a push by the United States to get saudi arabia and iraq closer together to try to fill in a vacuum that there is fear that iran will also fill em and i think this is why you also see tillerson talking about how he doesnt want that youre a peon firmest to do business with i r g c linked arms which is easier said than done in dealing with iran and so i think that part of this is really designed to put maximum pressure on iran rather than any of these particular individual items on which little is likely to be achieved you mentioned before that his credibility as far as saudi arabia is concerned as i know of the u. A. E. Is somewhat limited because they dont really know where he stands with regards to the white house for example do you think that there is in any way that the u. S. Is in a position to actually push some sort of solution to this given the either side is and as weve talked about will be talking to each other. Well sure i mean the u. S. Certainly has leverage and tillers and claim that all we can really do is ask and cant force people together its sort of laughable now there might be contexts in which thats true but in this case the u. S. Has a lot of leverage over saudi arabia in terms of arms sales that havent gone through yet that are sort of on board theyre certainly much more diplomatic pressure theres financial pressure but not really has to come from the top or from a sort of unified administration speaking with one voice and if the saudis think they can go around telling us and directly to the president and theyre probably right about that then why should they actually listen to him why should they agree to talks when they think that they can wait out the clock. Cutoff least on the face of it appears to have significant support from its allies its getting food in oil and other supplies from its allies on the other side if the blockading countries back off from that located they do risk losing face is there much of an incentive on either side to resolve this issue quickly. Well you know i think certainly. Culture way has more of a reason just quicker and then saudi arabia does i think qatar is in a very good position financially and with its allies but saudi arabia is a bigger country and has deeper Financial Resources and it can and it has the geography but you know i think one thing tillerson was doing to his credit is when he was talking about all of the things that had agreed to with the United States well a lot of these things arent new. But i think that he is really trying to give the saudis a way to back down so that they can say oh no look the United States got qatar to do all of these things we wanted them to do and now we can ease up on this lucky so i think thats part of what you see tillerson strategy but again. It only it only works if both sides are willing to play ball always good to get your opinion on this jonathan crystal thank you very much indeed thank you japans Prime Minister shinzo abi has swept to victory in a snap election after voting to toughen his stance and north korea and revive the economy partial results say abbys Ruling Coalition has already won two hundred sixty four seats and that easily gives him a majority in the four hundred sixty five Seat Parliament but a is hoping for two thirds of the bait vote all right least three hundred ten seats to push through his agenda and exit polls have him on track for that japans constitution limits the military to being a Self Defense Force after its defeat in the Second World War i.

Meanwhile intelligence agencies in somalia say a Turkish Military<\/a> base has been the intended target of two bomb attacks in the mogadishu more than three hundred fifty people were killed as we said many more were injured in the capital last week mohammed out of reports on the part of turkeys played in somalia. On a prime piece of land in the somali capital mogadishu is the new Turkish Military<\/a> base its the biggest. Outside. And a key plank in uncut us efforts to help the Somali Government<\/a> to. Restore order in that country. At least ten thousand somali troops will be trained here in the coming months. Nearly a year and forces i think in the near future. Be. Out of me so. This is. News that these base was the real targets of last weeks massive bombing in mogadishu awestruck officials. Say the turkish ambassador in mogadishu. As well in the past. Threats. But despite all this. Is the biggest recipient of turkish aid in the world it all began in august two thousand and eleven when the then Prime Minister<\/a> president. Visited mogadishu. He met starving somalis and displaced people on the help. He came at the height of the countrys. Since one thousand nine hundred two and was the first african head of state in two decades what i see particularly as a business at the time they were the first to respond of course a lot of International Community<\/a>. Came for what could be many many countries but turkish. They are always in and out of meat and its out of kindness and humanity. Talk you also hasi its biggest embassy in the world in somalia the. Of somalia truck two full fourteen and interests in the horn of africa region yet. Their presence in somalia has more to do with the interest of this country than their. Turkey may help prevent to be allowed in somalia. Truly lucrative interests with the war. But for now many dont seem to mind that mohamed atta well just Mogadishu Somalia<\/a> a turnaround from the head of the World Health Organization<\/a> on appointing Zimbabwes President<\/a> Robert Mugabe<\/a> as a goodwill ambassador it follows a backlash from International Leaders<\/a> activists and Health Groups<\/a> who pointed to allegations of human rights abuses mugabes also being criticised for going abroad for medical treatment michael readings a south African Media<\/a> activist journalist and cofounder of sound africa podcast hes joining us by skype from johannesburg it seems to me as though zimbabwes failings when it comes to its medical services are pretty well known what do you think motivated. Appointment. Its very hard to say its a bizarre thing there is some suggestion that it may have been a reward for his supporting mr ted dresses appointment to the position of d g but it is a. Really good thing given mugabes own track record the regimes track record on human rights and Health Care System<\/a> in the. Health care and the fact that this regime has scant regard for basic Human Dignity<\/a> and yet Robert Mugabe<\/a> certainly amongst several western forgive me several african nations is regarded as something of a hero in certain quarters it tends to be the west who pilloried him why is it so unusual perhaps that he was chosen as a goodwill ambassador given that hes held in such high regard within his own country and others. Well hes very good at looking after his own health you regularly jets off to singapore for medical treatment abroad his ministers and high level politicians often use private South African Health<\/a> care facilities or griezmann bubblin die in good laugh a date at hospitals waiting for treatment the Healthcare System<\/a> in zimbabwe is collapsing because of economic collapse that is the result of the new p. S. Policies and the new politics this is a regime that spends ninety one percent of its tiny budget on paying salaries and yet cannot afford to pay nurses and doctors who regularly go on strike and if you recall in two thousand and nine there was a cholera outbreak that killed four thousand five hundred people or thereabouts and this is a preventable disease so this is all political. And its a slap in the face for ordinary zimbabweans so it is quite hard to understand the supports and of course this its not just about health care the regime is one that is that is marked by brutality that rules with an iron fist and that has left ordinary zimbabweans in the diocese to a ship so it is hard to understand where the support for more go big does come from and he does have some support although. His legitimacy is certainly crumbling i think in order to really understand this one has to look at the complex legacies of colonialism and imperialism. And there are powerful narratives that the regime can tap into. And it ended indeed it has quite successfully done so in order to divert attention from problems at home and to blame everything on the west and western bogeyman there are there are legitimate grievances there but of course the regime takes this uses this as a sort of deflection.

With his determined steely gaze and distinctive hat Napoleon Bonaparte<\/a> is one of french historys most recognizable figures a brilliant general he forged his destiny in the french revolution crowned emperor thirty five he went on to dominate europe but while many french people regard napoleon as a hero others say hes a source of shame a tyrant and a cruel war monger curators hope a new exhibition in northern france will help restore his reputation as a military and political visionary if. A pretty rebuilt france after the revolution of course there are parts of history that are hard to accept for the 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. Whole he was a great figure of french history we owe him a lot our institutions and our schools. In troubled times he built an empire and restored order napoleons tomb is under the sumptuous dome in paris its one of the capitals most visited sites a testimony to his enduring appeal napoleons youth and ambition his love of symbols and his focus on europe have led many people in france to parallels with president s. Like napoleon presents himself as a man of the moment one who can restore french glory. Frances youngest president also promises to transform france and restore its prestige historians say macros regal leadership style can be traced back to napoleon. An ember did what any story and once called the myth of the savior in charleville was seen as a savior lets see if. But there is no doubt french president ial elections focus on one person we can fix everything and that is part of the legacy the exhibition in ass is called images of a legend whether those visiting will see napoleon as a genius and a reformer or an ambitious autocrat will depend on their perspective but its clear that more than two centuries after his death Napoleon Bonaparte<\/a> continues to fascinate natasha aljazeera paris.
