A little more and tale of this is the news hour live from london coming up. The Gulf Cooperation Council meets for a summit in kuwait but with four of its six leaders absent. Supporters celebrated yemens capital sanaa where a planned funeral for former president saleh has been postponed. President trump tells arab leaders he intends to move the u. S. Embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. And im peter stammered in doha with the latest sports news in the next hour the International Olympic president s almost will announce whether russian athletes will be allowed to compete at next years winter olympics. Now the emir of kuwait has called for a blueprint to resolve the gulf crisis. During the g. C. C. Summit in kuwait city some a model job or a suburb has been mediating the dispute which began when saudi arabia bahrain and the u. A. E. Cut ties with qatar in june carter and kuwait are the only nations which had heads of state attending the summit kuwaits foreign minister has addressed to the summit. I would like to point out that the reason for this summit. During this very sensitive times regionally and internationally would call upon the wisdom the good judgment of all the leaders of the g. C. C. And their belief that of the importance of this organization and that any circumstances. Is there and joins us live so what if anything did this summit achieve. Well i mean it really depends on what type of person you are and if you are one of those optimists that kind of sees the good in everything then you would say well the summit the fact that it actually took place is a success considering that the leaders or at least representatives of this city countries have been laying siege to qatar for the past six months of always vowed never to sit around the same table the country theyve accused of supporting and financing terrorism and therefore the fact that the courts manage to have the summit take place considering that in the forty years of forty odd years of the g. C. C. As history no summits has ever being canceled that is some sort of an achievement however if you speak to maybe more religious than skeptics they will tell you well none of these countries sent their heads of state in fact it in even sent their deputy heads of state defense so a degree ministers the there will point to the fact that the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia decided to truce today the day zero of all days to announce their own mechanism of corporation outside of the g. C. C. That would focus on economic political and Security Corp theyll point to the fact that the closing statements of what was recently a two hour summit or a two hour meeting really lacked any real. Tangible conclusions probably the only one that came out of it was there i agree that theyre women that they would have the next g. C. C. Summit in a month that is maybe a positive thing it is a neutral Country Industries you see crisis and therefore it gives the gulf countries maybe another twelve months to try and find a way out of a crisis that really is threatening the future of this Corporation Counsel to militia have thank you very much indeed more on this say were joined from washington by middle east analyst he get neubauer thank you for joining us whats your take on this any policy myself do you think this g. C. C. Summit. Well i think that going into this summit there were a tacit understanding that the kuwaitis would not host a summit with the understanding that king saul man of saudi arabia would attend as he would be to key or greater to find a solution to the crisis and i think that if you look at the past day or so. The Saudi Foreign minister our job barry who was yesterday in kuwait where he held the talks with his katori counterpart and at that point is probably where the discussions broke down which prevented at the end the saudi king from attending to summit today which everyone had hoped for of course the details of what went on in that meeting between the Foreign Ministers from the g. C. C. Is on clear so i mean is the g. C. C. Finished i mean is it is it just a kind of a body that said its a kind of they will gather and actually nothing happens or do you think there is potential for this still to sort of salvage a body that for some for some people meant stability in the region. Well i made the promise of the g. C. C. Was found the dog six sovereign nations coming together in one thousand nine hundred one and really forming a bloc. For strengthening regional stability but also enhanced Economic Growth and together enjoying u. S. Protection in a region that is jewish to achieve strictly very important to the world economy. Douras of course no no to the language if you will. You see it stands today exist but it is on life support and instead i think that going out of this summit what were seeing is that were seeing an alternative bloc that house emerged consist out of saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain as a junior partner and together with egypt and there will be some tensions between that new bloc that has emerged and the other remaining members of the g. C. C. How and if that will be changed in the future we dont quite know yet but i think another important element to this crisis its been a lack of u. S. Leadership at least a u. S. Role at the very end to help shepherd the summit forward you mentioned the kind of the alternative forming what what kind of level do you think they would there they are discussing things like matters of military cooperation what do you think the the direction is of that on the block if indeed it can be described as that. Well i think that the timing of the announcement of this new saudi u. A. E. Alliance is significant in the sense that it was announced right before this summit was supposed to take place today but if you look back at it realistically youll see that the u. A. E. And saudi arabia has fought side by side for over two years in yemen so this strategic and military our partnership between the two countries is there and its real and its actual and its expected to grow how that will mount in terms of applying external pressure on the other g. C. C. States whether its kuwait oman and qatar a diet of course remains to be seen but theres no doubt that there is a Strategic Alliance between the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia secret thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on the subject thank you but the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says warned donald trump of dangerous consequences if the u. S. Moves its embassy in israel trump has called the leaders of palestine jordan and egypt to say he intends to shift the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem hes expected to announce his decision on wednesday israel claims all of jerusalem as its united capital. But the annexation of the palestinians as something that they would want to be the capital of their future state. Can be how could joins us live from washington d. C. So committee not so frank or something going on when can we expect to come karshi in this announcement. What were hopeful that clarity larm will come on wednesday by the deadline for signing that the socalled waiver that we often talk about on this issue was december fourth thats monday and essentially just to give you some understanding about all of this the president has signed a waiver from some legislation that essentially was put in place back in the one nine hundred ninety s. And mandates that the under u. S. Law that the u. S. Embassy thats currently located in tel aviv if you move to israel slew jerusalem and that it be declared the capital of israel or at least recognized by the United States as such but for more than twenty years president s have recognized that this would have a negative effects on u. S. Security interests and as a result have signed a waiver saying that this would be postponed donald trump is even side of this waiver but now he is shrouded in mystery his next steps we do expect that there will be some sort of clarity on wednesday but what that looks like remains unclear will it be announcement of signing the waiver one more time with the promise of action six months will it be a recognition of the the capital by the United States will it be an announcement of the move of the u. S. Embassy its really really hard to say what the president s thinking because often we can get linguist from the white house that then changes on a dime because the president change his mind but i can quickly tell you is there are many people weighing in on this caution being the president not to do this to it not in any way fundamentally change history when it comes to u. S. Policy viz of b. This embassy located in tel aviv this is coming from a pro israeli groups here in the United States like j. Street who are very committed to a two state solution this is also coming from inside the state department where we are told that there are Foreign Services officers on the Near East Affairs desk who are saying that this would have really triggered. Backlash against israeli as well as American Interest in the middle east and as a result are expressing to the white house deep concern about the imminent announcement the president is expected to make on wednesday can be halkett thank you very much indeed. The funeral of ousted yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh has been postponed meanwhile his former allies who killed him on monday have been holding a celebration rally in the capital un his aging calm as it tries to arrange a deliveries for beleaguered civilians into his top has more. The killing of. Has plunged yemen into even more uncertainty the ousted president would be in a dominant Political Force for over three decades was killed in an attack led by whom the fighters on monday had been in an alliance with the iranian backed rebels for more than two years and his death sparked intense fighting on the streets of the capital sanaa. The clashes were ongoing the entire night until the morning if someone stepped out into the street or fled they would have a bullet hit the mean the head chest or body. On tuesday thousands of who the supporters filled the streets of sanaa celebrating what they called the end of the crisis but yemens challenges are far from over the Saudi Led Coalition which supports the internationally recognized government led by up to rubble months or hadi has said it will still strike rebel targets and how to use urging yemenis to rise against the who plays. And i call upon all of you with an open heart and a strong will to turn the new page and to get rid of such a nightmare lets put our hands together to end the control of these criminal gangs and to build a new united yemen. In the who pushed out how these government in january two thousand and fifteen and set up their own administration prompting the saudi led campaign against them since then the country has been split between the who the rebels in the north administration in the south and forces loyal to saleh. His death could mark a turning point and the conflict getting worse a conflict which has already killed nearly ten thousand people but yemen to the brink of mass starvation and triggered what the United Nations has called the worlds worst humanitarian crisis we remind all parties to the conflict that deliberate attacks against civilians and against civilian and medical infrastructure or clear violations of International Humanitarian law may constitute war crimes. So there a former military officer became president of north yemen in one thousand nine hundred Seventy Eight after a coup and in one nine hundred ninety when the north and south reunited he was elected as the first president of the newly unified country he was ousted in two thousand and twelve during the arab spring uprising but managed to stay in the country and wielded considerable power behind the scenes salih ones like in his involvement in yemeni politics is dancing on the head of snakes and while its not yet clear who will succeed him or what his death will mean for the fighting on the ground or the future of yemen one thing appears certain is nearly three year war is unlikely to come to an end anytime soon n. P. R. s time aljazeera. Who want to train on the ground the u. N. Humanitarian coordinator for yemen Jamie Mcgoldrick joins us now via skype from santa thanks very much indeed for being with us can you tell us what its been like today and sana well surprisingly. Theres a lot like back in the streets people are. Quite worried about you know the sense that you know whats coming next people have cell for five days of the stuff going on with no water no food in some cases terrified children not able to get divorced but it was a treat when they didnt. You know what. But that is the indians in the future is it have you been given any indication from the who he is as to what their plans are do you have contacts with him at all that can give you some clues as to how its going to be in the next few weeks or so. Org there were they send us messages because we have to let them do their operations and save this summer in other parts of the northern part of yemen and we are all praying that when things settle though we can find what the series of looks like for us and hes very important to be standing our work at the moment red cross and others are trying to address the second the wounded and say the hospitals over four hundred people have been wounded or injured during this last five days and over two hundred thirty People Killed there this point so theres a big task on the program massive famine to do within a cholera outbreak and a blockade which is still ongoing as well a mention a blockade there up until a certain latest outbreak of fighting in sanaa had the conditions on the blockade eased a little of what were things starting to improve. When there was a couple of. It which is a mean or for us to deliver assistance to the victims of that humanitarian requirements in the northern part of the country and we had two boys and one commercial in one of the program and when he does be there to be opened up and get back to work is like many months ago we had a clear floor commercial traffic which would bring in food medicine and fuel and the same time you military and the fuel is a big aspect right now because we need the fuel to deliver assistance using trucks we also need fuel to deliver water only fewer to pump clean water so the people who have had all the more become susceptible again and its a very fragile situation and thats what we need both commercial and humanity and assistance through the poor of the data to look at assistance to the bulk of the population in the northern part of country is it your impression i know that term the u. N. Had called for a kind of a pause in the fighting for humanitarian purposes it is your impression that port could continue for more than say a day or so. I dont know i mean i think that we have we are very pleased the fact that it was for the most part breaks out as one to estrades but for the most part we didnt see anything that was regarding insecurity so people that were able to address the needs and maybe move to safety and maybe gather some soup or air out for themselves and the families we would like to think be the case but i mean we also know that its very fragile situation and it could be a return to violence quite quickly in the capital we hope not and we hope that well be able to get back to our normal duties and you know more work to deliver a system which is much needed in this country with seven Million People facing starvation and you know and those that people didnt sons of assistance which we cant do as humanity is but the commercial market so the poor of the blockade have to be looked at rose jamie mccoll trick from the u.
