Qatars foreign minister says recent efforts to resolve the gulf dispute was suspended at the start of january mohamed been on the run and al tani told a security conference in munich that discussions began back in october to try to resolve the dispute the blockade began in 2017 when saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain and egypt 7 political trade and transport ties with cato. I think now its been almost 3 years since the crisis started we were not the perpetrator of that crisis and weve been very open and very clear that we are open to any genuine intention to resolve this problem and we have been we demonstrated this in fact when there was an opening in october here in november and of last year. And unfortunately these efforts didnt succeed and spears suspended at the beginning of january but would remain at the same position that we are often well we spoke to david mack a former u. S. Ambassador to the u. A. E. Who was one days house and just how fathers talk scott. Well there was a little bit of progress there wasnt there was a g. C. C. Summit in riyadh. In december the qatari prime Prime Minister attended they agreed that they would start talks. And there was after that a what you might call a confidence Building Measure in the sense that saudi and other regional football teams went to doha for a football tournament and that so they seemed to be on the track toward easing their relationships. But you normally the United States should have been involved in pressing all the countries involved. Saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain egypt and qatar to come to some kind of detente we have very very extensive relationships with all 4 of these governments all 5 of these governments and really its a failure of u. S. Diplomacy it is very much against the interests of all the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council countries and its against the interests of the United States which was trying to organize a strategy of maximum pressure against iran and there is only one country that benefits by this stalemate and that iran well the u. S. Defense secretary used his speech at the Munich Security Conference to label china the biggest threat to the global marchesa says the government in beijing tops the list of potential vast areas of the United States ahead of russia and iran and he again other countries to stay away from chinese tech giant kuala demands thats been rebuffed by european allies. Under present cheese rule the Chinese Communist party is heading even faster and further in the wrong direction more internal repression more predatory economic practices more heavy handedness and most concerning for me a more aggressive military posture it is essential that we as an International Community wake up to the challenges presented by chinas manipulation of the longstanding International Rules based order that has benefited all of us for many decades china has more from that conference. Well the worlds 2 most powerful nations squared off against one another here in munich 1st the United States secretary of state mike crapo and defense secretary marc esper giving notice firing the starting gun essentially on what could be a new era of u. S. Defense and foreign policy. China as enemy number one the pentagons top priority said mark s. But because of its more aggressive military posturing in the region its trade economic and territorial ambitions further afield he said we do not want to conflict with china we want china to play by the rules abide by International Norms in short we want china to behave and making the point in no Uncertain Terms that the u. S. Expects its allies to view things likewise noting in particular Chinese Telecom giant huawei some european allies the u. K. In particular in talks with huawei to help build their 5 g. Networks where the u. S. Of course sees huawei as a trojan horse for chinese intelligence well it wasnt long before china had the opposite opportunity here to respond when you the foreign minister saying china will not follow the western model and seek a germany in the world but rather choose a policy of Peaceful Development working for shared prosperity and he had this very pointed response to those u. S. Comments. Before i came here my colleagues told me about what the 2 american senior officials said and they have been once again repeating their smears and criticism of china it has become a common scenario they basically say the same thing wherever they go about china and i dont want to waste our time responding to each and everything theyve said what i want to say is that all of these accusations against china are lies they are not based on facts so china emerging here presenting itself certainly as an unlikely standard bearer for multilateralism the very policy plank and pillar upon which western diplomacy has been built and practiced for decades and the very thing that many here and elsewhere would say that the trumpet ministration has abandoned. Well the corona Virus Outbreak has also been a major topic of discussion at that munich conference that the head of the World Health Organization told leaders he was concerned about the lack of urgency among the International Community we throw money at an outbreak and when its over we forget about it and do nothing to prevent the next 1. 00 the world spends billions of dollars preparing for a terrorist attack but relatively prepared for the virus which could be far more deadly and far more damaging economically politically and socially this is frankly difficult to understand and dangerously short sighted on the outbreak has killed more than 1500 people now in the 1st Death Outside asia has been confirmed an 80 year old chinese tourist has died in france the man had been in hospital in paris since january 25th after being turned away from true previous hospitals his daughter was also infected but her health is improving and an american passenger from a christian that docked in cambodia has also been confirmed with the corona virus the 83 year old woman feared to malaysia on friday along with 144. 00 other passengers from that ship the n. S. A. Westerdam had been turned away from 4 countries before docking in cambodia well there are growing concerns over the shortage of protective gear for frontline medical workers on the chinese mainland adrian brown reports medical workers in china are fighting a battle for the world in some cases without adequate protection more than 700. 00 nurses and doctors have so far been infected several have died many of them look so exhausted in front of the camera when youre exhausted you get infected because you just.

Says thats changing now its been showing pictures of Army Medical Teams arriving at the epi center with specialist gear further proof says china of its intensifying efforts to control the virus a virus that the countrys foreign minister says has created excessive alarm among some governments really good winter will pass and the spring is sure to come chinas vigorous and thorough measures are paying off the epidemic has posed a severe challenge to chinas economic and social Development None the less the difficulties will be temporary and short lived the latest official figures from Chinas National Health Commission offer a crumb of comfort these latest figures dont show a significant drop in the death rate but the number of new infections in who by province is falling they were half what they were on thursday but experts outside china urged caution saying these figures can be independently verified analysts say its become a Pivotal Moment for chinas leader xi jinping if this works and it looks like this thing is contained and they get thumbs up from the World Health Organization and other you know epidemiologist is going to look like theyve done the right thing and he could come out of this looking well but at the moment its such a go on saturday chinas government extended its quarantine restrictions to the Capital Beijing anyone returning to the city following the extended Lunar New Year holiday missed now isolate themselves at home for 14 days state media says those who dont will be punished without specifying what that will mean in hong kong the infection rate is under 60 with one dead now the chief executive kerry lamb says the government has to spend more than 4000000000. 00 of taxpayers money helping workers affected by the virus she says around. 200000. 00 low income families will be given a one off grant of more than 600. 00 each but theres no help yet for many small to medium sized businesses which are reeling from the effects of this Public Health emergency adrian brown aljazeera hong kong.

And were on patrol with the Congolese Army as soldiers struggle to stop rebel at tux. Welcome back well start our look at conditions in australasia this is the remnants of a Tropical Cyclone you see there that continues to move through bisecting new zealand and australia but certainly is going to some impact across new zealand with some heavy rain expected here some strong winds along the western coast of the south on and i think for a straight of the well be some rough surf at times also nurses some showers on coastal parts of New South Wales some showers also across northern parts of Western Australia into the Northern Territory and so if the Cape York Peninsula could be some welcome downpours at times as a move the forecast on and you see begins to move away still a circulation close enough to the south island to give some problems elsewhere weather conditions looking largely fine over Western Australia with highs of 32 degrees expected in perth moving up into northeastern parts of asia all looking pretty unsettled here at the moment lot of rain moving out across eastern parts of china low pressure system across japan thats going to continue give some very heavy rain maybe just flirting with tokyo it times snow on the north and at you know says the temperature contrast between sendai that 7 degrees and sapporo minus one is ahead on through into monday that could be some really heavy rain affecting parts of honshu. But. Water an essential resource for all humankind across europe pressure to recognize water as a human right and put its management back into public hands is increasing i think that the European Commission would be very very glad to pose was proud as asian on anybody if they really killed.

Ending almost 2 decades of violence in afghanistan has been high on the agenda at that conference in munich now a provisional agreement between the United States and the taliban and to reduce violence for one week how does there is diplomatic editor james bays reports. The war in afghanistan continues to claim a lawyer who is prepared to bury those killed in the u. S. Airstrike the u. S. Started counting civilian casualties in 2000 years into the conflict the decade since then over 100000 civilians were killed or injured. In munich the u. S. Was explaining the deal its now struck with the taliban an effort to try and end the war we have on the table right now a reduction in violence proposal that was negotiated between our ambassador and the taliban it looks very promising we have now been for a few days now in the process of consulting 1st with our congress ive had many conversations and then secondly concurrently with our nato allies in brussels now the u. S. Has done it steal its partners must follow other nato countries still have 8000 personnel in the country serving alongside of 12000 u. S. Troops we are not leaving afghanistan but we are prepared to adjust our force level if the taller bar on them assert their will and the ability to deduce violence and make compromises cut out of the negotiations with the taliban that theyve gone on for over a year with the Afghan Government president ashraf ghani had demanded a ceasefire be put in place before any deal in the step the taliban have only agreed to whats being called a reduction in violence the critical test is going to be will be will the exam in election as the mechanism the crucial mechanism of referring to that one people in the still have the view come of course afghanistans last election is still not been formally decided ashraf ghani has the most number of votes but hes not been declared the winner that is going to make things difficult in the coming days because afghanistan needs to choose the delegation for those talks that it now needs to have with the taliban james bays out just 0 munich.
