The decision is that his grace since strong words from English Premier League manager. European ban is lifted. Now we begin with breaking news from the International Court of justice at the hague its ruled in favor of qatar in a dispute with 4 out of countries that have imposed a blockade on the gulf states and have prevented qatar the aircraft from flying over their air space the court said the u. N. Civil Aviation Agency has jurisdiction in this case because of one. You know. For all. Of. Us too. By 15 both you. Told me that the council of the International Civil levy here organization has duties you can do that they. Need to eat by the government of the day of. The 27 p. And the seat of the occasion he said nice little well it all began in june 27th team in saudi arabia the u. A. E. Buckley and egypt severed ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and air blockade doha then called on the International CivilAviation Organization to declare the air blockade illegal but the blockade in countries challenge that moves suggesting the un agency didnt have jurisdiction to handle the dispute but in 2018 the agency rejected that claim insisting that it does have jurisdiction move in qatar as favor the blockading countries then turned to the International Court of justice asking it to reexamine the issue of jurisdiction its now ruled in qatars favor once again it paves the way for doha to possibly sue the blockading countries for compensation or find other ways to end the air blockade. Saudi arabia the u. A. E. And egypt accuse qatar as government of supporting terrorism allegations without evidence that doha has strongly denied every strictures imposed 3 years ago affected several major flight routes the pos through the airspace of the blockade in nations that force Qatar Airways to make longer detours and use limited alternate flight paths out and says the airspace restrictions by saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Are a clear violation of International Law and a step vasant has been covering this story for us at the hague and shes joining us live this was an extremely complex case step if you can just talk us through what was happening in court. Well legal experts here call it a very confident in the sense that it was a very clear further that i think many here had expected that some of the appeal might have been rejected and might not have been rejected it comes down to 2 cases that have been filed by the 4 countries against qatar. Deals with she cargo convention from 94. 00 to 4. 00 but also an air Services Transit agreement also signed in 1944 those agreements to deal with the same issue which is a freedom of movement between countries airspace so basically a country is allowed to fly into another countrys airspace exactly as qatar has wished would happen so qatar as you said has filed this case and the i counsel and the countries have appealed against this verdict now the president has explained at length that the Chicago Convention signed by most nations in the world that this is a very right convention to use that it deals exactly with this issue that qatar is dealing with now because the 4 countries had said it wasnt the case they said this isnt a security issue dealing with terrorism it has nothing to do with the asian so the president has made made clear that it has to do it. Also another appeal part of the appeal was about the negotiations the countries had q scott of not doing enough to to come to a diplomatic settlement before taking the case to the i. K. O. Counsel now the president here at the court has decided that qatar did everything it could to to make all the diplomatic efforts possible to avoid going to the i. K. O. Council even until the last minute the president said but it was very clear that the countries were unwilling to reach decide to mend so on all accounts this appeal was rejected it means now that the ball is back. What the i. K. O. Counsel who now has to really go into the content of the case and make a ruling about this blockade so experts here are telling me this could unfortunately still take a couple of years but now for now of course this is a very positive outcome for cuttack. Vasan life for us in the hague i want to talk to aljazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bashar those who serve with us in doha the obvious question of course marwan is what does this mean for the eventual lifting of the book aid because this was always seen as a key step and that. Absolutely happened again as weve heard from our correspondent its just its going to be a question of time its and usually with International Organizations review and. Organization its its quite difficult usually there are sort of frustrating process will go forward because the bureaucracy is quite cumbersome and usually states have lots of leverage now whether they care would actually be able to enforce the thing sooner than later theyre made to be seen but the fact that saudi arabia and they are members of the International CivilAviation Organization means that eventually theyre going to have to come to terms with its ruling. And that actually goes it to a lot of other aspects to this conflict here in the region but it would not be and we have had been at them and they have been stubborn they have failed to admit their failure if you will but enhanced they wont even accept a Trump Administration initiative in order to sit down with a present to get this thing out on the basis of an American Initiative. All in all this was an important cornerstone an important day and the fact that one quarter when you are an arm told the u. A. E. And saudi arabia that another u. A. d army that is already seen this brief to be to have the jurisdiction to rule on it i think thats thats thats huge thats important but as you said were going to have to wait and see how this is just that other aspects of exultant of. One of the key elements of the ruling that the court made was the fact that in the urn initial representation they had been upon no effort on the goshi ation on the part of saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain and egypt in order for this to progress is there is there any hope do you think that some sort of negotiation might open up and that night leads to a pot towards more talks. Just to remind our viewers around the world that. The blockade the countries impose 13 conditions or rather preconditions who are sitting down with the companies and has ended and almost everyone in the International Community including paris london and washington who looked at these conditions have said you know and the in the words of then foreign foreign minister secretary of state denison that this were basically ridiculous that there were nothing forcible but not realistic and also cool and just to again to remind our viewers on the world is that one of those conditions was closing a lot of the network aljazeera that is based in qatar so really the idea that the couple could have negotiated with these countries when these countries are but the condition that basically of our surrender makes it all you know to unrealistic to blame god therefore not going to negotiate d thats one too i think what weve heard the last few days about an American Initiative. To bring the parties together you know on on the basis of something thats reasonable at magic that was rejected them or dig to fox news the american presidency for its network that was rejected by the e. U. Each in particular that convinced me but to walk away from the American Initiative that really tells us that the bulk of the countries feel uncomfortable even sitting down with their you know. The United States and this mission it will do to figure this thing out clearly and in in in in some after 3 years of failures it seems out of about be in and we are out of finding it ever too difficult to just admit their mistakes admit their fears and try to work for a Better Future for this region and went through this gulf. Is there any suggestion that this ruling given the fight that as you say that we have to be aware that these things do take time particularly with it with International Law at the same time this ruling does give a degree of leverage on the part of qatar in terms of strength in the amount of International Opinion if you like with regards to whether or not the blockade should be withdrawn. Absolutely and you know its so you know im completely open about this i persist i myself had to get some legal advice if you will about the legal aspect of this thing because i had definitely understand the political implications and why this is a very oughtnt step forward fork i thought in terms of you know unblocking if you were in the blockade but clearly the fact that saudi arabia u. A. E. Bahrain and egypt are arts are i carry or they are part of the International Civil administration. It means that theyre going to have to apply rules the fact that they try to escape that by running away to the International Criminal court judge a force or court of justice did not add much to their gimmicks and then today this has really blown up on their faces it went back to the International Signal mr ition and we know where its leaning so now the question is whether they will treat empty any punitive action on the part of you that the very issue on arms will have to act. Or whether they will wait until they are totally embarrassed that you know with a lot of dressed down by the United Nations arms for them to do something i suggest and seems like everyone else suggests around the world is that a silly arabian there he needs to get to the we need to really admit their fear the need to listen to the United Nations supervision or international. Court of justice and just basically lift the blockade because it is really a waste of time were still in the g. H. And frankly its always a its a lot of Global Warming for all these employees that just have to go through all of what iran in order to go back south and so so forth its just been a terrible 3 years it will be great for everyone if the stream listen to the International Criminal court that they would listen to that theyre not a signal of appreciation and accept the ruling and lift the blockade. As aljazeera senior political analyst marwan shot a month thank you very much indeed and the more ahead on the news including 5 years later we look at the Iran Nuclear Deal is it a thing of the past or does it have a future.

Equipment from the chinese telecoms giant hallway from december 31st its called the decision disappointing and politicized by mr obamas johnsons been under pressure from within his own party and the u. S. Which says the company is a Security Risk britains digital minister all over doubt and says it was not an easy decision but the right one for u. K. Telecoms. The u. K. Can no longer be confident it will be able to guarantee the security of future life while we fight to equipment affected by the change in us foreign direct product rules the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new affected huawei quick meant to build the u. K. s future 5 g. Networks said to be clear from the end of this year Telecoms Operators must not by any 5 to equipment from while away and once the Telecom Security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so when again bob is live for us in london this is quite a u. Turn for the u. K. Government what made it change its mind. It is a big change in direction the government is stressing that things have changed not just because there has been open pressure from politicians in the United States and also from some members of the conservative party here in parliament who are very worried about chinas human rights record in places like hong kong and in the same jiang region towards its ethnic we go hopi lation but they say that whats really changed is the imposition of new u. S. Sanctions in may has made it harder for who are way to produce microchips which they can trust they might have to turn to a 3rd party and so according to the British Government ahead of that and out some by the digital minister varo agencies are saying that now it is more in secure to allow. In britains 5 g. Network this is obvious see not as quick as some of those conservative m. P. s the china skeptics 12 theyre saying that all 5 g. Kit from hawaii has to be out of the system by 2027 so its a somewhere in the middle theyve given them the certainty that by next year within a year they will have stripped out they will have by and rather a new huawei kit but there is that extension so that the firms do have time. Live for us in london thank you very much indeed adrian maas is a Freelance Technology journalist hes joining us on skype from london good to have you with us youve always saying this is about u. S. Trade policy and has nothing to do with security is that right. Well. There is some inconsistency i would say i mean clearly china is not 3rd terror machine there are several points of conflict the South China Sea territorial claims as been said that we the hong kong clamp down and china does very actively spying against the west of course the west actively spies against china as well. So theres a certain justification there no doubt and both china have been caught in the past plate compromising the equipment that they sell as have the western. Spying agents is picking the 5 eyes the u. S. The u. K. Australia new zealand and canada well no networking kit from cisco has been compromised in christian software from people like r. S. A. Really the mainstays of the people use around the world so you know theres just trick asian on the other hand other companies that on the same basis you would think we would be concerned. Like you know who make a large number of p. C. s many of which they used in government dont seem to be targeted in the same way whilst the fact that america has been targeting d. J. D. J. Only drones which are chinese and they apart from emergency use theyve stopped government using them altogether but they havent been saying that there are a way should stop using them so its confusing i think i suspect theres an element of politics and the element of justified concern i want to ask you about the time scale in all of this because the u. K. Is saying that all hardware gear has to be dismantled by 2027 thats a very long time away and of course in that time we may well see we are going to see elections of course in the United States we may see a different ministration in the United States we may even see a different government. Or possibly a different government in the u. K. Why do you think that this roll out if you like for dismantling is taking so long. Well. It its not just a case for replacing one bit of the quitman with another this kit has to be part of an structure that is sort of integrated in to some extent relies on other bits of the same vendors kit in other parts of the network bt were already in the process and theyve actually said that they would remove 4 way kit as British Telecom from. The core of their network and they they aim to do that but then said it would take longer by 2018 and they were moving to a system that would make it much easier to swap bits of kit in an out and then the most affected by this because not only did they own one of the mobile phone networks in the u. K. He also of the company that supplies most of the mobile phone marks with the fixed connections the fiber optic connections that supply the man asked and vodafone are also certainly in fact affected i think theres been of. Negotiation here really which is more based on what reducing cost of of doing it rather than the actual physical problems of doing it and the big the big benefits are going to be probably ericsson in this looks like bt is certainly switching to ericsson kit nakia may pick up some work as well.
