arabia as you know as abdullah in kuwait pulse of the crown prince's remarks referred to saudi arabia reverting back to what he called a moderate form of islam and he said. that his country's embrace of a fairly a fairly strict interpretation of islam was a consequence a direct consequence of the ninety seventy nine iranian revolution what do you think of that is is that accurate. well i mean there is a lot of development of fast basing development in saudi arabia that is really something unheard of unprecedented i mean there is an almighty in between a political modernization if it will fly the canonical reforms major major may get make it envelops the death is a major quantum leap if it will succeed with this with these make yes it is but also there has to be some socio economic development that is that this is a huge ambitious plan that if it will fly then not only saudi arabia but the whole middle east is really a cause of major change and development that will benefit probably the whole region but there is a formidable there are formidable challenges before that there is the reli

these are all policies that are pursued by saudi arabia have been pursued by saudi arabia and they only use the smokescreen of iran's nuclear program as a way to hide behind it and to sort of justify their own iranians policies i guess the nuclear agreement deprive them of that smokescreen and that. they are screaming back to donald trump do you miss the days of barack obama when it comes to dealing with the administration or do you feel that ultimately donald trump is a pragmatist and he'll do the right thing from your perspective at the end of the day i think the situation inside the united states is the business of american people not ours. and whatever the american people do or don't do they were sort of enjoy or suffer the consequences for us of what is important is the global posture of the united states is global behavior it hasn't been positive it has not been conducive to stability in our region we have seen the consequences of u.s. policies in our region both historically as well as since president from took office and i don't think they've been conducive to peace and stabilit

arabia on saudi arabia's airstrikes in yemen because that will force saudi arabia to the negotiating table while coffee is still in santa and if that happens then the terms dictated on the table will be by horsy under former president ali abdullah saleh and not saudi arabia in essence and i know this is not the intention behind the investigation we are inadvertently legitimizing a military coup from a militia and we should be asking serious questions as to what message is being sent out when the international community believes that both of the parties are equal and the government of abdullah by months or heady instead of saying that the please let's get a political settlement and then let's deal with these very serious human rights issues that have come about as a result of your machinations and your occupation of the cities in yemen but this investigation sami hand the is going to look at abuses by all sides and the fact is that most of the suffering of the yemeni people has been since the saudi led. bombing campaign which began in march of twenty fifteen eight thousand over eight

saudi arabia is going to have to perhaps concede that. bashar al assad will remain in power for the forseeable future well it's rare to find the three guests and inside story are all on the same page but this time it happens i think we're all on the same page we're all agreeing that this is a recognition of the new russian role in the middle east and i think this happens for two major reasons one is that russia has emerged as the conflict resolver of the middle east conflicts especially given the kid that received managing successfully managing so far its own interest the conflict in syria after geneva failed a stand led by russia is making progress and the other major reason actually russia built cleared the billeted in the region that it's able and willing and supports its allies even autocratic allies in these these countries all the way to the end no matter how much the price is going to be like as again the lessons drawn from from syria russia goes all the way in supporting autocratic regimes and this is especially important to link

of the kingdom of saudi arabia and nine hundred thirty two you must realize that saudi arabia and russia are the only two producing countries which can flood or start of the global oil market and therefore they have a great influence on the global economy and the price of oil how over the course of preparation between saudi arabia and russia could support be oil price to start with and maybe they may be agreeing to extend the production costs for a further three months maybe it has the end of the president putin has already indicated that that could be the key is so here we can see all sorts. of rise in the importance of russia in middle east then and global affairs and that a beautician and of course such cooperation between saudi arabia and russia could be a positive or could lead flecked positively on the conflict is syria although saudi arabia and russia out of a pleasant side and you called it a shim between them could come to the situation and google is they could reach eventually a break in the deadlock and bring peace to syria but will just get back to syria little later but let'

arabia in the first visit of a ruling saudi monarch to russia saudi saudi arabia's king solomon and russia's president vladimir putin met in moscow they worked out a slew of deals including trade and economic cooperation telecommunications security weapons and oil agreements it's ushered in bilateral ties reaching a new level after decades of rivalry nearly a year ago the two lead a deal within the organization of petroleum exporting countries and its affiliates states to cut oil production by one point eight million barrels per day for six months it was a bid to shore up prices that deal was extended in prices have gone up hitting now above fifty dollars dollars a barrel though it cannot be said that all countries involved are sticking to their promises after an extension to that agreement we may see yet another. to dig deeper into the oil issue between saudi arabia and russia and how it affects the wider world as well as the future of the opec cut extension i'd like to bring in chris martenson the c.e.o. and co-founder of peak prosperity dot com chris thanks so much for joining me

saudi arabia contracted and in will rate of 1%. qatar, which has been cut off by the saudi led locks since june, salt gdp growth 0.6% year on year. compared with 2.5% in the first quarter. our government reporter has more. are notimilarities huge. qatar is a small country, saudi arabia's much bigger, over 30 million people. saudi arabia is much more dependent on oil, qatar is the biggest exporter of lng. you can see low oil prices are in fact inflicting a lot of pain across the region. even qatar, which was really a huge amount of infrastructure and still building it to host , a lot of growth was generated from that, data from the second quarter yesterday showed us that basically even they were feeling the pain. neighborsefore their led this boycott of the economy, where they severed diplomatic and transport links. that is inflicting a lot of pain on them. >> let's take a look at saudi arabia's economy. it has not contracted for two consecutive quarters since at least 2010. for seeing the effects right now of what the government is

let's turn to saudi arabia. s&p confirmed the kingdoms rating with a stable outlook as it expects saudi employees to consolidate public finances. be growth is expected to broadly flat this year with only a slow pickup after that. the imf said they expect reforms taken by the kingdom to yield a 90 billion -- $90 billion used by 2020. by 2020. >> were talking about gradual increases in petroleum prices, particularly diesel. you would have to raise prices about 175% of international prices. what we are talking about is maybe a gradual adjustment. it is perfectly feasible. much of the benefits from the subsidies go to businesses and corporate, not households. what you can put in place is a safety net, which they are planning to do. the cost is around maybe $9 billion. perfectly feasible. important newser is fiscal adjustment is taking place. there is no reason to have a balanced budget i 2019 or 2020. yousef: i want to pick up on that. we have put this on the bloomberg, 7273. list -- run, to say the the least. posit

saudi arabia and saudi arabia has skepticism about the wrong signals. sent by washington d.c. washington d.c. sends one signal saying that iran. is abiding to the nuclear deal and another signal. by the presidency the leadership saying the u.s. leadership saying that iran should be punished for not abiding to the nuclear agreement now. they they are not very pleased with. their credibility. partner in the u.s. so they are going to have the balance between the u.s. and russia this is strategic balance drastic change in their foreign policy it seems so yeah very interesting to see how that pans out obviously in the long run for the you know development in the middle east with the syrian conflict etc we'll see what agreement saw saw signed after this search.

saudi arabia, however, is denied. we speak to the vice chairman of the kuwait market capital authority. china's central bank unveils a targeted lending plan to -- preserve ratios are to be cut to help small businesses and farmers. it is 8:00 a.m. in dubai, 5:00 a.m. in london. i'm tracy alloway, this is bloomberg mark -- this is berg markets: middle east." it was a dramatic end to the corner, with a sharp uprise move in the u.s. 10 year yield. it ended the carter at 2.33%. when we started, -- it ended the quarter at 2.33%. it started at 2.2%. the dollar resurging after months of weaknesses. fdxlly, u.s. stocks continuing to rally. in the fourth quarter, we have a number of big events that -- coming up, including the 19th national communist party in china. before them, let's take a look at how u.s. markets fared on friday. we did see interesting moves. the nasdaq composite and russell records onreaching friday, after a report that donald trump and treasury secretary steve mnuchin had met with a former fed governor to d

egypt, saudi arabia didn't say the demands had to be met. whatthey said was this was the framework has to be for discussions and let's go through the demands. number one, qatar will curb diplomatic ties with iran and closed at dramatic missions there. #she, it will sever all ties to terrorist organizations, specifically the muslim brotherhood, islamic state, has been law, al qaeda. they would designate these entities as terror groups. it will shut down qatar funds, jihad, middle east, it will eliminate the turkish military presence in qatar, stop means of funding for individualist organizations designated as terrorists by saudi arabia, the u.s.. it will hand over terrorist figures, it will and interference of sovereign country's internal affairs, stop , payl opposition reparations for the loss of life, accept monthly audits and align itself with other gulf and arab countries along the 24 team memorandum of understanding. i realize some people think that is over the top and qatar would give up its form policy if it did that. i won't say i agr

to dig deeper into the oil issue between saudi arabia and russia and how it affects the wider world as well as the future of the opec cut extension i'd like to bring in chris martenson the c.e.o. and co-founder of peak prosperity dot com chris thanks so much for joining me on this saudi arabia russia looking to sign a three billion dollar deal enjoying investments which include one point one billion dollars and an agreement for cyber and a russian petrochemical plant to build that plant in saudi arabia is this just the first of many new energy and petro deals between these two countries that is a a very big deal especially considering what the past relationship was between saudi arabia and russia this is a very very big deal the three billion dollars itself a kind of a notional amount given the size of these two countries and what they're up to but look at the realignment that had to happen saudi arabia and russia kind of on opposite sides of the whole syria conflict so looking for a change in that it just means that putin is established himself really as a key player a leader in the m

he is in saudi arabia this week. he sat down with the ceo of oil giant saudi aramco at the company's headquarters and got some clarity on ipo plans as well as involvement there of sovereign investors. >> the ibo is on track, and the listing venue, we will be discussed and shared saab ji aramco, not talking to the chinese or others. we did prepare streamlined all necessary work we evaluated and analyzed the different venues >> we heard this morning from prince alawaleed he had some other thoughts about china in saudi aramco. >> do you think or do you know that the ceo said that the chinese are not or at least that he is not talking to the chinese? is it possible that the says chinese could be talking to the government >> well, you know, i'm not a member of the government, but i read these reports >> saudi arabia is an anchor exporter of china. i heard a lot of discussion in the western media that if china comes and buys x percent of saudi aramco this may delay the projected ipo of aramco. oil companies in the world --

of course, one of its biggest customers is saudi arabia. so how can the labour party on the one hand adamantly they say arms sales stop, and on the other hand say, we will save those jobs? 0k. it is the law in britain, and indeed it is the law internationally, that we should not be selling arms to regimes that use those arms for internal repression or for international terror, right? we believe that saudi arabia have been using british weapons in yemen and have been slaughtering people, and there have been far too many civilians who have been killed and it had happened again and again and again, and there seems to be no letting up. now, in those circumstances, it is our opinion that there should be no further arms sales to saudi arabia, until there is a proper international independent investigation into the behaviour of both sides, so that we are clear. if it has been seen that british weapons have been used for the killing of innocent civilians, we should not be selling arms to saudi arabia. i'm sorry, i misunderstood. i looked at your qu

real fundamental change in saudi arabia. i can't tell you what i've learned cannot hear that there is serious change in saudi arabia. that's why you have so many here from across the world getting a piece of the action. exclusive newsmaking interviews it among the big names, treasury secretary stephen mnuchin with me today. see how blackstone group steve swartz then. global chairman and ceo mark white river. see how the london stock exchange and you roll a hand steve case. fox business network dagen mcdowell come and see if with doubt and economics professor at king's college, ryan renberg. good morning, everybody. great to see you. >> good morning. maria: a lot to talk about. what's on your agenda. dagen: hillary clinton and her team and the dnc were behind the controversial discredited dossier put together. i hope they own it and i hope the humor comes down on everybody associated with that dossier put together against president trump. maria: it's incredible, dagen. how long have we been thinking on this program collusion

we're going to take you live that you were saudi arabia this is saudi television we're watching rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state giving a press briefing along with his saudi counterpart i know there were a little late joining this week we've finally got translation of the event so let's listen in to to what is now the final stages of this press briefing rid of them all the foreign foreigners fighters in iraq this is quite important and the iraqi will iraq will receive the support from its neighbors this agreement is quite important in helping the iraqi people to achieve what the iraqis want and we need to iraqi arab relations as well. completely open as a matter if you allow me i agree with everything said by mr teller certain the kingdom of saudi arabia and iraq have geographical and historical relations and family relation of the same time economic relations with our neighbors and we will be doing a lot to producers of the our. roads and it's quite important to have good relations between the two countries iraq and saudi arabia unfortunately during the past and because of politics

i'm going to put this to say it seems that me from saudi arabia and u.a.e. is point of view it backfired i mean it's interesting that the u.a.e. is not on tellus ins list here so. what what's he hoping for now and what's he going to do with the people that he's that he's leaving out and the holes that can be filled going forward and so i think and that's going to g.c.c. there because we've got a meeting in the forty's that going to happen. meeting is not going to happen i think that meeting all indications today as we speak point to the fact that it's going to be pushed beyond indefinitely that's what at least the sentiment of the kuwaitis at this time and in terms of excluding any parties from dismiss it or any other visits i mean contacts are continuing with all the parties frankly some are excluded from this visit mostly because i think the administration feels that that's this particular party duckie referred to the emirates as not being as for profit at all in this effort so they feel like it's a waste of time anyway to include him in them decided to en

arabia not what the saudi arabia once and i do believe it's also not what russia wants. other headlines are small in the u.s. senate intelligence committee says the voting in the twenty sixteen presidential election was not affected by alleged russian meddling. we can certify. that no vote totals were affected if the pallies are accurate the outcome of the election based upon we can remember. they did not in any way shape or form that we've been able to find and alter that from there we heard members of the senate intelligence committee say that they believe that russia was currently in the process of trying to create chaos in the us elections and they talked about social media the vice chairman of the committee who is mark webber he went on to say that social media platforms were not taking the threat of alleged russian meddling seriously enough facebook recently turned over three thousand ads that they say were russia linked over one hundred thousand dollars worth of advertisements that were bought between the years of two thousand and fifteen and twenty seventeen the

arabia and the saudis and the iraqi structure sold them. a story against qatar and why qatar supports terrorism and so so forth and why they need to take a stand against the how now since then as i said there were a number of stories in the american press really uncovering some of the details now we know one that. saudi arabia notably of the dubby wanted some sort of a change in qatar because they don't like the regime in qatar because it's disagreeable to them and because it supported the arab spring that supported all sorts of movements in the arab world to their disliking second we know that trick style or certain the secular set that knows the region all too well probably the best secretary of state knowledge of the region as a former c.e.o. of exxon mobil almost as much as george schultz from the reagan administration when he was the c.e.o. of again another major contractor of the middle east knows it so well that he knows that qatar is not involved in any of the incitements. or support for terrorism that he's accused of and also knows

stopping arms sales to saudi arabia? >> very clearly that we should not in the way the refueling saudi planes. if we stop refueling these planes, it would make it much harder for saudi arabia to bomb civilians in yemen. it means we should stop cord meeting with saudi arabia in targeting any civilians. on the secretary mattis house armed services committee whether we were still doing these things. he saithat we are not. but up until recent reports, there was activity of our refueling or assting in targeting. we want to make it very clear going forward but this should not continue. that is what this resolution would do. amy: earlier this, au and rp said 683 children in yemen were killed -- earlier this month, a u.n. report said 683 children in yemen were killed or injured by the saudi-led coalition in 2016. amnesty international and other rights groups criticized the u.n. report for underplaying the role of the saudi-led coalition in human rights violations in yemen, while saudi arabia rejected the findings as inaccurate a

flinch or change its position it will be most probably most likely saudi arabia not that. emirates i mean this is the reason for this particular stop there in addition i think as mentioned earlier and the program this is an agenda that's not totally focused on the g.c.c. crisis there are other items on the agenda that had nothing to do with that and this trip has a diverse and complex agenda so that was not necessary necessarily if you screw this particular trip. ok what's it going to take a reluctance to talk certainly from the saudi arabian sides are in might not see anything in camp david soon political impasse what needs to happen right now. i'm very pessimistic because i think all sides have made it clear that they are now their plans and this trip the strategy ahead is one which is not within a g.c.c. of six the u.a.e. and saudi arabia will probably go forward having meetings joint meetings within the quartet possibly leaving out kuwait and all man as well because these two countries don't really want to be part of the g.c.c. or five without qatar and with qatar bein

true to hear we are in saudi arabia. you can't believe the number of people here trying to get a piece of the action basically because there's turning to scratch this completely changed idea in terms of what saudi has been a closed society. the question is are they moving too fast? will they feel to change the perception and get foreign money coming into the country? >> a front-page article about that very thing today. so amazing you are there. this is such a huge shift in terms of moving from the investment funds that invested in this saudi arabia and economy, investing in only domestic interest, banks, fish farm at one point, is now trying to shift from being solely and on oil to technology investments. the general points out that $3.5 billion investment in goobers sometime last year that didn't go that well with the ceo of that company recently. but i think that the amount of money at stake and the attendees at the conference is proof of how much money saudi arabia is going to be investing in decades to come. maria: y

it is because of the saudi campaign. unfortunately, we have been aiding saudi arabia. we have been fueling the saudi, refueling saudi planes, assisting them with targeting. none of this has been approved by the united states congress. so we invoked the war powers resolution, which says very simply, congress needs to vote on our actions in yemen. we hope both republicans and democrats will vote to stop our assistance to saudi arabia in a campaign that has violated human rights. am what exacy would that mean? stopping arms to alesudi arabia? >> very clearly that we should not in the way the refueling saudi planes. if we stop refueling these planes, it would make it much harder for saudi arabia to bomb civilians in yemen. it means we should stop cord meeting with saudi arabia in targeting any civilians. on the secretary mattis house armed services committee whether we were still doing these things. he said that we are not. but up until recent reports, there was activity of our refueling or assisting in targeting. we want to make it very clear going forward but this should

rex tillerson is going to be bringing to to doha after his talks in saudi arabia today . you know we're really mixed messages before tillerson left washington when you saw a definite change in tone he explicitly came out and before he said we're not taking sides everyone needs to sit down and talk but before he left he had an interview which he doesn't do many of and he explicitly blamed the. basically the standoff on the blockading countries say calling it the saudi led coalition and said that they were simply refusing to talk so we wondered would that tough talk continue into saudi arabia it didn't he had a very brief press conference with the saudi arabian foreign minister and you just sit again repeated we think all sides need to sit down and talk so what will be the tone be when he comes here to talk with the entire foreign minister we're waiting to see coming on this trip he said and this is somewhat unusual usually secretaries of state they're going to make the trip they expect to make some progress he really downplayed expectations that there was going to be any b

we want to invest in saudi arabia, and saudi arabia is a tremendous market. you see the potential this country has. it is a country we have not invested in the past in, but is on our radar screen and we spend a lot of time looking at the best avenues for investment in saudi arabia. >> what investments or geographies are you focused on? >> we have a diverse portfolio in geography and sectors. we have been doing a lot, aluminum to semiconductors to oil and gas, petrochemicals, where we have significant exposure to today and healthy portfolios. technology is an area we are heavily investing in. softbank for example, satellites, data centers come also expanding into sectors we have never invested in in the past such as agricultural, biotech. in terms of geography, we have been heavy in terms of north america, europe, western hemisphere. we have been pivoting by investing more in asia, china is an area we have been focusing on lately. new markets, pressure for the last couple of years come also successful in terms of rates of return in russia. i would say south am

saudi arabia's king solomon is in moscow for five days the first visit by a saudi monarch to russia you know hold talks with russia's president vladimir putin on the war in syria will top the agenda along with bilateral investment and stable i think while markets joining us on set you discuss this is it for him an associate professor in conflict management and humanitarian action at the doha answer to thank you very much and i understand you are freshly back from a trip to russia so you are absolutely the person for us to talk to thank you so what do you what kind of support is saadi looking for from russia well actually saudi arabia is looking for support from those on the front of all those i think number one could be syria where actually they both see that they need each other. and russia is expecting. to support for its political solution in syria and at the same time saudi arabia is expecting as a result of the support is to get some positions in the government future government for their allies in the opposition but more importantly i think is also the issue with the gulf crisis a
