suggesting to help jordan to get jordan out of its economic crisis and this is a statement about this in tragedy of jordan for regional stability i'm surprised the what i was trying to get out with that question is given jordan's geographical position as a buffer it's surprising that the patients haven't put it further up the list of priorities yeah that's what i'm saying that this is very surprising i mean over the years jordan has been helping the gulf states in. propping up their security they helped them in different files but also in the regional security do then is very important ally for the gulf to state but over the last few years you know the gulf states have their own perception their own perception of a threat they differ with jordan over some files and that's probably explains why they did not help jordan when jordan was in badly need for how to what extent to jordan's king have any bargaining power with the that the gulf states. i do believe so i mean he's is achieved a victory actually in jordan when he identified with his own people and picked the prime minister of jor

a deal between the jordan russia and america that was decided on in september of last year and it was confirmed during the summit between fourteen and trump last november and now this is a serious breach of this deed and at the core of this he was training in the presence. is that iran demand was that iran has to be. forty to fifty kilometers from far from this border this is the core of the deed and today this back to will decide that you're reigning in the presence and its capability to engage with since day one you're on was trying to change the rules of engagement. is rare so now russia is russia testing that ability of america to defend this d. is it trying to test that readiness of that effort as a all or that is a deal that has been already. decided on and russia which. according to which iran will withdraw from that is that i.e.d. border and in exchange of that russia is the claiming that this will be on that at this point all let's just say what do you think is that sammy seems to suggest that perhaps there is a deal that compose all of the policy. to the conflict back from t

have given jordan two point five billion dollars but that's just a drop in the ocean compared to jordan's over forty billion dollar public debt is that going to be enough to really make a difference i mean that or just about cover jordan's interest payments on its loans when's it. that's true. jordan is approaching forty billion and it's ninety percent of the g.d.p. of the country and. the interest rate alone is one point nine billion annually so when you put all this together you would basically assume that this is probably a band-aid being put to it to cover necessarily a more serious bleeding that the country is suffering from economically but with all due respect i don't think this is only an economic problem jordan is suffering really from a very serious political problem that seems to be ignored and swept under the rug economic difficulties have always been there and this is the fourth such crisis in the last six years and i'm sure it will come back again in the future but what is different what is new this time and what explains the intensity of the protests is the fact that jordan

to arabia they all feel they can take care of themselves so there is a strategic change happening in jordan's regional role and its ability to to parlay its own structure of strategic geography into political relationships and this is where the king in jordan is really a challenge now to reconsider how best jordan can protect itself and the main answer to that is to have the strategic allegiance of his own people in the support of his own people i think he understands that in his bones his father certainly did but trying to do that while at the same time having enough money to pay your bureaucrats and your soldiers and your schoolteachers that's the great challenge that of the faces in jordan today ok let me give lamb is the last word so lamb is how does king abdullah deal with this dual challenge the external pressure of regional powers and the internal pressure how does he deal with the crisis. actually yeah first of all people are not totally buying vigils arisen and tax people are aware of the pressure i can't speak on behalf of many but i do go to the protests and are aware of the tremen

there's help to tip jordan into this precarious state. well jordan has had their financial aid from many of the gulf countries including saudi arabia and qatar and other countries and most of that has dried up or has gone on on to specific programs not helping the basic budget of the country and so jordan did have to go to the i.m.f. and ask for three years seven hundred twenty eight million dollar loan and that loan was conditional on number of austerity measures including an income tax law that there why didn't they wait in increases their percentage of people paying income tax and that put out the people in protest and now we're in a situation where jordan has shelved that law but they really don't have any alternative to cover their debt and so my ball sits in the first instance and i mean it's been suggested that it was because of of jordan's geo political position almost on a range of issues that she upset the prevailing powers in riyadh and that was the reason why the assistance was stopped. well there is different schools of thoug

offer jordan anything to help. well germany is already working with jordan there are significant funds being pledged also once again here during this trip jordan of course has a long history of migration is taken in many palestinians here and it's doing exactly the opposite from what germany's potentially planning more than ninety percent of refugees here live decentralize they live door to door to ordinary jordanians while in germany there's now talk again about these fast track centers where decisions are made faster but also where people stay up to a year until decisions are made so that effectively shifting from decentralization to something like refugee camps although at a much much more or less intense scale than we see here in the middle east because i thank you so much to w. chief political editor mccabe in amman jordan. hungary's prime minister viktor orban has emerged as a leading figure of the a use hardline anti migration or anti immigration wing and now the country's conservative led parliament approve

is jordan is one of two arab countries that signed a peace treaty with israel and jordan its border with israel is generally one of the quietest is it would be very worried that instability in jordan could lead to possibly the rise of the muslim brotherhood which they very much opposed then finally you have the united states and russia who have very strong ties and security ties with jordan and they're very much interested in maintaining the status quo now prime minister foreign minister was on c.n.n. earlier today and he blamed the international community for not sufficiently supporting jordan during these economic times but i think it's important to also note the united states has dramatically increased amount of aid they're giving to jordan it's about one point five billion dollars a year now jordan receives nearly double per person in development aid in afghanistan or haiti according to the economist so jordan while it's consistently blaming the international community is looking for handouts it's going to be very difficult to solve some of these economic woes when your national

about this in tragedy of jordan for regional stability jordan has been helping the gulf states in. propping up their security help them in different files but also in the regional security do then is very important ally for the gulf states but over the last few years you know the gulf states have their own perception their own perception of a threat they differ i was jordan over some files and that's probably explains why they did not help jordan when jordan was in badly need for help and jordan's central it in the region is widely acknowledged. so he's now in saudi arabia to meet. i mean the gulf illegal there and i think he's he's going to talk to them from a position of strength do that could not be laid down again because if jordan descent into mayhem or an arche for god forbid begin to suffer so this is the message so it's not about we just need money from unfun from the gulf estate it's about the need to empower jordanians to be in a position to also stand up to a new regional scheme that schemes that do not actually fit into the perception of regional security. environmental

to the sound of the people jordan is one of the most expensive. countries in the region and on the top of the words two with no resources that i'm just with the people of jordan . the increase in sales tax and employees being taxed more has infuriated the protestors and they want the government to resign. king abdullah has stood by prime minister hani milky despite calls to fire him the king's been instead calling for talks between m.p.'s and government ministers but moki is under international pressure to reform jordan's economy and cut its thirty seven billion dollar debt that is equivalent to ninety five percent of g.d.p. . the international monetary fund approved a seven hundred million loan to jordan two years ago to lower public debt and increase growth jordan relies heavily on financial help from the u.s. u.a.e. and until recently saudi arabia which has cut funding king abdullah is a key u.s. ally in the strategically important region which borders syria israel and iraq regional time or has worsened the kingdom's money problems and it shelt

jordan now. i think they might have to change their mind as you well know it was a package from the gulf states of about three point nine billion dollars annually combination from different states that went to jordan that has stopped about sixteen months ago and that's part of a main significant part of this crisis the same thing applies to the us the us stepped up its aid to jordan because of the syrian war and the role of jordan in that war and the refugees that are present in jordan and more than one billion in foreign aid came from washington and that's that's not guaranteed for the month term so therefore jordan is facing some serious difficulties if these dissipated let's say or already implemented cuts are not reversed there is no other income other than internal other than taxation so this explains the reasons why the outgoing prime minister tried to basically expand the base from four point five percent of the population to ten percent of the population to bring in almost half a billion

in jordan german chancellor angela merkel pleasant just one hundred million dollars in credit for jordan which already has some three hundred eighty four million in support and development aid it's a country that is severely under pressure from the issue of migration and that at the same time needs to make sure its own population has a good future those were the words of the german chancellor here recognizing jordan is contributing to keeping this region stable and stability is also what jordanian king of dollar said was a common interests were both countries were working for each other's interests here but of course the overarching issue for the german chancellor is the political crisis that is brewing back home and that is all about migration her initial open policy she severely under pressure her chief foreign policy adviser stayed behind in berlin to get more and more edu countries to pledge that they will join this special informal summit on migration this coming sunday which in the end will sow how great uncle americal personal support as a politician is in europe after all she pro

well jordan already has seven hundred thousand syrian refugees and if you go to jordan every third person you meet would be a palestinian so there are there is an internal politics that's playing out in jordan the want to get on the economic pressure as well beirut is very expensive eleven months very expensive but if you go to jordan and you find out i mean just the prices are escalating the point that i'm trying to make is that our extreme intolerant pressure on the government in jordan in the sea the leaders cannot accept any more refugees so where are these fifty thousand people likely to go. at the moment they are actually going deeper into that ever have standard to be in that route which means that they often closer to jordan they were to smugglers try to get into jordan will most likely adopt illegal means to get in there but some would also be something of an understanding between the gene and. rebels to develop it is not that is existing at the moment but the whole something develops so then they can perhaps brutal regime held areas or be bussed again to italy which we've seen a

into jordan has done as well yes the main problem actually is that jordan has been at the crossroads of conflict for so many years starting from one thousand forty eight with palestinian refugees on thing to do with syrian refugees so jordan is always bombarded with refugees from all countries surrounding it and that what six the pressure on their resources which means budget deficits now the i.m.f. was always telling people to use us thought they might just talk so that they will give them loans because if loans are not repaid they will have to be written off and that's not popular with the donuts and therefore there you have a dilemma or it given that the country's economic problems are not entirely of its own making with the influx of the refugees as we said the money from saudi arabia the u.a.e. being withdrawn at the i.m.f. so requests because they're not making demands of jordan or they but the guidance they're requesting the recommendations they are reasonable. at this time i think so because well that their claim is that you have told them with this waste that they have proba
