It was never a pandemic. A pandemic is .14% corona was .004%. Stupid people in Media making panic has caused this crisis.
Help one another in righteousness and piety.
I hope qatar sticks with Turkey vision
MBS is not a good for KSA
Well done QATAR you have shown them what the term "sovereign country" means.
WouaW I knew Macron was the biggest hypocrite on earth but to give the Legion of Honnor to a Torturer is beyond despicable.
Funny how Saudi demonizes Qatar in media. Makes me think of how USA demonises Russia and China in their news.
IT THIS NOT ABOUT SCIENCE,THEN WHAT IS IT ?IS THIS A POLITICAL ACT??IS THIS MAN MAID ??WHO KNOWS..WHY THEY ATE 4000 BIO/VIRUSES,FOR DEFENCE PURPOSES,,IF WE ARE NEVER GOING TO USE IT ?ARE THEY NOT GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN,FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH??ONCE THE JENNY OUT OF THE BOTTLE..A DISASTER FOR HUMANITY..
QATAR WAS PREVENTED FROM SENDING FOOD FOR THE STARVING YEMEN CHILDREN..GREAT !SAUDI ARABIA./UAE/ USA/UK/FRANCE..TERRORIST NATIONES,DICTATING QATAR..
The demands are ridiculous … shut down Aljazera..?? Seriously??? It’s funny how some people don’t want to see others do well. Jealousy I call it.!
"All the ways of Abraham's sons join in the Peace of the Lord". Sentence of God.
Iran 🇮🇷 is leader of Islamic nations… FOLLOW and respect 🙏
Hiden agenda the sauds are trying to merge into midle eastern states and muslim world generaly, has partially surfaced and it seems that there are different levels in this agenda that new emerging bloc is for instance controlled by sauds will at one point pass to another transition where we could have a hint of players who have initiated the process… outcome of these so called efforts to engage for peace is going to be the opposite of it's initial goals, with greater chances of conflits in the region.
White Obama is now working for Al Jazeera?
A dictatorship telling us it supports democracy.
😉
Al Jazeera you are funny
No needs to end the blockade on Qatar, maybe a few more decades 🙂

Arabian Gulf? No my son. Persian Gulf. Thank me later for educating you.
I doubt the issue in respective media’s is lack of funding…😂
It’s a brave leader to have a go cracking the tension. 🙏🏽 peace is always worth having another go at asking the question.
When ever a country defends him self from an enemy is called terrorist …..: lol . Well done Qatar 🇶🇦
don't trust this "BATIL" (ibn salman).
Qatar don't have to fall in their trap.
these people are (munafiqin) filthy, (sisi, emirates prince, bahrain's prince, ibn salman, morocco's king……….).
Qatar beat the Saudis n will be hosting th asain games. Be careful Qatar
PRAY GOD HAS MERCY ON AMERICA… BECAUSE IT SURE DOES NOT TAKE "DARWIN'S EXPERIMENT?" TO CALCULATE: ""WE'VE BEEN PREYED OPON"" 'LIKE DOG MEAT BELL'…! "F.B.! CRIME? = JAIL!@! {and any accumulated other new crimes] Da!, NO NOTA? NO DATA? ARRESTS? COURT? BUT WITH THE CRIME IN THEIR FACES! VOTER FRAUDS AND MANY OTHER CRIMES THAT GET -0- ATTENTION… MAY GOD HAVE MERCY! AND GRACE.
Does Trump realize that the rest of the World wants to get along with Iran and that these puppets will run back to the previous positions as soon as DJT is out of the WH? Does he understand Iran will need a head on a spike to return to the table? DJT digging his own grave🙄!
Just for the record the name has been and is “Persian Golf “.
Whit my respect demanding strict,, level playing field guarantees in exchange for access to its market regulations idenfinitely rather than trading it as an independent nation us evry one drime , Thank You Very much for video all my best personal regards,
Holy Quran: Truth would prevail over un-Truth! Thanks Al-Jazeera!
Another Propaganda Narrative. Shame on Al-Jazeera
QUATAR should have declined…….
Al-Jazeera should be banned,It is a media platform of "Radical Islamic Terrorism"
It’s forever been and will always remain The Persian Gulf
Wonderful work by Vinny Thomas …The world needs a make over in the following mould
1. One World Citizenship Identity that will be used for air travel and all travel including Vinny's train – No Visa and No Passport
2. One currency if possible one digital currency to reduce inequality among nation states with every profession receiving the same salary everywhere
3 . One World Parliament where we have one law making body for all the world …Youtube already uses one act to govern all nations on YouTube . We can use that system for all our laws
4. One Education System where the syllabus is based on Science , malleable,compressed and completely available on digital platforms .The Law and Human Rights should be taught to all including children to be aware of law and order
5. One Source of all kinds information disseminated by all Education outlets,Media stations and blogs ..no more numerous data on one issue . Media stations will give different interpretations on the one data not give different datum or numbers on one issue
6. One language for the world ,English taught to everyone from preschool everywhere in the world.
7. Psychologists in close conjunction with Science- understanding Religious leaders to be on counselling boards/ departments of every company every government office every Media Station , every newspaper, every religious center every institute and every school to educate them of Mental Health and keep them psychologically healthy
8. United Religions ( including cultures) like United Nations to be set up to encourage conscious understanding amongst religions and cultures with charters on how to relate with laws and Modernity
9 . Building language and cultural research centers for every culture in the world to preserve their data and encouraging interaction
10. Digitize every Government office and system including Education
11. Reconciliation to be inculcated in every Justice System including Meetings of Understanding amongst warring groups
12. Every profession in the world must be part of an International association of their profession …if you are an amateur you will be registered as one. This means we will be global and national intelligence outfits will merge to one global outfit
13. To distinguish between mental disordered persons and criminals by sending mentally disordered to rehab centers or hospitals rather than jail …sick people are vulnerable humans not slaves .Convicts should be counseled and assessed as as they live in humane jails. Theft crimes should pay and if they can't the work they will do. In the world will be source of the repayment of the money stolen .
14. Universal Basic Income for all where the money is the least and most reasonable standard of living money for any human whether working or not .Money drastically reduces crime to zero .
15. Thorough Funding of Science and Technology with liberty to discover and research like for stem cell research and drugs research
16. All Banks to have Business Loan managers to reduce bad loans by escorting businessmen in their projects they loaned money for .
17. No political parties in Parliament only Free individual opinion as a human.Factions in Parliament should be unofficial not official
18.Master planning of every region in the world – more like a centrally planned economy so that every project is known that will be done
19.Small businesses to meet a capital threshold of which no one who has reached the threshold should hold the business instead should a business that meets the threshold
20. All legal disputes should be completed in court first WITHOUT media coverage until a conviction or an aquittal is given .This to deal with conspiracy theories and gossip.
These 20 points can form the building blocks for a Humane World Government where we all trust each other and work together and making the world a better place together
The world is all twisted up by propaganda and misinformation. Science and rigid truth in reporting is something to covet.
We hate the kingdom but we love saudis
When a so called news channel fails to accept facts (in this case historical) and would forge a fake name (Arabian Gulf instead of Persian Gulf) then how we are able to accept it as being unbiased and objective?! I think not. A thumbs down from me.!!!
Did you mean to say Persian Gulf
Ya allah. Please remove munafiqun of islam. Please make this world harmony and peaceful.
Down with corrupt Sauds!
