N24 Nachrichten - G20-Kater: Nach Randale-Nacht räumt Hamburg auf
Immer wieder brennen Barrikaden, Autonome zerschlagen Fensterscheiben mit schweren Pflastersteinen, brechen in einen Drogeriemarkt und eine Filiale eines Supermarkts ein. Sie plündern den Laden, tragen alles raus, zerfetzen das Mobiliar, um es unter dem Jubel Schaulustiger auf der Straße ins Feuer zu werfen. Auf einem Straßenzug der Schanze, Hamburgs linkem Szeneviertel, brennt es lichterloh. Während des G20-Treffens der führenden Wirtschaftsmächte lassen gewalttätige Demonstranten ihre Wut aus.
Doch der politische Gipfel hat noch seine schwerste Aufgaben vor sich.

Inside Story: Are the Saudis Funding Extremism?
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt accused Qatar of, among other things, supporting extremists - claims Doha strongly denies. Now, a report from a UK think tank is pointing the finger at Saudi Arabia for being a key figure in financing such groups. And raises questions about its role with armed groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant armed group.
There is also another report on the subject - from the British government, but its conclusions have not been made public. So, why is Saudi Arabia accusing other countries of sponsoring extremism? | Presenter: Sohail Rahman | Guests: Shafeeq Ghabra - Professor of Political Science at Kuwait University; Simon Mabon - Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Lancaster; Marwan Kabalan - Associate Analyst at the Doha Institute: Arab Center for Research & Policy Studies
Did Saudi Arabia Miscalculate with Qatar Feud? - UpFront
"I think [Mohammed bin Salman] has miscalculated, once again," says Barbara Slavin, Director of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council. "I think he has scored an own goal."
"[Mohammed bin Salman] is not going to have quick success everywhere and his biggest challenge, actually, is not in foreign policy, it’s in domestic policy, and in reforming and diversifying his economy, and that’s a huge undertaking," says Bernard Haykel, Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University.
The panellists also discussed whether relations between Gulf countries will recover.
"I think it is absolutely possible," Haykel says.
"There will be concessions from both sides, but I think that Qatar, culturally and religiously, is an extension of Arabia."
"This has never been a cohesive group and now it may be fatally broken," Slavin says.
