DUBAI Cheap Nike Air Max 1 Black , July 23 (Xinhua) -- Sports and children TV channels owned by Qatar were back on the screens this weekend in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after being blocked since June, amid signs of easing of a diplomatic crisis.
The Doha-based beIN media group owns beIN Sports channels, which air live sports tournaments in the Middle East, and the channels for children, such as Baraem and Jeem. The channels are no longer banned in the UAE since Saturday, two UAE telecom providers Cheap Nike Air Max 95 Black , Du and Etisalat, have confirmed in text messages and emails to customers.
The beIN-owned channels were blocked since June 14 in the wake of the diplomatic rift between Qatar and the Saudi Arabia-led Arab quartet, which also includes the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
But the Qatari state-owned news channel Al-Jazeera and its websites remained banned so far.
The Saudi-led bloc cut their diplomatic ties with Qatar and imposed a blockade on the tiny rich Gulf nation on June 5, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism and interfering in their internal affairs. Qatar has strongly denied the charges.
The Arab quartet initially put forward a list of 13 demands to Qatar, demanding it close the Al-Jazeera channels Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Black , downgrading diplomatic ties with Iran, and stoping financing extremist groups.
Signs of easing of the Qatari crisis emerged recently after the visits to Gulf by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, as well as by foreign ministers of Britain, Germany and France. Kuwait has also played a role in calming down the tensions thorugh its intense mediation efforts.
After Qatar signed a deal with the U.S. on combating terrorism funding during Tillerson's visit, the Saudi-led alliance has reduced their demands for Qatar to only six broad principles, mainly including ending financing terrorism and inciting propaganda against them.
Qatar also revised its anti-terror law over the week in a bid to show its willingness to end the crisis. This move was welcomed by the UAE Cheap Nike Air Max Black , which hailed it as a "positive step" on Friday.
UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said that Qatar's latest move showed that the pressure "pays off" and could lead to "a sensible change of direction as a whole."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.
The current economic situation and outlook Cheap Air Max 95 Black , as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.
Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy, saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.
Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke Cheap Air Max 90 Black , who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.
In the public debut in her new role, Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.
Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate, now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.
"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective Cheap Air Max Black , the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.
While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected, Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.
