Arent aware that the president will be making his speech about the environment today but they live it on a daily basis this is a very outdoors state youre very aware of the outdoors when you are here and i think people even some officials are quite costly to talk about manmade Global Climate change but at the back of many peoples minds is or what can we do about this were seeing this happening on a daily basis and then for the fires for instance the hotshot crews that are brought in from all over the country a very thinly stretched i know fire officials are thinking well if alaskan summers keep getting hotter and longer were not going to have the resources to deal with things like this and were not talking about Something Like deforestation where you can replant trees were talking about glaciers that of tens of thousands if not millions of years old rapidly disappearing and theres not much without radical policy change that anyone here can do thanks so much i think gallagher there.

Chiles populated capital santiago as well as the bug by useful region could be left without Drinking Water by 2030 according to the report but there are ways to avoid disaster one of them is to stop losing water that flows from these rivers straight into the Pacific Ocean that would require dams just as a giant is the need to build more reservoirs before having to resort to large scale to sell in isolation of chiles long Pacific Ocean coastline water expert philip in my teens says theres a severe infrastructure deficit. Unfortunately a reservoir takes 17 to 20 years to build while the hospital takes maybe for yes the new hospital benefits those who are sick today but we arent seeing the illness that the country as a whole could suffer from the lack of investment in infrastructure. The government has in fact announced it will build at least 20 new reservoirs.

One of the last remaining ancient forests in Southeast Asia is a lifeline to hundreds of lumberjacks and drivers. We follow their treacherous journey as they walk through extreme conditions. And transport this dangerous but precious cargo risking it all. On aljazeera. Were there for you. Donald trump to deliver a major speech claiming the u. S. Is a world leader in Environmental Issues just like continued criticism by conservation groups this is the experts sound the alarm about the impact of Climate Change on the glasses in americas northernmost state. Follow that line for the steve barger watching aljazeera live from london also coming up the International Criminal Court Convicts the former colleagues rebel leader bosco into ganda of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Could georges Tourism Industry be in for a bumpy ride as a moscow of travelers from russia comes into effect. Color in the next half hour the u. S. President will deliver a controversial speech touting his the ministrations environmental achievements the whole trouble claim that america is leading the world on the issue despite contrary evidence from the Environmental Protection agency under trying dozens of environmental rules and standards put in place by the Obama Administration have been overturned all scaled back and has more details. Well it really is there on the planet which by the way you know we have gotten better since even better President Trump statements about the environment have drawn criticism years before he began campaigning for the White House Trump said he believed Global Warming was a hoax created by the chinese to hurt the u. S. Economy in office he announced the u. S. Withdrawal from the 26000 paris climate agreement an International Effort to limit the rise of global average temperature by 2030 and he began revoking laws aimed at protecting the environment more recently hes also claimed you know we have the latest terror of the world in the United States and gotten better since im glad we have the greatest water its crystal plain and i always say i want Crystal Clear water data from the Environmental Protection agency shows that the number of bad air days jumped 20 percent in 2017 which was also the 1st year of trumps presidency a report by the state of global air which is backed by several u. S. Universities ranks the u. S. As 8th best in the world in terms of particle pollution which is linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year under terms presidency more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed withdrawn or weakened most aimed at reducing air pollution and emissions some environmental watchdogs say these changes will increase Greenhouse Gas emissions by the end of the century cost the u. S. Economy hundreds of billions of dollars a year according to the Pew Research Center a majority of americans now believe that Climate Change is affecting their local area and a 3rd say its affecting them personally and are schapelle aljazeera. Well alan fischer is lying if the white house for us right now sal and from what ive been seeing and reading this is the 1st time that trump has delivered a speech devoted entirely to the environment what are we expecting him to say. But were not expecting any big initiatives what were expecting him to do is to draw a difference between the republicans and all saw the democrats the donald trump wars see that america has got the cleanest water in the world according to the latest survey it certainly among the top 8 in the world 8 countries share the top ranking when it comes to the water that goes through the taps and youll see they have the cleanest air in the world well theyre certainly in the top 5 for that the difficulty of course is that since donald trump became president the number of pollution days has increased over the last 2 years and there are more pollution days than there were under the 8 years of the Obama Administration what he has done is rule but many of the requirements that limited pollution from both power plants and all saw from cars this is all part of his idea of a ball of showing red tape of getting rid of restrictions that he says gets in the way of building a Strong Economy hell also talk about the democrats new green deal which of course was all about how they make the the planet sustainable while also reconfiguring the economy hes likely to see in this is a message of head a few times in the white house that the democrats want to buy cars cozen planes they dont want but certainly its a political message that resonates with Donald Trumps Political Base why is he doing this no well no one really knows theres a suggestion that this is being pushed on him by his daughter ivanka and his son in law jared because they want to be seen to be doing something about the economy but of course one of the big. Thing is that hines over donald trump is the fact that he pulled the United States out of the climate agreement saindon paris saying that it simply wasnt good enough for the u. S. He also suggested that Climate Change was a hoax perpetrated by china to damage the u. S. Economy so once you take those 2 starting points its certainly going to be a very interesting speech that well hear from donald trump in the white house within the next 30 minutes or so and a speech of course that we will bring you live here on aljazeera for the moment alan fischer at the white house thank you. Meanwhile in the north the northernmost u. S. State of alaska is sweltering in an unprecedented heat wave the extreme temperatures are putting more strain on the states class is already shrinking because of Climate Change will out as he was at a gallagher joins us live from anchorage in southern alaska just how bad is the situation andy well they say it wavers being going on for some time on friday we reported about more than 80 wildfires across the state which are exacerbated by the heat wave you can see how smoky the mountains are here behind me but its the glaciers in this state the iconic glaciers that so many people come here to visit are that are perhaps the most frightening indicator of just how fast things are changing and just walk global rising temperatures are doing to our planet. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot or the Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work to low as the stunning site of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rockets being here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it all kind of a limited show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is going to perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. But tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier if a decades and deck can david mazak joined a crew in 19971 tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Giant fires of ice they shot up like bunkers and they went up over 130 feet into the air. And on the flight to the glacier you had huge monoliths of ice like big walls of ice and they would come crashing down. Like. Many of the tourists that take the cruiser away a glacier is a disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance it can take me im going. We kind of have to find the best we can tear children if it is wasting away like this and they wont have anything here until a year take part that you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914 and the lake was just like right here and i look up it is it looks like its like 100 times bigger so. Somethings going researchers say the effects of Global Climate change can be reversed giving glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out. If there is a light at the end of the tunnel it is that if there is fundamental policy changes to reduce Carbon Emissions glaciers in places like alaska will incrementally and very slowly recover but that isnt happening under thiS Administration and in this state many officials are now wondering what to do if the summer has become longer and hotter as all indications are but the real effect here is that people are seeing changes which you wouldnt normally see over just a series in their lifetime not over centuries not over thousands of years but almost right in front of their eyes were still baking under a hot alaskan sun here but for many people watching these glaciers retreat back into the mountains is a frightening example of Global Climate change and if this state is a litmus test that it spells bad news for most of the planet andy and i cringe thinking. Head of irans revolutionary guard says the world knows tyrol is not pursuing a Nuclear Weapon the uns atomic war stock has confirmed iran has now surpassed the cap of enrich uranium allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal the European Union says its extremely concerned by the developments france is sending its top diplomatic adviser to iran would choose day to try to deescalate tensions between tehran and the United States washington has threatened further sanctions against iran which says it will continue to reduce its commitments under the deal until those sanctions are lifted. The u. K. Is adamant the seizure of an Iranian Oil Tanker is not a specific action against terror all the Foreign Office says the vessel was detained last week because it was carrying oil believed to be destined for syria and that would be in breach of sanctions in place since 2013 iran denies it was bound for syria and is demanding the time his Immediate Release lets get more now from aljazeera senior political analyst mala bashar hes with me here in the studio lets deal with this iranian oil. The rain is clearly very angry about it i think the defense minister has said the seizure will not be tolerated by awesome or not by without a response i think one of the Iranian Revolutionary guards commander said he threatened to seize a british ship in retaliation strong words but are we likely to see iran take any sort of action do you think. I doubt it but it would be fascinating if it happens i mean that would be the ultimate standstill in geopolitics where the iranians take on impound the british ship in the and the gulf while in gibraltar theres an iranian or impounded by the british. But i think for the time being what were seeing is a true impasse whereby britain of course under pressure but from the United States as well as from europe that wants to abide by the new could deal the United States does not want to british is trying to bridge between the 2 its not able because of the american pressure according to the spin it was the americans who gave the instructions to the british who then gave the instructions to the. Gibraltar to carry them on but what we hear also there is another narrative that gibraltar took the decision on its own and and longdon is only congratulating it and washington is congressional to be honest with you for this if i feel that no one is doing the truth or perhaps everyone is lying i should say about what happened so on the one hand iran is trying to ship and sell its oil and its not. Exactly transparent about it because of all the sanction regimes and so on and britain is doesnt really want to come out and say it is complicit with the United States against iran because as i said its thin within the european consensus on the question so i think were in the midst of a geo political mystery of sorts where everyone is lying or not telling the truth and in the meanwhile everyone is court of going or swimming i should say eyes wide shut 2 words a new crisis how then and its big question how is this particular crisis a Video Oil Tanker going to get resolved because i mean this is all caught up in legality as well absolutely and we heard earlier in one of our bulletins from an International Law time low expert and i think its not all there is not going to go to some kind of you know International Court or whatever i think this is geopolitics but excellence although there is a legal thing to it and of course thats what the brits are saying but even the europeans are in disagreement over how exactly to carry the sanctions and should or could the u. K. Take this on its own whether the ship is or is not in the gibraltar waters and just to remind your viewers around the world the gibraltar is this is 35000 british citizens in an entity in the south of spain so your brothers are really acting on its own in this that alone even britain probably not acting as on so what we see now is probably the french taking the initiative to try to help the United States and iran climb down the ladder or climb down the tree in order to bridge some sort of an understanding where also britain can slip in and free itself from this crisis because if this it goes on of course iran is not going to tolerate that not only internationally but for its own domestic public pressure its not going to be easy to get the u. K. Off the hook and for the tanker to remain impounded 2 weeks or more one as a thank you. Still ahead so on the program the u. N.

Give your cause me to thank you emerged from the president ial office surrounded by his 3 children having just been sworn in as Prime Minister hiS Administration he says will be dedicated to their generation he wants to rebuild Greek Society as a meritocracy where hard work and justice will bring opportunities for all that he says is the only way to stop the brain drain which has cost greece as many as 100000. 00 young people each year in recent years. Because. The greek people yesterday gave us a powerful mandate to change greece we should honor that mandate to the full today the hard work begins and i have complete faith in our abilities to do what needs to be done. To honor that mandate has promised a series of reforms that will attract investment boost growth and create jobs.

Aljazeera athens the u. S. President says he will no longer deal with the u. K. Ambassador in washington d. C. After he branded the trumpet ministration just functional and inept in memos leak to the media the British Government says it will launch an inquiry but the u. K. Foreign secretary has defended the ambassadors actions china has more. He holds a pivotal position in global diplomacy yet the words of the u. K. s ambassador to the United States kim darrick are anything but diplomatic leaving the British Government writhing in embarrassment and expressing its deep regret in leaked memos the Trump White House is described as uniquely dysfunctional clumsy and inept u. S. Policy on iran is incoherent chaotic the ambassador concludes we dont really believe thiS Administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable the Prime Ministers office said she disagreed with the content of the memos but foreign secretary jeremy hunt was keen to defend the eyes and ears of the government in foreign capitals of course i made it clear that i dont share the ambassadors assessment of either the Us Administration or relations with the Us Administration but i do defend his right to make that frank assessment and its very important that our diplomats all over the world continue to be able to do so. The leaks come just weeks after President Donald Trump and his family were fated with all the pomp and majesty of a state visit to the u. K. How easily all of that effort the unthinkable expense of it might now be squandered. There are concerns in the corridors of whitehall about the possible fallout for u. K. U. S. Relations ministers and Civil Servants here dont need a memo from washington to tell them the president from his rather better at making criticisms been receiving them to resume a has ordered. An inquiry to try and find the source of the leak with suggestions that criminal charges should apply i think its stream the seriously its serious because it fundamentally undermines the confidence that our envoys can have that the messages they send back will be kept private now that puts at risk the ability of the British Government to have the best possible advice of which to make policy decisions in relation to Foreign Affairs the ambassador may retain the Prime Ministers trust for now but she wont be Prime Minister for much longer to resume a successor will prioritize achieving breaks it and consequently the need to maintain the best relations possible with the United States very soon therefore london will likely be looking for a new ambassador in washington jonah how aljazeera.

Or is it the beauty of the place. Family and take you directly now to the white house they can see the u. S. President donald trump who is about to deliver what some see as a controversial speech touting hiS Administrations environmental achievements. Thank you. Thank you very much. Great to have you and i hope you all had a truly wonderful Independence Day weekend in spite of the heavy rain and it was really heavy we had a remarkable salute to america on the National Mall incredible for the standing on the steps of the Great Lincoln memorial and looking out on the crowds these incredible big beautiful crowds braving the weather all the way back to the Washington Monument we celebrated freedom and all of its magnificence while saluting our great military it was something really special and i will say this it was a wonderful day for all americans and based on its tremendous success were just making the decision and i think we can say weve made the decision to do it again next year and maybe we can say for the foreseeable thank you. Who as we celebrate our nations founding we are reminded once more of our profound obligation to protect americas extraordinary blessings for the next generation and many generations frankly to come among the heritage we must preserve as our countrys incredible natural splendor the bet is the shared obligation that brings us together today we have some incredibly talented people that know environment and what were doing probably better than any people on earth from day one my administration has made it a top priority to ensure that america has among the very clean ist air and cleanest water on the planet we want that cleanest air we want Crystal Clean water and thats what were doing and thats what were working on so hard for this afternoons event were pleased to be joined by secretary Steve Minucci steve thank you very much David Bernhardt david thank you secretary wilbur ross thank you over secretary alex as are alex great drug prices are coming down i see it. Proudly. Secretary Elaine Chao Elaine thank you administrator andrew wheeler. Andrew thank you. And chair of the council of Environmental Quality mary newmar thank you mary thank you very much in a few moments well hear an update on some of their very important work also with us are senators kevin kramer steve daines John Barrasso these are 3 great senators i might add perhaps im a little prejudiced because i like them very much but theyre great senators thank you one of the a and congressman Bruce Westerman and thank you bruce for being here appreciate it very much thank you all for being here the and as the cabinet secretaries will tell you from the very beginning i have given them clear direction to focus on addressing environmental challenges so we can provide the highest quality of life to all americans in addition to clean air and clean water that means being good stewards of our public lands prioritizing clean up of polluted lands that threaten our most vulnerable citizens and threaten them very dearly and implementing pro growth policies to unlock innovation and new technologies which improve American Life and americas environment so important these are incredible goals that everyone in this country should be able to rally behind and they have rallied behind and theyve really rallied behind in a very republican and democrat way i really think thats something that is bipartisan for years politicians told americans that a Strong Economy and a vibrant Energy Sector were incompatible with a healthy environment on other words one thing doesnt go with the other and thats wrong because were proving the exact opposite a Strong Economy is vile. Adult to maintaining a healthy environment when we innovate produce and grow were able to unleash technologies and processes that make the environment better while reassuring and so importantly you look at reshowing production all the way taking it away from foreign polluters and back to american soil the previoUs Administration waged a relentless war on American Energy we cant do that they sought to punish our workers our producers and manufacturers with ineffective global agreements that allowed the worlds worst polluting countries to continue their practices these radical plans would not make the world cleaner they would just make and put americans out of work and they put them out of work or rapidly they would have production to Foreign Countries with lower standards our companies were forced to do that and they didnt want to do that and they drive up the price of gas and electricity at home and drive it to levels that are literally unaffordable and by the way thats happening to many other countries but its not happening here other countries their pricing on electricity is so high not even to be affordable. At our level we are doing numbers that nobodys seen before nobody believes what what were doing and what were producing electricity and other things for punishing americans is never the right way to produce a better environment or a better economy weve rejected this failed approach and were seeing incredible results since the election we have created more than 6000000 new jobs nobody would have believed that i dont think anybody that a a bar would have said that during the campaign that wouldnt have been a pretty picture the next day as i read the headline. 6000000 new jobs unemployment has reached the lowest rate a half a century and we have more people working today that have ever worked in the history of our country were getting very close to a 160000000 people which is unthinkable if you go back 3 years and you said 160000000 people they would say unthinkable were locking American Energy in the United States is now a net exporter of clean affordable American Natural Gas were exporting roll over to a and today the United States is ranked listen to this number one in the world for access to clean Drinking Water ranked number one in the and one of the main messages of air pollution particularly bad or 6 times lower here. Then the global average so we hear so much about some countries and what everyone is doing were 6 times lower than the average its a tremendous number since 2000 our Nations Energy related Carbon Emissions of declined more than any other country on earth think of that emissions are projected to drop in 20192020 were doing a very tough job and not Everybody Knows it and thats one of the reasons were here today to speak to you every single one of the signatories to the Paris Climate Accord lags behind america in overall Emissions Reductions who would think that it is possible for this reason in my 1st year in office i withdrew the United States from the unfair ineffective and very very expensive Paris Climate Accord. Was. My administration is now revising the past administrations misguided regulations to better protect the environment and to protect our American Workers so importantly as an example there is a very good place for solar energy im a believer in solar energy it hasnt fully developed its got a long way to go but its really got a tremendous future at the United States does not have to sacrifice our own jobs to lead the world on the environment my administration set the new global standard for Environmental Protections with unprecedented provisions in the u. S. Mexico Canada Agreement commonly referred to as the u. S. M. C. A. Which includes the 1st ever provisions to take on the challenge of marine litter. Debris and im sure youve all seen by watching televisions by maybe reading about it tremendous problem thousands and thousands of tons of this debris flowed on to our shores afterwards dumped into the oceans by other countries the tides come to us usually that was a good thing but this isnt so good this is a tremendous problem thousands and thousands of tons of garbage comes to us where were focused on Practical Solutions more than 100. 00 democrats in congress now support the socalled Green New Deal. Their plan is estimated to cost our economy nearly 100. 00 trillion dollars a number unthinkable a number not affordable even in the best of times if you go 150 years from now and weve had Great Success thats not a number thats even. Thought to be affordable kill millions of us itll crush the dreams of the poorest americans and disproportionately harm minority communities i will not stand for we will defend the environment but we will also defend american sovereignty american prosperity and we will defend american jobs. Weve refocused the e. P. A. Back on its core mission and last year the agency completed more superfund has it is waist line ups than any year of the previoUs Administrations and set records at almost every year we have done tremendous work on super funds to name just 2 examples weve made Great Strides leaning up damage near a paper plant in kalamazoo michigan something that was beyond fix up they thought it was never going to happen and also the westlake landfill in missouri. This year weve also directed 65000000000. 00 in brownfield grants to clean up even more contaminated sites in 149. 00 American Communities think of that the vast majority home to lower income citizens at some crotchety that is some project and for the 1st time in nearly 30 years were in the process of strengthening national Drinking Water standards to protect Vulnerable Children from lead and copper exposure is something that has not been done and were doing it at the last month our e. P. A. Took the 1st major action nearly 2 decades to reduce exposure to lead contaminated dust i signed americas Water Infrastructure act along with these great gentleman right here we worked very hard on that very very hard it wasnt easy to further approve and improve Drinking Water infrastructure and support other critical projects arent ministration has directed over half a 1000000000. 00 to fix the lake okeechobee the Herbert Hoover dike i was out there 3 months ago with the your new great governor and senator actually from florida we had our 2 senators we had Rick Scott Marco Rubio and our great do governor run decentest were all out and we made a certain commitment and the commitment has already taken place and theyre fixed in the lake okeechobee people are very happy about it in the Florida Everglades where restoring the ecosystems in the everglades and i also side legislation authorizing 100000000 dollars to fight red tide a big problem that some people dont know about but when you do know about it that means trouble because. It is bad and. So youre listening to u. S. President donald trump speaking in the white house there saying that america is leading the world on Environmental Issues in what is his 1st speech devoted entirely to the environment since he took charge he says the u. S. Is ranked number one for access to clean Drinking Water and that energy Carbon Emissions have reduced dramatically since 2000 he says the u. S. Is doing better than all the signatories to the paris climate of course well lets see what Janet Reitman Climate Campaign director of greenpeace usa thinks of what the president has had to say she joins us now live from washington d. C. We quite short on time Janet Reitman so i just want your initial thoughts 1st of all on what youve been hearing so far absolutely i think as it was one can expect the kinds of things that president chavez pointing to are are ridiculous certainly he is not an environmental president he is in fact found in his presidency in talking about Energy Domination in rolling back massive numbers of protections for our health for our environment for families across this country its an incredibly a great just speech and its kind of shocking to listen to him brag about his record its interesting isnt it because he hasnt really mentioned anything about fossil fuel so much except to say that or a Strong Economy is vital to maintaining a healthy environment and that you know energy the Energy Sector sector has to 35 for the survival of the u. S. Is it fair to say that the that the groups like greenpeace have really gone before the fossil fuels and that from some peoples perspective in the u. S. The fight the president supports what he calls things like you know beautiful clean coal is a good thing. Well i think the fact that he would raise for example the gas export of gas across around the world was really clear from this president as he doesnt understand the impact of fossil fuels on our climate or doesnt care frankly and doesnt understand that the Energy Future is a clean Energy Future and that in fact is where job growth is right now in the United States and where we projected to be happening in the u. S. In the coming decades and in fact where it has to be if were going to address the Climate Crisis in a way that moves us off of a path toward a Climate Emergency to a climate destruction so right now what he didnt mention is that in fact Renewable Energy is cheaper than coal thats why were seeing a shift away from coal in fact clean energy is cheaper than gas in many places or is competitive with gas and in fact if it wasnt subsidized wed be shifting more toward wind power Renewable Energy so hes hes missing the mark on the economics hes missing the mark on where job growth could come from and frankly by. Talking about the Green New Deal as bad for jobs hes clearly misunderstanding what this economy needs and thats an fusion of investment in Clean Energy Jobs in Environmental Protection in real true access to clean air and clean water in communities that have been just invested from for decades like island michigan. And drop a few apologies but he does say hes a believer. That does have a great future and great prospects like us that something for you to cling on to. Sure believing in solar energy is one thing i believe in Climate Change is one thing the fact is Climate Change is happening so energy is happening its cost competitive so i dont really care if you believe it or not what i want to see is federal investment in solar energy and wind energy in provision of basic Services Like clean water he can talk about his belief all he wants but thats not actually putting money where these investments need to happen so that people in the America Cross america have to have Clean Energy Jobs have sustainable sector jobs and have clean water to drink. Why do you think hes making this big statement right now i mean we have much time but there is some suggestion that actually Climate Change Global Climate change is something that the voters really do care about now. Absolutely were seeing massive amounts of people coming out and pulling saying that Climate Change than the top of their agenda i expect that hes talking about this right now because its getting a lot of discussion in the democratic primary debates and conversations and in fact were about to enter into what we we talk about here in the United States is climate disaster season wildfire season Hurricane Season weve seen floods across the midwest so people are feeling on a daily level how Climate Change impacts them and you know that means that time has to has to reflect that has to address that and i think its trying to get out ahead of that john redmond really good to get your thoughts theyre all much speechless just by the u. S. President donald trump all divine but thanks for joining us to. Take it for a while have more of the days news for you in a couple minutes see thats going. Its my privilege to name Al Jazeera English the broadcaster of the year the country has a fight each other and weve been told that we constantly yes this is the largest demonstration thats been held by will direct your g. s since over 700000. 00 it why were seeing the some of the nicest rules of the fun be appalling to think of it could be but that is.

When my administration is now revising the past administrations misguided regulations to better protect the environment and to protect our American Workers so importantly the head of irans revolutionary guard says the world knows terror all is not pursuing a Nuclear Weapon the uns atomic watch talk is confirmed iran has now surpassed the cap of enrich uranium allowed under the 2015 Nuclear Deal France is sending its top diplomatic adviser to iran on choose say to try to deescalate tensions between tehran and the United States washington has threatened further sanctions against iran which says it will continue to reduce its commitments out of the deal until the sanctions are lifted.

E. O. Says he plans to invest a substantial amount of his salary buying the banks slighting shares and those are the latest headlines here on aljazeera coming up europes forbidden colony and theres more headlines in about 25 minutes of life. 2 2 so when did music stand place so that by the way you can put it on the audience or to the enter. Im organizing a big event that the biggest theater in this part of europe and we are marking the 4th anniversary of Julian Assange as political as i dont and i was happening at the same day today in berlin brussels belgrade paris naples madrid set imo these are older all the all the venues all our people think this case is not just about Julian Assange its about transparency its about democracy in europe. Are you nervous about speaking on stage how does this fit in with your normal life this is normal life. They should be. But dont philosophers just sit in the room and write for some of them tell me what you do sometimes they write books. But they also do this with both refugee and said you think youre a new kind of some of the city i dont have time to think about myself anymore and most of. The stuff will believe me a speaker im going to fuck is this people. Where do we get the how from this side begin to. Thank you. So as you know we are going to listen and to have a conversation with you major intellectual. Way here. So please welcome them both on state. Very hard to thank what they learnt from Julian Assange is that you have to be consistent maybe sometimes you have these temptation to feeling that youre not important that the powers are spiraling at last and laughing when we occupy us fair that they are laughing when we are in a public space but hello we have 2000 people here tonight in 8 cities at the same time hundreds of thousands watching the life stream and i think the more they kind of just sitting there on the right books even if you want to write about the refugee crisis you cannot do it if you didnt speak to a refugee for instance or if you are writing about the crisis of europe or solutions for europe i think you cannot do it if you dont speak with the people and i think we dont have time only to sit in the warm and write about it to be nice to work because this continent is collapsing thank you thank you thank. You. The financial crash of 2008 started in americas Housing Market but devastated europe as it lurched from sovereign debt crisis to it cannot be stopped nation. Unemployment of 25 percent in some countries led to social unrest and the continent suffered the worst terrorist attacks in years. And that was before over 1000000 refugees decided to walk the balkan route into europe. Often all this is discussed as forces of nature beyond our control but theres a philosopher look for their old cause what if they can only call ups refugees and terrorism are actually all caused by something more fundamental. Im going on a journey across europe in search of what for next the crazies tearing our continent apart. To saloniki norton greece if you just visited Central Square youd never guess this small charming city is at the epicenter of europes problems. In 2015 refugees fleeing war and poverty walked into europe sure the nearby village of evil mean. Germany said they would accept syrians but after more than a 1000000 people came europe panicked and sealed the border trip and also continued to come in for. Greece finally cleared the domine camp in may 2015 citing sanitation and safety. But thats not the whole story. Were heading towards a new refugee camp for the refugees from the many who are moved and were going to meet most of their. Most a face from aleppo and raced into many just as the border was closed. He spent 3 months there hoping and trying to cross before deltora this clear to camp and would you say are different dishes better here than in the domine like what. What was there there and what is better here yeah actually. Here is very plausible is. Its what tech tool from the song from from. For the 10th years a big. Bunch nobody knows how long were going to stay and we get there given off on formation i wonder how long. A long it takes for. This enormous you know. The face taking us back to domine to explain why the camp was clear. And this is something i wasnt expecting. A Motorway Service station transformed by those refusing the government camps. The services allow them to stay but at the same time doing Good Business charging them for showers. Now is 100 persons change the players are too so were full of chance and no no one now only me. Can you show us a bit how it looked like at the tracks. So refugees fence on all this place here right this one venue ice like full of dance. These tracks are the most important tool from greasy ports a crucial way for local companies and multinationals to get their goods into the heart of fuel. Theres a train coming. So when the tents were here at this place there were no trains coming but yeah because like for 2 months there is not true way to try many times to bring the 3 and ask people to open it and nobody will but its. Do you think the refugees represented the problem of all the free moving of goods and products there is a ministry he can come here and you see there. In the room with. The tribes with many we told them that your your weeks are not more on board and that our children. When you open the border. So youre blocking the trains deliberately you know that if you are blocking the way. You will and the greeks they will start to react. The greek Train Company oil seed told us they couldnt move goods for 75. 00 days costing them 20000000. 00 in lost shipping. I think is the best metaphor for whats happening in europe today in the sense that people refugees who are fleeing from war and from war zones such as syria but also going to stand in iraq became a problem why because were at the train track and they were blocking the train trip. So it became a problem for for the for a sions for also other countries not only greece because this way was blocked so on the one hand what you can see is the. Refugees dont have the rights to move freely on the other hand gords can move freely as far and as much as they want. But greece is subject to forces beyond its control. To Global Financial crash revealed that greece has taken out a mountain of loans from european banks. At the urging of european leaders europes Financial Institutions gave greece the biggest lonely in history. And most of that money flowed straight back to the mainly french and german banks who kept encourage them to borrow. But the loan conditions required extreme osteria to state spending cuts so severe that the economy shrunk by a quarter of unemployment reached 27 percent prompting a huge rises was. Another condition was must privatisation of all free. Yes including the strategically important port. It is one of the most important ports in the mediterranean and 3 simply the greek government has sold 67 percent of the shares to a Chinese Company called. The docks are quiet today the sell off has prompted a better with the unions they say the troika of the International Monetary fund the European Central bank and the European Commission are experimenting with a new kind of privatization. You would strike over the coming of the 20 days today were turned if they strike. The very going where going to trade unionists and me thinking since its an international you know trying to use me think they very much interested thing the paper they say sure that this news thing there they still ports which is quiet here in houston since theyre private i say even the Port Authority or at least city its fish features on the part of here knowing that this is the vietnam war getting their forecasts for the for the headquarters and it will be privatized the day after and this building weve been given to the costco. Because costco doesnt recognize unions the doctors fear they will go from being skilled employees with secure jobs to temporary workers with no rights. Can you explain what is the difference between the working conditions if the part of peters which is still old baby creek state park which is already all very forceful they are using a complex system of suffering thoughtless so there is no direct employment by costco. And precarious employment that means they work. 1215 days a month so there is no stable job for them there is no set in schemes of training professional or train show thats why there are frequent. Action then saying mr we know this maybe also this more that we subcontracting expanded to other ports in europe the last 6 years greece is an experiment for adroit kind in the liberal policies. What they are tasting here they tried to export it in other countries in the European Union. What we have seen in court today was is that the biggest historical achievements of the european project. Such as collective bargaining such a trade Union Organizing minimal wages all of this is actually disintegrating. Many blame the Chinese Company cost but im eating former greek finance minister yannis but a fact who has passed punishing inside information about europes part in the deal. Seems this is not working. Yeah this is. Amongst the 1st things i did in the ministry they one day to was to embark upon a. Kind of silent negotiation with the chinese authorities and with the costco c. E. O. And we agreed to collective bargaining and were allowing trade unions to present workers for other board if they were given the rest of the port secondly they agreed on a spectacular Investment Program of anything between 25300000000 euros within 18 months that would have been a fantastic injection of capital of activity of jobs in the port of the us and finally most importantly they would prepared the Chinese Government to contribute to contribute to purchase a bond a new bond that we would issue as a minister of finance up to 10000000000 so frankly that would help us return to the markets and create effective a signal to the rest of the world that this is back now i thought there was a very good deed and guess what happened there was a telephone call from berlin to beijing saying keep of greece while you were negotiating with them and all deals were off because of course china is not going to jeopardize its relationship with the heart of europe. In order to seal a deal with us. Currently the greek government is selling 67 percent of the part of the nose and under your deal it was supposed to be 51. 00 right yes all those things that we had negotiated the dragon made sure that were not part of the league just not want any european body from a country to even be to begin to imagine that if they voted People Like Us in they would get a better deal even for one person. Although hugely important for greece is only a tiny part of the 35 year program of privatization across europe. Sectors like railways energy cost banking and airlines were all part of the 1. 00 trillion dollars of public assets privatized 1008. 00. 100 Margaret Thatcher that led the charge for privatisation in europe. David hall has been studying the impact of it for over 30 years privatisation supposedly reduces prizes improve service and so on what has your experience and your studies it doesnt reduce prices and it usually doesnt improve services and in many cases it services worse. Thats the basis on which prostrations always sold but immediately people have experience a product as almost the 1st thing that happens is that prices go up prices go up because the private companies are taken over or in the business of restructuring it to generate. Returns that the Public Company didnt get. Which might explain why its usually made it Popular Resistance but its almost always forced through when you tell us well taking the referendum where clause promoting water privatization. The government tried to reintroduce that i left that Water Utilities in private. Why do you think that most of the governments in europe but also in latin america and the states still stick to this kind of economic model privatisations are seen as an easy way of getting large amounts of money into government so you can use it either true or to reduce taxes and thats half actually used and thats how again the going governments do it and thats how for example countries like greece are being instructed to use it by the i. M. F. This is this is this is the core purpose of proposition a great concept system generate revenue to reduce the debt. And once something is in private hands it is at the risk of takeover by larger often foreign companies. I mean romania there recently protested against water and held privatization but nothing seems to get them as worked up as their forests. Has been handed back to private owners theyve been heavily exploited by International Investment firms and european would processing companies. On the border to be transferred when hes one of the forest that has been decimated. Its be replaceable according to the lawyer representing forest owners who may now have the last intact through a forest landscape where the man has nothing to envy and least for a start. Today are they are not protected. How far away is it actually one hour or depend on. Their old one hour and a half day legal clear cutting mainly happens in remote places high up in the mountains. Romania was a colony of the get real name and now is the. In forest country do you see it with you again it would appear a failure for john. To relative poverty means cutting gangs can exploit forest country cant afford to protect. The sea well hes known for it oh yeah you see it. Here you can walk so this is it finally and. From here we dont see it. Its bigger and its what we can see here is completely illegal. Usually you are not allowed to cart to more than 300 or so forest you cut and how big is this approximately. 15200 pictures of forest and tired are gone and you know we need it now they are still cutting it they cut to every day since when did this start and what is the scale of this clear cutting in romania the big one its beginning after 20022003. That was the moment when theres company or ponder 1st factory. In our back on the Austrian Company whole stanch 543 are now romanias largest wood processor they dont cut the woods themselves but they are able to offer a relative fortune to those who will mostly this clear cut down by you know when young people the gang. These forests forged the documents and when they reached the factory they had some documents to show them didnt address picked any lower. But at the factory some didnt even need forged documents. Their own mental Investigation Agency posed as a cutting gang willing to ignore the law something that didnt present a problem for my. Little bit concerns me using rigidity fever that we have to reduce or be your least not what we get it from from our side. You decide what you want. We ask her for an interview but they declined so we turned to chance a green activist who has been. One of their employees a manager has admitted that if theyre on at full capacity theres no place for other processes on the market can you tell us once they end up in this factory where do they go this sawmill is actually slicing up the logs they make planks out of it and then they exported worldwide. China and japan arab countries even usa its a world market a main problem is the fact that theres not much left for us the added value happens somewhere douse the jobs happen so to say some white house all of this exploitation of nature is happening in romania but nothing stays here it actually goes to other countries right yeah you stay in this in this vicious circle ok of selling more and more resources at the price that is being. Created or fixed somewhat ouse outside of your country and yet you stay in a dependency of those resources and you destroy your nature and you destroy your livelihood. This makes me wonder whether we can speak about a new kind of relationship which is very similar to the relationship which we had during dol soon gagnon one of. You have them you have western europe all Soon Companies German Companies French Companies are cutting forests all around remaining in the pedophile. And then they are importing them to europe. And hes using the Natural Resources not only forest but Health Care System education water and they are expecting in order to sort the sensor. So could we say that europe is actually polarizing itself. Aargh. He lived in brazils largest for that. One day the police king. Like thousands of others he disappeared. Witness follows a familys epic struggle for justice which became a National Cause and sent shock waves through the upper echelons of the political establishment in the shadow of the hill on aljazeera. Hello im Barbara Starr in london with the top stories on aljazeera u. S. President donald trump has delivered a controversial speech tallying hiS Administrations environmental achievements trying claims america is quote leading the world on the issue of the spy contrary evidence by the Environmental Protection agency he claimed all the signatories of the paris climate agreement which he pulled out of are behind the United States in reducing emissions and called the deal unfair and ineffective were doing a very tough job and not Everybody Knows it and thats one of the reasons were here today to speak to you every single one of the signatories to the Paris Climate Accord lags behind america in overall Emissions Reductions who would think that its possible but this reason in my 1st year in office i withdrew the United States from the unfair ineffective and very very expensive Paris Climate Accord. The head of irans revolutionary guard says the world knows tehran is not pursuing a Nuclear Weapon the uns atomic watchdog has confirmed that iran has now surpassed the cap of enrich uranium allowed under the 2015 Nuclear Deal France is sending its top diplomatic adviser to iran on tuesday to try to deescalate tensions between tehran and the United States washington us threatened further sanctions against iran which says it will continue to reduce sick its commitments under the deal until the sanctions are lifted. The u. K. Is adamant that the seizure of an Iranian Oil Tanker in gibraltar is not a specific action against tehran the Foreign Office says the vessel was the plane last week because it was carrying oil believed to be destined for syria that would be in breach of sanctions in place since 2013 iran denies it was bound for syria and is the man being the tanker is Immediate Release a former congolese warlord has been found guilty of 18 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal court the charges relate to the ethnic conflict in the democratic republic of congo nearly 17 years ago boss contango gonda oversaw widespread attacks on civilians and recruited child soldiers the gander is now facing a possible life sentence those are the headlines europes forbidden connie continues next. 2 2 2 2 2 in part one we saw how the richest countries of europe are extracting the resources of smaller paratroop countries like greece and romania in what could be described as a colonial with. Its quite interesting to look back the 1st globalization the 8090 s. The late 19th century. Where you got a very similar picture of british french german. Companies. Investing around the world in. Some time with the same concept as christine was just as a starting not. Just as then the Companies Buying up the sectors have close links to the state like Energy Giants e. D. F. Owned by the french government and what in full on by sweden but its not limited to just European Companies and governments europe is also facilitating a colonization by larger forces. Sociologists and says fine and the abstract idea of making money from money is the real power in the world today. One way in which i would put it is that were really dealing with with a period that is dominated by a large of extract that is not the language they use it sounds much better if you say privatization and deregulation thats sounds like such a intelligent and and sober way to go about it when you say finance google and all kinds of other sectors are extract sect. That doesnt feel so good it feels like something is getting taken out of the Financial System it might as well be mining it has to go into other sectors and extract which makes it particularly dangerous unlike say more traditional forms of investment and corporate is that it can extract. Not just from the very rich but from anything including very modest step. Yet even dogs who once reported the free market are worried. You know centuries old the old also from gary an emperor former politician gosh but how much campaign for hunger is transition from communism to the free market. That he was 40 fight when that led to millions losing their jobs he puts this recent trend into Historical Context but the. The so this is the same continent as him without responsibility without the political project without the royal navy without the reduced raj without introducing this and that this is just sheer economic and barely growth force being applied. Without any kind of responsibility and any kind of. Idea about economy future whatever to the weak a conscience so basically i mean this is going to force them only listen because call only ways in many ways twice this is a politics of totally responsibility its cheating everything and everybody in the same manner maximizing profits and neglecting strategy. And you know this is not the code you know corrupt company or a little General Motors or the old standard oil that had some sort of policy that had some sort of construction that has been you know threshed out of the political for ideas and so on so forth these companies today didnt have any policy not even a wrong one not even an evil one they just want they just want the money. Much of that money flows through the city of london europes biggest financial center. But how long london will retain that position is im not his britain wall today in the referendum to leave the e. U. In june 2016. This utterly stunned the british and european establishment who blamed it on the economic laws or who they say are also in a fog. But britain was also the pioneer of privatisation in europe especially in places like poor tolbert in wales. The last surviving Blast Furnace of britains once mighty Steel Industry this facility was sold off in the eightys and is now owned by the indian giant. Periodical trade into pose so i wonder is it really immigration or economics behind bricks. The ratio of Us Immigration its not just a case of they come in over and say can i want jobs are jobs that theyve taken because people dont want to him anymore farmers will tell you our farmers cannot get people to go into a field and pick tater will pick sprouts or whatever it might be just because we come out of europe doesnt mean to say it was you know to solve the problem. Because if you still cant get people to pick the stripes or to pick the fruits then you know theyre people into doing. What is the importance and significance of the steel factory. And how it all could change if those would be there things on ordinary citizens for families and so i want well paul told bush to risk all the other downstream suppliers that weve got you know we dont trust road which is 50 mile down the road that has every single heins team in this country originates from ports over and is then tinned in trust to the effect in the economy of you all of sense where this could be symbiotic if anything happened to the knock on effect would be incredible you call it shops headdresses pichler stations self employed people you builders you carpenters all these people rely on the steel works because the people work if you feed them as well and if you water to remain. On the referendum. Youre going to get. Ill be honest i am very disillusioned with. The. Parliamentary processes that go on stage where. The closely just turn me off completely off i walk into walked. Into t. T. To play a bit where you know i think. Shop a great show thats where i. Am for a change as much as in the rocky play vandalism cheer. And people have nothing to lose. So it isnt the immigration theyre angry about but the colonial style extraction britain has practiced on itself for 35 years the efforts of which are all of us in marks hometown of tredegar which lost its steel mill in 2013. And all of this is now both permanent i dont know this but what was it before. It was fantasy to farai into things in a laundromat he was and how is this connected with the steel works because this is sansa i mean last 2 years people cant afford to buy the product so use the same system because now if you look around to see if i take away the trash that. This is the kind of place supposedly full of hatred for immigrants but it seems that resentment of foreigners has little to do with their anger at the e. U. In the pub i find out what the issue really is prepared for an economics lesson welsh style. In which all the new low in the liberal economic model full employment is now not of vital importance its fatal to communities like this where full employment and and industry were so important and the result is poverty crime and. And the only research in inequalities in which the neo litany are liberal never has or has caused one major issue the change youve got companies will be given countries so weve got a choice for that crossroads jew except that were going down a road of this neo liberal leaning neo liberalism is a myth of Global Corporations which then start to rule the world or were going to start going well actually no i cant be allowed to what we got to get back to is assets that a British Assets that the french assets the german a controlled by those states know the biggest freight. Company in this country is german all our Water Companies or electrical cars in the east are all foreign surely that cant be right their finger after a break ok want to be. Open to the dangers of globalization nearly burst a wall or Big Companies will still be hearing you have the opportunity for x. But they are way same with the arena well right this would really make a big big difference because they control it whatever. How can this colonial process of dispossession be taking place in such a massive scale without becoming headline news. Well this 21st century colonialism doesnt ride into town waving a National Flag he just seems to happen. But its actually the result of institutions and rules designed to be shipped and. Im going to try and unravel this beginning at the port of call if youre going to hurt. The socalled. Jungle. Which is a refugee camp in. Jungle is home to those trying to cross the 20 miles of sea between here and britain i was sitting between the french governments regular attempts to clear it at a time when its still growing. You can still see 3000 people here who are in a kind of limbaugh people from syria afghanistan africa iraq and all those countries from war zones on the other hand everything is being done to preserve the flea floating off. To your eternal connects britain to europe and covers over 100000000000. 00 of trade a year. Junkie is the director of public affairs. So while the channel tunnel carries a last live value the perishable the just in time components for manufacturing express deliveries the internet retail so companies can actually manage their stock in a constantly moving process that saves them from having warehousing saves them enormous costs and it means that they can have these integrated businesses that operate across the whole of europe. The pole area after the 5 kilometers is like this. Previously we had to the boundary fence sort of thing you see around any factory or any Industrial Site then. People started to try and break down the fences so the answer was increased the caller says these are the standard high security fences a very difficult cut very different crime so we now have a very sophisticated fencing and surveillance operation. And since october last year weve had no disruption from the migrant crisis so what about the refugees who came from syria from either mainly from we were actually also trying justify the better life their future problems is something which is a geopolitical issue so were were company in the business that operates between folks in culling were not we dont have a role a major role in solving the refugee crisis thats for Governments International institutions to move to manage we have a role a responsibility to our customers to our shareholders to our own staff and to anybody whos on our side. Euro tunnel security is now a seamless operation involving french and u. K. Forces a relationship established only after the company sued the government in a special for putting forth over questions as to exactly where that responsibility cut in and what how much was considerate on a share. And so. There was a case in the international proper tradition. In 2001 the 1st to set the record for the state of that responsibility. Obviously from the perspective of the company youre a title it makes sense to ask the course to be covered from the state because in the 1st place the state was responsible for the refugee crisis but its very interesting to see what is precisely the mechanism which is being used here in order to get the costs being covered by the state. Court of arbitration or to britain and france to pay your eternal 25000000. 00 for the cost of securing against migrants in the late ninetys. This is highly controversial song going to the heart of the e. U. Brussels to talk to someone who knows how the secret process this war. That court this part of the investor state dispute settlement mechanism known as the ice d. S. Which allows companies to sue states when their profits are dreadful. The whole point about the investor state dispute mechanism is that it runs outside the court system its about a special sort of law for big corporations i. Z. s is part of that if youre right i still say its part of the t. T. Ip so for most of the ordinary people if you mention something such as to tip. Their. Not understand what it is about ok with a tip is the transatlantic trade and Investment Partnership and its a major trade deal on the board being discussed now between the European Union and the United States it has all sorts of implications you know from the food you ate the medicines you take the vehicles that you drive the energy that you have Animal Welfare whether you want to keep genetically modified organisms out of your crops you know if the worst comes to the worst and some of the big corporations get what they want this really is a could be a potential real rollback of a lot of the very valuable legislation that a lot of people who over the years to get in the European Union. Followed by. Supporters on the other hand say that harmonization of regulations will grow the european economy by tens of billions of dollars a year. So i thought it would be sensible to see the document and gene agreed to take me to the reading room for members of the European Parliament its not open to the public in any sort of way. You only get access to the documents if the institution has documents they are gives you permission. Going. So if the United States says were not willing to let you see our documents you dont going to see that. Its taken a massive european wide Grassroots Campaign for a me piece to be allowed to see the text of the t. T. P. Agreement. And even now it was pulling hard to find. Thats thats the number that i was going to blow up there may be no where is that if youre already the living room yeah because what we were told was forcing some to the history thats not for. You know no ok. I came. Back they only got half instructions its opposite force the 17 ok lets show you that you get to go to the over there was. No its not that one line up at the top of that place then its you want to. Go you know movie go to the. Yes and no she says we cant film here because there was very little money what is this that if you. Know. He confirms it is there all the huge trade agreement is behind and find a bill unmarked door with a security keypad. Thanks as a minister of finance of greece of one of the Member States who was affected by these negotiations i had to sign a nondisclosure agreement promising that i would not reveal to my constituents to my voters that which i read if i was allowed to have a look at those negotiating documents this is preposterous and this is this is this is a v another moment of the democratic process representatives in a Representative Democracy keeping the de most of the opposite very present in complete darkness about what theyre saying on their behalf. So why all the secrecy we can leaks has exposed the t. T. P. And its siblings the Transpacific Partnership and a similar deal covering services so were going to wrest control in terms. For dorrian embassy in london he explains why we only know about disagreements from leaks. These big teeth 3 agreements Peter Beattie i think and p. P. P. Kept secret because otherwise theyre windrush democratic opposition the population and i wont be possible to negotiate you can come to conclusion i mean its pretty obvious what do they tell us about the new global order and what their deaths on democracy these are the most significant. Plan to reorder the legal and economic structure of the west and friends. At least since the construction of europe the nature of the agreements is a construction of a new legal and economic block or ultra neo liberal system which will which will cement culture near liberalism within your and a wide range of other countries in treaty form and treaties are very very hard to change because you need agreement of all the countries participating they treated change it so it is that the end of any other political project because only by violating the rule of law by tearing up these treaties that you agree to that in fact you can proceed in a different political direction i dont think this process could be described as colonialism as a new kind in a way of colonialism yes its a new multinational colonialism heinies. These trade agreements reveal hidden mechanisms to reach europe this on the one hand colonized by Multinational Companies and Financial Institutions and on the other hand colonizing itself. However these very same forces are behind a more traditional style of colonization which is not through trade agreements but for bombs and wars. The u. S. British and french air strikes against president at the half in libya in 2011 swept away a regime that was controlling migrant flows from africa into least huge amounts of weapons into an already unstable region. The females suggest the real reasons for francis involvement are less than humanitarian. Gadhafi had accumulated more than 143 tons of gold and was planning to use this to introduce. An african dyna as an alternative currency to the franc in francophone africa so this was a threat to French Colonial worst. Desires within the francophone countries. This reveals precisely how the refugees are linked to europes economic crisis apart from being some kind of a Natural Disaster as for or a flood it is europes colonial behavior abroad that forces them to make that dangerous journey. And carry a philosopher agnes heller has lived through a lot of european history including losing her father in auschwitz she says the refugees challenge europes core idea of itself. In. Order the end of 1st class situation of france to write to rights became lex lots of hurt in the constitution the right of man don and the right of the citizen drug to sit so i am the program yes now does that add in a conflict situation in iraq to do other men. And right would the basic goal of blank us to think or done a future yes because the ad indeed the men like us they are like asked the border with reason and conscience and he cut right to liberty there and to fear and to all kind of freedoms and to live just like us so we have to lead them in and they are the hand the inventors also the right of citizens in their country and is their citizens should decide who can and their territory or not this is the right told us it is at the 1st time in our history short of his started 200 years has led it is still current that the right of man and the right of his insistence or. Each other of course you Good Government can persuade a citizen to give priority to him and rights a bad government like us where is who is the citizen not to forget our job to my mates general. So maybe the danger they pose is not that one or even 2000000 people could overwhelm a continent of over 500000000 but because admitting we should provide for these fellow cubans would reveal how europes own citizens have been stripped of their resources and democracy by this financial colonization. And it is all to look at how the anger and frustration this generates is misplaced itself political on both sides. The spectrum. And search out some hope for europes future. We dont want the state involved because this is a. Movement of people in fact in charge of one here not from the right to do. 2 2 what went wrong in society that opened up the space for un peace ima get a ration is the European Parliament its not accountable and its impossible for the people to bear that is falling apart people dont want to take more than lead and if so find a stronger man or song woman who was getting the growth of rejectionism of this world because the model doesnt work europes forbidden colony episode 2 on aljazeera. Hello again or welcome back were here across the southern part of australia there are some big changes coming into play we do have a frontal boundary that is going to be sweeping across much of the by in the next couple of days and so what that means is well were going to see some clouds along the coast perth really not affected too much but by the time we get towards wednesday that system pushes through and for adelaide temperatures are coming down as well as some wet and windy conditions few there 14 degrees is our expected high but for said really not looking too bad as well as prince been attempt a few of 22 degrees well across the north in the south island into zealand we are going to see your your conditions really start to deteriorate as we go towards midweek the reason being is the system right here coming in off the tasman sea so for Christ Church expect to see more wet weather here on tuesday mostly in the evening pushing into wednesday afternoon as well auckland youll also see that weather most likely as we get towards wednesday evening as well there where across japan it is going to be dry towards the north but it is going to be rainy towards the south and we do not need any more rain here across parts of q sure that has one bed where the problems have been in terms of the flooding situation there it is going to be a wet day a 27. 00 degrees there and said diet 24. 00 but a nice day in sapporo with clear skies at 24 degrees for you. Aljazeera. Hello there im Barbara Sarah this is the aljazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes the u. S. Can fight pollution while promoting fossil fuels reaction to Donald Trumps controversial speech on hiS Administrations environmental policy by un Study Reveals that more people die as a result of murder rather than by Armed Conflict former congolese rebel leader abbas contact is found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity and could georgias Tourism Industry be in for a bumpy ride as a moscow ban on travelers from russia comes into it. We begin the news hour in the United States where President Donald Trump has touted hiS Administrations environmental record as leading the world in a speech at the White House Trump said america can fight pollution at the same time as promoting fossil fuels he says the u. S. Is doing better than every signatory to the 2016 Paris Climate Accord which he pulled out of but from speech contradicted evidence from the Environmental Protection agency and green groups have criticized the some of his comments as her fantasy were doing a very tough job and not Everybody Knows it and thats one of the reasons were here today to speak to you every single one of the signatories to the Paris Climate Accord legs behind america in overall Emissions Reductions who would think that its possible for this reason in my 1st year in office i withdrew the United States from the unfair ineffective and very very expensive Paris Climate Accord ok well lets get reaction to that speech lets start with alan fischer live in washington d. C. For a summit allan did he promise anything concrete did he say anything that we hadnt heard before. No there is nothing new in the speech atoll except donald trump patting himself on the back for his stewardship of the environment he says that america has the cleanest air in the world actually doesnt it is one of the cleanest but not the cleanest and says they have the cleanest water in the world one of the countries on the normal metric that is used to judge that right at the top there but he says things are Getting Better under his stewardship while its interesting to note that just in the last 2 years the number of bad air days thats with pollution in the year have actually increased particularly when you compare it to the 4 years before donald trump also says that the United States is doing better than any other country when it comes to cutting emissions and of course they have to start at much higher level because they are the worlds 2nd largest polluter he talked about the clean up of the oceans and getting the plastic out of there that is something that has been given bipartisan support but he and hes also talked about how hes built a Strong Economy with the lowest unemployment that was seen in 50 years while also building up energy but the e. P. A. His own Environmental Protection agency has reduced some of the guidelines on emissions not just for power plants but also for cars which many people will tell you will make air pollution much worse and the interesting thing is he never a tall addressed the question of Climate Change which hes done numerous times when he was running for president he called it in fact a hoax that it was something invented by the chinese to damage the u. S. Economy and many people including his own department of defense has said look Climate Change is a real threat to the Strategic Interests of the United States its going to cost theres a lot more money its going to cost is a lot more when were sending troops somewhere and therefore it has to be dealt with and its interesting to note 3 of the 5 most expensive hurricane to hit the United States have come in the last 2 years that of course is joining the Trump Presidency and allen and Climate Change and the environment in general have been a big topic with the democratic president ial candidates but when it comes to trump and his base how much does it impact home i mean why is he chose and to give this speech now. Well donald trump took this speech as a chance to slam the Obama Administration saying that they put too many restrictions on business and not lead to jobs not being produced as quickly as possible he slammed democrats in the house of representatives saying that their Green New Deal would cost jobs it would cost billions and billions of dollars which he said the country simply couldnt afford to do and he understands that climate is going to be a hot button topic during the Election Campaign but its never been something that republicans have been particularly strong on but were told he chose today to make this statement because he was under pressure from his daughter who is also a Senior Advisor and from his son in law also a Senior Advisor jerry commissioner and it was. Pushed donald trump not to pull out of the partys climate accord but of course that was one of the 1st things he did on the environment when he took over something he promised he would do as far as hes concerned of these bases concerned that is a promise made and promise delivered he will continue to talk about how the trumpet ministration produces the cleanest water Crystal Clear water sharp is also a word to use to describe water and the cleanest air he says thats important but all the factors all the metrics say that that is not quite the case and it needs a bit of manipulation to give donald trump the talking points that hes pushed forward in the last hour or so alan fischer with the latest there from the white house allan as always thank you were going to have more on this later in the news hour including from the u. S. State of alaska where rising temperatures are melting glass here is at the fastest rate in central plus the u. N. Says a growing number of syrian children are being killed in the fighting in rebel held the labor and sport kenya makes its case to become a destination for the worlds best rally drivers. But 1st the white house says President Trump has discussed the iran Nuclear Situation with his french counterpart and. The uns atomic watchdog meanwhile has confirmed that iran has now surpassed the cap in which the rainy im allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal or diplomatic editor james bays has more from washington d. C. Just hours after iran announced it was increasing the level of its uranium enrichment beyond that stipulated in the 2050 nuclear deal the us Vice President gave washingtons response iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. We will be the 1st with the United States of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region the iranians are unlikely to be cowed by that in fact the main audience for their announcement that they will now enrich uranium up to the level of 5 percent was probably european nations the e. U. Is still supportive of the nuclear deal and has been devising something called in stakes a work around mechanism that would allow iran to trade and to sell its oil to e. U. And other nations without them incurring u. S. Sanctions its trying to kick the europeans in their posterity or if i can put it that way europe has been very slow to find a way to continue to trade with iran that would not violate u. S. Sanctions that would somehow get around u. S. Sanctions the tense standoff between the u. S. And iran shows no sign of easing the situation is likely to be high on the agenda one of the important regional player comes to the white house. The emyr of qatar shake time in been hammered over. For me at the pentagon he leads a nation that hosts an airbase where thousands of u. S. Troops are stationed but at the same time his country maintains coryell relations with her own james 0 washington. The libyan warlord highly for half car is preparing a 2nd offense if to seize the capital tripoli his commanders are saying as many as 20000 fighters have been sent to strengthen forces in the countrys west have tar launched his 1st campaign to seize the libyan capital from the u. N. Recognize Government Back in april up to a 1000 people have been killed in fighting in the last 3 months but with a bit of a head has more now from tripoli. Have military commanders have recently declared what they call the 2nd phase of the military campaign to seize tripoli but on the ground there is no significant or measure advancement achieved by have to his forces on the ground it all the significant advancement or the only significant. Action on the ground is the. Oldest strikes launch of the have those forces targeting several locations in and around tripoli including the only operational airport in the city made to get airport and also the Migrant Detention Center last week which killed 53. 00 migrants and one did several dozens of others of migrants and refugees other than that there is no major advancement on the ground and the situation although remains very tense but have those forces declare that they are sending more troops to the front lines but on the other hand the Government Forces say that they have controlled many parts of the main highway the main highway linking. In the central desert of libya towards the city of the whole of the Major Military base would have to his forces after they lost the strategic city of. The United Nations is concerned about the growing number of children being killed in rebel held areas of syria over the past 3 months around a 100 civilian children have been killed in a glib and how many provinces the Syrian Government backed by russia has been waging an air campaign to win back the last opposition held territories so in a hoarder of reports. It seems planes never leave the skies over rebel held northwest syria. Oh. Thank us. Air strikes have been relentless so oh by the way its day 70 of the russian backed Syrian Government offensive the southern countryside of it live province and the northern countryside of Hama Province are battlegrounds. The bombardment has been intense and indiscriminate human Rights Groups say wide areas in populated neighborhoods have been attacked nowhere is safe. Civilians are dying. Rights groups say more than 500 have been killed more than 100 of them children since the beginning of air as unicef very bright. 14 children being killed even over the last 24 hours children have only. Been a very. Actual number of children killed like. The United Nations has repeatedly called on russia and turkey who sponsored a cease fire last year to revive the truce which collapsed at the end of april. President Vladimir Putin and russia tie a border guard spoke on friday and plan to hold a summit in august that will also involve iran apart from that there is no sign they are close to a deal that would deescalate tensions it live has become a bargaining card even between the countries that are supposed to be working together in syria. Instead their local allies are engaged in a proxy war but rebels backed by turkey are resisting because of the dance this has given the political leverage rescue workers find themselves digging through the rubble of flattened buildings every day if not every few hours. The muslim a few months own the campaign is being described as the most destructive against it live problems since the opposition to control in 2015 war monitors have recorded 46000 airstrikes and ground assaults. Parents are burying their children some of the more than one like this father who lost his 2nd son in the bombardment and many here say this is all happening as the International Community looks away senator beirut lets go back to our top story now and that is the u. S. President Donald Trumps speech on the environment which he gave at the white house about 2 hours ago and now lets speak to Janet Redmond Climate Campaign director of greenpeace usa she joins us live now from washington d. C. Madam welcome to aljazeera just a few points that i can bring out now from the speech he said hiS Administrations environmental record is leading in the world and donald trump also mentioned that america can fight pollution and at the same time promote focsle fuels what do you make of that common of those comments and of his speech in general. Well hes got it totally wrong obviously the u. S. Can be an environmental leader and in fact should be an environmental leader what he should have said was that theres no conflict between growing jobs and a renewable Energy Future the fossil fuel energy is an Energy System of the past and in fact we know we have to move past that if we want to deal and address the most egregious impacts of Climate Change which are seeing unfolding across the u. S. Right now impacting families every single day and were seeing roll out around the world so john jump is right we need it we need a huge Jobs Investment but its a Jobs Investment in the Clean Energy Economy. Hes got a big sign obviously of the Green New Deal he said it would cost the economy 100. 00 trillion dollars perhaps not a surprise that he he said it but what do you make of that statement. Well i think this is where hes got it all wrong obviously the Green New Deal is fundamentally a jobs program and its a reInvestment Program the thing about the Green New Deal is its not one piece of legislation right now its really an idea its a concept its its something that people across the country are excited about Climate Change is an issue that voters care deeply about polls have said time and time again increasingly the american electorate is very concerned about Climate Change and they want Real Solutions right now the Green New Deal is not going to be one piece of legislation that solves that but the pieces of the kinds of things that people are talking about in Green New Deal moving away from fossil fuels toward Renewal Energy investing in communities that have been disinvested in for decades making sure that no worker is left behind in that transition are essential parts of transitioning our overall economy to both a Clean Energy Economy but one that provides the basic necessities for people like clean water for people in flint michigan clean air for people who are living in the gulf south freedom from climate impacts people who are living in our gulf coast living coast around the country we already see that impacts unfolding across this country we need an a and an Ambitious Program thats really making the investments that say ok we recognize theres a Climate Emergency going on and we know theres incredible jobs potential if we address it head on. Into the Climate Emergency he didnt actually mention Climate Change in his speech but as you rightly point out it is something that the voters are tending to care more about is the years go by in the recent european elections we saw the green parties across the continent do quite well so if you think that thats something that could get him to change his mind or do you see any potential for him to perhaps take it more seriously if you thinks its going to get him votes. I think its all about the political political never in political will i think if we see more and more americans and we are right now coming out raising their voices about the impacts of Climate Change saying we demand a transition off of fossil fuels a responsible transition that leaves no one behind that is i think in fact why down time is making an environment speech right now because he recognizes were walking into the season of climate disasters here in the u. S. Wildfires weve already seen floods across the miss midwest Hurricane Season is on its way we know that people care about Climate Change and they care about it in particular when they feel it at home and when they see their friends and family and neighbors and fellow countrymen across the country dealing with climate impacts so my sense is hes trying to get out ahead of that right now and try to absorb some of that political will what i would say is we could keep we have to keep pushing we have to keep pushing on thiS Administration we have to keep pushing on the fossil fuel industry and of course we need to be pushing on the candidates who are running for election right now as well that some one of those people will be running against donald trump we need every single candidate every single politician every single political leader to be taking Climate Change seriously and to be talking about the responsible phase out of fossil fuels so we can move to 100 percent Clean Energy Economy janet redmon Climate Campaign director greenpeace usa madame thank you for sharing your views with us thank you. Now obviously international has criticized the crackdown on drugs in the philippines calling it a Systematic Campaign of killing the rights group wants the u. N.

X a goodish of killings should and the government should instead serve the filipinos according to Government Data more than 6000 people have been killed over the past 3 years an average of 6 every day but the Rights Groups believe the actual number is nearly 5 times higher for the last 3 years killings related to the war on drugs have mainly been in areas of the capital manila but Amnesty International says in its latest report there are now concentrated in the province of bullock on in northern philippines in every Police Operation documented by Amnesty International over the last few months the Group Says Police claim the use of deadly force was justified as the suspect for officers but in many cases witnesses contradict that it also says its found another disturbing pattern Police Commanders who previously held posts in what was once considered the deadliest region for drug war killings metro manila have been promoted to senior roles in bullock on an extrajudicial killings there or what Amnesty International calls e. G. Case have since risen sharply. I mean. The war on drugs. Including the commission of crimes under International Law. Established the fact that. The big step toward ensuring justice were going to have army deter just government has this business amnesties with port and he says Police Operations will continue to be relentless and deadly Amnesty International is politicizing the socalled extrajudicial killings in this country Amnesty International is not the only group to investigate on the governments socalled drug war but almost all are gun is asians have the same appeal human rights investigators are calling on the government to revise its antidrug policies and make those responsible accountable they also say the International Community has not acted swiftly enough we just emboldened many members in government to impose a wider crackdown on independent media rights investigators and political activists.

C. C. Successful conviction is a step forward and that some justice is better than no justice in a region where people responsible for atrocities are rarely held to account malcolm webb aljazeera Nairobi Kenya. Well more people are actually killed at the hands of other people than they are by on the conflict thats according to a new study by the United Nations nearly half a 1000000 people died from whole sidle violence in 2017 thats more than 5 times the number killed in conflict over the same period the most dangerous region in the world is the americans with the highest killing rates in honduras el salvador and venezuela europe and asia with the safest areas with china japan and germany topping the list of all the homo side rate has increased over the past 25 years the actual global rate has the climbed when measured against population growth but reynolds has more now from the United Nations there are an estimated 465000 homicides worldwide in 2017 according to a un report that was released on monday the region with the highest rate of homicides was the americas with 173000 killings or 17. 00 per 100000 people and the individual countries within that region that were worst off include honduras el salvador jamaica and venezuela those countries had more than 40 murders per 100001 the other hand the countries least likely to see homicides were japan china and most of western europe outside of france and the u. K. Which had just slightly higher rates but in most of western europe and in china and japan the rate is less than one homicide per 100000. 00 there were 87000. 00 women killed in the year 2017 according to the report and the vast majority of them the report says were killed by intimate partners or family members finally the report sidestepped any criticism of the united stay. Its in its lax gun laws as a contributing factor to the high homicide rates in countries like mexico the Central American countries and jamaica according to the Us Government however the reports that were given by agencies in the u. S. In 2016 said that 70 percent of the guns seized by authorities in mexico and jamaica originated in the United States in quantum allah and in el salvador the number of guns seized by authorities there were almost 50 percent made in the United States so that includes powerful firearms in colluding military style assault weapons which are readily available in gun shops and gun fairs in many United States areas which a ponzi though is that the rector of the just security 2020 program and a senior fellow at the Stimson Center he joins us live now from washington so welcome to our 1st of all your reaction to the study by the United Nations. Thank you yes this very disturbing report shows that latin america particularly some of its largest cities faces a chronic Public Security crisis this in spite of relatively modern Economic Growth over the last decade having somewhat robust democracies we continue to see crime grown especially the murder rates at a clip of around 10 percent 4 percent per annum over the last decade some related Research Shows that 43. 00 of the largest 50 cities in the world with high murder rates and then 15 of the largest 20 countries with high home aside all rates are all beat based in latin america so its no surprise then that the citizens of mexico Central America south america rate issues of Violent Crime at the top of their list of concerns its really important to compare it with other regions where america having about 17 percent 100000 homicides 100000 people at a rate of 3 times less is the global average and if a region is populous as asia its only 2. 00 people per 100000. But so in light of that what do you think the International Community especially you know wealthier countries in the western hemisphere could do to try to change the situation in latin america because as you mentioned these are countries that actually have seen yes some modest but some Economic Growth so the 2 things dont seem to correlate that much. Well as you noted in the report alongside the un report the un report avoids criticism of weapons suppliers into the region and we know that upwards of 50 percent of these 2 major Central American countries that suffer significant criminal violence. And one doris in that was cited 70 percent in mexico are receiving weapons from the United States now stemming the flow of guns from other countries outside the region thats not going to solve the problem its very much about stronger rule of law institutions harder going to be competent state courts but also Community Oriented policing where citizens feel they have a level of trust and will reach out and work with the police in fighting especially criminal violence so in gangs which are so prevalent in the area youve highlighted from the report Central America to extricate gang members young men from these gangs its going to take much more than simple law and order measures its going to require broad based economic and social planning giving them educational of course but even livelihood opportunities to woo them away from Gang Violence fortunately in major American Cities Rio De Janeiro brazil and colombia weve seen the benefits of comprehensive development approaches to drive down violence in those major cities a lot of the people who come from these countries seeking asylum in the United States claim that you know say the lack of security is one of the if not the main reason for which theyve left so i light of that how do you think the 2 relate and would it i mean i guess it probably wouldnt change u. S. Policy but how do you think it might impact all of raise awareness of this issue both in the u. S. And around the world. The un report highlights the linkages between criminal gangs and violence especially organized crime about one 5th of homicides worldwide are linked to organized crime that as you noted earlier is. Commensurate to the level of Political Violence as well as terrorist activity so its on such a scale it really puts things in perspective that it needs to be addressed and as customs and Border Agents in the United States on the southern border well know others involved with the refugee situation on the border of the United States and mexico understand the push factor of criminal violence from Central America so much to do with criminal Gang Violence so getting that under control but as i noted earlier not simply through simple law and order measures but through developmental programming giving them other opportunities to find livelihoods and not be brought into the vicious circle of Gang Violence this is the only long Term Solution richard director of the just security 2020 program thank you for having joined us thank you still to come in this news hour.

The term precrime comes from this movie a minority report in which a prediction is made about something in the individual has not yet done but is going through and a preemptive arrest is made of someone before they perform that act if you would have asked me 37 years ago if we would have gunshot detection or video cameras in neighborhoods or be able to predict what crimes occur i would have said youre crazy precrime coming soon on al jazeera from cutting it medical technology. Could be a vast resource the development of lifesaving. Go to advances in the most difficult regions if you will receive. Something good and not the worst because youve heard of such. An Innovative Solution Health Care Problem you need to give a good review all the latest word get it through the song to cure. Disease. Welcome back heres a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera the u. S. President has touted hiS Administrations environmental record as a leading the world dont trump says america is doing better than every signatory to the 2016 Paris Climate Accord which he pulled out of. He was president has the scars the iran Nuclear Situation with his french counterpart in mind when mccrone the uns atomic watchdog has confirmed that iran is now surpassed the capital which the rainy im allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal and the libyan warlord honey for half dollar is preparing a 2nd offensive to seize the capital tripoli his commanders a say as many as 20000. 00 fighters have been sent to strengthen forces in the west. Returning to our top story now president obamas speech on the environment while green groups have criticized some of this comments as utter fantasy meanwhile in the northernmost u. S. State of alaska extreme temperatures are putting more strain on the regions glass here is already shrinking because of Climate Change its go live to and the gallagher now whos at anchorage in southern alaska well i can see the sun blazing behind you how on seasonal or how normal are the temperatures that youre seeing now well almost on a daily basis was seeing record temperatures that are breaking previous records that have been held for more than a 100 years you can see behind me how misty the mountains are thats because theres Something Like 80 wildfires across the state that is not helped by this extreme heat that alaska has experienced at the moment but perhaps more of a scary indication of just how fast the climate here is changing is that recession of the glaciers that people here as seeing an environmentalist say is a real warning for the entire planet. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot for Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work below is the stunning site of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rock thats been here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it all kind of a limited show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier has gone and perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. The tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier for decades and deckhand david mazak joined a crew in 19971 tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Joyent buyers advice to shut up like bankers. They went up over 130 feet into the air. And on the flight to declare you sure you had a huge bottle was. Like big balls of oyster they would come crashing down. Like this many of the tourists that take the cruiser away a glacier is a disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance it can take me kindly me cheering. With kind of pacifying the best we can carry children and if it is wasting away like this then they wont have anything to actually hear take part and yeah you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914 and the lake was just like right here and now look how big it is and looks like its like 100 times bigger so. Something is going researchers say the effects of Global Climate change can be reversed giving glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out. If there is a light at the end of the tunnel it is if there were a fundamental policy change to reduce Carbon Emissions climatologists say if that does happen these glaciers will begin to incrementally recover over the next few basin in this very and environmental outdoors state that this is what theyre living with in their daily lives not only are alaskans baking under unprecedented heat theyre also watching some of the most beautiful structure has a receding back to where they came from and the gallagher with the latest from anchorage in alaska thank you. The u. S. President says he will no longer deal with the u. K. Ambassador in washington d. C. After the latter brand of the trumpet ministration dysfunctional and the left in memos leaked to the media the British Government says it will launch an inquiry but the u. K. Foreign secretary is the fended the ambassadors actions jonah ho has more. He holds a pivotal position in global diplomacy yet the words of the u. K. s ambassador to the United States kim darrick are anything but diplomatic leaving the British Government writhing in embarrassment and expressing its deep regret in leaked memos the Trump White House is described as uniquely dysfunctional clumsy and inept u. S. Policy on iran is incoherent chaotic the ambassador concludes we dont really believe thiS Administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable the Prime Ministers office said she disagreed with the content of the memos but foreign secretary jeremy hunt was keen to defend the eyes and ears of the government in foreign capitals of course i made it clear that i dont share the ambassadors assessment of either the Us Administration or relations with the Us Administration but i do defend his right to make that frank assessment very important that our diplomats all over the world continue to be able to do so. Police come just weeks after President Donald Trump and his family were fated with all the pomp and majesty of a state visit to the u. K. How easily all of that effort the unthinkable expense of it might now be squandered. There are concerns in the corridors of whitehall about the possible fallout for u. K. U. S. Relations ministers and Civil Servants here dont need a memo from washington to tell them the president from his rather better at making criticisms been receiving them to resume a has ordered an inquiry to. Try and find the source of the leak with suggestions that criminal charges should apply i think its 3 me seriously its serious because it fundamentally undermines the confidence that our envoys can have that the method is based and back will be kept private now that puts at risk the ability of the British Government to have the best possible advice of which to make policy decisions russian Foreign Affairs the ambassador may retain the Prime Ministers trust for now but she wont be Prime Minister for much longer to resume a successor will prioritize achieving breaks it and consequently the need to maintain the best relations possible with the United States very soon therefore london will likely be looking for a new ambassador in washington jonah aljazeera. Greeces new Prime Minister.

From monday russians will no longer be able to fly to georgia the ban imposed by president putin follows recent anti russian protests in the capital tbilisi but the move could cost the georgian economy in particular the Tourism Industry robin forester walker reports now from the Mountain Resort of. Russians will no longer be able to fly direct to georgia from july the 8th. That take the wind out of the sails of georgias Tourism Industry. Who guides like gere are trying to stay upbeat. Or. If the number of russian tourists go down. There are a lot of other visitors from other countries so were going to just adopt. The flight ban is moscows response to russian demonstrations in the capital tbilisi protesters were infuriated by georgias parliament inviting Russian Politicians to visit demonstrators accuse their governments of collaborating with the enemy Russian Troops continue to occupy 20 percent of georgian territory its breakaway region and south. Now were hearing georgia had this place called the arch of modern man the friendship between georgia and russia so in reality colonialism communism and conflicts have all too often defined relations between the 2 countries though georgia has a special place in the hearts of Many Russians. We love georgia was so happy to be him. Nearly one and a half 1000000 russians who are ists came to georgia last year thats around 20 percent of the total number of visitors georgias National Bank estimates that fewer russian tourists could cost the economy as much as 300000000 dollars this year and there may be worse to come russian tourists are coming for exactly this kind of experience being the great tourist. The beauty of the place. But georgian wine exports may be next on russias banned list russian officials talk of tightening controls on georgian food and beverages russia is a major market its very difficult to quantify the impact of the tourism ban or even the ban on flights and potentially the ban on wine and vegetables and fruits thats going to be difficult to quantify in terms of g. D. P. Impact but what i think we cant quantify is the number of people who are going to be affected the number of people is going to be tremendously high its going to be at least half the population. Of. The rest right. Thats because more than huff of georges population works in tourism and agriculture.

Missions were much higher than they have been in previous years its the 1st time theyve gone up in a long time and also the number of pollution days where the particles in the year are polluted theyve increased as well over the last 2 years during Donald Trumps presidency now its also important to note that he says well hes ruled but regulation that hasnt impacted the economy and in fact isnt impacting the environment that would be disputed by a number of environmental groups who say he is a green gaslighting a lot of people by suggesting that something isnt what it is that it isnt as good as he says it is that are real problems with the the way that he is as marshalling the environment so it was a very or divan really almost out of the blue but obviously something that donald trump wanted to do but as a see the figures that have come out but typically over pollution and particularly over emissions dont fully support what hes trying to push here in the last few years allan i guess since the last election in 2016 the Climate Change and the environment have become more prominent issues not just in the u. S. But in many of the countries in the world so is this why hes bringing it up now because even though his views have been quite clear from the start and presumably appeal to his base things might be changing. Well its interesting that more americans know believe that there is a thing such as Climate Change and youll know that donald trump during the Election Campaign before he was elected president said that Climate Change was a hoax that was started by china to undermine the u. S. Economy but more americans believe its true a 3rd of them believe that its actually impacting them if you look at just some of the storms weve had in the 2 years since donald trump became president 3 of the 5 most expensive part of kanes of hit in the time scale and that fits in with what hes been told by numerous organizations in the u. S. But also his own department of defense who said look Climate Change is a threat to the u. S. National interest it is going to cause problems because people will start to move because of lack of water because of this as difficult and that means that well have to put troops into these areas and we know that the white house isnt terribly keen on talking about Climate Change because when the state Department Committee went to the house they were told to change the language because it didnt fit in with what was coming out of the white house this is going to be a big topic in the next election donald trump just trying to get ahead of it by saying look what a great job hes doing alan fischer with the latest there from the white house allan thank you. Meanwhile the northernmost u. S. State of alaska is sweltering in an unprecedented heat wave the extreme temperatures are putting more strain on the states glassiness already shrinking because of Climate Change and thats motivating some tourists to see them now before they completely disappear and the gallagher reports now from Portage Valley in alaska. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot the Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work below is the stunning site of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rock thats been here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it all kind of a limit to show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is going is perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. The tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier for decades and decades and david mazak joined the crew in 19971 tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Giant fires of ice shot up like bunkers and they went up over 130 feet into the air. On the flight to the glacier. You had a huge bottle was. Like big walls of oyster they would come crashing down. Like. Many of the tourists that take the cruiser away glaciers are disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance it can treat me kindly nature. Would kind of have to find the best we can tear children and if it is wasting away like this then they wont have anything until until a year take part and yeah you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914 and the lake was just like writing there and now look how big it is and looks like its like 100 times bigger so. Something is going to researchers say the effects of Global Climate change can be reversed getting glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out and the gallacher aljazeera Portage Valley alaska.

Piece of farmer who was born and bred here is raising cattle now on what was the main source of water for the sugar cultural region. Culture has died theres no water im raising a few animals but its becoming too expensive to truck in the water. Hes not wrong farmers all over are being forced to sell their livestock and their land. To drought which is now in its 10th year is a phenomena thats here to stay quoting to experts in a new report issued by the university of chile it blames the growing demand for increasingly scarce Water Resources on large Fruit Exporters but above all on Climate Change theres drought is just as visible above ground than on the surface and underneath at this time of year the Andes Mountains should have been covered with snow which in turn in the spring melts and fills the rivers and the lagoon but with the deficit of rain now an 80 percent these mountains now just had a little bit of salt sprinkled on the top. Chilies populated capital as well as the bad but i use a region could be left without Drinking Water by 2030 according to the report but there are ways to avoid disaster one of them is to stop losing water that flows from these rivers straight into the Pacific Ocean that would require dams just as is the need to build more red.

Russians will no longer be able to fly direct to georgia from july the 8th. That take the wind out of the sails of georgias Tourism Industry. Who guides like a trying to stay upbeat. Or. If the number of russian tourists go down there are a lot of other visitors from other countries so were going to just adopt. The flight ban is moscows response to russian demonstrations in the capital tbilisi protesters were infuriated by georgias parliament inviting Russian Politicians to visit demonstrators accuse their governments of collaborating with the enemy Russian Troops continue to occupy 20 percent of georgian territory its breakaway region and south ossetia.

Liberia has one of the highest Maternal Mortality rates in the world. It is estimated that 3 women die every day from complications during childbirth. Many of these days are preventable with simple surgery and adequate equipment however a chronic lack of doctors here means that many maternity wards are overstretched and im not stopped im down to the limits again in liberia and im here to meet a new generation of midwives was scrubbing up and ready for surgery. My 1st stop to see me done moments and to hospital in melbourne county which has only recently overcome the devastating in the demick that killed thousands across the country. The midwives and doctors here were it 30 times greater risk of content to the disease than the general population. That afternoon just to undertake and this is only one of many 10 inches that dr albert dont know and his team face i want just not publish obs of all system 5000 right now i have 3 permanent doctors so you have. 3 prominent doctors you want to include i mean our continue here for the 5000. 00 range people out of traditional doctors are known to do such a walk so we realize that middle level people get big tree you know talk to our system of feeling you know some of the gaps are currently were training midlevel courses to do a bass of that. Its a simple but dreaded can idea to replicate asco midwives in advanced obstetrics such as up to now surgery go to dollars a miss to target this area entry midwives and months rather than the years nominees required to become a qualified doctor for new trainees have recently been rolled at the hospital and the dollar runs workshops to advance their general medical knowledge but today is more hands on as the trainees practice suturing a key surgical skill required in syrian sections. So this would be the end of the skin of their demand ok so youve gone through the no one side here and now you went to do ahead of time the hand and what not does that now its just like and its a surgical no. Need of make sure that its tight when youre doing through drawing a deep hole you actually put your finger on this one and the president will go to follow through in sol goes in with. The trainees also continue with their usual duties such as would rant with today 16 you know mary has just been admitted. The smallest choice here i want to do is the assistance to yeah this is where she was sent on the ward and then she had been there this morning to send her you know that she was in the room. So with whats happening now with the patient its one of the most common pregnancy complications where you have the head of the baby is very big and the focus is a. Touch and go through labor for 810 hours as.

No statement for us to its new all for the team to try and resuscitate them so i just couldnt bear to watch and do nothing. To think that they. So many other kids who dont make it you know if you day and its just really i just i caught up the monthly sort of. A. Conditions introduction hospital make an extremely challenging piece to buy that only adds weight to the incredible job at hand and the team of. Emergency every manic i would take action if your professionalism not a bit of a rally you work in a hospital everybody have to see the light of complacent so we have to wait to get a a call make it together as a team and the last government report liberia had only 117 practicing doctors just defeated Health Care System has been supported by the us like.

See back light in a healthy i photo receptors in the retina converts light into electro chemical impulses that are sent through the optic nerve and into the brain condition such as retinitis pigmentosa can stop the photoreceptors from working properly. The argus 2 bypasses these damaged fossil receptors using a miniature video camera that sits on the patients glasses this camera sense wireless signals via a video processing unit to an implant which has been surgically placed on the damaged retina the implant then emits small pulses of electricity which travel along the optic nerve to the brain which learns to interpret these pulses as visual patterns when you begin patients do not understand what theyre saying is not official vision so they have to out with paper at the bottom of the light we send them because its not the vision we have but what will you still. Love morning. During the surgery dr murray will pin the electrode to the back of the arm which in turn will be attached to an aerial that will wrap around the i had a real its being anchored to the outside of that i am white its just being anchored here on the attendance of the model it wont be seen when you look at the behind behind.

To weeks after the surgery fred has recovered enough to have the device turned on for the 1st time jessica nice to meet you excited about today. Yes a little bit from what we did yes what do you hope to achieve this afternoon i hope. That i see your face ok. So you are as well you are well good looking. Well you were feared class with the camera ok recording transmits the data to the cable through the feed you and if you sense it back to the call. I think you would be a video processing unit or Something Else yes. You know to turn off. All. Right. Just. Lets turn to the. Room. I think i. Cannot show you what but she and her colleagues friends brain has to learn to process this as if you touch it and that will take time so you just try to live and you will see and hear on the screen theres an approximation of what the camera just said im going to move around for and. I see myself on the computer. He sees the peaks but this gives us a list overworked of what it means to my brain so i thought. You know its been asleep for a while its time to wake up. A huge part of the process for fred is to practice with a device so that his brain can learn to understand the signals its receiving 4 months after it was 1st switched on im excited to see how hes getting on and i think ive prayed. For months exactly almost yes indeed it has a bit you want you want to know what happened all the time. When we were going home at home i said all the trees that i dove to were really out of the tree last question although i dont rush out and at home and when we put on the light in our house also ready i see all the lights.

How can you just not straight dont follow the line yeah asking. Me. Very quick its a pyramid and its really. Frightening just seen a pyramid a few months ago you saw thing and i speak to Mission Control ok thanks. To our friends brain will continue to learn to process the signals so theres no knowing how much inside will improve and at the same time scientists are developing the technology and software involved for people who have been living in darkness for so long the potential impact of this is enormous. Thank. You. One of the last remaining ancient forests in Southeast Asia is a lifeline to hundreds of lumber jacks and drive as. We follow that treacherous journey as they walk through a stream conditioned. To gather and transport this dangerous but precious cargo risking it all. On aljazeera. This is al jazeera. Hello from doha everyone im come all sons of maria and this is the news hour from aljazeera. Thats called serves counts and. Guilty of sexual slavery as a worker the former congolese warlord boss going to go on there is convicted by the International Criminal court for directing the rape and murder of thousands. Punishing americans is never the right way to produce a better environment or a better economy also in the News Donald Trump telling his record on the environment as well as slamming the Paris Climate Accord again but experts are sounding the alarm about the impact of Climate Change on the glasses in the northernmost u. S. State and tears for the innocent as the u. N. Raises the alarm at the rising number of child casualties in syria. Hello everyone a former kong warlord nicknamed the terminator has been found guilty of atrocities including murder rape and conscripting child soldiers pasko in 2nd convicted by the International Criminal court on 18 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity i relate to the ethnic conflict in democratic republic of congo in the 17 years ago well discuss this in a moment starting with this report from markham where we. Go into gun has been in armed groups since 998 when he was 17 years old. Prosecutors the International Criminal court accused him of committing atrocities during conflict in the democratic republic of congo in 20022003 hes been found guilty of all 18 counts who was crimes and crimes against humanity with which he was charged escorts and scamp. Guilty of murder a scrying against humanity as. To guilty of murder as a war crime and finally as consonance count 18 guilty of destroying the. As a war crime is that a gun you may sit down the charges included murder rape conscripting child soldiers and sexual in slave and during conflict in congos it turi province judges detail the massacre of at least 49 people in a banana field behind a village and the children who had been december all had their heads crushed on to ganders orders. Thousands of civilians were killed by militia connected to the hammer and lendu ethnic groups but the armed groups are widely seen to be partners or proxies of the government of congo uganda and rwanda i dont think that hes there obviously the biggest fish to be paid. And that has been its the same and that has been levied against the International Community its supposed to trade bearing the greatest responsibility. You took 17 years when crimes were committed for the i. C. C. To eventually convict and to go. And violence in a tory problems hasnt stopped dozens of being killed and thousands of fled to neighboring uganda following fighting in the last few weeks but other rights activists say the i. C. C. Successful conviction is a step forward and that some justice is better than no justice in the region where people responsible for atrocities are rarely held to account malcolm webb aljazeera Nairobi Kenya. As i said were going to discuss this with the former convenor of the coalition for the International Criminal court is on skype from new york pleasure to have you with us i guess we can look at the success of this conviction in a couple of ways the 1st way is for the actual people of democratic republic of Congo Justice takes a while but it does come. Thats correct or National Justice which began again from the nuremberg it took 40 years break and we started in the 1990 s. But the yugoslav monroe want to tribunals its very slow its much better if nation state laws can be enforced with their own judicial systems but unfortunately in many of these countries they dont that kind of judicial systems or the laws to be able to find crimes against humanity against their own nationals and more crimes against their own nationals so this is an important additional step now where interNational Justice is addressing terfel worst crimes in International Law and hopefully the thousands of victims that are part of this trial there were 2000 victims participating in the in the procedures of over 100 witnesses they will have a sense of justice and hopefully the tens and hundreds of thousands that havent been able to get justice for the crimes committed against them will see some hope in the future proceed surely what actually happens next what happens to bosco and think on that and what happens to his case. Well the rome statute for the International Criminal court is one of the most highly developed integrated. Laws truck tribunals which is integrated all the high principles of the major legal system so the defense are right to appeal the decision the prosecution has the right to the appeal the decision there are very strict. Provisions on sentencing of so this will continue. Going forward to try and reach justice and try and as your report mentioned this was crimes committed 17 years ago into gondo was in his late twentys as a commander in his thirtys he was a congo general he turned himself in to the u. S. Embassy and come golly because he was was the only way he was going to survive and asked the u. S. Government which opposed the court to transfer him to a hate which they arranged to do so it is an extraordinary. Development its also an incident and then its a condition where its was not an international Armed Conflict but an internal Armed Conflict where. The provisions of the of the court are in force. The court itself correct me if im wrong on any of these numbers but as i have it 34 indictments over the years. And have actually gone to investigation 5 trials and up until today only 2 convictions on the face of it that doesnt sound like a good record however if thats just the way it works the fact that as we pointed out in our 1st question it is a long game it is a slow process to conviction thats the that is the case and the 1st 2 major tribunals like the yugoslav in rwanda tribunals both dealt with one situation each of the sierra leone tribunals or tribunal one situation where as the International Law. Court which is the only permanent International Criminal court force in humanitarian law has 2021 countries situations that it is having formal investigation or preliminary examination so the i. C. C. Is having to deal with situations in the middle east and asia and africa Eastern Europe the former soviet union europe so it is a much more complex challenge that the i. C. C. Is facing and i and it has even less resources than some of the special tribunals that even though its doing 1020 times the work when times we appreciate your time and your expertise on this topic thank you youre welcome. To other news and france is sending its top diplomatic advisor to iran on tuesday to try to deescalate tension between tehran and washington thats after iran of course announced it was breaching the limits on uranium enrichment it was agreed in the 2015 nuclear deal at diplomatic editor james bays with more now from washington. Just hours after iran announced it was increasing the level of its uranium enrichment beyond that stipulated in the 2050 nuclear deal the u. S. Vice president gave washingtons response iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. We would be the 1st with the United States of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region the iranians are unlikely to be cowed by that in fact the main audience for their announcement that they will now enrich uranium up to the level of 5 percent was probably european nations the e. U. Is still supportive of the nuclear deal and has been devising something called instax a work around mechanism that would allow iran to trade and to sell its oil to e. U. And other nations without them incurring u. S. Sanctions its trying to kick the europeans in their posterity or if i can put it that way europe has been very slow to find a way to continue to trade with iran that would not violate u. S. Sanctions that would somehow get around u. S. Sanctions the tense standoff between the u. S. And iran shows no sign of easing the situation is likely to be high on the agenda one of the important regional player comes to the white house.

Meanwhile britain says the seizure of an Iranian Oil Tanker in gibraltar was not a specific action against iran the Foreign Office says the tank is being held because it was carrying oil believed to be destined to syria which is in breach of sanctions that are been in place since 2013 irans foreign minister zarif denies the tanker was bound for syria though and is demanding its Immediate Release. But libyan warlord holy for have to respond here in a 2nd offensive to seize the capital tripoli his commanders say as many as 20000 fighters have been sent to strengthen forces in western libya after launched its 1st campaign in april to seize tripoli from the un recognized government the u.

Action on the ground is there there are strikes launch of there have to his forces targeting several locations in and around tripoli including the only operational airport in the city made to get airport and also the Migrant Detention Center last week which killed 53 migrants and one did several dozens of others of migrants and refugees other than that there is no major advancement on the ground and the situation although only means it very tense have to his forces declare that they are sending more troops to the front lines but on the other hand the Government Forces say that they have controlled many parts of the main highway the main highway linking.

But the u. S. President has talked up what he calls his environmental leadership in a speech at the white house donald trump says the environment a top priority for us is Administration Even as it rolls back protections alan fischer with this report from washington. On a day an unusually strong summer storm blew through washington donald trump talked about his stewardship of the environment my administration has made it a top priority to ensure that america is among the very cleanest air and cleanest water on the planet before he became president he refused to accept overwhelming Scientific Evidence about Climate Change a hoax he called it created by the chinese to harm the u. S. Economy once elected one of the 1st things he did on the environment withdraw the us from the 2016 paris climate agreement and in turn bullish it to limit global temperature rises he says the us the worlds 2nd biggest polluter is doing a remarkable job all in it so every single one of the signatories to the paris lie. Record lags behind america in overall Emissions Reductions even as he started revoking Environmental Protection laws he insisted he couldnt get in the way of a stronger economy but data from his own Environmental Protection agency shows the number of bad air days jumped 20 percent in 2017 the 1st year of trumps presidency report by the state of global air thats backed by several u. S. Universities ranks the u. S. Is the best in the world in terms of particle pollution something linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year and under trumps presidency more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed with drawn or weakened most of them into reducing pollution and emissions this speech this event didnt leave any new plans or proposals by donald trump for the environment which is surprising given that climate is likely to be one of the hot topics in the next president ial election some environmental watchdogs see Donald Trumps actions are actually increasing Greenhouse Gas emissions and damaging the environment but you really clear from this president he doesnt understand the impact of fossil fuels on our climate or doesnt care frankly and doesnt understand that the Energy Future is a clean Energy Future several u. S. Government agencies have warned the long term impact is a threat to u. S. Strategic interests. For example 3 of the 5 most expensive hurricanes have hit the u. S. In the past 2 years a cost of billions of dollars to the u. S. Economy and the pattern likely to be repeated especially as a new report suggests a majority of americans know believe that Climate Change is affecting their local area and a 3rd say its affecting them personally alan fischer aljazeera the white house. So a few hours ago on aljazeera before the president s speech hanna suffered joined us she is a researcher at the university of california Davis Policy Institute for Energy Environment and the economy and look shes back with us now on skype from davis california hanna thanks for coming back you feeling any different about the trumpet ministration the environment after hearing that speech you know that speech is basically exactly what we expected the speech was triggered by polling showing that Climate Change and the environment are being i mean increasingly important issue for voters and so the german ministration is starting to feel some pressure to demonstrate what theyre doing to be and are not cause is the problem though is that theyre not doing that much to invent environmental causes and so we used in that speech was the president taking credit for environmental accomplishments that were triggered by things that happened before isnt it strange things that have happened in spite of him not because it yeah such as legislation to protect water in the area that was passed in the seventys and eightys and also actions that were implemented by the Obama Administration to try to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions and protect and by other means i was reading a little bit of the Fact Checking that often goes after a trump speech. Hed said that the u. S. Has the best Water Quality in the world and actually that was true but then you have these high profile cases like flint michigan which has been going on for so long and has never been addressed. Well certainly i mean one of the things about the United States being such a large country is that cant make a blanket statement that says that the United States has the best Water Quality in the world what Water Quality are you looking at certainly you can point to some parts of the United States especially those that are protected metro cant get to that have clean water and then there are other parts that dont one of the biggest problems which i think ministration has been that youve been accuses where you cant roll back legislation you can certainly decrease in or cement at it so the clean water act and Clean Air Act are 2 seminal pieces environmental legislation in the United States are still on the buttocks but the german ministrations not doing a whole lot to enforce those and without embarrassment the lies dont you know the biggest thing that the Top Administration obviously has done is to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord we can revisit that any number of times and point out the fact that everyone else is still on board but the u. S. Isnt doing almost need to move beyond that now except the fact that this the u. S. Is out of it the world has to carry on without the United States under that particular accord and move all of us to well one thing that i mentioned when i was on a few hours ago is that even though the president has now asked his intention to withdraw of United States earths climate agreement that actually cant he act until after the 2020 us president ial election so a lot hinges on that if we see a different president take over and the champion ministration then we you know that president will reverse and tension and will keep the United States in paris a crowd i mean agreement for the long term in the meantime while champ is still in awe and not knowing whether or not hell win reelection in office for another 4 years its critically important that other countries assume the time of climate leadership and that the private sector other influential entities that are not the better u. S. Government to get that big time pressed here in the u. S. As well how to 7 youve been very generous with your time for us today on aljazeera and we thank you for that its been a pleasure. To an environmental extreme now the northern most us state were talking alaska here which is sweltering in an unprecedented heat wave the temperatures are melting glasses which are already shrinking because of Climate Change and we have got Andy Gallagher in Anchorage Alaska for us looks beautiful behind you there and the but i mean an unprecedented heat wave in alaska is that the biggest indicator of Climate Change there welcome all of this causing a lot of problems this is unprecedented in many ways lots of heat records have been broken over the last few days since weve been here but perhaps the most frightening example of just how fast the climate is changing here this states iconic glaciers. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot for Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work below as the stunning sight of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rock puts being here to tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it all kind of a limit to show the rate of change a transformation researches say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is going to perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. The tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier if a decades and deck can david mazak joined the crew in 19971 tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Giant fires of ice they shot up like bunkers and they went up over 130 feet into the air. And on the flight to the glacier you had huge monoliths of ice like big walls of ice and they would come crashing down. Like. Many of the tourists that take the cruiser away a glacier is a disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance and cant find any. We kind of have the best we can carry children and if it is wasting away like this and they wont have anything to really. Take part and you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914. 00 and the lake was just like writing there and i look up it is and theres like its like a 100 times bigger so. Somethings gone researchers say the effects of Global Climate change can be reversed giving glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out. And the why dont we talk more about what you just mentioned at the end their solutions actually trying to contain the problem is that realistic well not under this Current Administration but if there is a light at the end of the tunnel it is if there is radical policy change that would reduce Carbon Emissions that climatologist it was featured in that report was telling is if that was the case if those kinds of policies were not to then glaciers like the Portage Place you could incrementally start to grow back again but clearly thats not going to happen in the time that President Donald Trump is in office but the reality for people here in alaska is they are living with this every day and this is not these are not the vents measured in decades or even hundreds or thousands of years these are local people youve talked to that wondering why the summers here are getting hotter and longer why there are so many wildfires and why ultimately one of the most beautiful things you can see in this state and now disappearing thank you Andy Gallagher from Anchorage Alaska. Central chile meanwhile is enduring its worst drought in 60 years and that includes the capital santiago home to nearly half the countrys population of 18000000 people and experts are predicting water shortages will become permanent because of Climate Change and pressure from agriculture a latin america editor is this year newman she has more from intially. 77 little use to run a successful Small Business growing and selling tomatoes on this plot of land. But a long drought in Central Chile has dried up her livelihood as well as her plants. This was my band aid we does d b 7 metres of water which was enough to irrigate my plans twice now its totally dry. And so is the nearby. 4 years ago it looked like this. Piece of farmer who was born and bred here is raising cattle now on what was the main source of water for the shagger cultural region. Theres no water im raising a few animals but its becoming too expensive to truck in the water its a disaster. Hes not wrong farmers all over being forced to sell their livestock and their land. To drought which is now in its 10th year is a phenomena thats here to stay quoting to experts in a new report issued by the university of chile it blames the growing demand for increasingly scarce Water Resources on large Fruit Exporters but above all on Climate Change theres drought is just as visible above ground than on the surface and underneath at this time of year the Andes Mountains should have been covered with snow which in turn in the spring melts and fills the rivers and the legal ins but with the deficit of rain now an 80 percent these mountains now look as though they just had a little bit of salt sprinkled on the top. Chilies paul. Related capital santiago as well as the bad but i use the region could be left without Drinking Water by 2030 according to the report but there are ways to avoid disaster one of them is to stop losing water that flows from these rivers straight into the Pacific Ocean that would require dams just as is the need to build more reservoirs before having to resort to large scale to sell in a zation of chiles long Pacific Ocean coastline water expert philip in my 15 says theres a severe infrastructure deficit. There women but unfortunately a reservoir takes 17 to 20 years to build while the hospital takes maybe for yes the new hospital benefits those who are sick today but we arent seeing the illness that the country as a whole could suffer from the lack of investment in infrastructure. The government has in fact announced it will build at least 20 new reservoirs. It wont be soon enough though for east have a little who instead of growing and selling vegetables is now cycling off to clean houses to make a living to see a newman.

And the source of the leak with suggestions that criminal charges should apply i think its 3 me serious and its serious because it fundamentally undermines the confidence that our envoys can have that the messages they send back will be kept private now that puts at risk the ability of the British Government to have the best possible advice of which to make policy decisions in relation to Foreign Affairs the ambassador may retain the Prime Ministers trust for now but she wont be Prime Minister for much longer to resume a successor will prioritize achieving breaks it and consequently the need to maintain the best relations possible with the United States very soon therefore london will likely be looking for a new ambassador in washington jonah how aljazeera the u.

Dogon al jazeera and there are. Now more people worldwide and who die in conflicts this is coming from a new study by the United Nations really half a 1000000 people died from homicidal violence and 2017 that is more than 5 times the number killed an Armed Conflict in the same year the most dangerous region in the world is the americas the highest murder rates there they are in honduras el salvador and venezuela europe and asia were considered the safest continents china japan and germany topping the list although the homicide rate has increased over the past 25 years the actual global right has declined when you measure it against population growth more on this from rob reynolds at the United Nations. There are an estimated 465000 homicides worldwide in 2017 according to a un report that was released on monday the region with the highest rate of homicides was the americas with 173000 killings or 17. 00 per 100000 people in the individual countries within that region that were worst off include honduras el salvador jamaica and venezuela those countries had more than 40 murders per 100001 the other hand the country is least likely to see homicides were japan china and most of western europe outside of france and the u. K. Which had just slightly higher rates but in most of western europe and in china and japan the rate is less than one homicide per 100000. 00 there were 87000. 00 women killed in the year 2017 according to the report and the vast majority of them the report says were killed by intimate partners or family members finally the report sidestepped any criticism of the United States and its lax gun laws as a contributing factor to the high homicide rates in countries like mexico the Central American countries and jamaica according to the Us Government however the reports that were given by agencies in the u. S. In 2016 said that 70 percent of the guns seized by authorities in mexico and jamaica originated in the United States in quantum allah and in el salvador the m number of guns seized by authorities there were almost 50 percent made in the United States so that includes powerful firearms in colluding military style assault weapons.

Just hours after iran announced it was increasing the level of its uranium enrichment beyond that stipulated in the 2050 nuclear deal the us Vice President gave washingtons response iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. Weve been the 1st with the United States of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region the iranians are unlikely to be cowed by that in fact the main audience for their announcement that they will now enrich uranium up to the level of 5 percent was probably european nations the e. U. Is still supportive of the nuclear deal and has been devising something called instax a work around mechanism that would allow iran to trade and to sell its oil to e. U. And other nations without them incurring u. S. Sanctions its trying to kick the europeans in their posterity or if i can put it that way europe has been very slow to find a way to continue to trade with iran that would not violate u. S.

Talks between the taliban and afghan leaders have ended with a promise to reduce civilian casualties in afghanistan to 0 the 2 day event is expected to lead to more formal binding discussions with the Afghan Government shall a bell as was their.

Ones together from all walks of life. And just in 2 days we heard this joint statement i think its said to be success and it is a good news for all the afghans and good news that we are as a nation. Who saw this long lasting issue the delegates from the skirt told me that they got to the point where they were able to put forth a unified statement because they talked about what they had in common and a lot of that came down to suffering when my friend. Was mistakenly killed by saudi troops. You might be in was this somebody that they see any 2 sons all that was in the school and yes the. One that. Young boys of. 72 years or that. This. They were also. Quite emotional from both sides the taliban and also people from the afghan delegation as they talked about their suffering but also their hopes for afghanistan Going Forward now they also say that they want to make this actionable and legally binding yes they were promises but they want the Afghan Government involved this hope that Going Forward that this was a good 1st step a positive optimistic 1st step to take it to the next level where this is legally binding and both groups the Afghan Government and the taliban are in the same room libyan warlord honey for hafter is preparing a 2nd offensive to seize the capital tripoli his commanders say as many as 20000. 00 fighters have been sent to strengthen the forces in western libya after launch his 1st campaign in april trying to seize tripoli from the un recognized government the u. N. Security council is calling on the warning signs to commit to a cease fire the latest from tripoli now with mahmoud up the way. I have to as a military commanders have recently declared what they call the 2nd phase of the military campaign to seize tripoli but on the ground there is no significant or measure advancement achieved by have to his forces on the ground it all the significant advancement or the only significant. Action on the ground is there there are strikes launches where have to his forces targeting several locations in and around tripoli including the only operational airport in the city made to get airport and also the Migrant Detention Center last week which killed 53 migrants and one did several dozens of others of migrants and refugees other than that there is no major advancement on the ground and the situation although remains very tense but have those forces declare that they are sending more troops to the front lines but on the other hand the Government Forces say that they have controlled many parts of the main highway the main highway linking.

The uns human rights chief says she is appalled by the conditions that migrants and refugees face in u. S. Detention facilities near its southern border Michelle Bachelet says children stopped by Border Agents should never be held in detention facilities or separated from their families Rights Groups of complain that many children have no access to showers and were big detained long past the maximum of 72 hours and since december 5 children have died in Border Patrol custody. She has made it very clear that several un human rights bodies have found that the detention of Migrant Children may constitute cruel inhuman or degrading treatment thats prohibited by International Law and she also made it clear that any deprivation of liberty of adult migrants and refugees should be a measure of last resort lets check in with returns in washington the words of strong coming from the u. N. Human rights boss that can you tell us and tell your audience more about the actual conditions that these children are facing. Well we dont actually have to rely anymore on activists and whistleblowers as i was about those conditions we can now rely on the department of homeland securitys own Inspector General we got that report last week and these are some of the lowlights cells with a Maximum Capacity of 35 holding a 155 detainees detainees wearing soiled clothing for days or weeks children of the age of children rather having no access to showers most single adults dont have access to showers for months perhaps standing room only conditions for weeks and so on so it goes on and on but what was interesting about that Inspector Generals report was it made it clear that this wasnt some oversight this wasnt because of a lack of resources this was policy that is really key sentence that the customs and Border Patrol say they recognize they have a humanitarian issue but believe if they do not have a consequence Delivery System either prosecution or ice detention the flow will increase to the point is this is about that terence its about making conditions so bad that people dont make the journey and we should be very clear this is been a longstanding u. S. Government policy is often the case with trump hes building on a framework that was built by barack obama is. In 20152016 we had a big influx of Central American migrants women and children in the main so he ramped up family detention and the conditions were so awful that the American Civil Liberties union sued and it soon came became clear that the reason why those crews was awful was the good because the Obama Administration wanted to have a deterrent effect to stop the flow but these are the details of the a. C. L. U. Lawsuit against president obama the people who are being held quote in freezing overcrowded filthy cells for extended periods of time no access to bed so showers adequate meals and water medical care and lawyers in violation of constitutional standards and Border Patrols and policies sounds familiar so i mean thats that is how the u. S. Government president obama President Trump have been dealing with migration as often is the case trump has gone much. And also of course theres another reason this is very good for trumps base 2020 he wants to be seen as tough on immigrants and in fact even better lets words on the un being against him might even help him in that exam look i mean the un is against us i must be doing something right his base will cheer ship returns with that update from washington thank you she had in the news ahead the u. K. s ambassador in washington could soon be shunned by u. S. Officials. After his controversial memos about President Trump will make that and the headlines in a moment.

President has been talking up what he calls his environmental leadership in a speech at the white house donald trump says the environment is a top priority for his that ministration even as it rolls back Environmental Protections alan fischer with this report from washington. On a day an unusually strong summer storm blew through washington donald trump talked about his stewardship of the environment my administration has made it a top priority to ensure that america has among the very cleanest air and cleanest water on the planet before he became president he refused to accept overwhelming Scientific Evidence about Climate Change a hoax he called it created by the chinese to harm the u. S. Economy once elected one of the 1st things he did on the environment withdraw the us from the 2016 paris climate agree. An International Initiative to limit global temperature rises he says the u. S. The worlds 2nd biggest polluter is doing a remarkable job all on its own every single one of the signatories to the Paris Climate Accord lags behind america in overall Emissions Reductions even as he started revoking Environmental Protection laws he insisted he couldnt get in the way of a stronger economy but data from his own Environmental Protection agency shows the number of bad air days jumped 20 percent in 2017 the 1st year of trumps presidency a report by the state of global air thats backed by several u. S. Universities ranks the u. S. Is the best in the world in terms of particle pollution something linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year and under trumps presidency more than 80 environmental rules and regulations have been repealed what drawn or weakened most of them aimed at reducing your pollution and emissions this speech this event didnt lay out any new plans or proposals by donald trump for the environment which is surprising given that climate is likely to be one of the hot topics in the next president ial election. Some environmental watchdogs see Donald Trumps actions but actually increasing Greenhouse Gas emissions and damaging the environment but you really clear from this president he doesnt understand the impact of fossil fuels on our climate or doesnt care frankly and doesnt understand that the Energy Future is a clean Energy Future several u. S. Government agencies have warned the long term impact is a threat to u. S. Strategic interests. For example 3 of the 5 most expensive hurricanes have hit the u. S. In the past 2 years a cost of billions of dollars to the u. S. Economy and the pattern likely to be repeated especially as a new report suggests a majority of americans know believe that Climate Change is affecting their local area and the 3rd thing its affecting them personally alan fischer aljazeera the white house to an environmental extreme now that is the northernmost us state of alaska which is sweltering in an unprecedented heat wave the temperatures are melting glassy is that are already shrinking because of Climate Change lets go to Anchorage Alaska and there are still that view behind you is just stunning and the summertime obviously there but still this is unprecedented the amount of heat youre getting there yeah and this heat is causing major problems across the state theres more than 80 wildfires at the moment which is perhaps why the mountains behind me are slightly misty its receded a little bit in the last few hours but the heat wave is a sign of longer hotter summers thats what all the analysis is pointing towards but it is perhaps this states most iconic feature glaciers that are showing the most terrifying Climate Change. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot for Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work below as the stunning sight of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rock puts being here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it all kind of a limit to show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising global temperature is one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is gone is perhaps this building it was constructed in 1986 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. Tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier for decades and deck can david mazak join the crew in 19971 tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Giant fires of ice they shot up like bunkers and they went up over 130 feet into the air. And on the flight to the glacier you had huge monoliths of ice like big walls of ice and they would come crashing down. Like. Many of the tourists that take the cruiser away a glacier is a disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance and cant find any. We kind of have the best we can tell our children if it is wasting away like this and they wont have anything. That you showed us a picture a while ago i think it was 914 and the lake was just like right here and i look up it is it looks like its like 100 times bigger so. Some. Researchers say the effects of Global Climate change can be reversed giving glaciers the chance to slowly recover but time is running out. And the Obvious Solutions to this or is it more about containing the issue well its not like deforestation where you can plant new trees and see them grow back this is something that is tens of thousands if not many years older but climatologists tell us there is there is a ray of hope but only with radical policy change thats clearly not going to happen under President Trump but time is really running out normal alaskans more than perhaps any other state and living with Climate Change on a day to day basis not only are we baking in the hot sun here surrounded by smoke from wildfires but perhaps some of the states most beautiful features these glaciers a shrinking back to where they came from. Gallacher in the summer sunshine of alaska thank you randy. So much trump says his officials will no longer deal with the British Ambassador in washington may remember over the weekend a leak of confidential memos from kim diracs showed how he had branded the u. S. President S Administration dysfunctional and inept so london has ordered an inquiry into the lake as jonah hill reports. He holds a pivotal position in global diplomacy yet the words of the u. K. s ambassador to the United States kim darrick are anything but diplomatic leaving the British Government writhing in embarrassment and expressing its deep regret in leaked memos the Trump White House is described as uniquely dysfunctional clumsy and inept u. S. Policy on iran is incoherent chaotic the ambassador concludes we dont really believe thiS Administration is going to become substantially more normal less dysfunctional less unpredictable the Prime Ministers office said she disagreed with the content of the memos but foreign secretary jeremy hunt was keen to defend the eyes and ears of the government in foreign capitals of course i made it clear that i dont share the ambassadors assessment of either the Us Administration or relations with the Us Administration but i do defend his right to make that frank assessment and its very important that our diplomats all over the world continue to be able to do so. The leaks come just weeks after President Donald Trump and his family were fated with all the pomp and majesty of a state visit to the u. K.

Defiant iran says its exceeded its uranium enrichment cap but european signatories to the new deal say terror and should stick to its commitments so wasnt sentence are they providing and can europe save the agreement this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im mr a iran is fed up with just talking and once action thats the islamic republics message to the remaining signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal particularly the europeans tehrans warning that its ready to act more decisively on its commitments under the agreement iran has already passed the 3. 67 percent uranium enrichment cap set by the pact and couldnt reach even higher levels possibly upping them every 60 days but the country has said its actions are reversible if the signatories fulfill their obligations and that its open to talks dosage of our reports from tehran. A diplomatic advisor to french president emmanuel micron will be making his way to attack iran in the coming days thats according to Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman now this comes just as iran has announced that its scaling back its commitment further to the Nuclear Agreement and theyve given the european signatories another 60 days for them to respond to irans concerns the Foreign Ministry spokesman are both mousavi has said that the next 60 days will be critical for the european signatories of the nuclear deal to show that they are seriously committed to it their spokesman also said that iran is not going to count on anyone or doesnt have any high hopes for any specific country the spokesman for Irans Atomic Energy Organization has also announced on monday that enrichment levels have officially gone above 3. 67 percent which was the agreed level in the nuclear deal and its at 4. 5 percent now. Also announced on monday that the 3rd phase of iran scaling back its commitment will take place in 60 days and thats likely to include iran iran enriching uranium at 20 percent levels all this comes as the International Community has condemned their own decision to reduce its cooperation with the nuclear deal for now the next 60 days being seen as the attempt by the rowhani government to allow the europeans to uphold their ends of the deal but the iranians have said that they will not stay in the seal at any cost it is up to the e. U. Signatories to try and show that they are committed to this deal by up holding their end of the bargain. Dorsets a party for inside story well now lets hear what Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman of us mousavi had to say no no. We have no hope nor trusting anyone or any country but the door of diplomacy is open as if the remaining countries in the deal especially the europeans do not fulfill their commitments seriously and do not do anything more than talk to irans 3rd step will be harder more steadfast and stunning this on the now european parties to the 25th india have condemned irans decision however france has said a dispute resolution mechanism that follows any partys breach of the agreement wont be traded at least for now germany has urged iran to reverse all activities considered inconsistent with its commitments so is the u. K. Which also said that while iran has broken the terms of the nuclear deal for us and remained for the committed to this. Well lets now bring in our guests in tehran we have Mohammad Marandi hes the dean of wild studies at the university of tehran in london any jeremiah shes the deputy head of the middle east and north Africa Program at the European Council on Foreign Relations and in vienna via Skype Robert Kelly hes a Nuclear Engineer top positions at the international Atomic Energy agency and at the u. S. Department of energys Los Alamos National lab welcome to you all robert id like to start with you explain the situation to all of us who wants Nuclear Energy experts this cap of 3. 67 percent what does that actually mean the the exceeding all that 3 point 67. 00 is a very low level consistent with Nuclear Power fuel air is nothing to do with building a bomb it does indicate that they are capable of the reaching europe to a higher level going to find pursued is a very. Small increase its. Well i would say its its proof that they are not working ramon because group from 3. 67 to 5 years old. A very minor thing that theyre doing the whole reason theyre doing this is to get the attention of the u. S. Mohammad marandi in tehran let me ask you is this all then just a symbolic gesture what will this potentially enriched uranium be used for because tehran has said that its going to i mean the enrich what it needs the iranians have as your audience knows theyve been abiding by the nuclear deal since day one and ever since the United States last year exited the green meant the iranians have been in full compliance as well so since the europeans have been basically abiding by trumps demands they have not been protecting their businesses they have not been protecting their business men and women of their banks or their Insurance Companies so therefore effectively they are part of the trump led sanctions and that is in complete violation of the deal. So after the americans left the europeans literally begged the iranians to stay in the deal so that over the next few weeks the europeans would work something out well a few weeks became more than a year Nothing Happened and the iranians said that the only way left for us is to begin decreasing our commitments to the j. C. Feel way to begin putting pressure on the europeans to abide by their commitments so when the europeans get upset with the iranians about decreasing their commitments the iranians feel that this is a euro cent theres a lot of euro centric arrogance here because its the iranians who should be complaining about the europeans so even though if the iranians are states step by step moving away from their commitments and there are so a lot of commitments left. Which we can get to later but they have said that if the europeans start abiding by the deal in other words ignoring trump importing oil facilitating ordinary trade between the u. S. And iran then the iranians would reverse all the steps that theyve taken over the past few weeks its Pretty Simple and i think its quite clear to anyone who looks at the situation objectively that the iranians have the right to be angry and that these are the necessary steps that they have to take to get the attention not of the americans but of the europeans well given that were talking about euro centric arrogance let me bring in ellie ellie on sunday we had a manual from the french president and will threaten tehran essentially warning that consequences would necessarily follow now that this cap has been passed but at the same time hes also trying to get everyone back to the negotiating table is this a change of tone or is this a carrot and stick kind of situation. Look i think the europeans are trying to tread a very careful balance here about not coming across as naive on the Nuclear Issue as far as the Trump White House is is positioned but also ensuring that they dont push iran into an even tighter corner that are already feels under the u. S. Sanctions pressure now what weve seen from iran at the moment is a very managed and calculated escalation on the nuclear file which from the european side still doesnt seem to have hit their red lines were not sure what the red lines are at the moment but clearly what weve seen is very small incremental exceeding of these Nuclear Commitments which again as your previous guest mentioned are quite low on the spectrum of Nuclear Activity and can be reversed and managed if there is enough diplomatic efforts made in the next within weeks or months ahead what im seeing from the european side particularly the French Initiative is to try and buy some time through a diplomatic pathway with teheran in the run up to the u. N. General assembly in september to really try and change the dynamics around the nuclear deal to stop the escalation both from the american side on piling on greater sanctions from the iranian side on withdrawing from its compliance now one of the things we might well see from the european side in the summer days is an outreach an even greater outreach i should say to the white house to see if they can create some flexibility and breathing room as far as irans oil exports are concerned which is a really critical issue for to ron if it is to indeed stay compliant to this deal the other element where the europeans are really focused on diplomatically and technically is trying to really launch this mechanism for trade with iran known as instax which many had thought would come about by by this time unfortunately there is there has been some problems with that but were hoping that this is going to be imminently facilitator. Searching transactions and trade between European Companies and iranian Companies Just to show ron something tangible is on the table for for sticking to this deal indeed and i want to ask you mohammed and tehran about that so this deal instead of trying to get around us sanctions essentially is that not enough of a symbol to tear around that that that europe wants to be on board with this deal. You know its its very little unacceptable for the iranians instax is an empty vessel and unless there is money in the system its value this so in order for trade to take place the europeans must allow and protect their companies to do business with iran so companies who want to import oil they have to be protected from the americans and the americans are basically interfering in internal European Affairs attorney telling them who you can trade with and who you cannot trade with so the europeans by some calculations the european economy is larger than that of the economy American Economy by some calculations the european population e. U. Population is larger than that of the United States its ridiculous to believe that the europeans dont have leverage over the americans the chinese are defying american bullying and they are the imports of iranian oil are on the rise as we speak the russians are defying the americans its the iranians just simply dont accept argument that the europeans can cant and the fact that the europeans could cooperate with countries like russia china and other Major Players in the International Community if they did that if they did that sort of cooperation theres very little that the americans can do so insects can only work if. European companies are allowed to work in iran or if the european governments are too afraid to stand up to the United States and protect their companies then the european governments have to Purchase Iranian Oil in the place of their companies but this alone this mechanism is an empty vessel it doesnt do anything unless theres money flowing through l. A. In london i want to ask you a little more about that is there the capacity for european governments to actually extend a hand to to help protect companies from from u. S. Sanctions and went beyond that and is that the space or is also has to stop patches singer rang in oil if if companies are going to do that because companies are the ones who are going to have to bear the risk. So over the past year or century there was an experiment phase for european governments and their companies to see really what is the impact of u. S. Unilateral sanctions on their economy now looking a year on we see that it is extensive vast and probably greater than and anyone had predicted a year ago in europe we had easier far have been doing a really extensive study into europes capabilities to respond to us 2nd do sanctions and unfortunately the way the economies are intertwined at the moment creates a really easy ability for the us to weaponize it sanctions against european governments and their companies now what were seeing in stakes is the very 1st elemental steps towards a longer term roadmap for response to this economic state craft that weve seen from the United States unfortunately for iran right now it doesnt seem that europe either has the capacity or the political willingness to to circumvent or undermine u. S. 2nd do sanctions so its very clear that in stakes at least in this initial phase is going to be restricted to facilitating humanitarian trade with iran its going to probably get a credit line from certain you governments and its going to only perhaps in and later stage connect to other economies 3rd countries like for example india or japan or china of for now the idea is to keep the ambition smaller limited to be able to actually get this mechanism on its legs to prevent it from being shot down on arrival by the white house or the u. S. Treasury and to create something bigger and this is the promise that europe is giving to iran now the ball is in Toronto Court to decide whether that is enough or not and i would agree perhaps with your earlier guests that part of what were seeing from iran now here on of waiting for europe is essentially to say that europe doesnt right now have the capacity to deliver on the economic fall and really the escalation were seeing on the. Nuclear issue or other other aspects in the region is to try and create leverage for possible negotiations that include directly with the United States in that case let me speak as well to robert who has worked within the u. S. Government the terms of the steal the 2015 deal seemed pretty clear in terms of preventing the production of a Nuclear Weapon but President Trump has said he wants a better deal and thats whats triggered all of this in your mind what would a better deal involve what kinds of terms could be improved from the 2015 deal. The people who negotiated the 2015 goal realized they couldnt cover the whole waterfront they couldnt deal with terrorism and missiles and things like that they felt that the Nuclear Explosive was the thing that poses the most to the middle east and to the United States for being limited to a fairly small set of things i think that was a very smart and wise thing is done from. From time to time says you think it should be missiles you think should be terrorism he doesnt understand what was done before and thats what makes him so dangerous is he changes his mind every day and doesnt understand what the purpose of this was a better deal i think just sticking to this deal would be a good one trumps nontrivial days is he wont let iran develop a Nuclear Weapon while the j c p u a is doing that its important to i think to realize that iran has not withdrawn from the j. C. T. Away as mahmoud was saying its just a matter of they are changing the terms slightly within the j. C. T. Or theyre still there the i. A. E. A. Was able to determine the next day that theyve started to increase the amount of your i mean they were producing their great acting now within one day that the enrichment is going up and its iran thats leading the i. A. E. A. To these places and saying you have the right to come here every day let us show you where you should be making measurements and see that were telling the truth so theyre not out of the deal theyre very much into this the u. S. Whos out of the deal well lets go back to karen and Mohammad Marandi i want to ask you a little more about the father. The father enrichment of uranium and the audience what were seeing now so the threats in 60 days time theyre going to obviously which meant levels and then potentially continue upping that in 60 days beyond that where does this all ends. Well they can it depends on the europeans because the europeans have commitments and the iranians are not going to accept any change whatsoever to the j c p o a because a change in the j. C. A means basically that iran will be appeasing trump and that would lead to a very dangerous situation every time trump wants something from iran hell start threatening the country again if you wake up in the morning and you tweet you sanctions you demands so theres no way the americans keep talking about or some europeans keep talking about a new deal i assure you there is no way that that is going to happen this is all that iran is going to accept many in iran never accepted the deal they thought it was a bad deal there was a huge debate in iran many said that they were being given to any concessions that they were too flexible but at the end of the day all sides agreed to the deal and as your previous guest rightly pointed out other issues could not be put on the table because the differences were so great what the americans consider as terrorism the iranians consider resistance like when israel invades lebanon irans support for the resistance in lebanon or iran. The you that the United States and the saudis have been supporting extremism in terrorism in syria and starvation in yemen and so on the differences were so enormous that the talks would have led nowhere to nowhere so we have an agreement both sides gave concessions both sides have people who are unhappy about it but at the end of the day both sides have committed themselves to it and again if iran were to accept new conditions that would be going down a very slippery slope towards extreme danger and therefore theres no chance for that so if the europeans want to save the agreement they have to take a stand they are vulnerable to the United States but the United States is vulnerable the iranians simply wont accept that argument if the europeans want to be relit. And they have to or they want to be seen as relevant they have to be relevant they cant say we cant do anything but also want to sit at the negotiating table i want to ask ellie a little more about the u. S. Pressure that were hearing so much about we also saw british minute marines aboard and seize a reining in tanker off the coast of japan. Is that an example of europe giving in to u. S. Pressure. Well it seems to have sparked a discussion internally within the e. U. As well in terms of European Union sanctions framework there is now a spat between the Spanish Government and the u. K. Government about authority to carry out the sec to vittie and there is this perception definitely inside her on that this this operation was conducted at the behest of the white house now it will be interesting to see if iran indeed actually takes up a legal challenge for the release of tanker and and essentially puts a legal challenge on to the u. K. For for this activity because theres a lot of question marks about whether this activity was actually legal under the e. U. Sanctions framework in itself but thats a question to be worked out certainly what were seeing now is that the fire wall that was put in place between the nuclear deal and other areas of contentions issues between iran and europe for the last 4 years is starting to deteriorate and the more skill ation were seeing on one area is going to have impact on the nuclear deal and the political relations between the europeans and the iranians i do think it will be important to see if both the u. K. And iran in this circumstance can come up with a diplomatic route out of this for cooler heads to prevent this from escalating further because at the end of the day the u. K. Is a critical party to this nuclear deal its active its an active shareholder of this insect mechanism and it could be an important intermediary when it comes to how iran and the United States liaise Going Forward especially once the domestic leadership questions about the premiership in the u. K. Are resolved in the coming weeks well let me ask robert a little more about these growing european or or u. K. And u. S. Tensions because the. Edition bassa to washington and some leaked comments describe u. S. Policy on iran is incoherent chaotic says its unlikely that u. S. Policy on iran is going to become more coherent any time soon because this is a divided administration robert whos driving the hardline approach within the Us Administration and whats the aim of all of this. Those were really quite amazing comments werent they i think we all enjoyed them and i think a lot of people saw the truth in that as elie has pointed out maybe were going to see a little more in the u. K. Here in a few weeks who is driving miss i think the u. S. Is speaking with very many voices its very hard to tell who the voices are some of them are constant like bolton in popo havent changed their mind bolton has a terrible conflict of interest as almost a paid spokesman for m e a i make a in the past so i dont know why hes even allowed to participate in this interim pairs of is talks in most sides of his mouth all the time so i dont know how you can say who is who is speaking or one thing i do think though about this business of the u. S. Withdrawing from the deal its very odd that the u. S. Thinks its the worst feeling ever that they continue to fund the i. A. E. A. Is j c p o activities and by funding the j. C. B. Away activities the u. S. Is keeping their hand in the game and collecting very valuable intelligence they couldnt give any other way this is a place where the europeans could really step up and say youre not part of this deal anymore you can leave the deal maybe well even have to make up the money that youre contributing to j. C. Perience veterans but if youre out youre fully out and that would be something europeans could do very legitimately to to tell United States youre not welcome here while saying as the u. S. Is keeping its hands in the deal let me go back to tehran and balad im going to give you the final thing i had very briefly can you tell me is the iranian can deal now dead or is that time to save it still. Well its thanks to the iranians that its not dead because after trump left the deal and the europeans began by they doing it it should have been dead but the iranians had patients they chose to teach it patients for 14 months and now even as they decrease their commitments theyre doing it in a way to preserve the deal for as long as possible but there is no doubt that ultimately if the if the europeans do not abide by their commitments then the iranians will leave the deal and they will gradually. Decrease all their commitments until they reach nothing and i think the downing of the us drone a 200000000. 00 drone twice the price of an authority 5. 00 by 20000. 00 iranian made missile is very symbolic that the iranians both have the will and the competence to defend themselves and i think its very dangerous for the british to carry out such piracy or the saudis or the m. R. Atis to go along with american policy like this the iranians have no option but to protect their sovereignty and if push comes to shove the iranians are not going to back down so its a very dangerous for washington to play a game with a chicken with iran. Certainly a very dangerous game of chicken and it is indeed well thank you to all our guests Mohammad Marandi elie jeremiah and robert kelly and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com and join us for some further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.
