It is elizabeth absolutely you know you have 10 r. C. On a member of Foreign Ministers here you have other Foreign Ministers from the reason but from around the world coming in so yes a lot of diplomats here in bangkok but so much focus is on the United States and china because whats going on between those 2 nations because there are 2 global superpowers and lets talk about this a little bit more with that anon who is with to a long horn university right here in bangkok Global Affairs expert also a columnist for the bangkok post thank you very much for joining us lets focus on the 2 superpowers here now their approach to Southeast Asia is very different but distinct you know you kind of have the chinese blaming the United States for trying to surround them when you look at their 2 different approaches to this region how can you parse that well how do you see that theyre different and similar its almost a classic kind of confrontation scott you have on the one hand say incumbents superpower the United States let the International Order Southeast Asia have been for some time and theyre preeminent paramount on the other hand you have china a rising superpower with its b. Initiative the u. S. Has pushed back with its kind of indopacific strategy and these 2 superpowers their rivalry and competition for Southeast Asia and beyond. And i think dictates outcomes and dynamics of these meetings this week why is it so important to them of the i know i know that you know you look at the economy of these 10 to 10 nations would be the 5th largest economy in the world who are a country is it all about money is it about territory what what is the why of these 2 global superpowers bashing heads you know halfway around the world in the United States Southeast Asian states and governments separately and then also significant smaller states but together as 10 member reason organization r. C. N. Has been around for 52 years and also has succeeded in you think its so playing its central organizing platform for the regional architecture building from the east asia summit to a pact you know defense minister. And Regional Forum and so on so the action in asia has taken place at the center. Thats why both the us and china cannot do it in this indispensable its imperative at the same time very smart to draw in this superpowers and. To neutralize them for that it does not get the clips and overwhelmed by them when you look at that too you know you have these 2 superpowers pretty much going nose to nose theyre very diplomatic in their speech as you know these kind of vents will have but is that could this lead to conflict is it dangerous both economically and if you got the United States and china in a trade war youve got disputes over the South China Sea claims by china things how you know shots fired in the air warning shots on the sea is dangerous this confrontation this nose to nose its very dangerous and the trends that were seeing alarming you know South China Sea. To the can china Korean Peninsula beyond also the map for weeks until we have a drought this year we can see that the chinese have build dams up north upstream like they have built the artificial islands in the South China Sea and weaponize them and the u. S. Is trying to play off allies against china the philippines in the mains and the chinese know it so theyre trying to kind of divide up in a little bit when they need to be is very much in. The philippines on the u. S. Side and the rest in between what us in the snow want to see china u. S. Competition spiraling out of control and having to size and this is i think a proposition that is being forwarded by both sides now which side is going to be Something Else and find real voice thank you very much obviously always with some very complex issues there wont be solved at this meeting here but theres been a little bit of progress as at least the 2 superpowers have sat down and met we know that theyve said a few things nothing revolutionary out of it but at least you know the rhetoric seems to be about the same in that at least when it comes to the trade war between the 2 of them it seems that thats kind of moving forward but not too quickly and then also with north korea the 2 talking about how to move forward with that Peace Process there is our thank you very much for that scott heide live in bad cock. Now china is preventing many of its citizens from traveling to taiwan the decision to stop a show and travel permit permits would affect people from 47. 00 mainland says hes china views taiwan as a breakaway province and tensions between beijing and taipei have been rising in recent months when haye has more from shanghai. In the 1st half of this year more than 600000. 00 people from china visited taiwan so this decision will certainly have an Economic Impact and that seems to be the motivation behind it to apply pressure on the government in taiwan led by a president sighing wind who very much opposes the one china principle we have the election to coming up in january next year and theres no doubt that the government in china would prefer to see a more pro beijing person in office in taipei the decision also comes after some fairly provocative events recently we had the latest sale announced by the United States to taiwan worth more than 2000000000. 00 that certainly angered beijing there was a visit also by president sighing when to some caribbean nation some of the few countries that still have diplomatic relations with taiwan on her way there and back she stopped off in the United States words which also angered the government in china and the government in taiwan is also offered to provide sanctuary to protesters in hong kong who have been rallying against their own government and also increasing influence from beijing now former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden was the clear target on light 2 of the 2nd round of democratic debates biden came under fire from all the 9 other president ial hopefuls he shared the stage with john hendren has more from detroit. When joe biden want to do the fox theater in detroit to face 9 other democratic president ial hopefuls who might as well have had a target on his back the alls. To be gunning for him in the 1st round of debates it was harris the california senator who attacked him on civil rights her poll numbers went up and his poll numbers went down so this time when they greeted at the beginning of the debate biden said go easy on me kid but it was he who launched the 1st attack an attack her on her plan for publicly funded health care she attacked back saying that bidens plan which is much more moderate was simply inadequate and then one candidate after another seemed to pile on poorly on castro attacked him on immigration and the by the obama administrations policy of deporting more people actually than the Trump Administration did and then cory booker the new jersey senator on his criminal justice bill back in the 1990 s. And then you had jay inslee the governor of washington attack him on Climate Change in told me afterward that he thought he was personally offended that biden seemed to think Climate Change was something he could tackle later but time and time again biden was attacked and he struck back in the end in the next few days the polls are likely to determine whether those repeated attacks left a lasting mark but he did seem rattled in the end biden ended up mangling his own number for fund raising which he gave to the audience now that u. S. Central bank has cut Interest Rates by a quarter of a point the 1st reduction in a decade ahead of the federal. Signs of a global slowdown and the u. S. China trade disputes the president says his disappointment was expecting a big a rate cut she has more from washington d. C. Which im of the Federal Reserve sides of 3 main factors for the rates cup the weakening Global Economic outlook the weakening outlook for u. S. Trade around the world as a result we conflation in the United States his argument seemed to be look the u. S. Economic indicators are humming along why dont just give them a little bit of a boost with this quarter. Cerns rate cut he denied any political pressure but we do know the dog trial has been pushing for a rate cuts from the fed larger than this one that is because clearly dont trust once the economy to keep on expanding into the 2020 Economic Cycle drone pilot 1st saying that he didnt see this is a long succession of rate cuts but then he clarified that suggested that there may be more rate cuts to come perhaps altro will get hit more rate cuts simply because of his Economic Policy the only certainty over trade as a result of his trade wars and trade rhetoric but also the Economic Policy that prioritized enormous cuts for the wealthy and corporations and not Sustainable Investments into the u. S. Economy itself so he he may get his his rate cuts but he wont so much now concerns about the irish border dominated bars johnsons 1st visit to Northern Ireland as Prime Minister the socalled irish backstop is the most contentious part of the break that withdrawal deal between the u. K. And the e. U. Johnson says the deal must be of a horse despite the e. U. s resistance living baba reports from belfast. Grabbing the attention of the Prime Minister or trying to these Belfast Shipyard workers are set to lose their jobs their predicament just one of the challenges Northern Irelands devolved government here at stormont could be addressing if it were up and running. For its johnson promise to spend no effort to make that happen its great to be to be here in Northern Ireland and. Clearly the people in or out of have been without a government without stormont for 2 years and 6 months so my my prime focus this morning is to do everything i can to help that get up and running again the 5 Political Parties here have been talking since may about how to get the Northern Irish assembly back in business it was set up in 1980 as part of a peace deal that gave this part of the u. K. A degree of autonomy but issues including Irish Language rights and access to abortion remain divisive on top of that politicians have wildly differing views on brics it and specifically Boris Johnsons insistence that the e. U. Scraps the socalled irish backstop keeping the whole of the u. K. Closely aligned with the u. Rules until theres a trade deal in place and its very clear that the end is the backstop that has caused all of the difficulties with the Winter Olympics and therefore. Subject to focus negotiations and therefore we will support. Other parties say the backstop is essential to prevent a hard border theyre worried what they call the Prime Ministers hardline strategy will backfire and see the u. K. Leave the e. U. Without a deal that in their view would inevitably lead to physical checks at the border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. And Christian Faith in the main nationalist party it could even be the push for a referendum or uniting north and south weve made it clear to him that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying i was in respect of a potential crash brags that has to include the constitutional question of the issue of a border poll here in ireland. Seen feigns ultimate is and always has been achieving the united. Warning to the Prime Minister is the way hes going about brics it could make up prospects a great deal more likely. For now the action at stormont is outside the parliament not in sight even if the assembly does against all expectations resume its work in the near future the challenge of protecting the good friday agreement that created it could make delivering any kind of brics it an uphill struggle barbara aljazeera belfast.

Was President Joe Biden was the clear target on like 2 of the 2nd round of democratic debates biden came under fire from all the other president ial hopefuls he shared the stage with in detroit those are the headlines on aljazeera inside story is coming up next. Shane we bring you the story. Its been controversial in india for years the use of the socalled triple tulloch by a man to divorce his wife is now outlawed a new law replaces the centuries old islamic practice but will it protect muslim women and is it politically motivated this is inside story. Hello welcome to the program im Adrian Finnegan a muslim man in india can no longer divorce his wife by simply uttering taluk the arabic word for divorce 3 times if a husband tries to do that he can now be jailed for up to 3 years the socalled triple tulloch method of instant divorce has been criminalized by Indias Parliament the upper house passed the bill on tuesday 2 years after the Supreme Court declared the practice unconstitutional but its sharply divided lawmakers and campaigners those in favor say the new measure protects muslim women opponents those say its unusual to criminalize divorce and that the punishment is too harsh others argue that marriage problems should be reviewed by Community Leaders and not by the government with a ruling by a janitor party or be j. P. Managed to pass the law after it had been blocked by the opposition for more than a year indias Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated what he called a victory on twitter he said an archaic and mediaval practice has finally been combined to the dustbin of History Parliament abolishes tripple telecom corrects a historical wrong done to muslim women this is a victory of gender justice and will further equality in Society India rejoices today he says but opponents of the bill accuse his hindu nationalist b j p of targeting muslims. As of the day in a way see a member of parliament for the opposition all india. Had the muslimeen party said this law is against muslim women a marginalizes them even more well or forces a woman to stay in a marriage with an imprisoned man whod verbal e. And emotionally abused her it puts the burden of proof on muslim women and forces her into impoverishment so what is the instant triple tahlequah practice as weve mentioned allows muslim men to divorce their wives just by saying the word it can happen anytime and by any means including telephone text message or by social media post the measure isnt used universally among muslims around the world different islamic schools of thought prefer the divorce process to be carried out over a period of 3 months allowing time for reflection and reconciliation more than 20 countries including neighboring pakistan and bangladesh have banned the practice the custom was prevalent among muslims in india which doesnt have a standard civil code. So lets bring in our guests for todays discussion from new delhi were joined by desh rather nigam who is a lawyer associated with the legal wing of the russian tria swam setback sang a Hindu Nationalist Organization joining us from london gareth price from Chatham House research and Current Affairs institute and via skype from new delhi come on through he has founder of the all india muslim personal law border Nongovernment Organization which supports the protection of muslim personal law in india and if we can start with you and i right in thinking that you are very much in favor of this bill if so why when its a discriminatory bill is needed unfairly criminalizes muslim men all those from other faiths who leave their wives commit only a civil offense. So that until you let us be very very clear this bill is for the rights of mary he muslims or men and also gender equality and gender justice it has nothing to do with religion now criminalization is on account of instant triples the luck not to belittle our instant to put a lock which is. One in one sitting by the off electronic means whatsapp s. M. S. Is email striking letters or spoken words that is what busy has been criminalized now women used to live in constant fear and they were treated as slaves and property that they can be thrown out any time now this instant to put a lock has no basis in islamic law also it is illegal and void under islamic laws so in this background not of these instant i would says what taking place in womens women were being thrown out no you have to make a distinction with abandonment no abandonment in other legion does not lead to divorce legal status of a person does not change but here despite the fact it is an islamist this practice this inhuman practice was going on in our society and therefore this initiative was not a started by hindu men it was a started by misleading muslims themselves they signed a petition 1000000 muslim men and women in india and most of them of women signed this petition and this process was initiated in the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court held the Supreme Court of india held that it is unconstitutional and illegal and despite the Supreme Court ordered this practices were continuing and women were being you know thrown out of the houses and therefore there was a lot of quiet to criminalize it and to make it as a deterrent you also have such kind of laws and in other islamic countries which its just been only nature and people are sent to jail if they do not follow the lead down procedure so opposition by certain sections of people is on account of that would bend. Text which they are playing and kind of getting a feel monk you know fear among the muslims in india that their religion is being affected their society is being affected but end of the day this is about being their fundamental rights up all in their fundamental rights and other rights that the constitution of india gives them come out for ok in new delhi youre opposed to the bill of people like you and he women has as has been claimed many times in the debate leading up to the passing of this bill. Son of a thank you very much across a highly sensitive matter 3 the new government of dave sad to Say Something about that and prostitution so i have to do one thing if you only one who says that it is illegal in islam i think you need to go away for the teaching of islam and it can be months but it is not easy to get yes it has not been seen as the most fervent belief and of things. And honesty to busy divorce but it is not unique and it is not an islam he misses will a part separately just for 10 of them and it is being used that i had only in this country by the end of his will up are so he must understand if this is nothing and this time interval is the number and not illegal in those times yes it does not be if you are an if you believe that most of the bible it is seen it is not as one of the backing in fact but is not always said if their own if the husband then theyre not going to get together on the other thing but what was certainly going to set in fact that when found that and i think that thats point will be it will shine and if you see thats a medium of events when the men have something theyre going to perdition its absolutely home the genesis of the whole case is that and so that is unique kind of situation in my country where and on theres been so important jacks right here by the senate leaving a lot of. Judgment on it in all women today on difficulty unfortunately that they do and when it got that way it is fatal for this kind of things if i was to be jet meant that part of the budget and one of the definite says that having a boat that he did is this not just background on the but by the ear of the gentleman nasca and he sat there and we have also come to know or no point except to leave indeed etc so if you have also come across that it will suit you and also will be some pretty good as well maybe yes things so look we want. 5 b. And 5 b. At the end he says the just man and the last 2 lines and he said theyd is proper for us to definitely who arent who. This is not is not on the basis of the b. S. All the events of argument because ive been at it saying it is in fact on the ship you often occupants of new order and it is unique it has come and often to do so up to 6 months not this guy is so deadly that lets not. Stop it making the appeal and mark on time that he spent a lot of effort but if i just meant it in fact and. There was a new kind of judgment in the name and im not the. One of the unit that come out little i have to just because im going to im going to interrupt you to come i will come to the detail a little bit later in the program i notice that you didnt answer my question that people like you anti women. No absolutely not no muslim can be undocumented and he will not be a muslim if you give him any because its ump used islam or the one of the 1st religion in the word which gives the equal right to do but. If you meant what and it gives it definitely later in to provide to be sure that it had been given that it also gives that i dont remember what about them maybe if she feels that shes not being treated properly it just going to fall out and it demands it then of course it could have procedures would be that it should be given in the t. V. Months that be there and then it or not but if there is an option that was an option but just r. B. C. Then it wouldnt absolutely break the same that there was also given what he does being but it is in the other lectures well maybe you dont and you can find out in our website also that we have discussed it is and of the law it is the guide but be discredited that is that is in fact and we are not no mr gandhi and you meant that you have been sort of argument that it is of all of that god not exist but that i mean by gareth price in london why was the government so determined to push this bill through and the government would make the case that. In the past certain anomalies in the personal law have benefited what you would describe as the Minority Community muslims and i think there clearly is a long term trend towards some kind of uniform civil code i think the ability for. Muslim men and get a divorce than their wives by saying a lot 3 times which is as he pointed out is isnt. Allowed in many other actually islamic majority countries is something i think its quite hard to defend sir i think its become a sort of this is the. The touchstone of a reordering. The personal codes so its not in itself anti muslim its just the government doing what it said it was going to do when it came to power it sits in the governments manifesto i mean i would point out there are many things that are illegal within india that dont necessarily have that has not necessarily made a difference so for instance diaries have been illegal in india since 1961 but theyre still quite prevalent and marriages in there so i think this is this is something where the government the government doesnt have a majority in the upper have. Enough lawmakers of other parties were able to. To support this particular measure ok rotten is not the case that whats actually required in the india as gas was saying there was a uniform civil code that treats all citizens regardless of their religion their race their gender equally. Yes yes theres no doubt and we have laws among hindus and which have been in character and therefore nobody can say that but this year it is again i reiterate that this is not a question of abandonment it is a question of the change of the legal status of of life from being a vice to a divorced person and that is all again on the basis of something which is illegal unconstitutional in human. The law has not you know considered to put a lock as illegal it is the instant to put a lock is just a lock it but that which is done at one sitting which keeps the reman very fearful on tenterhooks and theyre treated like slaves and property so this is different from being an abandonment where the legal status does not change of the vice and therefore the people who are trying to you know speak against this law are the ones who do not want you know the hedgie many of certain sections of men among the muslims to go of it and theyre trying to create fear among the minorities and consolidate the muslims as of what bank which is which is where the entire politics is coming and let me tell you that a few things very important out here that i have seen men who are opposing it initially but when it happens in their family they start supporting this bill so that kind of situation is also there this is grover men it is about their rights it is about gender equality and justice and cannot be seen from the narrow you know vision off religion come on through keep. People like you opponents of the bill just want to create fear among the minorities how do you answer that. Now this is again sending obvious but you conception of a defensive situation to both you said again something he says in fact one of the muslims we get in was no sir but i did just that in 5 percent of the people population of and theyre absolutely not part of the world scene the whole scenario of the world the guests muslims i dont think you can buy a 2nd one if i view that the at the war battle that went on since ive been chased on will think now if mr nigam has used the wanted to get wanted to go think what but what politics and even to get in the minority and we are absolutely not and you know what is happening right now in the country that people have very different but. At least and youve got it and youve been around the not the other and what it is how this and i decide who is doing that what it is and not just that i am not a Political Party and simply a man out of it but who is using me as it on was there and being treated as a bad man and i want to save you just still does not negate their particular order babbages happened in the election not so and just and i didnt are still going on so certainly believe it john john was there be out what exactly that will do is absolutely absurd because absolutely we have nobody yet in the majority in the country if you have only been nearly 6 yet but some. Of it is in the works but at the end you have absolutely not that not and that may have been present 15 percent population of the country it is having i believe 20 to 24 member find them and this and get 96 only by me that if you should i mean at least 63 of the population is thats what im going to go through that be i did it and it and nothing can get it and what of the system its not certain but who is using it or the what it is going to. Be are not doing it again not given the nod ip was due by the tsunamis that might be i just said the fact to be happy is the fact they havent because none of. Thats the only difficulty you got there one paul but me and fabulous didnt go to. The video as it is 2nd class it is that and they want to show it that look we have to use them as that and thats what hes done in fact that they were doing it why would i be doing it i just listen to them why would i be doing it im not going to get it the only thing is that it is so important as only you said and it was there may not have meant it only sad that. As soon as the fundamental takes up the sound guy ritchie im going to date and ive been doing. This maybe legion ok and this whole debacle but yeah well lets lets put that to death for a time do you want to try to come back on that. Yeah the fact remains i think this is not personally against a fight ok im talking about certain people and sections of a polish busy Political Parties who are opposing this bill now look at how they had been in the upper house of Indian Parliament they all privately want this bill to be passed but publicly oppose it in the parliament they abstain from voting and some of them walked out which brought down the mark of majority below a certain level and therefore this bill was very easily passed so they have to face is bundle public and one in private in private when it happens among in that one family they start supporting this this bill but otherwise in public they start opposing i think everybody should be clear about the fundamental right of right to life or dignity to of women which isnt shined in our constitution it has nothing to do with religion that right does not to talk about hindus and muslims it is a neutral religiously neutral fundamental right and that is what has been given through and the Supreme Court judgement was not acting as a deterrent and therefore and the cases number of cases where increasing and going on im only talking about reported cases that are huge number of under porter cases which are there despite the Supreme Court judgement and therefore this law was absolutely necessary to mensa paid the women about gender justice and equality and to make a law to act as a decadent. The Supreme Court ruling had little impact on the ground will list law change anything its just going to lead to an increase in men leaving their wives without getting divorced to open it to me i think have a place that in practice is a sin as missing crucial. There are laws against diary as a saying a they only applied. In india is is it going to be used to target members of the specific Muslim Community is it just going to add to the backlog of cases in indias already overstretched legal system. Time will time will tell but like to say that the passing of laws of itself doesnt necessarily change the brain reality and that i mean in the goddess of religion and large parts of north india theres a huge number of challenges to. The status of women and society and both communities and in some of the some of the states and north india female you know the female percentage of the labor force is less than afghanistan so theres a whole series of gender challenges which which need to be faced up to again if theres a outside observer whats your view is there a hidden agenda behind this bill i think the ruling party would say as as as you tell us your speaker from the r. S. S. Said that this is this is not good for womens right is not good for the status of women. The fact that its applies in the muslim communities is currents to dental but i think the fact that it is quite difficult to defend means there actually passed in the upper has i think if this is the signal of something. You know this is step one and then there been various other actions taken itll be much harder for the government to push it through the ranks so so thats if its this kind of symbolic or whether its the 1st step of ironing out various anomalies in muslim pass along to shorten a ok past the upper house has it though this bill been properly scrutinized by lawmakers why would the government send it to a select committee for instance for revision c c it yes yes i have an answer this is not a new bill this bill has been debated in the last session of the parliament and certain you know changes was just took by opposition those cigar then changes have been incorporated busy in the bill and this is the new bill that has come up and that was introduced and passed so the concern of the oppositions what all of it taken care of there were suggested by the opposition and those provisions have been included in the new bill and it was totally scrutinized and debated in parliament and it was not necessary to be sent that is no mandatory requirement to be sent to Parliamentary Committee also a committee and this is if it had been a new bill which would not have been debated had one could have understood the demand of sending it to a select committee the suggestions made by the oppositions have all of the been incorporated that are safeguards to prevent the misuse of this this particular law and therefore the you know demand for sending it to a select committee is all most has no basis come out why so many people like you and Community Leaders in india against this bill when many other muslim majority states even pakistan a bangladesh next door have regulated triple top. I dont want to. Discuss that point not that it should but i just want respond to what new comes out. Man in fact that again it must be a fact what hes saying is absolutely not fair you know generally the media was talking as it will often its missed it but then has to go in 40 years that is a must that the book would have been better integrated luckless and you could have it not even not been it wasnt going to be 8 and yet it was and the possible book all of them but you can get that list there is access divorce is very people that you leave your argument because people can do the live for today yes now what they have done it but its only going to state they have slightly made it in that now it will not be the out say that its going to be deployed relation and it is complex the relation is the longest and as you read that relations that concern as the dispute seconds and sometimes it happens in the Family Center are so deep our son come always be planned to be automatically in the box behind on foot to keep going going to get it and he was 4 months track time as it was of an image to be a guest comment time as you point out is is tight youve got a minute come out on to the question you didnt want to answer which is why a 70 people in india against the regulating of triple tulloch when when muslim majority countries like pakistan and bangladesh have done so. You know as soon as we are concerned we have holiday related you know that said but if you can to get the hat made out look at the bottom of it its a complex and it only does. It so we cant do it and in that context we have to wait it really does get in automatically it will get worse will not by putting it in and but examples of the absent laws in the Indian Economy except that it is a bit and they that it is full well the fact is have. The accent and then ship they should discuss it so theres a possibility of easy not to mention these particular thing in fact if you need to be found according to ok what the website that would have not been any clearer unfortunately you need to educate the people around the words a lot more money in the market and many thanks to the a minute is up there gentlemen im afraid we must leave our discussion thank you very much indeed to you all for being with us right on the gun gareth price and come out for and thank you as always for watching dont forget you can see the program again at any time just by visiting our website at aljazeera dot com for further discussion join us on our Facebook Page youll find that at facebook dot com forward slash a.

Explosions rocked the yemeni city of aden a military parade and a Police Station ahead. Hello and welcome to aljazeera live from my head injuries and doha with me and for on im so ahead irans president describes u. S. Sanctions on the countrys foreign minister as childish and says the move is evidence that washington is afraid of muhammad job. Trying to contain the ball to break the deal see a patient tests positive and go in and. Democratic frontrunner joe biden is at heart of the race for the partys president ial nomination. Were getting reports of casualties off to 2 explosions targeting Security Forces in yemens point city of ada and one of the attacks was on a military camp to say they carried his house using an armed drawn and a mystic missile and now that explosion has a Police Station theres been no claim of responsibility for that. We will bring you more information on that as we get it but lets move on to other other news now the United States has imposed tough sanctions on irans top diplomat mohammad janet zarif president Hassan Rouhani has called the decision childish especially since around the proposed unconditional talks recently the u. S. Is accusing the foreign minister of promoting what it calls the reckless agenda of irans Supreme Leader has had bags saying its all because the u. S. Considers him a huge threat rosalind jordan reports from washington d. C. The u. S. Is maximum Pressure Campaign against iran has claimed a new target foreign minister zarif american educated comfortable in front of the cameras and the one who negotiated the 2050 nuclear deal with world powers. But the trumpet ministration says as a wreath is no honest broker and has imposed sanctions on him we consider javid zarif the foreign minister an illegitimate spokesman for iran are and iran itself is a government you consider illegitimate do not well exactly it is a state sponsor of terrorism it is the worlds central banker of terrorism biggest finance or biggest arm are the sanctions come at a time of great tension between chalfant in washington whether in the waterways of the gulf or in proxy conflicts around the middle east any assets zarif might have in the us are frozen these approvals to visit un headquarters in new york are no longer guaranteed and the prophet ministration says its no longer obligated to talk to zarif since the us quit the Iran Nuclear Deal last year on this point one expert says the u. S. Is recognizing the real source of power in town brought on the managed power is not mr rouhani the president is not was the star of the foreign minister it is the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali home and he was in charge of the armed forces the judiciary a course of after august intelligence agencies ministries as on and so forth and not not to say that he is a nice old power broker power maker in the country but by far the most important and all the Armed Forces Special of the revolutionary guards that you dish surely saunas so forth are most loyal to it and but another expert says this isnt why the u. S. Is targeting zarif the troponin stray shin or at least the faction that is behind this decision is not interested in the pla mysie they want to prevent it at all cost this is an effective measure towards at least making it much much more difficult for us and iran to talk and if the us and iran cannot talk that increases the likelihood of a military confrontation which is the explicit desire of john bolton a National Security adviser even as the us was rolling out its sanctions and else meant as a reef was reacting on twitter thanking the trump ministration for considering him a threat to its agenda. Rosalyn jordan aljazeera washington a correspondent is joining us live from the iranian capital for more on this and so they faced police saying he couldnt be less ball that about these sanctions or so what more has he been saying about this today. Well weve heard from the foreign minister himself this morning on another tweet where he said that we know that calling for dialogue and peace is an existential threat to the team and since reason for designating me as my words would u. S. Persons need oh if they see license to engage with me by reading my writings or listening to interviews the b. Team has referring to there is the trio of u. S. Security advisor john bolton the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin some on this trio is being accused of trying to put more pressure on iran and that syria is the relationship between the United States and the zam a public fest what the foreign minister there is referring to and the o. F. A c. Office that hes referring to there is a foreign assets control in the United States which enforces sanctions that are put in place so hes being quite ironic in his tweet there is a general sense here is that the United States government has absolutely no idea how the government structure and the power structure works in the Islamic Republic the iranian president Hassan Rouhani at an event this morning said that you dont sanction a countrys foreign minister if you expect to have dialogue with them with that country if you cant talk to the foreign minister who do you expect to have discussions with the Foreign Ministers of azzurri has has been the architect of the 2015 Nuclear Agreement he was handpicked by the president to lead the charge in that file in 2013 when Hassan Rouhani was elected he took away the portfolio from the countrys National Supreme Security Council which is in charge of the countrys Nuclear Program and has been dealing with the negotiations in the past he took the father away from that body and gave it to the Foreign Ministry specifically to be led by muhammad who is a career diplomat he lived in the United States in new york from 2002 until 2007 he was their arms prominent representative to the United Nations during that time. Im so this is really seen as a lack of understanding by the u. S. Government up how the system works your and the foreign minister has said that this sanctions will not really affect him because he absolutely has no assets in the United States thank you very much for that that is dalton with the latest live and ted thank you now despise pulling out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal the u. S. Is keeping one part of it alive for now washington has extended waivers allowing foreign firms to work at a Nuclear Facilities without penalties theyll continue for another 90 days the way it was at the last remaining part of the deal still recognized by the u. S. Now germany has rejected the u. S. Request to help patrol the strait of hormuz washington want to germany to join the u. K. And france on a mission to help secure the route which is used to ship one 5th of the worlds oil but German Foreign minister highclere ma says his government wants to avoid escalating regional tensions and nato has hasnt been asked to be involved in the mission but the secretary general says Member States are following developments closely. Of course orphans or all need was civil it was all of the assets. Growth but those been no request for a nato mission.
