News live from moscow this is your r. T. International good. Company minings human. Has announced its to boost production of low level enrich uranium surpassing the stockpile limits set by the 2015 Nuclear Agreement thats happening. Time on june 27th we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit and reached uranium under the nuclear deal after that we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. A little bit earlier join me in the studio to explain where this latest announcement leaves the 2015. Deal is falling apart so it is pretty much as big as it gets because iran is giving a final warning in 10 days they will start enriching uranium beyond the limits set by the deal and im not talking just a civilian sort of levels they could easily reach those levels of enrichment that would constitute a weapons grade level of enrichment and which could lead to iran obtaining a Nuclear Weapon and i mean iran is saying that it is a tit for tat measure theyre saying that if the United States that they had dropped out of the deal a year ago last year. This whole year iran has been very patient but theyre saying well if one side is not you know not following the deal then why should. Relations between the u. S. And russia have been on this dying words spiral i think its safe to say for quite some time but it did come in the renewed focus didnt it this month totally i mean just last week 2 were attacked in the the word explosions basically in the gulf of oman and the United States for instance they were very very quick to pin the blame on iran for doing so and some middle eastern allies they jumped on that bargain as well have a listen we are confident that we can take a set of actions that can restore deterrence which is our mission so you say a full range of options does that include a military response force. Sometimes even obvious things must be. And try and does it in his current firm stance against irans the gresham name the gulf of amman in the persian gulf as well as in the region in general rein in regime did not respect the japanese Prime Ministers visit to iran it replied to the foot by talking to one of which was japanese one thing all those clips we just saw have in common theyre all u. S. Allies what about other Global Reaction what europe saying you know well interesting thing about that video is that those are pretty much the only u. S. Allies that with water. You know on this whole thing of pointing the finger of blame at iran and saying yeah tehran had something to do with it when it comes to europe theyre not as a trust not as trusting i should say as saudi arabia and israel. We call upon sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence to be presented which it is bits ridiculous to cite secret data in this case. In the last days we have called for the maximum restraint the world cannot afford another crisis especially in an area like that 1st of all we need to investigate who is responsible for the attacks so we can say this or that country was responsible without providing any evidence run by the way they said that if they indeed want to see something going on in the gulf of oman if they wanted to block trade to block this trade route they wouldnt have needed a diversion to do so they would have done it openly saying yeah were blocking it theyre saying that in military is Strong Enough to do it out in the open you know when they play by the rules so we can clearly see that there are a lot of theres a lot of distrust when it comes to washingtons claims and there are not many people are on board and some inside the u. S. Government blaming trump for ceding this distrust the problem is that we are struggling even in the midst of this solid evidence to persuade our allies to join us in any kind of a response and it shows just how isolated the United States has become so what does seem that trump has backed himself into a corner somewhat he has been so vehement in this stance in the Election Campaign the iran is back at the tehran. Nest of evil this cradle of evil now europe doesnt doesnt want this happening europe doesnt it is not engaging in this sort of rhetoric i mean people inside the u. S. Government people in washington. Not on board the blaming trump for that and so really trump has quite a lot and in front of him quite a lot to do if he wants his policy to succeed. Breaking down the story well we asked people in new york what they thought about the potential of military action between iran and the u. S. Can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. It was after one was another war and then another then another you know one thing is another way. To stop. Things open assassinations and bombing other people and we knew about it you could prove it i think we need real proof that some type of activity is actually happening where people are losing life losing land where some type of injustice is happening at the hands of iran but at this point i dont really know that thats necessarily a terrorist attack on you know innocent people you know Something Like 911 happens of course the response is this is necessary and immediate. Is war the answer to that maybe not maybe but i still think personally we should find a different solution besides war weve been through many wars a lot of people have died in doesnt seem to make. A list iran is having my alliance against the whole i think the country maybe can resolve his own issues. Other countries interference i can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope for world peace the views of new yorkers there but we also spoke to an iran based Political Communications professor who say stair run wont kill him to us pressure. Anonymous is that some people in the white house that they would be able to push you down and it would be able to be. Sanctioned. And you wouldnt do much now we know especially after today that. Was wrong you dont is not. Fighting back this is going to upset president obama but hopefully he will be upset that people like john bolton have given him the advice that iran would continue to follow the one so i think trump is understanding that some of the people who. Are not giving good advice and i think their job is in mind because doing it. On a related theme it seems the u. S. Might be opening another front in its International Trade war this time with its ally india you delis firing back as well its impose tariffs on a further 28 American Products some as high as 70 percent it follows Donald Trumps refusal to exempt india from increased e. U. And album minium taxes in the u. S. Last year back then in the it threatened to increase its tariffs to 120 percent ahead of a meeting with his Indian Counterpart later this month the us president s been accusing new delhi of not giving washington equal access to the indian market so want to go on the case you missed the team think of trade in the modern age. How do you launch a war without needing to fight a war in case you missed it the economy stupid. International access to the u. S. Market used to be a bit like dating the rich girl next door when you were a voter 7 was not easy or cheap but in the end it was worth their time for those u. S. Markets are now and 11 at the end stage of a well that the downwind access is now expensive and even if it was worth it you know its going to hurt some people we all know that america has the biggest military in the world just levels the cost of whatever country youre in theres a good chance that there is a u. S. Aircraft carrier staring right back at you so now the u. S. Is a weapon raising its economy in order to fight International Disputes and dominating the market is i. C. B. M. s. Catered to seeing the intercontinental ballistic sanction ready to be deployed anywhere you need it advantages of the i. C. B. M. s include causing misery to entire populations in countries you dont like without firing a single shot collapse the economies of your opponents and then blame the attack countries without actually having to deploy a single soldier and then accuse them of aggression and remember once to pull oid i. C. B. M. s will work for decades with absolutely no effort from you just keep it fueled with a strong dollar to the country very. Traditional just because it was. Running since august rate to use it against the likes of cuba venezuela last korea iran russia you know the bad guys the problem is you cant use them against the good guys which is why i dont know the difference administration has repackaged sanctions he calls. Tiris allow you to target friends like mexico Europe Canada and especially your buddies in beijing because while sanctions are used as punishment tyrants are just a normal part of global trade right the way the us has been using them is no different china has started fighting back though apparently theyve started to prevent the release of American Films this might all have a hollywood ending after all. The in case you missed it squad there we also spoke to editorial advisor from indias republic t. V. Thats an english Language Television channel or she believes theres nothing equitable in business its not a train well its a john think thats what she does i mean he needs to meet these noises you used you know he travels every country hes going to be constantly saying im going to do this and will do at the end theres nothing to do in trade no more than that is anything critical in Foreign Policy the big guys do what they want ok this only stand in the end trade the pay platform is there would be no you cannot come back a country of the American Economy size the Indian Economy all of that going on in the country is the need each other trade means changing with each other this is business as usual. Moving on now to some of the sisters describing themselves as refugees of their twitter accounts suspended after using the platform to the International Community for help the pair who say they have been subjected to sustained abuse at the hands of their father used one of their videos to plead for asylum abroad. My father took the lead and. He is looking for us now. With. So on rights and given nations to only activities to help us move to a safe country. Shortly after the suspensions twitter reinstated the sisters accounts as well as the out of human rights activists who had been supporting them the social media giant hasnt offered any comment on the actions in line with Company Policy the 2 girls have been detailing all miss sites how their parents allegedly abused them physically and verbally sometimes even causing injuries that warranted medical attention there are no in fact in turkey having escaped while the family holiday a human rights advocate we spoke to say social media played a crucial role in helping the girls get their story heard. Its very important that anyone whos potentially at risk to publish their case its going to help them find asylum lucene other instances where girls have just waited too long to get their story out there and thats allowed the family to track them down and essentially take them back to saudi against their will we need to be using social media more often its revolution what allies the way that we can deal with human rights situations like this but at the same time its hugely risky because when we see accounts being suspended we have to question then and what the protocols are to protect people who are risking the situation obviously they need to install more safeguards for situations. The case of the sisters is not unique its estimated around 1000. 00 women attempt to flee the kingdom each year one recent high profile case was that of a home alcuin who tried to flee to astri or via thailand after barricading herself in a hotel room she launched a Twitter Campaign and was eventually granted asylum in canada a saudi diplomat later joked that denying her access to technology might have been more effective than taking her passport. When she arrived she opened a new twitter account and her followers grew to 45000 in one day it would have been better if theyd confiscated her mobile phone instead of her passport but another challenge faced by girls fleeing saudi arabia is a new government created smart for not now it can be used for mundane things renewing passports paying parking fines but also allows male family members to track female relatives and even prevent them from traveling rather sterling again sees that as the number of such cases rises everything must be done to give oppressed women a voice. Over the past year weve seen cases such as say the lety for weve seen a half mama done weve seen hints from the u. A. E. And were seeing more and more and i think that as as each case is quite popular and in fact muhammads case was published and broadcast inside saudi arabia is a step in itself to sort of promoting those more secular secular belief system and the fact that it was since it is quite surprising and therefore that its going to inspire more and more girls who are suffering abuse to really try to escape in and risk their lives to secure the kind of freedom from abuse that of course everybody wants i mean also in these women would like to report the kind of abuse they have suffered to also are a tease within the country as to the u. A. E. Authorities to saudi but theyre not taking seriously and in fact it can lead to the increase in mental punishment or even did by way of ahmed killing. A big question mark hanging over washington is donald trump being kept out of the loop on aspects of Foreign Policy bad ideas being stirred by a New York Times article on cyber warfare which claims us hackers attacked russias power grid a tracker explains whatever actually happened it appears to be a no win situation for everyone. One of the big stories of the weekend america is in the midst of a real cyber war on Russias Energy grid at least as the New York Times puts it they say a number of current and former u. S. Officials told them an american computer code had been deployed inside the grid the grid of the Biggest Country on this planet was it Russian Hackers we kept hearing about all the time make no mistake the u. S. Government has plenty of Cyber Warriors at their disposal within hours of the story circulating the tromp twitter rant began an act of treason thats how he called the n. Y. T. Piece and after the usual metaphorical flushing of the paper down the toilet the president called the report a lie but the New York Times is adamant there saying you are wrong mr president accusing the press of treason is dangerous we describe the obstacle to the government before publication of the story notes President Trump own National Security officials said there were no concerns so weve been left guessing if the massive hack actually ever took place thats a tough one but lot of our putins press secretary doesnt rule out this could have been the case. In this President Trump as far as i know denies the information about Cyber Attacks on russia them up or if indeed some are doing it without informing the president then this indicates a hypothetical cyber war with russia we have previously sent then our strategic and essentially konami spears have been on the Cyber Attacks from growing many times and our agencies are countering these attacks you know to prevent any harm to our economy russia has consistently tried to initiate International Coalition to human to find any type of cyber crime and fortunately our American Partners have never taken a stop on this option to do so this time and in the past to mr pascoe has fallen short of blaming washington for the attacks. But theyve been out there and theres no doubt some kind of cyber war is on again the New York Times with citing government officials without naming them though and so the question is who the hell is making decisions about this potentially enormous operation if the president is really unaware of the whole thing by the way not that long ago the American Media was going nuts about Russian Hackers allegedly trying to screw up the u. S. Power system some feared a true disaster was being plotted by the russians what are they saying this time around its very clear that President Trump isnt even asking to be briefed on the most pressing issues facing our Country Intelligence officials are not comfortable sharing intelligence information with the president of the United States apparently pentagon and military officials who are taking the series actions against russia without briefing the president in full see how no ones using the word hackers when its not america thats being hacked and anyway this could really prove to be a great mass or another dirty game but with both scenarios in this story be it the president knows or the president doesnt rock bottom moscow d. C. Wont get any better. Done little trumps name is plastered across some of the most expensive softer real estate on the planet but no theres this trump heights israel has renamed a tiny settlement in the occupied Golan Heights after the us president to markets appreciation for mr trumps recent recognition of israels claims to solve rinty over the territory now the helmet is aged 30 its got a population of 10 people although israel hopes it will be able to encourage more settlers to move there despite the fun for its unlikely that trump heights will be officially established before the countrys elections in september now the decision is also likely to further inflame regional tensions as with the exception of the u. S. The International Community regards israels occupation of the syrian territory legal we asked historian market should for his thoughts on the move on its implications will be. Usually you name something after a dead person right that is really there are plenty of things named after the dead american president s theres a lincoln street there is a truman village there is a kennedy forest i can name lots of things named after former american president s who are long dead or you generally dont tend to name enough to someone whos living everyone knows that the way to get to President Trump to love you is to love him back or to love him he loves to have things named after him and this was another attempt to show love for president its also a great way of underscoring in the next the israeli election thats coming again very very soon and thats considered a electoral plus for Prime Minister that the fact that hes close to President Trump is considered something that israelis say well why would we possibly want to get rid of Bibi Netanyahu after all hes close to President Trump and President Trump as a present a United States therefore lets keep Bibi Netanyahu as Prime Minister because no one can replace him. She one of those beautiful parts of the planet ecuador has granted the United States permission to use one of its famed got a lot because islands center field but the government in quito is facing a backlash for what critics are calling a violation of the countrys constitution or taylor takes a closer. The Galapagos Islands home to the giant tortoises birthplace of darwins theory of evolution and itll wear you rocked to sleep by the sound of lapping waves and the gentle hum of american planes you know as you know you love those is but ive mentioned that the galapagos for google is our Aircraft Carrier it is our natural carrier because it is shores us permanent replenishment interception facilities and it is a 1000 kilometers from our coast United States is going to take charge of improving conditions especially refueling watches might now find some new star spangled species across the sky because ecuador has just agreed to allow the u. S. Military to use the u. S. Go World Heritage site reports claim the pentagon will now keep planes on the historic San Cristobal island for operations in the Pacific Ocean with the primary purpose said to be fighting Drug Trafficking so far so good thats just a small catch a minor inconvenience really but ecuador in constitution doesnt allow Foreign Military bases on its soil but now if it says the defense minister its not a base passaic its a funny little Gathering Place going to look at the usa meet for periods of no more than a week and is subject to the protocol of the preservation of sovereignty those are my concerns gone also on the plus side washington is covering all the costs but perhaps unsurprisingly not everyone is happy about this latest addition galapagos is not an Aircraft Carrier for gringo use is an ecuadorian province patrimony of humanity patriotic ground that his vessel sole can reach such a level describes very well the government to represent now ecuador and u. S. Relations hit a no no under former president Rafael Correia he im going to washington by closing one of the largest u. S. Bases outside the states relations father soured one craig granted wiki leaks cofounder today in a solemn. Asylum and sheltered him from the long arm of the u. S. Justice department for years but things have been on the up recently thanks to lenin morano whos been in power since 2017 it was miranda who decided that a son should outstayed his welcome at the embassy in london we all know the fallout from that the whistle pro was dragged out by the British Police slapped with 18 criminal counts by washington now faces extradition to the u. S. And potentially a 175 years behind bars now coincidentally or not at the same time acquittals bank account got an almighty boost with a 4200000000. 00 loan from the i. M. F. The International Monetary fund where the u. S. Has huge Voting Rights we all know friendships about give and take so at the end of the day whats a Small National treasure when your allies got deep pockets. As americas trade war with china intensifies around the tech giant while away continues to face scrutiny over its links to beijing everything chinese is now being treated with deep suspicion about it seems has caused a few red faces in the west defense industry. We are celebrating a lot of different versions of many. Very cold by. The way. But the point of the world when you knew that you had your choice. Why wait is something that is very dangerous due to their close ties to the. Chinese government for a potential role in cyber espionage. I think its. Its not a. Bad but its a question of how bad is it. We have been completely in. The role of china and it is only now that people are beginning to wake up what people are concerned about and im one of those have anything with a chinese connection at least it ought to be noted and the risks need to be assessed to have in the world generation strike croft i think is really a cause for concern. Because. If they are inspected repeatedly each stage of manufacture additionally except in p. C. B. Has no visibility or any sense to Program Information and there is limited no risk associated with that minimal role in the program.
