Just weeks before the tournament kicks off in russia. Its a dangerous assumption yet to be tested the u. S. Policy of maximum pressure on north korea trump believes that he can force the regime to change its ways for good which the day the u. S. Secretary of state announced what he calls a new plan on iran using the same old assumption and tonight the one assumption that has proven true tehrans rejection of the plan im broke off in berlin this is the day. Gretl be forced to make a choice either fight to keep its economy off life support at home looking squandering precious whopping fights abroad it will not have the resources to do both. Kish right all you posit a good job. Today all Major European Union member countries. Along with russia with china and own major countries of the world considered trumps decision to be against the lol. Any agreement will make sure iran never acquires a Nuclear Weapon we will not repeat the mistakes of passing we. Want out about Foreign Policy we have been successful against conspiracies. But the team were open to new steps with not only our allies and partners but with a rock as well but. The Us Administration wanted to isolate iran. But the a cheap the opposite result pushed the Iranian Regime should know that this is just the beginning these will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history. Also coming up on the day we travel to mexico where an ancient cultures traditions
are still practiced and celebrated among all three genders men women and the. Every year the mushi are rife from all over the region to celebrate their identity in the festival of candles we dress up as women at ten twelve thirteen years of age but we can no longer access a concrete school dressed as women so we leave school and devote ourselves to informal trades such as embroideries stylists six workers. Or we begin the day with a promise by the u. S. To slap iran with the toughest sanctions ever it comes to weeks after u. S. President trump was drew his country from the Iran Nuclear Deal trump called that deal insane or the day us Secretary Of State on paper announced the new u. S. Plan on iran its Twelve Points threaten economic destruction if tehran does not end
its Nuclear Program and its Foreign Policy of proxy wars now while the Irans Nuclear plan addresses solely tehrans Nuclear Weapons ambitions the Neutron Proposal demands a stop to iranian support for hamas hezbollah and hooty rebels but peo says the u. S. Will ask its allies to help but at todays meeting of g twenty Foreign Ministers germany france and the u. K. Reiterated their plans to keep the iranians below live later this week the three countries plan to meet again in vienna with iranian officials to discuss provisions to fill in the us gap. Where here is part of what Secretary Of State pompei zero said today about the plan and the people in iraq were open to new steps with not only our allies and partners but with iran is well but only if iran is willing to make major changes. As President Trump said two weeks ago he is ready willing
and able to negotiate a new deal once this is achieved were were prepared to end the principal components of every one of our sanctions against the regime were happy at that point to reestablish full diplomatic uncursed commercial relationships with iran and were prepared to admit iran to have advanced technology our willingness to meet with kim jong il underscores the Trumpet Ministrations Commitment to diplomacy to help solve the greatest challenges even with our starches adversaries but that willingness that willingness has been accompanied by a painful Pressure Campaign that reflects our commitment to resolve this challenge forever the i told to president rouhani and to other remaining leaders understand that your current activities will be met with steely resolve. And that was he was Secretary Of State from paying out brian hook is
a senior Policy Advisor to mr pompei o today he spoke with our Washington Bureau chief for fun not so mr hu the announcements today and the sanctions do you really believe if that stay can bring about change you expect from iraq well it certainly will bring about more change than weve had in to the jay c. P. O. Way since adoption of the Iran Nuclear Deal iran has actually increased its destabilizing behavior across the middle east and it also has not deterred irans intent to acquire a Nuclear Weapon and so were putting in place a new Security Architecture that we think is going to actually achieve our National Security objectives not just for the United States but for the world. However many experts are skeptical saying that you are telling huron to stop being iran and its rival on the on the realistic that the iran Iranian Regime is going to comply with the stigma and so are they on the realistic well if it won if iran wants to be
treated like a normal nation it has to start behaving like a normal nation and this is a still there is no country in the world that sponsors more terrorism than iran and so much of its terrorism and sectarian violence that it has been fueling across the middle east has occurred during the Iran Nuclear Deal and so we dont think that this is a framework that has achieved the goals that are needed around nonproliferation and also counterterrorism. We have already seen some reactions from iran iranian officials saying that that you goal is a Regime Change in iran so is it your goal no our goal in these of iran is for them to and their Nuclear Weapons program and their Nuclear Program which has the intent to become to achieve a Nuclear Weapon we also want them to stop the terrorism in the violence across the middle east we want them to stop violating the human rights of their own people and these are all reasonable demands so i think that weve become desensitized to
france and the United Kingdom will continue consulting with allies in europe and also in the gulf the middle east other parts of the world this speech today he asked countries around the world who care about the halting the spread of Nuclear Weapons who care about fighting terrorism to join the United States in this historic effort to promote peace. And you come in on that the attempts by the europeans in germany trying to sell that steve you are Iran Nuclear Deal secretary pompei oh said today that the United States has it made its decision to leave the Iran Nuclear Deal other nations who are part of the Iran Nuclear Deal have to make their own decision but the United States has made ours today the secretary presented a very positive vision that was addressed to the iranian people that would give them a Brighter Future and would certainly help reduce the violence in the terrorism that iran is engaging in through its foreign wars around the middle east. All right that
was brian hooks there at the u. S. State department we want to go now from Foreign Policy to Economic Policy to do that im joined by my colleague from business daniel winter daniel lets take a look at this assertion today from pompei where he says that u. S. Economic sanctions will be the toughest ever imposed on iran is that true well there was a lot of fire and fury in his speech but they didnt know he didnt outline any specific new measures which would come into place so the plan is as might pompei or says to really introduce the sanctions which were lifted off of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal and throwing some more on top of that so were talking financial sanctions youre not allowed to fund directly in businesses you know how to do business or otherwise help Iranian Companies but what extra will happen to that we dont know theres no evidence for that yeah i mean a lot of people have been saying today that the really the big hitting things were always the ones that came in combination with the europeans and with the you win so
well have to see the u. S. Secretary of state today also attacked again the way the Iran Nuclear Deal for allowing iran to use what he said western money to fund proxy wars in the middle east take a listen what he said. Every country is going to have to understand that we cannot continue to create wealth for custom solomonic. Thats what this is at the end of the day this money has has flowed to him the economics of permitted them to run roughshod across the middle east our effort is to strangle his economic capacity to do harm to the middle east into the world. So my pump highlighting Kassim Sali Money now hes the iranian army chief whos responsible for extraterritorial campaigns so what like pump a zero here is doing is hes accusing western companies and western governments of putting money into the pocket of the Iranian Military and thats why he says
sanctions a so important to cut off that supply which is helping iran to cause trouble in its neighbor i mean thats quite an indictment to make and apparently the europeans they dont agree with them because they are fighting to use an elven see if the Irans Nuclear deal thats right i mean they see that if this Deal Doesnt Stick then that gives more leverage to the people who were anti American Anti western in the first place in iran now of course the europeans have plenty of Business Opportunities in here weve seen the likes of tal all of the womens mask and so on invest billions all theyve theyve laid out their plans theyve started pouring that money into iran now because of the United States thats suddenly going to be at least theyre facing the threat of having to just throw those deals in the bin and of course theyre not happy. Said once today in his speech just ones that
the u. S. Will work with its allies to make this new plan work i mean what can the e. U. Afford at this moment. To do i mean what can it afford to do i mean can it afford to you know be in a Conflict Course with the u. S. And protect the plant and shield these small and medium sized businesses that maybe are already in iran Doing Business or of course the e. U. U. S. Trade relationship is vitally important talking about Seven Hundred Billion dollars worth of trade so i cant imagine that the e. U. Is going to stand in the way of that but of course the Security Aspect with iran is so vitally important and you know that theyre worried that this. Its going to send out the wrong signals and be a Chilling Effect to development because if you get an economic foothold in iran thats when you can start influencing what the regime does thats thats the European Unions policy and theyre sticking by and can the u. S. Plan can it work without the cooperation of europe and asia it would be extremely
difficult because the u. S. Has the leverage here thats where its very interesting to see how the e. U. Is Standing Firm and theyve introduced what theyve called a blocking statute so that in and theyre making it illegal for e. U. Companies to comply with u. S. Sanctions thats a bold statement its difficult to enforce but they are clearly getting out their biggest political message against the u. S. Sanctions as early as possible then not giving in and trying now what it will definitely be interesting to see where things are especially after the north korea deal thats a separate issue there your winter from our Business Death as always thank you. For tonight italy is edging closer to a new government eleven weeks after the election the countrys populist Coalition Today nominated separate conte as Prime Minister conti is a relative newcomer to italian politics and
a Compromise Pick from two very uncomfortable political bedfellows as the antiestablishment five Star Movement and the far right only. This trophy he made to pick the close relationship between Luigi De Marco and Mateo Salvini but they certainly werent allies during the Election Campaign now the populace leaders of the far right the and the five Star Movement have asked president Sergio Martha Rela to approve their new alliance. Today we can say we are faced with a historic moment i also say this to our International Partners let us begin then you will criticize but at least let us begin first this is perhaps an unexpected government but it has been elected. Me nobody has anything to fear. We want a government that puts National Interests first and foremost as we proposed to italians during our Election Campaign. We will respect everybody who put italy in
the center. The league from the north and the five Star Movement from the south spent two weeks hammering out a programme it calls for the deportation of half a million Asylum Seekers costly Campaign Promises such as tax cuts early retirement and a basic income are to be paid for with more debt. This contract is the heart of the government of change i see many people concerned about the international and european context they have nothing to fear the contract is the will of the italian people who want change. Italys European Partners are alarmed the euro zones Third Largest economy is already among the worlds most indebted countries but the coalition hopes a political novice to separate content will ease the concerns of italys partners the Law Professor has been proposed as Prime Minister the two Party Leaders agreed
on the unknown technocrat as a compromise for the top post now president search. Has to approve the new coalitions choice. Well just weeks before the World Cup Soccer tournament begins in moscow there are new accusations of russian being german journalists have revealed evidence suggesting that russian authorities covered up Doping Test Results for Soccer Players in the countrys world cup squad of the german investigative reporter. Uncovered a State Run Doping Program in russian athletics he says russian soccer now has some questions to answer. The russian Doping Scandal may also extend to the National Football team russian officials are suspected of covering up test results making samples disappear which had the potential to implicate footballers some of whom have been selected for the hosts world cup squad german t. V. Channel a r d has obtained a list containing player names and code numbers of Doping Samples the list is based
on information from investigators and intelligence gathered from a twenty fourteen raid on the moscow Doping Control Board in that raid the World Antidoping Agency wada seized samples with atypical test results that had not been investigated further by russian authorities samples from players in the current world cup squad were among them what we labeled the disappearing positive methodology. Which is the labs mechanism by which they falsely reported results d. Says water also obtained a separate database with atypical test results from almost one hundred russian footballers this information was also passed on to fee for following a request for comment fee for said investigations are under way and they are hoping to report new developments in the coming weeks we asked how these latest revelations could impact the world cup just weeks away. We will know in
a couple of weeks i guess the moment it looks like that if you really investigating at least on. Outcome of the results of a doctor base which has been given from a whistleblower to wada last year in Two Thousand And SeventeenSixty Three Thousand samples from different sports nine talk Nine Thousand of them have been suspicious and i guess. Almost hundred of them are now under investigation and coming from football so we dont know what would be the outcome what we can say we just talk about a presumptive screening which might be doping must not necessarily be doping it cannot also have other reasons but it needs to be. Scrutinized that these to be checked. Nicolas maduro has won but its whalers president ial election in a Landslide Victory he called his win a triumph over the imperialism but Opposition Parties boycotted the election and
say it was not fair or today the u. S. Added its voice to the International Condemnation of the minutes while an election Vice President pence calling it a sham. For Nicolas Maduro and his supporters its a celebration with few surprises another six year term for the venezuelan president who won over two thirds of the vote. Thank you. Thank you for overcoming so much aggression so many lies. Thanks for joining me in so many battles and thanks for making me president. Of victory but a weak one venezuelas Electoral Authority say turnout was forty six percent with the opposition claiming it was even lower my door and faced a few challengers because the main opposition boycotted the election saying it was
rigged some of their most popular candidates had been banned from running. We dont recognize this Electoral Process as valid as having taken place. For us there were no elections no new elections in venezuela need to take place. Oil rich venezuela has been in economic meltdown for most of the doors time in power catastrophic shortages in Food Medicine and other Essentials Led to months of street protests last year which resulted in more than One Hundred Twenty Five dead inflation is at Fourteen Thousand percent. All the while madore has tightened his grip on power but doris says hes defending venezuela from imperialism the election has been broadly condemned by the International Community the u. S. Is considering additional sanctions against the state which would likely further damage venezuelas economy. Who am i to judge five years ago those words from pope francis regarding homosexuality triggered a small earthquake in the world well now a chilean survivor of sexual abuse says that he was the witness of remarkable words from the pontiff also regarding being gay Juan Carlos Cruz says that he spoke to francis about homosexuality during a recent meeting at the vatican he told Me One Carlos that you are gay does not matter and god made you like this and loves you like this and i dont care the pope loves you this you have to be happy with who you are where the vatican has neither confirmed nor denied that the pope made the comments and theyve drawn a mixed response from theologians still Church Watchers say that its clear that
the pope is doing all he can to make gay people feel welcomed and loved in the catholic church. These were remarkably affirming words of the pope to on carlos and in we can stay stuck contrast to some of the official language weve seen from the vatican and rome of the as about gay people but what the pope has done is given what we would call a very postural warm affirming words to one coddles which moves from those famous that famous phrase from the pope to judge to saying to god loves you and i believe he did really believe that he had to say god loves you and i love you the way you are as well. Well sexuality gender and gender roles they have been controversial topics not only in catholicism but there are places where gender norms are different from what you were i you may know in fact so different and
theyve been so different for so long that they are considered normal themselves and that brings us to our next story tonight in Southern Mexico it is there where for centuries a group of people known as i have lived now they are born with male bodies but take on feminine roles as they grow older they do not identify as men or women and they do not describe themselves as transgender either they have been called the third gender. Its friday in santiago neal to pack and diana ross is getting ready to go for a drink with her friends. Both people born with male bodies but here. At home they often take on traditional female roles but theyre not viewed as women either new share often confused as transgender but their identity is unique to the region and cities to be more in other communities move said to be less accepted and
more discriminated against and its said that this region is the new ship paradise when it really isnt theres a lot of discrimination and violence its Still Necessary to work hard to change the way people treat us. Its the application of. The iron inseparable part of this Appetite Culture Life here revolves around family social events and keeping the men Company Despite their long history mexican lore doesnt yet recognize them. Back in society generally except the new share say theres still much progress to be made. From a very early age we identify with our feminine side we dress up as women at ten twelve thirteen years of age but we can no longer access Secondary School dressed as women so we leave school and devote ourselves to informal trades such as embroideries stylists six workers and cooks. Theres a kind of
a Glass Ceiling over our heads where society wont allow us to advance at all. Every year the right from all over the region to celebrate their identity in the festival of candles they wear traditional dress and dance to compete for the title of festival queen. Hacker is an example for the rest of next. If acceptance and tolerance of Gender Diversity may still be a lot of work to do for the people here the existence of a third gender is a way of life for.
