Pompei 0 at the cia Gina Housefull owes her job to pompei o the defense secretary marc marc esper was a College Buddy of secretary pompei oh he really owns this cabin and i think hes the hes the voice to watch thank you very much Hillary Mann Leverett as always great to get your insights as you mentioned the u. S. Plans to impose new sanctions on iran heres what President Trump had to say about that position. Are you will be adding some very significant sanctions dont do a risk and one thing well be announcing it over the next 48 hours well there are many options as you know bill there are many options and theres the ultimate option and their options are a lot less than that and well see where the very powerful position are right now were in a very very powerful position. He now joins us live from washington d. C. She had we just heard president trying to speak about those many options and the extent of their options but there is there any indication of what those sanctions are what form those sanctions could take place. As we just heard from hillary Hillary Mann Leverett what more can the u. S. Do significant announced in the next 48 hours but what weve also been hearing about just in the last few minutes and it is sort of backs up reporting that weve heard over several days is yes military action by the u. S. Is off the table at the moment certainly but what it appears is the trouble ministration has decided to do and this just came out in a wall street journal scoop in just the last few minutes but weve also heard it from other vaguely from other sources too its a trying to build up some sort of International Coalition against iran possibly even to coincide with the u. N. General Assembly Next Week donald trump might compare will be there and make the case that the u. S. Thinks that iran is a bad actor that perhaps the these missiles did indeed come from iran is a great deal of skepticism about that and whether thats going to take the picture will they or the scenario of might bump a 0 showing evidence of the u. N. Security council in a slam dunk amount to about the missiles going drones coming from iranian territory we dont know but that would be pretty pretty rich given in the past when the u. N. Has made these sorts of presentations as with secretary of state powell before iraq and they turned out to be completely false so its going to be a struggle that allies in the u. N. Security council certainly a very skeptical about what the u. S. Says everyone knows that were at this stage because its the u. S. Who pulled out off the internationally ratified deal that the u. N. Security council on on iran and russia actually will be in charge of the of the u. N. Security Council Next Week anyway so i way its not clear how theyre going to make this case but that seems to be the path theyre on right now to try and make an International Coalition the United Nations a coalition of the willing for some sort of. More resolution perhaps against iran obviously after body that the u. S. On the trip of ministration has made it very clear it has absolutely no time for but it has and it was scornful itll be an interesting week next week indeed lets change tack a little here and talk about the new National Security advisor correct me if im wrong here at im counting this is the 4th under trumps presidency what do we know about robert to brian and which direction hell be taking policy towards hes been called bolton lights in the possible thats because he also advocates tough aggressive Foreign Policy around the world where the u. S. Has a big military posture around the world shows its power especially against iran. But thats all there are several either republican or democrat think thats just a Foreign Policy establishment thing Larry Clinton was very much they say hes someone who has worked his way through the system he knows whats good for him hes ambitious hes wanted this job for a long time hes actually been very critical about the Iranian Nuclear deal and the policies even compared it to munich the appeasement of the appeasement of hitler in the thirtys having said that and i think Hillary Mann Leverett was was getting at this as well he is a career establishment Foreign Policy guy he knows whats good for him its the suggestion is just simply that the National SecurityCouncil Position itself the National Security advisor position of so will be much diminished and weve even had reports in some ways that getting trump he picked him because it didnt appease necessarily wasnt a 1st choice of either faction or any of the factions in the white house but he certainly looks the part and hes very very nice at all of trump hes been sucking up to the all in front of his instruct was elected in articles and a few civilian speeches and so on thank you very much. We have plenty more i had this news hour including that. And its. We hear from a South African gang rape victim as the countrys president unveils an emergency plan to deal whats being called a National Crisis its. A battle is looming over a vehicle emissions standards in the u. S. One of a lot of them is one of the books and in japan gets ready for the Rugby World Cup with organizers hoping the events can inspire a new generation of players. So israel 2nd election this year has also failed to produce a clear winner weeks of Coalition Talks are now likely before a new government can be formed with more than 90 percent of the votes counted the center right blue and white party led by benny gantz 32 seats while Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has likud party is just behind with 31 thats in the bloc looks set to control 55 of parliaments 120 seats while gantz and his Natural Partners could have up to 5661 seats are required for a majority former defense minister Avigdor Lieberman may be the kingmaker is calling for a unity government which he says should include the ultra nasty his ultra nationalists and israel bit a new party likud and the blue and white but dances rule that joining forces with look good if netanyahu remains the partys leader are a force that has more from tel aviv. Benjamin netanyahu might be down but hes not out not yet for a meeting with senior members of his likud party he said hed agreed to form a bloc of right wing and ultra orthodox religious parties along with likud as a basis for a new government under his leadership of them there are one or 2 options either a government headed by me or a dangerous government thats leaning on the arab parties at this moment more than any other and in the face of the security and political challenges that are on ahead its forbidden that a government will be formed that is leaning on the and he zionist arab parties the bloc in question would give him 55 seats news really parliament or knesset still 6 short of the 61 needed to form a Majority Coalition its a rebuke to Netanyahu School my ally i think believe him and hes insisted that his party israel data new likud and the opposition blue and white combine to form a secular unity government usual conclusion is clear all that we have said during the Election Campaign is coming true there is only one option a National Unity government a liberal broad government we will not join and the other option. But if netanyahu is refusing as. Clearly is now to join that option where does he get the 6 seats he needs for a government i mean operettas his left wing Labor Alliance temptingly has just that number but he refused again on wednesday to sit with Netanyahu Benny Gantz has said his blue and White Alliance with 32. 00 seats will Stay Together and his secularist partner peed would be unlikely to serve with netanyahu ultraorthodox allies all day with him to be heres what we will wait another day or 2 and wish the people of israel a good and necessary unity government that the system will calm down a little bit and we will move along. Dances own prospects could be improved if a mainly palestinian israeli joint list now the 3rd Biggest Party in the knesset recommends him for Prime Minister it could even be a step on the road to what its leader i am an order says he wants to head the official opposition netanyahu postelection play is certainly no time to carry on making the political weather but in a sign that this is a crisis for a man who in just 2 weeks faces his 1st pre indictment corruption hearing hes also canceled his appearance at next weeks United NationsGeneral Assembly in new york staying home no doubt to focus on Coalition Building but also perhaps to ensure that his likud party stays in line behind him are a force of aljazeera westerners.

President donald trump has shipped california so authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards which are tougher than the National Ones hes also banned the other states from setting similar rules the current law requires automakers to build cleaner vehicles then the federal requirements demand President Trump says the move a lower car prices and likely to impact emissions but californias governor disagrees av the state has vowed to fight this action its about the oil industry period full stop its not about the Car Manufacturers not about consumers its not about the health its not about our economy.

The barrier is impenetrable and is being built at breakneck speed if that up to 800 kilometers will be done by the end of the year during his visit the president said a National Emergency is still in place along the border and that mexico could face tariffs if it stopped helping stem the flow of migrants and plan to build the wall along the Mexican Border has been criticised for its multibillion dollar price tag and the cost to the environment is also being highlighted how do you know castro has this report from texas.
