R. G. C. Putting the satellite into orbit gives us a technological advantage and its also a powerful asset in the intelligence war.

Has bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly how come for more on mike compiles comments as well as of course those tweets from the u. S. President from threats to to hit iranian boats to punish iran for launching a satellite sounds like were heading for another major deterioration well theres no question that this is an escalation and the department of defense has also been briefing in the last hour the deputy secretary of defense David Norquist telling reporters that the u. S. Has the right to selfdefense that iran needs to be careful of its interactions because if the United States sees a hostile act it has the right to respond including with lethal force the certainly would act of the statements by the u. S. President on twitter earlier where he vowed to shoot down and destroy an iranian gunboats if they herat harass u. S. Ships at sea as these statements have been echoed by a strong statement in the last hour coming from the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o a designated terrorist organization launched a missile today. And leave to the part of defense to talk about the details about that but when you talk about the Un Security Council resolution 2231 i think every nation has an obligation to go to the United Nations and evaluate whether this Missile Launch was consistent with that Security Council resolution i think it remotely is and i need i think iran needs to be held accountable for what theyve done now the department of defense was not specific as the u. S. Secretary of state said that it might be regarding how things could play out moving forward in fact all we know is that the department of defense says will do what is necessary in order to keep the American People safe but they are following up with these words of caution to iran saying that the president s tweet should be taken seriously in there were so this is a warning to the adversary all right thanks so much kimberly how could that the u. S. Secretary of state has also commented on israeli plans to annex the west bank might pompei i said move is a decision for the new Israeli Government to make were glad that theres a now fully formed government in israel as for the attic session the west bank. Theres relief will ultimately make those decisions as thats an israeli decision and we we will work closely with them to share with them our views of this in a private setting when they do it brahimi is standing by in ramallah but 1st lets go over to harry forces in west jerusalem getting any reaction to these statements from the u. S. Secretary of state that where you are having. No official reaction yet i mean it is being reported in the local media as breaking news and of course it is a signal from the u. S. Administration that it does look favorably on Benjamin Netanyahu plans as they stand especially given whats taken place in the last couple of days the formation of a unity government between netanyahu and his former rival benny gantz an agreement part of which states that dance does not have a veto over any attempts pretty quickly to annex parts of the occupied west bank indeed the deal suggests that there will be a decision that thats put to the cabinet and or the Israeli Parliament the knesset from july the 1st onward so thats the kind of time sco were looking at as for how pompei as comments play into all of this it doesnt necessarily mean anything huge has changed as far as United States is concerned of course this all stems from the trump peace plan which was unveiled earlier this year and after which netanyahu talked very bullishly about an extension it is a signal of support but there is still this this mapping process going on where theyre trying to delineate between u. S. And israeli officials exactly where israeli sovereignty will be applied that was seen as perhaps slowing down netanyahu has ambitions to some extent but not in any way designed to frustrate them in essence we always knew essentially from the imprimatur given by the trump plan that this was all in the works as long as netanyahu remained in power and now that he has this deal in which he has full or far at sea to go ahead if he so wishes to now that looks like its going to happen thats the view from west jerusalem will have a force that is lets cross over now to ramallah in the occupied west bank and join the. And the that no doubt this will just underscore palestinian accusations that the u. S. Is no longer a balanced honest broker right. Yes and indeed thats why its i mean theyve been asking the International Community to intervene and know that the u. S. To be the sole media of the Peace Process weve heard them again and again calling for an International Peace conference whereby different factors in play or it can a role in the Peace Process theyve been saying that this administration has been fighting by israel and negating International Law with her the crippling pompei would be for say that succulents are not illegal which are considered good on their International Law of course which i think both israeli settlements in that occupied west Bank Including East Jerusalem this administration enjoyed a very close relationship with israel namely between the u. S. President donald trump and the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weve seen moving the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem considering jerusalem the capital the u. S. Has cut funds to the owner one which is the u. N. Agency that deals with the fiji its which was seen here as a way to kind of in the mineta and end the issue of refugees which seems to us also canceled or basically shut down the p. L. O. Didnt present this of office in the field so all of this is seen as. Known to palestinians theyve been trying to convince the world truly see they let you in the crowd see how israel is using the fact that trump is in power to push for more. Deals or push for more an extension on the ground reality on the ground we have to say family might not be different for palestinians they are already living under Israeli Occupation and many settlements enjoy having that they feel one way or another and that its where the little one palestinians living in the occupied west bank live under military so all of that didnt seem out of their reality on the ground but on an International Level it changes the story and they want the world to react to it the u. S. And israel are doing. From the occupied west bank south africas president has announced a 26000000000 dollar covert 19 rescue package more than 70000 soldiers nearly the entire Standing Army is being deployed to enforce the countrys long term theyll join the nearly 2300 personnel already on the streets for me the mirror has more from list of burke a town in the Northwest Province according to what weve heard from the government so far is that there is increasing concern about just how the numbers regarding the number of infections in south africa is escalating and this is what the minister of defense said earlier on local radio the rate at which the infections has gone up you realize that at some point we might need the kind of Human Resource deployed like weve never seen before and so this deployment of more than 73000 soldiers in addition to that initial 2000 would be the largest deployment by the south African National Defense Force in south africas history i mean that even goes back to the 1st im a practical actions in 1904 the government here is concerned about just how bad the infections will get in south africa and estimates show that theyre working on a model that indicates that so theyre free because Coronavirus Crisis will perhaps hear it in august or september the government is saying that they need these soldiers to enforce the lockdown it needs these soldiers to prepare quarantine sites ensure people are abiding by the lockdown and essentially try and flatten that curve head of the coming months.
