A 60 percent of brazilian support stricter social distancing measures in stark contrast to their president. And Stormy Weather forces spacex. To postpone the launch that will make it the 1st private company to send astronauts into orbit. The u. S. Secretary of state has the liver to withering statement on china saying its abandoning its commitments to preserve hong kong told me my pompei all says the proposed National Security legislation for hong kong is a disastrous decision and means the city no longer warrants special economic treatment thats a move that puts of risk billions of dollars in trade in this statement said no reasonable person can assert today that hold. Well maintains a high degree of autonomy from china given facts on the ground he went on saying it is now clear that china is modeling hong kong after itself from pale finished with the promise that the United States stands with the people of hong kong as they struggle against the Chinese Communist partys increasing the nihil of the autonomy that they were promised. And that the u. S. Is sending some of the last u. S. Sanction waivers provided in the 2015 Iranian Nuclear deal meaning that russian chinese and european firms cannot continue work at sensitive it rainin Nuclear Sites the secretary of state has issued another statement saying companies have 60 days to stop their tit hes businesses from russia china and europe were allowed to operate to a handful of sites to make it more difficult for iran to produce Nuclear WeaponsPresident Trump unilaterally withdrew from the multilaterally ran a nuclear deal 2 years ago now. Oh i cannot live in washington for an overview of all d of this lets start with the iran and nuclear waiver which were just mentioned more mentioning now what do you think the impact of that will be because of course we all presume this is coming. Its well it is puts an end to any obama involvement in the iran situation President Trump walked away from that joint comprehensive plan of action but after he did so waivers on certain sanctions were put in place these dealt with Foreign Companies operating at the iraq clear plant in particular not what they were doing is ensuring that iran did not attempt to upgrade to Nuclear Power to pass the t. Or Nuclear Weapon ies capacity it was as many in the administration argued a window into Irans Nuclear program and at the time the waivers were introduced after president trampled out of the nuclear deal to ensure exactly that to keep some kind of eye on arabian Nuclear Operations now these sanctions are no longer waivers so 60 days for companies from russia from china and indeed some European Companies to cease their activities there otherwise face some kind of action by the us for breaking these particular sanctions now why it is particularly linked to the obama deal is that the 2nd Nuclear Plant in iran the bushehr plant waivers on that plant have been extended now why this is is because the agreement concerning the Bushehr Nuclear problems was struck before the a bomb a nuclear deal the joint comprehensive plan of action so very clearly here the trumpet ministration focusing on ripping up the last vestige of any mechanism left in place by the obama administration. And my just going back to our top story and that is of course the i guess worsening relations between the u. S. And china over hong kong where the strong words from the u. S. Secretary of state. So saying the u. S. Stands with the people of hong kong is they struggle against the Chinese Communists their party where do you think that leaves china u. S. Relations which of course have been strained are for a variety of issues most recently coronavirus well this belongs been wrangling in the trumpet ministration with regard to its policy towards china might pompei or even before he was secretary of state was very much a china hawk urging stronger action against china now in recent months the Trump Administration continued to maintain that its trade links with china were crucial that the trade deals that it was formulating were very important to both countries economy might bumppo throughout that period was insisting on stronger sanctions now the situation with hong kong is quite simply the secretary of state has to certify at least once a year that hong kong is autonomous from china now without that certification to congress then hong kong is regarded literally as part of china now that is exactly what my compo has done the ramifications of that is that the preferential trade agreement that has been in place between the us and hong kong for generations or now go away such things as preferential trade tariffs things like that are going to have a massive impact on the hong kong economy and most importantly it would appear is a trumpet ministrations signaling very strongly that it is upping the ante against china President Trump has now done a complete reversal from what he was talking about just a few months ago about forging a stronger relationship with china in particular with its president this move now announced by the secretary of state very clearly that the trumpet ministration is retching up some form of action against china and the president has said that he will be making further announcements in the next few days.

Thank you so much for joining us here on out jazeera so 1st of all what is your reaction to this court ruling that the u. S. Extradition case can go ahead. Thanks for having me on so this ruling has been something that i think canada has through diplomatic channels communicated to china to expect. The ruling is as indicated a setback for her lawyers and within china this is definitely a much more than just a case of a one Business Executive acting in appropriately to subvert sanctions this is seen as a piece of a larger scale. U. S. China competition on the technology is that while a is producing and selling and the political ramifications of those products then so you think you seem to be saying that this is the symbolism behind this matter in china i guess almost as much as what the legal aspects of it will be. Correct and in the United States this is also been something that leadership has loot into broader policy and policy interests in china i believe President Trump has brought on one show as a possible. Collateral in some of his negotiations with china so i think at this point. This is only emboldened you know chinas perception that this isnt just a sort of. Conventional white collar prosecution case here because the timing i mean some coincidental but we have the case in canada we have the protests in home call my compares very strong reaction to it and this off the back of course of tensions over the coronavirus and some pretty incendiary language weve heard from President Trump towards the china how would you describe the u. S. China relations right now. Just to sort of circle back on the when joe case this is this is going to be a very very long term. Extradition case these types of cases are typically very lengthy and were still continuing with hearings in canada having said that the sort of the sort of build up of tensions between the china and the United States from diplomatic relations pertain to the coronavirus to escalating tensions in hong kong that this is all happening at the same time could really put even more stress on an already strained diplomatic relationship between china and the u. S. Ray is all the Program Associate at the Wilson Center there institute which looks specifically a u. S. Try to relations madam thank you for sharing your views with us.
