Assistance also a former trump advisor steve bannon pleads not guilty to defrauding supporters of a campaign to help build the wall along the mexico border. And malis military promises a quick transition of power the United Nations condemns tuesdays. So the United States is demanding u. N. Sanctions be reimposed on iran saying teheran has violated the 2015 nuclear deal the request to the Security Council begins a 30 day process that could cause a socalled snap back of sanctions u. S. Secretary of state might pompei as the sanctions would stop iran from enriching uranium or to purchase weaponry. Our message is very very simple the United States will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons the u. N. Sanctions will continue the arms embargo. Im pleased to say to that these restored sanctions will also reimpose accountability for other forms of iranian line activity that the authors of the nuclear deal foolishly downplayed iran will again be prohibited from Ballistic Missile testing iran will be back under sanctions for Ongoing Nuclear activities such as the enrichment of Nuclear Material that could be applied to a Nuclear Weapons program the deficit the u. S. Withdrew from the nuclear deal 2 years ago and irans Ambassador Says because of that the u. S. Has no legal right to reimpose sanctions according to conclusive legal facts the u. S. Is not a participant and has no right to call this not and isnt on its arbitrary interpretation of resolution 2231 not change. The last of the film conviction that the letter sent by the u. S. Today to the Security Council president all references very in is not envoy and has nor do you understand. Chris and so that means that the u. N. For us and kristen what will happen now the u. S. Is making a lot of noise about this pushing for sanctions but if the iranians point out they are arguably the ones who violated the deal by leaving it. Yes essentially we have a stalemate in the u. N. Security Council Secretary of state mike. Made the case that its an enormous mistake not to reimpose an arms embargo on iran he says claims that every country hes spoken to agrees with them on that fact with the possible exception of iran and he rejected the argument that because they withdrew from the deal that they dont have standing or right to react to trigger the socalled snap back provision that would do that that would reinstate these sanctions but he is and the United States is very isolated in the Security Council not just by the russians and the chinese the russians perhaps have most vigorously made the argument in support of irans case that the United States does not have standing with the agreement and cannot make this decision but also the traditional allies of the United States in the council the europeans germany france the United Kingdom they didnt speak publicly but they issued a statement saying that that they cant support the United States unilateral move because they want to support the International Nuclear deal that they put forward and that everyone has agreed to so off camera speaking to other diplomats here at the United Nations were being told that really no one has any intention of following the u. S. Is commands on this matter that there are no plans to implement the snapback as far as other countries are concerned whether or not they actually would sell weapons to iran is a whole other matter the United States has threatened sanctions against any country that tries to do these deals with the ron certainly i dont think the europeans are about to enlist in arms trade with the iranians that said they are not going to follow along with the u. S. Demands here as far as theyre concerned nothing will change the j. C. P. O. A. s still in fact. Christian so let me with that update from the u. N. Thank you kristen as christine mentioned it is germany the u. K. And france who have rejected the u. S. Move theyve said they remain committed to the nuclear deal in a statement 3 countries will in themselves the 3 said they will continue to preserve the processes and institutions which constitute the foundation of multilateralism we remain guided by the objective of holding the authority and integrity of the u. N. Security council we call on all members to refrain from any action that would only deepen divisions or that would have serious adverse consequences on its work core emails with us now in washington chairman of the American Defense council an expert on middle eastern Foreign Policy korea as i read that statement all i think is that the u. S. Is going to get no cooperation from those other countries is what is the point of it pushing quite so hard for something which it seems legally and diplomatically its not going to get anywhere with. Well thank you so much for having me today while i understand that many will view this as u. S. Defeat and or an iranian victory the reality is that this is really a defeat for the u. N. Security council i mean their primary job was to uphold security peace and prosperity within the world we know that iran is the largest state sponsor of terror we know that on numerous occasions between 2016 and year 2019 that there has been seizures by the u. S. And allied forces of weaponry and Ballistic Missile parts that are intended for the who these 2 little eyes from yemen to attack our allies that the saudi aramco attacked the International Airport that was attacked and bear in mind that former general secretary of the u. N. Bombing ki moon and even the terrorists has acknowledged the fact that these could be potential violations so i think that the u. S. As a 2015 j. C. Theo way or u. N. Security council 2031 signatory still has the snap back measure under paragraph 11 but based on the fact that these violations a place prior to 2018 the korean left the deal this is the thing how can the United States dumonds. Changes or the snap back as they call it on a deal which its no longer a possible. Well the reality is that the events that took place bear in mind that the reason the United States hadnt you know decided to leave the j. C. P. O. A in 2018 is because they feel very strongly that theres been violations committed by iran and the parameters for and if the you know its very much like the i. N. F. Treaty if the you know other party was not going to hear to the program then what was the point remaining him play. Do you think that these other countries the likes of germany france and the u. K. Of one eye on november and are actually thinking well we need to actually see what happens in u. S. Politics given that joe biden has talked about rejoining the disappear way yes of course anytime you have a major election in the United States or otherwise i think that always plays a factor into it but i think that again they should keep the are on the ball which is we know that through iranian proxy militias whether that be its have hezbollah in iraq whether it be has blown levanon the who these young men or even some of the malign activities that were seeing within their own regime that you know these pose a grave threat to the middle east and to the region and so i think that the u. N. Security council again has an obligation to do the right thing to help with peace and prosperity cornells from the American Defense council thank you for joining us do appreciate it thank you so much for having me.

U. S. Democrats are getting ready for the final and most significant day of the partys National Convention president ial nominee joe biden will outline his policies and Campaign Agenda during his virtual address wednesday of course okama harris accept the Party Nomination for Vice President the 1st woman of color to be the v. P. Candidate of a major party also former president barack obama broke president ial tradition by filling his Convention Speech with a scathing breakdown of Donald Trumps performance in office his alan fischer in wilmington delaware where that speech will be given today. Alan you know today we will be mostly talking about joe biden it is his big day but i almost feel like president obamas big speech yesterday had the potential to overshadow it. And certainly the thing that most people been talking about on the american t. V. Networks is certainly dominated the front page of many newspapers it was just sort of startling so unusual that a former president would attack a sitting president in such terms. 16 barack obama addressed the Democratic National convention and said look we have democracy but youve got to want it youve got to care about this and what he was saying in 2020 is we are losing this and you have got to be very careful where you cast your vote but you have got to get out and vote so it just for a different backdrop weve been at the white house for the last 3 nights were actually here in wilmington delaware thats the chief center where joe biden will deliver his speech of course we should have been in milwaukee where the d. N. C. Was due to take place but of course because of covert everything was moved virtually but still theyre going to have a few people here at the chase center well minton being the place where joe biden has essentially called home throughout his entire political career although he will tell you quite often and probably in this speech that he is indeed a son of pennsylvania and not only are there people here to support joe biden and there is a stadium not far from here that has been converted essentially into a drive in Movie Theater where people can come in their cars and watch the speech on the big screen but weve also got a handful of donald Trump Supporters we to my left here who are criticizing joe biden and weaving flags and suggesting that theres going to be 4 more years just as a matter of interest of the supporters that are standing over to my left very few of them are Wearing Masks to say broadly theyre just go back to the idea of the Virtual Convention its its kind of worked as and it i mean these events are usually very big and lots of cheering and the whole and all that but its felt will focus this time. But its going to be perhaps a template for the future maybe not completely maybe not always virtually but weve normally have 4 day conventions used to be 5 the came down to 4 perhaps this will no be 2 maybe 3 and paris and i think the rule call vote which we talked about at length on on tuesday night is certainly going to be a standard feature in the future where they went round every single state with a lovely backdrop or an interesting character to cast the delegates votes and it has been more focus so often we see these conventions run past their floated time normally theyre meant to finish i live in a clock and people say why 11 oclock well here in the u. S. 11 oclock on the east coast tends to be when local news kicks in thats when a lot of local t. V. Stations make their money so that is why 11 a court tends to be the cutoff the run over here but not as massively as they have in the past and also they can edit the speeches down into keep keep people tight what we expect in from joe biden well the topic for this evening is American Progress hes going to talk about how he can shape the country and we got a taste from donald trump just in the last couple of hours with a Campaign Speech in pennsylvania where he was saying look if the democrats win this election theres going to be a lot of can
