ALJAZAM News June 22, 2024

Ten murders a week. We return to a city on the edge. Border batting beyond Donald Trumps visit a sobering check. I just wanted to help him out. On helping migrants cross over. Plus, purge lines. Shaping their experience, and material thats the last thing i want to do walk around new york city. What it means to be a muck limb comedian in america. We begin with the Iran Nuclear Deal. And that may be just as hard for the white house. Secretary of state was front and center before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today. He faces republicans who were skeptical. Libby casey is in washington, libby . I dont know, the team that stood toetotoe with international negotiators hashing out complex details certainly has its work cut out right here at home. Todays hearing was an opportunity to dig into the deal but it was also a chance to score some political points. It was the first opportunity for the chief negotiator to defend his iran deal before congress. The alternative to the deal that we have reached is not what i have seen ads suggesting, it isnt a better deal. Some sort of unicorn arrangement. Involving irans complete capitulation. That is a fantasy. The secretary of state made his case to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Planned by fresh surery secretary. Irans ties are exactly who we must keep it from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. The combination of those two threats would raise a nightmare scenario. Also making the administration case, a Nuclear Expert who sat at the negotiating table. To be clear the deal is not built on trust. It is hard nosed that will limit activities and insure inspections. I can assure you that is not what iran wanted. It is a substantial dialing back. But republicans were harshly critical. I believe. S to able to walk away from this and stay that this is a good deal, is ludicrous. With all due respect you so been bamboozled and the American People are going to pay for it. Republicans question many aspects of the deal, including the time granted before inspectors can access the site, and they denounced the treatment imprisoned americans. Nothing holds them to account. Quite the opposite. The Iranian Regime is being rewarded. Democrats asked points questioned about the deal, but also defended. If you were bamboozled the world has been bamboozled thats ridiculous. And it is unfair. And wrong. President obamas team needs to win over domes con has 60 days to review the deal and if they push a disapproval vote the president can street toe but it will take democrats stand withing the white house to prevent a override. The three cabinet secretaries are said to continue player campaign. With closed door briefings and an appearance before the House Foreign Affairs committee, another panel of republicans are guaranteed to push back against the iran deal. John that 60 day witness has already started. And members go on a month long recess in august, so in the grim you can expect a lot of tough rounds of questioning, certainly more fireworks and more mentions from the administration that there is the best way to ensure a nuclear free. Jamelle is the former chief consistent and senior advisor, in washington again for us tonight. Jamelle, so on the other side, if it is a bad deal, what should replace it. Thank you for having me back. I think what should replace it is a better deal. Secretary kerry said thats a unicorn, but the truth is when you look at this, if they had been willing to walk away, they could gotten a better deal. The most likely the outcome is not war, it is not the europeans walking away without us, they cant do that, it is not even possible. What it is is is iran and then coming back and us getting a better dual. How do you know that . Isnt iraq close to a nuclear weapon, and if you justify them more time you have to a deal now if you dont have a deal, then doesnt iran move ahead and. Well, i dont think so. We have a history to look back on. You can look back and see what happened. In 2010, we saw congress praise sanctions against the administration, against the advice of the europeans and iran didnt break out. And the reason is they dont have a stroll id design, or the 80 to deliver it. So they arent that close . You dont think iran is that close . They are two to three months of break out which means they will have the quantity that duhnt mean they can build the weapon and deploy it. They move ahead with that. They are already moving ahead, it is true we will walk that wac a little bull taw we are doing is buying them time. You are saying ten to 15 years down the road. As long as they have some time and more money, they can walk away from this. What you are saying is they may have the material but dont have the way to deliver it but if we get into this deal, they can make a bomb and deliver and it thats just going to give them extra time. Right because they already know how to make enriched uranium. Based on what question hear, they have not been able to create enough of this material to make a bomb. Right and we are letting them go forward with the advanced and giving them more time, more time for missles all the while sanctions are being relieved, so we have to get a better deal and the only way it is like negotiating for a car, is if you have the ability to walk away, and they have never been willing to walk away. And if they walk away then what . At every turn they have used that fact, this deal has t goen worse since april john. Its always good to have you on the program we will have you wac soon. Appreciate it. Defense secretary ash carter made a surprise visit to iraq today to discuss the approaching assault on rahmad day. Carter sat down with the generals in charge of the campaign, 3,000 u. S. Trains troops are joining the fight for am bar prove sprain, it is the first time train willing be put to the test. Militias will not take part, but some 500 sunni tribesman will. From iraq to the home front in fears of an attack, fb, i director staid he worried about that and considers isil a greater threat, mike. John you are right, the fbi director has been sounding the aarm la, he considering it a growing senate to the homeland, and says he needs new tools to block the message here. But critics accuse him of fear mongering and saying by emphasize the threat he is helping isil and playing into their hands. As a threat to the homeland, has eclipped the group behind the attacks. Isil is not your parents al quaida. It is a very different model and by virtual of that it is the threat that we are worrying about in the homeland most of all. They say it is all about social media enabling to reach what he called troubles souls. That may be receipt i. He outlined the threat to a senate panel earlier this month. They want people to be killed in their name. And they are coming to us with that message with their propaganda and their treaty to action. And that is a very different thing that al quaida ever did. According to them, the f bii has invested hundreds in all 50 states. And to potential isil inspired attacks. But critics call the stance disden genius. I think it is an unhelpful way of discussing this problem, and. In provides the American Public. The different threats or the central. The available has changed the method of operation what isil is able to do, in terms of outreach directly to the American Public is what they can dream of doing. What they are doing is taking advantage of a new tool, it happens to give them access, that we as a three stoat find it very very difficult to block. But about how the technology has changed since 9 11, and the attacks brought a military response by the west. As al quaida has weakened the rise is coincided with the explosion of social media. Still they say the rhetoric is misguises. These fear mongering comments about isiss use of social media and the internet you can find back in division, 2007, 2008, can talking about al quaida. They point to differing goals of the group, al quaida has been intent on multiprongs attacks. In terms of isil wringing the fight to america, i am not sure that thats part of the plan. As it pushes up against shia groups they may be searching for ways to maintain momentum by instating attacks. And john critics point out that handing the gun back door keys may pose a Security Risk in and of itself. May say look no further than the o. M. M. Breach, where the data of 20 million americans was exposed. Request you give me some idea, why he has chosen to make this statement. Not exactly what that locution for symptom weeks now. As we said in the piece what he is campaigning for both from congress to give him permission or to do it unilaterally, was a back door keys keys to this Encryption Technology. The government is flying behind. They can see when isil and others are making contact here in the United States. And directing them zolac sites are the Encryption Technology blocks the fbi and other Law Enforcement ability to see exactly what is going upon, he stays they are thwarted hundreds of apacks over the course of hundreds of investigations zoo disrupted several attacks just in the last few weeks. All right mike, thank you very much. Turkey has agreed to allow the military to use that key air base. The turkish government authorized the strikes today the move comes after a surge in isil violence near the border syria. The u. S. Air force has been using the air base for drone strikes against isil for months. Mike loy i dont knows is Al Jazeera National security contributor, he joins us tonight from newton massachusetts mast, how significant is this . It is a game changer they will be able to make manned aircraft, and using drones that will now operate 24 7 and be able to respond quickly. They are making what the risks. You know, the risks are low, and i i think thats probably why they are doing it now. We all argued for it back then, i think the reason why turkey did it is they news the risks were lower they cant necessarily respond like it could have a year ago. So i think that was part of the equation for poping up this front as you know, there have been many complaints and, anger about drone strikes that missed. No question. And the fact that we took a phone strike, and the leader out last week, for example tells me we have better intelligence on the ground. So we are getting information there on the ground you combine those with the air strike. You have now a much more powerful response tool we didnt have before. What does it say about turkeys regime, and where they stand for or against isil. Quell i think this is still about the asaad regime, and the fact that this will force the obama administration, at least have something to thanked over, it readily admits it doesnt have anything. Now in this case if turkey has agreed to do this, down the road, if United States gets more involved, that will be the pay back. This is a dwayne do you think this is a win for the obama administration. No question. The fact they were able to convince turkey to do this, become more part of the coalition, flying symptom of these missions along marry border, this is something that general joel an len had been involved with, this is a win for him, he is the guy that is supposed to be putting this tot. This is finally coming to fruition. Live an anthrax spores shipped around the world for more than a decade, that was the finding of a report released today. Investigators point the finger at a single lab. And said red flags there went ignored. Jaime. This report from a special commission which has been investigating the shaping of lye an flax around the world lays out what is call add shocking series of failures. It steams to blame the plaquing knowledge dealing with deadly anthrax that does not mean that no one will with held accountable. Stern weeks after he promised total transparency, Deputy Defense secretary bob work was back at the same a lecturn, pronouncing himself shocked of what the initial investigation concluded. This was a masstive institutional failure with a potentially dangerous bio toxin. Investigators found that one facility, the armys dub way plewing ground, was drowned zero. The only lab whose protocols failed to kill the anthrax and whose testing procedures failed to detect the problem before the live stores were shipped out for research and testing. Its key end fooing there was insufficient Technical Information there the Scientific Community to develop effective protocols. Francelation scientists dont know enough about an flax. There is no National Standard at all, can for or any standard to guide us in the preparation of an activated spores they just do not exist. But the pentagon is troubled by the fact that only doug way standards failed to neutralize the snores all the samples it tested positive came from there, no other labs had a problem. The pentagon said there were red flags. The thing that stood out for us is a fairly large Poor Organization purposed out to be positive. The army will now begin an investigation as to whether theres a failure or anyone was negligence, and should be fired or disciplined. The one protocol that did work, the one that required that anthrax samples be shipped in tiny doses and only in liquid form that cant be inhaled. That means they were so mine newt that even if someone were exposed they wouldnt get sick, and it is for that reason that despite following flawed procedures for 12 years no one ever contracted anthrax. Jaime mcintyre, thank you. Coming up next, what a preliminary autopsy says about the woman who died in a texas jail after being pulled over in a traffic stop.
