Are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r. T. International and john thomas glad to have you with us. Or 2 congressmen one republican and one democrat have tabled an amendment to block any strike on iran without the approval of congress came on the same day that donald trump posted a threatening tweet against iran. And run a new thing the memory with great fools and some a ruse. To reach all that was trump on twitter talking about possible obliteration in response to iran if they were to attack the United States harsh words well it is interesting to note that recently the United States did come apparently 10 minutes away from a strike against iran apparently there were 3 locations in iran that were to be hit by a u. S. Military strike however trump called off the strike 10 minutes prior to it taking place now that was in response to iran shooting down a u. S. Drone now this drone that iran shot down iran says it was in their territorial waters they were defending the territorial integrity of their country however the United States maintains this drone was in International Waters and that it was an unprovoked attack now its interesting to note that now we have members of congress coming forward one democrat and one republican putting forward an amendment to the National Defense authorization act that would not allow for any funding of a u. S. Military attack on iran without the approval of congress the bill would prevent the president of United States from taking action against iran unless there was statutory or congressional authorization for him to do so this bill has some pretty widespread support democrats like tim kaine are supporting it as are republicans like rand paul and Mitch Mcconnell this is how the legislation has been described. Last week we watched president schoen come within minutes of striking a room involving the United States in yet another trillion dollar war in the middle east present from campaigned on ending costly wars of the seas but given the advisors he chose and his recent risky actions hes not living up to that promise now u. S. President trump was recently interviewed by the hill and in that interview he stated that he did not believe he needed congressional approval in order to take measures and strike against iran this is what trump said in the interview do you believe right now that you have the authority to strike iran without congress i do i do believe that i like the idea of keeping congress abreast but i wouldnt have to do that this is been a longstanding disagreement if you look at recent u. S. History many military actions by the United States in places such as vietnam or libya have been taken without congressional approval been carried out simply on orders of the president now its interesting to note that there has been voices criticizing trump for the potential of a new war against iran one voice was that of mowbray looksee is a republican member of congress from alabama and he said that in washington d. C. There seem to be some forces that are pushing for new wars without thinking about the consequences for the military military families and others who are affected by the decisions this is mobile rocks. There are a variety of political influences in washington d. C. That love it when we flex American Military muscle and they dont seem to care one twit about our men and women in uniform who are risking their lives and sometimes giving their lives all eyes are now on washington d. C. As many voices around the world are deeply concerned about the danger of conflict between the United States and iran we talked to Daoud Khairallah professor of International LawGeorgetown University he says he was constitution is open to interpretation when it comes to declaring war historically. The president has been. Using its prerogative as commander in chief to to have the final say about when to go to war against iran or any to go to the congress is trying to exert its powers exist size its off oddity by the congress especially this congress. Is not known to be that well organized that courageous that consistent. In claiming cheating what it considers its own right under the constitution obviously each one is interpret thing the constitution in a way that is convenient. Or despite widespread fears of a conflict with iran that there are some in the u. S. Who could actually benefit artistically a potential comment. Donald trump and tears on air i dont really remember any other american president squeezing that many out of us t. V. Anchors by whatever he says or saw Trump Administration officials have been sending babies and other young children. I have muslim friends who are texting me tonight saying should i leave the country i have. Been legal immigrants that are terrified tonight his name was private emanuel meant and he immigrated from ghana a country donald trump apparently thinks produces very poor immigrant i am i dont know why the president doesnt know. If they loathed them so much for being inhumane and not giving a damn about peoples suffering the story of how and why the president called off the strike on iran must have warmed at least a few hearts in those studios at least a tiny bit they came in they said sure were ready to go wed like a decision i said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed. In this case arabians they said they came back said sure approximately 150 and i thought about it for a 2nd i said you know what they shut down a manned. Drone and here we are busy sitting with 150 dead people and i didnt like it well those whod been painting mr trump with you know what kind of brush didnt only fall short of shifting their attitude their impression was the usual the president was failing the nation President Trump was being urged by outside advisors not to carry out the strikes we dont know who they are or why he would share with them people not in the chain of command or in his defense circle north korea is watching all our enemies are watching of course assad is watching and for 7 weeks nothing more provocations theres a price to pay for an action and that says a lot all in all it shows gross disorganization in a president who cant seem to make up his mind even on something as important as a military strike on iraq it was then the experts or columnist stern heres a part of the piece that came out in the atlantic magazine the president s reprehensible behavior makes it virtually impossible for him to bring the country together convince it is necessary and on the basis of that support persuade americas to join the fight not much of a surprise to hear that from a former Bush Administration member whose job was to make sure nato allies kept why washington saw it during the iraq invasion although the title doesnt get a mention on the page or heres how a c. B. S. Correspondent was the leading into a thought by a former u. S. Admiral and the channels contributor they have to run shoot down another drone military officers so they intend to be ready to retaliate much faster and with fewer estimated casualties but the final go no go decision. Was to be up to the president we are in an interesting period of this crisis where its possible the president has simply gone back to his military planners and asked for a better option that he might choose to execute any time now or at a later date let me point out though that c. B. S. Doesnt say mr winter filled is on the board of directors of raytheon one of the Worlds Largest arms producers over at n. B. C. One of their experts stated that. Is causing long term damage to the credibility of americas commitment to its allies and Regional Security in the strategically vital parts of the world mr ailey is quoted as a former u. S. Ambassador to bahrain under barack obama but perhaps it would have been worth mentioning another title of his the Vice President of mercury consulting one of the companys top clients is guess who the u. S. Department of defense so maybe that explains the massive gap in perception a poor immigrant whos suffering at the hands of a racist president versus the lives of 150. 00 iranian soldiers special interests will probably always set things straight the media is filled with all kinds of government and industry connected experts socalled experts who actually would benefit from war and and yes the media is very happy to give give them a platform because they all kind of benefit together from a woman and International Conflict there are some sectors of the media that are astonishingly irresponsible and shortsighted when it comes to middle east conflicts they disbelieve in pouring in arms into the middle east into the persian gulf they think nothing of engaging in a military conflict as extremely reckless and dangerous and its pushing the u. S. To the brink of war.

Welcome back this is our Team International now in germany and france are at loggerheads over who will take over from. European Commission President arties peter all over comments. Everything is not rosy in the e. U. Garden when it comes to finding a replacement for john claude younker e. U. Commission president fact were seeing paris and berlin certainly bumping heads over this issue Angela Merkel she has given her full support to her man lunsford the p. P. Candidate for the Commission President job hes also a member of the german chancellors conservative union however. The french president hes not happy with the system being used to put forward mr verver at all he says the whole system is biased in favor of the larger parties worth noting at this point mr mcbride of course represents one of the smaller parties in the European Parliament his opposition to prompted the head of germanys conservative delegation to accuse the french president of being on t. German i dont see a Franco German axis instead i see era vision ist mr mccraw doing everything he can to destroy european democracy well president macron says this isnt the case at all in fact he pointed to the constitution of the European Union which said that he was well within his rights is one of the heads of government of the 28 Member States to oppose whoever he thinks is not right for the job. If munfordville presented himself in front of the european people and they had said we want him to be the president of the commission the no problem no matter what he presented himself as head of the list in germany nice try but no i know how much germans are attached to the constitution and rightly soon we have a european constitution and treaties also which is east treaty say the president of the commission is chosen by the leaders of the council and he is confirmed by the Parliament Just like the germans i love the constitution so we headed for a situation whereby if the 28. 00 heads of government of the. Member states cant agree on one of the candidates thats being put forward its pretty much anybodys guess who will take over from john prodi and co when he steps down on the 31st of all now they try last week at a European Council summit to get a consensus they didnt get well dad is going to be another Emergency Council meeting on the 30th of june thats this coming sunday. What happens essentially is the heads of government they have to agree on who they would like to see be the Commission President that then gets put to the palm and they vote on this if parliament agree that person becomes the next e. U. Commission president however were quite far away from that position at the moment. President trumps son in law has unveiled washingtons latest plan to solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict spoke at a peace conference in bahrain. Economic growth and prosperity for the Palestinian People are not possible without an enduring and fair political solution to the conflict one that guarantees israels security and respects the dignity of the Palestinian People. However today is not about the political issues will get to those at the right time. According to the white house of the project would pump 50000000000. 00 into middle east economies the u. S. Says the move will cut poverty and help life quality and create millions of jobs but the plan also includes some more controversial points which have been leaked by the israeli media washington wants to see the creation of a New Palestine without an Army Jerusalem would be the shared capital of israel and palestine and israel would retain control of jewish settlements in the west bank meanwhile palestinians have some very different ideas on how to resolve the conflict. 1st lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli theft of our Land Resources and funds give us all freedom of movement and control over our borders and space territorial waters that cetera then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy as a free and sovereign people thousands of palestinians have rallied in gaza against the u. S. Plan demonstration demonstrators set fire to an American Flag or American Flags rather and the u. S. President portrait was marked with the words deal of the devil to get both sides of the story we spoke with a former Palestinian Government minister and an israeli diplomat. The main concern is the believe the fact that is bypassing the wishes of the Palestinian People is bypassing the un those are the usual and is imposing the american and israeli reason for peace in which the palestinians will be should used to accept a formula and wish there was no state and they would really just simply be built over the. Last 4 years on the absence of the Palestinian People the put a sunni leadership makes a difficult for any plan to exist where the palestinians were the main part of notice over the event. It is ludicrous for anybody to feel the. Americans are very easy in any way going to be workable trump comes with a kind of out of the box approach this is a breath of fresh air and i think all of us should give peace a chance we should take what is possible now and this. Summit or workshop i think is very important because its going to really enthused a lot of hope into the region and the palestinians need a lot of economic projects and investments we cannot get into a quick solution it has to be somewhat gradual and in order to be gradual i think that economic base is with the help of a lot and then bring in the political arm as well.
