Socalled magnisky sanctions. What are those and why does putin care about them . Bill broader lawn unched a Worldwide Campaign to slap those sanctions on russia. He will make sense of it all. From President Trump to president washington. Our two nations are joined together by the spirit of revolution. Americas special connection to bastille. Heres my take. The latest revolutions about russia and Donald Trumps campaign are useful because they might help unravel the puzzle thats been at the center of the story, which is, why has donald trump had such a benign and favorable attitude towards russia and vladmir putin. Its such an unusual position for trump that it begs for some kind of explanation. Unlike on domestic policy where trump has wandered all over the political map. On Foreign Policy hes had clear and consistent views for three decades. In 1987 in his first major statement on Public Policy he took out an ad in several newspapers that began. For decades japan and other nation vs been tas have been ta advantage of the United States. This is trumps world view. He has never waivered from it. Hes added countries to the roster of rogues most recently china and mexico. He wrote in his president ial campaign book, theres people who wish i wouldnt refer to china as our enemy but thats what they are. Someone skeptical and hostile to other nations and their leaders who believes in a fortress america that minds its own business and if deserved bombs adversaries and retreats wback o homeland. This is trumps attitude toward the whole world except russia. Trump began praising the country and its leader ten years ago. Look at putin. Whats going on over there. Hes doing great job in rebuilding the image of russia and also rebuilding russia period. Trump so admired putin he imagined the two of them had met making some vasriation of that false claim five times in public and down playing any criticism of putin. Youre saying he killed people. I havent said that he seen in 2015. Have you been able to prove that. When confronted on it this year he dismissed it saying. We got a lot of killers. You think our kcountry is so innocent. He said at a news conference. Theres nothing i can think of that i would rather do that have russia friendly as opposed to the way they are right now. His initial actions all seem to follow up on this idea. He appointed as a top Foreign Policy advisor, michael flynn, he announced prorussian leanings and paid by the russian government. Manafort received millions of dollars from the prorussia party in ukraine. Once elected he chose rex tillerson, a man who had been awarded one of russias highest honors for foreigners and had a close relationship with putin. There are repeated contacts between members of the Trump Campaign and families with key russian officials and nationals which appeals to be unique to russia. Its possible there are benign explanations for all of this. Perhaps donald trump just admires putin as a leader. Perhaps he is born into his Senior Advisor world view in which russia is not a foe but a cultural friend. Perhaps there is some other explanation for this decade long fawning over russia and its leader. This is the puzzle now at the heart of the Trump Presidency that bob mueller will undoubtedly solve. For more go to cnn fareed. Com and read my Washington Column this week, and lets get started. Friday was the twoyear anniversary of the iran nuclear deal, july 14th, 2015 is when iran came to terms withchina, f germany and the uk on limiting its program. It was day many thought would never be reached. Some nay sayers say it never would have been reached and iran is not in compliance. President trump is expected to certify that iran has done just that. Remember, this is the deal he threatened to rip up calling it the worst deal ever. He said dismantling it was the number one priority. Joining me is javad zarif. Pleasure to have you on. Good to be you. Four senators including marco rubio and ted cruz wrote a letter in which they said iran is not in compliance with the deal and they argue youre still akw acquiring Nuclear Materials youre denying the inspection body access to the facility and operating more centrifuges than allowed. What is your response . When we negotiated the deal we decided to make it the only accepted body to monitor the implementation of the nuclear side of the deal. They have verified seven times now that iran has implemented the deal faithfully, fully and completely. Unfortunately, we cannot make the same statement about the United States. The United States has failed to implement its part of the bargain. Specifically, what . For instance, when the white house made the announcement a couple of days ago that President Trump used his presence in hamburg during the g20 meeting in order to dissuade leaders from other countries to engage in business with iran. Thats not a violation of not the spirit but the letter of the nuclear deal. I believe the United States needs to bring itself into come plien compliancecomplying. What about the german intelligence reports that say theres Still Nuclear bas acquisition taking place . Iran has comecomelied. The deal was not prevent iran from its nuclear program. The deal is clear. Pelied. The deal was not prevent iran from its nuclear program. The deal is clear. Lied. The deal was not prevent iran from its nuclear program. The deal is clear. I believe it was the realization that a knowledge that was had been acquired by iran domestically and through the work of our scientists could not be taken away from iran and the best way was to have it hon t monitored. A lot of people wonder about this period and say this is just a pause. Once that period is over iran will begin a Nuclear Weapons deal. Iran has made it clear it does not have a weapons program. The iaea verified the possibilities of military intervention was unfounded. Iran has a very clear track record. Iran was a victim of chemical weapons. Iran has had the capability but decided not to go in the direction of producing weapons of mass destruction. We believe not only are they against our ideology but they do not augment our security. We believe that Nuclear Weapons would be a threat to our security and asking for our security. Twith regard to the war in yemen wu also more general ly hs be too friendly to iran. What is your reaction . Its a misplaced and misguided policy. We know where the terrorists are coming from. We know those who attacked the World Trade Center where citizens of countries in the region. I can tell you none of them came from iran. None of the people who engaged in acts of terrorism since 2001 came from iran. Most of them came from u. S. Allies. Its bringing sump a dark page of people who have nothing to do with this into our region. None of them have anything to do with iran. All of them receive not only the ideology, weapons, arms from others who call themselves u. S. Allies. Were going to have to talk a lot more with javad. Well talk more about trumps middle east policy. The wars in syria, yemen. Ask him about iraq, all of that when we come back. This is what its all about, jamie helping small businesses.

Order your kit now at ancestrydna. Com. We are back with irans foreign minister. Theres so many hot spots in the middle east. I dont know which one to start with but lets talk about syria. Iran is syrias closest ally. You have sent malitias in. Theres a large part of syria that will not accept an Assad Government. Theres still huge parts of the country he does not control. On the other hand they do not have the strength to topple that government. Whats the solution that allows very large groups that semem opposed to the Assad Government and the reality the Assad Government does control 12 million people. Let me say our policy with regard to syria as well as iraq and afghanistan and elsewhere in the region have been consistent. We oppose terrorism. We oppose extremism and come to the support of aid and government who continue to support terrorism. We did that in afghanistan in the early part of the century. We came to the support of the iraqis in order to prevent an isis take over. Were doing the same in syria. You do not regard any of those forces fighting the Assad Government as legitimate Opposition Forces . There may be legitimate forces in syria. Thats why in 2013 a few weeks after i assumed office, i presented a fourpoint plan which later became the basis for resolution 2254 of the security council. Those four points are in order to be realistic and in order to move forward rather than get bogged down in an unnecessary debate that will only prolong the conflict and prolong the killing and the pushing people into homelessness, we need to get real and get to the bottom of it. First, a ceasefire. I believe we need a ceasefire. We all need to engage in efforts to bring about a comprehensive ceasefire except against those groups that are considered as terrorist organizations that would include isis. Second part of our plan and with ceasefire comes humanitarian resistance. The situation is di astsasterou syria. The second part was a National Unity government. A government that would include the current government as well as those opposition people who are concerned about the future of syria and want to participate in a Better Future for syria. The third part of our plan was constitutional before. So the per powers of the govern will not be concentrated in one office, in one institution. People would feel they have part of the state in the future of syria. That would bring everybody in a nonzero situation because you will not be able to resolve zero sum games. They end up producing negative outcome. And then elections. And then elections. Will it switch hands if this happens . People should stop putting conditions for the syrians. The syrians need to believe that. People who are running the government will not be reelected. If the constitutional reform removes all the power from one office, you may not be concerned about who is the president because you will have other offices. Ive got to ask you so many other. Yemen. Theres reports that iran is escalatie ining its response. On yemen before the war before the senseless bombing, everybody was hoping to be finished within two weeks. We propose an end to the conflict. We believe the only way in all these conflicts, we only need to accept in reality one sentence. There is no military solution. Obviously, some of your allies in the region, some u. S. Allies in the region want to win militarily until the last american soldier. Thats problem. Until the last american soldier. You understand television, you have 30 senconds. The iran key foreign minister says iran dominates iraq. People say the United States fought the war but the iran has been the greatest beneficiary. I sure the person who wrote that New York Times article picked up a sentence from my friends statement. Iran has been on the side of the iraqi people from the very beginning. That is why we have come to the aid of the kurds. Iran was the first country. He asked many to come to the assistance and the country that came to the assistance immediately was iran had it not been for our assistance and not for the very brave struggle of the kurdish people, it would have been falling to isis. Had it not been for the brave struggle of the iraqis. We came to the assistance. We chose the right side. Our neighbors chose the wrong side. They make all the wrong choices. They supported isis. They supported extremist in iraq. Came to the assistance of the people and now is accepted by the people of iraq and they can continue to quote, misquote politicians in order to create misunderstandings but i think that article youre referring to in the New York Times does not stand any factors. I dont know how it got to be printed. It was flattering toward iran. Always a pleasure to have you on. Thank you for doing it. Come back. Next, we love being interconnected. Theres a huge downside. Well till you about it when we come back. Fotheres a seriousy boomers virus out there thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it.

By the early 2020s the internet of things will consist of 50 billion objects usie inin billion senators to collect every piece of imaginable data every second of the day from our cars to our refrigerators to our doorbells to devices implanted into our bodies from the shoes on some peoples feet to the lightbulbs in their lamps. Each one can be sending information back and forth to the Super Computers in our pockets, to each other and to the cloud. Heres the bad news. Now that all these computerized devices are interconnected, weve become much more vulnerable and the dangers of abuse have become greater. This internet of things can shatter our privacy, steal from our wallets and threaten our lives. If a country like the United States cant protect from hack attacks how can you connect your interconnected fridge from hack who are can then get into your bank account . Look at what happened recently when ransom ware locked up hundreds of computers around the world. Hospitals were crippled. Banks are often the main targets of cyber criminals. One example, back in 2016 cyber thieves allegedly using a flaw in the computerized systems that banks use to talk with one another attempted to electronically steal almost 1 billion from the bangladesh central bank. The hackers got away with transferring 81 million out of the bank for being stopped. Jpmorgan chase sent 600 million in 2016 on Cyber Security up from 200 million in 2014. At a Security Summit in 2015, the head of ibm said cyber crime by definition is the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world. According to one 2014 estimate the annual global cast of cyber crime was 375 billion. That cost could balloon to 2. 1 trillion by 2019. Not surprisingly cyber crimes also represent a measurable percentage of gdp. In the u. S. Its. 64 . In the netherlands cyber crime account for as much as 1. 5 of the gdp. In germany its 1. 6 . Back to all of those internet connected things. Love the idea of sitting back and relaxing while your selfdriving car takes you on your next appointment. Back in 2015 independent security researchers working with a magazine reporter hacked the dashboard compute over a Jeep Cherokee from a laptop ten miles away demonstrating a software as a ruvulnerability n have, they forced the jeep to drive into a ditch. Hold on. It should be noted that jeeps Parent Company said theres not been a real world incident of a hack into any of the vehicles. The demonstration was able to show the potential now exists for hackers or terrorists to remotely disable a cars brakes, lock the doors and steer passengers right off a cliff. In our rush to connect everything, we have create add monster that is waiting to take advantage of a broken line of code or a missing software patch. The interconnectivity of the web has made it too easy to let cyber criminals into our homes, our cars and our bank accounts. We need to find some sort of balance between access and security and until that happens hackers will be seeking the next opportunity to digitally wreck havoc with our physical world. Well be back in a moment with Brill Browder who was once the largest investor this russia. Hes at the center of
