State Department has already been in touch with the Russian government to say that these sanctions will come into effect in 2 weeks' time on the 22nd of August but this was a somewhat delayed decision they were to make an assessment actually a month ago and politicians here in Washington have been putting on the pressure to try to get a real assessment about what happened amid real concerns about Russia certainly the suggestion that they used a chemical weapon on foreign soil after months of fierce and polarized debate senators in Argentina are hearing the final speeches before a vote on whether to allow abortion during the 1st 14 weeks of pregnancy at the same time the Catholic Church has been showing its opposition with a mass held in the main cathedral in the in the Capital One Azeris led by the archbishop of Mario poli the law currently allows the procedure only in the case of rape or if the woman's life is endangered.

News. Many thanks for the latest hello and welcome to News Day and James and shamefully with the of the Smorgon We'll have more on the u.s. Sanctions on Russia in just a moment Washington believes Russia is responsible for the nerve agent poisoning of former Spice or scribal and his daughter in the u.k. So sanctions are coming into effect this half hour and morning it's here as well that great talking point this is now this poll all about which woman is have the most significant and stops on world history will reveal who took that poll a bit later on this half hour b.b.c. History magazine has done it but if you've got to get involved if you'd like to cast your vote maybe didn't the Polish South appy Sea World say this on b.b.c. Africa on Twitter you can tell us who you think is the woman which is how the most significant impact on world history will put your ideas to our guest in about 20 minutes as well. We start with that news that the u.s. Has imposed more sanctions on Russia because it believes the country is responsible for the nerve agent poisoning of a former Russian double agent and his daughter here in the u.k. This happened back in March when Sergei scruple and his daughter Yulia were hospitalized after coming into contact with a nerve agent called Molly chop the new sanctions include exports of sensitive electronic components under the technology is Dr Michael Carpenter was deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Obama administration I spoke to him a bit earlier on and I asked him about the significance of this new round of sanctions Well I think it's significant that the administration in this course they were prodded doing this by Royce the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee I don't think the bite of these sanctions will be all that Stan show but it's good that they're being implemented and it's good that it's sending a message to Russia that there are consequences to using nerve agents on the territory of other countries so these are Jude use technologies in the jargon things that have a civilian purpose but they could also potentially be used. In a military wife things like communications that could include chemicals senses that kind of thing correct although what I have to say you know what I have to point out here is that most likely 98 or 99 percent of the sensitive technologies that might be sanctioned under this approach were already sanctioned by the Obama administration as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine so there won't be too many new items of sensitive technology that are restricted now that haven't already been restricted which is why I say that this action is largely symbolic the way I understood it was that the technologies would ways be reviewed before exports on a case by case basis and that that review just won't happen anymore well there were a very limited number of sensitive technologies that were being approved for export to Russia almost always in cases where they in fact were all that sensitive and u.s. Companies stood to lose big profits as a result of the restrictions I doubt will be much changed to that I think the list will probably be pretty similar to what the list was beforehand I mean this week we saw American politicians in Moscow talking to that counterparts in Russia to try to make some headway in relations between the u.s. And Russia as they can to sit to that ethic does this damage things between the 2 countries Well certainly it creates a bump in the relationship there's no doubt about that but it's frankly ludicrous that we have and the stories like Senator Paul traveling to Moscow seeking some forms of cooperation on issues where frankly there is really no scope for cooperating like for example counterterrorism the notion that the u.s. Would cooperate with Russia on counterterrorism when Russia's partnered with Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah and Syria is is ludicrous and Paul is freelancing here he's doing it a little bit at the behest of probably of President Trump but his effort really doesn't have the backing of anyone else in the u.s. Congress this is. Which held in response to the said Gay script case in the u.k. What sort of message is this sending to European allies to the u.k. In particular and sends America's role and supports on this particular case they may not be particularly consequential sanctions restrictions but it does send a message that violating the Chemical Weapons Convention using the nerve agent you know I guess one's own people or in violation of international law carries consequences and in this case the Congress pressed the administration to impose those consequences and now that's happening it's a good thing and hopefully other countries as they don't have similar laws will consider adopting similar measures at a minimum to punish Russia 1st was really an egregious violation of international law no matter how you look at it from the perspective of murdering citizens on the territory of another country to using As I said a chemical nerve agent that really has no place in the 21st century Dr Michael coffin said he said his deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Obama administration. Know it was one of the deadliest attacks carried out by the so-called Islamic State group of the Syrian more more than $250.00 people from the Druze minority sect were killed last month in the southwest of the country the militants also took dozens of hostages including 18 children as are by route correspondent reports they're still being held hostage this report by Mark patients. It was a surprise ionise attack on a string of trees villages by early morning locals were grabbing whatever weapons they could find and fighting back. But that tackled began ours our layer on the other convert of darkness I asked militants began knocking on doors and then calling people long by their names fairy Sabo Ahmar explains war happen next. My uncle has a daily habit of preparing coffee which he serves to his best but he thought I swear guess he welcomed them with coffee. Then they took him out and killed him on his doorstep for Reese's uncle as well as his mother were among the hundreds killed by the militants but I asked also took hostages including 3 of furry sees nieces and nephews Rafaat liner and Yarrow up are 810 and 12 years old they love football singing and poetry but after one of the hosts the G.'s was executed for Rhys was brutally honest about the chances of them surviving. Sometimes I think there is hope that they come back but other times when I think about this terrorist organization I don't think so. Is Syrian state media was reporting on the army retaking control of the southwest of the country at the height there jihadist to call for vast swathes of Syria like the rebels but largely been pushed out of Terra trait they once controlled but political analysts muck around Rabbi says the Syrian government capitalizes on all your assets tanks to further his agenda it is very convenient at this time particular when people assume that there's an there's a compromise between the Americans and the Russians but such a massacre is perpetrated against particular Jews sending a message to the other communities that even a militant community like the Druze was able to defend itself might suffer 30400 casualties and this is what will happen to you if you refuse any sort of political settlement in the region. Non-man in Sweden taking things into the hands this video shows to ledge and only against militants. Or bringing the hostages. And the families of no one here whether their sons and daughters are still on. Martin patients reporting listening to the news day on the b.b.c. World Service 614 here in London Now we spoke a lot about islands referendum on the issue of abortion back in May there's another vote on the same issue any time now in Argentina this is a vote by politicians how the Senate says they've been debating for hours to 15 in the morning that as you might expect the campaigns have been fiercely polarized looking specifically at whether to allow abortion in. 1st 14 weeks of pregnancy as it stands a terminations is only allowed in cases of rape or when the woman's life is endangered to keep an eye on the debate and the votes as it happens Meanwhile let's hear Lenin the gentleman he said medical doctor professor researcher in bioethics at the Catholic University of Argentina he explained to me why he opposes the bill as you know I'm against their fast low back a chambre of dip it is because this law is not about decriminalization but about legalization or for the best low has no role limits or there are not restrictions to perform an abortion and it's it can be done even beyond the 14th week by request and free it's not only increases the risk for health of the women but also these regards and sometimes medical contraindications medical prescription for abortion on that point I know a lot of the campaign is on the other side would say that by bringing in a change in the law in Argentina it would mean that women don't have to seek care in an authorized illegal places where the camera not be of the highest quality and safety contrary to what probably from people see mortality on account of abortion has been decreasing for more than a decade however our global worked out here it is tied to force part of leading an infection I think then only after having tackled with mystical and social subjects the is. A bushel will change what have you made of the quality of the debate in the Senate tonight I think that. It has. That considerable amount of women decide to stop being record on the run of the fire or what. Consider the right to dispose of at the body I think it's time to debate whether or not abortion is a rights readable for our conception off c. The rights a lot of people might be thinking surely it's just up to the woman to decide Well yes but I think that in other countries it is considered their right to decide but within that in Argentina the life is protective of diverse fertility station at the moment of the conception so when she was to decide she can decide it over here but it but in that case there is another application I mean it's implied the life of other being what if you made of the debate in Argentina the way that this has been discussed you think it's been a constructive debate between people on both sides. Well I think that some tasty bit has been constructed and sometimes not because time to time to debate or storing into. A conversation between teenagers I mean are there days it was stationed in idle wait I think that we have arrived to inflection point I think mostly what is happening right now or no matter do result I think the result will be the rejection of the bill passed by the Chamber of Deputies But no matter the risk Look I think we have achieved an inflection point and we have to start debating seriously some. All the see about women filth about reproductive health I think that it has been a construct the way to a star debating very important thing about all that health Dr Lenin's a gentleman of the Catholic University of Argentina will keep across that debate will hear views from the other side as well and let you know what happens when that vote finally interesting people are still out on the street yeah we saw those t.v.
