3:04 am
a ceasefire that effectively will i think play out in the exact same way that we saw events play out in east people to a few months ago and in aleppo but two years ago with the conquest of remaining there in parts of syria by the assad regime backed by its international and regional allies it just confirms i think the worst fears and suspicions of the syrian rebels that they have been abandoned by the international community they've been abandoned by their regional allies and it's just a matter of time before the assad regime conquers all of the remaining parts of syria so it's psychologically huge defeat it doesn't really represent a shift in the tide of the war just confirms existing political and military trends that have been in place really since russia intervened in twenty fifteen or else chemical weapons watched august found evidence coring gas was used in an attack on the syrian city of duma and april a poem an area where by the open seat of the says various coronated chemicals were

3:06 am
worthy of the most powerful man in the world's respect and i think that's very questionable why did we do that when we don't really have evidence yet save for that silly video that honestly a high school student could have doctored about tunnel blowing up as some kind of evidence that that was you know. the north korean administration's denuclearization attempts and that is just not enough they are up to a lot of suspicious activity they continue with it and i'm worried and i think a lot of policy experts are in washington d.c. the trump administration is foolishly playing into his hands various federal court has ordered the trump administration to produce a list of all children under five forcibly separated from their parents at the border with mexico border also requires the government to explain how each of the migrant children will be reunited with their families by tuesday the separation
3:07 am
sparked a fierce outcry in protest against donald trump's zero tolerance immigration policy john hendren as more from washington d.c. . the troubled ministration went to court in california to explain why it can't abide by an immigration court order the court had ordered that you'd ministration had to reunite the parents of undocumented children who had been separated at the border with those children within thirty days but for children under five in there about one hundred one of those you had to reunite them by this coming tuesday ministration was in court explaining he can't do that because you couldn't locate only about half or forty six of those one hundred one children under five there are three thousand children in total were separated from their parents and the administration still is trying to meet the goal of reuniting those children with their parents the judge said the top administration might be able to get a delay if they could produce
3:08 am
a list of these one hundred one children and their parents by five pm on saturday so that is what the administration is looking at but what this means is that the administration did not have a plan to in one throws children with their parents when it separated them the government lawyer said that the government would comply with that order but she would not personally be there for the saturday meeting because she had a dog sitting duties while powers had been meeting in vienna to try to salvage the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal as the first time they have all met since the u.s. pulled out of a landmark agreement in may the u.s. is very imposing sanctions on iran and has threatened to punish countries who continue to do business with tehran ministers are trying to find a way to compensate iran for the sanctions but there have been no breakthroughs so far. the participants in the disappear a reconfirmed their commitment to the full and effective implementation of the nuclear deal they recalled that the disappear way is
3:09 am
a key element of the global nonproliferation architecture and a significant achievement of multilateral diplomacy endorsed unanimously by the un security council through twenty two thirty one the participants welcomed the eleventh report by the international atomic energy agency on the twenty fourth of may confirming that iran is abiding by its nuclear related commitments john hall has more from the. you may recall shortly after the u.s. withdrew from the nuclear deal in may the remaining five powers signatory to it said that they would uphold the deal if iran agreed to honor it and iran said it would as long as they would protect and guarantee its interests essentially compensating it for lost revenue as a result of the reimposing of u.s. nuclear sanctions that begins now with and secondly u.s. sanctions threatened against any company or entity continuing to do business with
3:10 am
iran well i don't think as a result of this first meeting there's been much of a breakthrough either in convincing iran of the benefits of staying in the deal or of coming up with mechanisms to compensate it indeed one big question is whether they can compensate iran for the loss of oil revenue and company investment as a result of those u.s. sanctions i promise the german foreign minister spoke to us a little earlier and admitted they can't. correct the strategy if we will not be able to compensate for everything that arises from companies pulling out of iran which feel they're american businesses threatened by sanctions for companies which still want to invest we would like to keep payment options open and create securities with an extended mandate of the european investment bank due to the u.s. sanctions the situation has become difficult but we try to make clear to iran the completely abandoning the deal would cause even more harm to iran's economy therefore i hope we will move a step further today by making it clear to iran that we will deliver as far as that
3:11 am
is possible so they may not be on the provide full compensation but they are determined to keep iran connected to the international financial system through the swift payment system and investment channels open through the european investment bank among other things it's a beginning these are the proposals on the table the iranians don't seem only convinced my homage to the reef the foreign minister keen to go she ate it in the original deal praised his partners here for their will to resist the united states but he said the proposals were as they stood incomplete the iranian president hassan rouhani had on thursday evening called them disappointing i don't think much that happened here in vienna on friday will alter that view. china has filed another complaint against the u.s. to the world trade organization after the tampa ministration post tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese goods. in washington starting the largest trade war in economic history and pride reports on beijing china has always said it

3:13 am
competitors there will be no winners the question is will there be something lose more than anybody else right now though it looks like the united states is doing the opposite of what it intended it is in essence rallied the entire world against it and u.s. tariffs could ultimately hurt u.s. firms as well as chinese that's because far from being a straight forward take for tatts an easily winnable trade war it's complicated for example some of the chinese semiconductors the u.s. is putting tariffs on use microchips that are designed and made in the u.s. so those companies will also be hits. it's still the u.s. is imposing tirades to punish china for what it says are unfair trade practices and stealing american intellectual property rights but attending a gathering of sixteen central and east european leaders in both gambia chinese
