9:05 am
ten years in jail because he was found guilty in april of three counts of aggravated indecent assault after drugging and sexually assaulting andrea konstam in two thousand and four he used exacting skills and. t.v. personality to win over his victims and then keep them silent about what he did to them so now finally bill cosby has been unmasked and we have seen the real man as he's headed off. to prison while the trial focused on the one crime against ms constant more than sixty other women have accused cosby of sexual misconduct spanning decades and after the sentencing many said they were glad he was going to jail i wanted thirty years. on the i'm very happy to know that mr parks we were told was in prison for me is hard for people like you cut out
9:06 am
on willingly. ok good thank you i just said i was just going to show them that they can make it through and that there's just this is being caused because legally blind in failing health and a philanthropist and that is why his lawyers argued that the judge should show leniency and he should be sent to house arrest but it was denied his lawyers plan to appeal mr cassatt the best team is preparing a motion to address mr skilling you falsified anybody with the classic nothing if we did not like to be actually be produced in starting a family friendly sitcom the cosby show in the one nine hundred eighty s. it was about the life of an affluent african-american family and was the most watched television program in america from one nine hundred eighty four to eighty nine the nine hundred sixty five t.v. series i spy was the first american television drama to feature a black actor cause be played the lead role for most of his life as an actor and
9:07 am
comedian caused be paved the way for african-americans and was considered a role model no more his defining legacy will be that he was the first celebrity convicted in the me two era the movement to end sexual violence gabriel's andro al-jazeera new york. well a lot of the janice is with the huffington post she covers gender issues with a focus on sexual violence and she joins us live now from philadelphia a lot of you've covered the bill cosby story extensively for the huffington post and today was judgment day for bill cosby he now faces a lengthy prison term what do you make of the trial and the sentencing briefly you know this sense sentencing was definitely tense two days i think that a lot of people expected him to get much less time honestly so seeing him get at
9:08 am
least a minimum of three years before he's up for a proper probation and to see bill cosby the comedian go out of court in handcuffs that was a pretty big deal and some sixty other women have come forward and accused cosby of sexual misconduct but charges have not been brought due to the statute of limitations do you think the full story hasn't been told here i do think that the full story has been told just in that a lot many many victims have come forward accusing cosby spamming i think the first reported one was one nine hundred sixty two so i do think that many of the victims have been able to tell their stories i do think that this has been given them a platform to discuss their trauma so while i think that there could be more victims out there i do think that this has given space to those who have come forward already in terms of the bigger picture a lot of the cosby trial and retrial has taken place amid the me two movement that
9:09 am
has seen women worldwide come forward to share their stories of sexual harassment and assault but how is this case likely to impact on the movement do you think. well i think we just saw bill cosby as i said you know used to be the t.v. zone dad get carted off in handcuffs i think that this is a great example of the impact and the influence that the need to movement has really created to see him leave the court in handcuffs and to actually spend time in state prison i think that this shows that things have changed the pendulum has definitely swung and just a final thought on that point i mean how significant was the sentencing then in the wider debate about sexual misconduct is it likely to encourage more women to come forward to talk about their own experiences i definitely think it will encourage more women to come forward sadly if you look at what andrea concent had
9:10 am
to go through to get to this day it's not very encouraging she had to go through. two trials much less the depositions before that in the civil suit prior to that so it's not an easy road and that's obvious but i think as we believe women and survivors more and more and we see outcomes like cars be today more people will be likely to come forward in the future janice thank you for talking to al jazeera. now the head of the i.m.f. christine lagarde says her organization is close to a deal with argentina over emergency funding the government of the country's central bank resigned on tuesday after just three months in the job lisa caputo leaves a time of crucial talks between president government and the i.m.f. argentina has already battered currency the peso dropped in value just after the resignation on tuesday unions held a nationwide strike to protest over the country's economic crisis. britain's main opposition party is now officially backing a second referendum on brags that the labor party adopted
9:11 am
a motion move that its annual conference and says if it can't force a general election it must support all options on the table while the party has already indicated that it will vote against any breaks that deal prime minister to resign may reach is with the e.u. wants the reports from liverpool. if you like three cheers. for the true believers in the current labor passim this is the must have a conference never mind that their leader jeremy corbin has only a lukewarm relationship with the european union criticising it in the past as a capitalist club convincing him to defeat bricks it is everything now the labor party the democratic party well it's becoming a more democratic party and i think the leadership will accept. the voice of the members. about democracy and actually the call for a new referendum on breaks it is also about democracy labor membership has boomed
9:12 am
under a philosophy that says the wider the wealth gap in britain the harder you have to fight back until now this unrepentant socialism has maintained a deafening silence over bricks it but no longer over the course of this week the labor party has unveiled a whole theft of eye catching aggressively position policies in favor of redistributing wealth to working people things like putting workers on company boards re nationalizing case services that sort of thing and every single one of them could be achieved without the u.k. having to leave the european union. heads. so labor is now offering two things at once first a vote down any deal the government comes up with in parliament on the grounds that it will be economically damaging while simultaneously calling for a national election or a new vote which could include a choice of not leaving europe at all having first see all those fever there was no doubting which way the vote was going to go. gradually it seems the time it is
9:13 am
turning we know already that the e.u. leaders would definitely extend the article fifty process if we would have. a face on the deal or indeed general election they wouldn't interfere in the democratic process and make us go away from the line during that time so really that's not a worry what we need to do is to make sure that we do have that option so that it's the people of this country having the final say and not just a few politicians most labor m.p.'s who support breck's that haven't turned up this week and they worry that a u.-turn could alienate their own constituents who voted to leave this veteran looked suddenly like a stranger in his own policy when seventeen and the million people vote we know that cameron told you when we get a different result but the truth is they voted the other way and they voted to. and i don't think you're comply in the face of people seventy percent in some

and. partners. this is next on the hit list is plastic thailand plans to ban plastic imports within the next two years but like the ban on waste the plan is light on detail but what it may do is focus attention on domestic plastic use at the moment less than a quarter is recycled already used. thailand has been slow to wake up to its waste problem until the new laws are implemented and enforced they will be skepticism about the government's commitment to clean up wayne hay al-jazeera bangkok. time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera donald trump used his address at the u.n. general assembly to boast about his accomplishments in his two years in office he said he'd done more in that time than any of his predecessors

a claim that led to laughter in the assembly but his stance of america first and isolationism was countered by a push to strengthen international ties but other leaders. also used his address to level more criticisms at iran the iranian president hassan rouhani hit back when his turn came here to the united states of waging what he called economic terrorism . the government of the us at least the current administration seems determined to render all international institutions ineffectual unlawful unilateral sanctions in themselves constitute a form of economic terrorism and a breach of the right to development of the economic war the us has initiated under the rubric of new sanctions not only targets the iranian people but also entails harmful repercussions for the people of other countries. the saudi immorality coalition fighting in yemen plans to open humanitarian corridors to allow the delivery of aid un's warning of famine in yemen could strike at any time and lead to even more deaths fighting has prevented aid agencies from reaching millions of

9:21 am
a sexually violent predator more than fifty women have accused cosby of sexual abuse but most cases were too old to prosecute but those were the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after inside story station thanks for watching. sidestepping u.s. sanctions to european union goes ahead with a new payment system for business transactions with iran russia and china say bear arms that can companies and traders withstand the u.s. response this is inside story.
9:22 am
and welcome to the program on this of the parana but it was signed in two thousand and fifteen the iran nuclear agreement was hailed as a landmark deal but with the u.s. withdrawal of the cia and threats of punishing those who do business with head on european leaders have been left trying to figure out a way to protect their companies and save the agreement the trumpet ministrations says it will reimpose some of its toughest sanctions on iran in the van and that's led some companies to abandon their plans and iran but the europeans say this setting up a new payment mechanism that will allow companies to continue trading goods and with iran russia and china support the plan but it's not clear how work will discuss that with our guests in a moment but first xi how to set some discussion from the un general assembly in new york. the e.u.
9:23 am
was reported to have been discussing what it calls a special purpose of ical for several weeks and monday night the e.u. foreign policy chief said it would be going ahead e.u. member states will set up a legal entity to facilitate legit to make financial transactions with it on and this will allow european companies to continue to trade with it on in accordance with utopian union low and could be open to other partners in the what the plans discussed in the past have involved an entity being set up to act as a go between or clearing house which we know iran and other nations to facilitate commercial transactions for example if a country or company wants to buy iranian oil it would send money to or perhaps engage in a barter system involving this entity which will handle the transaction with iran the same were true in reverse for iran's dealings with the rest of the world the idea is to bypass commercial and central banks who are fearful of being frozen out of the u.s. financial system if they help circumvent the new sanctions being imposed by the
9:24 am
trumpet ministration against iran in the vendor. however the details have yet to be worked out and there is some skepticism that the system will work especially given the large number of european companies already cut tailing their business dealings with iran. this meeting at the un also announced that around remained in compliance with the nuclear deal and pledged their commitment to remain participants. the meeting on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly didn't just involve european foreign ministers but the foreign ministers of russia and china as well meeting with iran coming as it did on the eve before donald trump addresses the u.n. general assembly this was a sign of real international solidarity here in new york she represents the al-jazeera new york. well let's introduce our guests now joining us from paris is remi bojo an economist at the french institute of international and strategic affairs and an investment
9:25 am
strategist in london as mom or salami an international oil economist and joining us on skype from her team and city is christopher balding an analyst on the chinese economy and also a professor at the fulbright university vietnam a very warm welcome to all of you mr boies can the e.u. design a legal shield to protect its companies in iran you know to beat the reach of the u.s. financial system. well the political willingness to try something and that's technically feasible to set up the mccann is him. twere does not. include using the u.s. dollar but even though it's technically feasible it's mainly a political gesture because in the end european companies very much fear the legal consequences in the united states from dealing with iran whatever the sector
9:26 am
especially in those sectors which are being targeted by trump said mr trump and mr ations the sanctions so it's mostly a political signal sent to iran so that it's my i stay in the nuclear deal but it's in the end european companies are very unlikely to return to iran and the regime this current sanctions regime. the only actual possibility was for the negotiates and waivers with the u.s. administration but it was quite clear very early in those stocks that the u.s. administration was not willing to grant any significant exemption from from its sanctions. at this spot for european companies it's not a real a real prospect shoot shoot your return to iran most of them announced very fast
9:27 am
off the donald trump's announcement that they would with throw from iran so there is some interest in that kind of mccann is him. up also and countries like india yeah let's talk a lot about that imply want to talk more about the mechanism the different mechanisms that are being proposed is because a political signal might not be enough to keep iran. in the nuclear deal mr salami we don't have the details of what's being called the special purpose vehicle yet but whatever it is going to be. the bodies that are going to be involved will they have to be exempt from doing considerable business in the u.s. for this mechanism to be feasible. it is not difficult at all because iran's iraq oil exports can be paid for by the way you are all.
9:28 am
of us avoiding the dollar or what you call the petro dollar another thing is that the european union has lowers which protects companies deciding to continue business with iran and that will protect them against us sanctions but above or there is an al turn negative to the us banking system and the pet for a dollar which is the pet for you one which come bypass completely the petro dollar and allow iran to be paid for its exports in the event for you or tentatively a gold the bet through on now accounts for thirty two per cent of the global oil trade so it is a valid as a third of the delegates and it has all sole not only fide basically the
9:29 am
u. a sanctions on iran well let me put some of those points to christopher bolton is the chinese petro are you on a viable alternative to buying oil from iran you know can it bypassed u.s. sanctions altogether or can the european union can european countries in fact do business buy oil from iran using the euro. willie could it be they could buy any currency they want but but it's completely inaccurate to say that the r. and b. is now a global substitute for the dollar when it comes to the oil trade. what what is being discussed here is that in shanghai the chinese government has set up an oil futures trading platform in shanghai and this has garnered significant trading volume what is very important to note on this is the important part boyle suppliers
9:30 am
are still paid in hard currency so the transaction will take place such that it will be denominated in side of china in orem be however if you're on it if saudi arabia if anybody else wants to take that money out of china they have to turn turn it into dollars euros whatever they want and so it's completely inaccurate to say the global oil suppliers can you can get paid in in an r. and b. there is the amount of r. and b. outside of china is is is virtually negligible almost zero in the grand scheme of things but most of all that he said i think is but but but china can buy iranian oil and it's chinese and be right yes but if if iran wants to use that money that that that money that they've been paid they have to turn it into dollars or euros or whatever they want and take it back to tehran as long as they want to use that r. and b. that they have received inside of china they can use that r.
9:31 am
and b. inside of china if they want to take that money r. and b. out of china it's immediately converted into dollars euro miscible who can the european union buy oil from iran using heroes and stead of dollars and buy pos u.s. sanctions that way. well it's theoretically possible but dutch would involve european companies analogy companies and those also most of the market even the united states and most you launch european companies are somehow involved with the u.s. companies and that's where they share some much any any legal suit so that's that's a real issue of their face against not just about choosing which currency you you trade with with iran. the sanctions have really centered on the currency around the dollars international role but it's not just about the
9:32 am
still very phrasing of the sanctions has evolved very much over the years and it's clearly targeting. companies in a very precise way and for a european company or from any other country which is also doing business with the united states it's very complicated there are clear legal consequences of continuing any operations in iran and what and what are your name though obviously does not protect those companies so what if we leave currency out of this because one of the ideas being proposed as a bottle system mr salami i you know could we see a return of the sort of bottle system that was used during the cold war by moscow where iran and goods and oil exchanged without money changing hands. well let me point out something i am of the opening and and i am convinced that
9:33 am
u.s. sanctions on iran will fail miserably and iran will not lose a single barrel of oil from its oil exports and that is my reasoning is being asked over five market facts the first fact is that the global the overwhelming majority of the sions with the exception of saudi arabia and possibly. are against the sanctions on iran because iran has not violated the nuclear agreement does second thing as i mentioned and that's the most important one is the petro yuan the petru one has to become a foreign on the side of the united states because it merely fires the by are you a sanctions against iran and provide third with it for iran to be paid
9:34 am
iran can be good in defect for us for any exports it sends to china it can be a period in the euro for an exports to the european union which account for twenty percent of iranian exports and it can be paid by baht of penetrated with delights of turkey and india if a good thing is that china is any a position to nullify the entire you a sanction. by buying the whole. exports of iran two point five million barrels a day and below it pay for them in the pit for you on let me hold that point mr ben-ami i don't want to put that point to our china analyst christopher balding is china and that position to buy all of iran's crude oil and would it be willing to do so is that realistic. because my they could buy iran's deeley output of oil that
9:35 am
is absolutely accurate chinese oil consumption continues to rise relatively rapidly their influence on global price setting is very important however they do not pay in r. and b. if you ron wants to get paid and receive currency in iran it's not the r. and b. it gets when that money leaves china it's converted from r. and b. to dollars euros whatever i do think i agree with your first guest that that currency is largely irrelevant it really has to do with with if a company has business in the united states they face the possibility that they're going to be sanctioned and either going to be denied access to the u.s. market i mean actual system or whatever and so being able to trade in in a dollar overseas or a euro is is really irrelevant it's the business exposure they would have to the u.s. market or since i'm
9:36 am
a supporter does that bring us back to the point you know that these measures being proposed can they really challenge u.s. financial dominance given that the truth with of u.s. power lies and the global role of the u.s. dollar you know the predominance of the american financial system well that the key thing is that the u.s. administration is unwilling to give any exemption so. if the companies doing business and you know to night have states this current surely affords to to to stay in iran in any way it's getting very complicated and the european low is supposed to prevent them from up from accounts for the going to a contract because of u.s. sanctions of the sanctions imposed by any thoughts country but indiana in a very concrete way there are facing. legal actions from from of the united states and it doesn't even. in answering the lame friends that. legal action has the pull
9:37 am
out the fallout of the u.s. pulling out of this iran nuclear deal exposes just how vulnerable new ip is to being held hostage to the u.s. treasury you know does us need to overcome this well it's very hard to overcome this actually in a technical way it's it's mainly a political issue between europe in iran and between europe and the united states and there's no actual technical trick to it to bypass that it's not just about the dollars international role it's about the intertwining of the u.s. and the european economy and that's why it's so this sanctions are hurting. european companies involvements in iran so so affected really in a way so that it's because any large european company has some interest in the united states it's not just about the dollar and it cannot afford to just sacrifice
9:38 am
that to to keep its operations its investment so at exports to to iran running and it is of course about politics you too and you know you said at the beginning of the show that this is sending a political signal more than anything else mr salami what do you make of the mess of the timing off the statement from the e.u. and iran you know just before donald trump addresses the u.n. general assembly one and of the said that this is a poke in the eye for trump do you think this is a humiliation for donald trump. it it is a very important statement because the european johan has made it clear from the start that they will not comply by you as sandwiches because if they were to comply with that it will be the end of the nuclear agreement with iran and they are a key and to preserve that agreement because it's important for world peace and
9:39 am
cause he quickly that signals there and systems that they will not comply with the usa it's serial signal to the amharic adds that these sanctions are weak and they will not to work and i tell you that the sanctions as i mentioned will fail miserably and the sea european union will continue to deal with. iran bought a kitchenette lee that ninety five per cent of oil exports go to forty groups of countries one is china which accounts for thirty five but us of the other india which accounts for the fed fifty percent then the european union which echoes for twenty past five or seven bells and that's a total of seven lights certainly is all very them all of them are against the
9:40 am
sanctions against iran but is being against the factions enough mr boulding to think that the message here you know is more important than any details of a financial system by showing that they're working to keep european investment flowing into iran are european leaders hoping that that's enough to keep iran in a nuclear deal. well i think what's and what's important to notice is that it is it isn't just the e.u. it's basically the major powers excluding the united states and so the first thing is that sense not just an e.u. message but that's a very strong political message globally about about the political cover that is being provided i think to follow up on a point you made about how much to details matter i think they matter enormously when they talk about s p any special purpose vehicle and even though we don't have the specifics there are a lot of different ways that you can structure this to make it very very difficult
9:41 am
for the united states government to impose sanctions whether it was some type of a company that had no no ties to the u.s. financial system or payment systems that was maybe domicile in a in a in a in a unique country so that so that european oil companies could deal with that company and so that they would have plausible deniability as to where the oil was coming from i think there's different ways to do this and i think it's very important it is a very strong political message being sent to net that iran of course can't survive on messages and woods alone vies mr bush oh i think it's something like the veil has lost about two thirds of its value the c.s. of wild policy europe china and russia cannot. grave economic woes well let's say in the nuclear deal that promised it. in anything affections. well it's difficult for the european union to do something about this if european
9:42 am
companies are not twinning choo-choo to deal with iran and they have reason of course to fear our us sanctions and. under the current framework so there's little they can do so that they're sending political messages because of course european governments some very concerns about the consequences for the whole middle eastern region of the destabilize ation of the iranian system that's one main thing about economy collate there are their actions are likely to remain quite limited so the way things they are now did they think iran will stay in the nuclear deal the way things are going now the way that things have been going the reaal the economy full sanctions you to be imposed i think on the fourth of november as iran going to stay in this deal. well as iran is under tremendous pressure it's waiting to see how things will evolve whether they will really be no
9:43 am
exemption atoll from from the u.s. or so so so few as they've been applied but that's clearly also a domestic political issue in the iran between the hardliners and the moderates within the regime that's that's very complicated and the hardliners are emboldened to to some extent the moderates have appeared to be in retreat in terms of the political their political message and importance let's does does little actually to do with such and this pressure and certainly most should do in asia and china as eagerness to to continue importing iranian crude this is certainly of great importance to route but it's it's very complicated in europe's position to really find
9:44 am
