states of america in accordance with its obligation is under the nine hundred fifty five treaty of amity economic relations and concert of rightist shall remove by means of it choosing any impediment is arising from the measures announced it on eight may twenty thousand to the free exportation to the territory of the islamic republic of iran of medicine is on medical devices food stuff is going to cultural commodities spare parties equipment and associated services including what anti maintenance repair services and inspection is necessary for the safety of aviation iran argued that sanctions reimposed after u.s. president donald trump pulled out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal in may violate

a little known french agreement that predates the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the court agreed but didn't call for the complete lifting of sanctions falling short of the resulting decision that iran would have wanted judges did ask the us not to interfere with banking transactions related to food medicine and air safety. but even as the judge read the ruling its practical application remains a question mark and any history made here by the i.c.j. judges is likely to be symbolic at best with no policing mechanism to enforce its decision in practical terms the court's judgment is more recommendation than ruling while the u.s. does not recognize the authority of i.c.j. judges it did take iran to court back in one nine hundred eighty when it was still a voluntary member in a case centered around the u.s. embassy hostage crisis the i.c.j. ruled that the iranian government was bound to secure the immediate release of the hostages to restore the embassy premises and to make reparation for the injury caused to the united states government but after the court ruled it owed nicaragua

war reparations in one thousand nine hundred six the united states withdrew from the court's compulsory jurisdiction iran has been arguing that the approach by americans to war to iran has been illegitimate as well as unlawful by taking the case to the core against the united states i think what you want wants to say that that is the americans who have left the negotiating table that is the americans who are not observing the international law that is the americans who have been ignoring or is a listen by the united nations security council on monday iran and america will face each other in court again for public hearings over two billion dollars in iranian assets frozen in two thousand and sixteen the latest world court ruling may seem like a hollow victory to many in iran struggling under the punishing strain of american sanctions but it does help illustrate a point that leaders into iran are keen to make as often as possible given the chance they say america under donald trump does not respect international

institutions zain. has commented on the i.c.j. ruling has come off. so what was the reaction from. well lauren the reaction from mike pompei of the u.s. secretary of state was twofold one that the u.s. was going to essentially ignore the i.c.j. ruling because it said that in a matter of national security the i.c.j. does not have jurisdiction even though the u.s. is a charter signatory to the court's creation back in the ninth in mid one nine hundred forty s. but he also said this that the reason why iran felt that it could come forward and bring this lawsuit about the u.s. to sanction policies well the reason for that should no longer exist i'm

announcing that the united states is terminating the one nine hundred fifty five treaty of amity with iran this is a decision frankly that is thirty nine years overdue iran is abusing the i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes and their case as you can see even the decision lacked merit given iran's history of terrorism ballistic missile ective in the other mine behaviors iran's claims under the treaty are absurd the court's ruling today was a defeat for ron and what we've heard from donald trump's a national security adviser as well what he had to say. well not only did john bolton reiterate mike pump a.o.s. point about the i.c.j. ruling involving the lawsuit from iran he also announced that as far as the us is concerned about an international treaty the vienna convention on diplomatic relations which took effect in one thousand nine hundred sixty one the us is going to pull out of an optional protocol like an amendment to the convention that

governs disputes between two sovereign nations and giving the i.c.j. the authority to resolve those disputes well why does this matter because palestinians have sued the united states because of the u.s. this decision to move its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem back in may the u.s. position is that palestine is not a state and so it doesn't have the authority or the standing as it were to go before the i.c.j. and to ask for some sort of relief and rather than deal with the lawsuit the u.s. has simply decided that because this protocol or amendment is optional the u.s. is going to opt out russian jordan thank you very much indeed you know she has heiress to the head. i'm to see a new land in northeastern brazil the poorest part of this enormous country and

a cell phone to stage dancing queen the soundtrack all of it designed to offer her a charisma she's often accused of lacking plainly they loved it as well as being relieved last year she was paralyzed by a call from the sec fell apart behind her doing all this at such an important time in the u.k. took some courage but in the last few years some sort some things changed for the worse she didn't embarked on a speech which painted her as a much softer figure trying to bring together a country at war with itself over leaving the european union but when push came to shove she indicated they would be no more concessions from in the endless negotiation with brussels britain isn't afraid to leave with no deal if we have to thank me even with thousands introducing terrorists and costly checks at the border would be a bad outcome for the u.k. and the e.u.

it would be tough at first but the resilience and ingenuity of the british people would see us through the friends and her enemies in government will both of found something in all of what she said never mind that she made no mention of every financial warning that the u.k. economy could fold in the event of a hard requisites this was rhetoric from the trenches of world war one we stand at a pivotal moment in history it falls to our party to lead our country through it. when we come together there is no limit to what we can achieve compared to the robot she is often painted as this was a confidence passionate and at times very personal speech which would have gone down extremely well with the party faithful but the bigger things like british ingenuity and black spirits will do nothing to persuade the european union that she

has a new plan if anything what this speech did was to make a no deal harder rex's much more likely. the other thing this will be seen to have done at least for now is to shore up her leadership as prime minister but both she and the european union sharpening their knives lawrence lee al-jazeera burning him . with russian president vladimir putin has denounced the poisoned double agent as a traitor screwball and his daughter survived a nerve agent attack in the u.k. city of souls brain march speaking in moscow putin said scruple was no longer of interest after he was exchanged in a spy swap in twenty ten and he's just a spied a traitor to the motherland you understand you're such a turn traitor to the motherland well he's one of the canadian is that he's just a scumbag that's it if the rebels have released two sons and yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh it's a move that signals an effort to break the deadlock in the ongoing conflict salah
