is pulling out of the sixty year old treaty with iran after the un's top court ordered washington to ease sanctions tehran held a decision by the international court of justice a victory but the u.s. says the tribunal has no jurisdiction in the matter the reports from the iranian capital. in the case of iran versus united states of america the fifteen member bench of the international court of justice ordered the american government to make sure that sanctions against iran do not impact humanitarian aid or civil aviation the united states of america in accordance with its obligation is under the nine hundred fifty five treaty of amity economic relations and concert a lot of writers shall remove by means of it choosing any impediment is arising from the measures announced it on eight may twenty eighth in to the free exportation to the territory of the slum you can have public offer year round of

judges is likely to be symbolic at best both shall refrain from any action which might a good heavy or extend the dispute before the court or make it more difficult towards so with no policing mechanism to enforce its decision in practical terms the court's judgment is more recommendation than ruling 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 the arisen lucian 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. rosen jordan has more on this from washington d.c. . after the international court of justice said that the united states should deliver humanitarian aid and material to the iranian people the united states is reaction is this it's going to walk away from a treaty that gave the iranians the authority they believed to go to the international court of justice in the first place with their complaint about american sanctions this is john bolton the national security adviser for president donald trump iran is a rogue regime if it has been a threat throughout the middle east not only for its nuclear weapons and ballistic

missile programs but it's acted for decades is the central banker of international terrorism and it's hostile and aggressive military behavior in the region today is a breach of international peace and security so i don't take what they say seriously at all the u.s. has decision to basically say that it's going to ignore the ruling from the i.c.j. is just part of its larger campaign to isolate iran it's already reimpose some sanctions that had been lifted after iran signed the nuclear deal with the previous administration the obama administration a couple of years ago the u.s. is now also trying to convince other countries to stop buying iranian oil and crease economic pressure on that government to come to the table and negotiate a new nuclear weapons deal that's something which other countries have been loath to consider and in light of this latest ruling from the i.c.j. it's not clear that the u.s.

is going to be able to make the case that their countries should stop buying iranian oil but it also doesn't mean that they're actually going to continue doing so either. now a british intelligence agency has accused russia of launching cyber warfare with the intent of undermining western democracy the u.k.'s national cybersecurity center says hackers working for the g.r.u. intelligence agency were behind a series of major attacks including the world anti-doping agency hack in twenty seventeen it's also the first time the u.k. intelligence services have claimed russia was involved in the twenty sixteen breach of the u.s. democratic national committee computer systems allegedly to help donald trump win the presidential election the u.k. says g.r.u. operatives were acting directly under orders from the kremlin and then sent to sow discord and mistrust in other governments around the world let's get more on this now and talk to joe di wesley he's chief executive of global cyber risk and joins us live from washington d.c. jody just talk us through what's behind these fresh allegations made by the u.k.

about russian hacking is there new information out there. i think there's some new information it's really wonderful that the. british military or the british government would come out and name the russian military intelligence as being behind some of these attacks we've suspected russia's always had a lot of cyber criminal activity in the country and the russian government would always go all we know nothing about it no no this has nothing to do with the government but now that there are direct linkage is being made by the intelligence community and certainly the u.s. and u.k. jointly came out and blamed russia for the not virus and twenty seventeen which crippled ukraine and it really spread to a number of other countries around the world and caused a vast amount of private sector business interruption losses so now that we're

actually getting a pinpoint down to saying this is nation state activity i think that's very important isn't the u.k. though just repeating up to solutions already made by the u.s. so mean isn't this just repeating the existing allegations. no no they they said today new things they said that they were determining that the russian military intelligence with the knowledge and consent of the kremlin or i was involved with the world doping with some u.k. banks attacks with attacks on ukrainian infrastructure and the hacking of the democratic national committee so these were new blames that were relayed being laid at the at the feet of the russian government and if they i'm certain had quite credible information before they came out with this so it's important because many private sector companies know there's bad actors out there but if they are being

hit by a nation state that raises it to a level that most companies no matter how big they are can withstand without the assistance of government and so what's very important for companies to understand and countries to understand that you have a nation state that that is using its cyber capabilities as a weapon as you say jodi russia has repeatedly denied these claims about the jail use activities but what is the extent and capability of russia's cyber ascents briefly. they have they have very deep assets and capabilities we remember they had a very strong scientific community under the soviet union and they still have a lot of those scientists and we know that they had a very active hacking community so they are quite sophisticated in their capabilities and what makes them even more dangerous is because they have these support and. the look aside attitude of the government so the bad

actors can work right alongside the government and it's a double trouble but you have a national security terms a term called correlation of forces which means everything a nation can bring to bear against an adversary so certainly we saw ten years ago when russia had attacked georgia remember that that was a kinetic attack it was conventional military plus cyber so they've been at this for ten years and engaged in some very serious attacks a final brief thought from the job it given the accusations from both sides and a critical u.s. election coming up all we allowed to do see is cyber attacks on cyber espionage increased in the future i think so because i don't think we have our arms around it here i think the problem is too difficult to try to manage right before an election even two years from now and the criminals and and other governments that want to behave in if arius ways will take advantage of that jodi wispy thank

you very much indeed for your time it's my pleasure the russian president vladimir putin a school form a double agent a traitor he says moscow knew he had cooperated with foreign intelligence agencies often his release in a spy swap in twenty ten. he's just a sponsor a traitor to the motherland do you understand that you're such a target to try to to the motherland well he's one of we can't let you leave she's just come back to that seat. really chalons has more now from moscow. some context for vladimir putin's comments can be found in a documentary program that was shown on russian t.v. earlier this year now in that putin was asked by an interviewer whether he could forgive and he said yes of course he could but not everything when asked what he couldn't forgive putin's answer was betrayal so that suggests that a script how who have lied to me uproots in has called

a traitor to the motherland and scum falls into the brackets of the type of person that putin might not be able to forgive now britain of course is saying this russia had nothing to do with this and on stage he said that the whole script al case was nothing more than an information campaign that had been passed officially blown up but still this is revealing language being used by the russian president. lots more still to come here on al-jazeera including rejected by australia refugees urged popular guinea's top court to help them decide their future. and how extreme poverty in brazil has made many people easy targets for politicians looking to buy votes more on that stay with us. from a fresh coast to breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback.

in the u.k. took some courage but in the last few years some sort some things changed for the worse i think she then embarks 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 without introducing tariffs 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 her 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 rex's 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 opinions of things like british ingenuity in 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 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 in
