the u.s. ramped up its pressure on iran earlier this week ending sanctions waivers that have for a few months allowed iran to sold to just countries all signs point to more u.s. sanctions targeting iran's oil dependent economy i do weekly cabinet meeting president hassan rouhani said iran remains open to dialogue but demanded an apology and a halt to pressure tactics conditions the united states is almost certainly unwilling to meet here. also had this warning for the iranian people. not only do you doubt it was acute enough that america's not ready for talks at all what they're doing is meant to break the nation of iran america wants to enter to run again americans didn't learn their lesson from the top us incident that was the failed mission thirty nine years ago to rescue american hostages from the us embassy takeover into . a sandstorm led to a helicopter and a war plane colliding killing eight u.s.

servicemen this hunk of metal is all that's left of the rotary mechanism of one of the helicopters that was meant to fly from the desert in the east of the country directly into the heart of the iranian capital and fly american hostages out on display at the old us embassy now a museum it's become a part of iran's public relations campaign against the united states it was the only mission of its kind that saw american boots on iranian soil and rouhani is warning on the anniversary of the incident of the possibility of more american adventurism is not without its reasons the continued policy aimed at reducing iran's oil sales to zero is a major economic and national security concern here and to. some iranians compare america's anti iran messaging to the rhetoric that preceded the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three the sanctions regime is also reminiscent of iraq after the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one but supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei made it clear iranian oil will continue to flow despite american

intimidation. own little body can. we will explored as much as we need and want the enemy must know that this hostility won't remain without a response the mission of iran won't remain silent against us hostility. the consensus in iran seems to be that war with america is unlikely as the cost would be too high that there has been talking to one of disrupting the strait of hormuz which would wreak havoc on oil markets but for now it may just be saber rattling what i'm saying is it is in our interests are not it's our national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open but as long as sanctions continue to heighten tensions what happens next remains unpredictable zain dizzier to her own allowed to get into dame's bay is has more from new york where iran's foreign minister zarif was speaking. well he says that iran has done absolutely nothing wrong iran entered into what he describes

a treaty formally it wasn't actually a treaty with the international community including the united states and it's the u.s. that has ripped up that deal it's the u.s. that now is removing those waivers for eight countries to still trade with iran on oil and he made the point that the iran nuclear deal is not just a deal itself it was in shrine and in a u.n. security council resolution so binding international law and he said for the first time in his view in history a permanent member of the u.n. security council was not only going against a u.n. security council resolution it was pushing others to go against a u.n. security council resolution he did say that he believed that in his view that president trump did want to come to some sort of new deal but he said there wouldn't be a new deal because iran really had given everything with the existing deal that was

the best they were going to get and he was not prepared for iran to give up on its dignity he said although he believed that president trump didn't want war he thought there were those around him including his national security adviser john bolton and other influences the israeli prime minister the king of saudi arabia the ruler of the u.a.e. who actually wanted regime change in iran possibly even to destroy iran as a country. now the united kingdom is set to approve a deal with the chinese technology giant huawei to build parts of britain's new five team about internet that crack the u.s. has been warning its allies against doing business with huawei citing security risks the company has denied allegations that it's being used for spying by the chinese government reports. hallway has grand ambitions and appears to be on track to carry them out the chinese giant telecoms company is catching samsung in

global sales and has signed dozens of next generation five g. contracts with providers around the globe at the heart of it all is the issue of trust huawei is directly linked to the chinese states and the sought to reassure western countries that its infrastructure doesn't pose a threat to their security australia new zealand and the us particularly very suspicious of. there's mixed opinions in the u.k. it is mixed appeasing come after all those don't forget it was counted with originally the rest states the financial structure of. the british government is under pressure to agree their security services have advised the governments that hallway should be banned from providing some critical infrastructure when five g. arrives in britain on the grounds that it could jeopardize data security as we know

data is extremely valuable today and is indeed. one of the main profit generating areas for companies like google facebook and apple is how they process the data that they collect and then secondly of course there's the possibility to intercept communications and perhaps even to blackmail different. governments organizations in order to exert pressure chloé isn't the only example of the dilemma facing the u.k. over its relationship with china the country has already been given a contract to build a new. nuclear power station in the west of england despite concerns it would allow beijing to control parts of the u.k.'s power supply as with everything here bricks its costs a shadow over all of this parts of the government's very much want to do new trade deals with china in order to replace existing ones with the european union yet the spy agencies are worried about the impact of a chinese takeover of the british economy on security in diplomatic circles one of

the main topics of conversation has become just was a mess that you case china policy has turned into even more ironically chinese media has been busy trumpeting the fact that the e.u. has declared hallway safe as a partner and several european countries have already signed a new five g. contracts the u.k. meanwhile seems unable to make its mind up with china is friend. lawrence li al-jazeera london well the u.s. and china seem to be locked in a race to lead the wild in five g. technology so what exactly is simply put promises superfast station speeds why did coverage and more stable connections with development well under way five g. networks are expected to be launched across the world by next year the u.s. and china current tied for first place and five g. readiness according to reports by the cellular telecommunications industry

association south korea is sitting on japan fourth but there are fears that five g. could bring heightened security risks the u.s. is already banned while away from its government networks accusing beijing of using the advanced technology for espionage while in a free it is the chief technology correspondent and she joins us now live from san francisco and california in a this is all happening apparently despite warnings from the u.k.'s national cybersecurity agency. yeah i mean i think there are concerns out there regarding what way at the same time while way has been a part of british networks in the current four g. networks and there haven't been clear problems so a lot of this is fear over what might happen or ties that there might be with the chinese government versus actual demonstrated harm well talk us through the history of relationship with the u.k. my understanding is they've always been the cheapest option yeah i mean that is

really one of the big selling points for a while ways their gear is significantly cheaper than the competing products from companies like nokia and ericsson in the u.k. they've been allowed to do part but not all of the network and that's actually what's being proposed for five g. so they can do external parts like in tennis and the radio network but not the core networks and what's being proposed is something similar for five g. so it's not an expansion at the same time the us would like to see them banned entirely from doing business in most western countries so it's a bit of a victory for awhile way that they're being allowed in at all what is the actual core infrastructure that they're being banned from. so i mean when it comes to sawyer it's a complicated system we think of wireless phone so it must all be cords but there's actually a lot of wires a lot of networking gear the only part that's wireless is that last little bit from the cell tower to your phone so there's a lot of stuff that it takes to get there there's some data traffic obviously from

your phone to the bell to the base station and some of that stuff but a lot of the biggest concern is around the core of the network that sees the highest amount of traffic the routers and switches and stuff that take those calls and route them in the data obviously which you know is the most valuable part at this point and so the u.k. is kind of struck a middle ground here allowing them to do part of it but not the most sensitive parts in the u.s. basically all the major carriers can't use a wall way gear at all while some of the rural carriers can and then obviously in a lot of places what we is really the only option because of that cost advantage so in a lot of developed markets developing markets rather they wouldn't have cell service at all or high speed cell service if it weren't for awhile way do you think we could see a breakdown of collaboration within the so-called five eyes network given that the us astray and new zealand already have a band in place and that now they might be reluctant to share information with the u.k. . i mean that's been the threat i think we'll see if that actually comes to

fruition i think you know it's certainly the biggest tension point at the moment and you know the us is threatening that i think you know what it would like to see is a little while way is possible and it's going to exert pressure to do that you know i do think that there's more to the allied arrangement than what cellular network gear is used so we'll see if some of those threats actually come to be in afraid the chief technology correspondent thanks for being with us on al-jazeera. well u.s. president donald trump has vowed to fight all the way to the supreme court against any attempts to impeach and this comes also democrats in congress launched new investigations into the president can really help it as. unconditional war on his opponents is a tactic donald trump has used for decades in the business world and now it appears in the political arena as president i say it's

a tough get back to infrastructure good factor cutting taxes back to lowering drug prices that's what really that's what we should be doing but we're fighting the other subpoenas we need these materials even though the u.s. congress has a constitutional obligation to investigate the white house trumps declared he's prepared to take his fight to the highest court in a wednesday morning tweet truck threaten congressional democrats if they try to get rid of him through impeachment he'll go straight to the supreme court trump is upset democrats continue to question his legitimacy and want to probe his taxes and financial records it follows the release last week of the much anticipated report by special counsel robert muller on whether the truck campaign worked with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign. mode concluded there was no evidence they did but he did suggest congress could pursue the matter of whether

the president obstructed justice during the investigation from the white house a top adviser mocked congress's oversight efforts even suggesting the white house might block any testimony by former employees so what else is there to know and what else is there and i believe it matter what we all know is director mueller and his investigators one and two are felt that it was right to indict they wouldn't be your committee will come to order many top democrats in congress including democratic presidential candidate and senator elizabeth warren believe trump should be an. stated and even impeached we cannot be an american that says it is ok for a president of the united states to try to block investigations still senior democrats like house speaker nancy pelosi are pushing for oversight without attempting to remove donald trump from office as an election year approaches she's

directed democrats to win votes by talking about issues voters care about like health care and approving wages impeachment is a political gamble most polls show a majority of americans think that impeaching the u.s. president is a mistake that means instead of inflicting damage on donald trump it could build support among swing voters potentially aiding trump's reelection kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house still ahead on al-jazeera a journalist killed during violence in londonderry is laid to rest. and then fire at has a strange work out plan ahead of this week's london marathon is here with me.

forces in the summer. and also killed. and injured a pregnant woman who lost her baby during two separate shooting attacks in the occupied west bank. but she says she knew nothing about her son's intentions and her rest was a way to pressure the family. they threatened to kill my sons and portis my husband said that me being in jail doesn't even compare to everything else the family has been through and that's because the family has already seen both also homes being demolished by the israelis their militia of houses against those israel accuses of committing attacks against that as a few units of measure is not a new policy however human rights organizations say that other forms of collective punishment their rights in the search for also the israeli forces that as did several of his friends and family members. the army says the detention is for interrogation during which they submit a secret file to the judge only those arrests are often meant to put pressure on

their response but said no comment lou you see such as could be legally challenged but because israel often detains palestinians without charges the pressure tactic of adjusting family members will likely continue. to mount the occupied west bank while a journalist shot dead in northern ireland has been laid to rest and belfast the prime ministers of britain and ireland attended the ceremony as well as leaders of the main irish nationalist and progress unionist parties here was shot while covering a riot by dissident republicans who are opposed to the more than irish peace process and reports. of spontaneous applause for a local woman who died doing the job she loved the coffin was carried into sometimes a protestant cathedral in belfast her family a catholic but they wanted her funeral service to be of course community events. hero was a person who broke down barriers and reached across boundaries near him

russia and china but they read russia really doesn't have that much to offer so it's a way of for kim to show that he has other partners but russia isn't really that big of a partner for north korea but you know it's the united states that holds the main cards in terms of the kind of security guarantees that north korea needs or wants the lifting of the sanctions that north korea desperately wants russia really can't affect either of those things except with regard to the sanctions they can provide some loopholes to north korea they're already doing that by allowing north korea to send cold dumping it in russian ports and then it's exported under a different name so they can do that kind of a minor way of allowing some trade with north korea but they really don't really have the infrastructure to do a lot more. the u.s. state department has condemned man maher after its highest court rejected the final
