we do not submit to blackmail and we do not trade our political rights for money well i white house correspondent kimberly joins us live now from washington kimberly so the once house has now responded to this palestinian rejection tell us what more they've been saying. yeah this is a statement coming from the white house specifically attributed to the white house special representative for international goshi ations jason green blatt this statement is quite lengthy the white house seems to be surprised that there is any pushback from the palestinian authority saying that it's difficult to understand why the palestinian authority would reject a workshop designed to radically transform lives and power to a brighter future for the palestinian people the white house goes on to accuse the palestinian authority of deliberately trying to block a path to a brighter future and that history will judge the palestinian authority harshly for passing up this opportunity now the white house goes on to defend what it says is economic proposal calling it ambitious but it chiva bull with the potential to
2:01 am
unlock a prosperous future essentially the white house and then the statement from jason clear in black they're calling this an exciting rope roadmap but only at the end does 5 this statement sort of acknowledge that final status issues are needed in partnership with this economic opportunity that the white house is proposing and that's the main criticism of this statement is that this proposal only really addresses one part but doesn't address sort of political issues like palestinian sovereignty land claims borders either of course that is the issue that comes down to trust that so many in the palestinian authority feel that there is a need for this to come in tandem and of course that is not happening so the official position from the white house is that they're surprised that this is being rejected but here in the united states even there was concern about this proposal as it began to leak out that it would be dead on arrival and kimberly how important is this deal of the century to president trump administration how big
2:02 am
a deal is it political. well donald trump likes to portray himself as able to strike deals that are unachievable by others and of course we've seen a series of successive american presidents try and fail when it comes to resolving the crisis between the israelis and the palestinians but what's notable about the trumpet ministration is speaking out of both sides of its mouth well it says that it certainly wants to try and tackle what other presidents have been unable to achieve that it was to take a new approach and then. really just taken sides you know when you look at for example the declaration and the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem that happened in 2017 that's where really when the palestinian authority and palestinian leaders shut down sort of any negotiations with the trumpet ministration recognizing an obvious bias and that has continued so it doesn't appear that the trumpet ministration really is sincere
2:03 am
about wanting to try and achieve this peace deal it almost seems as if it's going through the motions given the fact it has not consulted with palestinian leaders for many years now since that declaration was made of the moving of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem so knowing that would be a sore point the trumpet ministration did it anyway as well still saying that they want to try and achieve what they have not been able to by other u.s. presidents prior commitment thank you. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back we report home from some how upcoming elections are exposing europe's deep divisions and u.s. carmaker ford announces major job cuts but they won't be on the production line well enough stay with us. hello there the weather still quite unsettled over parts of the middle east at the

moment but the huge area of cloud here that's working its way through parts of iraq and us towards the caspian sea and then everywhere to the east there's a chance of seeing want to teach showers and it still stays unsettled as we head through the next couple of days so really we haven't settled down for summer yet school towards the west it should be a bit dry and brighter for say beirut are maximum getting to around $29.00 a bit further towards the south and we've also had a lot of cloud over parts the arabian peninsula too in yemen this is what it looked like clearly a lot of rain has fallen there we've had a lot of thunder reactivity down towards the southwest in parts of the country and we've also had quite a few thunderstorms elsewhere out of this area of clouds here abu dabi de bar i we've both seen some heavy showers and we've seen plenty of them over parts of a man including muscat there i think as we head through the next few days is still a risk of seeing a few more showers and some of them again could turned out to be a role the heavy that cloud just sticking around really as we head through wednesday a bit further towards the south and things are generally looking
2:05 am
a good deal dry ahead the southern parts of madagascar though we've been seeing a few showers we've also seen some clouds make its way over the southern parts of south africa for cape town it won't be warm on tuesday a maximum of 60. an investigation into the real powers that control the world health organization their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health can they be trusted with building a healthier future if their loyalty becomes questionable. people that are involved in h one n one is it ok for you now oh yes there's a chance to trust that you trust who's on al-jazeera.

2:09 am
to sleep. some africans former president jacob zuma has appeared in court hoping that judges will throw out corruption charges against him zuma is accused of fraud money laundering and racketeering some of those charges relate to a controversial arms deal exposed while he was deputy president prosecutors say he received money to cover up illegal purchases of combat equipment for the south african navy fee for me the minute was outside the court in pietermaritzburg. jacob zuma supporters have been waiting patiently won't take to hear from the former president he's expected to address the people here only time from now and that's off to a court proceeding straight pietermaritzburg wrapped up on the 1st day of arguments where zuma story is arguing that ben shouldn't start stand trial this is for a number of reasons one of them is that jacob zuma was charged more than
2:10 am
a ticket ago and even though those charges were thrown and then reinstated his lawyers arguing that given the amount of time that's cost the trial should have happened at that time and should proceed now oh his lawyers also claim that the charges against jacob zuma are politically kilbane and they also say that he is being spied on illegally by the government now these are the arguments his lawyers will use in the coming days as they try to convince the court the jacob zuma shouldn't stand trial people outside certainly believe the former president they say he's innocent they say he's here to support him as long as he meets if they're here until the end however the prosecutors in this case it jacob zuma has been responsible for the naming the case it's taken this long because of some of the tactics he was employed those posts moments that he's managed to get and they
2:11 am
believe that jacob zuma assumer rather should be held accountable for what's about frequency of cooling the arms deal in that jacob zuma received payments from a french ohms manufacturer tolley's to use political protection when they were supposed to provide a provide frigates to the south african navy major redundancies about announced a ford the u.s. comic has cutting $7000.00 office workers well why that's 10 percent of its salaried stuff for deciding $600000000.00 a year as it gets up to build more electric and self drive vehicles for the future $100.00 has more now from chicago. ford motor company is laying off $7000.00 white collar workers worldwide that's about 10 percent of its salaried work force deep cuts at ford and those might just be the beginning that's part of an $11000000000.00 restructuring from the company why their sales actually went up in
2:12 am
the united states in the past year but they've gone down in europe asia and latin america and as they're competing in the standard car market they are also competing with technology companies like tesla and way mo which are making self driving electric cars and this follows on the heels of cuts by general motors even deeper cuts of $8000.00 workers or about 15 percent of its salaried workforce they're facing similar industry pressures and those companies are regearing for an era in which perhaps people aren't buying so many cars but perhaps hiring self driving cars to take them where they want to go on a regular basis and all of this happens is those companies have been hit by tariffs the trump administration has set on steel and other metals that has cost ford alone about a $1000000000.00 over the past year and to put that in perspective the company is saving about $600000000.00 with the cuts that it is announced on monday that doesn't get you quite to the $1000000000.00 the company has paid in terrorist for
2:13 am
importing the metals it needs to make those cars so the tariffs have been bad news on top of a rough year for the automakers google's parent company alphabet how suspended some of its business with chinese tech giant who always saying it's complying with the u.s. government has new who are as smart phones won't have access to google's play still where users download popular apps including g. mail and you tube but it will maintain use of the android operating system open source licensing but google won't provide it with any technical support. the u.s. is trying to blacklist the company around the world several countries of baron who are away from development of their 5 g. mobile networks citing security concerns the chinese tech giant says it will continue providing updates and after sale services to its existing smartphones and tablets on a tangle as a political analyst who advises the chinese government on economic and development issues he says the u.s.
2:14 am
is trying to cripple the competition. basically this is a very clear attempt to cripple hallway it's kind of like in the old days the u.s. when confronted by russia over sputnik going to the moon they said we're going to outcompete you we're going to show you the best and the brightest and what we can do but today it seems more about tripping up the competition we don't have to compete against you if we can cripple you this is going to be a long term situation in terms of what beijing can do hopefully it won't but it could quite possibly say that for security reasons they will be banning broadcom qualcomm who have also joined on the train with google and keep all of those out make it almost impossible from the do that then this is what i would call a hard fork where you're really going to see a real change in basically 2 camps going ahead with their respective technologies you could see apple's sales plummet this is one of the other realities of this
2:15 am
trade war is that these types of international stories are going to impact more and more nationalist china and they will shy away from buying apple and other u.s. products remember this is a over $350000000000.00 a year market where u.s. companies are selling in china and that that would have disastrous consequences for american businesses especially on the profit lines. politicians from europe it's mainstream parties are calling on voters to reject the far right in this week's elections for the european parliament the european council the president don't go to discuss the issue with the president of france emanuel micro has broken with tradition and join the come pain trail. of bucking reports now from paris. france's european elections is shaping up to be something of a rerun of the 2017 presidential campaign emanuel not calls pro e.u.
2:16 am
centrist. passy and the anti far right party of marine le pen are opinion polls suggest in the lead for folks the jewel of opposing visions of europe and a reflection of growing divisions in france at this paris market some say they're worried about immigration climate change and the cost of living i'm totally sick of politicians with that big salaries they're supposed to defend us workers but they do nothing says mcconnachie been in power was struggling to live. it's important to vote for europe because there are countries where populist governments have come to power and it would be stupid to let that continue the far right one france's last european elections in $24.00 team since then and the immigration populous parties have flourished in europe and brakes it has rattled the block in the pen and the nationalist allies move even when the noise still weak is so we're experiencing a historic moment and all the signs show that we are on the eve of great political
2:17 am
change in europe the idea of a europe that denies the right of nations to exist your thora terry in the vision of an imprisoning e.u. have been massively rejected. the french president's rarely publicly campaign in european elections but macro is breaking with tradition he says europe's in crisis and he's fighting to save it i want reforms e.u. i want to accelerate the integration on some issues i think on currency on digital on climate action we need more europe i want you to be more protection protective for emanuel mark all these elections are an opportunity not only to campaign for a united europe but also to try and boost his personal popularity in roles after a particularly challenging here domestically. difficult 6 months with yellow vests and. a huge drop in his popularity in the country so these elections are a thirst for him what is at stake for him is 1st of all to rebuild this popular.
2:18 am
pretty within the country and to be in a position to have some influence on european affairs for the next 2 years the elections might be a child's for macra but they all say fraught with risk a win for the president's party in france will bolster him for the remainder of his mandate but if his party loses to the far right it will be a humiliating defeat in france and a sick back for example in europe especially butler al-jazeera paris. parts off a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera iran has announced it will quadruple production for low enriched uranium it comes a week after iran officially ended some of its commitments some of the international nuclear deal which was abandoned by the trumpet ministration zambia's ravi has more now from the iranian capital tehran well this announcement was made

2:21 am
al-jazeera after inside story stage of them so watching enough. is it spiraling out of control of the sea why does the country get the putrid lee hit by that is used by health workers not getting enough help this is inside story . hello welcome to the show i'm sam is a dam doctors say they're terrified by the spread of the worst ever ebola outbreak
2:22 am
in the democratic republic of congo more than 1100 people have died since august 1760 cases have been reported a 5th of them in the past month alone aid workers are calling for money and protection in the country's east fighting between armed groups is hampering efforts to contain the disease 3 people were killed last week in an attack on an abode or treatment center the red cross says unless it gets more funding soon it may be forced to dramatically scale back its operations within a fortnight. disease deface of. ebola in africa and in for for many we're been following either the west africa outbreak or the current outbreak in india see if the mask in india did lead to suit worn by people or entering the communities in performing what we called safe and dignified burials of
2:23 am
people who have died because of it well of the situation is is serious in the sense that the descale in quality of activities there will be performed by by red cross volunteers will dramatically diminish within the next 2 weeks and less funding is provided while a bowler got its name from the ebola river in the democratic republic of congo where the iris 1st appeared back in the 1976 the latest outbreak there started in august and is the 10th in more than 40 years last year one that lasted from may to july killed at least 33 people and in 2014 at least 49 people were left dead separately an outbreak in west africa or 2 in 20132016 claimed the lives of more than 11000 people back in 2007 more than 180 people were killed
2:24 am
12 years earlier at least 250 died in a major outbreak. let's bring our guest into the show now than we have joining us on the phone from can shasta alkie tangay a convoluted political analyst in newcastle in the u.k. study our small schools and associate professor and geneticist at northumbria university and on skype from brussels axel romps emergency coordinator for doctors without borders who was in the sea before an attack forced her organization to suspend work good to have you all with us if i could start with steady os what has prompted a resurgence of abode are the numbers i was looking at 20 percent of all cases occurred in just the last 3 weeks why. i think of us functionality of a house or 2 with the wave of the virus transmits between individuals in the community in the diaz who write power to the affected we have very poor containment
2:25 am
we have very poor uptake of a vaccine we have a negative response against the people who are offering practically to go over and help the people affected by the virus and as a result of art transmission is growing practically exponentially right now that only leads to more questions that spring x.l. into the discussion you were there until recently why do we have poor containment poor uptake on vaccinations poor global response and. yet you know. explained to whoever oh and and people actually have to think of. the fish and we don't waste it. and have. 5.
2:26 am
and it's not trying to reach a sense also the team that he actually wanted the request to me said get the. problem and he doesn't have to come here oh no i saw i'm intrigued to know because it's been reported that there's a lack of trust between the local population and aid workers as you mentioned new been on the ground there tell us thanks all from your experience what breeds that lack of trust. it's an easy going to explain because it is that likely that any game don't. we need to send you on t.v. . and you react will explain and. only in relation i mean explain then what. why the extra treatments and why.
2:27 am
they are not why. you need a region and not. a man on what might be extremely going to be and as a way that the. relation to that. and . the way you. write why don't you. it's not going to name but maybe yes this is a compilation. that. many other questions i'll come back and pick you up later on some of those points hero's x. i want to ask al though who is joining us of course over the phone your in kinshasa what is it about the d.l.c. that makes it so susceptible to being repeatedly hit by about other countries of
2:28 am
course have had about outbreaks but it seems that they all seem particular is in this cycle of about outbreaks why. nobody can scientifically say why i'm going from the west. but there is one think becoming more and more clear that the reason it will not be. there is a huge frustration on the crisis management you just can't understand why it's going that way and. reading the break between the population population and the people on the ground is. managed unfortunately people don't. agree with. the purpose of. the international to. actually. focus on.
2:29 am
the crises and people are more involved in. becoming a serious crisis with the confidence of the people and the people on the ground stereos what's to stop this disease now spreading once again across borders and not just being the problem. that's a very good question and i think we should all be very very thankful that hasn't happened yet i think the numbers indicate likelihood of this occurring is growing on a daily basis. the outbreak is very close to the borders right now the same borders of the t.s.a. and we know very well. the was about to happen for us. i know that the government of the surrounding countries have been prepared and they're putting place preparations to watch for individual someone coming to the countries with symptoms. apart from that i don't think there is anything substantial
2:30 am
enough follow orchestrated during the west african outbreak that thankfully wiring is not. it too soon a sense because we haven't got anybody on standby up the moment but the reality of the matter is if we look at the timeline until now the need has been in the d r c not in the surrounding countries and in fact for the moment and if we're looking at funding drying up in the next 2 weeks the need remains in the d r c unfortunately based on the local politics of my limited understanding of art it's not that they are cigar government that needs to respond it's the local communities that have less than 2 percent trust if you like to the central government and as a result of art anybody coming in in an s.u.v. with expensive kit a tow truck trying to do something you are almost automatically perceived as a hostile entity they're not perceived as somebody that's turning up there to help
2:31 am
them i wonder do able workers feel kind of abandoned right now you know as a as well how do. i feel. that while. the man some of the team that it was yeah whatever so much if they go to actually the security of all this people walking at night there's actually no nancy you know you know. it's a dangerous way to. the rest. of their ex well what he said that it was well doctors without borders your organization was forced to leave after an attack tell us about that. right in saying lately well as a tool to treatments and don't let me wear. that one after 3 days after the other
2:32 am
one and it's do not really clear. and yet thank to spend yet exist if only because we still need wherever mother and a standing are always be and you know risky to to go back into my junior to what we are you know we've got so so. our working week and then the act if you. want to go back. to understand it the present yet and to date not really cleaner. but it means you know another unites us to all places but we have seen what i mean so i was really angry at you through. the rest but unfortunately not in 2 or 3 minutes and that's it's kind of mind baffling steady as you mentioned
2:33 am
a moment ago that anyone showing up in se view the expensive kit is naturally perceived as a hostile entity but explain to me why a stereo system struggling to figure out why. yeah so my understanding of the local politics which is very limited indicates that the militias that operate in the northeast some of them even are affiliated to this law mixtape highly independent and aggressive against the central government the response of that is that anything that appears to come in from central government seems to be perceived something negative now very early in the outbreak there were some local politicians that went out and said that a bolo has been brought in by the health care providers and in fact we've seen this before when the health care providers turn up the locals think felt very bring a bowl of they're trying to bring the disease to annihilate the local populace or whatever you want to call it some people are even afraid of the vaccine that it's
2:34 am
causing the disease which i've looked at what the vaccine is made out of that's physically impossible so to to try and look at it from a clinical almost like a demick point of view where we sit here you know in the west thinking oh you know this doesn't make sense you're absolutely right it does not make sense to us but to them that's the enemy coming trying to harm them a much the rich enemy in a very deprived part of the world looking like they're turning up to fix things fix for whom for them they don't see this immediately they're see that there are people taken away 2 thirds of them turning up dead not being buried according to the local customs and we saw this in west africa as well unless you go in and talk to these people and explain to them what's going on so that they understand and assimilate the know how and give it to the communities we're back to square one again and again and again and we get to this point of violence this happened in sierra leone it's happening again our aapl it's
2:35 am
a cool force is trying to manipulate people's understanding the sort of information about what health workers are doing for political gain. no the truth is that it's not a political game it's a game everyone is saying that the focus is not clearing the dollar crisis the focus isn't spending money the more the money the more some people can talk and it's just really putting people in a very bad and that's why you see people think they're not responsible in the way they manage a crisis that's exactly why we having different people act in different ways so tell us a little bit about how you see what the problem is then that's making local communities of is not a matter of political elation one is making them lose faith and health workers. in this crisis management and they can see that the more the crisis is on the
2:36 am
agenda the more there is money the more. i think then doing the management of the crisis and people can see many cars people to buy and now they stand out and it doesn't show that people are focused on the management of the crisis and it put people in a condition where we think this is just something made to make money that's the perception to the perception is that the foreign organizations that are coming in are benefiting more than the local population from some of these programs that we are absolutely and again they do not use local stuff they don't use resources and people think. to make money out of the country let's bring x.l. into the you've been on the failed how do you respond to those suggestions axel that the perception is it's just a money making operation for the foreigner organizations themselves and perhaps the
2:37 am
local people aren't benefiting as much. actually the best action is left right so another these are the far end of any decisions that those from congo are not strong . and it is true that the way that is. usually just a monday. reading back then it's likely to actually do with my organisation and when we are walking around with that reality we have to hire people from area and french based on less than one 3rd of the kids you know for these. friends i mean yes so many friends. and too many so sure and if you're going to understand doing life and and then socially i understand that it's best to be like that. when i say why is it why is it difficult to
2:38 am
figure out who's doing what is their nose coordination amongst the organizations is there no sort of process whereby they're registering one assumes with a central government that's coordinating the effort. there is no ignition and. doing the exact. amount and you know looking out so many different you are going to enrich want. to find a whacking we can to get the patient and let you have another game let me. question and another one to do that and then just like i don't get people coming we all have wasted effort and resources. west and i don't do we not why don't the guys on not. only need a lot of resources so it's a no brainer. that not working and the fans are sad at being let go or
2:39 am
just. being it be something that it will be good if you get less. and i'll be less money consuming from the competition. the figures talk about things like $130.00 attacks on health facilities between january and mid may of this year that's according to the european commission with that sort of if that's the direction the curve is heading can we really talk about any serious intervention without thinking about perhaps a security intervention. so this as far as i'm concerned that's the biggest risk the moment you put boots on the ground as that phrase goes the moment you bring soldiers into play the more this kind of intervention will look more like a military attack as opposed to a humanitarian effort now i've i've met the people i know the people that go out
2:40 am
into these countries they volunteer to go away from the families they go away from the work places to kick children to go out into highly risk. situations putting themselves at risk of catching a ball and we've seen instances of western workers that hard to be repaired treated due to exposure to a bolo or other diseases as well that are just not commonly known due to the the media focus of a bowler and all these people are trying to do what they're trying to help they know from previous experience that local resilience is necessary the problem is that we have such a distance disparate we have sort environment players our colleague from m.s.f. have pointed out commented out i and they're all trying to get a piece of slice of the pie they hear the big numbers they think that this is a numbers game this is only part of the problem people will not willynilly attack unsubtle fire health care provision centers there are additional factors there and
2:41 am
there are less than fish oils that have come out and said people go in with malaria to the street and centers and because the response is not appropriate to quickly resourced they're not carefully looked after and they walk out with a bowl now you don't want that for anyone that's how you don't want the little stuff how could something like that and many of the even the rattling someone goes in with malaria and comes out with the boa. yes it's very possible because this is such a disease that transmits with body fluids all it takes is for you to be exposed to somebody else's body fluids and you can catch the disease but the stronger the less we don't know as i don't suggest that it is really x.l. is shaking her head i want to bring your perspective into this acts of you know cases where people walk in with a with malaria and end up with a bowl of how could that be happening in in a health center. then the initial income of.
2:42 am
them are always. going to connect. those where that are now it seems that monks do you have. a point there then yes i mean lang really explained you have a vision he's feeling sick then he going to. get out and he goes there is there a transmission that has to do not really understand it coming from an observation. or. you know we transmitting from where i don't know you know or sad or any i know it was and then it's a shame. that. it's sent its way there are a lot of activities. and i don't hear about health centers operated by
2:43 am
international organizations where this these sorts of things are happening. it's a nightmare you know you know you have a lot of. the usual one and then it goes by that. again isn't as i'm going to try to. send that program so madeleine it's not training to every. cremation and contract out. there and i actually think that you should any. treatment. rather sounds like some standards need looking at there then i think we've just got a minute one half left and i want to give it to al looking at things from the perspective on the ground there in kinshasa if providing security and study asa saying is not a good idea that will only make the health effort look more militaristic what is the solution outreach what sort of outreach could international organizations do to
2:44 am
local communities. the balkan porter when international operators company feel you have to understand our cultural read people do interact if you don't understand people you cannot prove you cannot bring them solutions to our quickly or to come to court and knowing when to do think and to be efficient. together with the local people understand them and listen to them and only that can you be able in that kind of. understanding and make sure that what people will take and give results today kind of. measure never really coming close we don't know where i'm doing it for people don't understand at the end of the day it's good for mr gratian think it's all about money and if on top of that the purpose is not and that you have here the way people behave it's not so new that
2:45 am

a washington lead me to. the top stories here ukrainians cheer on the new president as he does. just moments after being sworn into office. and a rousing welcome home but not everyone is happy in the democratic republic of congo to see a popular politician. we begin this news with developments out of iran and its nuclear program in the past few hours it's announced it's quadrupling production of low enriched uranium comes a week after iran officially ended some of its commitments under the 2050 nuclear deal which had already been abandoned by the trumpet ministration was aimed as robbie joins us live now from tehran zain so what more can you tell us about this
2:50 am
announcement and how significant is it. well mr blair has come alone the the spokesman of the atomic energy agency of iran was speaking to a group of local journalists t.v. and news media iranian local journalists during a visit to the natanz nuclear facility iran's main nuclear site he said a couple of other things other than announcing that iran was producing enrich uranium 4 times faster than before he also said that the 300 kilogram stockpile limit that iran has to abide by or had to abide by under the agreement under the 2015 nuclear agreement he says that they will reach that 300 kilogram limit and beyond in a matter of weeks so an important point being made there that iran said the president hassan rouhani iranian president said that they would stop abiding by certain parts of the nuclear agreement the atomic energy organization announced
2:51 am
that it was going to do so and now proving that it is heading down that path showing that iran is doing what it said it would he also said that journalists were shown that strew a small technical change engineers were able to increase the production of enriched uranium to 3.67 percent 4 fold in a very short amount of time reflecting the fact that iran has the scientific capability to move forward with its nuclear program very quickly so why is this important and why is it important now what does it mean for the nuclear deal well many experts say that what iran is trying to do by ending some of its cooperation ostensibly being forced to do so by american nuclear stations by doing so it is trying to gain back some leverage it is trying to gain back some of the things that it gave up as part of the nuclear deal to illustrate to signatories of the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal that if they want to keep this deal which is on life support a lot of much longer than they have to help iran mitigate u.s. sanctions that have a stance of lead decimated iran's economy and so this is really sending
2:52 am
a message that iran has the scientific capability to move forward quickly and it has the will to do so as well and saying away from the nuclear deal how of people that have been reacting over the escalation of tensions with washington. well iranians are really if they run the spectrum there are many iranians that say the government is doing the right thing you can't talk to a bully we must remain defiant we must resist the united states until the end but there are iranians that say the government can't keep saying that the united states can't attack it or can't hurt iran or that it will regret causing war with iran many people don't just consider the psychological war many people say that iran and the threat to iran by the u.s. military buildup in the region must be taken seriously and to that end in the face of what is standing iranian policy of not negotiating with the united states especially with the white house of u.s. president donald trump many iranians we've spoken to in the last day or so keep
2:53 am
telling us that talking to the u.s. would be a better option than an all out conflict with the united states yet another american war in the middle east zain thank you. well this comes after a day when the rhetoric has been a wound up a level between the u.s. and iran donald trump issued a direct threat tweeting that if iran wants to fight it'll be the end of the country he later said he would prefer an economic invasion meanwhile iran's foreign minister zarif has hit back saying iran would be intimidated by what he calls genocidal taunts. u.s. warships sailing in the arabian sea these the latest pictures showing additional u.s. military personnel deployed to the region a move to counter what the u.s. says thrifts from iran the tensions are escalating on twitter donald trump wrote if iran wants to fight that will be the official end of iran never thracian the united states again. to iran has described the rates of psychological warfare and
2:54 am
a political game iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif tweeted trump hopes to achieve what alexander guess in other graces failed to do iranians have stood tall for millennia well aggressors all gone economic terrorism and genocide towards words in duran try respects it works it's been mixed messages out of the white house and a pretty recorded interview on fox news trump said he preferred an economic war over a military one i want to invade if i have to economically we've created a much stronger country economically than when i took it over and on thursday he said this. is what we have got where for that we would not get out. and if we did that would send a hell of a lot more troops and that what i think is just well was a story in the new york times or the new york times it's very good. saudi arabia's
2:55 am
king so mom has called for 2 emergency summit some valving gulf and arab leaders later this month to discuss. but analysts say talking won't work for terror. which wants the u.s. to stick to the iran nuclear deal or j c p a way i really doubt that the iranians are going to engage in any diplomacy until at least trump fires bolton and starts to abide by the g.c. if you wait because if the idea is to go to the table with this extra leverage the truck now believes that he has because of the sanctions while the iranians are not going to go to the table without them 1st also building some leverage would most likely would mean that they would restart other aspects of their nuclear program is not a good scenario for anyone iran u.s. relations has a new lawyer last year pulled out of the 2015 agreement embry imposed sanctions they had been lifted in exchange for tehran scaling back its nuclear program now under u.s. lead sanctions iran is suffering economically and wondering what trumps true intentions really are. so have we got to the point where donald trump is
2:56 am
tweeting things like the end of iran well it was just 2 weeks ago that national security advisor john bolton dispatched some aircraft carrier and b. 52 bombers to the gulf suddenly talking of retaliation with unrelenting force to any action from iran. 3 days later president hassan rouhani announced iran's partial withdrawal from the nuclear deal saying it would give an appropriate response to any kind of aggression or donald trump responded by suggesting what iran should be doing is calling me up sitting down we can make a deal a fair deal as reports swirl that the u.s. was considering sending 120000 troops to the middle east iran's supreme leader tried to calm tensions saying iran would not go to war with the u.s. but after washington ordered all non-essential staff to leave iraq the new head of iran's revolutionary guard talked of a full scale confrontation with the enemy but on thursday iran's foreign minister
2:57 am
defended terence pull out of the nuclear deal saying it exercised maximum restraint against an acceptable escalation from the united states let's bring in at all and there's. he's a visiting fellow at the brookings doha center joins us live again from berlin ali so let's talk 1st about this latest development this latest announcement from iran that it aims to quadruple its production of low enriched uranium how significant is this and why is iran doing this now do you think. i think it's a contradiction of what iran did early may what you have just alluded to in terms of stopping some of its commitments under the j.c. pure way and it's a gradual afeard towards reestablishing the kind of leverage iran had a decade ago by showing to the international community to the u.s. in particular that iran is not in a position of weakness it has. you know established a nuclear program so this is the kind of game that to iran is looking at but this
2:58 am
is also also risky in a risky endeavor because this might jeopardize the kind of political and diplomatic support that until now iran has received from europe and only the europeans that desperately been trying to save the deal since trump pulled out so where does that leave the deal now is it much closer to collapse given this latest opportunity and this latest development. i think what we have to do now is to also look beyond the nuclear deal because there are a lot of sunset clauses that are going to you know to kick in in the next few years so what we need now and also this kind of ask elation of the recent weeks and days you know demonstrates the need for for a new security architecture in the region in compasses not only iran's nuclear program not only iran's regional policies but the entire region so it should
2:59 am
this is a wake up call that you know there is a necessity as stroke on the south city to look at the region in a comprehensive sense and to think about possible regional security architectures early let's talk now about the rising tensions between the u.s. and iran iran has dismissed president trumps latest threats as genocidal towards men terror and of course wants to appear tough here but i mean how worried is iran under the surface about the threat of a real conflict here. i think both sides should be varied because none of them can really calculate the costs of any military confrontation what we're witnessing now is a game of brinkmanship from both sides showing strength to the other side and so we're hearing from the trombetta straight in and terms of his new tweeted certainly a bad sign and a reminder of how fragile the situation is and is prone to any kind of escalation
3:00 am
on the other side we have similar you know statements coming out from iran from these some revolutionary guard corps also in terms of a strong retaliation against u.s. interests in the region in the event of war so what a good byproduct of this kind of ask elating war of words might be is that the diplomacy is very much important and there is an urgency for diplomacy and maybe the signs in terms of the omani of foreign minister traveling today to iran and discussing some regional issues and oman has played a kind of a mediating role between the u.s. and iran in the past so maybe this is a good sign about the urgency of diplomacy and this will really activate a lot of you know possible scenarios to go for a diplomatic settlement or at least some talks between iran and the united states.
