between the u.s. and germany over the nuclear deal agreed with the iranians in 2015 but rejected by president donald trump in 28. when will the world is in great restlessness especially the issue of iran and how we prevent the country coming into ownership of nuclear weapons also how we prevent other aggressive actions from iran dog on and yet germany has joined forces with britain and france russia to all possible to help keep iran within the terms of the 2015 deal setting up a financial transactions channel called in stakes designed to help iran legally get around u.s. sanctions something that has angered u.s. officials to the point some commentators believe it explains why mike pump aopa spurned an earlier planned visit to berlin another contentious area for the 2 countries is the increasing influence of china in the world recently the u.s.

government officially deemed the chinese tech giant weiwei to be a risk to its national security alongside the german foreign minister mike pompei or explain why where there is american information on their systems or where colocated where their systems are the rest that we have to change our behavior in light of the fact that we can't permit private citizen data from the united states or gushy security data from that. to go across networks that we don't have confidence that we don't view as trusted networks that's how we're thinking about that it's a warning to the several e.u. countries considering allowing huawei greater access to their telecommunications networks ministers in berlin say sales of 5 g. operating licenses here will not be allowed with companies which don't meet german security requirements for the merkel government this is a sensitive issue particularly given china's status as germany's leading trade partner by chance the chinese vice president was also visiting bergen on friday
11:04 am
next in line to meet merkel after pompei a headlamp there was no comment for the media at this meeting but the beijing government roundly rejects american accusations dominic came out 0 early. stacy was a state department official in the obama administration and he joins us now from washington d.c. jeff in your mind what kind of a reception is pompei are getting so far in your well the rather cold one indeed you've got a situation where the secretary of state is arriving and already the knives are out for him for a whole stack of reasons the u.s. may be largely right about china but it's wrong about everything else these days and that is top in the minds of european officials right there in germany they were snubbed recently and they have their minds clearly on the meat and unix security conference and all the ramifications related to standing up with ukraine against
11:05 am
russia and a variety of other things going back to the troubled ministration undermining nato and the e.u. and pompeo brought up that as well is their frosty reception but what does pump air have to offer europe to try to get leaders there on the on side. he is sorely lacking in anything he can offer them at this stage and that was a mistake you as a secretary of state of the united states do not want to arrive after all the baggage that has built up and not offer them something it could be stronger sanctions against russia on ukraine it could be something related to protecting elections it could be something else related to a joint strategy to deal with the rise of populism in europe a variety of things but in fact he's come home empty handed and he's going to go home a more diminished secretary of state well it's not just a policy on iran that we've been hearing about that he's pushing but also on
11:06 am
chinese company qua way how receptive of the europeans been to the last well unfortunately they're not really taking what isn't bad advice the chinese are a little more deft these days than russia is they're really taking a velvet glove approach whereas we're getting more of the hammer from russia but the challenge is similar and over time just as sinister and that is a message them i'm afraid is not going down well in europe because they simply do not trust this administration for a whole series of good reasons what they should have done is actually said look we need your help on building up a back channel to the iranians were willing the best thing he could offer is to throw out all the preconditions to talking with the iranians using the europeans as a bridge and getting down to what could be a positive outcome but of course the europeans are now starting to think about what can we do to outlast the trump administration and and bring on another u.s.
11:07 am
president well jeff let me ask about the administration you act for the obama administration how have u.s. relations with europe changed since then. radically i mean we've seen a situation where president trump has actually accepted the help of russia to get elected and we see the fact that. russia interfered in that decisively as well and they're still not even really fully taking that on board germany and france all have been interfered with but we've seen a good response something that the us old obama time certain looking at and were pleased about which is that the populous surge was not as was expected inside the european parliament for example the new rabble rousers were only be about 12 percent in total the populace themselves will be split and whether or not mccrone
11:08 am
or merkel decide su the kingmaker or the actual new president will be there will be a clear workable majority moving forward and we've got places like bulgaria places like slovakia a whole series of places like montenegro others where we've seen positive western pro western folks in government standing against this kind of popular search on the one hand and for the old good alliances of the liberal international order on the other so moving forward from here hopefully this administration will get busy with taking away the preconditions about talking with the iranians that's something that would be very receptive to european ears jeff stacy that state department official in the obama administration speaking to us from washington d.c. thanks for being with us on outta there. saudi arabia's king found that her slander ran as a gathering of muslim heads of states in mecca he's accused of being behind what he

coast it was disastrous but it could have been far worse if where the scientists had not predicted the path of the storm and the point at which it would hit several days before date on hurricane sandy very impressive storm the national oceanographic and atmospheric agency noah says this will no longer be the case if bandwidth in space is sold off to 5 g. companies the reason noah says senses on satellites that measure crucial indicators like water vapor are being compromised by the signals from 5 g. providers in a shared bandwidth there is genuine concern here that as 5 g. is deployed in it interferes with those atmospheric signals that we're trying to detect with the weather satellites that we will not be able to provide the same quality and reliability a forecast that we have currently. but the f.c.c. and the 5 g. industry denies there would be any interference and wireless industry representative

brad gillen said in a blog post it's an absurd claim with no science behind it he maintained that no as claim relies on the study of a microwave sensor that never went to to use not so insist the scientists well i can tell you that there are many scientists know or nasa and outside of the government that are. also or international colleagues and determined that there is a serious threat here and that the science must be considered or we do risk losing our predictions or major storms that would impact society the updated senses also improve research into climate change factors a critical study given the unprecedented increase in extreme weather conditions ranging from intense drought to and seasonal storms. but this argument is rejected by influential figures in the administration who are climate change

skeptics including the president himself. officials from the u.s. state department attempting to bring the 2 sites closer together a unified position is critical as a meeting off world spectrum regulators is due to take place later this year but the scientists are hoping that the conflict will be resolved by an international convention that would deny 5 g. operators access to the same bandwidth as the weather senses. in a month that seen a series of tornadoes strike us states the fear of scientists is that the trump administration may be reluctant to sign any more international agreements and will side with those intent on securing a river news stream from 5 g. providers rather than those attempting to predict the next economically crippling threat from the weather. mike hanna al jazeera washington.
