destroyed their house in. an opposition controlled town and centered at lip. the 1st missile hit while he was playing outside with the cat and the 2nd missile hit next to our house our house was destroyed and we couldn't see anything in front of us we removed some blocks and found he's had that is when the ambulance arrived . that was that. was. the russian backed syrian government offensive in the north west is entering its 9th week nearly 500 civilians have been killed in air and ground bombardment that has been targeting rebel controlled towns in northern hama and southern over $300000.00 syrians have fled the area and moved closer to the turkish border. as this country one town in south and people fled to due to intense bombardment by assad's terrorist regime and that

terrorists russian occupiers 120000 people used to live here excluding the displaced syrians. the world food program says it is helping 200000 displaced syrians but its operations have been interrupted in some areas because of the violence it is home to 3000000 people half of them already refugees from other parts of syria that if he is racing against the clock to support all the ready to eat food that doesn't have to cook. in the camps and wherever they are while we continue our regular operation and scaling it up to some 800000 people every. the demands on aid are expected to grow thousands of acres of farmland have been destroyed in recent weeks many blame the syrian government for deliberately targeting the fields as they have done in past offensives to punish those who live in rebel areas and force a surrender. the opposition has not surrendered rebels are holding ground hundreds

of fighters on both sides have been killed along the front lines 8 weeks of intense bombardment and the pro-government side has taken little territory. the united nations is warning the offensive is creating a humanitarian disaster that has been calling on turkey and russia guarantors of a cease fire to help revive the agreement but for now their proxies engage in battle to gain political leverage. beirut. middle east and north africa bureau director for the office of the u.n. high commissioner for refugees he told us civilians must be taken to safe areas where they can get food and medicine. we have calling on all parties to observe international norm international humanitarian law for some for wants to give access to people to leave the fighting and reach safe area. to allow humanitarian agencies to access the area so that they can deliver they can deliver food supplies and

medicine. who are suffering also warned we have over 25250 almost 300 people that we have many probably in the hundreds if not thousands that are injured and i think this situation is not really sustainable and the world the world is watching this and recall of the parties to really go back the previous poster of the world. will have to face the consequences of this war of the casualties obligato really thought that with cease fire in some instances children women the weak the frail to find safety. in the surrounding areas or even far from the from the from the conference on it's only the principle of humanitarian. principle that can hold in such the circumstances they need food they need to water the doors so needs the health of those who are when the thunder swatter up under the rubble and also we have people who are frail who need medicine they need they need they need to really

a breeze they need to run to safety and we're just asking just out to the both sides. it's a confluence situation i think someone up north to the toward the turkish border there may not be crossing but these that have been away from the fighting some went to other districts and governors some went to hama homes. and so in other places so people basically as soon as they find a way and access a safe access away from the fighting they would take it and i'm just calling. isis . thousands of people displaced by the fighting in central mali are struggling to feed themselves the conflict between herders and farmers belonging to rival ethnic groups has led to the deaths of hundreds of people and webb has this report now from the region i would a 1st call malaria then became constipated her mother mariam says they only have

rice left to eat in their village and so eyes weight plummeted. i was. all mean i went to a pharmacy that the medicine didn't work so i try traditional medicine but we still thin so i came to the hospital and we're still here there are always some severely malnourished children in hospital wards like this one in central mali worsening drought and extreme poverty play their part but the un says escalating violence in the region has made it worse. nearly 50000 people have fled their villages after a series of attacks by militia connected to the don't go on and few lonny ethnic groups the landscapes dry at the best of times now many go on who are mostly farmers far from their crops and many forlornly herders animals have been stolen or killed banditry has made road transport too dangerous. for centuries the river in

asia played a crucial role in transporting food and other goods around this region these boats bring produce from farming areas and it's traded here at the port in the town and not to these sacks of ground up rice husks will be sold and fed to cattle the interdependence between the herders and the farmers as lasted for centuries as well the herders buy food from the farmers and in the dry season the farmers pay the herders to take their livestock out onto the plains for grazing but that interdependence is now strained. hundreds of been killed in the last 3 months as militia connected to both groups of burned homes and massacred villages. many of those who fled to the safety of nearby towns are hungry. instead of handing out food un's world food program is keeping credit on cards to people to buy from local traders they have the right to trolls on their free for this is helpful before 13

is a study is 1st organized repatriation of its citizens from the conflict hundreds of foreign fighters and the children are being held in counts across syria off the defeat of much. the opportunity now is for these young children who are coming back to australia and i can't be held responsible for the crimes of their parents i mean the fact that you would take a child and put them in a conflict zone like this is despicable and i for the disgusting. but the children. can't be held responsible for that and when we have kissed carefully considered their cases then we have taken action to scifi repechage them and will consider any other such cases particularly in the security issues. protesters in hong kong have blocked the entrance to the city's tax offices as they try to keep up the pressure on the government over a controversial extradition bill and thomas was there for us. this is

a good example of the protesters new tactics disrupting the lives of government workers the business and government while not disrupting the lives of ordinary people in this city this building is hong kong's revenue tower essentially its tax office and there are only about $150.00 protested to block the entrance but at a pretty good job making it clear that they are going to keep the protest going will be at a low level in between the big marches one of them due on wednesday another on the 1st of july so what is it you can still get in and out was a car passed through that door a couple of stories down and the work is getting down into the lift and getting back up that way but the entrance what you can see it's on a completely pull off the idea is a visual representation that they're not going away and these protests often teemu in the city based is all about keeping the minutes and going while not disrupting the lives of ordinary people in the city too much the idea is to keep public

opinion on the protestors site. but china says it won't allow any discussion about hong kong's mass protests at this week's g. 20 summit in japan. what i can tell you for sure is that the g 20 will not discuss the hong kong issue hong kong is china's special administrate of region and these matters are purely internal so we will not permit any country or person to interfere the g 20 is an international economic summit and this isn't my definition this is the definition given by g 20 leaders so its focus is coordinating macro level policy and cooperation to tackle challenges in areas such as the global economy trade and finance so much in a day when anyone with basic computer software could create a convincing yes absolutely fake video of someone committing a crime or putting a world leader in a compromising situation well robert is now reports days already here

from the conflict as the headlines always got inside story minutes. a major defeat for turkey's ruling party in istanbul's rerun of his mayoral election the country's biggest city will now be ruled by the opposition for the 1st time in a quarter of a century so what are the consequences for president earlier on and the. this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm peter dalby it took a quarter of a century but opposition finally worked out how to defeat president wretch up tie purdah one republican people's party candidate. has snatched election victory for a 2nd time and is mayor elect for istanbul a city that is long being governed by mr irwin's a k party the president considers it decisive in shaping turkish politics and it's kind of personal for him too it is his political base from where he began his korea as a mayor and missed him a motu is now seen by many as a rising challenger he struck a positive message during his campaign with the slogan everything will be fine but is that really true if we're getting into the meat of our discussion reports now from istanbul. he stumbled changes hands for the 1st time since 1994 the main opposition c.s.p. candidate. has been elected mayor of the city in

a controversial run that's has polarized the. nation the 49 year old mayor was relatively unknown but has managed to win the backing of crucial allies such as the kurdish people's democratic party the s.d.p. stand. i'm ready to work with the turkish president in harmony and i aspire to do that i am announcing that in front of all the residents of istanbul once the legal process is completed after receiving the men date and assuming the office i would like to visit and as soon as possible to present a road map and opinions and listen to his views. remember all those weigh in is a major setback for ben ali yielded and former prime minister and party's candidate for the mayoral election gilder is loss is widely interpreted here as an indication of a party's waning influence. according to the results as

a now my competitors in the race i congratulate him and wish him good luck. will march 31st. defeated his wife will by a narrow margin a party contest to the outcome claiming that some of the results weren't ratified by election officials the higher election board ordered a reelection undeterred by the decision it. held multiple rallies reminding his supporters the victory was stolen by our party. because none of the democracy has won justice has won our people care about democracy i congratulate the future president of the country told our papers we increased our gains by having more votes from the uk party supporters which means they're also disgruntled. the new mayor faces the delicate task of running the country's biggest wealthiest and most populous city but his supporters already see him as the right person to run against

president reza they have done in the 2023 presidential election although this is a local election it's all to come as likely to shape the future of a party which faces a deepening crisis loyalists and people across the country all agree ad dollars ruling party has failed to fix the economy in tatters. it's the board. so what is the republican people's party well it's the oldest party in turkey it was formed in 1923 by the founder of the turkish republic most of a kemal ataturk opposed to the conservative party the c.h.p. promotes itself as a secular center left and social democratic movement the c.h.p. mainly defines itself as a defender of so-called kamala's principles of republicanism and nationalism the c.h.p. has managed to position itself as the main opposition party in the turkish parliament its candidate what i mean she was president of the ones closest rival in last

year's presidential poll. ok let's get going let's bring in the panel today here on inside story joining us from berlin is gallup the live visiting scholar at the university of oxford from ankara more of a member of the republican people's party the c.h.p. and from brussels we're talking to mark purina formally the e.u. ambassador to turkey gentlemen welcome to you all more or at in ankara if i can come to you 1st mr ima moon who is on record now as saying this is a new beginning that sounds like a very big promise. well seems so. but the thing is you know as a matter of fact. getting 54 percent against be not a young veteran. who has been supported by all the turkish state media or the state establishment the bureaucracy and everything especially backed

by by the president is really a huge thing you know it's a wonderful. threshold i would say and the political history of of the last 25 or 17 years from wherever you start whether it is the 1994 or 2002 when a.k.p. stepped in but the thing is stumble has been or had been in the hands of. the man and his party members for the last 24 years the 1st mayor being himself and now it has changed hands and as you may remember he was saying i mean the president of the republic was saying. is stumble represents the whole of turkey. the

overall population in turkey therefore whoever marry whomever wins istanbul will be ruling turkey is extremely important and actually exam day. extremely moment has done exactly that so he won a great great victory a great victory there is a 9 percent difference between himself and be 90 of them so this is indeed a threshold a new beginning. for the turkish politics paul politician political life i'd say to lie in berlin it is a huge pledge a huge promise can mr deliver on what he promised during 2 election campaigns. well it's passed i was part of the promise that we were talking about you know he is being elected as the mayor of istanbul of east and now his many is not just

confined to be the mayor of istanbul he has gotten a political meaning that is beyond istanbul but nevertheless at this stage as an executive role the the role that he has in the limb or the task that he has the deliver is very much related to the istanbul so this is what we are going to see strong because i think that the government of the activities that the government must do is to try to undermine him at the polls by increasing the power of the municipal council by increasing the power of the government appointed governor with of is the mayor so this is like you know what we need to see but at the same time the question is what dull 2nd among all represent at this stage. his meaning as i said is what goals i'm trying to the mayor of the stumble he clearly demonstrated that there is a growing back to looking back to the country the question is is it the candidate

that will fill the vacuum or is it the candidate that opens the gate for the others to feel this vacuum as well too because i think with the election really wrong with the decision to rerun the election the governing party to president obama has taken a grave risk by you know by turning this election as in a sense iraq from them on the government's policy completely and therefore what has been the feed a lot yesterday in istanbul is not jaws candidates which is the benoliel that i'm. one of the 1st thing that in this regard the government has to do is 1st correct to define what was defeated yesterday in istanbul obviously it's not just and that for the to become the mayor of istanbul what has been the fit is more than this is a spiral of a whole this is the nature of governance that the country has been with has been experiencing it is the populism that has been nationalist populism that the country has been experiencing so do answer would be well for the government will withdraw

will draw the right lessons from this and also not only draw the right lessons from the government or force the right responses to these to this defeat as well true because reducing this defeat to laws or a municipal course will be mis understanding of it from the start ok let's put those points to mark here in brussels mark if you were still ambassador ping pong in between ankara and istanbul would you be telling your bosses in brussels in strasburg look politics in turkey has changed changed for the better and perhaps changed forever. i would tell them that things have changed but i wouldn't go too far and too soon essentially what we've seen yesterday's number one democratic resilience in istanbul and number 2 a sort of. reluctance to continue is autocracy what has been defeated is basically literacy so it's

a local election 20 percent of the population and one set of g.d.p. it's no small thing to be the mayor of istanbul if. my a.k.p. into look at those in my days in opera would tell me old a dime if you compare you stumble to a european country this is somewhere in between the netherlands and belgium that is position number 9 so that is a big win for mr to himself he probably didn't expect these big a win but moving from such 100000 said team 1000 vote margin to nearly 800000 is a huge thing and this says essentially been engineered not so much by mr amano to itself but but by president ed on who as it was just said sort of transformed these municipal election into sort of referendum now i'm watching 2

different things and i'm sure the e.u. here i'm sitting next to the european council building in the back of me you see the open commission building they're watching 2 different things one is that is the leadership in ancora going to let the municipal council of these them will work properly all will they invent new limits new financial regulations on public tenders for example things of that so that could genuinely limit the powers of mr nominee and the 2nd thing is given the rejection of president add on's style of politics which is going much further. the stubble election will the president draw some lessons in terms of economic policy in terms of rule of law in terms of front policy and that we still have to see of course ok let's put that idea of economic policy tomorrow in ankara the economic policy to date as far as mr erdogan has has been concerned when he's turkish president has been you leverage your debt

in u.s. dollars that's always going to have a big impact on your currency a negative impact which it's done you've got unemployment running at 19 or 20 percent on paper mr emotion who has no skill set to run a country he may be able to run a city but running a country between now and when he decides maybe to go for the presidency in 2023 or if the election comes around before then that's a completely different game well let me put it this way. as of today. one of the main reasons. why the turkish people i mean the people in istanbul have voted for you. in a landslide slide i would say as it has been 9 percent you know. is the fact

that we are also under an economic crisis as you have suggested the unemployment rate is extremely high and you know part from that the exports are down and the growth rate is very much down and this has you know all been because of the fact that out of the on has. a president has lost credibility has caused lost credibility in the eyes of ignore a millimeter interrupt you there for a 2nd may dances that is in the manifesto that is the manifesto for the mayor mayor elect the mayoral candidate as was now the merrill act i'm trying to get you to tell us if he rides the wave of a unified c h p and he decides to stand for the presidency between now and 2023 what are his fiscal policies that will reverse what mr erdogan has done which is

boral his way out of an economic recession which never works any place in the world never has never will. well the thing is it is too early to jump onto conclusions like that you know just legan besser there mark my dear friend told you but the point is there are 2 very important. aspects that i wish to bring to your attention and one of them is that the people were sick and tired of all the pressures that were you know the oppression of padrón and you know all the limitations on their freedom of speech etc etc and then the 2nd thing was they had lost whole you know they had lost all hope for the future for the 1st time for

the 1st time the youngsters who have been you know saying that they would rather like to go to germany or to european countries in order to get a better future you are now seeing inside turkey that they have a new hope which has been materialise in the policies of a tram a criminal ok so the hope side of it is extremely important ok i'm going to stop you then because i don't know because you are you are tending towards repeating yourself such want to take that turn it around a little bit and set put that point towards gallup delight in berlin clearly gallup the people in charge of the money the people who got their their hands on the wallets in ankara and istanbul can i suggest to you that if they don't trust mr the one do they trust mr immortal and him being the mayor of istanbul when he

walks into the office that's a dry run for something bigger i think at this stage this extra minute speculative discussion that we're up what not what we. we don't know what policy or the mobile will be because the mobile was elected as a memo is them will he is in no way in charge of it he is in no way is responsible to provide an economy policy or a proposal for anyone who bombs it or truck at this stage because what would be expected from him would be to delivering the municipal services the municipal. minister of activities not like you know providing a new blueprint for the turkeys economy how it would turn his economy walls and took his political war so this is not there and at this stage we have not seen we don't know anything or where doesn't imola stance on all these major issues because we are coming all busy and champaign period within all of us could not stop us well

there istanbul is much more significant than. a satellite town outside of ankara it is crucially important it is the jewel in the crown we set up this this time yesterday and i know it is the jewel in the crown of turkish politics it is massively important. we don't that's all like you know what is known about the stumble so there is nothing new when we define somewhat the question that you're putting it what i'm saying is that these days we cannot have a discussion on this a we don't know where does what us is that is in office policies because they cannot remember what was and are not names under poor months ago so within the present for 6 months or when the election campaign started so he was the mayor office small district in istanbul where he was not responsible or any big questions of the government or governance but at this stage immobile is being sent by many people as a potential contender challenger for underground bunker on the go for a presidential election but this is that you know

a big if because we don't know whether the turkish call this will see new actors that is emerging because there's another possibility and now we see we're discussing this cousin the possibility that the new word is to emerge from within the conservative circle as well to that mayes split from the uk party that may emerge as new actors so like 3 or 4 years from now or turkish politics from a comic just as a century just look at the last 3 or 4 years what has happened in turkey that's also you know the things that can be basically confined into like you know 3 or 4 dates in other countries ok so let me bring in the if you very again dishonest this come down to in the next year or so mr erdogan wants reaction what happens if he comes out wanting to very publicly build more of a democratic turkey as opposed to wanting to kill or neuter or imprison democracy. well 1st i will say the economy crisis which turkey us and sons is

very largely controlled by the president that on one is the debt crunch 2nd is nonsensical theories about interest rates and surge the minister in charge of economy and finances he's on the low this i'll direct and he has 0 credibility on the markets so this is not going to wait until the next presidential election this is a question of weeks and months whether turkey goes to the i.m.f. where the turkey finds somebody else somewhere like china and something to rescue but the economy is on the verge of collapse and this is very urgent said mr immobile who has little to do he has no handle to to to react to these secondly as you point out the wider impact of these city stumbled action is essentially on rule of law on governance whether mr dog will want on the

lot to take some lessons from what happened yesterday this is a landslide it's a landslide on the on on about the stumbled you can be little it to some extent but it's huge i mean 800 cells and votes these huge. is a face full companion of me from a lot of time is the one who has built all these bridges high speed rail ways boards and so on and so forth which where the pride of the a.k.p. until now so the defeat is is there but the difficulty in turkey internally answering the. big half of the turkish citizens that are asking for more difficulty and externally asking for more rule of law if not then in foreign investors will not come well that says this is a real challenge now mr probably will have some messages to the president but the

president can fairly we ignore them so the ball in this respect is very much in the president's ad what kind of lessons will it draw from his personal defeat yesterday ok tomorrow to nick in ankara briefly please what if some of the rumors are true and there are members of the a k party who are biding their time and they are planning rival political parties and they are we we're being told by the rumor mill planning on announcing this in the next year or so. yes i was i wanted to jump in in order to tell you a few developments in the political arena here and you know the new parties that will be declared pretty soon one is by john which they say is certain and they say is going to be supported by

a block our former president and i think they're planning to step in into the political realm of this country by by having left us say 3040 parliamentarians from the turkish parliament to join them and which will substantially reduce the power of out of the one now the reason in my for former speech or. by alluding to what we have got to wait as as far as a tribunal is. implementation is the following it is a fact that he is going to take steps. towards democracy ok but i want to talk to you never which i again i apologize i want to put the last 20 seconds of an answer to gallup delight gallup you have 20 seconds is it fair to say turkey is now heading into

a period of uncertainty but certainly it may be instability. well i will feel like it will be a political pluralism that will see more and more and some of the things will be that will be on certainty but these are certain they will not be a bad thing in itself because previous you were at the moral police office you know power and it's legal per quarter in a single person over the whole process now there are new worries and that creates uncertainty but also the great cause of the atmosphere to come up with much more creative solutions and a much more creative ways to deal with the drug is burgeoning crisis and was ok gentlemen thank you so much thank you to our guests they were gallup july and mark perry and thank you to you too for your company you can see the program again any time via the website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also carry on the conversation on twitter at a.j. inside story of i'm at peta don't be one for me to don't be on the entire team here

a middle east tour saudi arabia britain and the u.a.e. blame iran for destabilizing the region. was. it was supposed to be a humanitarian corridor but on the ground it's a very different story for the people of it live in syria. i'm barbara starr in london with the top stories from europe including that man take to be britain's next prime minister is under increasing pressure in iraq following a police visit tourist house in sport the hosts for the 2026 winter olympics have just been announced. since he's been called to the winning the votes ahead of a rival bit from sweet. so just as he promised donald trump has signed an executive order issuing new economic sanctions against iran this time around the target is iran's supreme leader and his

associates and it comes just after the u.s. the u.k. the u.a.e. and saudi arabia released a joint statement calling it more pressure on iran they blame the islamic republic for destabilizing the gulf region. the supreme leader of iran is one who ultimately is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime he's respected within his country is offers overseas the regimes of most brutal instruments including the islamic revolutionary guard corps sanctions imposed through the executive order that i'm about to sign will deny the supreme leader in the supreme leader's office and those closely affiliated with him and the office access to key financial resources and support. the assets of khamenei and his office will not be spared from the sanctions these measures represent a strong and proportionate response to iran's increasingly provocative actions and

just after that statement the us treasury secretary steve miniature now outlined the sanctions in detail saying they would target assets with billions of dollars. along with our existing sanctions authorities we have additional sanctions to go after the supreme leader's office and lock up literally billions of dollars more of assets along with that action today we are also announcing specific actions targeting those responsible for recent activities we are have sanctions against bad behavior and there's no question that locking this money up worked last time and there's no question locking the money up works now once again we've got to the in teheran who will speak to in a moment starting with rosalynn jordan in washington no rose donald trump calls them hard hitting sanctions what's your opinion of them do they look that tough.

well i think they're hard hitting it's only because of the people who are being hit with these sanctions they are the usual freezing of economic assets if for example if one of these people either the supreme leader ali khan and they or the leaders of the i.r.g.c. the various military branches if any of them had a bank account here in the united states the money in that account would be frozen and the bank would be required to report that account to the u.s. treasury department these men have also been hit with a travel ban they are not going to be able to come to the united states even to transit to the united nations for any reason unless there were a specific override issued from the white house so in terms of the kind of sanctions that are being imposed these are the typical sanctions but the u.s. government is with us to mading that the spell on effect from these sanctions could

be more than a $1000000000.00 how they calculate that is really anyone's guess but the u.s. has long argued that the i.r.g.c. basically has been skimming from the coffers and the iranian government in order to not just carry out its operations but essentially to pay off proxy groups and to pay off those who support. its work around the middle east work which the united states government says is just stabilizing just one other quick question for you rosen and that's about the joint statement that came out u.s. u.k. u.a.e. saudi arabia take us through that one. well this statement came out earlier on monday before the president announced that he was sanctioning the supreme leader and the top i.r.g.c. military leadership this statement once again criticized the recent attacks on shipping vessels in the gulf and in the strait of hormuz attacks which the u.s.

says intelligence proves was the work of the i.r.g.c. but the statement overall was really dealing with the ongoing civil war in yemen blaming iran for supporting who the fighters who want to take control of that country and saying that the u.s. saudi arabia the united arab emirates and the united kingdom are looking for a way to try to resolve the crisis in yemen that they support the ongoing u.n. support process to negotiate an end to the civil war and that they are looking for iran to essentially withdraw its support from hutu rebels and try to promote more stability in that part of the middle east rosalyn jordan in washington d.c. with all those days house thank you now dosage of barry in teheran again same sort of questions when trump talks about hard hitting sanctions what is that what might that actually translate to in a country which is already got so many sanctions on it.

yes come all prior to this announcement there was the foreign minister had said there's really nothing left for president tom to sanction in iran and this is really seen as the last resort that all that's left for them really to sanction and these sanctions are not going to have real hard tangible effects for those that are being sanctioned the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has not left the islamic republic since 1989 just before he was appointed to his current position as the head of the state and also the commander in chief of the armed forces there are 78 rather commanders from the revolutionary guards who are also sanctioned but these people are hardly ever traveled to the united states or anywhere in that region of the world so this will be seen as more of a symbolic gesture rather than an actual tangible sanction where they will see

effects these people are the highest ranking officials inside iran and this act will be seen as another aggressive act by the u.s. government in trying to isolate iran further but in terms of real effects the these officials will most likely say they will not affect their lives and that it is just another step in trying to further isolate iran and be seen as a move to escalate further at the divisions that exist between the 2 sides. in tehran thank you all tension between iran and the u.s. has been increasing since president trump talk office of course from pulling out of the 2050 nuclear deal to the incidents in the gulf of oman shell ability takes a look now at how we got to this point. this is a sort of brinkmanship between the u.s. and iran began last year as president donald trump pulled out of the 25th a nuclear deal he said iran was a threat in the middle east and a new plan was needed this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made here impose

sanctions and all guests started to squeeze iran's economy and that iran's foreign minister to say the sanctions always hurt but sanctions never change policy. people have to make that distinction it seems that the united states is addicted to sanction is addicted to course it trump continued with a tactic of maximum pressure in early april he does it next to the islamic revolutionary guard corps a branch of iran's armed forces a terrorist organization the masquerade as a legitimate military organization but not of us should be for iran responded by does igniting seem calm a terrorist organization that's america's military hub for the middle latest and early may the white house deployed a carrier strike group to the gulf in response to undefined iranian threats against u.s. interests the pentagon supplemented that with an extra $2500.00 military personnel

to the region iran announced it would suspend some of its commitments in the nuclear deal and threaten to increase uranium enrichment the u.s. code it nuclear extortion there in full commercial ships including 2 saudi arabian oil tankers were damaged here in the waters off the united arab emirates trump blamed iran iran tonight involvement and a month later 2 oil tank is here in the gulf of maan near the strategically important strait of hormuz crewmembers were evacuated again the u.s. blamed iran giving media this video or illegally showing iranian sailors removing a mine from one of the ships iran again denied involvement and on thursday it is still late into the air iran shot down a u.s. drone where iran said it was in the air space the u.s. said it was not to give a last warning at 355 and when it continued into a territory it was shot down of 5 iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down

over iran for trying to cork we fall as a ranch showed off what it says it was the wreckage of the drone trump tweet it the city had come within 10 minutes of retaliation on 3 iranian sites but didn't to avoid fatalities. joel rubin with us now president of the washington strategy group and a former deputy assistant secretary of state in the obama administration. i should just ask you a similar question i asked our correspondent a moment ago when you've got a country and an economy like iran which is already sanctioned up to the idols what does more sanctions do do they have this hard has a defect that the president talks about. it's great to be with you and these sanctions are going to certainly send a message a signal of a president from trying to show in a sense that he is serious because he's received a lot of subtle criticism here by some of his hardest right wing allies about not

engaging military action against iran and it's a bit of a consolation prize in many ways for a domestic political consumption much more so than the actual effect and that's the danger here is that both sides continue to be playing to their bases not talking to each other in a constructive way and so the underlying conditions that lead us into this moment have not changed and are those the type of conditions which could lead to escalation that in one sense when you talk about countries of yielding to their bases it sounds like they could actually keep a lid on things but equally i wonder if it could work the other way well right now here in washington the base for a trial is mixed in terms of not really busy wanting to see war politically but the court's team around him is very much in favor of military action all of his top advisers the vice president secretary of state defense national security advisor they all supported bombing iran on thursday night and the same goes for the ira g.c. .
