8:01 am
a failed coup the man behind the rebellion is killed by security forces. it only took a couple of clicks on the keyboard to change. its of that of a mere putin and we dive into the wild of fake videos and look at their implications for politicians and elections. now iran has accused the us of closing the channel of dick of diplomacy forever after president obama trump imposed new sanctions on tehran leadership the measures go all the way up to the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei mike hanna reports from washington. as promised another round of sanctions against iran these in addition to a number already put in place and directed at the country's most senior leaders president trump did not elaborate on the precise nature of the sanctions apart from
8:02 am
saying that they would bar the leaders from access to financial instruments i want to thank our military i want to thank all of the people that have been working with me over the last number of months on this there's a lot of restraint has been shown by us a lot of restraint. and that doesn't mean we're going to show in the future no complete details provided by the treasury secretary either but speedman did confirm that some of the sanctions are a direct response to last week's attack on a u.s. drone iran contended the drone had penetrated its space an accusation denied by the u.s. i'm not going to identify which ones or which i've said that some of this was in the works some of this is a result of recent activities deep concern once again expressed by the u.n. secretary general he has urged all sides to show nerves of steel and he is continuing to maintain that and he wants to make sure that they. take steps to
8:03 am
avoid any further sorts. of provocation one way or the other the u.s. is ramping up its diplomatic actions against iran the secretary of state shuttling through several gulf states including saudi arabia to shore up a wide anti iran alliance but at the same time a carrot of sorts being extended with the stick the white house releasing a statement saying the president has been clear that he's open to the possibility of future talks with iran mike hanna al-jazeera washington well even though the u.s. says it's open to talks iran's ambassador to the u.n. says tehran will not accept talks with washington while it's under sanctions. dialogue has certain rules and certain regulations you cannot start a dialogue with somebody who is threatening you who is intimidating you to date you just witness that the united states impose another set of set of sanctions against
8:04 am
iran how your started dialogue with somebody whose primary preoccupation. is is to put more sanctions on iran saw that the atmosphere of such a dialogue does is not ready yet well ali we spoke to earlier vies who is the director of the iran project at the international crisis group and he says the mixed signals coming from washington could escalate the situation even further. there seems to be a clear division fissure within the trumpet ministration in the sense that the president is primarily interested in reaching a better and broader deal with iran but no one in his national security team shares that objective and in fact that's why the trumpet ministrations iran policy i think is on a collision course with itself in the sense that the president wants to avoid a war but his policy is leading us towards the war every escalation is bringing us closer to a brink of an escalation that could result in
8:05 am
a catastrophic military clash and i don't think the president would be able to achieve a negotiated solution with this cast of characters that are currently surrounded that they run ins have a lot of experience living under sanctions and they're quite resilient however this time u.s. sanctions have proven to be much more effective that the dissipated and the situation might be sustainable in the short run but it is not in the medium to long term and that's why they have put aside their maximum patience policy that they implemented during the 1st year of the trumpet ministrations maximum pressure strategy and now are starting to push back they're starting to roll back some of their commitments under the nuclear deal they're starting to push back in the region and again the problem by the iranian policy of imposing a cost on on the u.s. administration is that it actually increases tensions and the risk of an inadvertent conflict in the region. well the u.s. will reveal the economic part of its middle east peace plan as

a meeting in bahrain later on shoes day but protests have taken place across the palestinian territory as anger grows against one president donald trump has called the deal of the century protesters in the occupied west bank and images of the king of bahrain and one and real gaza resident dressed as former p.l.o. leader yasser arafat brandished a gun and several burning images of u.s. president donald trump well it's white house senior adviser jarred christian who'll be leaving the 2 day workshop and before flying to bahrain he spoke to al-jazeera and said that this new initiative should bring the palestinians and the region an opportunity for stability. so right now from unama we're focused on the economic aspects of what could be possible if there is a resolution but what i will say is that you know all of the people i speak to you know they talk about the arab peace initiative and again it was a it was a great effort but if that was where a deal was going to be made a deal would be made a long time ago i think we all have to recognize that if there ever is
8:07 am
a deal it's not going to be along the lines of the arab peace initiative will be somewhere between the arab peace initiative and somewhere between the israeli position and we need to think about what are the fundamental things that are underlying important number one is security right i think the israeli population and the palestinian population and the broader middle east right now cares a lot about have security the more you have security the more you could have free or flow of goods free flow of people i know that's a very big issue for the palestinians they want to be able to move through the borders i think the cost of goods are too high because it takes a long time to get through the borders but there's a direct correlation between the ramping up of terror and the threat to israel and the slowing down of the borders and so you know if we can create an environment where there's actual peace and again peace comes from compromise and we'll figure out what the right elements of that are the right time then that is the necessary precondition to be able to implement a lot of the economic reforms that we're going to talk about at this conference. payment one as an author and the editor of the grazing project dot com an online news website and he says that question has an ulterior motive behind his middle

east that. it's already a failure the palestinian leadership which was created through plan a the oslo accords participated willingly in a process that would have granted them a minimal modicum of sovereignty and offered them a pseudo state and what we have here is not even a plan b. what we have is plan b. b. as offered by netanyahu is friend family friend jared cushion or and i suspect that jared cushion or and his gaggle have all teary or motives motives here what they've offered as a plan that the links the economic situation of palestinians from the political. situation of occupation and apartheid which is responsible for their economic plight and what i think cushion or aims to do is present something so unpalatable that hill have the opportunity to paint palestinians as rejectionists thereby clearing political space for an extension failure for jared cushion or might mean

a success that justifies antics ation by strengthening netanyahu is hand and saying hey the palestinians rejected all of this economic opportunity but of course it's economic opportunity that doesn't relieve the political pain of occupation that has cost palestinians on told billions of dollars and that this plan is actually political leverage on behalf of his family friend netanyahu and the settlement movement in israel which seeks antics ation in the jordan valley he won around the mega settlement of ma'ale adumim and arielle the general accused of aiding an attempted rebellion and ethiopia's and horan region has been shot dead for senior officials but the cheering the attempt to overthrow a regional government on saturday and now 3 days of mourning have been declared in the am horror region our correspondent a haunting is following developments from at us about the. the man responsible for the coup attempt in northern ethiopia over the weekend. is dead we just spoke to
