yemen and iraq. the un special rapporteur on human rights in may in moscow is the persecution of the rangar there is still going on she says villages have been burned down in recent days and she has been prevented from getting in to gather information. british m.p.'s have made it more difficult for the next prime minister to push through a no deal bragg's it by suspending parliament the majority of m.p.'s have just voted for an amendment that would ensure parliament stays open in the run up so. the 31st deadline for briggs is jonah how joins us now from london so basically what has happened here jonah is that they've just tied up a little bit more boris johnson's hands who's expected to be the next prime minister right. yes well they've scuppered what seems to be a key part of boris johnson's plan which would have been should he be put in place
11:05 pm
after to reserve a next week to suspend or prorogue parliament send m.p.'s home during the course of september and october in order to force through or no deal breaks it on october 31st against the wishes of many m.p.'s a crucial victory this ahead of the summer recess for opponents of no deal a much bigger victory against the government than anyone expected 17 conservative party m.p.'s rebelling against the government a number of senior ministers abstaining failing to vote with the government they won't have a place in a future boris johnson cabinet that's for sure and of course all of this happening as boris johnson with every utterance seems to be pushing this country further and further down the road towards no deal and indeed in all of that he's intention or at least his willingness to entertain the idea of prorogue parliament to be sure none of this prevents or no deal breaks it which of course many people believe will be economically disastrous in this country that would require
11:06 pm
a positive act of parliament what this does is by m.p.'s time in the hope that at some point before october 31st they're able to find a mechanism to take control of the house the business of the house of commons lay their own legislation that would prevent no deal all together we're not at that point yet but they have won themselves time journal does all of this now make it more likely that they'll have to be a general election or another referendum. it certainly raises the prospects of both of those possible outcomes boris johnson has made it an absolutely central part of his campaign to succeed to the reason may that he will take this country out of the european union on october 31st do or die as he said he's made it extremely hard to renegotiate the existing deal with the european union he's put up all sorts of new red lines that seems unlikely no deal now seems more difficult than if he can't achieve that exit on october the 31st
11:07 pm
well that does push boris johnson's fledgling government into the possible realm of an election they won't want that they've got no assurance of winning it and that of course raises the prospect of those of that as an absolute last resort they may decide that a referendum is the only way of. journal their. a suspected arson attack as an animation studio in japan has killed at least $33.00 people for hours firefighters searched the building hoping to find survivors of the un has more. the fire broke out thursday morning in this popular animation production studio in kyoto fire and smoke engulfed the 3 story building as rescue teams searched for survivors. and there were some women inside the building firefighters had to break windows to pull them out. many were unable to escape with the rising death toll

11:15 pm
albright has written about the rise of fascism recently and we see that a lot of the elements we've been around this corner before in the 1930 s. in europe and so i think we need to look at history we need to look at what happed what george wallace was about we need to look at the rise of fascism in the in these other circumstances and we have a president the united states today who is overtly dividing americans remember in the last election he got 30 percent of the hispanic vote it seems to me unlikely he will get that that level of support again he may but it depends on what people's priorities are and right now we're seeing a lot of people turn a blind eye to the most overt racism we've ever seen from the white house ever in our modern history and i think it gives permission to do a lot of things it gets permission to demean the minority political factions in a in a in a democracy even as we see those institutions of democracy crumble but nonetheless it gives permission and says it's ok to see what's happening in turkey or hungary

a wall of hurry for huffed of who is now trying to take over the capital in the west is the stream now. it's 50 years since the world war 2 as u.s. astronauts last saw for the mission many to pursue or whatever then as they made those 1st uncertain steps forum. or. join us as we look at the ingenuity and those who made the journey on the 11. 50 years on and she's here and you special. welcome to the stream it is comforting to think that the stuff that we saw away will be safely recycled so why is southeast asia being deluged with waste prostate paper and electronics imported from rich countries i really could be allowed to say
11:22 pm
well look at the impact an avalanche of imported rubbish is having on people's health and the environment across that region you can join the conversation through twitter and you tube. the journey of plastic towns doesn't always and the local landfill or recycling plant a growing proportion of contaminated material instead gets loaded on to boats and ships thousands of miles to south east asian countries the region is an attractive market for scrap exporters in places such as the u.s. france and the u.k. but now countries across southeast asia are rejecting shipments last week indonesia said no to 210 tons of waste paper from australia contaminated with hazardous material in may the philippine ship $69.00 containers of waste back to canada after it had rotted in port for 5 years that was as malaysia's environment minister
11:23 pm
announced $3000.00 tonnes of plastic waste would be sent back to 14 different countries. now we know that garbage like what you see just now is traded under the pretext of recycling malaysians like any other developing countries have a right to clean air clean water sustainable resources and clean environment to live in just like citizens of developed nation. for a look at the impact of waste imports across southeast asia we are joined by legged arrow she is country director greenpeace philippines she's in caves and city. similarity is co-founder and senior advisor at nexus 3 foundation and indonesian environmental group she joins us from bangkok thailand from chicago we have kate o'neill she's an associate professor at university of california berkeley she's also author of the upcoming book waste a study of how waste is managed around the world everybody has
11:24 pm
a lady's it's good to have you with us going to start with something else that we writing this is in the print feels like a revolution here kate i mean to share but what i'm talking about here one asian country after another is shutting door away spastics the u.s. u.k. australia they're sending the rubbish back and it seems to have started with china can you explain kate oh yeah yeah it did start with china i think we didn't really realize that till 2017 that china had been taking in. the world as the square to get from the developed world assembly for recycling and. almost 2 years ago to the day china and now thought it was just going to start importing all of this stick and we're talking huge quantities hundreds of thousands of tonnes and over the 20 years or so china had been doing this very little of it had been recycled at home we had stopped developing recycling facility here and us so once
11:25 pm
china said no this is contaminated we don't want to do with. the recycling industry and i went to a spin here and it was really a 5 makeshift huge wake up call for the international community in terms of what we do with our. i'm just looking at pictures of waste being well waste just lying around actually. i'm just thinking as we're going through this in some of the pictures. what is it that is being recycled from the waste that we throw away how was it done. yeah it's interesting because the stuff that shipped to the flipping countries including to indonesia. was labeled as recyclable actually it's not recyclables most of the packaging that we saw and i saw it on the ground it was labeled current need not go.
11:26 pm
or check your local come so about. so it was a bit funny because when i saw the packaging with the signed recycling recycling sign but crossed it means it's not recyclables so i wonder how the full of nations claim that the recycling rate in their countries already reach 60 percent or 70 percent but in fact they shipped it to other countries to be recycled yes that's big chairs was from the field that i went . yeah i found lots of ways collecting collecting and separated by speakers and of course this conversation begs the question for many people in our community on why the waste is going to these countries in the 1st place so here's one view from aid she flora's who says it's a cheap source of labor that provides jobs to developing states those states can
11:27 pm
then sell recycled goods to turn a profit if the developing nation can recycle the majority of wastes it's a mutually beneficial relationship between wealthy and developed nations and developing nations so that is his take there on the reason why this is happening in the 1st place but i want to share this with you from a resident of one of those nations this from the jakarta post you see the headline there why do you always export your waste to my country indonesian preteen wrote this letter to us president trump you can see the letter there she spoke to the stream about what went behind this letter and what she's asking have a listen to what she told us. right i mean now and television i'm from the east and like in tunisia and we'll let you know for president i think you need to speed up many come to ask him stop explaining and stick wasting to this team we did and if
11:28 pm
there's any change. in our make then g.'s to simply just going to get to least in a while. we have less problems from our least in making these to what they say should to get at least these tend to need to initiate he shan't need to make them make it to the bank in change. lead tarde not to want to do whatever she says them that video i'm going to talk to her about what she said she said the u.s. should treat their own way since it seems like a rational idea there why is the waste going to southeast asia. it always is going to southeast asia because labor is cheaper to recycle that here than to process it back home and that's the whole problem about all this raise that predation that's going on. people in rich countries think that it's easier. cheaper to get rid of the waste in developing
11:29 pm
countries but i did actually means is that it goes through recycling facilities that are crude that can't recycle the waste properly or they're not recycled that like unions is is so genuine business case of sending. genuine recyclables from one country to another country one country doesn't need it another country could use it is it a genuine business case for this to happen oh it depends i was on the scrap we're looking at i mean there's been a long term trade in aluminum plastic i mean price that aluminum steel copper other kinds of scrap that can't be used efficiently here i mean in the u.s. we have affectively outsourced our manufacturing capacity as well as our recycling so yeah when you're talking that kind of scrap absolutely and i think that. to that extent yes there always is a case for a global scrap rate because just going to be thrown out here the scrap trade goes
11:30 pm
back to the 18th century. thank you and if i may say yes in the fall of being yet into flipping countries some of the recycling plans i'm actually not up to and it because people just look for opportunities economic opportunities so when china shut the door and all the traders and brokers shipped all the waste. to all the southeast asian nations we are not prepared so most of the. recycling plants i gently brand new or pop pop or is just informal activities so sometimes yeah when experts say that there are markets actually that have to define what kind of market because that in reality ocket this there but actually it's not really prepared not really built according to the
11:31 pm
standards and i don't know an example of what not being prepared looks like so i want to show you something known as the plastic river and you can see this have a look let's just roll the tape. i want you to see what we're looking at this is the plastic river known as a passive in the philippines so the philippines is grappling with his own waste issue so the idea of taking on other countries waste in bulk how do you even do that later. it's crazy actually. we take in waste from other countries and a lot of it is illegally shipped it's not like the philippines does not have a cycling industry that's as big as in malaysia or vietnam or indonesia we take in . we get shipped a lot of illegal ways only gets this covered when the containers are open for them checks in the ports. but going back to the question you posed earlier about
11:32 pm
the business case of waste or cycling and sending it to us. there are countries it's actually a flawed wadlow because it doesn't take into account the extra now that these that happen like the environmental costs of cycling whether it's. very very crude facility so there's a lot of environmental. problems that happen with that kind of recycling or whether it's in for example in cement where the plastic waste gets burnt there's a lot of environmental pollution air pollution and communities really are the ones that suffer. i mean i would i would absolutely agree with that when it comes to those sorts of wastes and i think it's just such a huge. business for people to take advantage chen mean you're talking about shipments going to the philippines and being open up i mean if these shipments came up pretty much anything and easily slipped out of developed countries and to show
11:33 pm
up and less of a paper it but then you know we've seen cases throughout history that just gets dumped on people people who come in communities in africa back in the eighty's people died directly from exposure to toxic waste from the yankees and the community is talking about what this means for the local communities where this waste is is dumb so shift on twitter says one plastic is burn it releases dangerous chemicals and these emissions are known to cause respiratory ailments and stress human immune systems and they're potentially carcinogenic another person sent us a video comment on what this means she is my guess was is a researcher at friends of the earth malaysia and here's what she told us. plastic me street and also recycling has cost to mend this impacts to the enlightenment and communities in southeast asian countries this is especially because due to rest. which has been brought in to malaysia and most of the reste that had come in were dirty contaminated and mixed plastics which could not be less recycled so this were
11:34 pm
dumped and burnt in 8 years neighboring communities and has caused a lot of burden to our environment and also communities syrian when we talk about this we're not just talking about the people who live close to these facilities but also the people who have to work in the facilities what do you know about that yes there are still in people. villages in is just far and also around. surprisingly. there are lots of activities. in panama recycling activities where communities and villages and new recyclers. in there a moment we come back to her i want to show you a couple of things that you can we miss you for a moment do pick up for us from other kenya ok yeah yes yeah i've seen that
11:35 pm
the newly the new business opened up because communities bought and wanted bought and wanted plastics from plastic recycling companies and paper recycling companies because it was smuggled bit when. imported by the company and the and wanted to waste actually also on li utilized or sold by communities maybe only 20 or 30 percent and the rest of it was just burned and. as we know that to make plastics. to make plastic there are lots of chemicals. added so when you burn. toxic. i just want to show our audience examples of we're talking about this so this is a story out has been working on for some time and we just
11:36 pm
a couple of days ago went to indonesia to talk to a fish farmer and there were just tiny little bits a plastic that he was finding in his fish so source i want to play this clip and then you pick up from the clip i'm going 1st of all. he has been working in the aquaculture industry for 15 years. more and more of his work involves clearing rubbish. pollution is a big problem every year the trash accumulates in the river making it more and more shallow it's really bad for the fish farms to fish caught in plastic waste can suffocate poor water quality also affects their growth the government wants to cut plastic debris by 70 percent by 2025 but until that happens plastic will continue to be on the menu for fish and us. ok that's so disturbing whatever other things should we be 0 aware from this dumping of trash and rubbish and then coming back to
11:37 pm
actually impact us. oh gosh yeah i mean i think in the last few years as well as the waste trade will become even more aware of the problem the plastics in the oceans which is not just traded plastics but any and all plastics from so many coastal areas and in the world based on the past we produce and was really starting to understand how much that plastic is in coal training marine life the very bases of the food chain and being carried out to humans to the food that we eat as well as all of that as that you see strewn around in coastal areas to me that is you know seeing those pictures and i was young was the reason i became an environmentalist and if it's a problem that along with climate change we're leaving to kids to to deal with and we but i think i'm right climate change is something we can do now i mean this is a problem we console if we really want to have the next 5 to 10 to 15. and when it
11:38 pm
comes to solving this problem i'll go to you with this because when it comes to solving this problem that's where the majority of people want to focus their comments on online so this on twitter this is sean who says these countries meaning countries mostly in the west need to take responsibility for their own rubbish it is a disgusting practice and must stop ship it all back and that is exactly what's happening i'll share 2 headlines here this one this came out today just this week not a dustpan cambodia to send plastic waste back to the us and canada and of course we've mentioned this when indonesia sends rubbish back to australia says it's too contaminated that was earlier this month on you tube we got a comment from someone who is excited about this and the possibility rochelle says i'm happy to see countries like malaysia reject waste imports it's about time the west and everyone deal with the consequences of their own environmentally harmful actions is this the solution taking a stand sitting
11:39 pm
a back agree but beyond that it's also what you mentioned in the 1st twitter post it's countries dealing with their own waste in that's see if there's anything that there's always street issue is the us is that countries need to deal with their own ways at home. and that includes reduction of weights traister duction reduction of plastic production ensuring that we don't produce things that are used only for a few seconds a few minutes and then thrown away because that's the. way this is all happening. yeah i've been looking at your twitter feed in and you retreated this from break free from plastic that you're holding a convention right now and you're talking about what the source of the plastics here is perhaps the actual companies who are making the plastic maybe go to the roots the source of the problem rather than wait into its already produced that is
11:40 pm
one way of doing that are you seeing the industry the posix industry changing in any way. no. and that is the biggest stumbling block right now so there's a lot of calls for i'm not just the plastic industry but also manufacturing companies you know shampoo companies so companies etc to stop packaging their their waste their products in single use plastic so for example here in the philippines we have this thing called session is which is single serve single serve chap who single serve food etc and it's all in disposable throwaway plastic so we're also in greenpeace are asking these companies to stop packaging their products in in. that kind of plastic 9. and i think you know it's not we're not getting
11:41 pm
a lot of response from the industry to minimize their plastic production and packaging their products in these containers and it's it's a big loss i think it's biggest stumbling block for countries to reduce their plastic waste there's no regulation that requires companies not to package their waste in single use plastic so this is the production of single use last that goes on and yet there is at least some demand for it from consumers like you're saying that this person is watching us live on you tube working to be self-sufficient that's their handle and they say these companies need to start by making environmentally friendly materials and then no trash would be sent anywhere so that's one take on it but i want to share a video comment from someone else pretty prolific in this world this is preachy ira
11:42 pm
sunday and he started a local movement in indonesia to stop industrial pollution from flowing into a local river he's also the father of the young woman we saw the very top of the show in that video comment and here's what he told the string. it's been a new problem for us because we have. a problem with the we is the plastic piece and then you and us company do you as he says put maher a bus ticket we say to indonesia i do this i think it's a new color now i season because you know it's difficult and expensive recycling and the plastic basically in the ways. you did in one does d. in dade county so day x 4 we said to indonesia so please don't you export more plastic we used to indonesia please don't do it that's what he said
11:43 pm
because colonialism. that is often been what has been said about a lot of environmental issues that we export up pollution to the to the global south and that's not just the waste they think him another piece of this is that even in the west we had to be taught to use disposables it was not something that we decided to do naturally back in the fifty's and i think that we've got instances where people all over the well the being told you need to use plastic this is the modern material it keeps us safe it keeps clean looks great individual servings you know so convenient and i think that's something that's been located around the world and as a few people have said in the material you've shown so far we're going to really need to focus on waste management and reduction and we take a listen that was possible to see what we did about he said it was possible to fix this issue within $5.00 to $10.00 yes. yes how the wait how the waste well you know overall producing plastic maybe that's going to take longer but i think in terms of
11:44 pm
having a phone trajectory to get waste out of the ocean to stop shipping them to where they're going to be and even talk about what their people internationally would have elop ing finding solutions or working in malaysia in southeast asia i can think of a group called circulate capital who are working really hard to establish sort of coastal waste management systems so you know why didn't the will is there the way that automatically mean i think we can do this you know i really think that people may make a guess here of the people who are really going to push and get this done as well as that gentleman and his daughter in indonesia so. you know yeah i may say 3 player like i had to go out you know and i think we're going to see the same thing. i think if not on. it's not on the column the list them but also a back step for me because we are c going back to the eighty's it was the eighty's where old of developing nations all the ways in africa and that's how we started to
11:45 pm
have you conventions past the conventions and all agreements and promise that the nations will not die their weight in the developing countries so now it's funny that we have this bigoted lifestyles we have more comfortable life but actually our behavior to the culture is just that back to the eighty's all right ridiculous that was you and a lot of you are so polite you now have one sentence what is that one's genius sentence go ahead. yeah i believe that it is race colonization this thing that's happening but more than that it's it's not just exporting with these countries are exporting their problems raise that they cannot solve they cannot solve the problem of single use plastic and they're exporting it to developing countries and that's that's really. it's. a powder. you and kate thank you so much for being with us today really closing down from

11:50 pm
loric island in the strait of hormuz the island is home to a god base and is the closest iranian territory to oman well this is how the tank a seizure was announced on iranian state television. $102.00 a patrolling operation to find in-flight fuel smuggling of ships passing through the persian gulf on sunday revolutionary boats found a foreign ship carrying 1000000 liters of smuggled fuel and after coordinating with judicial authorities they seized it and 12 crew members. bari is live for us now in tehran so it seems that details remain scant what more do we know at this stage. well apparently the revolutionary guard naval forces were patrolling this area and they were on anti smuggling missions in the waters of the strait of hormuz when they came across this vessel which they deemed to be suspicious now upon further investigation they decided to pursue legal channels to get the appropriate permits to seize this vessel they say that this ship was loaded with fuel from various
11:51 pm
iranian dows in the area and they were attempting to go further away from the strait of hormuz to sell the fuel that they have they got from iranian dows and that is when the revolutionary guard decided to seize the vessel along with the 12 crew members on board now we do not know the nationality of the crew members yet but it's something we're hoping to find out very soon now this is something the revolutionary guard has said is their main mission in the strait of hormuz the security of this area is something they take very seriously and for them it's a number one priority well let me ask you because all of this is coming off to a rainy and tanko seized by the british about 2 weeks ago but that appears to been quite a different scenario to this one. yes certainly the iranians have called the seizure of the grace one tanker on july 4th in the strait of gibraltar by the british navy as an act of maritime piracy the various levels of government here
11:52 pm
have called on the british government to release this vessel which the courts in gibraltar have ordered for it to be kept there till friday july 19th the iranians have said that there is absolutely no reason for the ship to be docked there it is carrying $2000000.00 barrels of iranian crude oil and the british government said that it was going to syria and the reason they seized this vessel was because the syrian government is under a use sentients and that is why this ship was seized but the iranians have said that that in fact was not its destination and they haven't revealed where it was going but they said that they have the europeans have no right to seize our oil it's worth about $200000000.00 worth of oil on that ship the iranians have hired legal representation they called the british ambassador in tehran to the foreign ministry a number of time to present their case from the foreign minister to about serif to the president hassan rouhani all the way up to iran's supreme leader ayatollah
11:53 pm
khamenei all these parties have called that this act and acts of piracy and they are demanding that that grace one tanker be released to the iranians as soon as possible that's a live for us in terror on with that update thank you dosa well now we can also speak to mohammad marandi who is in a rainy and a political analyst and he also is joining us from tehran mohamed given that tensions remain high in the region should we be reading this as some kind of message from tehran. well at this stage i think it's too early to say that i think that expect patients among many in iran is that if you're honest to retaliate it has to go after a far bigger target or numerous targets because many people in iran feel that. it is time for iran to push back and when the british carry out what the iranians consider an act of piracy and impede iranian tankers
11:54 pm
then the iranians which have many more many more panko is available for them to retaliate against i think iranians. they expect the government to do something on the other hand the iranians in iran there's a people's patience. is growing thin with regard to the emirates and the fact that the emirates constantly allow american drones to take off and fly alongside iranian airspace i think that things stand the emirates the british the americans are pushing. iraq towards a point where they feel they have to retaliate. mohamed said me asking because iran's revolutionary guards do patrol that area and given that it's a very busy shipping lane right so should we be reading this as a political move or simply isn't just doing that every day job. in this particular case i don't see any evidence to show that it's political
11:55 pm
because there is a lot of smuggling that goes on in the persian gulf and because you especially since iranian. fuel is very inexpensive and subsidized there is a lot of smuggling going on so this could be a part of ordinary operations carried out against such ships but i would imagine as i said earlier that if you ron was to seriously consider retaliation which i think it will do that it will go after much more significant ships to make sure the british feel the pain so at this stage i think it's too early to say that this is retaliation so mohammad marandi an iranian political analyst there speaking to us from tehran thank you for being with us mohammed thank you well iran's announcement of that ship seizure happened as u.s. central command general kenneth mackenzie was in saudi arabia he met with the saudi
11:56 pm
general in charge of the coalition fighting human streaky rebels the to discuss the situation in the gulf and how to ensure safe passage for ships off the coasts off yemen and iran let me just emphasize that we don't believe war with iran is inevitable and we don't seek war with the room. what we seek is to deteriorate them from destabilizing and malign activities across the region and we believe the recent adjustments that we've made to our force posture have had some effect toward that in i still acknowledge that tax by iranian proxies are occurring against the king or saudi arabia from yemen and that's a problem that needs to be addressed now the u.s. house of representatives has rebuked the president by voting to block the sale of some alms to saudi arabia a similar measure was passed by the senate last month bought president donald trump is expected to veto the resolutions mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . the joint resolution is passed. the house passes 3 bills expressing disapproval
11:57 pm
of arms sales to saudi arabia 238 vote in favor 190 against the 1st bill dealt with the sale of precision guided missiles the 2nd with the export of smart bombs and the 3rd was aimed at blocking the sale of fuses needed to detonate bombs the bulls had earlier been passed in the senate and will now go to the white house but president trump has made clear he exercises veto and it appears neither house nor senate could raise the 2 thirds majority that would be needed to reject the veto and pass the laws without presidential signature yet this bipartisan move by congress will have an impact this moment congress is clearly not interested in excel or reading american support for saudi arabia in its war in yemen and it's not like having its authority usurped by the executive branch when
11:58 pm
it comes to approving arms sales that's making a statement it's laying down a marker it understands that the president will ultimately get his way but over time it can wear down the opposition and potentially even override a veto. there are layers of reasons for congress's anger about president trump's relationship with saudi arabia earlier this year the president vetoed a bipartisan bill demanding an end to u.s. support for saudis war in yemen. then he invoked emergency legislation citing a threat from iran to override a congregational ban on weapon sales and thirdly they're still intense and gain congress at the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi and the steadfast refusal of president trump to hold the saudi leadership accountable but even if or when the president vetoes the latest round of legislation there will be more to come in particular a bull demanding a report from the u.s. intelligence community about the call shoji murder that has been included in the
11:59 pm
house version of the defense authorization bill 2020 that was passed by a resoundingly vote of 405 to 7 mike hanna al jazeera washington. well the united states and turkey may be longtime nato allies but that wasn't enough to stop washington from kicking techie out of its f.s.b. 5 fighter jet program a move and chris says it will harm their relations the program is designed to sell taki more than $100.00 american f. $35.00 stealth jets and to train turkish pilots on how to use them but now it's been suspended and the pilots are being expelled from the united states stephanie decker reports. the clear statement of intent by the united states to remove turkey from its f. 35 program in reaction to turkey buying the s 400 air defense system from russia and receiving the 1st shipments the u.s. and other f. 35 partners are aligned in this decision to suspend turkey from the program and
12:00 am
initiate the process to formally remove turkey from the program as president trump said in his statement today the u.s. still values our strategic partnership with turkey the us president made it clear he blamed the previous administration for refusing to sell the u.s. patriot air defense system to turkey in the 1st place he wanted to buy a patriot missile we would sell it and then when he made a deal and he really wanted to buy it there when he made a deal with another country russia to buy this is them that he didn't even want that all of a sudden we say oh ok we'll see you will now sell you the patriot and because of the fact he bought a russian missile we're not allowed to sell of billions of dollars worth of aircraft it's not a fair situation if you have something to them that's are you going to want i think so that you said the right thing. but it is a serious matter turkey it's going to.
