please come from possibly from one person from one of these asian company to the other those that are very difficult to be one who is acting. and when. my name is mike and i mean i'm trying to reach to into. the 2nd issues and you have to do your own. good it could be take pro but a. very important thing now going into amazing fact that there are higher you're here. but you know i have nothing ignited. i'm very much support and i have been to several places and they usually skews this is when 20 is all we give them to charity and i find these a skewes rather funny. you know because it doesn't take away the problems it

doesn't take away the complicity and it doesn't take away the. blamed. today business on the fish for 2nd plan for the u.s. and spain. this is. generated by developed countries should go forsake. the shredder is done using proper equipment with a hill specialized machine. which is protective. you don't have to use just like the

children and in dumb side enough for. a full 90 percent of the materials i reuse of tools. let me ask you this question you have this wonderful recycling facility so why do we still hope the little electronic was illegally being dumped in gonna for instance. they don't. go to the black market to block that i don't know but don't really think it is that we are safe 25 percent. want to consider wrist what does a go i don't know. become to my country ready

ready ready ready ready ringback. this is a tracker for money during a waste so in this way we can control what are the movement from didn't quite extreme point to their treatment plans. so it means that one's it is installed in the us makes him full of the movement. and possibly final destination here just for him and. i think is very important so we can get to simply live wire to send it in the way these things are or let's go.

now we have this is. a computer we can follow this ng now from the subtle as. we can see down the street we are going on to the next. i'm taking the discarded computer with a tracking device to a public collection point. i wonder were it was and. this is so old you know we control all the money in the races this is the battle of this morning because an indication of this leave where we have a place so we can go that isn't in this good field so we have a rio to be chair of the players we have this in this one it so it's possible to track all the way to god yet when we see this thing not all we can say is sing

gonna. get a last minute i was happy to program up on this fancy global procedure. but i want to be a look at look at myself just go. to. the underside it disappear then don't understand it because it's going to give that little one everywhere if it has. to be which is the given and i thought i've been doing behind we've got the dog the famous and it been done in p.r. they are now that enough i'm going to get out to get another just because what us is a lawyer i don't i'm not a mother this come by the as. a lot but i think without i think you are aware of those who believe you still are your mother while that's the guy he is and that

evolves from. the bill but i've had people yes i've got to be up. we've actually been to most of us had a lot that we see on time and there's looking at you know a lot of that building and the rest of the list fundamentalist personality the masses will tell you about the. less police units being in or not will be now there is going to. use them will be a battle. with your project

striking the movements and flying locations of us what are the findings could you share that with me i think it's the by cisco so if you're in a story in some cases it was all the less than half of the devices they are rife authorize is leaned a little nyquist yes what happens is that used there is a bird in a market it is you are a story because it is value so if you have and you can take these waste to an illegal market where you can sell these devices do you out of a painting of anything.

responsible for that you need all shipments and dumping of the west african dollar . i. don't know the sufficiency is and you were trying to mr explorers and on about form as a crime. where does it all go wrong. for research we found it was leakage of virtually every stage of the process here in the u.k. at least half of the original waste and is the black market. or even china it's for exactly how it actually got diverted. from. you set out a fake company based in hong kong and we then put together sort of a remarkably hit list of companies we thought was suspicious and we contacted those companies to see what they're offering and now that's

a few meetings with these companies. our story was there one of our customers from the other goods in china that asked us to secure some supplies of c r t's catherine choose from from europe and so we were just presenting us i was going to middleman if you like yourself because it's your field and we will. just before they die when it was a fern call is something these thing europe and here was a you know we can get your 1000 pretty quickly we get them from a major recycling firm he said you know about 1000 or missler medicine so there's a computer that was a result of income or something else so we have really it's not a wall thing it's huge is that small towns or it's his you settle on for some good stuff from you know the. whole staged does that he was good i bet it members of the

public to the whole of the choice agreement to a civic i mean it's the site you know council dump site at that point these sites are run by by companies they subcontracted by the local authority local council to miners the waste but often of these locations as we found as for this of constructing 2 small companies that deal specifically with the other child waste and instead of this material being recycled it's is simply put in containers and shipped out to places. west africa on the far east. president. that i must do was sell a book about. this stuff or so i could do something for live. what is the motivation why is this so much he was been sent to got the most recent strain is just pure money pure profit if you can receive a payment from a local council and the subcontractor 200 this waste and then instead of recycling

and simply put in a container and ship it out you're basically getting paid twice or because you're avoiding the cost of recycling and you maybe give us some money to pay for clothes harvest. stagg good idea how to bag yarn story in fun land and big goals in heaven and i wouldn't feel nuts muncy contain a good list between we have full of electronic shots well that falls on does i owned at stake in a guy. we do want to close the loophole which is leading to so many electrical

goods ending up in developing nations being taken apart by by children bonfires and jumps. at least 18 years he had to hope michel he does in god's own fucking elect will shout into the tibetan and suppose an awfully kikes but yet one is just my nominal misha thomas. in the center my view does this as does the i'm mocked into name as i suppose. the elect to live in an age say about egan must convey as i say this to me and. this is a very toxic waste stream pouring out of europe we are wasting what could be and

should be used again mom it would know she had a little puss to ski vanya masoud off to the productive it all before lectern each next 23 years since cousins tot mom it to suit off to the top that. i would assume. with or without the. yeah bro i. should know i'm best is. to elect. mia illegal to be an athlete conscious exported to. the us a da needn't be x. partier in the us alice beleaguered listen to him in t.n. with snuff eyes most innocent was off watch that.

it was interesting seeing the port in scotland and having a feel for what is actually done by way of controlling these ship winds will be with. the actually open a container in my presence in the for me was so important. and historic layers west africa play model in nigeria over the last 3 years we have noticed a net increase to ghana one of the usual tricks the b.c. legal exporters use is an example change in the container drop off point last month so as we can't be there to check our potentially have and material in the 1st real fear of the container of our walkin or the butts of until something behind us is not working or done. a lot of money to be made an explanation to them that we estimate the number that exports are organizing they could potentially make up to

5000 pounds in a container. of the container and inspect the material to see if it's waste them off. as waste fridge equipment not would be private to them and be illegal to do just the very thing you put my full functionality not of this angle of covering the amount of exports that is placed in the us or someone because the facts of the use of resources the facts of what. can to come a spike to check for back up the container for material. goods regular for 2 for the pool table but the camera was no longer there just the endless as little as another and occasion that's why the majority of an effort goes into that. is of intelligence and the use of inspections on l.s.d. age we've already out information for mags most of the sure the feature of the sludge is have been tested when i was a small object in children and people of the governess marched up.

wrap that up. for me i would say that the control that i saw the port in scotland was not good enough every single item would have to be checked for functionality particularly of the contents of his refrigerator is a bit such a television set of computers to talk to final the idea waking in good working order before this should go with a just jump. in this life the most incredible stories are often true. and sharing go on experiences. makes the unfamiliar familiar. in this life diversity makes

a difference understanding the importance of being part of something much greater than ourselves in this life what tomatoes is freedom of expression. the right to mortgage. sean and a lot into the darkness. because you dislike the desire to understand that. makes us human. and the human condition is universal. and. that he has an old erik prince to account. for.

and. head to head on a jazzier. the stories generate thousands of headlines. separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the journalism. the listening post on al-jazeera. i'm sammy's a diamond doll how they look at the headlines here and al jazeera the acting u.s. director of national intelligence has testified before congressional committee over his handling of a whistleblower complaint the complaint details a call from president dog. to investigate his potential election rival trump called the hearing a witch hunt it's

a disgrace to our country it's another which on here we go again. and every ship it is crew making up stories and sitting there like. whatever you want to call of the just a really great it's a terrible thing for our country they can't do any work they're frozen the democrats are going to lose the election they know it that's why they're doing it and it should never be allowed what's happened to this president and this fight that i think i've done just about more than any president in his 1st 2 and a half years in office if you look i think you'll see virtue to compete with the things we've done for our military for the economy. u.s. secretary of defense has announced america will be sending a bantry of patriot missiles for radar systems and $200.00 personnel to bolster saudi arabia's defenses move comes off the largest ever attack on the kingdom's oil facilities earlier this month yemen's rebels have claimed responsibility but

washington blames iran. and iran's president says his country will of course in gage in talks with the u.s. if sanctions are lifted 1st hassan rouhani made the comments at a news conference on the sidelines of the un's general assembly in new york but he reiterated the trumpet ministrations current tactics are not working palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas says israel is holding a reckless war against the palestinians which includes evicting people from their homes taking away people's rights to worship speaking at the un general assembly a bass also says all agreements with israel are off if it goes ahead with plans for more illegal settlements in the occupied west bank of france is mourning the death of former president jacques chirac his son in law says the 86 year old died peacefully surrounded by his family those are the headlines the news continues here

on al-jazeera after man made the waste trail.

we don't have a law in this country forbidding that type of export right now electronic waste is the most traded hazardous waste it is recognized as being the most severe problem with respect to toxic trade and it still goes on every day from our ports here in the united states. since the country that is. wasteful country. and produce the most electronic waste .

in all different types of programs and explorers out there say we're inside all 3 of them all the time they cozy up charities the symbol of this very nice there is help for so much money. but basically it's all about filling up a seagoing container 6 things. one of the things we've been able to do to demonstrate to. as to how prevalent this type of exporting is we will just go around to these people calling themselves recyclers and you drive by them and the beauty is that you can't hide big old 40 foot container. they're all at

a loading dock so these buildings are designed so you can't drive them into the building. so it's very easy to photograph them and they have prominent numbers and we take pictures of those and we. can type that number into a database called track trace and here we see the whole record of that particular container and it's last week's voyages it's gone from thailand to singapore now it's in new zealand. we've been starting to get this data which nobody else has was really the flows look like. it comes through kong con almost 65 percent of the time from us we didn't know that and we started tracking and tracking tracking wow they're all going to hong kong.

come from every way oh uncle from the united states of america from europe and even from africa. every day do about 80 ocean going marshals coming into on call and 63000 boxes in containers coming to haunt us it really is a huge number right. just look at us just one some places to dump some to waste and see if they can find some loopholes they think somebody they foresee by the descriptions of the decoration. so as they try to. deceive their customs of

officials but i can tell you that districts will get. a receipt back to high risk on janus or ships for processing. we have 2 types of x. ray scanners we can scan on to a truck in less than 2 minutes the whole truck i mean if i tell you. his movies put a container under the scanner because season one is us. for you ways that we have a number of kaizen apos failures and most of them are the creditor posix scrap metal scrap. we intercept a container from the united states and causes the container container is being

repaired traced back to the states and then to have a successful prosecution in hong kong hong kong company and the us company also. we do not process each and every container coming or going out on call around a while there's no known one customer administration that can process 100 percent of them. have always wanted to do something to make some change so i joined going peace in 2002. first can pat is launching only waste.

to sing these amazing and the really shock we can fund of the. united states you waste in hong kong. farmland. i heard about the waste from the alyse coming to hong kong 1st store in rio. i checked my mobile phone that i found here of a big contents ariel we have here.

in this region. you can see. from the 2nd book and whole. thing. coming from the even mental protection bureau in united states you know what i was going to do we would go wrong 'd.

i think the 'd united states government should feel we still us the united states not send that waste to out a country like china. you use really spoke to us from here to. the truck to reload a new territories and drive across 3 clubs and they have to pay a bribe that's the only way they can get across or use a small coaster boat to go up the pearl river delta into areas like man high and there again you pay a bribe to unload it. when we went to look we don't see. any sign to say ok this is great but we just it's mailed greystone the same mail ok we know we arrive.

every year. similar media and you is throwing to look from overseas let the united states and europe in japan korea l l l l at least tom over 80 percent local people make life depends on the new ways to start. this is very typical local family will show. the world has recycled the plastic or c r t. the

sky used to light to burn the plastic and cars 5 difference have. the walk don't have any protective mask to protect their health. this isn't a daily life they will. miss family books are people used to pick up the. expensive metal from our cheeks. and the bad scene is the waste i see people using only going out into the river so local iran mint has been able to raid. in the summer the chosen jump into

a river mystery splat is full of hate. but i always feel ready side. of me us when he even mental friendly is good but people health well harmed and the local environment also well. really what's happening is people are extremely wise in cost you don't want to solve the problem you'd leather let someone else deal with it and you'll never have to pay for it you don't ever get a bill from china saying you contaminated my land you have to pay. we are all the time appalled what is one of the biggest balls that we have in this country. that is so much for your little ships coming in

here from all over the wall. it is a very lovely beach here i mean the coastline in ghana here it's marvelous is beautiful. but it's not done so your hogs to realize that most of the ships that are coming into the port made it would contain is the polls that help so much in that when they would say. we'll be environmental protection agency you know that it's the responsibility of educating your no more and so somebody the moment the problems. so when you say the countries of origin

a little has been shipped to god when it is a country survey of the can. we realize that about 60 percent of it comes from here and then the new used equipment not the qualified as we just. so for me the whole thing is being is for economic reasons and it is all organized like cooking business is organised. so that makes a community there's a cascading effect we big money for the book as who are mostly europeans then how do the middle grow being africans who are involved in. bringing them here they also get a certain proportion and then when it comes the local market then deal is all in or statute was on selling and other things what is the way old what should be the solution we didn't have the laws so we have developed a draft policy which was and development of the past say that we can prosecute in

country once we have the laws passed nationally that is our empowerment and we can stop it and challenge in the government's decision. to do together with my team responded by 6 months doing that mr keeshan and then we got even undercover press agents. it was was one of the biggest areas that we looked into for example most fraud have been through the east system. the stones have a form of valuation for such home appliances so it's an evolution is next to

nothing. somebody goes who clearly used clues from the west's and he would look at it as condemned good so we are not going to be devalued that he would be ordinary noble. he does this thinking about them but meant that not even they ministry not even the customs offices all that they care about is that you say you do feed them to be used and ways that might get from to. game i and. to. the do to right instead of credit taking loose ends for profit and we should. use. the manual from the city to see this as self is as walking through the 1st afford it him sells it's that because somebody think it's useful. to scrap the law to come in on this done by at the point waiting for

a bias to declare or declare some of the system declared most of them must occur and best way to take it if. it was not in the way anybody's meant to check it if you could see if i had a disability fund but told that this is it may have a faulty amount for example if you think about pay t.v. and i was the only way can really be about 2 or 3 but then that people would buy also rely on some repair work on it you want to give it to mechanics tools you can look at it to see what had become repaid. with the and put. it in the. evening go to. look at it.

and. this machine then i need to find out about god this is not. an action that is when i was working i made this one through the 4th wall from the legion of egypt. if i find out where the forces and things are if you miss 20 in. africa is no easy thing for a film gas company ties no easy to an office one just. the same since.

the who comes to buys schools if you see something is to be missed. by george a good man's about 90 percent of the man's would want to depend on these 2nd homes because. of the new forms new laptops but it is still expensive but the pool not the money good will for these the. people of say particularly some of those behind the shipment of say but while we're trying to bridge the digital divide between you merica and in the rest of africa. but the reality is that these computers didn't last and they're not helping anybody here.

in. the group are. believe it we're going to come back under the knife thank you very much. for business or please. if. any of this is that the primary area and most of the children come from deprived homes let's. be real and already. on the right is a pool of money coming without the money to buy everything but you know. when all was brought everything was taken all right i'll just tell you soon damn you saw

that if you press it to get any to not come out then the off was made and they were tingles off it's really worked for how long how many months. have went for why a year. not fun on that day who it is obsolete said virus a tad day to deploy it's possible if not take the disk. so this is not that. this is the old look where they are not liking them when you test out will key so they break into 2 with on the die says it's not working out to buy some memory and some heidi's and others the change they look at a price in town is a specific kind. of thing is not for functional when jimmy talked with burning coal companies you wouldn't hold a. positive those old equipment dust up and recycled or disposed of and then as

that is just a hobby to dump on one to the electrical items. here you find young boys some age between well let's say 5 from 5 all words you know breaking this month cling to these computers and television sets and they burn their most wall to salvage the metals and particularly couple. to go to waive it and then the middle name would put these things together and sell them to other companies and they're shipped to every part of the world companies that would need them to buy china you know anybody who wants

a. meeting the people who own these are literally right of life owning. was indeed a mixed feeling for me ongo saddam is then of course. jory. isn't a very difficult thing going numb for anyone frustrated but i'm not going to give up. my government should not be a place to recycle or disposal for the wisdom of a couple of your colleagues and every country should learn to disposal recycle it's old news. no a lot of the kids tell me that well when we break these things we burned we have paid deeks mistress headaches. isn't a call for us to run i mean that they have all respiratory problems they're not

able to breathe free will. in 10 years i want to see the kids in school i would like to see the kids do with children playing in very clean surroundings and not state all the other dumb side and burning all these things. because to them it has to stop. oh. oh.

hello there well some sunshine across much of australia and we've also got the cat with some rain showers farther to the south working its way through the great bite comes the next frontal system but not really bringing much in way of rain and in some areas new south wales in particular this is over sea reaching very serious levels this is dubbo and this is somewhere that has not seen rain for months and it's not going to stays that actually by november of many of these towns don how significant rain they will literally run out of water now there is no real rain in the forecast we've got some rain pushing across into tasmania attempt pretty warm as well 24 celsius in sydney a little bit cooler as we head into saturday at those braincells clearing through much tasmania and a fairly warm and dry day in perth on saturday with a high of 20 celsius and then across showers clearing out of the way of orcs and on

friday mostly sunny skies down to the south particularly will rain showers on their way on saturday but it's actually mild of them with a high of 17 celsius and we've got some rain showers pushing into the west of japan a line of cloud working its way south through through the korean peninsula and then as we head off into south of a the 2 actually much together so some pretty heavy amounts of rain through portions of south korea and also heavy rain pushing across into west in japan. rewind to tan's seeley. asked to see the mansion. and. the people. remind me to. say i. was in deals 10000000 children brought in bondage by the victims of trafficking in bondage the and the large numbers that have

a big number on al-jazeera. shima conspiracy. justice special coverage on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm sad to say that this is the news hour live from coming up the next 60 minutes claims of a cover up whistleblower complaint alleges senior officials at the white house

graham bolton long down records of a call between the u.s. and ukrainian presidents. u.s. is deploying a patriot missile system to saudi arabia in a bid to secure the world's largest crude oil processing facility. meanwhile iran's president hassan rouhani urges the u.s. to engage in dialogue and reason. and i'm sorry a smile with the score of a live from khalifa stadium in doha the world that likes championships begin here on friday for the 1st time in the middle east we'll look at how organizers and athletes are preparing for the want and he met whether. explosive allegations against donald trump have been revealed in a whistle blower's complaint the last details how the u.s. president tried to persuade his ukrainian counterpart to investigate his rival joe

biden the on named intelligence officer just triumph was using the power. hour of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in next year's election the whistleblower says white house officials then tried to lock down politically sensitive information about trump's phone call with law to me is that an skied by moving the full call transcript it's one of the government's most sensitive and highly classified computer systems where the document was released shortly before trans top intelligence official appeared before congress and what amounts to the 1st steps of an impeachment inquiry the acting director of national intelligence joseph mcguire refused to recount specific conversations about himself and the president that includes whether he had spoken to trump about the complaint did you ever speak to the president about this complaint my conversations with the president because i'm the director of national intelligence are privileged and it would be inappropriate for me because it would

destroy my relationship with the president in intelligence matters to be divulged any of my conversations with the president of the united states but just so we can be clear for the record you are not denying that you spoke to the president about this complaint what i'm saying congressman is that i will not disclose privileged conversations that i have as the director of national intelligence with the president the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff accuse the u.s. president of sacrificing national security for personal gain yesterday we were presented with the most graphic evidence yet that the president the united states has betrayed his oath of office betrayed his soul to defend our national security and betrayed his oath to defend our constitution for yesterday we were presented with a record of a call between the president of the united states and the president of ukraine in

which the president our president sacrificed our national security. and our constitution for his personal political benefit were just off to the hearing ended the u.s. president lashed out house democrats it's a disgrace to our country it's another which on here we go again it's at every ship it is crew making up stories and sitting there like hi is whatever you want to call of the just a really great it's a terrible thing for our country they can't do any work they're frozen the democrats are going to lose the election they know it that's why they're doing it and it should never be allowed what's happened to this president and despite that i think i've done just about more than any president in his 1st 2 and a half years in office if you look i think you'll see very few could compete with the things we've done for our military for the economy well john hendren joins us

now from washington d.c. john lot of new information allegations coming up today about suppression of information take us through everything we've law. that's right sammy democrats are using a new word to describe what the white house has been doing cover up we learned earlier from a transcript the white house released that in a conversation with the ukrainian president donald trump repeatedly pressed him to investigate joe biden now this has to do with a conflict of interest investigation of the company that biden's son. hunter biden worked for but trump pressed him repeatedly we knew that before but today what we learned from the whistleblower report which i'm holding right here is that the white house apparently tried to lock down that information they moved it to lawyers in the white house who apparently ordered people to move that information

to another computer which is usually used only to secure classified information and the whistleblower says this is not the 1st time this has happened so what does that mean that means the congressional invested in the congressional hearings that will look into what those other documents are they're going to be trying to subpoena documents from the white house that is going to increase this battle and intensify this thing just got much bigger sammy you may recall that with the clinton impeachment it began with a failed land deal ended with a perjury charge we never really know where these things are going to end up digressed the show is only just begun this impeachment process take us through what's to come especially whether efforts are on the way to get the whistleblower himself to testify. well the head of that house intelligence committee which today called the director of national intelligence on the carpet for the trumpet ministration for holding off on delivering this whistleblower report we learn from

adam schiff the chairman of that committee that that whistleblower wants to testify now whether the top administration will try to block that testimony we do not know we don't know the identity there speculation about who it might be there are even been stories suggesting that it was a cia agent who was assigned to the white house we don't know any of that what we do know is that this whistle blower blower heard these stories secondhand from senior u.s. officials and white house officials this would make for an explosive hearing if it were publicly televise you can bet the entire nation and much of the world would be watching that but the bottom line question is would it really change public opinion right now the house of representatives seems to have something near the amount of votes that they would need in order to charge trump with impeachment with violating his his duty in office and launch an impeachment investigation in the senate the

senate then as centrally carries out a trial and right now the senate has a majority of republicans they appear unlikely to want to pursue that but you may recall that in the watergate case it was after republicans joined democrats that the pressure really came down on richard nixon and that ultimately ended in a resignation so this could be explosive whether that was a blow or will actually end up testifying publicly we don't know. john 100 nothing so much. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including one of france's most famous politicians former president jacques chirac dies at the age of 86 we'll look back at his life. britain's prime minister suffered another political blow as he tries to push ahead with braces. and in sports 7 tries for england at the rugby world cup we'll have all the.

the pentagon has unveiled new measures to protect saudi arabia's oil facilities the us is to send a battery of patriot missiles for radar systems and $200.00 personnel to bolster saudi arabia's defenses the announcement comes after an attack earlier this month from the world's biggest crude oil processing facility yemen's who 3 rebels claimed responsibility for the air strikes in saudi but washington blames iran go live now to article hane in washington d.c. so what message is the u.s. trying to send. well that's the message we've been waiting for for a good couple of days let's not forget it was friday late evening in us time that we had the pentagon call a last minute press conference we saw the secretary of defense we saw the chairman the joint chiefs of staff come out and say that they were going to respond they were going to take the weekend did they figure out what exactly

a message they wanted to send and now they're sending these patriot missiles it says it sends the message that the u.s. is clearly still focused on the defensive as opposed to the often to remember after these attacks on the oil facilities there was a lot of tough language we saw secretary of state might call it an act of war the president seemed to escalate the rhetoric before bringing it back down so now they're saying the message that they're going to continue trying to help saudi defend itself not necessarily go on the off chance the other question is how effective is this actually going to be it's believed that saudi over he has patriot missiles protecting its key infrastructure wasn't able to stop this attack so it might be more symbolic than anything but they did say that they're putting other troops in other radar equipment on standby in case it is needed because there is a question on how effective the patriot system can be when it comes to drones and that's what the u.s. says was used in line with cruise missiles in this attack so sending the message to the saudis that the u.s. supports them defensively is the bottom line all right thanks so much i think ohio

in that. phyllis bennis is a fellow at the institute for policy studies joins us on skype from washington d.c. good to have you with us if i could ask you 1st to talk to us about how effective are any of these systems as far as we know to the sort of drone attacks apparently all processing facility was targeted with. well we don't know exactly what those weapons were that attacked the processing facility so it's it's very hard to judge i think that what's important here is less about this specific capacity of protection then it is about the u.s. sending a message i think semi that had a hand was absolutely right in saying that this was about a message from the u.s. administration their military security relationship with saudi arabia remains unchanged and that they are continuing in fact to escalate this already very

dangerously over armed region in the name of maintaining this. anti iran coalition led by saudi arabia israel the u.a.e. that the u.s. is still part of that it's so far still defensive officially but there is a very serious danger of a new perhaps officially unintentional war breaking out as they continue to escalate the level of weaponry across the persian gulf we should remember sammy that this is a moment that didn't begin with this attack on the oil the oil refinery it began when the u.s. withdrew from the iran nuclear deal a year and a half ago that's what set in motion this level of military escalation across the region and while the pressure is on the ministration on president trying to do.
