8:03 pm
to see you helena we just heard from u.s. vice president pence he says iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve but that begs the question i mean just a couple of weeks ago president trump cancelled a strike on iran at the very last minute i wondering 3 is there a split within the white house when it comes to how to deal with iran. they are i think what we're witnessing all the unfolding ramifications of a president who may have boxed himself into a corner because we know that president trump says that he is opposed to military conflict at the same time we just heard from vice president mike pence there and in his address he was expected to say and journalists received that speech where the lines say that washington now extends an invitation to tehran for talks however the last minute he did not deliver that line so of course that begs the question what
8:04 pm
is next and could it be that iran has taken a leaf out of the north korean playbook for example a country which doesn't have economic might on the walls stage as is the case with iran ju to those choking economic sanctions but nevertheless is increasing the prospect of nuclear capability and with north korea we saw that that was enough to see president trump quite literally step foot into that country so who is going to blink 1st that is the question of time of course when those economic sanctions are hurting the iranian economy very badly indeed and now let's focus on this recent development now the u.n. nuclear watchdog has confirmed that iran is enriching uranium beyond the permitted limits set by that to nuclear deal how has washington reacted to that development. i think it's fair to say later with concern and that is not just within the
8:05 pm
administration now what we are currently seeing is just under 5 percent levels of uranium enrichment that is just a few inches closer to having nuclear capability what you would need to see is 90 percent uranium enrichment for really having a weapons grade level there nevertheless iran has threatened incremental. paying all that percentage every 60 days and were we to then reach for example 20 percent i think that's when they would be a lot more long because then would be at a level i'm probably at to the 2015 nuclear deal itself all right to hell in a home for our washington correspondent thank you for your coverage. want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. new york prosecutors have charged billionaire financier jeffrey epstein with sex trafficking authorities say you exploited and abused dozens of girls as young as 14 epstein has

ruling and for that i want to turn now to oregon a lot what combi who is a trial observer for the international justice monitor he joins us now from the i.c.c. in the hague where he has of course been following proceedings from day one sir a very good evening to you what makes this conviction so historic. many things make this conviction historic one of them is that. this is the 1st. conviction. so many sexual violence crimes i've been exposed and i see see another one is the rude. members of the new show groups also have. war crimes committed against them in this case rip they thought of the i was in looked over ip there was rip of child soldiers in the u.p.c. which the difference was pointless to they're going to. sit in another one is that
8:08 pm
the lead just number of counts. against. 18 videos of been convicted of 115 crimes of these meaning it is the biggest but. it's about finally. all the individuals that have been convicted by the i.c.c. . longest on the most intimate. q was there a monday he was up to for a very long period of time and he was involved in a number of which they all crimes are going to have walker well let me pick up on that what you just said so he had a long track record this trial began almost 4 years ago in light of the evidence against mr to god why did it take so long to convict him.
8:09 pm
to clone to the trial was up to not to low try it so was one of the sharpest trials in. tom's because it was only much of printf i've seen but sometimes done with groups to the i.c.c. he was a pretty minor all of them. in the water and all his others told him well so many but because of the very of the congolese government wanted him to. see he remained a free month. even when the torah or his hours i've got 20 seconds left he turned himself in why because the other militiamen in his group while trying to arrest him he wasn't safe anymore. so he's probably you were so you felt he was safe in the hague is that a fair assessment. one would think that to behave nobody would kill him.
8:10 pm
maybe he also believed that sort of a case. we found guilty but when i look at also say is that this conviction is real a griffin in for the prosecution because of the loss of a case is a member of the president vice president the whole but more with the former president of course so it's just in a big book the prosecution on the i.c.c. of the. historic conviction there at the i.c.c. in the hague or were kabhie from the international justice a monitor certain think you for joining us. noble spoke. next in the women's football world cup final united states have held onto their title beating the netherlands 2 nil megan rypien o.-port you. bronze from the penalty spot before 2nd goal from rose lavelle out of the finishing touches of the

8:12 pm
members players all of the united states national team the u s w n t are already suing their own u.s. soccer federation over what they say is gender discrimination over pay and conditions and they highlight for example of that sometimes they are just 38 percent of what their male counterparts gain and given that that women's team have now won full well cops and the men have $10.00 you can see that they do have a point fifa will be paying them $13000000.00 u.s. dollars in prize money which sounds great but then you look at how much the next champions of the mail will comp will win and it is $440000000.00 u.s. dollars. and we can him now from the u.s. women's captain macon rypien over who was speaking today. it certainly should be more and i think. i don't even know how to answer that question but i think there needs to be a big investment in the women's game so maybe for one player god forbid we be

overpaid maybe i could just maybe i could just happen like one time in a month you know because of their own knowledge she has a lot of support on social media she were to tell us because it's basic as you were just saying as the vin numbers don't seem to add up we have 120 user who writes the u.s. w n t doesn't deserve equal pay now they deserve more pay than the u.s. men's national team because the women have won 4 well cups and the men have $10.00 the women are champions and the men get paid more for the qualifying bet to pay now and another user writes a classic case of women having to vos the outperform male counterparts to make the pace case for equal pay now and actually we've even heard from the famed snoop dog who has decided to comment on this he put a video on his instagram page that's have a watch for crow sharks it or you're sorry we're missing for the 4th world.
8:14 pm
war i want to talk about is are they going to get $90000.00 per player but for me if they were to give $500000.00 per player they're paid in ladies' man. paid him girls would be worth the women should be getting 500000 perfectly. doc says sorry bro to do it that's solid support right there where they go from here well already fee for have said look for the for the next women's world cup we're going to double the price money from $30000000.00 us $1.00 to $60.00 which sounds great but again it's just a fraction of what men are going to. for their prize money when that next comes round surely though off to all of this success the u.s. soccer federation has to listen to what these incredibly successful women a say in that they want to be paid fairly and i think that will be the area that we will see movement surely has to happen see brother but for certain men never i
