and. w. . i am. live from but in this news the global lens is focused on iran at this hour while leaders are gathered at the u.n. west security is extremely tight president donald trump is due to speak soon and he is likely to discuss the tensions between the u.s. and i do open countries and we take you live to new york for that speech as soon as it begins also coming up britain's prime minister vows not to let his supreme court

defeat get in the wake of brecht's it. there are a lot of people seem to me to prostrate there are a lot of people in. this country coming out to be just the court finds johnson's move to suspend parliament with the brits a deadline was unlawful and want options does he have now we'll go live to london for that. pattern of a warm welcome to you i'm on that that shima u.s. president donald trump is about to address the u.n. general assembly amid dries in tensions with iran as world leaders gather in new york recent attacks on a saudi oil facilities have released concerns about the potential for military conflict in the middle east the u.s. . germany france and britain have also blamed iran for carrying out the attacks

iran denies design again the country's president hassan rouhani is expected to meet with german chancellor angela merkel later this evening. joining me now is the. alexander from naaman she is at the united nations and joins me now from there alexander the u.s. president donald trump is due to speak there shortly what can we expect from him. so for me it's the 3rd time that i'm covering his address to the united nations and therefore i would expect him to focus once again on his america 1st poll the sea as he did last year and the year before he will probably talk about the importance of taking care of for the american people 1st before solving the world's problems he will probably talk about other nations who used to take advantage of the united

states and that he. was president has been trying to change it we just got a few excerpts brought the white house. and indeed to data and evidence that he might be focusing on his america 1st policy so he is expected to say that i quote if you want freedom take pride in your country if you want a democracy hold on to your serenity if you want peace love your nation but of course we also expect him to talk about iran and to stress is to stress how much of the threat iran is and here it will be interesting to see whether he is going to get back to his fire and fury rhetoric rhetoric he used in the case of north korea or if he is going to urge the international community to join the united states in pressing iran to and is maligned excessive it is in the region and to go back to the negotiating table in the past alexandra european leaders have condemned trans

hardline approach towards iran but now they are with the u.s. and blaming iran for the attacks and solve the oil facilities how do you think that will affect iran policy will it have an impact on it. here probably because i think that it was a very significant step to issue this statement he has to day and by doing it the europe. ministration that they can come together on this issue if the you ask governments refrain from using military force against iraq if the u.s. government is to give diplomacy a chance and that is apparently what president trump is thinking about there are a lot of hawks in his administration trying to argue that he needs to to show thread. a solution to to to agree to

a military strike against iran. he seems reluctant to that he promised his 1st 2 and america and less. that by using military force it could lead to more tension. and to a war and that's something that hurt these chances to get reelected next year so alexander having a bit of a problem with the line to new york let me see whether we can fix that problem and i'll come back to you meanwhile let me introduce you to my other guests here with me in the studio our chief political editor michelle a coup for his here as well as my colleague de marco can you from deed of these arabic language program of 2 boys if you look at the start with you. now what kind of signals has iran been giving in the build up to this u.n. general assembly in new york actually america is going to be really interesting today and tomorrow we have a trunk versus the how new we have also a plan against a plan to different objectives to different perspective i'm talking about we are

expecting that it's going to talk about international coalition he wants the acceptance of support from the international community while rouhani and i'm quoting him here he said to these ago in a military parade he said we're going to all. hand of friendship and brotherhood to our region the countries in the region order to protect the strait of hormuz we don't want any international interfere in the feelin's i mean military interference let's do it by ourselves so basically are we going to trust iran this is a big question now with the analysts they're saying we don't know because what the what the honey is saying is totally different than what that evolution regard they are acting on the ground and this is a very tricky question 2 different plans let's see who is going to win the international community the language of ford and paul would all of the language of peace and what is behind all of this it would is aimed to see what has been rouhani has been talking about a rival alliance but we come to that in just a moment and i want to go and draw you in now we just heard just

a short while ago that i'm going to mechelle is due to meet hasan rowhani how significant how surprising is that well it's very significant it's not that terribly surprising because these assholes musings are quite commonplace but of course this comes at a very crucial moment as has highlighted this whole the prospect of iran organizing the region is actually what france and europe and the u.s. are afraid of to a certain degree they don't want iran to be the dominant power in the region and they're afraid of that nuclear program in manama called the french president has already met with rouhani at the same time the signals we're getting from the u.s. president is that he said he's not looking for mediators if they the iranians want to talk to us they know who to call so it doesn't look like the europeans have much of a chance of doing a lot of mediation that at the same time one thing the europeans and germany has been insisting on all along is that they both sides all sides actually need to keep talking about how united is europe when it comes to iran where europe is very

united in that it wants to see the day c.p.o. a the iran nuclear deal continue or get a new injection of life at the same time there is a major rift particularly between the u.k. and the rest of britain who. joined the u.s. effort in the strait of hormuz off the coast of iran so it's taking more of an opposing stance towards iran whereas certainly france and germany have a lot more clout at this moment in time with the iranian regime getting to the mill you were talking about rouhani mentioning building up a rival alliance in the middle east. and that's a rival to what saudi arabia and washington's nexus to this more that's the interesting part of it that he wants to he is asking saudi arabia to join him in this coalition his coalition order to protect the straits of foreign wars it's often in the hand too when he say that just to see countries his mentioning saudi arabia even mentioned and i'm quoting him that you know we are willing to forgive the mistakes that means riyadh basically is riyadh is going to apply and in which

way exactly kendriya do anything without the green light from trump and this administration these are very big questions they're absolutely with that is a very interesting concept because saudi arabia and iran are very still political and security rivals here and you ever see them come together and to could have collectively work for security in the region well in political international relations you never know and rita when there are benefits coming benefits we don't know if it's trump and the honey they're going to meet in the u.n. general assembly what is going on behind the scenes how the europeans they're going to act towards that saudi arabia i don't know there are so many questions open and in the region about saudi arabia itself i mean it's the world's largest arms importer from 2014 to 32018 they are still asking the support and protection from from the americans they spent billions billions of dollars also for the advance arms what happened to all this arms all these are you know open questions when that

when trying to decide something this is the this is what they're saying actually in the region maybe saudi arabia i don't know if they can say no or if they can say no we have our conditions and how they are going to play their guards if they have cards there when it comes to try. and your honey and also to the little bit of swiss mark a major shift in the regional balance if that happens but turning to you mention that i'm going to mecca is going to be meeting house and rouhani on the sidelines of this u.n. general assembly how important is iran for jimmy does jimmy see john as a partner all as a threat as both would be the source and just to add to or demas that i actually like the imagination right now that the united states would suddenly sift gear and go from seeing iran as the major threat in the region to a potential partner the saudis are certainly not going to make any kind of big move without the support from this president this administration which so dogmatically

is against the iranian regime now germany france and britain actually have been united in wanting to keep that what was actually the minute the lowest common denominator when it came to containing iran's ambitions in the region that was the nuclear arms program to keep that in check that's what the europeans are very united on the problem is that they don't have that terribly much to offer now that the americans have slapped sanctions on the iranian regime which is now really suffering deal eating. salad oil and this is actually an existential threat to the reigning government right now and what the iranians keep telling the europeans is that they sued allow them to at least sell the oils of pump billions into the country which would essentially again stabilize the regime the americans are against this so you get the drift it's a very complex situation and just to add one more thing in sticks which is kind of

a payment method. that was designed by the europeans to allow minimum trade to continue simply isn't working right now so the europeans are calling on iran to stick to an agreement that is not giving them the. benefits right now that's what we are looking on let me just remind viewers what we are looking we've got a little box been monitoring the situation the u.n. general assembly the proceedings are underway the brazilian president has just spoken and be waiting to listen to donald trump and as soon as he starts speaking we'll of course take you live to that speech in returning not to my guest said the to me from arab language some people are returning to you know when the united states is a very close ally of saudi arabia the other way to saudi arabia is of a close ally. of washington what lies behind that other business interests a key element money money money and so it's to oil don't forget that when we're talking about $40000000000.00 saudi arabia paid to trump and his administration for

the infrastructure and for many things that means like thousands and thousands of jobs this is 1st also trump is a businessman who had always repeating this the statements in addition to that saudi arabia they need you know i'm just not in there. because we're looking at donald trump and he's just walking up to the death and about to start speaking to address the u.n. general assembly let's take a listen to what he has to say. mr secretary general distinguished delegates ambassadors and world leaders. 7 decades of history have passed through this hall in all of their richness and drama. where i stand the world has heard from presidents and premiers at the height of the cold war we have seen the foundation of nations

we have seen the ringleaders of. revolution we have beheld saints who were inspired us with rebels who stirred us with passion and heroes who were involved in us with courage. all here to share plans proposals visions and idea is. biggest stage like those who met us before our time is one of the great contests high stakes and clear choices the essential divide that runs all around the world and throughout history is once again thrown into stark relief it is the divide between those whose thirst for control eludes them into thinking they are destined to rule

over others and those people and nations who want only to rule themselves i have the immense privilege of addressing you today as the elected leader of a nation that prizes liberty independence and self-government above all the united states after having spent over 2 and a half trillion dollars since my election to completely rebuild our great military is also by far the world's most powerful nation hopefully it will never have to use this power americans know that in a world where others see conquest and domination our nation must be strong in wealth in might and in spirit that is why the united states

vigorously defends the traditions and customs that have made us who we are. like my beloved country each nation represented in this hall as a cherished history culture and heritage that is worth defending and celebrating. and which gives us our singular potential and strength the free world must embrace its national foundations it must not attempt to erase them or replace them looking around and all over this large magnificent planet the truth is plain to see if you want freedom take pride in your country if you want democracy hold on to your sovereignty and if you want peace

love your nation wise leaders always put the good of their own people and their own country 1st the future does not belong to globalists the future belongs to patriots the future belongs to sovereign and independent nation who protect their citizens respect their neighbors and honor the differences that make each country special and unique. it is why we in the united states have a barked on an exciting program of national renewable. in everything we do. we are focused on empowering the dreams and aspirations of our citizens thanks to our program of economic policies our domesticity unemployment rate

reached its lowest level in over half a century. fueled by massive tax cuts and regulations cuts jobs are being produced at a historic rate. 6000000 americans have been added to the employment rolls in under 3 years last month african-american hispanic american and asian american unemployment reached their lowest rates ever recorded we are marshaling our nation's vast energy abundance and the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world wages are rising incomes are soaring. and 2500000 americans have been lifted out of poverty in less than 3 years

as we rebuild the unrivaled mite of the american military we are also revitalizing our alliances by making it very clear that all of our partners are expected to pay their fair share of the tremendous defense burden which the united states has borne in the past. at the center of our vision for national rindu. is an ambitious campaign to reform international trade for decades the international trading system has been easily exploited by nations acting in very bad shape. as jobs were outsourced a small handful grew wealthy at the expense of the middle class. in america the result was $4200000.00 lost manufacturing jobs and 15

trillion dollars in trade deficits over the last quarter century. the united states is now taking that decisive action to end this grave economic injustice. our goal is simple we want balanced trade that is both fair and reciprocal we have worked closely with our partners in mexico and canada to replace nafta with the brand new and hopefully bipartisan us mexico canada agreement. tomorrow i will join prime minister of japan to continue our progress in finalizing a terrific new trade deal. as the united kingdom makes preparations to exit the european union i have made clear that we stand ready to complete an exceptional new trade agreement with the u.k. that will bring tremendous benefits to both of our countries. we are working

closely with prime minister boris johnson on a magnificent new trade deal. the most important difference in america's new approach on trade concerns our relationship with china in 2000 won china was admitted to the world trade organization. our leaders then argued that this decision would compel china to liberalize its economy and strengthen protections to provide. things that were unacceptable to us and for private property and for the rule of law. 2 decades later this theory has been tested and proven completely wrong not only has china declined to adopt promised reforms it has embraced an economic model

dependent on massive market barriers heavy state subsidies currency manipulation product amping force technology transfers and the theft of intellectual property and also trade secrets on a grand scale. as just one example i recently met the c.e.o. of a. terrific american company micron technology at the white house micron produces memory chips used in countless electronics. to advance the chinese government's 5 year economic plan a company owned by the chinese state allegedly stalled micron's designs valued at up to $8700000000.00. soon the chinese company obtains patents for

nearly an identical product and michael was banned from selling its own goods in china but we are seeking justice in the united states lost $60000.00 factories after china and the w.t. . this is happening. to other countries all over the. the world trade organization needs drastic change. the 2nd largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country in order to game the system. at others' expense. for years these abuses were tolerated. ignored. or even encouraged. lobel ism exerted a religious pull over past leaders causing them to ignore their own national

interests. but as far as america's concerned those days are over. to confront these unfair practices i placed massive tariffs on more than $500000000000.00 worth of chinese made goods. already as a result of these terrorists supply chains are relocating back to america and to other nations and billions of dollars are being paid. to our treasury and. the american people are absolutely committed to restoring balance to our relationship with china hopefully we can reach an agreement that would be beneficial for both countries. but as i have made very clear i will not accept a bad deal for the american people. as we endeavor to stabilize our relationship

we are also carefully monitoring the situation in hong kong. the world fully expects that the chinese government will honor its binding treaty made with the british and registered with the united nations in which china commits to protect our own comms freedom legal system and democratic ways of life. how china chooses to handle the situation will say a great deal about its role in the world in the future. we are all counting on president xi as a great leader of the united states does not seek conflict with any other nation. we desire peace cooperation and mutual gain with all. but i will never fail to defend america's interests. one of the greatest security threats facing peace loving nations today is the repressive

regime in iran. the regimes record of death and destruction is well known to us all not only is iran the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism. but iran's leaders are fueling the tragic wars in both syria and yemen. at the same time the regime is squandering the nation's wealth and future in a fanatical quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. we must never allow this to happen to stop iran's path to nuclear weapons and this is i withdrew the united states from the terrible iran nuclear deal. which has very little time remaining did not allow inspection of important sites and did not cover ballistic missiles.

following our withdrawal we have implemented severe economic sanctions on the country. hoping to free itself from sanctions the regime has escalated its violent. and unprovoked aggression in response to iran's recent attack on saudi arabian oil facilities we just impose the highest level of sanctions on iran central bank and suffering the wealth. of all nations have a duty to act. no responsible government should subsidize iran's blood lust. as long as the ron's menacing behavior continues sanctions will not be lifted they will be tightened. iran's leaders will have turned

a proud nation into just another cautionary tale. of what happens when a ruling class abandons its people and embarks on a crusade for personal power and riches. for 40 years the world has listened. to iran is rulers. as they lash out at everyone else for the problems they alone have created. they conduct. ritual chants of death to america. and traffic in monstrous anti semitism. last year the country's supreme leaders stated israel is a malignant cancer is tumor. that has to be removed and eradicated it is possible . and it will happen. america will never tolerate such anti-semitic a. fanatic several long. used hatred of israel to

distract from their own failures. thankfully there is a growing recognition in the wider middle east that the countries of the region share a common interest in battling extremism and then lieschen economic opportunity. that is why it is so important to have fold normalize relations between israel and its neighbors. only a relationship built on common interests mutual respect and religious tolerance can forge a better future. iran citizens deserve a government that cares about reducing poverty ending corruption and increasing jobs not stealing their money to fund and massacre abroad and at home. after 4 decades of failure it is time for iran's

leaders to step. forward and to stop threatening other countries and focus on building up. their own country. it is time for iran's leaders to finally put the iranian people 1st. america is ready to embrace friendship with all who genuinely seek. peace and respect. many of america's closest friends today were once our greatest foes the united states has never believed in permanent enemies we want partners not adversaries america knows that while anyone can make war only the most courageous can choose peace for the same reason we have pursued. bold diplomacy on the korean peninsula. i've told kim jong

on. what i truly believe that like iran his country is full of true.
