response to u.s. sanctions on friday president donald trump approved sanctions against companies involved in the pipelines construction the u.s. has criticized the project for handing too much power to russia. the sanctions on the north stream to project are included in a wide ranging us defense spending bill president trump signed the legislation into law a ceremony held at under full space just outside washington. now my honor to. sign the 2001 a marriage will defense authorization act into law. the sanctions target companies involved in the almost 10000000000 euro project to double the pipeline capacity carrying russian natural gas to europe's leading economy germany most of the pipeline has been completed all seized the company building the unfinished section through danish territorial waters announced it was holding its

work in anticipation of the new law. washington had made it clear in advance that noncompliance would have consequences you know senator cruz who is the sponsor of the bill wrote a letter to the c.e.o. of all scenes today basically saying as soon as this bill is signed into law you're out of compliance and you are subject to sanctions so it's a it's a it's a hot topic. the u.s. move has angered germany a longtime ally. rejects the idea that washington can legally impose sanctions on 3rd parties. next come to we have long been against extraterritorial sanctions we have the same problem with iran in my opinion the only solution is to hold talks very decisive talks with against letting these extra territorial sanctions take effect. despite the anger in berlin

filled with a renewed confidence in our national destiny and determined at last take advantage of the opportunities but not before us but despite the sweet talking johnson had stripped away many of the sweetness to reason may had added to help them piece support it before the election that raised passions from the opposition to this things that have been issues not only workers' rights that being downgraded it is parliamentarians rights because the ability of the legislature to scrutinize executive has been taking it is bad for democracy 2. outgoing labor leader jeremy corbyn still licking his wounds after humiliating defeat drew attention instead to what he saw as bricks it's damaging implications for ordinary people will sell out on this deal will be used as a battering ram to drive us down the path of yet more deregulation. bans awards i took sick deal with donald trump he didn't draw attention to

a surprise in johnson's bill which will limit the negotiating time to just 12 months critics argue it will give the prime minister less room to maneuver in talks johnson says it'll speed things up. we depart from the e.u. on the 31st agenda that point breaks it will be done it will be over johnson's mantra during the election was get bracks it done but it's unlikely that the argument over britain's place in europe will end with this bill on the new rules. nuff said the bush fires are raging across australia's new south wales state with 2 blazes around sydney burning at levels and. agency services have now confirmed the 2 firefighters died on thursday night high temperatures and strong winds have created caps a structure that conditions as firefighters battling more than 100 fires across new south wales several roads heading out of sydney are closed and authorities are
