international. starts with breaking news for you president trungpa signed a new sanctions bill against russia becomes a response to alleged meddling by moscow in the u.s. presidential election because live now to washington speak to our correspondent that jacqueline jacqueline is this come as a surprise. not really i mean president trump has rather reluctantly signed this bill into law he released a statement saying that while he favors tough measures to deter aggressive behavior by foreign powers the bill is seriously flawed and he only signed it for the state sake of national unity and the president noted that he expressed concerns from the beginning about a number of points within the legislation but congress included a number of quote clearly unconstitutional provisions and it's haste to pay past

the bill but due to the landslide votes that came out of both the house and the stand out last week the president didn't really have a choice but to sign off on the sanctions on tuesday secretary of state rex tillerson also commented on his and the president's right of the new measures but seemed hopeful that russia and the u.s. could move forward despite despite them. their action by the. congress to put these sanctions in place in the way they did not do the president nor i are very happy about that we were clear that we didn't think it was going to be helpful to our efforts but that's the decision they made that made it a very overwhelming it was a i think president except. now these new measures hit russia's energy and defense sector and could actually also end up affecting european countries that work with russia as well germany's foreign ministry has already come out saying that they consider these unilateral sanctions coming out of washington to be unacceptable but

will wait to see how trump chooses to move forward on them and the european union's chief executive has said that the new sanctions had taken into account some of the blocs concerns but they stand ready to retaliate if the measures hurt their economic interests in any way moscow on for their part has already reacted with counter sanctions reducing america's diplomatic presence in russia by over seven hundred fifty members and seizing two properties today a statement from trump ended with the president noting that he can make far better deals with foreign countries than congress but if measures such as these continue to be enacted he may be prevented from doing just that many things of course with jacqueline in our washington office ok let's bring in a guest now can speak to the chairman and founder of the rome institute very sunday joins me on the line good speech donald trump is not a man who does things that he doesn't want to do and he did indeed call this bill significantly flawed and despite all of that he's gone ahead and signed it what was

his motivation to do so. well i think he feels the pressure the deep state the need to call on and the media are very very powerful and they can put a lot of pressure on the president so they ganged up on him and i thought he had sort of a mediocre position on this i was strongly opposed to it and i volunteered my advice which was totally ignored but he went ahead and signed it i think it was more like a political thing but i don't think on the long run this benefits i don't think it benefits america it certainly doesn't benefit you know peace in the world between europe and russia so i think it's a terrible thing to have happen but there are some those who coached qualified to be to suppose in the deep state they are determined they are determined almost obsessed with making sure that there is no friendship between the united states and

russia between putin and trump i think that is tragic you know even when russia and the soviet union existed we actually were quite willing you know when necessary to talk and work out some problems but now we're moving in the other directions there are literally anxious to see this because they think the interests of the various countries that in fall whether it's syria whether it's iran and these various areas. they don't if they allow us to be friendly with russia that it will undermine their goals in the middle east so this puts donald trump in a difficult situation one thing he said during his election campaign was that he would be the man calling each and every shot from the white house another thing he said was he wanted close will friendly relations with russia is a both of those are being thwarted just how frustrated will he be. well he's really very frustrated but it also goes to show that you know you know

the intellectual community the people who design policy are actually outside of washington so if you have people preaching socialism or people preaching interventionism or people who desire to have an american empire are they really are in charge so he is going to be frustrated and will be but they are merely reflecting the amount of control that the individuals in our media and in the political sphere and unfortunately there are they're doing quite well even overcoming the little bit of effort as they deserve it because he is his campaign rhetoric and positions were much better but they weren't based on firm convictions and that's why i think he can go sort of go back and forth thinking maybe that conceding a little bit here the deep state will ease off on the pressure but i don't think that's the case if you give me and they just add on to the pressure and i think

it's much better to have a precise philosophy and a policy. of course our institute is dedicated to peace and prosperity and getting along with people and trading with people which is exactly opposite of looking for enemies and looking for sanctions and putting on pressure and have this militarism going on so that i think this means that our institute think that our foreign policy is moving in the wrong direction is this just will particular issue with congress and disagree completely opposite ends of the spectrum or is this is solid of how it's going to be throughout his whole face with congress opposing it. well i think what's what's going on is this is the big issue but they don't mind using the medical issue as a lever and say well look if you go along with us and maybe we'll help you in these other areas but they don't want trump to have the credibility where he would be

allowed to be more independent on foreign policy so they had to do their best to have an embarrassment over obamacare but then that is another standing issue so i think it will affect other issues one thing the republican administration is hoping for that they can overcome these obstacles is getting enough republicans together to actually try to stimulate our economy with some tax reform and tax reductions so it remains to be seen but you know if there is this determination. deep state once the chaos and the kind of conflict with russia they might even work very very hard one way or another to even stop you know some things that would be very beneficial like changing our tax code and reducing taxes even if it meant redone reduced taxes for the entire middle class they would fight this if they think there's any sign that they're losing the fight in promoting this antagonism

with russia in terms of the sanctions who do you think they hurt the most is it russia is it iran china or is it double trump. wow in the long run i think it's the american people because we give you know this move toward conflict rather than peace and prosperity so it's a hot or cold war usually affects our civil liberties here at home and when you think of they need less wars that we have been fighting for fifteen years in the middle east we've also suffered tremendously from loss of civil liberties here in this country but you know in the short run trump is going to be set back i think i think those individuals who colin is the right you know a mentality of conflict with russia they seem to they seem to be winning but i think they're beginning more desperate because in many ways you know our whole goal our government's goal was to get rid of assad your side has to go and that was the

previous administration so this attitude is bipartisan and that is been been going on but i don't think anybody believes assad is going to disappear so i think there's been a bit of a victory for for russia and the syrians and which makes people who want to be you know patriotic everybody wants you know strong patriotism and strength and victories so the neo cons will play on this and say hey no they're getting pushed around we're getting kicked out of syria well i'd like to have never gone into syria to tell you the truth that would have been a pro american foreign policy but i think all this stuff is going on oh mentally it hurts the american people and hurts is because we lose our civil liberties it hurts is because we send our military around the world and they suffer consequences and we suffer the consequences of wasting a lot of money you know and financial condition our dollar right now is down ten percent this year so there's some ramifications from the us and the dollar being

down have a lot of there's a lot of reasons for that but it might be a reflection of what's going on in foreign policy at least that could add fuel to the fire ok if you would be so kind of living to stay with. we'll come back to you in just a moment to discuss some other issues in the meantime let's talk about the fact that the united states has carried out another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile this was in the pacific the second in less than a week when it comes amid rising tensions with north korea but while the secretary of state says that washington wants dialogue there are signs that a military option could be in the offing. we do not seek an excuse to send our military north of the thirty eighth parallel we're trying to convey to the north koreans we are not your enemy we're not your threat every military expert says there is no good military option they're wrong. to destroy north korea's program and north korea itself he's not going to president trump the ability of

this madman to have a missile that hit america if there is going to be a war to stop and it will be over there thousands die they're going to die over there and they're not going to die here and he's told me that in my face that may be provocative but i really don't judge politicians by what they say judge them by what they do and by all appearances donald trump is ready for war he's seen the pentagon's plans for north korea and the likelihood they've already selected a battle plan is are in motion and what senator lindsey graham has said only goes to reinforce that if millions have to die then so be it are you saying it's ok to use a military option that immediately endangers the lives of millions of people in that region. north korea changes if you have any doubts that the u.s. is preparing for war take a look at what's happening on the ground on the korean peninsula u.s.

troops ships jets forces are arriving there in a ceaseless stream and see me sell shields up blanketing the airspace there are endless simulations war games exercises this isn't about scaring north korea no this is about putting all the pieces in place so when the final go order comes they're ready to move trump the rule promised to deal with north korea he just didn't say how. well handled in a career we're going to be able to handle it will be it will be handled we handle everything oh they aren't barbarians they won't rush into a war where potentially millions of people are going to die in the first few days alone. you have rex tillerson the secretary of state running around talking about

diplomacy negotiations talks and sanctions a diplomatic effort to dissuade north korea and to stop its nuclear program was unclear whether he himself believes that it's possible breakthrough now when it hasn't happened in decades but donald trump is on a different path and the white house is much more blunt and they're happy to tell you nothing the president obviously has been very outspoken about how he feels about north korea when all options keeping all options on the table and as we've said many times before we're not going to broadcast what we're going to do and tell that happens ok let's bring back u.s. former u.s. congressman ron paul who saw him along with his. speaks very very tough terms about north korea he seems like he's readying for conflict is he doing this though just to appease congress to get them on side.

i think he's grandstanding i think he likes to intimidate he hopes that his type of rhetoric will be good and work out his good diplomacy but he keeps saying all options are on the table quite frankly he hasn't ever considered nor have we as a government considered the option we should have considered you know where a few years back in the seventy's we had to leave vietnam after a tragic tragic loss of a sixth sixty thousand americans and vietnam has survived and done well and we're friends with them and we trade with them when we went into korea and i consider illegally because it wasn't a declared war we kill a lot of people koreans kill a lot of americans killed but we stayed there so the option that we ought to put on the table is what we just get out of there let the koreans deal with it and quite frankly with our intimidation we create and i think actually is acting and

responding. a realistic manner because pete looks at what we have done we've got we've got khadafi to get rid of his news we got saddam hussein to get rid of his nukes and then we destroyed them they had nothing to defend themselves with and also we had the iranians we have this treaty where they're basically agreeing not to make a new new and they can verify this but our government now is still yelling and screaming. you know that we have to deal with the danger of iran so i would think the options on the table is just threat and intimidation i think and the south koreans their new president has expressed an interest and maybe they we ought at least talk a little bit with north korea their families would like to get together again it's really their their business because they are vulnerable if we go around and mess around and that's why it's hard for me to believe that they would be that stupid as to start bombing north korea without north korean committing an act of aggression.

and they may come cough some artificial act of aggression so that they can go in and bomb but can you imagine what seoul korea is going to look like i mean it is a disaster i think lindsey graham is one provocative person who wants this he speaks for the neo conservatives and the deep state he wants this this is their whole goal because this is the only way they can cancel out the losses all of our foreign policy strategy in the middle east so unfortunately. although i think would be very unpopular he ran for president didn't get any votes he's very unpopular except for our media he gets on the he gets on all the major networks and he gets to talk tough talk why we have to go after this guy that has a bomb i don't believe he actually has a bomb he'd like to get one and he can hold united states in check a little bit if he has that option and he and he's he's he's just not

likely he's not able to do it those missiles have not been proven that they can reach this so it's all hype it's not a whole lot different than when i was in congress and worked real hard to try to prevent our invasion of iraq. all the lies that were told and based on our invasion was based on that we're hearing this same type of war propaganda and that feeds and to the people who make a lot of money off a war not only the people who sell weapons but also the people who gather up the oil on the natural resources so it's a bad struggle is very dangerous but i think we could have a foreign policy if it were designed more for non intervention that we could contribute to a more peaceful world is fascinating just listening to the thing you just said roland you've kind of set it up in the sense that you said you don't think that the people in charge of that stupid to do this again and then you explain how they've done in the past the know all the situation it is really kind of history repeating

itself in the. that isn't a threat and you've got very aggressive politicians in the military industrial complex begging for an opportunity what are the chances that we're going to see conflict with north korea can you put a percentage on this. i would hope it is less than twenty five percent but that still is a disaster just out of practicality because maybe they'll wake up and realize how dangerous that is what i worry about you know is a false flag you know that we have our ships over there and we have these military exercises and all they have to do is have one american ship sank or something and then it would be all all out war you know and never ask questions who did what but there are some people who would you know literally do that in order to provoke this type of activity so i you know i just don't want to believe that in iowa personal relationship to what was going on up in korea when i was in the air force

at different times but i had a teacher that was drafted for the korean war you know and back in the fifty's and was killed over there and i don't see any sense to it now to think i don't see much sense to any of these wars and i don't think there's many countries are totally. guilt free from this because there's always seems to be pressure in a country for a strong patriotism and being tough and most of the time is it's talk and bombast but then it gets out of hand and they anticipate oh yeah he would be dumb enough to do this we'll do this and that in finally there's an action or somebody let's move in or somebody listens to graham and things my god. is ready to go i guess we'd better go if he says that there are about to destroy the world we better destroy them first and that's part of the bush. the bush doctrine is you go there before they start before they come in before they are grass which is

a policy that i feel. rather detestable great as always to speak to some really forthright views really appreciate your time for us congressman founder of the rumpole institute is my guest. ok the month specter of a deadly knife attack in hamburg on friday was supposed to been deported long ago we'll explain all after this break.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be. actually going to be this is what the three of them will be good. interested always in the water. suspected of a deadly knife attack in hamburg on friday was supposed to been deported long could go that's according to german media which claims that berlin missed a deadline to return him to norway where he first applied for asylum we contacted

germany's migration office for comment. in the case of the federal offices read mission request was made on fourteenth of july fifteenth one day after the deadline norway rejected the federal offices read mission request meaning that germany became responsible for this now and procedure this happens at a time when increased number of asylum seekers had already arrived in germany and the federal office placed enormous challenges well we're starting to unravel what is then a tangled web of of mistakes of bureaucratic mistakes that led to a mayday the main suspect in friday speight all stopping even being here in germany we know that he arrived in germany back in twenty fifteen he had no identification and was clearly according to authorities suffering from mental illness mental problems he couldn't be deported at that point back to norway his fingerprints were checked they revealed who he was that he'd applied for asylum in norway that he'd

been rejected he could have been sent back immediately he wasn't he missed that deadline and norway effectively said he's your problem right now the federal migration authorities they've said they were overwhelmed by the numbers at that time we're also hearing from the federal prosecutors not in the time he was here in germany he was able to self radicalized that he didn't tended on dying as a martyr in that attack on friday afternoon in a supermarket in hamburg he took a or it's he's the main suspect the only suspect in taking a knife from the display in the supermarket removing the packaging and then launching a brutal attack against a fifty year old man who died at the scene seven of the people were wounded as well it's raising a lot of questions over the what the regulations placed on migrants and knowing just who is where and who has the responsibility to deal with whom. former m i five intelligence officer sean believes that the rise in lone wolf attacks means

europeans are having to learn to live with a new reality i think frankly germany was overwhelmed the authorities were overwhelmed and they couldn't keep track intelligence agencies in germany is facing an uphill battle just trying to keep on top of what is going on in their country and you know there's a correlation there between the welcoming arms of the german people people to the refugees which was a wonderful thing to do but the correlation between that and the increase in so-called lone wolf that off attacks not least the the lorry attack in berlin before christmas last year which killed twelve people is amazingly high so i'm sure the debate is going to go on in germany about this people do need to be vigilant and that is the new reality and it's very sad that we have to think like that but to keep walking around wondering if there's going to be a lorry or a car plowing into a group of people and again you know there's been many many instances like this that are getting reporting from other countries across europe where people have

just done that because of road rage or because they're drunk with a driving under the influence or never but the automatic reflex of all our populations now is that is this a terrorist attack and there's that sort of kneejerk reaction that fear this is being created and that of course at least from an intelligence perspective is the pure definition of terrorism. ukrainian journalist who's been a vocal critic of the country's authorities has been arrested on charges of treason and terrorism russia slammed the move claiming that it's part of an effort by give to silence opposition media or to somebody sue explains. ukrainian journalist facility more of its you has been arrested and detained and being investigated for treason by the gradient security services for articles and blogs that he's posted between two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen and these articles and blogs are apparently critical of the ukrainian government and after searching his flat the ukrainian security services claim that they found evidence that has been paid by so-called russian administrators to publish such material at the same

time or of this is being investigated for terrorism but really more of this case is far from the first example of what some would call the ukraine's continued crackdown on anti-government journalists this website called mirror out cigarettes which is translated as peacekeeper this was is launched back in two thousand and fourteen well last year they cost global outrage when they published a list of four thousand journalists and media stop accused him of being enemies of ukraine and collaborating with terrorists for their reporting on eastern ukraine critics have described as a witch hunt website but going back to more of this case well a lot of journalists around the world as well as human rights organizations have raised concerns over his case as well as the issue of press freedom in ukraine. a room of more details than an evil story will have to do is head to our web site all dot com hope to see you with more news will be back at the top of the hour.

is an american inspired attack on north korea in every one certainly gets that impression listening to washington's warhawks is north korea a growing military threat of course it is but it is also under threat is there still time for diplomacy. you can see the border from here by the. steel fence on this side. like i said this is a this is. and this is. you have every right to be here have a right to collect my food be a part of my family on both sides of the border. started an organization called the arizona border recall we are a standalone entity. that is doing. with these to be done in the five years it's

getting worse the fly alludes is escalating because it's. really good are great when somebody calls you know they believe that their ranch is there and they don't believe. that that is taking responsibility for their security which we would for anyone else. seem wrong. to me that he's yet to shape out this day become educated and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she's to look for common ground.
