the publication of just one fairly insignificant part of the scandalous papers cost of billionaires to flee from the panama tax savings. bringing many influential people's careers to an end to see. so what dangers might the publication of a second or even further to the scandalous papers mean for the world. the global war for the secret trillions is at its peak and this time it will not end an ordinary protest.
5:17 pm
whoever it was that ordered such revelations of clearly very much the task but who will the next target be. the panama papers began with the mysterious john doe tomorrow's leaks perhaps from singapore the british virgin islands or even the cayman islands for example. might also be given to journalists by an equally furtive character known by a new pseudonym. alone. desisted i'm really interested in the time. frame for interest to force the far year. i am no one just a concerned citizen. the

central bank especially there is the lender of last resort or to provide liquidity of case there's a credit freeze the fact that you have central banks becoming the buyer of first order and that they're printing money to buy stocks is a complete inversion of what their role is supposed to be in the economy and they become a giant hedge fund. i

last chance president trump agrees to again waive certain sanctions on iran but warns that the us will walk away from the nuclear deal unless revisions are. also coming up this hour the washington post bureau chief in beirut is blasted on twitter for praising the bravery of a syrian journalist who is reputed to be a terrorist sympathizer. at new york's police unions the forces commissioner of the city mayor blaming bodycount video is being released for political gain. live from our international news center in moscow this is r.t.
5:21 pm
my names you know neal it's just after eight pm here welcome to the program our top story donald trump has agreed to extend sanctions relief for iran but he say's it's for the last time four months from now the u.s. president will again have to decide whether to continue to hold off on imposing sanctions as required by the pact and he insists that visions to the hard fought agreement are not made america will walk away in two thousand and fifteen the obama administration foolishly traded away strong multilateral sanctions to get his weak nuclear deal despite my strong inclination i have not yet withdrawn the united states from the iran nuclear deal instead i have outlined two possible paths forward either fix the deals disastrous flaws or the united states will withdraw. even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the iran deal he has decided to keep the deal intact extending sanctions relief but also warning that this will be
5:22 pm
the last time until the deal is strengthened a bit sanctions will be added on iranian entities for their alleged support of terrorist groups now this comes after his national security advisers and other signatories have all urged him to comply with the agreement and the e.u. has been urging washington to stick to it for months and great the value of the g.c. p.-o. way that you do you see the room the deal is working you want to. protect just a few a. why it should pay for this do this crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of your own well the agreement was signed in two thousand and fifty and it was hailed as a breakthrough in u.s. iran relations as it ended international concern over iran's nuclear program and it's often described as obama's signature foreign policy achievement but trump has always accused the country of violating the quote spirit of the deal now at the last deadline that trump the way of sanctions but decertified iran's compliance
5:23 pm
with the deal which is completely unrelated to all of this a it's not part of the deal and b. iran's ballistic missiles already been capable of carrying nuclear warheads now we'll just have to wait and see if congress and u.s. allies will agree to trump's demands only arena and foreign minister house hit by a don't trump for making the ultimatum saying the u.s. should stop jeopardizing the pact we asked people in to run what they think about trump's position. you know that trumps plan will never be practical because it's harmful for america this is a global agreement and it's not just the u.s. that imposes sanctions and puts pressure on iran if the us wants to be isolated then yes it is the right way forward on where iran should stand strong against these actions because the more weaknesses show the more demanding the us becomes. and i don't think there is a brain in trump's head he's crazy and he's the one who is unpredictable and i guess i think if he were really able to kill the deal he definitely would have done
5:24 pm
that by now i think it is more of threat if you have the public their interaction while in response to trump's threats a number of european officials voiced their support for the deal most recently germany's foreign ministry said berlin is committed to its full implementation and a former adviser to iran's teenager in the nuclear negotiations told us that the spike the bluster the u.s. would in fact be the loser if it backed out of the pact is the president that makes decisions and you have to go one day at a time and don't place too much. in his all to meet them today because this deal serves the nurses national interest. defense sector. tillerson and others and we've heard from the various european leaders just a couple days ago that this is you know working. through nine reports has confirmed that iran has fully. and so there is really no rationale or
5:25 pm
justification for trump to go against the crowd and really you know land a big stop on the u.s. is quote debility international scene. well while the u.s. tries to suppress around nuclear industry the pentagon has reportedly been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic weaponry the plans were due for release next month but have already been leaked to the media the first of its kind in eight years the nuclear posture review the blinds extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the i dated arsenal it also aims at developing similar nukes so-called low yield weapons a move that opponents say makes nuclear war more likely the plan wants funding doubled as well over the next decade and the document lists russia china and north korea as threats which need to be countered well the federation of american
5:26 pm
scientists say the u.s. already has well over a thousand. nuclear warheads but in fact there are as powerful as the bombs dropped in japan during the second world war their proposed expansion is in contrast to president trump's earlier page to see global denuclearizing. number one i would like to do you know the world i would like russia and the united states and china and pakistan and many other countries that have nuclear weapons to get rid of them look pentagon itself says it won't comment on the preliminary version of the document robert nigh men from the just foreign policy campaign group told us that more usable weapons are unlikely to strengthen washington's powers of the turds. nobody really thinks that any sane person is going to use nuclear weapons in a strategic competition the point of having
5:27 pm
a thing if there is any point at all is you know so that the other person will be deterred supposedly using your nuclear or their nuclear weapons because then you might use yours how doing more nuclear weapons doesn't change that contractors are going to make money off of producing nuclear weapons so they'll create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are now something that is not in the interest of the world it's not in the interest the majority of people in. the washington post bureau chief in beirut has faced a volley of criticism after posting a tweet praising the bravery of a journalist from free syrian t.v. it was quickly reveal though that the reporter has links to extremist groups said on off reports everybody needs a hero even beacons of independent journalism like the washington post and what better candidate than a man doing his job despite the constant threat of bombs. this syrian jauntily
5:28 pm
standing in the open field well bombs explode all around him is very lucky to be alive no flood jacket or helmet you can barely hear the explosions he and his colleagues are very brave a professional for all of us journalists to look up to right wrong this book may have a pretty cover but it's the gripping content that's of most interest this man in the video is to hear our model and possibly the best way to understand them is this tweet shiite militia turned into minced meat sixty people killed in an eyesore suicide attack some respect for the dead maybe no now i'm satisfied he writes the different mission of bloodlust if you ask me in this picture is all smiles and handshakes with the saudi cleric a jihadi role model here. sydney is sitting down against the backdrop of terrorist
5:29 pm
flags here's the one of i saw and hears not as he worked as a mediator trying to reconcile the groups back in twenty fourteen he set up and ran a training camp for child soldiers in syria and has reportedly made repeated calls for sectarian genocide no wonder he's on the u.s. security blacklist masini is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with many bells that night at this hour now bit of that. the group is embedded within this video. is internationally designated as terrorist born as a branch of an al qaeda affiliate later they swapped sides figuring i saw flavor terrorism was more to their liking when i reached out to the washington post's beirut bureau chief about her tweet she disputed the fact that she ever gave praise to the man or his so-called journalism. i dispute that they gave praise to the
5:30 pm
journalist or his journalist i pointed out that standing out in the field and continuing to talk while explosions and there were no fall around you is brave she still admires is bravery though the mainstream media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take beloved all karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the regime forces absolutely not so what that he's giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least he's taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights. they support the terrorism so how on earth i support human rights i support terrorism that's that's the bottom line of what they are hippocratic they have.
