12:05 pm
a holy site in several religions however israel claims it as its capital i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but. the was. the last i. was not the first. i. was. sure should europe be nothing more than a quote vassal to america that is the disturbing question posed by a senior french minister it comes as anger does run high in europe following trump's decision to ditch the iran nuclear deal. it was her duty europe needs to
12:06 pm
create new systems that will defend its interests good what do we want to be bustles that wouldn't be blinded to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we're having economic interests and want to have economic relations with iran inside the brain work of a strategic deal with iran it which includes the ransom announcing of nuclear weapons within that this is the right way to go and so we continue to do business with iran strong words from the french finance minister there but he isn't the only one in europe that's been vocal in their criticism of donald trump over the decision to pull the united states out of the iran nuclear deal angela merkel never want to give a press conference unless she really has to or she's actually issued two statements in as many days expressing her disappointment in donald trump's decision this is the latest mistake and i think it's not right to unilaterally to handle
12:07 pm
a deal that was agreed upon that was now unlikely approved in the u.n. security council that diminishes come from any international order. and it. is money if we always say that if we don't like things and we can achieve a new international order that everyone will do what they feel that's bad news for the one. it isn't just the german chancellor though that's coming out in making the statement she's presenting a united front along with the french president. he spoke on thursday also he said that no nation should have the right to be able to upset the global order and said that all countries have to respect international law no matter who they were in it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence that don't respect international law to follow our example when we don't even follow that example ourselves. well those two leaders have been criticizing donald trump's
12:08 pm
decision quite publicly whereas if we look to the european union what the reaction has been from brussels well we've heard from federica maka raney she's the e.u. her representative for foreign affairs that's pretty much the closest thing the e.u. has to a foreign minister she said that as far as the e.u. were called cerned the deal would be adhered to she said that your run was sticking to their side of the deal and that the you would stick to theirs the agreement with iran and its nuclear deal is not a bilateral agreement it is a multilateral project which represents in achievement of the world it is now interest to fulfill it because it is a guarantee of our safety tough to say whether this is confidence or just blind optimism from ms mockery. she says that the european union will stick to their side of the deal we'll have to see if they do that how that is taken in washington because donald trump of course said that if any country was helping iran all that
12:09 pm
they could potentially face sanctions are beginning to see what happens from the european side and also what the reaction to that would be from the u.s. side as well it's all over in berlin now to a man of it international affairs defense spokesperson for the france and semi's party believes this could actually be a make or break moment for the in his relations with washington. macro and micro were in washington they said that they would try to convince him not to change the agreement but until now is the boss is showing of the boss so. if they do not show any independence here. nothing changes the reduced be a small region of the huge us empire but if they act as the it sounds they will act which is good they will react and say that they will continue. to say women do with
12:10 pm
iran maybe it will be the very first step of of a true european in the pendants well just days after the us pulled out of the deal washington imposed a new round of sanctions against several iranian individuals and also companies but these new measures threaten to put the screws on european companies doing business but as well as artie's daniel bushell reports so sanctions are back iran probably doesn't care much it's had them in one shape or other for for decades washington shooting itself and our allies in the foot surely not. the youth and way over ten billion euro of stuff to run last year relationship in full bloom corporate giants now licking wounds include the biggest hitters on the continent from volkswagen to british airways air bus may be worst hit it signed
12:11 pm
a nineteen billion dollar deal with tehran just two years ago three billion more with as a man airlines why should europe care if trump quits the iran deal because he can make it your problem to write off the trumps announcement on his very first day on the job new u.s. ambassador to burley and tweeted the following all minutes threat as donald trump said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of iran's economy german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately issuing national threats via twitter seems trump picks people in his own image but this time he's crossed a diplomatic red line my advice after a long ambassadorial career explain your country's policies and lobby the host country but never tell the host country what to do if you want to stay out of trouble germans are eager to listen but they will resent instructions welcome to our country sir i'm looking forward to
12:12 pm
a good cooperation by the way this excludes threatening german companies for a policy announced by your president ignoring core security interests of europe here we have the entire nature of the transatlantic alliance of the order for the sham let it is because this is not and i and equal partners and friends successive european governments have actually claimed it is indeed their relationship between i hate you morning behave math washington and its utopian satellites and sure this has all kinds of ramifications certainly more than economic ramifications for those companies so long as it helps the u.s. economy right trumps the businessman after all he must know how to oil the wheels of trade apparently not. gas prices of top flight can logical benchmark of two dollars eighty a gallon almost a painful fifty cents up in just a year and u.s.
12:13 pm
employers are hurting too just weeks after trump's election boeing toasted a seventeen billion dollars deal for eighty u.s. built jetliners to iran air but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite mantra i will take jobs back. to jobs or jobs good jobs and even great jobs jobs jobs today's agreement will support tens of thousands of u.s. jobs directly and nearly one hundred thousand u.s. jobs in the u.s. airspace value stream for the food course of deliveries jobs jobs jobs no more future deals go on existing contracts cramped u.s. workers on your bike so who take their place iran's already struck billion dollar deals with russian playmaker. china's all over iran like a rash huge energy deals you railroads and in cold hard cash
12:14 pm
iran has a strategy. of alliance with the russians and the chinese if. europeans leave if. american companies leave what happens is that iran is going to substitute the u.s. with russia and china. well anger has been vented on the streets of tehran as thousands turned out to denounce president trumps decision to tear up the iran nuclear deal. but i know. what i. was. i. am following washington's criticism iran then fired back saying that the us itself has never fulfilled its commitments under the agreement struck three years ago and we discussed the issue with the political analyst side stuff a. person here in tehran is that the europeans are trying to play the good cop
12:15 pm
after the u.s. withdrawal a major part of the concessions that you always to receive on the deal is gone right now although the united states never abided by its commitments and they remain only over the paper that the sanctions were removed mainly over the paper but still there are parties gone right now and the europeans are offering you on the. part of the concessions that he was to receive that's exactly why you rein ians are so adamant to you know future of this deal and they don't want to continue because they're mostly. in other news tonight at least six people have been killed in a reported saudi airstrike near the yemeni capital less according to local officials a word of warning there you might find the following picture is disturbing.
12:16 pm
the video agency filmed the rescue operation you can see that many people are trapped in the collapsed building here local medics claim the strike hit a home and the use of a shop yemeni journalist saying i gave us more details about the rescue. scene this video all the kids that were trapped under the. rubble they were from one family which was targeted by so did that. they've been under the rubble for hours because the saudi has befriended her from reaching the site and we have seen in some of this video that one of the a girl called this a all which was crying and she was asking for some water just imagine she has been waited for four hours. and she was thursday she couldn't feel her body and she thought that she was not injured and you can see totally in the footage. that was broadcast by many local t.v.
12:17 pm
channels that she was really really badly injured by this so-called so would be. what we have sent requests the sign he led coalition in yemen asking for comment about the recent airstrike there although so far we have received a response a spokesperson for the saudi coalition has said previously though their goal is to restore yemen's legitimacy and to make the country safe and secure however according to human human rights group the bombing campaign has resulted in a grave crisis in the country saudis have repeatedly insisted they target the rebels are not civilians but hussein kiter again says he has evidence to the contrary. those bombs were brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this yellow bright color just what are out there all in their villages i mean i want to ask the u.s. ambassador to the united nation or supplying. this bomb to the southeast of coalition the only company that actually is using this bombs on yemen the only
12:18 pm
company that i mean to have a little cave in yemen the only five that have that on the sky in yemen they ought us over the fight that to get that out of fuel and by us suggests the only thing that they like is they've skated on both is what type of missile that the yemenis out of over the whole of the off. the u.s. democrats claim is massive new evidence of russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election we'll have a look at it just tough to break. don't trump claims he's the master of the deal but when it comes to iran it is the art of no deal trump claims he has made america safer a dubious claim closer to the truth has probably attempted force regime change in iran.
12:19 pm
by too many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the superman each of. us spending suited to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great so we'll watch runs for. six points. hello again an activist he was violently escorted out of a u.s. senate hearing and detained on wednesday has now been released side the court
12:20 pm
seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed the bruises he claimed were caused by the security offices he was among a group which interrupted the session to the names the controversial nominee for cia chief gina has. was going to be. resisted my father in many respects. never stop resisting. was ready to stop her i mean our you know just like. we're following that incident right mcgovern was charged with resisting arrest and disrupting congress explain why he decided to speak out against the appointment of the new cia director. nobody's hero you know what we're trying to do you do is to be patriots now as an army officer first and then as a government employee with this year i took just one solemn oath ok that was just
12:21 pm
for to defend the constitution the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic now i've checked actually i have checked before you those polled. and it's the only oath we take doesn't always have an expiration date. guess what it does. us democrat lawmakers have released thousands of social media with alleged links to russia and it to explain how the kremlin this supposedly seeking to sow discord in america during the twenty sixteen presidential election but gas has more. here it is the panacea to all your doubts russian meddling exposed three thousand five hundred and nineteen ads on facebook posted by russia allegedly say us democrats the russian social media campaign was designed to further the broader criminal ject of sowing discord in the u.s.
12:22 pm
by inflaming passions on a range of divisive issues the point of these ads they say was to divide americans but you take a closer look and the real takeaway is russia really really sucks meddling take this ad for the african-american civil rights movement zero clicks zero impressions meaning no one ever saw it real poor interfering right there but next now here is a surprise a blue lives matter post black versus blue sea by a grand total of no one all right. so far but how about this one an ad for muslims it says we believe in individual liberty in the free market take heart liberty will prevail the catch is it appears as if posted by a group defending the second amendment the right to bear arms and there are
12:23 pm
literally hundreds of such groups and facebook alone ok ok let's think something truly divisive to meek across a black doctor felt humiliated when done to airlines flight attendants refused to believe that she was a qualified physician now that's allegedly intended to stir up tensions to tear americans apart except that's exactly how it was reported in the us media is responding to a viral facebook post from an african american doctor who says she was discriminated against on a flight she. says when the flight attendant yelled for a physician on board she raised her hand but was rejected you know how much the russians spent in this one hundred thousand dollars huge sum right it's roughly zero point zero zero zero one percent of what trump spent on his campaign so what's the takeaway russia is really bad at meddling some of those
12:24 pm
ads were never seen by anyone mothers were copy pasted from mainstream media and that's if you believe that these were russian ads the only thing viz ads prove is russia will never ever be as good as us media a dividing america. is not against us now attacking the opioid epidemic has become a top priority for the trumpet ministration with overdose deaths rising sharply in recent years so part of the plan is to cut back on prescriptions for the drug use america expects. a crisis in the u.s. it's reached the point where the drug enforcement administration itself says it should be doing a better job the united states continues to be affected by a national opioid epidemic which has been spurred in part by the rise of opioid
12:25 pm
prescribing and misuse the da can and must do better let's quickly break it down in a span of seventeen years two hundred thousand people have died as a result of overdose deaths involving opioids increase four times from ninety nine to twenty sixteen and the da blames doctors indiscriminate prescribing can endanger patients' lives doctors take an oath to do no harm and provide the best care for their patients but is it fair to pin the blame on doctors when it could be a felt that breakfasters individuals and companies to sell controlled substances and guess what they're for. funding is dependent on it da must face it a level that ensures the recovery of the full costs of operating the various aspects of the diversion control program in two thousand and seventeen the da claimed that it issued one point seven million licenses around five hundred thousand more since two thousand and eight a pharmacist who prescribe drugs to almost all of his clients is now serving jail
12:26 pm
time for ground zero as west virginia where doctors write hundred and thirty eight prescriptions for every one hundred people did you write three hundred twenty five prescriptions the first week of january for more than nineteen thousand oxy code on pills. possibly you don't know how many prescriptions you wrote i don't i don't and they may well be he's still behind bars but his license was never revoked it just expired well a da report showed that criminals are often allowed to continue practicing medicine even after doing their time in one instance a doctor who was selling prescriptions for controlled substances to undercover police was sentenced to five years supervised probation but never lost his license if that's not shady enough the agency issued licenses to individuals that have a history of drug abuse and trafficking. even well intentioned compassionate physicians have gotten caught up in the problem of overprescribing i
12:27 pm
think the da does bear responsibility primarily in that their job was really to police whether or not opioids were being indiscriminately prescribed dispensed and even transported to these very small towns and they didn't do their job in that regard but why is it that licenses are rarely revoked while the acting head of the d.a. believes the system is to blame we have done a lot of civil fines but when you look at major businesses civil fine seem to have little impact i think that's part of the frustration i think the key to it is his worst days either don't have the ability to connect with each other or the system that actually aren't being used as is highly problematic and the way the system works means we're only seeing the tiniest fraction of life with both for talking to your zero point zero one four percent out of one point seven million licenses so one of the things that we are now recommending is that before the v.a.
12:28 pm
grants a license to a physician there should be required education that that physician should have in order to get the da license in the first place what would be much more important is training physicians in how to safely prescribe opioids in the first place and once they have prescribed opioids how to monitor patients so that they can see whether or not that patient is becoming addicted misusing the opioid or diverting it to other sources. some eerie calm of course now you without international will have more nice in thirty.
12:29 pm
four cities the. americans i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war two cures the depression cars united states is concerned prosperity of course in store. for the for us the whole world what it what and. historical real rate ever since world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush you are so you call me out you are up close to a swath of the earth so you could call them go. for i think world war two
12:30 pm
has been distorted credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. when lawmakers manufactured consensus and stupidity of public wealth. when the ruling class is rich. themselves. in the final merry go round the sun in the one percent. to ignore middle of the room signal. is really low.
