12:34 pm
i like. the headlines in our to europe says it is prepared to use its most powerful tools. from u.s. sanctions which washington wants to impose on anybody doing business with iran. when you approach to russia and quitting the euro are among the plans confirmed by one of the parties poised to form with the least next coalition government despite u.k. claiming that russia was the only country with a. poison attack. the german media and i report. since the one nine hundred ninety s. which.
12:35 pm
follow there are six pm here in moscow you're watching international. now the e.u. has threatened to use its own economic. weapon to block the u.s. from sanctioning european firms doing business with iran commission president jiang called younker said that brussels could for the first time ever use the so called blocking statute banning any firm from complying with foreign sanctions. or put of work as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we now need to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six we will do that tomorrow morning at ten thirty. ok more details now from artie's peter oliver in berlin for us peter then just tell us more about this blocking statute and how it could actually work in this situation. right well it sounds great doesn't it the blocking statue it what is it it is the strongest weapon that the e.u.
12:36 pm
has in its legislate legislative arsenal what it essentially means is that e.u. based companies can disregard decisions made by a non e.u. court now in this instance it would be any decisions made by courts in the united states targeting e.u. businesses that were doing trade with iran. now this law is going to be revamped it was first drawn up back in one thousand nine hundred six it's never been used a revamped version of this will be put in play at ten thirty tomorrow morning now we'll have to wait to see exactly what will be in the version it introduced but it would have to be something that didn't take into account the the u.s. financial system which many major companies not even many major many european companies will have involvement in how can they be protected from money that they say have in the united states all of those are questions that are going to have to be answered in the fact that world some companies have already taken that they go
12:37 pm
in and pull their business out of iran they've already shown signs that they're worried by potential sanctions and they aren't hanging around to see if this blocking statute will help them we can hear from to tell right now. total will not be in a position to continue the s.p. eleven project and will have to unwind all related operations before the fourth of november two thousand and eighteen unless total is granted a specific project waiver by the u.s. authorities with the support of the french and european authorities. well speaking at the summit interfere. france's president of money will micron's said that he and other european leaders are prepared to do everything they can to help and to stop european companies suffering from u.s. sanctions. but is it of the taji of of the movie the new we will work to maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen deal in spite of the american decision and we will do so in a concrete manner by maintaining our political engagements by ensuring that our
12:38 pm
companies can stay in iran and also by getting all parties to pursue negotiations for a larger indispensable deal but that hasn't stopped companies like german ensuring giant. the danish shipping company maersk from already wrapping up a winding down their operations in iran they don't want to fall foul of potential u.s. sanctions as we see the decision by donald trump to pull the u.s. out of that iran nuclear deal having repercussions on the relationship between washington and brussels sure ok thanks peter that was artie's peter oliver there. now italy's five star movement has confirmed to r.t. it is preparing a draft resolution alongside its euro skeptic ally the league party to form a coalition government and quit in the euro and lifting sanctions against russia do
12:39 pm
appear to be among the major issues proposed after the document was leaked to the media with more his shot at the pinsky. many people see these two parties who are from the left and the right side of the political spectrum as being quite radical parties they're anti establishment they're anti e.u. and already that leaked documents and it details of course some jitters on the stock market with many investors selling off their italian assets when those leaks were put online so what's in the document what's causing this vexation they want to leave the single currency that would mean quitting the euro they also want the european central bank to write off some of italy's debts with two hundred and fifty billion euros they also talk about russia and relations with the country between russia and the e.u. saying that they want to scrap the sanctions that are currently in place against russia and want to see russia as being a trading partner and not
12:40 pm
a threat and also quite crucially they want to revise the e.u. migration rules that currently exist which mean that migrants have to apply for permission to stay in the first country that they set foot on well we have had confirmation from the five star movement that this document is authentic but we've been told that it isn't all document and there have been revisions since that was dated on may fourteenth however we are aware they've told r.t. that there is a final agreement that's already been put in the new agreement on russia but we don't know the routing of that yet but one certainly to watch out for given the tensions between the european union and russia so why is there anxiety about these two parties coming together is seen as being anti establishment and some fear that the suggestion that these two parties could form a governing coalition in in italy could actually threaten and destabilize the euro
12:41 pm
zone if you think about it italy is one of the three. crucial members of the euro seen including france and germany and if you think of it as being a three legged stool if you take one of those legs away then it could just completely collapse all around and that's what many people fear will happen with these two parties if they come together but let's be clear they haven't yet released a final document they're still working on that they want to form this governing coalition so that italy doesn't face fresh elections that there still seems to be some sticking points before that government can be formed over and over. at the school of political science at the university belong year thinks if the deal is actually implemented it could influence the policies of other e.u. countries i think the key thing to hear will be. the actual action of the government will be if a government is in place with this platform so rather than the words written in the
12:42 pm
agreement i think we'll have to see whether this government. actually starts starts governing starts running the country and which policies it actually tries to put into action so this could have an impact on other countries both in terms of the rhetoric towards europe and in terms of specific actions. now then a possible game changer in the script poisoning case because a new report by german media does suggest that burley obtained the chalk decades ago and then shared it with its allies the nerve agent was used in the incident involving expiry cripple u.k. blames russia for the attack claiming it was the only country possessing the substance let's get now more from london with our correspondent there polly boyko polydor and what else did this report say in the german media. well look it's come out thanks to this extensive investigation in the german media and the headline grabbing information really or revelation rather here is that germany's foreign
12:43 pm
intelligence agency the b n d has hand a sample of the novacek nerve agent since the early ninety's it says it was brought over they say by a former soviet scientist and moreover according to these reports it was then analyze that sample in sweden and passed on to germany's nato partners that includes the u.s. and the u.k. the german media recitation alleges that this shows that russia has produced novacek which is something that. categorically denies but coming back to that formula it appears to have been looks like now a pretty badly kept secret essentially earlier this month the czech president. said in an interview that the czech republic had also produced and stored albeit a slightly different strain of nerve agent to the one used in souls very in
12:44 pm
significant amounts take a listen to what he had to say. small amounts were produced stood in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be critical to britain so should things never hurt. however politically moscow has been cast very much as the unequivocal perpetrator of the soul's bre attack to reason may said that it was highly likely that russia was behind the attack on the screen take a lesson. called studies about the identity of the culprit no other country has a combination of the capability the intent and the motive to carry out such an. alternative explanation but. this is. close even to give. the explosion that's what the politicians have said but
12:45 pm
the head of the government here in the u.k. that was analyzing and identifying the sample of the nerve agent used in the attack porton down the head of that government lab hasn't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent itself used in soulsby and now some news outlets are saying that these revelations about germany having a sample and passing it on appears to explain how britain was able to identify it but at the same time the revelation also goes to show that a whole wrong of countries have had a sample of this nerve agent for nearly two decades now and as one of the newspapers that published this investigation has said this british theory that the poison.
